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

Chapter 309 Di Tian: "The little guy isn't as cute as he used to be."

Di Yue paused in her munching on the fruit, her crimson eyes turning to Lu Jun with a hint of surprise that quickly transformed into a brighter smile.

She hadn't expected Lu Jun to be so considerate.

"I don't care," Di Yue waved her hand, her smile open and honest. "If you want to see, then see. Don't worry about me. But..."

Her eyes darted around, a sly glint flashing within them:
"If you feel bad about it and want me to watch it with you, that's fine, but I'm afraid I'll get too bored and fall asleep, yawn~"

Lu Jun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Di Yue's "I'm easy to take care of" attitude.

He thought for a moment, then said:

"How about this? Anyway, the computer's built-in screen is pretty big, so let's sit together and watch it in split-screen mode. You can use the left screen, which is closest to you, to continue watching your videos or something else light. I'll use the smaller screen on the right to read this historical record. That way, you won't be bored, and I can watch what I want. What do you think?"

"Huh?" Di Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands in agreement. "Great idea! How come I didn't think of that? This way I can find some good videos or nice songs and share them with you so we can watch and listen together. Let's do it!"

Without further ado, Di Yue and Lu Jun sat down in front of the soul-guided computer.

The left side occupies about two-thirds of the area, displaying the interface of a short video platform that Di Yue is familiar with.

On the right is a clear scan of the pages of that old-fashioned history book.

Di Yue curled up comfortably on the left side of the sofa, hugging a soft cushion, and began to enjoy watching short videos of cute pets, delicious food, and new Soul Guidance Technology products, occasionally letting out a giggle or exclaiming "Wow, this is amazing!"

Lu Jun then sat down on the right side of the sofa, his gaze fixed intently on the screen on the right.

When the image of the ancient book on the screen stabilized, Lu Jun could clearly see the title on the yellowed cover:
Historical Records of Huo Yuhao Ten Thousand Years Ago

"Huo Yuhao..."

Lu Jun murmured the name, a surge of emotion welling up inside him.

To find out why the Federation seals away history, we need to look to Huo Yuhao for the answer.

He had no idea how much his arrival would change.

However... if he could understand how different Huo Yuhao is from the original work, then he should be able to deduce what happened in the past ten thousand years, and thus infer whether the current Abyss Plane still exists, or rather... whether life and destruction have died, and whether the fragments have fallen to Douluo Continent.

This is all very important information.

Hearing Lu Jun's murmur, Di Yue, amidst her busy schedule, shifted her gaze from the left screen, glanced at the book title on the right, pursed her lips, and spoke with a hint of indifference:
"Oh, this book? It's about Huo Yuhao before he became a god, all about fighting, cultivation, and romance. You can read it if you want, but I'm not really into it."

After she finished speaking, her attention returned to a video of a dancing ice crystal beast on the left screen.

These days, even spirit beasts know to make short videos to earn food for themselves.

Lu Jun took a deep breath, composed himself, and focused all his attention on the yellowed pages of the book.

He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the virtual screen, opening this historical record that had been sealed for thousands of years.

As the pages turn, the scent of ink, carrying the dust of history, seems to waft through the screen.

But just as he turned a page, there was a gentle knock on the study door.

Di Yue was laughing so hard she was doubled over from watching a funny video, and without turning her head, she shouted:

"Who is it? Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Di Tian poked his head in, carrying several food boxes that emitted an enticing aroma.

Upon seeing Di Tian enter, Lu Jun almost instinctively swiped his fingers across the virtual screen a few times, quickly closing and exiting the scanned page of "The Historical Record of Huo Yuhao Ten Thousand Years Ago" on the right side of the screen, leaving only a blank standby interface. The movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation.

This rare copy, which Di Tian reluctantly gave away, clearly has an extremely high level of secrecy.

Although Di Tian tacitly allowed Di Yue to possess it, he might not be willing to let a human casually peruse it, especially some parts that might involve secrets from the perspective of soul beasts.

Lu Jun did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble or arouse suspicion at this time.

Moreover, at the dinner table, he tentatively asked Di Tian several times if he could tell the history of ten thousand years ago. Given Di Tian's age, which is like a living fossil, he must know best what exactly happened ten thousand years ago.

He had the best relationship with Huo Yuhao from 10,000 years ago, and must know the whole story.

However, after Lu Jun tried to probe several times, Di Tian remained silent on the matter and even intentionally or unintentionally reminded Lu Jun not to delve into history, so Lu Jun really dared not to probe any further.

They were afraid of angering the Emperor.

"Ahem." Di Tian cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over Di Yue, who was engrossed in watching videos on his left, before landing on Lu Jun on his right.

"I saw you've been watching late into the night and I was worried you'd be hungry, so I bought some human late-night snacks on the way back. Fried chicken wings, grilled spirit beast meat skewers, Mingdu's specialty ice jelly, and grilled fish made using Huo Yuhao's culinary skills—try them."

Upon smelling the fragrance, Di Yue cheered and threw down her communicator, rushing over:
"Wow! Di Tian, ​​you're the best! I was just about to get hungry, and that grilled fish was really delicious! Hehe."

Lu Jun glanced at Di Tian, ​​then at Di Yue, whose face was full of happiness, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This seemingly absurd yet heartwarming night may become an unforgettable and warm memory in his long life.

Soul beasts really do live a very happy life.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that everyone is living a very happy life.

"Hehe, come and eat too, see if there's anything that suits your taste." Di Tian looked at Lu Jun with a kind expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Jun also set his sights on those dozens of grilled fish skewers.

He had been craving this grilled fish for a long time.

Everyone says Huo Yuhao grills fish well, so he wants to try it out.

Di Tian looked at the two of them with a smile, then, in his characteristic tone—a tone that carried both the authority of an elder and a casualness—he gave them a seemingly unintentional instruction:
"Well, you young people can have fun, but remember... well, there are some things that aren't suitable for guests to see, so don't rummage through them, understand, little guy?"

His gaze swept over the soul-guided computer almost imperceptibly.

"Okay, okay," Di Yue said impatiently, waving her little hand as if shooing away a fly, while busy opening the food box. "Di Tian, ​​you're so long-winded. Hurry up and go, don't disturb us while we're having our late-night snack and watching the movie!"

Di Tian: "..."

Looking at Di Yue's disgusted expression, as if she were someone to be used and then discarded, and then at Lu Jun's understanding expression as he tried hard to suppress a laugh, a familiar feeling of frustration welled up in his heart again.

His lips twitched, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly and turn away resignedly.

How could I have fallen for this little guy?
She was so cute before she transformed, how come she's like this now that she's in human society...

Sigh, she's not as cute as she used to be.
