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

Chapter 149: The Matter of Xie Xie Being the Group's Punishment

Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled slightly as she pointed at them, her voice filled with heartbreaking sorrow, almost blurting out:

"Lu Jun, what's so good about men... what's so great about men that makes you... make you reject me like this?"

Xie Xie, Long Chen, and Xu Xiaoyan, who rushed over right after, saw the two people embracing inside the dormitory and Gu Yuena standing at the door, on the verge of tears, questioning them.

The expressions on the three people's faces were quite varied.

Shock, understanding, sympathy, and a complex mix of emotions, including a sense of "I knew it."

"Brother Lu, I never thought... you really were that kind of person!" Xie Xie cried out in anguish.

Long Chen also covered his face, but his fingers were wide open: "My eyes, my eyes, Brother Lu, I never expected you to have such a unique hobby..."

Xu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, looked as if her worldview had been shaken once again, and muttered:
"It's confirmed... This time they caught them red-handed..."

Lu Jun: "???"

Le Zhengyu: "???"

The two froze instantly, as if huge question marks and exclamation marks were simultaneously appearing above their heads.

Le Zhengyu was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He subconsciously let go of Lu Jun, looked at the indignant Gu Yuena at the door, then at his classmates with their interesting expressions, and finally looked at Lu Jun, who was completely dumbfounded and had a black line on his face. He instantly understood what was going on.

"Holy crap, this is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!" Le Zhengyu jumped up and down in a panic, waving his hands frantically, his voice cracking. "It's not what you think! Lu Jun and I are innocent, more innocent than gold and silver!"

Lu Jun finally recovered from the series of shocks. Looking at Gu Yuena's aggrieved and indignant eyes, and then at Xie Xie and Long Chen's knowing expressions, he felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

It feels like I've been misunderstood.
He abruptly shoved aside Le Zhengyu, who was still trying to explain, strode to the door, pointed at Xie Xie and Long Chen, his voice rising eight octaves with shame and anger:

"Wait, all of you shut up! Gu Yuena, what did you just say? What's so great about any man? Rejecting you?"

"When did I reject you? What did I reject you for? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"And you too." He turned to Xie Xie and Long Chen, "What kind of people are you? Explain yourselves clearly!"

Yue Zhengyu quickly squeezed in and explained at breakneck speed:

"Yes, yes, don't misunderstand. What just happened was because I helped Junior Brother Lu Jun a lot, and he gave me a magical herb that greatly improved my cultivation and made rapid progress."

"I was so excited when I hugged him just now. He agreed to team up with me during the Spirit Ascension Platform's turbulent period to help me break through to the Soul Master level. I was so grateful, it's such a brotherly bond!"

"This is pure brotherhood, absolutely not the kind of filthy relationship you're thinking of!"

Le Zhengyu's explanation came out like a machine gun, packed with information, instantly stunning the people at the door.

"Help? Immortal herbs as thanks? Team up for the Spirit Ascension Platform?" Xu Xiaoyan blinked, quickly sorting out the logic. "Oh, I see!"

Gu Yuena's grief and indignation froze instantly, replaced by a huge sense of bewilderment and embarrassment, as if she had survived a catastrophe.

Looking at Lu Jun's expression and then at Le Zhengyu's eagerness to clear his name, she finally realized that she might have... really made a huge blunder.

So... he wasn't... he didn't like men?

This realization instantly lifted the heavy weight off Gu Yuena's heart.

But then, an even stronger sense of shame, almost overwhelming her, swept over her.

Good heavens, what did she say?

This is absolutely... absolutely humiliating!
Her fair cheeks quickly flushed with a captivating blush, which spread to her ears and neck, even turning her small earlobes bright red.

I wish I could find a crack in the ground and disappear right now.

After Le Zhengyu explained, Lu Jun immediately seized the key point. His sharp gaze shot towards Xie Xie and Long Chen, who looked guilty and were quietly shrinking back. His voice was so cold it seemed like ice shards could fall from their lips:

"Gu Yuena, what was the meaning of your first words when you came in? What's so great about men that makes you want to reject me? Come here, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Yuena was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, wishing she could disappear on the spot, but she still pointed at Xie Xie and Long Chen:

"They said you're homosexual, and that you rejected me because you like men..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xie and Long Chen's expressions turned to despair.

Not buddy.

Are you betraying your teammates right away?
"Fine, fine, so this is how you guys play it, is it?"

Lu Jun rolled up his sleeves and approached Xie Xie and Long Chen menacingly: "You two brats are spreading rumors about me outside? Huh?"

Seeing Lu Jun's murderous gaze and his clenched fists, Xie Xie and Long Chen were instantly terrified.

"Brother Lu, it's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!" Xie Xie cried out and tried to run away.

"Brother Lu, we were wrong, we were blind, we were talking nonsense!"

"Have mercy, Brother Lu!!" Long Chen wailed, trying to explain, "We were just confused because we were worried!"

"Concern leads to confusion? Confusion leads to spreading rumors about me? I think you're just asking for trouble."

Lu Jun was furious. The anger he felt at being targeted by the Tang Clan, coupled with this outrageous rumor, instantly ignited his rage.

"If I don't beat you both until your faces are covered in bruises today, you won't know why flowers are so red!"

"No, Brother Lu, we know we were wrong!"

Xie Xie began to run away with his head in his hands.

"Help! Killer!"

Long Chen also ran wildly around the beds in the dormitory.

The small boys' dormitory immediately erupted into chaos, with Lu Jun chasing after Xie Xie and Long Chen, who were running away with their heads in their hands, his fists whistling through the air.

Le Zhengyu watched from the side and laughed heartily, clapping and cheering.

"Yes, yes, junior Lu, let's beat them up and stop them from gossiping and ruining our brothers' reputation!"

The boys' dormitory was immediately filled with Xie Xie and Long Chen's miserable, desperate, and deafening wails.

"Don't come over here!"

"Brother Lu, spare me!"

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, her shoulders twitching as she chuckled. The sadness of the house collapse had long been dispelled by this farce.

Gu Yuena stood at the door, looking at the chaotic scene. She felt both ashamed and embarrassed. She wanted to laugh but also felt extremely awkward. She didn't know whether to leave or stay. Her cheeks were so hot that she could fry an egg on them.

Just as the noise was starting, a cold voice came from the doorway, instantly freezing all the commotion in the dormitory:

"What's the noise about?"

"No noise allowed in the boys' dormitory."

Wu Changkong appeared at the doorway at some point. His perpetually icy face was expressionless as he glanced indifferently at Lu Jun, who was chasing after him, Xie Xie and Long Chen, who were running away with their heads in their hands, Le Zhengyu, who was laughing heartily, Xu Xiaoyan, who was chuckling, and Gu Yuena, who was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear.

The air became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xie Xie and Long Chen stood frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed, their faces filled with despair at the impending doom.

Lu Jun also stopped what he was doing and lowered his fist.

Lok Jung-woo's laughter caught in his throat.

Xu Xiaoyan quickly stood up straight and pretended to look at the ceiling.

Gu Yuena wished she could disappear on the spot, silently lowering her head and pretending not to look at anything.

Wu Changkong's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan.

"You two, this is the boys' dormitory. You two girls forced your way in here, and the security guards have notified me to come and deal with this matter."

"Tell me, why?"

"Forehead……"

Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan exchanged a glance.

Spicy balls.

This time it was their turn.
