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

Leng Yaozhu naturally took on the role of head of the family.

She has a gentle and dignified personality, yet she possesses an undeniable air of authority.

Whenever Hyotei and Leng Yulai went too far, or argued endlessly over trivial matters, Leng Yaozhu only needed a glance or a soft rebuke to instantly quiet the scene down.

Whether it's the lawless Hyotei or the spoiled and willful Leng Yulai, they all become as obedient as kittens in front of her.

One evening at dinner time, the long table was filled with delicious dishes prepared by Lu Jun himself, all of which looked and smelled wonderful.

Everyone sat together in a warm atmosphere.

They don't have time to get together for a meal every day.

Both Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai have their own jobs to do.

On this one day, everyone happened to be free to come back, and Lu Jun served as the chef, preparing a sumptuous dinner for everyone to enjoy together.

This is the first time that Xue Di has sat at a human's dining table, ready to enjoy delicious food.

Xue Di carefully picked up a piece of crystal-clear shrimp with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Her beautiful ice-blue eyes widened instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The sweet and chewy texture, along with the rich and layered seasoning, was an ultimate delicacy she had never experienced in that desolate, snow-covered far north.

Every bite seemed to open a door to a new world for her.

Sitting in the main seat, Leng Yaozhu looked at Xue Di's adorable, as if she had discovered a treasure, and couldn't help but smile, saying softly:
"Almost every powerful soul beast who has just come into contact with human society will show the same expression as you, Snow Empress. What human civilization has accumulated over tens of thousands of years is not only soul guide technology, but also these carefully crafted delicacies, which are unimaginable enjoyments in the soul beast world."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di paused for a moment, looked up at Leng Yaozhu with a gentle smile, and then looked at Bing Di, who was grinning as she placed a piece of braised pork into her bowl.

Hyotei winked:
"Hehe, eat up, eat up! Anyway, it was all made by Lu Jun, so why not eat it!"

Lu Jun sat quietly to the side, watching this warm and harmonious scene, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on his lips, without saying a word.

Looking at the bowl piled high with food, and then at the concerned gazes of everyone around her, Xue Di's eyes welled up with tears.

She thought of the unchanging white ice of the far north, and the innate loneliness she felt.

But here, in this warm house, she felt a sense of belonging that she had never experienced before, a sense of belonging called home.

Leng Yaozhu keenly sensed Xue Di's emotional fluctuations, and her voice softened even more:

"Snow Empress, since you have chosen to become Lu Jun's soul spirit, and since a soul spirit is not a shackle, you have absolute freedom, just like Ice Empress. So, make this place your home. We welcome you anytime."

Xue Di took a deep breath, and a heartfelt smile, as moving as melting snow, bloomed on her beautiful face. She nodded heavily, then lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl with gusto, as if she wanted to eat this warmth into her heart as well.

The dining table was immediately filled with laughter and joy.

Just then, Hyotei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at Leng Yulai, who was struggling with a chicken leg, with a mischievous grin, and teased her:
"Yu Lai, speaking of which, it seems like your cultivation has reached a bottleneck, right? Why don't you ask Lu Jun to replenish your mana? Maybe you can break through to level 99 in one go, and you can also upgrade your fire attribute to ultimate fire at the same time."

"Pfft-cough cough cough!"

Leng Yulai was so taken aback by these words that her face turned bright red, and she almost spat out the juice she had just taken a sip of. She glared at Hyotei, both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hyotei, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Immediately, even louder laughter erupted at the dinner table, and even Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but chuckle.

Lu Jun silently lowered his head, focusing intently on his rice bowl, feeling that he really couldn't join in on the girls' wild and suggestive conversation.

Fortunately, with Leng Yaozhu in charge, the jokes stopped before things got really out of hand, and no real trouble ensued. Another week or two passed peacefully.

That evening, everyone was huddled in front of the huge soul-guided screen in the living room, watching a currently popular romance drama.

The main reason was that Bingdi and Leng Yulai were engrossed in watching, while Xuedi and Leng Yaozhu occasionally offered their comments, and Lu Jun was just there to watch along.

Suddenly, a specific encrypted notification tone sounded from Lu Jun's communicator.

Instantly, the eyes of the four women—Hyotei, Yukitomi, Leng Yaozhu, and Leng Yulai—all focused on him.

Lu Jun's expression turned serious. He picked up the communicator and walked to a quiet spot to make the call.

A respectful voice came from the other end:

"My lord, our operation within Shrek City is essentially complete. All the detailed intelligence we have gathered regarding the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Tang Sect, and other forces, as well as the defense map and distribution of powerful individuals within Shrek Academy, have been encrypted and uploaded to the channel you have specified."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Jun's eyes, and he nodded in satisfaction:

“Well done. Have your men lie low for now and remain silent. In a few days, the final encirclement... will begin soon.”

After ending the call, Lu Jun immediately began to review the massive amount of information sent by Yuan Enzhentian, his eyes sharp as knives as he quickly analyzed it.

Leng Yulai curiously leaned closer, blinking her big eyes:
"Are you preparing to take action against Shrek City? Well, you're a Soul Saint now, and with your freakish strength, you're practically invincible."

"But... am I involved in this operation?"

She rubbed her hands together, looking very excited.

Lu Jun didn't even look up, and directly poured cold water on her:

"You? Forget it. The important thing is to cooperate with Teacher Gu to complete your four-word battle armor. Speaking of which, once this matter is settled, I should start making my three-word battle armor."

"With the cooperation of Hyotei and Yukitei, I'll have enough for this operation."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who were sitting on either side of Lu Jun, immediately showed excitement and fighting spirit in their eyes.

Leng Yaozhu asked softly with a hint of worry:
"Mr. Lu, are you confident?"

Lu Jun raised his head, his gaze steady:

"Clearing out these henchmen of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family shouldn't be a problem. In fact... I'm even confident I can keep those two guys, Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, alive."

"We must eliminate all of Yun Ming's possible allies before the Federation launches a full-scale attack on him, and minimize any unforeseen circumstances."

He knew in his heart that Yun Ming possessed a complete godhood, had the Golden Ancient Tree and the backup plan left by the Sea God Tang San, plus Tang Hao, who might intervene at any time. The difficulty of destroying Shrek City was hellish.

In particular, the fusion skill of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin's martial souls is too unpredictable and must be eliminated first.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai, somewhat dejected, hugged a soft cushion and muttered:

"Another four-word battle armor... I'm practically rotting away at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters because of this thing. I can't go anywhere, it's so boring!"

Looking at her like that, Lu Jun suddenly smiled and said, "If you're really bored, why don't you help me out with something, teacher?"

Leng Yulai immediately perked up, her eyes lighting up:
"What kind of help? Tell me quickly!" (End of Chapter)
