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

Chapter 153 The Spirit Messenger of the Spirit Pagoda, Di Yue
"Oh~~~"

Xie Xie, being lifted by Lu Jun, kicked wildly with his feet off the ground. Upon hearing Le Zhengyu's admission, he drew out the last syllable, suddenly realizing what had happened, and a strange smile appeared on his face:

"So you're trying to seduce our Xiao Yan, huh? Heh heh, then I'll have to have a good talk with her and tell her about your playboy nature..."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Le Zhengyu exclaimed anxiously, interrupting Xie Xie with wide eyes, "You...you're very familiar with each other?"

"Of course!" Xie Xie puffed out his chest, his face full of pride, as if being grabbed by the collar wouldn't affect his aura. "Me, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan, the three of us grew up together in Donghai City, wearing open-crotch pants!"

"They were in the same class since Donghai Academy, and later transferred to Sun Moon Royal Academy together. They were inseparable, true childhood sweethearts, the iron triangle, the F3 of Donghai City, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu's eyes lit up immediately, his attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn, and his face was filled with a friendly smile as he winked at Xie Xie:

"Oh my, Brother Xie Xie, look how familiar we are, how close we are, right? It was all a misunderstanding earlier, a misunderstanding. We've become friends through a fight!"

He tried to break free from Lu Jun's grasp, and although he failed, he still leaned closer to Xie Xie and whispered:
"Good brother, do me a favor and put in a good word for me with Xu Xiaoyan, okay? Hmm, I'll definitely reward you handsomely after it's done!"

"Calling you 'brother' wouldn't be too much for me, and I wouldn't even call you 'godfather'!"

"..."

Lu Jun subconsciously let go of their hands and silently moved away from them.

"Is this true?" Xie Xie's eyes widened, as if he had spotted a huge business opportunity. "Is it really true, Godfather?"

"Indeed, it's more real than real gold!" Le Zhengyu patted his chest and guaranteed, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

So, the two who were fighting to the death just a second ago were now arm in arm with each other.

Xie Xie lowered his voice and said slyly:

"Well... you see, we've built such a good relationship, shouldn't we... reciprocate a little?"

"You have a wide network of connections and know a lot of pretty girls, so why don't you introduce me to some of them? We can all 'take care of each other'!"

"Haha, no problem, no problem, I've got it covered." Le Zhengyu patted Xie Xie's shoulder heartily, looking like they were best buddies.

Long Chen: "..."

Lu Jun: "..."

Long Chen and Lu Jun, who were standing to the side, looked at this dramatic scene, exchanged a tacit glance, and then shook their heads helplessly at the same time.

These two guys... are hopeless.

……

Gu Yuena returned to her single dormitory room, closed the door, and leaned against the door panel.

Just then, the soul-guided communicator on her wrist vibrated slightly, and the contact displayed on the screen was Zi Ji.

Gu Yuena connected the communication, and Zi Ji's gentle voice came through:
"My lord, how have you been doing in the human world lately?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Gu Yuena's voice returned to its usual cool tone, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a subtle hint of ease and joy.

The perceptive Murasaki immediately noticed this subtle change in emotion, and a smile crept into her voice:

"Your Excellency sounds to be in a good mood? Did something interesting happen in the human world? I'd like to know what could make you so happy."

When the topic turned to something interesting, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile slightly.

She walked to the window, looked at the lush greenery of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy outside, and began to share it with Zi Ji:

"I did encounter some...unexpected situations. Human emotional entanglements are sometimes more complex and interesting than imagined." She shared the interesting things that had happened at the academy these days, as well as how she had made some human friends.

"...Her name is Xu Xiaoyan, and she's a very interesting human girl. Although her strength isn't top-notch among her peers, she's insightful and straightforward. I guess you could say she's...a friend I can talk to."

Gu Yuena used the word "friend," her tone carrying a hint of cherishing that she herself was unaware of.

"Xu Xiaoyan?" Zi Ji listened with great interest on the other end of the communication. "To be recognized as a friend by the lord, it seems that this human girl is indeed extraordinary."

"I am relieved to hear that my lord has had a pleasant experience in the human world."

The two chatted for a few more minutes about other trivial matters at the academy. Ziji glanced at the time and respectfully said:

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer, my lord. I wish you all the best and a pleasant stay in the human world."

"Yes, you too," Gu Yuena replied, and then the call ended.

……

Meanwhile, in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a place of great danger.

What was once a terrifying no-man's-land has now become a cluster of comfortable wooden cabins with a unique style that stands out from the surrounding primeval forest.

These wooden houses are clearly the work of the Spirit Tower, providing modern residences for the special beings residing there.

On the terrace of the largest wooden cabin, Zi Ji had just finished a phone call with Gu Yue Na, a relieved smile on her face.

Opposite her stood Di Tian, ​​tall and imposing.

"How is the Lord's condition?" Di Tian asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Lord is in very good condition, even more relaxed and happy than before."

Zi Ji relayed what Gu Yue Na had shared, especially the part about making a human friend, Xu Xiao Yan, to Di Tian.

A hint of surprise flashed in Di Tian's majestic golden eyes:
"Oh? You've made human friends? That's... a bit unexpected."

He had thought that integrating the Lord into the human world would be a long process, but to his surprise, the progress seemed to be quite smooth.

"It seems that our Lord is more adapted to life in the human world than we thought."

"Yes, Your Majesty is also very happy," Zi Ji nodded.

Just then, a vibrant, slightly coquettish and languid female voice rang out like a silver bell, approaching from afar:
"Di Tian, ​​what's unexpected? What interesting things are you talking about?"

With light footsteps, a tall figure swayed gracefully through the forest path and appeared on the terrace.

She looked to be around twenty years old, with a graceful figure and exquisite curves, practically perfect.

Her long, flowing blonde hair, like sunlight, was casually draped over her shoulders, with slightly curled ends, highlighting her exquisitely beautiful face.

What's most striking are those crimson eyes, like the purest rubies, now sparkling with a lively and curious light.

She nimbly leaped onto the terrace in a few steps, nestled between Di Tian and Zi Ji, and curiously looked left and right:
"Tell me quickly, is there some gossip I don't know? Let me hear it."

The moment Di Tian saw her, the icy coldness on his face melted away, his eyes filled with undisguised doting affection, and his tone carried a hint of helpless laughter:

"Oh my, isn't this our famous Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Pagoda's busy Miss Di Yue?"

"How could you bear to leave the bustling human world today and think of coming back to visit me, an empty-nest old woman?"
