Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were both quite uneasy.
They had carried out Bibi Dong's orders to stir up trouble for Qian Daoliu, but ended up failing completely...
If it had been in the past, they would definitely have been punished.
To them, Bibi Dong was like a she-devil—she never cared about their dignity at all!
They loitered at the entrance for a long ti before finally stepping into the main hall.
After waiting a mont, Bibi Dong suddenly appeared on the throne atop the high platform.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Bibi Dong snorted coldly and demanded,"Looking like that—your mission failed, didn't it?!"
"...Yes..."Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo answered honestly.
Their hearts tightened at the sa ti. With Bibi Dong in this mood, she probably wasn't going to be reasonable today.
"Give a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, your fate..."
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes at the two in her eyes—utter useless trash—and exuded a fierce pressure.
Ghost Douluo mustered his courage and began,"It's because of the Grand Worshipper. He stayed behind and discovered us. After that, he drove us off... and even showed killing intent..."
Bibi Dong imdiately sneered,"Useless! Couldn't you just act after he left? Can't you even think through sothing that simple? Then what use are you to ?!"
She abruptly stood up, her soul power bursting out.
Even the lights began to flicker, and the entire hall's temperature started to drop.
Ghost Douluo turned pale, stamring without knowing how to explain.
Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled. Though his body was resistant to cold and heat, he still couldn't help but shiver.
A wave of panic erupted from deep within. He blurted out incoherently:"It's... it's because Mr. Dan Heng was nearby... we didn't dare... afraid of hurting him..."
At the ntion of Dan Heng's na, Bibi Dong abruptly withdrew her aura.
Both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt a wave of relief, like surviving a great disaster.
"Useless fools! I'll spare you this ti. But if you're this incompetent again, you can forget about living!"
With a cold snort, Bibi Dong's figure flashed—and she vanished.
"..."
Though her words were harsh, she hadn't actually punished them at all.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, still not quite understanding what had just happened.
...That's it?
Ghost Douluo said in surprise,"This is... why? Did we really get through this crisis unhard? But her mood was clearly terrible..."
He couldn't figure it out and frowned deeply.
Chrysanthemum Douluo smacked him on the head,"Isn't it enough that we're fine? Don't overthink it!"
"No, wait, Old Chrysanthemum, what exactly did you say just now? I was too nervous, I didn't catch it," Ghost Douluo asked curiously.
He felt that their escape probably had everything to do with Chrysanthemum Douluo's explanation.
Chrysanthemum Douluo paused,"...? What did I say again?"
"Exactly, what was it? As soon as you said it, Her Holiness stopped being angry. That must've been the key!"
Ghost Douluo was sharp.
Chrysanthemum Douluo scratched his head, on the verge of tears,"I... I forgot? Can't rember at all! What was it..."
The Next Day.
Dan Heng also took a half-day leave and went to the Sunset Forest.
The red-bearded fire dragons that Poseidon had captured—he needed to return them!
He couldn't just keep them all in the mountain.
His speed was extrely fast. Entering the Sea God's secret realm, he could make several trips to return the dragons to their original habitat.
He turned into a streak of green light, slicing through the sky, with thunder-like sonic booms echoing: "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
People and soul beasts below were dumbfounded.It was a sunny day—so where was this thunder coming from?
Dan Heng's repeated movents soon drew soone's attention.
A breathtaking figure in a silver-red dress appeared in the Sunset Forest.
It was none other than the High Priestess of Seagod Island—Bo Saixi.
She had sensed divine energy from the Sea God and followed the aura to this place.
Looking up at the green "lightning" constantly flashing across the sky, she muttered,"Every ti Lord Sea God's divine aura appears, that lightning shows up too... there must be so connection!"
"But I still can't see where it's coming from..."
Thinking for a mont, Bo Saixi gripped her staff and gracefully ascended into the air.
Dan Heng was so fast that she couldn't even see his figure—by the ti she heard a sound, he was already thousands of miles away.
Flying upward, Bo Saixi released her soul power to create a protective shield against the cold and fierce winds, reaching a dense, white atmospheric layer.
Just as she broke through the clouds—Before she could even react, a streak of green light shot toward her.
It was so fast she had no ti to dodge—and it slamd into her!
