Chapter 100: Too Terrifying

This was the price for interrupting her and her husband's intimate moment.

Had it not been for her husband's words, she would have already obliterated them with her full strength!

Even though her power had yet to fully recover, the treasures she possessed were more than enough to annihilate them.

Take, for example, the dragon relics she had in her collection—hundreds of them.

Each one alone could unleash strength on par with a top-tier Titled Douluo!

"Elder Sister is so powerful!!!" Zi Ji quickly flattered her.

Gu Yuena cast her a cold glance.

Was this fool truly unable to tell that she had concealed her face to keep her identity hidden?

But whatever.

It had already been said.

Besides, Zi Ji had already exposed herself.

If these people didn't know what was good for them—she would just kill them all!

After experiencing Dan Heng's affection, Gu Yuena even felt like she was drowning in a sea of bliss.

Her old desire to lead the soul beasts to dominance… was fading.

Across from her, the three Titled Douluo—Sword Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, and Ghost Douluo—had all retreated, their eyes locked cautiously on Gu Yuena.

Yu Yuanzhen, in particular, was deeply unsettled.

His martial soul was the strongest beast martial soul on the entire Douluo Continent.

His power was immense.

And yet—

Faced with this woman, he felt completely suppressed.

If he could even use seventy or eighty percent of his true strength, it would already be a miracle.

If the fight dragged on any longer, he feared he might even end up worse off than Ghost Douluo!

Speaking of whom—

Ghost Douluo was already backing away.

Clearly, he had given up entirely on this battle.

What a coward!

Yu Yuanzhen immediately sent a voice transmission to Sword Douluo.

"The situation isn't good. We should retreat."

They were all experienced warriors.

They knew when to fight—and when to fall back.

Sword Douluo gave the smallest nod. "Alright…"

The very next second—

Both he and Yu Yuanzhen suddenly turned, leaping onto the rooftops, fleeing in perfect sync.

Ghost Douluo had been inching away bit by bit, planning to slip away unnoticed.

Help Sword Douluo and Yu Yuanzhen?

Why the hell would he do something so stupid?

Yes, Sword Douluo had technically saved his life.

But the next moment—

The two of them ran off without even a word to him.

Ghost Douluo was furious.

"Those bastards! Cowards! Damn it!!!"

His angry outburst made Gu Yuena turn her gaze to him.

A bead of sweat dripped down Ghost Douluo's forehead.

If the two of them couldn't take on this monster—

Then how could he, alone, possibly survive?

Those two bastards had run off so easily, yet now he was the one left to die!

Gu Yuena spoke coldly.

"When you return, you will not reveal anything about us. If you do… we will hunt you down and kill you."

Ghost Douluo's heart leaped with relief.

They weren't killing him?

Oh, thank the heavens!!!

"N-n-never! I swear on my life! I won't say a word! Not a single word!"

His voice trembled.

Only a fool would dare provoke the Silver Dragon King!

"Get lost." Gu Yuena ordered.

Ghost Douluo turned and ran for his life, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.

He transformed into a wisp of black mist and disappeared into the distance.

With the intruders gone, Zi Ji anxiously looked at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena raised her hand, tearing open a space rift before them.

On the other side of the rift—was their home.

"What are you standing around for? Get inside."

Zi Ji frantically nodded. "Right! Right! Let's go home! Elder Sister, you seem… happy?"

In the past, if she had caused a mess like this—

Her Lordship would have punished her without hesitation.

Yet now, nothing?

In fact, her tone even carried a hint of delight?

Could it be…

Had Her Lordship finally acknowledged her loyalty?!

Did this mean her position was secure?

Zi Ji hurriedly followed Gu Yuena through the space rift, secretly filled with hope.

Meanwhile—Gu Yuena had something else on her mind entirely.

There was still plenty of time left tonight.

She had to find a way…

To get her husband back in the mood.

Two or three rounds? That was nothing.

She had barely gotten started.

—

Half an hour later, people finally dared to emerge and inspect the battlefield.

There were collapsed buildings.

But there were no corpses.

The guards searched, yet they found no evidence that a Titled Douluo-level battle had taken place here.

—

Elsewhere—Ghost Douluo finally returned to his meeting point with Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The rendezvous point was a pavilion in a secluded area.

Chrysanthemum Douluo paced inside, his expression filled with unease.

The moment Ghost Douluo appeared, he rushed forward and grabbed him in a tight hug.

Ghost Douluo stiffened.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face lit up with joy.

"Old Ghost! Have you finally realized why I've never taken a wife?"

"Old Chrysanthemum, I nearly died out there—wait, what the hell did you just say?"

Ghost Douluo shoved him back, staring at him in confusion.

For a moment, he felt like he had just overheard something shocking.

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly shook his head. "N-nothing! Forget I said anything! Old Ghost, there's something I need to talk to you about…"

He forced a laugh, trying to find the right words.

He had intended to ask Ghost Douluo for help.

But now… dragging him into this might not be the best idea.

Before he could say anything, Ghost Douluo cut in.

"No need to talk. Just listen to me!"

*"The mission His Holiness assigned us—we are NOT going any further with it!"

"This ends here. Do not ask why! When we return, we tell them we found nothing. We erase every trace of what we know!"

Ghost Douluo's voice was panicked.

He had nearly died.

Compared to losing his life, a punishment from the Pope was nothing.

There was no comparison.

Chrysanthemum Douluo paused.

He had no idea what had happened.

But…

This was exactly what he wanted, too.

"Alright, Old Ghost. I'll listen to you. No matter what, we face everything together."

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled.

"I'll take care of wiping all traces."

Actually… I already erased them all.

Ghost Douluo exhaled, his nerves finally calming.

"By the way, Old Chrysanthemum… what were you going to tell me before?"

"Ah… nothing. I was just worried about you. You seemed tense, so why don't we… share a room tonight?"

"…"

Ghost Douluo, remembering the pure nightmare he had just escaped from, hesitated.

"Alright."

—

By the next morning, everything had changed.

After a brief investigation, Ning Fengzhi had already uncovered the truth about Dan Heng's household.

"I never would have thought…"

"That the man we were searching for—arranged to live here by Qinghe—"

"Has a wife… and a sister-in-law… who are both Ferocious Beasts."

He turned to Sword Douluo.

"Sword Uncle, do you think this 'Mister Dan Heng'… might be a beast as well?"

Sword Douluo was silent, lost in thought.

Their battle had been brief, but the power he had faced was unquestionable.

"We won't make enemies of them… but we must keep watching."
