Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 264: The Mystery Left by the Sea God

Inside the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue had been summoned here by Bibi Dong, her expression impatient.

She had been joyfully waiting at home for Mr. Dan Heng to come help her.

After all, he was a favor owed by Poseidon—surely Mr. Dan Heng would cooperate, right?

The key the Angel God ancestor had left her was precisely... related to Mr. Dan Heng.

And that was something she had fantasized about in countless dreams.

It was about to come true. She had even been wondering which outfit might dazzle Mr. Dan Heng when—she got summoned by Bibi Dong!

How could she possibly be in a good mood?

"What exactly did you call me here for?" Qian Renxue crossed her arms and looked coldly at Bibi Dong sitting on the throne.

This woman had always been so proud and distant—like an icy god.

As a young girl, Qian Renxue once naively yearned for motherly love.

Now, she had long given up on that fantasy.

She figured this summons was probably to give her another impossible task.

She was already prepared to tear off the mask of civility, finish quickly, and rush back to the crown prince's residence to wait for Mr. Dan Heng.

"Xue'er, all these years... I've wronged you..."

A quiet sigh echoed from above.

"???"Qian Renxue froze, staring in shock at Bibi Dong on the high platform.

This was the first time she had ever heard Bibi Dong speak so gently to her!

A soft part of her heart stirred, and it was hard to keep up her defenses.

Then—Bibi Dong's figure flashed.

She suddenly appeared in front of Qian Renxue.

Gently caressing her cheek, Bibi Dong's eyes were full of tender affection. Her red lips parted softly:

"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much. I've truly been a terrible mother..."

"!!!"

Qian Renxue looked at her in stunned disbelief, instinctively taking a few steps back.

She couldn't believe this Bibi Dong was real.

"You... What are you doing? Why... why are you treating me like this?" Qian Renxue stammered, completely overwhelmed. She had longed for motherly love so much!

Bibi Dong looked only at Qian Renxue, her face showing guilt. She shook her head gently:

"Xue'er, I've realized my mistakes. Fortunately... it's not too late yet."

"Can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

She looked at Qian Renxue sincerely.

Qian Renxue bit her lip and eyed Bibi Dong warily.

Her heart had already been moved—but reason still warned her to be cautious. Bibi Dong had hurt her too deeply before!

"You... You..."

Qian Renxue took another step back, trying to keep her distance.

She just couldn't handle this situation!

Bibi Dong continued:"Xue'er, I know you're at the critical moment of awakening the Angel God's bloodline. Maybe I can help."

"No need! Mr. Dan Heng is willing to..."

Qian Renxue blurted out, then quickly stopped herself.

She was panicking too much right now!

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up—it was like the heavens were aiding her!

"Mr. Dan Heng? He can help you too? That's wonderful! Xue'er, please let me make it up to you. I can act as your guardian here during the process."

Qian Renxue grew even more cautious. "You're not planning something bad, are you?"

Bibi Dong immediately raised her hand and swore,"If I have even the slightest harmful intent toward Xue'er, may my path to godhood be severed! Actually, Xue'er, you know I've inherited the Rakshasa God's legacy..."

Bibi Dong spoke candidly, even disclosing the progress of her divine inheritance trial—sincerity shining through.

To swear on one's path to godhood—clearly, she meant it.

A warm current flowed through Qian Renxue's heart, and her eyes turned moist.

She truly wished she could get along with Bibi Dong and experience the full love of a mother-daughter relationship.

"Then... okay..."

Elsewhere, Dan Heng and Gu Yuena arrived at Lanba Academy.

Though Gu Yuena had considered focusing on nurturing her pregnancy, after learning it would take three to five years for the child to be born, she became restless.

Entering the academy with Dan Heng, she spoke warmly:

"Husband, do you think the Lanba Battle Team I trained can win this year's Soul Master Tournament?"

Dan Heng nodded. "Of course."

Obviously. With Zhu Zhuqing as backup, she'd likely become a Soul Emperor within two years.

Even if they brought a bunch of elderly or sickly folks, they'd probably still win!

Gu Yuena pouted and circled in front of Dan Heng. Her big, watery eyes looked up at him as she said softly:

"Husband, let's make a bet! You say they won't win!"

"..."

Dan Heng smiled helplessly. Gu Yuena was being shameless again?

She was obviously setting him up to lose!

"Alright."

Only then did Gu Yuena beam with delight. She tiptoed to give him a kiss, a fragrant breeze trailing after her, as she chirped:

"Then it's settled! When I win, you have to promise me something!"

Dan Heng nodded in response.

At that moment, the two arrived at the training ground. Just about to part ways—

Dan Heng noticed many people already there, including the one who always gave him headaches: the Sea Witch.

They were gathered in a group, talking about something.

The Sea Witch spotted Dan Heng and ran over.

Dan Heng considered for a moment, then stayed.

"Good morning, big brother!" The Sea Witch ran up, but when she saw Gu Yuena standing beside Dan Heng, she froze.

The other students saw Gu Yuena too. Excited, they all ran over.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow and studied the Sea Witch.

"Big brother? And you are...?"

The Sea Witch blinked, then smiled cheerfully:"Pretty sister, you're the prettiest woman I've ever seen! My name's Sea Witch..."

Though she was smiling, her heart dimmed.

She'd never seriously thought about it, but deep down, instincts stirred. The dream had ended.

So big brother had such a beautiful wife...

"Hello, Sea Witch. I'm Dan Heng's wife," Gu Yuena replied, then gave Dan Heng a meaningful glance.

Dan Heng stood upright, his conscience clear.

"Teacher Gu, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"

"Teacher Gu, training without you just felt wrong! Now that you and Teacher Sea Witch are both here, we're sure to become the number one Soul Master Team!"

"Teacher Gu, Mr. Dan Heng, look at this riddle Teacher Sea Witch gave us—it's so hard to guess!"

"..."

The students all chattered on excitedly.

Happy about Gu Yuena's return—and perplexed by the Sea Witch's riddle.

The Sea Witch rubbed her cheeks, seizing the chance to change the subject: freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Big brother, sis—sister-in-law, our Sea... gave us a riddle. If we solve it, we're to go find a certain person... But we've been guessing forever and still don't know the answer!"

"What's the riddle?" Gu Yuena asked.

"A heart of purest red holds sun and moon;

An ancient thought becomes an endless tide."

The Sea Witch recited the riddle clearly and solemnly.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, thinking hard.

All the students watched her with hopeful eyes, praying she'd figure it out.

Dan Heng's face darkened slightly.

He didn't even need to guess—he already knew that unreliable Poseidon was definitely scheming against him again!
