Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 148 Xie Xie and Long Chen are putting in their best efforts as always.
"What's wrong with Lu Jun?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously as she leaned closer.

Long Chen took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, and roared in a tone almost like announcing the end of the world:
"Brother Lu... he might be homosexual! He likes men!"

"What?" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened instantly, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and she froze completely.

A few seconds later, her eyes glazed over, and she muttered to herself in a daze:

"The house collapsed...the house collapsed! My ice-cold idol...his house collapsed..."

It felt as if a perfect idol statue in my heart had suddenly collapsed.

Gu Yuena, standing to the side, turned deathly pale the moment she heard the words "homosexuality".

Even her delicate body swayed suddenly, her feet staggered, and she almost lost her balance.

An indescribable, excruciating pain and a sense of injustice, as if her heart had been squeezed and torn apart, instantly overwhelmed her.

His amethyst-like eyes were filled with extreme shock and indescribable pain.

A wave of immense disappointment and unspeakable shame surged into her heart, instantly filling her purple eyes with tears.

Gu Yuena felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if the most important thing in her heart had truly been ripped out, leaving her with an empty and painful feeling.

Feeling wronged, resentful, and incredulous... a mix of emotions almost overwhelmed her.

So that's how it is...?

No wonder... no wonder he's ignored me all these years.

It's not that I'm not good enough... it's that he simply... simply doesn't like women?
The confusion, disappointment, and even a trace of self-doubt that had accumulated over the years seemed to find a reasonable yet even more unacceptable answer at this moment.

"You... what you're saying... is it true?"

Gu Yuena's voice trembled without her even realizing it, her gaze fixed on Long Chen and Xie Xie.

"Absolutely true. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning." Xie Xie swore to the heavens, his tone resolute. "Long Chen saw it too. Just now, on the way back to the dormitory, that senior student suddenly hugged Brother Lu and shouted, 'I love you to death!'"

"The way they were so affectionate...tsk tsk, even Brother Lu didn't push him away, how could it be fake?"

Long Chen nodded vigorously, adding fuel to the fire:

"Yes, yes, yes, I saw it for real. The way that senior looked at Brother Lu was practically drooling, and they even walked together with their arms around each other's shoulders. There's definitely something fishy going on!"

Gu Yuena felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and the part of her heart that had been ripped out ached terribly.

A mix of emotions overwhelmed her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The next moment, an unprecedented impulse took hold of her.

She turned around abruptly, ignoring the stunned Long Chen, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan who were overwhelmed with grief, and ran wildly towards the boys' dormitory building at an astonishing speed.

"Sister Gu Yue!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you all standing there for?" Xie Xie suddenly realized. "Chase them! Something bad is about to happen!"

The three of them didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly gave chase.

...Meanwhile, in Lu Jun's dormitory.

Le Zhengyu was looking around Lu Jun's clean and tidy room, where everything was arranged meticulously, and he kept praising it.
"Lu Jun, your dorm room is so tidy, much better than my slum. You can tell you're a very clean and self-disciplined person."

"Their talent is already far superior to ours, yet they're still so stubborn. It's truly terrifying."

Lu Jun poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, saying helplessly:
"Senior Yue, why did you insist on coming to my dorm in such a hurry? It was too much outside just now."

Le Zhengyu took the water glass, chuckled, and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"What's up? I'm here to thank you, of course! I'm incredibly grateful! That thing you gave me last time was... it was simply amazing!"

He lowered his voice, but his excitement was palpable:
"That's a ten-thousand-year-old light-element immortal herb! Do you know how much it increased my soul power? It jumped directly from level thirty-three to level forty. I feel like if I settle down a bit more, becoming a Soul Master will be within my grasp."

"Dude, this gift is too generous, so generous that I don't know how to repay it."

He put down his water glass, grabbed Lu Jun's shoulder, and his eyes shone with sincerity:

"Lu Jun, from this day forward, I, Le Zhengyu, have recognized you as my friend, my brother for life! No, you are my godfather! If you ever need me, I'll go through fire and water for you, godfather, just say the word!"

Lu Jun was exasperated by his exaggerated address and actions, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Stop, stop, senior, you're exaggerating. What godfather... there's no need for that. It's just a token of my appreciation. You've helped me a lot, it's only right."

"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration at all." Le Zhengyu shook his head excitedly, "Good buddy, you are my good buddy! Don't call me senior anymore, just call me Zhengyu, no, call me whatever you want, even call me son, it's perfectly fine."

He changed the subject, leaned closer, and his face was full of smiles:
"Dude, the riot period at the Spirit Ascension Platform is really about to begin. I'm currently stuck at the level 40 threshold and urgently need to go in to increase my soul spirit age so I can break through to the Soul Master level in one fell swoop!"

"Can you still get in over there? How about we team up, join forces, and sweep through the Spirit Ascension Platform? With you here, I feel incredibly safe!"

Lu Jun nodded:
"Yes, I've spoken to the teacher. She said this is the last chance. If anything unexpected happens at the Ascension Platform this time, I'll be permanently banned from going in again."

"Godfather! You are simply my second godfather!" Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu was so excited that he almost jumped up. He hugged Lu Jun tightly again, his voice trembling with tears. "I'm begging you, please take me with you this time. Take me to show off and fly high. My path to becoming a Soul Master depends on you, Godfather!"

Although Lu Jun knew that Le Zhengyu had a lively and enthusiastic personality, he was still made uncomfortable by the sudden heartfelt confession and hug.

This is exactly what Lu Jun expected.

The bond between boys is that they all want to be each other's father.

This time, Yue Zhengyu can be said to have truly and willingly called Lu Jun his godfather.

This ten-thousand-year-old luminous immortal herb brought him immense benefits.

Lu Jun was about to push him away to calm him down...

"boom!!!"

The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open from the outside with such force that the door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

At the door, Gu Yuena's pretty face was deathly pale, her chest heaving violently. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Jun and Le Zhengyu, who were tightly embracing each other inside the dormitory. Her eyes were filled with shock, grievance, anger, and the pain of being deceived.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the way Lu Jun was being held by Le Zhengyu, then shifted to Lu Jun's face, her voice trembling with disbelief and deep grief:
"You... you...!"
