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

Chapter 454 Leng Yaozhu's inner conflict has been resolved, and Bingdi and Leng Yaozhu have a good relationship?

Under Lu Jun's steady heartbeat and gentle comforting words, especially enveloped by the cool and tranquil aura surrounding him, Leng Yaozhu's heartstrings, which had been taut for many years, finally relaxed completely.

The emotions that had been building up for so long poured out like a flood. She sobbed softly in his arms, and finally let down all her guard and strength, falling into a deep sleep.

Finally, in her deep sleep, her face was peaceful and serene, with even a faint, happy smile on her lips, as if she had finally found a safe haven to rely on.

Lu Jun looked down at Leng Yaozhu, who was fast asleep in his arms, and gently tidied the slightly messy hair on her forehead. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

It was during this deep, relaxed, and peaceful sleep that Leng Yaozhu's long-standing emotional knots, formed over the years due to Yun Ming and past events, quietly melted away.

Her soul power flowed naturally, breaking through the final barrier and reaching the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Even more remarkably, under the subtle influence of Lu Jun's extreme icy aura originating from the Ice Abyss Sword, the extreme ice catalyzed the extreme fire. The Heavenly Phoenix True Fire inherited within her body also underwent a fundamental transformation, with the core of the flame condensing and sublimating into a true, pure, and unadulterated extreme fire!

Inside the ice cave, Leng Yaozhu, fast asleep, was unconsciously enveloped in a golden-red halo. The flames were pure and intense, yet no longer possessed any sense of violence.

Instead, it was filled with a warm and powerful aura of rebirth, which complemented the newly formed Limit Douluo Soul Core within her body.

Lu Jun sensed the powerful aura emanating from her, which gradually increased and eventually stabilized. He smiled slightly and carefully adjusted her position to make her more comfortable.

In the absolute zero of the far north restricted zone, the two people, one sitting and one lying down, created a tranquil and warm scene.

……

The warmth of memories and the tranquility of the ice cave faded away, and consciousness refocused on the smoothly moving Soul Guided Car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Leng Yaozhu's pretty face flushed uncontrollably, and the blush spread rapidly, even turning her delicate earlobes and snow-white neck bright red, like a ripe peach.

She never expected that she would be so... bold and unguarded, and actually cry herself to sleep in Lu Jun's arms!
This is simply... utterly inappropriate!

Where is even a trace of the majesty of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, the Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Head of the Leng Family?
However, deep down, I couldn't help but reminisce about the feeling of that moment.

Lu Jun's body seemed to be a precious treasure nurtured by heaven and earth. Holding him was not like embracing a block of ice, but rather like naturally nestling on a jade pillow with a constant temperature and a cool fragrance in the sweltering heat of summer. The feeling of complete comfort and peace of mind was intoxicating.

Just as her mind was in turmoil, the space in the back seat of the car rippled slightly, and two stunningly beautiful figures quietly appeared.

Dressed in a white gown, the Snow Empress, with an aloof and pure demeanor like a snow lotus, sat gracefully to one side. Her icy blue eyes glanced indifferently at Leng Yaozhu, whose face was flushed, and Lu Jun, who appeared to be sitting upright but whose ears were actually slightly red. Her tone was flat and straightforward, yet it carried a hint of barely perceptible teasing:

"When you two were deep in the restricted area, I didn't dare to show myself and disturb you."

"Even in just a few moments of watching from the sidelines, I was still fed a mouthful of... well, in human terms, dog food?"

"I...I didn't! Your Majesty, Snow Empress, you mustn't be talking nonsense!"

Leng Yaozhu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up from the driver's seat. Her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly retorted, her voice trembling with embarrassment and anger.

On the other side, Hyotei, now a girl in a green dress, grinned and leaned over from the gap in the front seat, hugging Leng Yaozhu's neck from behind and affectionately nuzzling her cheek.
"Oh, what's there to be shy about! I should be thanking you properly. If it weren't for your help, how could my contract with Lu Jun have gone so smoothly? Besides..."

