Dan Heng returned ho promptly after finishing work.
On the way, he once again encountered "Xue Qinghe," who, just like last ti, was carrying a large piece of at.
This ti, it was beef.
It would be enough for an average household to eat for ten als, but in Dan Heng's ho, it would barely last for one.
With Gu Yuena and Zi Ji, two gluttons, an ordinary family truly wouldn't be able to afford their appetites.
For instance, Dan Heng's current salary wasn't even enough to cover food expenses.
Now that "Xue Qinghe" was willing to bring food while mooching als, he didn't really mind.
"Mr. Dan Heng, I must trouble you again. Ever since I had your cooking, even the most exquisite delicacies no longer bring any joy."
"Xue Qinghe" smiled.
Dan Heng shook his head slightly. "There's always room for one more at the table. If you wish to co, then just co."
"Xue Qinghe" looked pleasantly surprised and nodded firmly. "That's wonderful!"
Now that Mr. Dan Heng wasn't rejecting her, she felt quite delighted.
A talent like Mr. Dan Heng must be drawn to her side.
Using her identity as "Xue Qinghe" wasn't enough—she wanted Dan Heng to follow her out of his own will, not because of his allegiance to the Tian Dou crown prince.
Of course, aside from strengthening their bond, she genuinely enjoyed Dan Heng's cooking.
Eating his food reminded her of the brief happiness she had experienced in her childhood.
As she quickly stepped forward to open the door, she said, "Mr. Dan Heng, I still haven't reported your Tui'en Decree... If I do, you would gain great rit and be granted nobility, which would be completely justified."
"Would you reconsider? I feel terrible taking credit for such an achievent."
"Xue Qinghe" sighed. In truth, the reason she hadn't reported it yet was that she was waiting for the Spirit Hall to be fully prepared for the consequences.
Dan Heng shook his head. "No, I have no such desire. Your Highness, do not act on your own and drag into this. Otherwise, I will leave imdiately!"
Dan Heng's expression turned serious, his tone resolute.
"Xue Qinghe" quickly nodded, feeling a little flustered upon seeing Dan Heng's change in deanor.
"Mr. Dan Heng, rest assured, no matter what, I will never go against your will or involve you in anything without your consent!"
"Xue Qinghe" panicked for a mont and suddenly realized—she was becoming overly concerned about Dan Heng's feelings.
This strange feeling of being affected by soone else unsettled her.
Dan Heng responded with a quiet "hmm," feeling that "Xue Qinghe" was even more reliable than his nominal wife.
At least, she hadn't caused him any trouble yet.
Even though she herself was like a ticking ti bomb.
Evening.
Gu Yuena entered Zi Ji's room.
Zi Ji was upside down on the bed, wearing nothing but a sheer purple nightgown. Because of her position, the gown had slipped down, partially covering her face while revealing her fair thighs and a hint of sothing more.
Gu Yuena's expression darkened.
"What are you doing?"
Zi Ji quickly flipped herself over and sat up. She grinned. "Big Sister, I'm digesting my food so I can eat more tomorrow!"
Gu Yuena grabbed her cheek and pinched it hard, scolding, "You are a lady! Stop doing such indecent things! What if soone sees you?"
Zi Ji remained unfazed, speaking righteously, "It's fine if they see. It's not like they're outsiders."
Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed, staring at her.
Zi Ji's face changed instantly, and she quickly promised, "Big Sister, I swear I won't do it again! I definitely won't!"
Gu Yuena didn't press further and simply stated, "There's a Titled Douluo searching nearby. He's likely looking for my husband. If he cos, teach him a lesson."
Zi Ji's eyes imdiately lit up, and she clenched her fists excitedly. "Got it, Sister! Leave it to !"
She had been idle these past few days, and now she finally had a chance to prove herself. Zi Ji wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away.
She had to show Big Sister that she wasn't just here to eat and loaf around!
Otherwise, once Bi Ji arrived, wouldn't she be completely overshadowed?
Gu Yuena gave a small nod. Seeing Zi Ji's fighting spirit, she took a deep breath—she, too, needed to take action.
Originally, she had planned to claim her husband before.
But then, her injuries and a misunderstanding had led to a cold war between them, delaying it.
Now, things were different. She had recovered, and their relationship had ward up.
It was ti to make her husband utterly captivated by her.
The next day.
Dan Heng went to work as usual, but he couldn't shake the lingering thoughts of what had happened the night before.
Gu Yuena had actually snuggled into his arms, and feeling that soft, bare skin against him had stirred sothing within.
Even though the Vidyadhara had nearly lost their ability to reproduce, they weren't completely incapable.
Even in his past life as Dan Feng, he hadn't been devoid of emotions—he was just naturally indifferent and bad at expressing them.
Now, with Gu Yuena's teasing, Dan Heng found it difficult to resist, a fire stirring within him.
As he arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy, he couldn't help recalling the breathtaking sight he had woken up to that morning.
Now, even as he read, the dense lines of text seed to form the curves of Gu Yuena's body.
Just then, a voice called out.
"Dan Heng, the Headmaster is looking for you..."
Dan Heng entered the Headmaster's office.
Inside the spacious and well-lit office, aside from Liu Erlong, the three girls—Jiang Zhu and her friends—were also present.
Seeing them there, Dan Heng had a bad feeling.
Liu Erlong gestured toward the chair across from her and nodded. "Please, take a seat."
As soon as Dan Heng sat down, Liu Erlong spoke again.
"Mr. Dan Heng, I never expected that the librarian I casually hired would bring such a great surprise. The guidance you gave them is sothing even Blue Tyrant Academy could not achieve."
"So, keeping you as just a librarian would be a waste of talent. I want you to beco a senior instructor at our academy!"
"That would better match your abilities. Our academy doesn't favor personal connections—we prioritize true talent."
Liu Erlong smiled warmly.
She looked at Dan Heng with clear admiration—he reminded her of Yu Xiaogang.
Back then, Yu Xiaogang had also been like Dan Heng: young, handso, talented, scholarly, and carrying an air of aloofness that distanced him from others.
Jiang Zhu and the other girls looked over in excitent, happy that Dan Heng was getting promoted.
In contrast, Dan Heng's mood was far from pleasant.
Becoming a teacher ant interacting with students, getting involved with more people, and increasing the likelihood of running into trouble.
Without a mont's hesitation, he shook his head. "Apologies, Headmaster, but I fear you misunderstand—I do not possess such abilities. I am rely a librarian and wish to remain as such."
"Their improvents are thanks to the authors, not . How could I take credit for that?"
"So, please reconsider, Headmaster."
Dan Heng's expression was serious.
