Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 238: Huo Wu’s Filial Piety

Afternoon.

Dan Heng was reading behind the front desk.

Footsteps suddenly sounded, followed by a familiar aura.

The Sea God, Poseidon, appeared in front of the service counter.

His face was glowing red with cheer—completely devoid of divine majesty.

He smiled and said, "Dan Heng, think about how you're going to thank me!"

Dan Heng gave Poseidon a puzzled glance.

He had no intention of dealing with this erratic guy and lowered his head to continue reading.

But Poseidon snatched the book right out of Dan Heng's hands.

One glance at it, and he froze on the spot.

The book, of course, was about pregnancy and fertility.

"You... you rascal! Those Scarlet-Bearded Fire Dragons you collected... don't tell me it was for—"

Poseidon stared at Dan Heng, utterly stunned.

He had just figured out what Dan Heng was up to.

"..." Dan Heng rubbed his temples. As expected, he couldn't keep it hidden for long.

He nodded. "Give me back the book."

Poseidon obediently returned the book to him.

But the shocked expression on his face wouldn't go away.

This was simply too outrageous!

If the Silver Dragon King had a child with Dan Heng...

What kind of terrifying strength would a being with both of their bloodlines possess?

And if that child one day split a mountain to rescue their—uncle? The God Realm would fall into even more chaos!

Poseidon could already envision the scene of Dan Heng and his family of three wreaking havoc in the God Realm.

Instantly, all the joy he'd gotten from bullying Prince Xue Xing vanished into thin air.

Dan Heng gave Poseidon a curious look. "What's with you?"

"I... I'm exhausted!" Poseidon clutched his chest and let out a heavy sigh.

This concerned the survival of the entire God Realm—and only he knew how dangerous things had become!

Poseidon truly bore too much for the God Realm!

Dan Heng just let out a faint "Oh." He was used to this guy randomly acting deranged and didn't take it to heart.

Poseidon almost burst a vein in frustration.

"Dan Heng! You don't care about me at all?!"

Dan Heng looked at him again, confused. Care about him?

"I helped you deal with that idiot Prince Xue Xing! If it weren't for me, he'd be pestering you constantly. And if you clashed with him directly, who knows what reckless thing he might've done?"

"Don't you have anything to say about that?"

Poseidon asked resentfully.

Dan Heng shrugged, clearly indifferent.

Poseidon gritted his teeth, just about to say something more—

When footsteps sounded again at the door.

Dan Heng looked up and saw two well-dressed men approaching quickly.

He immediately recognized them. He'd seen them in the forest—they were from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Behind them trailed a red-haired girl stealthily, like a sneaky thief.

It was Huo Wu.

Poseidon's face darkened, but then his eyes twinkled, and he chuckled:

"Dan Heng, let's see how you handle this mess without me saying a word."

With that, he stepped aside, washing his hands of the matter.

The two soul masters from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stepped forward. freēwēbnovel.com

"You're Dan Heng, right?"

Their tone was polite—not arrogant or condescending.

Which made sense. Aside from Liu Erlong's esteem for Dan Heng within the clan, anyone who could control a tamed soul beast was not someone to be underestimated!

Dan Heng responded with a calm "Yes. What is it?"

"You probably know who we are, so we won't waste your time. Dean Liu is the hope of our clan. She must not suffer any accidents...""So we hope you'll be willing to stop that soul beast from following her. For that, we're prepared to offer ten thousand gold soul coins as compensation—along with the friendship of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Let's consider it a gesture of goodwill."

Their words were polite and respectful.

This attitude already showed great regard for Dan Heng.

Poseidon, observing, sighed. He'd expected a classic case of "arrogance toward the weak." But this was it?

Shouldn't they have pointed fingers and shouted by now?

At the same time, he sensed someone else shared his disappointment—

It was Huo Wu...

She looked at the two men with a resentful gaze. She'd expected them to "bully" Dan Heng so that she could step forward and express her loyalty.

But they were way too tame!

She instinctively looked toward Poseidon. The god and the girl shared a look of mutual sympathy—kindred spirits in mischief.

Suddenly, they seemed to reach a silent understanding and nodded ever so slightly.

"You Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon people are surprisingly stingy. Ten thousand gold soul coins—are you trying to insult him?"

Huo Wu said, deliberately provoking.

The two men exchanged awkward looks.

Ten thousand was already a lot! It's not like they were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, rolling in gold!

Poseidon added, "And your so-called friendship—what's that worth, really? If it were me, I wouldn't agree either. What do you think, Mr. Dan Heng?"

The two men flushed with embarrassment and quickly argued:

"If ten thousand... if that's not enough, we can offer fifteen thousand! As long as you make that soul beast stay away from Dean Liu!"

"We soul masters don't value money that highly anyway!"

Huo Wu sneered, "Clearly, you have no idea how rich Mr. Dan Heng really is. With your kind of offer..."

Dan Heng frowned slightly and glanced at Huo Wu.

Why was this girl also stirring up trouble now?

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Dan Heng's displeasure, Huo Wu quickly dropped her playful tone and stopped stoking the fire.

She faced Dan Heng with a serious expression and said:

"Mr. Dan Heng, I want to take you as my master. But I know you already have Zhuqing as your disciple, and you may not accept me. So... I thought, since you don't have a child yet—if you don't mind, I'd be willing to be your daughter and take care of you in your old age!"

As she spoke, Huo Wu knelt down without waiting for permission—and kowtowed three times on the spot.

"???"

Everyone present was stunned.

Including Dan Heng and Poseidon.

This girl... was way too direct.

Just like that—she forcibly declared herself his daughter?

Poseidon burst into uncontrollable laughter, unable to straighten up. He patted Dan Heng on the shoulder.

"Dan Heng, she's not bad! This girl's sharp and sincere—totally fit to take care of you in your old age! With such filial devotion, aren't you going to call her a good daughter?"

"..."

Dan Heng rubbed his temples. What was even happening right now?!

"Huo Wu, get up first..."

Huo Wu immediately bounced to her feet. "Alright, Daddy! I'll listen to you!"

"..."

Even Dan Heng's usual calm expression cracked a little.

Poseidon, watching Dan Heng's face, covered his mouth and giggled.

The two men from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, now ignored, looked at each other, then at Dan Heng and Huo Wu. Finally, one of them said:

"Mr. Dan Heng, so you two are father and daughter... no wonder. But we won't back down. If we can't achieve our goal, we may be forced to take more drastic measures. Things could get ugly then."

With that parting threat, they turned and left.

Dan Heng cast a faint glance at Poseidon.

Poseidon was still laughing—tears of joy nearly spilling from his eyes.

"I... I'll just go take a walk... You two father and daughter have a nice chat..."
