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

Leng Yaozhu Villa, inside the bedroom.

Lu Jun's consciousness returned to his body like a tide.

Before he had fully opened his eyes, in the instant his soul and body reunited, he heard two suppressed, shy cries.

"He... how did he get back so quickly?!"

This is the voice of Hyotei, filled with the guilt of being caught doing something wrong.

"Shh—! What's the panic! Quickly...act like nothing's wrong!"

This was Xue Di's voice. Although she tried to remain calm, a hint of barely perceptible panic could be heard.

Immediately following was a rustling, slightly hurried sound of clothes being tidied up.

Lu Jun, puzzled, slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view were the two emperors of ice and snow standing by the bed, seemingly having just hurriedly tidied their appearance.

Hyotei's pretty face flushed, her eyes darting around, she didn't dare to meet his gaze at all, and her small hands nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Although Xue Di tried her best to maintain her usual aloof and noble appearance, there was still a lingering blush on her equally beautiful face, and her gaze was slightly lowered, as if she was studying the texture of the floor.

Seeing Lu Jun open his eyes, Xue Di took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm as she spoke:

"Welcome back."

However, the voice was less clear and cold than usual, and had a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Lu Jun: "..."

He stared blankly at the two beauties in front of him, who were clearly not in a good mood, especially their guilty and shy appearance. Combining this with the bits and pieces of information he had just heard, an absurd idea popped into his head.

He couldn't help but speak up, his tone inquisitive:
"What...what did you do while I was scouting other places?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked down to check his body.

They were dressed properly, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Lu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed it wasn't the kind of night raid he had imagined.

But... why does my lower body feel a little chilly?
Moreover, my whole body felt warm and comfortable, with an indescribable sense of clarity and ease, as if every cell had been cleansed and nourished by pure energy. This feeling of comfort lingered clearly, silently telling me that something must have just happened.

Upon hearing Lu Jun's question, Hyotei reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, waving its hands repeatedly and denying the allegations incoherently:

"No, no! We didn't do anything! Really! We were just... just honestly protecting the Dharma!"

Xue Di quickly echoed, but her tone only made it more obvious that she was trying to cover it up:

"Hmm... I've been watching her. Bing'er... she's been behaving herself and hasn't done anything..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head even further, trying to hide her embarrassment with silence.

Wait a minute, with her impressively voluptuous figure, she really can't see her toes from this angle...

Lu Jun's gaze swept over the two women, keenly sensing the change in their auras, which only fueled his suspicions:
"Ice Emperor... I feel that your aura is much more condensed than before, and your soul power fluctuations are stronger? And Snow Emperor, you too, your ice attribute origin seems to be purer."

These words were like a fuse that had been lit. Hyotei and Yukiteri suddenly seemed to have their secrets exposed, and they both started coughing violently in an attempt to cover up their embarrassment.

Hyotei's eyes darted around, and in a flash of inspiration, she blurted out: "Well... um... we were acting as your protectors, and the process got a bit boring, so... so we couldn't help... replenishing our mana!"

"Yes! It was to replenish mana! We sparred a bit to improve our cultivation! That's perfectly normal!"

Lu Jun: "..."

Seeing Hyotei's obviously made-up excuse and Yuki-tei's face turning completely red, combined with the strange comfort lingering in her body and their noticeably enhanced aura, even the slow-witted Lu Jun understood.

Oh no! My innocent body was probably assaulted by these two lustful beauties in some special way while my consciousness was out of my body.

Although it wasn't in the traditional sense, it was definitely a great deal.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became incredibly subtle and awkward.

With most of the important business done, Lu Jun spent the next few months in seclusion, a life that many envied.

In Leng Yaozhu's luxurious and spacious villa, he seemed to have become a hands-off manager, enjoying unprecedented peace and being served.

The two stunningly beautiful ice queens, Ice Queen and Snow Queen, seemed to have truly become his exclusive maids and cultivation partners.

The Ice Emperor is lively and playful, sometimes serving tea and water, sometimes pestering Lu Jun to spar with him on ice attribute control, ostensibly to improve together; the Snow Emperor, on the other hand, is aloof and meticulous, silently watching over Lu Jun when he is meditating, occasionally pointing out subtle aspects of his soul power circulation. Although she doesn't say much, her silent care is obvious.

With the close assistance of these two Northern Heavenly Kings, Lu Jun's cultivation can be described as twice as effective with half the effort.

The Qiankun Creation Pill bestowed upon him by Emperor Xu was consumed and refined by him the day after he returned to the villa.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, its powerful yet gentle medicinal force flowing into his limbs and bones like rivers converging into the sea, nourishing his soul core and meridians.

The process was uneventful. After the medicine was fully absorbed, his soul power level naturally rose from level 68 to level 71, officially entering the Soul Saint realm.

Feeling the surge of soul power within him, several times stronger than before, and the clearer resonance between his soul and the elements of heaven and earth, Lu Jun merely curled his lip and commented:
"So-so, at least I broke through the threshold of Soul Saint."

If outsiders knew that he had so easily crossed the chasm that countless soul masters could not overcome in their entire lives, yet still looked down on it, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

On the evening of the day he successfully broke through, Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai returned home from get off work.

When Leng Yaozhu saw the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, she simply smiled gently, clearly already familiar with them.

Leng Yulai stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, her eyes wide. Her gaze darted back and forth between Lu Jun and the two women, before she suddenly slapped her thigh, pointed at Lu Jun, and shouted:
"Well, no wonder! I knew it! From the first time I met you, I always felt there was a faint scent of a girl in your room! So... so you've been keeping a mistress hidden away!"

"And you managed to hide two such beautiful ones at once! Lu Jun, you're something else!"

Lu Jun, Xue Di, Bing Di: "..."

The scene was very embarrassing.

Xue Di felt utterly wronged and couldn't help but whisper a defense:
"I...I was mostly asleep before, I only recently came out..."

Her voice trailed off, tinged with a hint of grievance.

However, after spending a few months together, Leng Yulai's lively and cheerful personality quickly made her one of the best friends of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

Especially when she learned that they were two of the legendary Three Heavenly Kings of the far north, Leng Yulai was amazed. But after the initial surprise, she felt more curious and close to them.

She was especially close to Hyotei, who was also very outgoing. The two often chased and played around in the villa, causing chaos and adding a lot of life to the big house.

In contrast, Lu Jun and Xue Di appeared much more composed, often watching their antics with a sense of helplessness. (End of Chapter)
