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

Chapter 460 Leng Yulai, the Corporate Slave on the Verge of Sudden Death
"Ah? Oh..."

Leng Yaozhu breathed a sigh of relief from the other end of the communication, her tense emotions visibly relaxing.

"That's good, that's good... I was really scared."

"By the way, where are you now?"

As Lu Jun spoke, he naturally walked towards Leng Yaozhu's office.

Leng Yaozhu's voice was much more relaxed:
"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I just got back to headquarters and am on my way to my office. What about you? Want to come over?"

"Well, I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with, teacher. I'll go over there too."

Lu Jun answered with a smile.

The two walked along, chatting casually through their communicators in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, as if it were just a casual phone call.

Until the clear sound of a door opening came from the other end of the communicator, followed by Leng Yaozhu's soft "Huh?", a familiar voice, filled with deep sorrow and almost crying, suddenly burst forth, piercing through the communicator:
"Sis—!!! Is your vacation finally over?!"

"So you finally decided to come back from that freezing, godforsaken place to see your poor sister?!"

"I'm so exhausted lately!"

"How can your workload be so heavy! I really can't do this lousy job anymore!"

"I never want to work again in my life! No, I never want to work again in eight hundred lifetimes!"

"I want to leave work right now! Immediately! Right now!!!"

"I quit! I really quit!!!"

Who else could that voice be but Leng Yulai's?

Leng Yaozhu's hushed voice came through the communicator immediately:

"Mr. Lu, I'm having a bit of a... situation, I'll hang up now."

"okay."

Lu Jun suppressed a laugh and hung up the call, quickening his pace.

He had just reached the door of Leng Yaozhu's elegantly styled office when he heard even clearer screams coming from inside.

Pushing open the door, the sight that greeted him almost made him burst out laughing.

Leng Yulai was sprawled on her sister's large desk, completely lacking any decorum. Her once beautiful face was now marred by striking dark circles under her eyes, and her gaze was vacant, as if her soul had been ripped away.

She was sobbing uncontrollably as she complained to Leng Yaozhu, who was standing by the desk. The desk was piled high with documents, indicating that she had just been fighting against these "natural enemies."

Looking at her younger sister's appearance, Leng Yaozhu felt both amused and heartbroken, and said helplessly:
"We've only been in the far north for about a month, and you're already done? I still have almost a month of vacation left."

"What?!!"

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Leng Yulai sprang up from the table, her eyes wide and her face filled with despair.

"One more month?!"

"No—!!! Kill me! Sister! Just let me go to the far north to fight ferocious beasts! That's better than dealing with these documents!!"

She felt as if her world had completely collapsed, and everything had turned gray.

"Pfft-hahaha!"

Lu Jun finally couldn't help himself and burst out laughing at Leng Yulai's miserable state, which looked like the end of the world.

The joy of seeing others trapped in the misery of work while you yourself have already escaped it is truly indescribable.

Upon hearing Lu Jun's laughter, Leng Yulai turned her head sharply, as if she had seen a lifeline, and her eyes instantly flashed with an astonishing light.

"Mr. Lu!!"

She yelled and rushed out from behind the desk with lightning speed, like a swallow returning to its nest, she hugged Lu Jun tightly, buried her face in his chest and began to wail:
"Lu Jun! Quickly! Take me away! Please! Save me from this misery!"

"I don't want to work anymore! I really don't want to work anymore, waaaaaah..."

"I feel like I've been working this intensely for a month, and I'm starting to hallucinate!" "Even these files are laughing at me! They can't possibly finish processing them all, waaaaah..."

She hugged him tightly, as if trying to completely merge herself into Lu Jun's body in order to escape reality.

However, Lu Jun's smile vanished instantly.

A unique and alluring fragrance instantly filled his nostrils, but what was even more deadly was that his entire face was almost completely buried by Leng Yulai's incredibly proud ( ).

The soft touch, however, brought with it the crisis of difficulty breathing.

"I...you...quickly...let go...I can't...breathe..."

Lu Jun managed to make a sound, his hands futilely trying to push away a little distance.

I couldn't help but mentally rant:
These two sisters... they really don't skimp on anything that needs to be big.

This scale is downright murder.

Seeing her sister's reckless actions and Lu Jun's near-suffocation, Leng Yaozhu was both amused and annoyed. She quickly stepped forward and forcefully pulled Leng Yulai off Lu Jun.

"Yu Lai, let go! If you keep holding him like this, Lu Jun will really become the first Soul Emperor to suffocate!"

Leng Yulai was pulled away by her sister, still teary-eyed, and still tried to rub against Lu Jun, but under Leng Yaozhu's stern gaze, she could only pout like an abandoned puppy, turning back every few steps, and reluctantly sitting back in that office chair that symbolized pain.

She plopped down, then slumped back as if her bones had been removed, staring blankly at the ornately decorated ceiling, letting out a silent scream, looking utterly hopeless and resigned to her fate.

His appearance was both pitiful and funny. After finally catching his breath, Lu Jun couldn't help but ask:

"Is the workload... really that much? It can't be, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu glared at her younger sister, then explained to Lu Jun:

"Ever since she came into the Spirit Pagoda, she's always been thinking about slacking off and never has the demeanor or sense of responsibility that a branch tower master should have."

“I’m used to this workload, and it’s not too bad to handle. I guess she’s never dealt with such a large amount of work at once in her life, and her mental defenses probably just collapsed.”

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the slumped Leng Yulai with a mocking look:

"It seems I've spoiled her too much before. How about... you help me out more in the future? You'll get the hang of it once you get the hang of it."

"No! Absolutely not! I'd rather die than touch those documents again!"

Leng Yulai seemed to have been stepped on the tail, and instantly jumped up from her chair, protesting loudly and angrily.

"Let whoever wants to do it do it! I, Leng Yulai, would rather starve to death or jump off this cliff than process another document for you!"

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lu Jun and Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem, alright, alright, let's get down to business."

Lu Jun suppressed his smile, cleared his throat, and looked at Leng Yaozhu.

"Teacher, my soul power has now reached level sixty-six. Next, I plan to start making my two-word battle armor. Do you know where Teacher Gu is? I need to ask him for help."

"Huh? Level 66?!"

Before Leng Yaozhu could answer, Leng Yulai, who had just been in a state of near death, jumped up from her chair in shock. She rushed to Lu Jun, her eyes wide, staring at him as if he were a monster, her voice trembling:

"You...you...what did you and my sister do in the far north?! Did you steal some elixir?! How did you level up so fast?! You were only level 50 when you went there, how come you came back at level 66?! This river?! Huh?! Is this even possible?!!"

She simply couldn't understand how someone could jump sixteen levels in a single month.
This isn't just cheating, this is like taking off in a rocket!

Seeing her younger sister's shocked and incoherent expression, Leng Yaozhu slightly raised her delicate chin, elegantly covered her mouth with her hand, a hint of smugness and mockery flashing in her eyes, and sneered:

"What's unreasonable about it? My Lu Jun absorbed a top-tier ferocious beast soul spirit, a 500,000-year-old ferocious beast skull, a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast torso bone, and a 100,000-year-old soul bone of extremely high quality. Isn't it normal for his soul power to have increased to this level?"

She deliberately emphasized the words "my Lu Jun," then gave Leng Yulai, who was completely dumbfounded, a perfect smile that said, "You're making a big fuss over nothing."

"My silly little sister~ She's only been working for a month, and she doesn't even know this much?"
