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

Chapter 379 The two were honest with each other and reached an alliance.

Gu Yuena cupped Lu Jun's face in her hands again, forcing him to look into her eyes. Her tone suddenly became forceful, carrying an undeniable declaration:

“Listen, Lu Jun. I can… I can ignore Di Yue, and I can temporarily ignore those two in your sea of ​​consciousness. But—”

She paused, then emphasized:

"I have to be the biggest! Understand? That's the bottom line!"

Seeing Gu Yuena suddenly become so assertive and direct, Lu Jun felt completely overwhelmed and said helplessly:

"Wait...when did we become like this? When did I agree to be your...your...you know? Isn't this moving a little too fast?"

"You...you don't want to?" Upon hearing his words, Gu Yuena's eyes flickered for a moment, and her original domineering aura dissipated as quickly as a punctured balloon, replaced by a cautious sense of grievance and unease.

She subconsciously released her grip on Lu Jun's cheeks, her voice lowering, tinged with self-doubt and panic:

"Was it...was my approach too harsh, making you uncomfortable? Or do you actually have a problem with me? Don't you like me? You...you can tell me...I'll change..."

Her sudden, almost humble change in attitude completely baffled Lu Jun.

Wait, the art style changed way too fast!
Just a moment ago, the Silver Dragon King was asserting his dominance, but how did he suddenly turn into a pitiful little girl who was afraid of being abandoned?
Why does this make it seem like he's the one who bullied her?
The contrast is too great!

Why does Gu Yuena seem so young?

"I'm sorry... it was my fault." Seeing that Lu Jun still didn't speak, Gu Yuena became even more uneasy. She lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping down to cover the disappointment in her eyes.

"I didn't ask for your opinion, and... I took your first kiss... It was disrespectful of me..."

Although... that's how I lost my first kiss...

She added a sentence to herself, but then thought of it again:

But Lu Jun is the spirit of a divine artifact, even though he has now been restored to human form...

However, in terms of his prime, his level was probably far above mine, perhaps even reaching the level of a fully-formed dragon god.

Am I being too offensive?

Will he think I'm trying to climb the social ladder?
At this moment, Gu Yuena subconsciously began to weigh the pros and cons using her mindset as the ruler of all soul beasts.

Although she lived for an incredibly long time, she spent the vast majority of her time in a deep sleep, with very limited time spent truly awake and communicating with people.

Her psychological age and emotional experience are far beyond what she has lived for, and she is a complete blank slate when it comes to relationships.

She only knew that she really liked the feeling of security, warmth, and excitement she felt when she was close to Lu Jun, but she had no idea how to properly express and handle this unfamiliar emotion.

Strictly speaking, Lu Jun was indeed the first human that Gu Yuena developed feelings for.

This feeling and meaning is like how a soul beast, upon birth, considers the beings it sees as its biological parents.

Therefore, at this moment, Lu Jun truly embodies all of Gu Yuena's feelings for humanity.

Although Gu Yuena didn't know how to express it...

Looking at her cautious and even somewhat afraid-of-being disliked appearance, Lu Jun finally realized this belatedly.

This powerful Silver Dragon King may be as naive as a blank sheet of paper when it comes to emotions, and may even be somewhat clumsy and insecure.

The helplessness and slight resistance in his heart vanished almost instantly, replaced by a strange tenderness and sense of responsibility.

Lu Jun quickly waved his hand, his tone softening:
"No, no, don't do this. I don't care. In fact, strictly speaking, I'm the one who's benefiting the most. Anyway, I've agreed to your request. Allies are allies, and we'll fight side by side. You don't need to be so afraid and aggrieved..." Since the other person is already so aggrieved, what else can be done?

She agreed.

In any case, it has now been confirmed that Gu Yuena did not have any ill intentions towards him.

Forming an alliance with a soul beast would be extremely beneficial to his current situation.

Putting aside the fact that there are so many hidden god-level powerhouses on the continent, Gu Yuena's strength as a first-level god who can fight against god-kings is enough to protect him and allow him to roam freely on the continent.

Furthermore, Gu Yuena now possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, allowing her to transform into the complete Dragon God at any time to provide backup...

Hey, you've managed to latch onto someone powerful!

Comfortable~
"You said yes? Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing Lu Jun's affirmative reply, the gloom in Gu Yuena's eyes vanished instantly, and joy and excitement shone like sunshine on her face. She almost jumped for joy, her purple eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, a meaningful smile, tinged with shyness yet boldness, appeared on her stunning face. She leaned down again, closer to Lu Jun, her voice becoming soft and ambiguous:
"That's great! Now that we're best friends, the time ahead... is going to be long~ Lu-kun, what do you think we should do to celebrate how our relationship has grown?"

She emphasized the name "Lu Jun" deliberately, which made Lu Jun's scalp tingle and his body tense up instantly.

"Wait, wait, I... I don't have any strength right now, really..."

Lu Jun tried to struggle, his voice carrying a hint of pleading.

He's truly powerless now.

However, Gu Yuena simply gazed at him with a smile, her deep purple eyes seemingly swirling with an irresistible allure and dominance.

"It's okay~"

She spoke softly, her fingertips gently tracing Lu Jun's cheek.

"Lu Jun just needs to lie down."

"Leave the rest to me."

"Let me try the method I learned online."

"..."

What exactly do you look at when you surf the internet?!

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the corridor through the gaps in the hotel curtains. A clear, rhythmic knocking broke the silence, and Wu Changkong's signature cool voice came from outside:

"Everyone, gather in the lobby downstairs in ten minutes. We'll have lunch and then prepare to return to Mingdu."

The people in the room were gradually awakened, rubbing their sleepy eyes as they began to tidy up.

When everyone gathered in the hotel lobby, they witnessed a surprising scene.

Lu Jun actually came out of Gu Yuena's room!
Moreover, he looked extremely bad. He was listless, with dark circles under his eyes, and his steps were unsteady and weak, as if all his energy had been drained away. He looked exactly like a wilted cabbage after being hit by frost.