Though the green light deliberately avoided her directly, the force it carried was far beyond what any soul master could withstand.
Just a glancing hit shattered Bo Saixi's soul power shield instantly.
She was knocked down like a teor, plumting from the sky.
Her consciousness rapidly faded.
Even though she was one of the three strongest on the continent, facing that residual force, she was powerless!
Bo Saixi felt like she was burning—her internal organs were all writhing in pain.
She tried to open her eyes and recover her soul power.
Otherwise, she'd surely die from the fall!
But—it was useless!
Right now, she couldn't summon a shred of soul power. Her bones and muscles felt crushed to pieces.
She was a literal fireball, falling like a teor.
Suddenly.
A green light flashed back.
Dan Heng returned, grabbing a red-bearded fire dragon in one hand, and Bo Saixi's shoulder in the other.
Bo Saixi glanced at him—upon seeing the "culprit," she relaxed and practically "died" in peace.
"..." Dan Heng looked embarrassed.Now he'd really caused trouble!
Flying that fast in the atmosphere—only a handful of people on the continent had such power, Bo Saixi included.
So he hadn't expected anyone to just pop up—and get hit by him.
Dan Heng blew out a breath. The force of the wind ignited the flas covering Bo Saixi's body.
A perfectly fine woman—now completely naked—but without a trace of allure.
So of her skin and hair had been scorched.
That's the downside of being a soul master—without soul power, the body is still just mortal flesh.
As they descended, Dan Heng could even sll roasted at... a strong aroma of cooked flesh—it showed just how badly Bo Saixi was burned.
Once they landed, he tossed the fire dragon aside.
The dragon, still under the influence of divine power, obediently stood nearby, watching Dan Heng handle the "barbecue."
Bo Saixi's skin was red all over, with much of her hair burned away—though oddly, her eyebrows were intact.
Holding her in one arm, Dan Heng used his other hand to emit a gentle green glow.
The light bathed her, healing her injuries.
The process was undeniably awkward.
But with injuries this severe, Dan Heng had to rely on his imnse life force to restore her.
Though it might cause "nutrient overload," it would at least ensure her recovery—and bring other benefits too.
Monts later, Bo Saixi's wounds were fully healed.
Her skin turned rosy, radiant with health.
Dan Heng, without lingering, pulled out a white coat to cover her—only her fair collarbone and smooth legs remained visible.
Once he confird there were no soul beasts nearby, he gently laid Bo Saixi on a tree.
The next mont, he soared back into the sky to continue returning the fire dragons.
Each ti he passed overhead, he carefully checked Bo Saixi's position.
And finally, on his last return trip—Bo Saixi woke up.
Before opening her eyes, she first touched her head.
She'd been knocked completely senseless.
Groggily, she sat up and looked around.
She vaguely rembered that, just before everything went dark, a man caught her in the sky.
But she couldn't recall what he looked like at all.
"...What on earth happened?"
Bo Saixi muttered.
Just then, the coat on her slipped slightly, revealing a large patch of snowy white... stopping just above her chest.
That's when she finally noticed the changes to her body.
"Th-this..."
Bo Saixi's mind buzzed with a sharp ringing.
Almost instinctively, she probed inward.
Thankfully, what she had imagined hadn't happened.
She quickly pulled out a set of clothes from her storage soul device and hurriedly changed.
Clutching the coat Dan Heng had left behind, a dazed look crossed her face.
"Who exactly was that?"
Bo Saixi looked up at the sky, filled with intense curiosity.
That person was definitely connected to the Sea God, but in the end, she hadn't seen them clearly. She could only be certain it wasn't the Sea God himself, but there was so unknown connection.
Bo Saixi narrowed her eyes. She waited the entire morning, but that streak of green lightning never appeared again. So, she soared into the air.
With one leap, she burst through the canopy above her head.
She rose forty to fifty ters into the sky.
A look of astonishnt appeared on her face.
Her power had actually exceeded her own control?!
She had reached Rank 99 Title Douluo decades ago — the peak, with no further advancent possible.
So why had her strength suddenly increased again?
If she just took ti to familiarize herself with this power, she could definitely beco the strongest mortal on the entire Douluo Continent!
"Could this... be the trace that person left behind for ?"
Bo Saixi muttered to herself.
