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

Lu Jun, on the other hand, was quite composed and nodded:
"Yes, that's how it is for now."

Wu Siduo's expression instantly became complicated, and she muttered in a low voice:

"I thought... you were different from other men, a good man who focused on cultivation and serious matters... I never expected you to be such a... womanizer who juggles multiple relationships."

Although her voice was soft, everyone present had sharp ears and eyes and could hear it clearly.

Lu Jun glanced silently at Wu Siduo, whose face was buried low, and did not refute her, which was taken as tacit agreement.

To some extent, he really couldn't refute it. Surrounded by so many outstanding women, enjoying their company and even admiration, it would be too hypocritical and pretentious to still claim that he was a devoted and good man.

He wasn't the kind of person who wanted to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives while also wanting to be honored with a memorial arch for chastity.

You can't expect to have all the benefits and expect the whole world to sing your praises, can you?

That would be far too greedy.

He didn't defend his actions, but directly took out another small and exquisite storage bracelet from his storage soul tool, handed it to Wu Siduo, and changed the subject:
"Here, take this. Inside are some immortal herbs that I brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. They've been sorted and arranged, and there are detailed instructions inside, indicating which one is suitable for which martial spirit or cultivation direction. Take this back and distribute it to everyone."

Wu Siduo took the bracelet, nodded obediently like a startled little rabbit, and replied in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Well, I see."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lu Jun added:
"There's a special portion prepared for you inside. Remember to take it on time when you get home; it'll be good for you."

"Huh?" Wu Siduo looked up in surprise, her crimson eyes filled with astonishment.

"Huh? Surprised?" Lu Jun raised an eyebrow.

"No, no..."

Wu Siduo subconsciously shrank her neck, like a little animal afraid of being scolded, but then, as if she had thought of something, her pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes darted away, and she tentatively asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"Um...you, you wouldn't...have your eye on me too, would you? That's why...that's why you're being so nice to me?"

Lu Jun: "…………"

He was speechless for a moment. So what's wrong with these women's thought processes?

Why do you always think in this direction?

That's an incredibly high opinion of themselves!

However, he was still too lazy to explain, and simply changed the subject:

"Don't overthink it. Would you like to stay for a simple meal?"

Wu Siduo didn't answer immediately, but instead carefully examined Lu Jun, as if trying to find something on his face.

After a while, she said thoughtfully:

"I feel... you've changed a lot these days. I can't quite put my finger on it, but you give off... like an old man who's retired early and is enjoying his retirement at home, with a kind of lazy, detached feeling."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but laugh, his tone tinged with self-deprecation and composure:
"Isn't this the life of a retired old man? I learn forging during the day and practice at night, and I have so many people taking care of me."

"So it's normal that you think it's similar."

He truly enjoys this peaceful time, a time to temporarily escape conflict and accumulate strength.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Lu Jun reminded him.

Wu Sidu pursed her lips, seemingly reluctant, but finally said softly, "Okay, alright... then I'll stay for a meal. But don't get me wrong! I'm not staying because of you... um, definitely not!"

Seeing her suspicious look, Lu Jun felt a mischievous urge to tease her and deliberately pressed her for an answer:
"Oh? If it's not because of me, then what is it because of?"

"I...I...I..." Wu Siduo's pretty face turned bright red instantly when he asked her the question, and even her neck and ears were tinged with an alluring pink.

She turned her head away in a panic, not daring to look Lu Jun in the eye, her small hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, as if steam was about to rise from the top of her head.

“o(*////▽////*)q”

An indescribable atmosphere of shyness enveloped her.

"What is it?" Lu Jun persisted, taking another step closer, almost touching her face, as if he absolutely needed a direct response from her.

"You, you bastard... Humph."

Wu Siduo, as if driven to desperation, stomped her foot in annoyance and shouted in a self-destructive manner:
"How could I have ever idolized you? You really can't believe all the rumors online! They're all lies!"

Lu Jun: "..."

Well, now it's his fault.

However, regardless of the process, Wu Siduo eventually blushed and agreed to stay for dinner.

Given the varying cooking skills of the ladies present, Gu Yuena and Leng Yaozhu were relatively reliable, while the others, especially Leng Yulai and Di Yue, were veritable kitchen destroyers.

In the end, everyone was surprised to find that the best cook was actually Lu Jun!

Therefore, the responsibility of preparing dinner naturally fell on Lu Jun's shoulders.

Gu Yuena and Leng Yaozhu volunteered to help in the kitchen, washing and chopping vegetables. They worked together seamlessly, creating a well-organized, warm, and harmonious scene.

However, this harmonious atmosphere was soon shattered.

Leng Yulai, not wanting to be left out, barged in, insisting on helping.

The result was predictable—

When asked to cut potato shreds, she cut her hand with the cleaver. Her hand was fine, but she chipped the steel cleaver because she used too much force, and the potato was chopped into pieces of different sizes.

I tried to learn how to stir-fry some greens, but with a flick of my wrist, half a pot of vegetables flew out of the pan and spilled all over the stove.

Finally, wanting to show off a bit, I volunteered to watch the soup that was simmering. In a moment of inattention, the heat was turned up too high, almost causing the pressure cooker valve to fly off, resulting in a small kitchen explosion with thick smoke billowing out…

Finally, under the stern gazes and unanimous vote of Lu Jun, Gu Yuena, and Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai was "invited" out of the kitchen.

Lu Jun even found a piece of cardboard, wrote "Leng Yulai is never allowed to enter the kitchen for the rest of her life!!!" with a marker, and then drew three huge exclamation marks before sticking it on the kitchen door.

This incredibly destructive kitchen killer has finally been completely sealed away!
After a chaotic flurry of activity, dinner was finally prepared without incident.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Leng Yulai became exceptionally proactive, eagerly carrying plate after plate of fragrant dishes to the table, and then loudly calling out to everyone:

"Dinner's ready! Everyone come and eat!"

Di Yue was the first to rush over, her eyes fixed on the delicious-looking dishes on the table, her face full of anticipation.

Looking at her like this, Wu Siduo was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice:
"Is it really necessary to be so expectant? As Soul Masters, we can actually maintain our lives entirely through Soul Power; we don't need to eat frequently." (End of Chapter)
