Chapter 75: Uncle and Nephew Cooperation

"Speak!" Zi Ji snorted coldly, exerting more force with her foot.

Snake Lance Douluo groaned, his soul power surging throughout his body, barely managing to protect himself.

But trying to break free? That was nothing more than a fool's dream!

"What is with this woman? Why does she have such immense strength?" Snake Lance Douluo's breathing became labored.

Blood-tinged foam started appearing in his nostrils, but he stubbornly remained silent.

"Heh, you're really stubborn. Fine, if that's the case, should I just stomp you to death? Still not talking?" Zi Ji threatened.

She hadn't originally taken on any mission from Gu Yuena—capturing him was purely accidental.

Whether to let him go or kill him was entirely up to her.

And with the pride of the Dragon Clan, crushing an "ant" underfoot seemed to be something she found enjoyable.

Snake Lance Douluo could genuinely feel Zi Ji's killing intent.

If he didn't act soon, he might really get stomped to death.

And dying in such a humiliating way—there probably wasn't another Titled Douluo who had suffered a worse fate than this.

"I… will speak…"

Snake Lance Douluo trembled as he forced the words out.

"Then stop stalling! I've killed plenty like you before!" Zi Ji said smugly.

"Cough, cough…"

Snake Lance Douluo pointed at his mouth, signaling that he was being stepped on so hard he couldn't speak.

"Tch, so much trouble!" Zi Ji pouted but loosened her grip with her foot.

The next second, a snake spear suddenly appeared in Snake Lance Douluo's hand. Like a venomous snake striking, he reversed his grip and thrust it straight at Zi Ji's head.

Zi Ji had long anticipated this attack. She didn't need any weapons—she simply met the spear with her bare hands.

"BANG…!!!"

A muffled impact rang out.

Zi Ji had caught the snake spear.

Snake Lance Douluo froze in disbelief, staring at Zi Ji.

A mere body of flesh and blood… had actually stopped his snake spear head-on?

Was this woman even human?

In the instant he was stunned, Zi Ji suddenly yanked backward.

Snake Lance Douluo's body was forcibly pulled forward, and at the same time, Zi Ji lifted her right foot and delivered a vicious kick to his stomach.

A dark silhouette shot out like a cannonball, crashing into a large tree.

"You still dare to try tricks with me? Don't run!"

Zi Ji instantly flashed forward in pursuit, a playful smile on her enchanting face.

She was completely in the mindset of a cat playing with a mouse!

Snake Lance Douluo slumped against a tree trunk, his movements restricted.

If he continued to be toyed with by Zi Ji, he was dead for sure!

Just as Zi Ji was about to reach him, another golden figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Porcupinefish Douluo.

He was much broader than Snake Lance Douluo, and as soon as he appeared, his body sprouted numerous sharp spikes.

Zi Ji collided with him, instinctively raising her foot to kick—

But her foot landed squarely on the spikes on Porcupinefish Douluo's chest.

She hurriedly retreated, holding her injured foot, looking at Porcupinefish Douluo in disbelief.

"And what the hell are you supposed to be?"

Porcupinefish Douluo didn't answer. Instead, he quickly turned around, grabbed Snake Lance Douluo, and fled.

The Tian Dou Imperial Convoy

Inside "Xue Qinghe's" luxurious carriage, two figures suddenly flashed inside.

It was none other than Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo.

"Xue Qinghe" had been writing a letter, and when she saw them rush in, she was startled.

Because she had been writing a letter… to Spirit Hall.

If anyone else saw this, Spirit Hall would truly be doomed beyond redemption!

"Uncle Snake Lance?! What happened?"

"Xue Qinghe" hurriedly stowed away her letter. When she saw Snake Lance Douluo's pale, near-death complexion, she panicked.

She quickly helped him lie down while retrieving high-quality healing medicine from her storage soul tool.

Porcupinefish Douluo explained from the side, "Young Master, we underestimated that household. They… actually have a Titled Douluo guarding them! Snake Lance and I were watching from afar, and then—"

Zi Ji's strength was undoubtedly at the level of a Worship Elder.

Even though Snake Lance Douluo wasn't the strongest, he was still a Titled Douluo. Yet, even without using soul skills, he had been beaten to this extent…

"Xue Qinghe" bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't—"

Snake Lance Douluo shook his head. "Young Master, knowing that they have a Titled Douluo-level protector is actually a good thing for us. At least we won't be caught off guard in the future…"

"You weren't wrong. It was the right decision."

He forced a smile, not wanting "Xue Qinghe" to blame herself.

"Xue Qinghe" had a complicated expression, recalling Dan Heng… and his wife, Gu Yuena.

After all, she hadn't even met Dan Heng face-to-face yet.

But his arrogance and knowledge had completely captivated her, making her both admire and resent him.

And now, seeing Snake Lance Douluo's injuries, she abandoned the idea of silencing them.

Forget about silencing—she was lucky they weren't the ones being silenced!

Since destruction wasn't an option, the only choice left was to win them over.

"Xue Qinghe" whispered, "Dan Heng's identity holds secrets. It would be best to befriend him… Uncle Snake Lance, Uncle Porcupinefish, from now on, just leave this to me. You two should stop showing yourselves."

The two Douluo nodded weakly, their smiles bitter.

Even if they wanted to show themselves, they couldn't anymore.

That would be pure suicide!

The Tian Dou Imperial Convoy

Dan Heng and the Gaishi Dragon Serpent couple traveled together, positioned in the center of the convoy.

Dan Heng lifted the curtain and looked around. They were surrounded by people on all sides.

Then he glanced at the driver's seat, where Zi Ji was holding a small, pale foot in front of her face, examining it with a frown.

The sole of her foot was a soft pink, but the center had turned purplish-red.

Seeing Dan Heng come out, Zi Ji stretched her foot out toward him—

Nearly kicking him in the face.

At least it didn't smell bad.

But seriously, was this even appropriate?

Dan Heng leaned back slightly and asked, "What happened?"

Zi Ji wrinkled her nose and huffed, "I stepped on a toad!"

Then, with a pitiful look, she eagerly said, "Brother-in-law, you were able to heal Sister—could you check my foot too? It hurts to walk now!"

Just as Dan Heng was about to reply, Gu Yuena's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.

"Zi Ji, come in. I'll take a look at it for you."

Zi Ji immediately brightened, smiling radiantly. "Coming, Sister! You're the best!"

Not long after she entered—

A muffled groan of pain came from inside.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the carriage beside them—the one carrying the Gaishi Dragon Serpent couple.

There were two unfamiliar figures inside, both watching him.

At that moment, Dan Heng instantly sensed trouble.

Long Gong Meng Shu chuckled and introduced them.

"Young friend Dan Heng, you've finally decided to come out. These two have been eager to meet you. They are Prince Xue Xing and His Highness, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe…"

Hearing Meng Shu's introduction, Dan Heng immediately wanted to retreat back into the carriage.

And at the same time, he wanted to ask Gu Yuena—

When did these two start traveling with us?!

Prince Xue Xing and "Xue Qinghe" both looked surprised, clearly not expecting Dan Heng to be this young and handsome.

With his level of knowledge and insight, they had assumed he was an old man.

After all, wasn't it common for scholarly old men to have beautiful young wives…?
