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

Chapter 197 Xie Xie's Big Mouth Skill
Sure enough, Xu Xiaoyan, who was sitting at the next table and eating, paused. Her delicate face first showed confusion, then quickly flushed with disgust.

As if she had been stained by something dirty, she subconsciously moved closer to Gu Yuena's side and muttered something softly, just loud enough for Le Zhengyu, who was listening intently, to hear clearly:

"That's really... kind of..."

The disdain and speechlessness in his tone were almost overflowing.

Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu's face instantly turned from red to black, and the veins on his forehead bulged out. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out Xie Xie's name.

"Thank you—for the encounter!!!"

The look in his eyes was as if he wanted to devour this useless teammate alive.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xie Xie was still immersed in the grand theory of love at first sight and self-pity, and didn't realize how big a mess he had made. He looked blankly at the furious Le Zhengyu.

Then, as if remembering something more important, he turned his gaze to Lu Jun, who had been eating quietly across from him, seemingly detached from the situation, his eyes filled with longing and caution:

"Brother Lu, um... can I... can I cultivate with you? You're so strong in cultivation, you must have a way. Can you help me?"

In front of Lu Jun, Xie Xie subconsciously suppressed his usual carefree nature.

He knew that Lu Jun was calm and composed, even mature beyond his years, rarely showing the naivety and playfulness of his peers, and was meticulous and serious in his work.

Training under such a master is a rare opportunity, so one must have the right attitude.

Lu Jun silently finished the last few bites of rice, put down his chopsticks, and picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at Xie Xie.

He acknowledged Xie Xie's potential.

Although they are two companion martial souls, much weaker than ordinary twin martial souls, he will be able to fuse these two martial souls together in the future to become the future Time and Space Dragon, so his talent is beyond doubt.

Xie Xie, who became the Time-Space Dragon, possessed extremely strong combat power among the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Now, he just needs the right guidance and enough pressure. Perhaps with my help, there is indeed a chance that Xie Xie can become stronger quickly.

"Yes, yes."

Upon hearing Lu Jun's agreement, Xie Xie's eyes instantly blazed with ecstatic joy, and he almost cheered out loud.

Lu Jun then added, like a bucket of cold water poured over Xie Xie's feverish head:

"It all depends on whether you can stick with it."

"That's great!!" Xie Xie didn't care about the cold water anymore. Overwhelmed with joy, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair. "Then Brother Lu, it's a deal! It's a promise!"

"Okay." Lu Jun's lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly in response.

Just as they reached an agreement, Xie Xie was still immersed in the wonderful anticipation of becoming stronger and marrying the goddess.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yue Zhengyu keenly caught a figure appearing at the entrance of the cafeteria. It was Yuan Enyehui, who had just finished eating and was walking side by side with her best friend.

The two seemed to have just gotten to an interesting topic, and a rare, faint smile appeared on Yuan Enhui's perpetually icy face. Though fleeting, it was as stunning as a brief, ephemeral bloom. The opportunity for revenge had arrived.

Le Zhengyu sneered inwardly, the thought of revenge instantly taking over.

He took a deep breath, and with all his might, in a loud voice that could be heard clearly throughout half the cafeteria, he encouraged Xie Xie, who was still immersed in excitement:
"Xie Xie, you'd better work harder and strive to achieve your great goal as soon as possible! I believe in you!!"

He paused deliberately, and only after successfully drawing the curious gazes of all the surrounding students, including Yuan En Ye Hui and her best friend, to Xie Xie did he shout out the most crucial sentence in a more melodious and sincere tone:
"You'll have to train hard to catch up with our class monitor, hahaha! I really think you can make her look at you in a new light. Keep it up!"

Le Zhengyu's earth-shattering blessing was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake.

The entire cafeteria fell into an eerie silence.

All the students who were eating, chatting, or walking around froze in their tracks.

Countless gazes, filled with shock, curiosity, amusement, and anticipation, all focused on Xie Xie, who remained in an excited posture at the dining table.

Xie Xie's smile froze instantly, his mind going completely blank.

He could clearly feel the temperature on his face soaring like a rocket, turning red all the way from the base of his neck to the tips of his ears, and even the strands of hair seemed to be steaming.

He stiffly turned his neck, his gaze falling on Yue Zhengyu, who was gloating and laughing so hard his shoulders were shaking.

"Yue Zhengyu!!!"

Xie Xie was about to say something when his gaze fell upon a figure at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Yuan Enhui stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, wearing a black fitted dress that accentuated her perfect curves, paired with black stockings that showed off her long, beautiful legs.

At this moment, Yuan Enhui stopped in her tracks. The smile on her face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a mixture of astonishment, coldness, and anger at being publicly offended.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xie Xie, who was frozen in place, and the air around them seemed to freeze because of the low pressure she exuded.

Her best friend, the gentle girl standing next to her, also covered her mouth in surprise. She looked at Xie Xie, then at the class monitor whose mood had suddenly dropped, her big eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of gossipy excitement.
After being targeted by the original owner of the body, Xie Xie felt like a monkey nailed to a pillar of shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.

Le Zhengyu's exaggerated laughter sounded particularly jarring and irritating in the deathly silent cafeteria.

Lu Jun silently picked up his water glass and took a sip. His gaze swept over Xie Xie, who was filled with shame and indignation, Le Zhengyu, who was smug, and Yuan Enyehui, who exuded a chilling aura in the distance. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he uttered two words in a low voice:

"lively."

Long Chen swallowed hard, looking at Xie Xie who seemed to want to explode on the spot, and then at the icy blades and frost swords that seemed to materialize in the eyes of the ice queen in the distance. He whispered in lingering fear, "I agree with you."

"This is more than just lively, it's like a hellish start."

He seemed to have already foreseen that Xie Xie would have to endure the miserable life of being stared at by the class monitor's death stare when he trained under Lu Jun in the future.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yuan Enhui did not react much, as if she was already used to such public confessions.

She seemed to realize that Xie Xie was also on the list of genius teenagers, so she nodded slightly, stopped lingering, and walked away arm in arm with her equally surprised best friend.
