Bang...!!
At the entrance of the grand hall, the two guardians, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, trembled when they heard the noises coming from inside.
So brutal!!!
What on earth did Yu Xiaogang do to make the Pope so furious?
At this mont, they absolutely could not enter! Otherwise, it would surely be bad news for them!
Just then, a voice ca from inside.
"Bring Hu Lianna here!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo responded quickly.
The two of them exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they weren't being called in!
...
Soon, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo brought Hu Lianna over and stopped at the door, whispering:
"Na Na, the Pope is extrely angry right now, so be careful and don't provoke her. Try to say so pleasant things, understand?"
Hu Lianna smiled and shook her head.
"Alright, Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, my teacher isn't a monster, how could she do anything to ?"
After saying that, Hu Lianna casually pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered, the two guardians closed the door behind her.
Bang...!
Hu Lianna looked back and couldn't help but smile.
She thought to herself: "Grandpa Chrysanthemum and Grandpa Ghost are really too much. My teacher is a great beauty, how can they be so afraid of her?!"
Bibi Dong suddenly flashed down from the high platform and circled Hu Lianna several tis.
She looked at her closely, inspecting her from all angles.
Hu Lianna couldn't help but feel shy as she was scrutinized like this.
"Teacher, what are you doing?" Hu Lianna asked.
Bibi Dong ca to her senses and her gaze turned complex.
She couldn't understand why this little girl, Hu Lianna, was able to captivate Yu Xiaogang so much.
"Na Na, where did you co from?" Bibi Dong asked.
Hu Lianna replied, "From Blue Tyrant Academy, just now Master was giving so theory lessons. It was so boring, his teaching is so rigid."
Bibi Dong frowned. She understood imdiately—it must be that Hu Lianna had been seducing Yu Xiaogang, which led him to misunderstand things.
"Na Na, why didn't you go to Dan Heng? What about your task..."
Hu Lianna sighed, then looked at Bibi Dong with a sad expression.
"Teacher, why wouldn't I go? But that Mr. Dan Heng doesn't care about my allure at all. I even used my charm, but he still has no ill thoughts toward . He's practically a saint!"
Hu Lianna shook her head slightly, becoming increasingly frustrated as she thought about it.
Bibi Dong's face sank, not wanting to hear such an answer.
"Na Na! You... you shouldn't be trying to charm Yu Xiaogang!" Bibi Dong scolded.
Hu Lianna was puzzled. "Charm Yu Xiaogang? I didn't! I never used any charms on that reserved guy, why would I do that?"
Bibi Dong was speechless and frustrated, feeling a surge of anger within her.
She had worked hard to romanticize him before eting him, only to have her illusions shattered when they finally t.
The dead "white moonlight" was indeed the most beautiful!
Hu Lianna continued, "Teacher, I think it's better if I just stop trying. I understand n very well, and I know that Mr. Dan Heng is not soone who can be seduced. If I continue, I'll probably fall in love with him instead..."
Hu Lianna whispered towards the end, her face turning slightly red.
Bibi Dong's mouth twitched. Wasn't this a case of losing both her man and her pride?
"You are my disciple! You should not be concerned with such feelings!" Bibi Dong scolded angrily.
Hu Lianna approached and hugged Bibi Dong's arm, looking pitiful. "But there's one more thing. It's about Yu Xiaogang. I've noticed he's started acting openly flirtatious, deliberately trying to get close to and even hinted that he's single."
"When I just went along with the conversation, he couldn't help but glance at , as though he wanted to devour . His gaze was disgusting, Teacher. I feel like he's the type who likes won who seem easy to control. Maybe he has so psychological issues."
The more Hu Lianna spoke, the angrier she beca, almost wanting to slap Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong's face turned even paler as she listened, feeling dizzy. Was this the sa Yu Xiaogang she rembered? The one who couldn't even hold hands with her back then?
Was he ignoring her simply because she was too difficult to handle?
"No... It's not like that! Rakshasa God, quickly seal this mory from !" Bibi Dong shouted in her mind, not wanting to face this truth.
Rakshasa God remained silent.
Hu Lianna puffed her cheeks and continued complaining. "And I think Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge isn't that impressive. I heard that he personally went into the arena and got beaten by the Blue Tyrant Battle Team."
"His basic knowledge of education is fine, but when it cos to more specialized subjects, it's all child's play, so naive..."
Hu Lianna kept babbling on, while Bibi Dong suddenly shouted, "Enough! Be quiet!"
Hu Lianna imdiately stopped and looked at Bibi Dong, puzzled.
