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

Chapter 265 Lu Jun's identity is exposed, and the entire internet is in an uproar?
The moment Lu Jun withdrew his hand, he suddenly realized how abrupt his actions had been.

The delicate, warm touch seemed to linger on his fingertips.

An unprecedented and unfamiliar feeling of excitement quietly swept through his heart, making him feel a rare sense of panic.

The feel is really good.

The thought popped up uncontrollably, startling him. He immediately suppressed it, trying to maintain a calm facade, but a faint blush crept onto his ears.

"Let's go, let's go."

Gu Yuena suddenly lowered her head, her voice barely audible, almost as if squeezed from her throat.

She stood up hurriedly, not daring to look at Lu Jun again.

The two walked out of the restaurant one after the other, rejoining the bustling night scene of Mingdu.

After eating and drinking my fill, I felt a little lost for a moment.

They had no specific destination; they simply walked side by side unconsciously, letting the neon lights flow over them.

“So…” Lu Jun broke the somewhat awkward silence, turning his head to look at Gu Yuena beside him, who was looking down as if she wanted to shrink into the ground. His lips twitched involuntarily. “You specifically asked me to come out with you just to… have a lavish meal with you?”

He was genuinely a bit confused.

The girl in front of me, who blushes easily and whose intelligence seems to have been devoured along with the food, is completely different from the calm, wise, and elementally savvy Gu Yuena.

Is this the true nature of the Silver Dragon King, who has shed the burden of reviving the soul beasts and begun to truly integrate into the human world?
The contrast is too great.

"Uh, I, I..."

Gu Yuena raised her head and met Lu Jun's gaze, which was filled with obvious confusion and inquiry. The wet cotton in her mind seemed to have absorbed water again, becoming even heavier and more chaotic.

Yeah, what am I supposed to do?

Should I just lay my cards on the table and say, "I know you're the wielder of the divine artifact, let's cooperate to fight against the divine realm?"
No no no!

Since he chose to hide it, he must have his reasons. Rashly exposing it might backfire and even make him wary.

What should we do then?
A huge sense of frustration welled up inside me.

She, the mighty Silver Dragon King, truly doesn't understand human social interaction!
Humans are so troublesome; things are far less direct between soul beasts.

Or should we take Xiong Jun's suggestion and just knock him out and take him back?

Wait, won't this make him think we have malicious intentions towards him?
The more Gu Yuena thought about it, the more confused she became.

She felt the world starting to spin before her eyes.

If you asked her to kill someone, to do something to someone, Gu Yuena confidently said that she could do it with ease, as long as she had hands.

But when it comes to socializing, she's really not good at it!

Murasaki, help!

Please help me!
At this moment, Gu Yuena missed her mentor terribly.

So she hurriedly pulled out a communicator from her storage soul tool, her fingers flying across the screen as she sent a jumbled SOS message to Zi Ji:

"I've completed step two, but I'm stuck on step three. What should I do? How should I tell him? I need help urgently!!!"

Lu Jun: "???"

He watched as Gu Yuena suddenly pulled out her communicator and frantically tapped the screen, her adorable, blank expression as if she had encountered a catastrophe and was completely absorbed in her own world. This almost materialized Lu Jun's confusion.

He truly, truly couldn't fathom the Silver Dragon King's thought process at all.

Gu Yuena waited anxiously for a few seconds, but there was no response from the other end of the communicator, like a stone sinking into the sea. She was so anxious that she almost wanted to scratch the screen with her claws.

Looking up, Gu Yuena found Lu Jun still looking at her with that kind of caring gaze, as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities. Gu Yuena instantly felt a surge of heat rush to her face again.

Calm down, Gu Yuena. You are the Silver Dragon King. Show the aura you had when you ruled over all the beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!

She frantically tried to bolster her courage, suppressing her panic, taking a deep breath, and straining her facial expression to make herself look serious.

She stopped and turned to Lu Jun, her purple eyes gleaming strangely under the light, her voice deliberately lowered:
"Lu Jun... By the way, how much do you know about the true history of Douluo Continent?"

Lu Jun was slightly taken aback, not expecting the topic to suddenly jump to this.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"The official historical archives are under very strict control and are at a very high level. The versions circulating in the market for the general public are often inaccurate, with much of the key information being obscured or even altered."

He paused, then said frankly:

"With my current status and authority, I am not yet able to access those long-forgotten truths."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

She leaned forward slightly, getting a little closer, and blinked her clear purple eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings:

"Is that so? Well then, would you like to take a look at my family's book collection?"

“My family… well, we have some very old records passed down from our ancestors. The things recorded in them are much more detailed and closer to the truth than those deceptive official versions.”

She paused, observing Lu Jun's reaction, and then continued:
"For example... do you know about dragons? The real dragons. Not those mixed-blooded sub-dragons or earth dragons... but the dragons that once soared through the heavens, ruled the land and the sea, and even contended with the gods."

Deep within those silvery-purple pupils, it seemed as if an ancient galaxy was swirling.

At this moment, the lofty soul belonging to the Silver Dragon King, overlooking eternity, subtly projected a trace of real and heavy majesty through the girl's delicate shell.

The moonlight, as white as frost, fell upon the two of them, casting their long shadows across the bustling streets of Mingdu.

Gu Yuena's pupils instantly turned into vertical pupils, staring straight at Lu Jun.

They seemed to be waiting for his answer.

However, just as Lu Jun's thin lips parted slightly, about to utter the first syllable...

"Ding-a-ling-ding-a-ling--"

A piercing and urgent ringtone from the soul communication device abruptly shattered the heavy atmosphere that had just begun to build between the two.

Gu Yuena's delicate eyebrows furrowed instantly, her displeasure at being interrupted clearly written on her face.

She looked down at the vibrating communicator on her wrist; the name flashing on the screen was Zi Ji.

Why are they calling at this time?
I just sent you a message, but you're not replying...

Could something have happened?
A surge of irritation welled up inside her, and she was about to answer the call and tell Ziji not to bother her when her finger just swiped to the answer button.

"My lord! Something terrible has happened!!"

On the other end of the communicator, Zi Ji's voice lost its usual composure, carrying an unprecedented urgency, shock, and even a hint of panic.

"The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy jointly issued an emergency notice to the entire continent."

"They claim, they claim that Lu Jun is not human at all! He is, he is a being formed from a divine artifact, a human boy disguised as a spirit of a divine artifact with self-awareness!"

"Right now... right now the entire online discourse has completely exploded!!"
