Dan Heng's striking appearance made him the center of attention wherever he went.
Gu Yuena inquired along the way and quickly learned of his whereabouts.
Upon arriving at the red-light district, she stopped at the street entrance. By now, Dan Heng was nowhere to be seen.
However, in front of the most luxurious establishnt, a large group of scantily clad won had gathered. Their bare thighs and shoulders were exposed, radiating an atmosphere of sheer lust.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuena's heart sank.
She imdiately guessed that her husband must be inside.
Her delicate fists clenched tightly, her pearly teeth bit down hard, and her eyes reddened.
Although their marriage was nominal, she had long since regarded Dan Heng as her husband.
Even though she knew Dan Heng would never willingly degrade himself by consorting with a bunch of vulgar won, she still felt incredibly stifled.
She was the ruler of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, possessing unparalleled wisdom—yet at this mont, she couldn't help but feel like crying.
After pausing for a few seconds, she stepped toward the entrance of that grand establishnt, still holding the food box in her hands.
A bone-chilling aura emanated from her body. Even though she was suppressing it as much as possible, the surrounding air still grew frigid, as if winter itself had descended.
The won in the front instinctively shivered, so even sneezing.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly so cold?"
"I don't know, but it's not enough to stop from admiring that handso guy!"
"That's right! Everyone, stay close together! When he cos out, we'll follow him inside!"
Hearing these won gossip so brazenly, Gu Yuena's expression darkened.
These won were all coveting her husband!
As his wife, how could she possibly tolerate this?
The air grew even colder, prompting the won to turn around and look for the source of the chill.
They saw a silver-haired beauty standing there, her long hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her fair skin and slightly reddened eyes made her appear fragile and pitiful.
Yet, the aura she exuded was terrifying beyond words.
A single thought arose in all their minds—whatever happens, don't provoke this woman!
Many of them had witnessed scorned wives searching for their wayward husbands in these places, often leading to violent brawls with the prostitutes.
And right now, Gu Yuena seed just like that—a furious wife.
Perhaps... no, without a doubt, this stunning woman was that handso man's wife!
"Scram!" Gu Yuena's icy voice rang out.
"..."
The won scattered in an instant, too afraid to utter another word, frantically retreating to their respective establishnts.
Just as Gu Yuena was about to step into the building, a voice suddenly called out from behind.
"Hey! Your Ex—uh, I an, Madam! Madam!"
Gu Yuena turned around and saw Zhao Wuji running toward her, with Ma Hongjun lagging far behind.
It was Zhao Wuji who had called out to her, his broad face covered with an ingratiating smile.
"Madam! You're here to find Mr. Dan Heng, right?" Zhao Wuji asked, grinning.
Gu Yuena's gaze turned icy as she looked past him at Ma Hongjun.
She had already heard that Ma Hongjun was the one who had taken Dan Heng away.
Clearly, he had intended to drag her husband down with him!
Ma Hongjun imdiately froze, then suddenly clutched his stomach and shouted, "Teacher Zhao! I... I have a stomachache! I need to go back and rest! I'm leaving now...!"
Without another word, he spun around and bolted, his chubby legs moving astonishingly fast.
Gu Yuena let out a cold snort. Run all you want—you can't escape forever!
How dare he bring her husband to a place like this? Did he think she'd just let it slide?
Zhao Wuji, anwhile, looked at Ma Hongjun in confusion, scratching his head.
Did that brat actually wise up? Was he trying to give all the credit?
Realizing this, Zhao Wuji's heart swelled with excitent.
"Madam, I deeply apologize for yesterday," Zhao Wuji said with a fawning smile. "The children didn't know any better and disturbed you. I've already made sure they understand their mistake. In fact, that fat kid just now—"
"His na is Ma Hongjun—he personally took Mr. Dan Heng here to enjoy himself."
Zhao Wuji grinned, thinking himself quite considerate. Though he had no idea what kind of 'enjoynt' Ma Hongjun had arranged, from what he gathered, Dan Heng had taken a real liking to this place.
So naturally, as his wife, Gu Yuena would be pleased, right?
"..."
Gu Yuena's fury nearly burst from her chest.
Her gaze turned glacial as she said, enunciating each word clearly, "My husband—did not—enjoy—anything."
Zhao Wuji, still oblivious, waved a dismissive hand. "No, no, you're mistaken! Mr. Dan Heng was definitely enjoying himself! Otherwise, I wouldn't have personally arranged this for him!"
Puffing out his chest, he shalessly took credit for the whole thing.
Gu Yuena's expression turned even colder.
"You arranged it?"
Her voice dropped to an eerie, bone-chilling level as she stepped closer to Zhao Wuji, her face utterly devoid of warmth.
Like a statue—emotionless, unyielding.
Yet, the oppressive aura she exuded made Zhao Wuji's heart skip a beat.
He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Wait... why does she seem upset?
Could it be...
Could it be that Ma Hongjun's arrangents were too cheap, and she feels that Dan Heng was slighted?
Zhao Wuji glanced at the nearby building. Only two floors?
His mind worked at lightning speed under Gu Yuena's terrifying pressure, and he quickly ca up with a brilliant idea.
"Hahaha! Madam, actually, my plan was for Mr. Dan Heng to enjoy himself every night for the next month!"
"That fat kid just didn't fully grasp my intentions—there may have been so misunderstandings."
Zhao Wuji scratched his head and laughed, thinking he had finally cleared up any lingering dissatisfaction.
But instead, Gu Yuena, who had been on the verge of exploding, suddenly went silent.
This did not an she had cald down—it ant she was about to completely lose it.
Not only had Zhao Wuji taken her husband to a brothel, but now he wanted him to go every single night?!
This was the greatest humiliation a wife could suffer!
If she hadn't known that Zhao Wuji was rely an ignorant brute, she would have killed him on the spot.
Even so, she could not simply let this slide.
"Follow ."
Gu Yuena suddenly turned around and walked into a nearby alley.
Zhao Wuji hesitated for a mont—then his face lit up with joy.
Was he about to receive a reward from this mighty expert?!
[T/N: No way bro is getting a beating 😭]
His feet felt like they were treading on clouds.
He was already thinking about how, when he returned, he would lavishly praise Ma Hongjun—that kid had really outdone himself this ti!
...
anwhile, on the second floor of the establishnt, Dan Heng found himself surrounded by a flock of won, all vying for his attention.
Originally, he had intended to leave imdiately.
But then, he noticed so of the won—lost, aimless, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
That look... it reminded him of himself in the past.
Yet, their suffering ran far deeper than his had.
If it were March 7th... she would try to help them, wouldn't she?
And so, before he knew it, he had stayed behind.