"Teacher, what's wrong with ?" Hu Lianna looked at her with innocent eyes.
Bibi Dong's face changed slightly. She knew she had lost control of her emotions.
"It's nothing. Alright, Na Na, stop talking now. You can leave," Bibi Dong said, patting Hu Lianna's shoulder to send her off.
Hu Lianna was confused, but she left, glancing back as she walked away.
Bibi Dong's figure flashed and returned to the high platform, sitting on the throne.
Her eyes were hollow as Hu Lianna's words echoed in her ears, shattering her beautiful fantasies about Yu Xiaogang.
This was the denial of her youth, her persistence.
"If you don't change now, the more you approach the truth, the harder it will be for you to cultivate. Perhaps the talent that could have made you a god will be completely stopped."
Rakshasa God's figure appeared before Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong looked coldly at her, gritting her teeth. "Then why don't you seal my mories!"
Rakshasa God shook her head. "Self-deception is pointless."
"If I were you, I would sever my emotional ties now, confront the fear of the past, and no longer rely on Yu Xiaogang as a ntal crutch."
Rakshasa God said earnestly.
She truly valued Bibi Dong, seeing her as her successor.
Bibi Dong chuckled bitterly, her expression suddenly filled with sorrow and helplessness, like a fragile beauty.
"It's easy for you to say, but how could I let go? You don't understand..."
Rakshasa God sneered. "You are blinded by a single leaf."
"If you were ruthless enough, you would return to that secret room now, pick a few n, and vent your frustrations on them. Your past trauma would be fully healed. This is the most direct way, and your salvation."
Rakshasa God laughed, her gaze tinged with mockery.
Bibi Dong's obsession with love was her biggest dilemma.
What if she had been forcefully taken by her teacher and had a daughter? Why should she care about that?
If it were Rakshasa God, she wouldn't care about such things. A woman destined to beco a god, how could she let such things destroy her?
Bibi Dong was stunned for a mont, then her face turned red with anger. She trembled, her body shaking with fury.
She couldn't believe Rakshasa God would say such things!
...
The next day, the duel between the Blue Wind Battle Team and the Tian Shui Battle Team finally began.
Dan Heng was once again invited to watch the battle.
This ti, the number of spectators was much higher than usual, all coming to see the Tian Shui Battle Team.
Liu Erlong even made a good sum of money from this.
To return the favor, they didn't send Zhu Zhuqing to fight.
But after this period of intense battles, even without Zhu Zhuqing, the Blue Tyrant Battle Team was able to hold their own for so ti against the Tian Shui Battle Team.
Both teams' battles lasted more than a quarter of an hour.
The Tian Shui Battle Team used ice to freeze the entire ground, greatly hindering the Blue Tyrant Battle Team's fighting ability.
Moreover, the Tian Shui Battle Team had the advantage of long-range attacks.
Still, the Blue Wind Battle Team showed impressive resilience.
After a hard-fought battle, though they lost, they had managed to eliminate three mbers of the Tian Shui Battle Team, including their vice-captain, Xue Wu!
This showed the strength of the Blue Tyrant Battle Team!
Of course, the Tian Shui Battle Team didn't use their martial soul fusion technique, so they didn't show their full strength.
But this duel left the audience cheering in excitent, feeling it was worth the ticket price.
Dan Heng and Gu Yue Na were watching from a private box.
Unlike before, Dan Heng wouldn't have co if it wasn't for the private box.
Gu Yue Na pouted, sulking a little.
She had wanted to bet again for another night's fun, but Dan Heng refused to bet.
"The Blue Tyrant Battle Team is improving quickly. Your connections have been effective," Dan Heng remarked, complinting her.
Gu Yue Na nodded, saying, "If Zhuqing doesn't participate, the Blue Tyrant Battle Team would probably be ranked in the top ten of the academies in the Tiandou Empire."
"But if Zhuqing does participate, they could definitely compete for first place!"
Gu Yue Na's eyes were filled with strong confidence.
Dan Heng smiled slightly and gently wrapped his arm around Gu Yue Na's waist.
Gu Yue Na stiffened slightly. Normally, she would initiate this kind of intimacy, but now Dan Heng was taking the initiative?
In an instant, her gaze softened, and she beca a little dreamy.
"Zhuqing, you go out..."
In the private box, aside from this couple, only Zhu Zhuqing was there.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent and was about to leave.
"Don't go," Dan Heng imdiately said.
He had only hugged her, but looking at Gu Yue Na's reaction, it seed he wanted to extend it further?
