Dan Heng left the city.
As the only young man in the library, he had a responsibility to retrieve the books.
Some people borrowed books and didn't return them on time, requiring him to go and collect them.
His work in the city was finished; now, he was going to search in the villages outside the city.
Carrying a backpack, he walked quickly towards his target village.
Because the small town was near the Star Dou Great Forest, wild animals occasionally roamed there, so by evening, there were hardly any people on the road.
It was afternoon, and pedestrians were still scarce.
Dan Heng had walked more than three miles and had seen five figures. As he passed a rice paddy, a rustling sound arose, flowing through the paddy and getting closer.
Although Dan Heng didn't possess the cultivation system of this world, his own strength was universally applicable.
He could sense the sound approaching.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters… Here it comes!
Dan Heng stopped, waiting for the strange creature that was faster than a rabbit.
"Whoosh...!"
A dark figure shot out from the rice paddy, heading straight for him by sheer coincidence.
Dan Heng froze for a moment; he could tell it was a cat-like girl.
Perhaps in her panic, she was still looking back, completely unaware of him, a grown man, blocking her way.
"Bang...!!!"
The girl crashed into Dan Heng's arms.
No intimacy occurred.
Without boasting, Dan Heng's muscles were harder than diamond.
Especially with the girl crashing in at high speed, it was no different than hitting a city wall.
Dan Heng raised his hand to protect the girl's head, preventing her from being knocked unconscious.
The girl's nose was in bad shape; the violent impact caused two small worm-like spurts of blood to flow out.
She was completely dizzy.
Dan Heng supported her waist, placing her on the ground so she could stand. He then
gave her a cloth, "Wipe yourself."
Zhu Zhuqing hadn't yet reacted, groggily taking the cloth, and only when she touched her face...
She suddenly looked up and shouted, "Oh no! They've caught up..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that they were surrounded by men in black, all staring intently at Zhu Zhuqing and Dan Heng.
A hint of fear flashed in each of their eyes.
It wasn't because of Dan Heng—their power systems couldn't discern his strength.
It was because Zhu Zhuqing had accidentally bumped into Dan Heng's arms.
If this were to reach the Star Luo royal family, they would all be punished!
Therefore, their gazes towards Dan Heng were filled with anger.
Why did this troublesome guy have to appear here!
They could have retreated after "chasing" him a little further, but now this had caused another obstacle!
"Third...Miss, you have nowhere to escape."
The men in black had completely surrounded them, leaving no gap for escape.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was grave, biting her lower lip.
Dan Heng calmly watched this scene. Hmm, it seemed this young woman was in trouble.
But strangely, although these men in black looked menacing, they actually showed no killing intent.
Was it a family trial?
Thinking this, Dan Heng decided not to get involved.
Releasing Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively leaned against him again.
"..."
Dan Heng hurriedly caught Zhu Zhuqing, looking at her with suspicion.
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed; she had been too nervous and lost in thought, so her body naturally leaned against him.
The black-clad men around them also reddened. The Third Prince's Consort was wearing a tight leather outfit, and now they were leaning on each other; if the royal family found out, they would probably all be punished.
Their gazes towards Dan Heng became even colder.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving," Dan Heng said softly.
He disliked causing trouble, especially disrupting others' progress.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, wanting to ask for help, but looking at Dan Heng's cold face, she swallowed her words.
Dan Heng released Zhu Zhuqing's waist, and this time she stood firm.
He strode out, and after a few steps, the men in black raised their weapons, turning them towards him.
"???" Dan Heng frowned slightly.
The man in black said,
"You, you'll have to come with us too!"
"Why?" Dan Heng asked.
"..." Because you flirted with our Third Prince's Consort, we have to take you back to await your punishment!
Of course, he couldn't say that.
The Star Luo Royal Family wouldn't allow them to expose their relationship like that.
"Stop talking nonsense, anyway, you have to..."
As he spoke, the man in black rushed towards Dan Heng first.
In their perception, Dan Heng was just an ordinary person, while they were all Soul Masters, so they naturally wouldn't care about formations or anything like that, and could easily take him down.
"Don't touch him! It has nothing to do with him!"
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"..." Dan Heng sighed helplessly. He just wanted a peaceful life, why did trouble have to come his way?
He casually slashed, a phantom flashed, and instantly struck the man in black on the neck.
The man in black immediately collapsed, his eyes rolling back.
The surrounding men in black were all stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Dan Heng.
"This guy is weird! Attack him together!"
Dan Heng sighed inwardly, the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.
He weaved through the men in black, unleashing a series of hand chops, knocking them all unconscious.
The men in black peacefully fell asleep on the ground.
Dan Heng looked at them, shook his head, hoping these guys wouldn't disrupt his hard-won peaceful life. He
had only taken three or five more steps when Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared in front of him.
"?" Dan Heng looked at her in confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly knelt down, sincerely saying, "I want to learn from you! Please teach me!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dan Heng with burning eyes. She had escaped the Star Luo Empire to become stronger, so that she could eventually surpass her sister and Davis.
Just now, Dan Heng had knocked out the men in black with only his physical strength.
Such strength was definitely that of a master!
She didn't want to miss such a potential "master teacher.
" Dan Heng shook his head and said, "No interest."
After saying that, Dan Heng bypassed Zhu Zhuqing and continued towards the village.
...
As the sun was setting, Dan Heng returned to the courtyard with a little follower behind him.
Inside the courtyard was a figure; his "wife," Gu Yuena, was engaged in a heated argument with a group of women.
The thirty-odd women outside were being driven to tears by Gu Yuena's words.
Seeing Dan Heng return, the women covered their faces and ran away.
"What's going on?" Dan Heng asked curiously; these women all seemed to have been on blind dates with him.
Gu Yuena clapped her hands, a faint smugness on her fair face, "Just a bunch of losers wailing. They think they can get revenge here? They're overestimating themselves."
"...Oh." Dan Heng didn't quite understand and went straight into the courtyard.
Gu Yuena's gaze suddenly fell on a beautiful figure behind Dan Heng.
"And who is she?" Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes. She
suddenly remembered a saying from a woman who had lost her husband: "No cat can resist stealing fish.
" Could it be that her husband couldn't restrain himself on their wedding day?
