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

Chapter 636 Dai Tianling, Speaker of the Eastern Continent Branch
In the original novel, the journey to the Star Luo Continent was undertaken by boat.

This sitting lasted for several months, even more than half a year.

This time, the Star Luo Empire had already been destroyed, and the original Star Luo Continent was called the Eastern Continent here. It was also completely different from the long voyage across the ocean that took several months or even half a year in the original story.

Faced with the revolutionary transportation tool of the Soul Guided Aircraft, the distant Eastern Continent seemed to be shortened.

Just one day later, the massive soul-guided transport aircraft arrived over the Eastern Continent.

Looking down through the porthole, the architectural style of the Eastern Continent is not much different from that of the main area of ​​the Douluo Continent. It is also a mix of towering soul guide buildings and classical palaces, only with some local characteristics in the details.

The Soul Guidance Airfield in the distance, built specifically for Federation officials, has a similar main structure to Mingdu's airport, with only slight differences in some decorative patterns and layout.

"Lu Jun, Lu Jun?"

Sitting next to Lu Jun, Gu Yuena gently nudged him with her elbow, trying to wake him from his slumber.

"We're almost at the Eastern Continent, it's time to wake up."

Her voice was gentle, with a hint of barely perceptible concern.

However, Lu Jun was completely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. He did not respond to Gu Yuena's calls and only made a few unconscious murmurs before sleeping soundly.

At this moment, Xie Xie, sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at Lu Jun's appearance. He couldn't help but lower his voice and tease Gu Yuena mischievously:
"Sister Gu Yue, what exactly did Brother Lu do? He looks so exhausted. Could it be... that you drained him dry?"

Gu Yuena's pretty face instantly flushed red, both ashamed and annoyed. She raised her hand, conjuring a ball of cold air as if to throw it at Xie Xie, and whispered reproachfully:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would do that kind of thing before carrying out an important mission? Do you think everyone is as frivolous as you?"

The chill forced Xie Xie to shrink his neck, and he waved his hands repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"Oh dear, I was wrong, I was wrong, just kidding! Sister Gu Yue, please forgive me! But Brother Lu looks really exhausted, so... maybe we shouldn't wake him up? Let him sleep comfortably for a while."

Looking at Lu Jun's defenseless and utterly exhausted sleeping face, even the usually carefree Xie Xie felt a pang of pity.

Gu Yuena also hesitated:

"Then... what will we do when we get off the plane and go on our mission?"

Just then, Xu Tiandi, sitting in the front row of the cabin, didn't turn his head, but his calm voice came over, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"There's no need to rush. Even if the Green Skull organization comes knocking right now, it's not your turn to be the first to step in."

"The Federation will arrange for you to rest at a designated hotel for a day. The official mission will begin tomorrow."

"Yay! Long live the Speaker!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie, Long Chen, and the other young people cheered, their tension dissipating considerably.

Gu Yuena also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"In that case, let's not wake him up. I'll carry him back after we get off the plane."

She had just made her decision when her soul-guided communicator began to vibrate repeatedly.

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback and took out her communicator to check.

The message came from Ditian.

"My lord, Di Yue's condition is getting worse and worse. These days she is always restless and keeps telling me that something in a very far place is calling to her, making her restless and even feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and she is feeling more and more uncomfortable."

"Following the direction she sensed, I led her to search various parts of Douluo Continent, and finally confirmed that the source of that call to her... seems to point to the Eastern Continent!" "My lord, what should we do? Should I bring her here?"

Gu Yuena frowned as she read the message; Di Yue's unusual behavior made her feel somewhat uneasy.

She glanced at Lu Jun, who was still fast asleep beside her, completely unaware of everything, thought for a moment, and then quickly tapped on the communicator screen to reply:
"Lu Jun may know some of the inside story. He is currently asleep for some reason. When he wakes up, I will tell him the details, and he should have a solution."

A moment later, Di Tian replied with just two simple words: "Received."

Gu Yuena put away the communicator, her gaze falling once more on Lu Jun's face with a hint of worry, but ultimately she did not disturb his sleep.

At that moment, the pilot's calm voice announced from inside the cabin:
"Attention passengers, we are about to arrive at the Eastern Continent Federation branch airport. Please prepare to disembark..."

Everyone began to organize their belongings and stretch their muscles.

Gu Yuena carefully helped Lu Jun up from his seat, then turned around and carried him steadily on her slightly thin back.

She moved extremely gently, afraid of waking him, and felt a sense of peace in her heart as she felt his steady breathing and warm body temperature.

The transport plane landed smoothly, taxied, and finally came to a stop.

The hatch opened, and a warm, oceanic breeze, slightly different from that of the Douluo Continent, rushed in.

The group descended the gangway one by one.

Gu Yuena carried the still-sleeping Lu Jun on her back, walking steadily at the back of the group.

Alongside the airport runway, a group of high-ranking officials from the Eastern Continent Federation branch were already lined up, ready to welcome the important figures from headquarters.

The person in the lead was Dai Tianling, the chairman of the Eastern Continent Federation branch.

He wore a standard, warm yet respectful smile and was about to step forward to exchange pleasantries with the senior executives from headquarters.

However, when his gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the figure being slowly pushed down the gangway by the shadow guards and sitting peacefully in a wheelchair, Dai Tianling's well-trained smile instantly froze.

He almost couldn't control his expression; the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This... this is far too different from the image of Xu Tiandi, who was rumored to be spirited, arrogant, and unified the Douluo Continent with an iron fist.

Although he already knew through internal channels that Xu Tiandi had been crippled in both legs during the battle to destroy Shrek Academy, the impact of witnessing it firsthand was still incredibly strong.

The price... is this the price Shrek Academy has paid to completely eradicate this long-standing scourge?

This talented and ambitious speaker has lost both legs and is now confined to a wheelchair...

As Dai Tianling's mind raced, a strange, somewhat absurd sense of déjà vu washed over him—this situation was so similar to that of Emperor Xu Tianran, who, ten thousand years ago, also sat in a wheelchair and ruled the Sun and Moon Empire.

He forcibly suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his mind, tried hard to control his facial expression, and even a dark speculation rose uncontrollably deep in his heart:

I wonder if this Emperor Xu, like his ancestor from ten thousand years ago, has also lost his fundamental male abilities?

If that's really the case... then it would be too "perfect"!

Of course, these treasonous thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment.

Regardless, Xu Tiandi was his superior, whose style was domineering and ruthless. Working with him was like serving a tiger, and the pressure was immense.

Dai Tianling himself had been reprimanded by Emperor Xu for his poor governance of the Eastern Continent, and had harbored resentment for a long time.