Zhu Zhuqing paused for a mont, but still did not listen to Dan Heng's request and continued to open the door.
Gu Yue Na smiled triumphantly, "Zhuqing belongs to !"
At this mont, several figures appeared outside the door.
They were all blue-haired beauties.
It was the Tian Shui Battle Team.
Gu Yue Na's face imdiately changed. She was upset.
Just when she was getting emotionally stirred, they interrupted.
Naturally, she wasn't happy.
The won from the Tian Shui Battle Team, such as Shui Bing'er, all sensed a cold atmosphere.
Though they were all high-level water elent martial souls, they could now sense a chilling aura. This was strange!
Shui Bing'er slightly nodded and said, "Sorry to disturb, Teacher Gu, Mr. Dan Heng, we are from the Tian Shui Battle Team, and we ca to discuss facial masks with Mr. Dan Heng..."
"What masks?" Gu Yue Na beca curious.
Dan Heng whispered the details in Gu Yue Na's ear.
Her eyes lit up with a smile.
She lightly punched Dan Heng's chest.
"Bad husband, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Dan Heng replied seriously, "I've been researching a more convenient form, not just mask mud, but a pre-ford mask."
Gu Yue Na stopped being angry and cald down.
When Shui Bing'er and the others entered, they imdiately felt the temperature returning to normal.
"It's like this," Shui Bing'er began. "We saw great results with it from Yue'er."
"So we wanted to ask Mr. Dan Heng if he's willing to sell a few masks, or perhaps collaborate with us. Our Tian Shui Academy can promote it and distribute it across the entire Douluo Continent."
"I believe this could be a very lucrative business."
Shui Bing'er smiled warmly.
Dan Heng frowned slightly, not wanting to bother with it.
Gu Yue Na, however, smiled and said, "Let's hear it—how do you plan to divide the profits?"
"Fifty-fifty split of the net profit. Mr. Dan Heng only needs to provide the formula. If there's follow-up R&D, we'll proceed accordingly."
Shui Bing'er spoke sincerely.
"You wish! My husband's facial mask—anyone selling it can make a fortune. Fifty percent of net profit? No way. It has to be fifty percent of the total sales revenue!"
Gu Yue Na sneered coldly and stated firmly.
"Uh..." Shui Bing'er hesitated.
If it were fifty percent of the net profit, they could manipulate the numbers by hiring more staff or opening more stores, thus reducing the net profit and maximizing their own benefits.
But if it was fifty percent of the total sales revenue, they wouldn't have any room to maneuver.
It would basically be like working for Dan Heng.
"Oh co on! Since Teacher Gu has spoken, just agree already!" Shui Yue'er huffed, urging her.
Shui Bing'er glared at her younger sister, still hesitating.
"Decide now—quickly. Otherwise, we're not limited to working with just your company."
Gu Yue Na pressed.
"...Alright," Shui Bing'er finally nodded in agreent.
Just as Gu Yue Na had said, they weren't irreplaceable.
Dan Heng could partner with any power and instantly start raking in money!
anwhile, after watching the spar between the Lanba Battle Team and the Tianshui Battle Team, Flender sought out Liu Erlong.
He started by praising the performance of the Lanba Team.
He was genuinely impressed.
The Lanba Team's current strength was truly eye-opening.
With a bit of luck, they could even make it into the top eight of the entire Douluo Continent Tournant!
Flender rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Erlong, since your Lanba Team is already full, and even without that Zhu Zhuqing you're still doing great, why not just give Zhu Zhuqing to us—the Shrek Team? We happen to be one person short!"
The smile on Liu Erlong's face instantly vanished. She glared fiercely at Flender.
"Flender! You're just as shaless as ever!"
"Zhu Zhuqing is the anchor of our Lanba Team—how could we possibly give her to you? No way! Besides, Zhu Zhuqing is Teacher Gu's disciple. It's not even up to . If Shrek is short on people, you can pick soone from our Lanba Team's reserve mbers."
Liu Erlong said with clear annoyance.
"Erlong..." Flender laughed awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to admit that he hadn't been impressed by even the main team mbers, let alone the reserves.
"Or hey, why don't you just dress up Yu Xiaogang and have him join the tournant instead? At least that way he'd stop being constantly bewitched by that little fox demon."
Liu Erlong snorted coldly, her tone full of sour jealousy.
Yu Xiaogang being utterly enchanted by Hu Liena hadn't escaped Liu Erlong's notice.
She was growing increasingly disappointed in Yu Xiaogang.