Hyotei abruptly changed the subject, her large eyes blinking mischievously, and her voice rising an octave:
"Based on my long-term and in-depth observation and understanding of Lu Jun, he has a thing for mature women. Look at you, Leng Yaozhu, you have the strength, the figure, and the temperament. You are mature, beautiful, and powerful. You perfectly meet his ultimate needs, don't you think, Lu Jun?"

"Pfft-cough cough cough!"

Lu Jun, who was drinking water, almost spat it all onto the windshield. He was choked by those words and his face turned red. He felt like he was about to die.

He suddenly turned around, reached out and pinched Hyotei's soft, bouncy cheeks, pulling them forcefully to both sides:
"What nonsense are you spouting?! Who discusses their own fantasies in front of them?! Hyotei! Are you asking for a beating?!"

"Ouch—it hurts! Leng Yaozhu, you have to do something about him! Your student is bullying a spirit!"

Hyotei immediately cried out in pain, yelling and begging Leng Yaozhu for help. Leng Yaozhu glared at Lu Jun, then slapped his mischievous hand away.

"Okay, be gentle, don't bully your spirit."

She paused, then added with a hint of surprise:
"However, although Hyotei is now coexisting with you, it seems to have completely retained its original form and independence. It seems that the contract has been a perfect success."

Lu Jun rubbed his reddened hand, staring dumbfounded at Leng Yaozhu and Bingdi, who had suddenly formed a united front:
"Wait a minute! It's only been a short while. Why are you already protecting her, Teacher? When did you two become so close?"

Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a sly smile, like a triumphant fox:

"Don't you know? Friendships between women can be formed very quickly."

"Just like you men, sometimes all you need is a common topic or hobby to become brothers in the shortest amount of time."

Lu Jun: "..."

He was speechless.

Hyotei seemed to really like Rei Yuuki, and hugged her tightly with a grin, sighing:
"Hehe, this soul contract invented by humans is so useful! My original body is still here, which means I can unleash my full power at any time!"

“That’s natural.” Leng Yaozhu nodded and explained, “That’s why I strongly advised you not to easily hand over your soul bones to Lu Jun for fusion.”

She looked at Lu Jun, her gaze becoming serious:

"As long as the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor can maintain their full strength, once your forging skills improve to the level of a Saint Craftsman or even a Divine Craftsman, you will be able to forge three- or four-word battle armor tailored to their soul beasts. And that's with the amplification from the Ice Abyss Sword..."

A light shone in Leng Yaozhu's eyes:

"At that time, the strength that the two of them can unleash will be infinitely close to the god level. This is far more worthwhile than merging the soul bones into Lu Jun's body in exchange for that meager improvement that is nothing to him."

"His foundation is already at the god level. Your power can only support a brief god-level burst at most, which is of little significance to him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but give Leng Yaozhu a thumbs up:
"Brilliant, teacher, you are truly brilliant. I never even thought of that. If I had followed my usual thinking, I probably would have agreed to the integration."

Indeed, Leng Yaozhu's analysis was spot on.

He himself can use god-level power, and the soul bone energy of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor has limited effect on him. It would be better to maximize their own combat power and make them reliable right-hand men.

This world is not like the original story, where only the soul and bones are supreme.

If Lu Jun's current power is like a 100-liter water bottle, then this water bottle only contains 2 or 3 liters of power, enough to unleash god-level power two or three times.

As for the combined amount of the soul bones of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, it probably wouldn't even replenish 1 liter, and would instead weaken their overall strength.

With the Ice Abyss Sword amplifying them, and with the future enhancement of their battle armor, the two women will definitely possess god-level power to assist Lu Jun.

It has to be said that Leng Yaozhu was right; even Lu Jun hadn't expected that.

Instead of increasing Lu Jun's soul power cultivation under normal circumstances, it would be better to push the two women to the god level as well.

At this stage, what Lu Jun lacks most is time and help.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor are undoubtedly his best helpers, as they are ice-attribute and are the easiest to fully benefit from the Ice Abyss Sword's amplification.
