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

Chapter 698 The Charm of Di Yue's Straightforward Sincerity

The stark contrast between the two events, a scene of friendship formed at lightning speed, left Lu Jun, who was standing next to him, completely stunned.

He blinked, his face filled with disbelief, and couldn't help but lean closer to Gu Yuena, whose expression remained somewhat aloof, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you girls make friends so easily and so quickly?"

This efficiency is comparable to the Federation's latest soul-guided communication connection speed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Lu Jun, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness she herself didn't realize, and retorted:

"Look at you guys, though! As long as you get together to play the same game, or if one of you treats you to a meal or drinks, you can instantly become sworn brothers, arm in arm, as close as family!"

"Maybe if they get into a good time, they might even call him godfather."

Lu Jun was about to retort that it was different, but the words were on the tip of his tongue when the scene of Xie Xie and Le Zhengyu, those few rascals, shamelessly calling him "Daddy" and "Brother Lu, take me to show off and fly" for a little reward or reward flashed through his mind, and he was immediately speechless.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed all his words, letting out a silent sigh.

It seems... what she said actually makes a lot of sense.

Therefore, Lu Jun wisely chose to keep quiet.

And so, the group followed Wu Siduo toward the direction of her family mansion, which she remembered.

However, Lu Jun was clearly not involved in this part of the journey.

Gu Yuena seemed to be infected by the cheerful atmosphere between Di Yue and Wu Siduo, or perhaps she didn't want to be excluded, so she joined them.

Three women, each with a distinct style yet equally stunning, walked side by side, creating a beautiful moving scene that drew the attention of passersby.

They showed great interest in the local customs and specialties of Sun and Moon City in the Eastern Continent, and their laughter and chatter filled the air along the way.

Upon seeing uniquely shaped sugar figurines, people would gather around to appraise them; upon smelling the fragrant grilled meat skewers, their eyes would light up and they would immediately crowd around; upon encountering unfamiliar specialty pastries, they would curiously buy them to try.

Of course, Gu Yuena and Di Yue, one being the ruler of all soul beasts and the other an imperial auspicious beast, are both accustomed to being worshipped and naturally do not carry federal currency.

Fortunately, Wu Siduo was thoughtful and prepared in advance. She had enough Sun Moon City's common federal currency in her storage soul tool to cover these expenses.

However, these three beauties have different tastes.

As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena has a special physique and an exceptionally good appetite. She buys and tries almost any food that catches her eye, and can finish it all without changing her expression. Despite her astonishing appetite, she maintains an elegant demeanor.

While Di Yue and Wu Siduo were also curious about food, their appetites were much more normal. They would often only try a few bites of a snack and feel satisfied after experiencing the taste.

So, what do we do with the leftover food?
Naturally, their gazes all turned to the only man in the group—Lu Jun.

"Lu Jun, we've tried this grilled fish, and it tastes great! Don't waste the rest, you can have it."

"Master... no, Mr. Lu, this pastry is too sweet, I can't eat it anymore, can you finish it for me?"

"Here, this meat skewer tastes a bit strange, but it's still edible. You can have it."

Lu Jun: "…………"

He watched as various snacks were continuously handed to him, each already taken a bite or two, and his lips twitched slightly.

This scene is so familiar.

Anyone who has ever gone shopping with their girlfriend is very familiar with this...

What else can we do?

Looking into the three pairs of beautiful eyes filled with expectation, Lu Jun could only silently shed tears in his heart, forcing a helpless yet indulgent smile on his face as he reached out and took them one by one.

"Okay, okay, we can't waste food..."

He consoled himself while resignedly beginning to clean up the mess. It must be said that accompanying these three shopping might not be physically demanding, but this sweet burden truly tested his willpower.

Lu Jun even felt that even a god-king level powerhouse would be exhausted by this combination of shopping with a woman and dealing with leftover food.

Not to mention there were three women involved.

And along the way, Di Yue did not disappoint Lu Jun's expectations and entrustment.

She seized an opportunity and, in a very direct and straightforward manner, put her arm around Wu Siduo's shoulder and said:

“Little sister Duo’er, listen to me, you always call Lu Jun ‘master,’ which really makes him feel embarrassed and awkward.”

"Lu Jun helped you out of a sense of duty as a friend and out of genuine kindness. What he truly wanted to establish with you was an equal and normal friendship, not a master-servant relationship!"

“You really don’t need to do this. If you feel you have no way to repay him, then work hard to cultivate and grow up quickly. In the future, when he needs you, help him more and repay him with practical actions. Isn’t that better than calling him ‘master’?”

Di Yue's words were sincere and direct, like sunlight piercing through the fog.

Wu Siduo listened to her words and looked thoughtfully at Lu Jun's slightly embarrassed expression.

She was not a stupid person; she was just temporarily blinded by family hatred and a desire to repay a debt of gratitude, and she got stuck in a rut.

Reminded by Di Yue, she thought about it carefully and realized that her behavior might have caused trouble for Lu Jun.

So she walked up to Lu Jun, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said solemnly with apology and gratitude:

"Lu Jun, I'm sorry. I was too stubborn before and caused you trouble."

“I understand. I will no longer address you that way, nor will I ever refer to myself as a servant.”

"I will strive to become stronger, hoping to become a truly reliable friend and support for you!"

Hearing Wu Siduo's words, Lu Jun finally felt relieved, a genuine smile of satisfaction spreading across his face as he nodded in agreement.

"This child is teachable!"

He sighed in his heart.

To be honest, sometimes being sincere and straightforward is the real killer move. Look at Di Yue's efficiency and communication skills, wow, she's truly amazing!

If it were him, it would probably take several rounds of back and forth.

Lu Jun was at his wits' end; the people in the situation wouldn't listen to him. He had told Wu Siduo several times, but she just wouldn't change.

We should remain outsiders in this matter.

Di Yue was perfectly suited to play this role, and she was cast in the role immediately.

This made Lu Jun feel quite ashamed.

Why does something so simple become so complicated for him?

I feel like there's a strange kind of magic about Di Yue...

The group explored Sun and Moon City like any other tourists, enjoying the scenery and food until late at night, when they finally arrived at a mansion located in the southernmost part of the city.

This place is much quieter than the bustling city center.

Before them stood a small, old-fashioned mansion, its black wooden doors tightly shut, dust even clinging to the door knockers. The buildings within the walls were only vague outlines in the night. (End of Chapter)