Now that her body was gradually stabilizing, she realized just how powerful the force hidden within her was!
"No, that must have been a god! Only a god could achieve such a feat!" Bo Saixi speculated, a hint of unwillingness in her heart.
She at least wanted... to see that person again?
anwhile, Dan Heng returned to the library in the afternoon — only to be accosted by the Sea Witch.
She cheerfully ran over and stood beside the service desk, her round cheeks glowing with excitent.
"Wow, big brother is amazing! You can read so many books!"
When a student ca by to ask Dan Heng about the location of a book—
The Sea Witch's eyes sparkled again. "Wow! Big brother even knows where all the books are! So impressive!"
"..."
Dan Heng felt a headache coming on.
This girl was a hundred tis more troubleso than Zi Ji!
Now whenever he heard her familiar soft little voice say "Wow," his skin tensed up automatically.
Was this girl actually Blade in disguise?
Did she co here just to tornt him?
Dan Heng sighed and said, "Sea Witch, don't you need to go train your students?"
The Sea Witch giggled and replied:
"Big brother, Teacher Gu is super aweso and already made a training plan for them. In the afternoon, they just need soone to supervise. I already gave them combat practice this morning."
"..." Dan Heng's lips twitched. So she really intended to spend the whole afternoon here bothering him?
"I like peace and quiet..."
Dan Heng said bluntly.
The Sea Witch imdiately covered her little mouth and nodded vigorously, indicating that she wouldn't speak another word.
She looked adorably like a goldfish trying to hold in her bubbles.
Any ordinary man's heart would lt at the sight.
But Dan Heng was not sentintal. He said, "I want to be alone. Can you leave for a while?"
The Sea Witch's shoulders trembled.
Large teardrops welled up and stread down her face, and she looked at Dan Heng pitifully.
As if he had just committed so unforgivable cri.
"..."
Dan Heng pinched the bridge of his nose. This definitely had to be Blade in disguise!
He pretended not to see and kept reading.
But after a while, he sneaked a glance — the Sea Witch was still crying, and her tears had only beco more intense.
"Stop, it's my fault. Don't cry anymore."
Dan Heng finally gave in, helplessly.
The Sea Witch imdiately stopped crying and wiped her eyes, and the tears vanished in an instant.
Dan Heng took a deep breath. If not for her still-reddened eyes, he would've thought she had been faking the whole thing!
This girl was way too dramatic!
The Sea Witch smiled through her tears. "I knew big brother couldn't bear to see cry!"
"..."
Dan Heng was speechless. After a mont of silence, he said, "Even if you stay near , you won't find your Sea God..."
"No! I will! I believe in big brother!"
The Sea Witch said firmly.
Her expression was resolute, full of unwavering belief — like soone who had already read the script.
She continued, "When the ti cos, I'll beg the Sea God to grant big brother divine favor too!"
"That won't be necessary..."
Dan Heng was already considering whether to kidnap Poseidon and give him to her.
Just then—
A figure rushed over in a hurry.
It was Seahorse Douluo, whom they had briefly t yesterday.
"Sea Witch! I finally found you! Co quickly — the High Priestess is injured!" Seahorse Douluo said urgently.
The Sea Witch's expression changed drastically. "How could this happen? We—we need to go back quickly!"
In her rush, she didn't even say goodbye to Dan Heng and hurried away.
Once she was gone, Dan Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, so peace!
Just as he was about to return to reading, a familiar presence appeared once again.
This ti, Dan Heng couldn't help but feel pleased.
Because the visitor... was the Sea God, Poseidon!
Poseidon walked over and waved his hand, revealing several seemingly "ordinary" leaves.
"Dan Heng, how are you going to thank ..."
Poseidon grinned, showing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth.
But before he finished speaking, the leaves suddenly flew from his hand and landed in front of Dan Heng.
Dan Heng picked them up and sensed the pure vitality within.
This was undoubtedly the gentlest life force in the Douluo Divine Realm!
With these, Dan Heng now had a chance to rge his bloodline with Gu Yuena's!
"Ti to prepare..."
Dan Heng smiled slightly and put the leaves away.
"Dan Heng, don't forget my reward!" Poseidon reminded him.
"You'll get it..."(End of Chapter)
