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

Chapter 286 Auspicious Beast: "Wow, you have so much luck on you!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Miss." Lu Jun did not refuse, knowing that refusing at this moment would only make him seem guilty or pretentious.

He solemnly extended both hands and took the small jade bottle from the Red King's hands.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, as if you are holding a concentrated source of life. The emerald green liquid inside the bottle seems to flow slowly as if it were alive.

Leng Yulai quickly bowed again, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss."

However, the moment Lu Jun took the jade bottle and his fingertips touched the warm, smooth jade, Di Yue's usually calm and indifferent vertical pupils suddenly lit up.

In an instant, it was as if two small suns were ignited in the ward.

The formulaic indifference on her face melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, replaced by an undisguised surprise and excitement, as if she had discovered a priceless treasure!
"Wow--!"

Di Yue even let out a small gasp, which was very different from her previous image. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes sparkling, staring intently at Lu Jun, as if she wanted to see through him inside and out.

"You possess... such a great deal of luck!"

Her voice was filled with pure amazement and a joy of discovering her kind, all the previous sense of alienation vanished, and her tone became lively.

"It's shining brightly, like a small sun, with a much denser aura than many Title Douluos. It seems that not only is your talent ridiculously good, but your luck is also incredibly good!"

This sudden change made the atmosphere in the ward instantly eerie.

One second she was a cold and noble imperial beast, the next she seemed to have turned into a girl next door who had discovered a new and interesting toy.

The corner of Red King's mouth, hidden behind his sunglasses, twitched almost imperceptibly, but he remained silent as always.

Lu Jun felt extremely uncomfortable under Di Yue's scorching gaze, which seemed to set him on fire. His hand holding the jade bottle froze.

Leng Yulai was also taken aback, completely unexpected that this supreme young lady would have such a lively side.

"Uh... Miss, you flatter me." Lu Jun could only give a dry reply.

"Not at all overrated!"

Di Yue seemed completely oblivious to the inappropriateness of her actions, instead becoming even more enthusiastic and even moving closer with a touch of familiarity, her molten gold vertical pupils gleaming with excitement.

"Hey, Lu Jun, I feel like we'd definitely get along. People with strong luck might end up together, who knows what interesting things might happen? Come on, let's exchange contact information? I'll add you on SoulNet!"

As she spoke, she naturally pulled out a personal communicator inlaid with tiny soul guide crystals and exquisitely designed. She looked at Lu Jun expectantly, her fingers already tapping the add friend interface. Her movements were fluid and graceful, as if she had rehearsed it countless times.

"..."

Lu Jun stared at the communicator screen handed to him, then at Di Yue's smiling face filled with anticipation and sunshine, her words "Give me your account now!" He was speechless for a moment, and an extremely embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

It doesn't match her icy goddess image at all.

"I'm sorry, miss," Lu Jun said in a forced, somewhat embarrassed voice, "I... I've never opened an account online."

This is the truth.

He spends most of his time cultivating and has no interest in soul-guided online social networking.

I've had enough of surfing the internet in my past life. Why bother again in this one?
He's been given such a great opportunity to cultivate and become stronger; it would be crazy not to cherish it.

"what?"

Di Yue froze instantly, her sunny smile vanished, replaced by an exaggerated expression of shock, as if she had heard something out of a fairy tale.

Her vertical pupils widened, her small mouth slightly open, looking at Lu Jun, then at the communicator in her hand, as if to confirm whether she had misheard.

"Really?" Di Yue's voice rose a octave, filled with disbelief. "You don't usually surf the internet? Don't you check Soul Blog? Don't you read Soul News? Don't you watch short videos? Don't you play games? Don't you frequent forums?"

She counted on her fingers, and with each item she mentioned, the shock on her face deepened.

"My God, how have you survived this long? You're incredibly disciplined! You're practically a Puritan of the cultivation world!"

She seemed to have discovered some rare species, taking a small step around Lu Jun's hospital bed, looking him up and down, and clicking her tongue in amazement:

"You know, with your handsome face, talent, and luck, everything you do should go smoothly. Why don't you cherish the power of your luck?"

"If you open an account and just post some everyday things, your follower count will break 100 million in no time, crushing all other Soul Master influencers and making you the top influencer in the Douluo Continent! This is an extremely important source of personal influence and resources!"

Di Yue became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes almost sparkling like tiny stars. She suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea, and excitedly suggested:

"Hey, how about this? You have no experience, so I'll help you. I'll set up an account for you and make sure it's a great success. I've even thought of a name: 'One Sword Frosts Fourteen Provinces,' how about it? Or 'Lord of the Ice Abyss'?"

"Powerful and mysterious, absolutely captivating, guaranteed to make you the face of the Spirit Pagoda, making those sour chickens from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy furious. How about it? Consider it?"

She blinked her expectant vertical pupils, leaning slightly forward like a small animal waiting to be fed. She had completely lost her previous aloofness, leaving only pure, energetic enthusiasm and a hint of salesperson's persistence.

Lu Jun: "..."

Leng Yulai: "..."

Red King: "..."

The Red King's eyes behind his sunglasses seemed even more indifferent, as if he had become accustomed to his master's intermittent tantrums.

Getting used to it is enough.

An eerie silence filled the ward, broken only by Di Yue's vibrant voice and the awkward staring between Lu Jun and Leng Yulai.

Leng Yulai suppressed the urge to facepalm, looking at the Emperor Beast in front of her whose style had suddenly changed and who was enthusiastically promoting the account, and then at Lu Jun who looked utterly hopeless and wanted to bury himself in the blanket. Only one thought remained in her mind:
Is this hospital room even safe to stay in?
Looking at Di Yue's expectant eyes and the communicator in her hand that was ready to help him register an account at any time, Lu Jun felt a headache coming on.

He tried to resist with silence and an awkward smile, but Di Yue was clearly not one to give up so easily.

She's like a child who's discovered a new toy; she won't give up until she gets what she wants.

Finally, under Di Yue's relentless offensive and Leng Yu Lai's suggestive glances that urged her to agree quickly to avoid trouble, Lu Jun reluctantly gave in and nodded in despair.

"Okay, okay... could you please make one for me?"
