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

Chapter 399 Xie Xie: "I will definitely come back!"

Upon hearing that Qian Gu Zhang Ting had been suppressed, Le Zhengyu was clearly in a very good mood and said with a smile:

"By the way, good news! The academy has given all of us team members who participated in this exchange competition a two-month vacation. What are your plans?"

"Of course we're going home, back to Donghai City!" Xie Xie was the first to respond, then looked at Xu Xiaoyan beside him, "Xiaoyan, shall we go back to Donghai City with Boss Wu Lin? It's been so long since we've been back."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded obediently, her face filled with anticipation:

"Sure, I'm fine. It's just that I haven't been home in a long time."

She then added with some concern:

"However, I haven't seen Wu Lin much lately. He's been training too hard."

"Ahem." Le Zhengyu coughed lightly twice, a smug look on his face.

"I recently traded a batch of rare metals with him. I have to say, this guy is truly gifted in forging; he'll definitely be a master craftsman in the future."

He turned to look at Yuanen Yehui and Long Chen opposite him:
What about you? What are your plans for the holiday?

Yuan Enhui seemed to pause for a moment before whispering:

"I also need to go home."

Long Chen, on the other hand, seemed much more excited:
"Haha, me too! I have to go home!"

"We defeated Shrek Academy! Shouldn't we go back and brag to our families? Just thinking about it makes me feel great."

"Speaking of which, me too." Le Zhengyu straightened his back proudly, a bright smile on his face. "Hehe, now when I go back, those old fogies in the family will definitely have nothing to say. This young master is definitely the designated next head of the Le family!"

"Wow, Le Zhengyu, you're going to be a big shot!" Xie Xie immediately cheered. "Don't forget about us brothers who went through thick and thin together!"

“Of course!” Yue Zhengyu proudly raised his chin. “If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you.”

After showing off, he looked at Lu Jun, who hadn't said much:
"Captain, what about you? What are your plans for your two-month vacation?"

Just as Lu Jun was about to answer, Xie Xie spoke first, deliberately using a high-pitched, affected voice to mimic Lu Jun's tone, saying in a strange, affected manner:
"Oh dear~ These past two months, of course I've been going on dates with our beautiful Gu Yueyuan~ spending some sweet time together~"

"..." Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's forehead instantly became covered with black lines, and he was just about to give this itchy-skinned guy a good whack on the head.

However, before he could even make a move, a cold voice, carrying a hint of danger, rang out beside their table:

"Xie Xie, you seem to... really like gossip?"

Xie Xie's smug smile froze instantly. As if his pressure points had been abruptly pressed, he mechanically and slowly turned his head to look at Gu Yuena, who had somehow appeared behind him with a tray of food.

Gu Yuena's pretty face was expressionless, her purple eyes calmly looking at him, yet Xie Xie felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

"Sister Gu Yue..."

Xie Xie's facial muscles twitched, forcing out an awkward smile that looked worse than crying.

"Um, so you were here. I... I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please, please don't... don't knock me away again..."

Gu Yuena placed her plate expressionlessly on the empty seat next to Lu Jun, then slowly stretched her wrists.

"Oh? So you're begging me to beat you up?"

She tilted her head, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Alright then, since you've made such a sincere request."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuena suddenly raised her hand.

No one even saw how she moved; an invisible, immense force instantly acted upon Xie Xie.

"Whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Xie Xie let out a series of terrified screams, his whole body flying out of the open window of the cafeteria in a graceful parabola, like a cannonball being launched.

"I will definitely come back!!!" Only his pitiful yet inexplicably funny shouts still echoed in the cafeteria.

"Pfft-hahaha!"

"Pfft!"

"Xie Xie, that guy... haha!"

There was a moment of silence at the table, followed by a burst of unrestrained laughter from Le Zhengyu, Long Chen, and Xu Xiaoyan. Even Yuan Enyehui couldn't help but let a slight smile creep onto his face.

Lu Jun watched Xie Xie disappear through the window, shook his head helplessly, and then naturally placed a delicious-looking custard bun from his plate onto Gu Yuena's plate.

Gu Yuena glanced at him without saying a word, but her slightly reddened ears betrayed her current mood.

She picked up the custard bun and began to eat it in small bites.

The cafeteria was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Except for that guy who just flew out.

……

The cafeteria gradually emptied out, the noise subsided, and only a few students remained, slowly eating their breakfast.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm dappled patterns on the table.

Lu Jun patiently stayed with Gu Yuena, watching her devour the food on her plate with small bites, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster storing food, which was inexplicably cute.

He couldn't help but smile and asked:
"By the way, the academy is having a two-month-long break. What are your plans? Are you going back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Gu Yuena swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, took a sip of milk to smooth it out, and then answered vaguely:

"Hmm, where else can we go? Either go back to Xingdou to see Di Tian and the others, or continue to cultivate in the academy. Anyway, there's nothing particularly urgent right now."

She raised her purple eyes and looked at Lu Jun.

"And you? What are you going to do?"

“I’m already level 50,” Lu Jun said. “I plan to go to the far north, and I estimate it will take about two months to come back.”

"The far north?" Gu Yuena's eyes lit up slightly, seemingly intrigued. "I've heard it's very special there, all ice and snow. How about... I go with you? I'm just staying here anyway."

Her tone carried a hint of expectation.

"Can we go together?"

Lu Jun was somewhat puzzled. Could the approval process for the Spirit Pagoda be so easy?

“Sure!” Gu Yuena nodded. “When you submit your application, just include me, okay? Just say it’s… um, classmates helping each other and getting experience together!”

She thought she had come up with a very good reason.

"Well... you'll have to ask the teacher first, I can't make that decision myself," Lu Jun said honestly.

"Oh, right." Gu Yuena immediately put down her chopsticks, took out her soul-guided communicator, and dialed Leng Yaozhu's number directly.

The communication was quickly established, and Gu Yuena obediently explained her desire to go to the far north with Lu Jun.

However, Leng Yaozhu's stern voice immediately came from the other end of the communication:
"No, absolutely not, Nana. You're at the golden age for soul power cultivation right now; building a solid foundation is the most important thing. The far north has a harsh environment and is a long journey. What good would that do you? It would be a complete waste of time!"

"Stay in the academy and cultivate diligently. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

Under Leng Yaozhu's unquestionable reprimand, Gu Yuena's face fell. She looked at Lu Jun with a wronged expression and weakly replied into the communicator, "Oh... I understand, teacher," before helplessly hanging up the call.

"See? I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Lu Jun slowly picked up the flower tea next to him and took a sip, as if he had expected it.
