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

Chapter 638 Lu Jun's Abnormality

A sense of unease rose in Gu Yuena's heart. Without further hesitation, she immediately summoned Leng Yulai via communicator.

A moment later, the door to the room was pushed open, and Leng Yulai rushed in, her usual sunglasses already in her hand.

She ran straight to the bedside, bent down, and stretched out her slender fingers. A faint spiritual power with a hint of darkness lingered around her fingertips as she gently touched Lu Jun's forehead, brow, wrist, and other key areas, carefully examining his condition.

After a while, Leng Yulai's brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with confusion:
“Strange… My bodily functions are all normal, my soul power is flowing smoothly, and it’s even more active than usual.”

"Although his spiritual sea was somewhat dim, it was just a sign of deep sleep. There were no signs of external intrusion, damage, or curses... From any perspective, he was simply... mentally exhausted and asleep."

She looked up at Gu Yuena, her tone filled with disbelief:

"But... with his current level of strength, even if he forged for three days and three nights without sleep, no matter how much mental exertion he expended, it would be impossible for him to sleep for such a long time, and to sleep like... like a dead pig that he couldn't be woken up, right? This is indeed a bit unusual."

Hearing that Leng Yulai had reached a similar conclusion, Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest:
"It seems that my perception is not faulty, or it has been blocked by his subconscious."

She thought Lu Jun had some kind of protective mechanism that she wasn't aware of, which was deliberately blocking her detection.

"This situation is getting really bad." Leng Yulai crossed her arms and paced back and forth by the bed, her face grave. "Lu Jun can't just keep sleeping like this. The key is, we have no idea why he's like this. Is it because he's overexerted himself and triggered some kind of self-protection mechanism, or... some other reason we don't understand?"

Looking at Lu Jun's peaceful sleeping face, Gu Yuena suddenly blinked her beautiful purple eyes, as if she had remembered something, and suggested in a somewhat innocent and uncertain tone:

"How about... Yu Lai, you try the method from the story?"

Leng Yulai looked completely bewildered:

"Huh? What story's method?"

Gu Yuena was a little embarrassed, but she still whispered it out:
"It's like... like in those fairy tales... you kiss him, and maybe... he'll wake up?"

Her ears turned slightly red as she said this.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai's forehead instantly creased with several black lines, and she looked at Gu Yuena speechlessly:
"My dear Nana, we're just saying... are you sure you haven't got the role wrong?"

"Shouldn't it be the prince kissing the princess under a spell, and then the princess wakes up?"

"Aren't our roles completely reversed here? And what kind of princess is he?"

"Well...it makes no difference!" Gu Yuena was a little embarrassed and annoyed by what she said, but she tried to argue, "Maybe it will be useful?"

"Okay, okay, you said it, I'll give it a try."

Leng Yulai was also a woman of action. Seeing Gu Yuena say this, she simply gritted her teeth, leaned down, pouted her luscious red lips, and kissed Lu Jun's lips, which were somewhat pale from sleeping, firmly and with a hint of mischief.

"Mua~"

A clear kiss echoed in the quiet room.

After the kiss, Leng Yulai seemed unsatisfied. Her eyes flickered, and she actually tried to secretly stick out the tip of her tongue, wanting to go further...

"Hey! Leng Yulai! You've gone too far! A kiss is enough, but you actually wanted to stick your tongue in?!"

Gu Yuena reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger. She pulled Leng Yulai away from Lu Jun, her purple eyes wide open, glaring at her with a fierce, possessive expression.

Hajina was breathing heavily.

Leng Yulai was pulled away, and she licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, revealing a wronged and innocent expression:
"Isn't this what you meant by 'try it out'? I just... wanted to see if the effect would be more noticeable..." Gu Yuena: "…………"

Looking at Leng Yulai's smug and self-satisfied expression, and then at Lu Jun, who remained unresponsive on the bed, she was speechless for a moment, only feeling helpless and a strange sense of jealousy.

This method is clearly useless.

Lu Jun's deep sleep must have another reason.

Throughout the night, Gu Yuena and Leng Yulai stayed by Lu Jun's bedside without leaving him for a moment, their beautiful eyes fixed on him, trying to find the reason for his unusually deep sleep from any subtle changes, and protecting him, waiting for him to wake up naturally.

Time passed slowly in silence and worry, until the morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains the next day, gilding the luxurious room with a golden edge.

Lu Jun still hasn't woken up!
His breathing was steady, and his complexion was rosy, as if he were simply immersed in an incredibly sweet dream. However, this "peace" made Gu Yuena and Leng Yulai extremely anxious.

This is so abnormal!

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Leng Yulai took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and got up to open the door.

An officer in a federal military uniform stood outside the door. When he saw that it was Leng Yulai from the Spirit Pagoda who opened the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked up to check the room number, thinking that he had entered the wrong room.

“You’ve come to the right door.” Leng Yulai’s tone was slightly impatient. “What is it? Speak.”

The officer quickly composed himself, stood at attention, saluted, and said respectfully:

"Sir, this is a summary of the latest intelligence regarding Dragon Valley and the surrounding area, compiled by the Federal Intelligence Service. It needs to be reviewed by Gu Yuena and Lu Jun."

He handed over a sealed document bag with both hands.

After a pause, he added:

"In addition, we have been instructed that you have only one hour to review the intelligence. Please assemble in the hotel lobby immediately after one hour, and we will escort you to the entrance of Dragon Valley."

Leng Yulai took the file bag and nodded:
"understood."

She turned to look at Gu Yuena in the room, and waved the document in her hand:
"Did you all hear that? There's only one hour left."

Gu Yuena walked to the door with a solemn expression and nodded to the officer:

"We have received it and will gather on time."

The officer then saluted again and turned to leave.

After closing the door, Leng Yulai looked at Gu Yuena, her brows furrowed:

"We're leaving in just one hour, and Lu Jun still hasn't woken up. What are we going to do? This is too strange!"

Gu Yuena's gaze fell once more on Lu Jun, who was fast asleep on the bed. She gritted her teeth, and a burning light flashed in her purple eyes:

"We can't wait any longer. We have to wake him up no matter what. I'll try to force him to wake up!"
