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

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's beautiful face blossomed into a sweet yet slightly mischievous smile, and she readily admitted:

"Of course I'm looking forward to it! We finally got rid of... uh, I mean, we finally have some rare peace and quiet. This is some time that's just for the two of us."

She almost let it slip, and quickly corrected herself, but the smile in her eyes only grew wider.

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked:
"And what about Di Yue? Where did you arrange for her to stay?"

“She sleeps in the side room that Wu Siduo used to live in; I’ve already told her that.”

Gu Yuena had clearly planned ahead, arranging everything meticulously, her tone as natural as that of the mistress of the house.

She then narrowed her beautiful purple eyes, looking at Lu Jun with a scrutinizing gaze, her tone slightly dangerous:
"What? Could it be... you want Di Yue to come over and sleep with you?"

She gave a soft hum, took a step closer, and breathed softly:

"Isn't having me with you enough? You greedy little devil!"

Lu Jun was immediately at a loss for words, and quickly waved his hand:
That's not what I meant... Don't overthink it.

"I think that's exactly what you mean." Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him playfully, her tone sarcastic. "You big pervert, you probably secretly wish everyone could serve you!"

After saying that, she seemed to realize that what she had said was a little embarrassing, her cheeks flushed slightly. Without giving Lu Jun a chance to explain, she picked up her pillow and blanket, turned around and walked towards a cleaned-up guest room.

"I'm not going to banter with you anymore. I've already made some simple arrangements for the room, make sure it's comfortable. Oh, and that guy outside, go and make things sorted for him, don't let him be idle. Also, remember to take a shower before you come in!"

"It's not simple yet."

Lu Jun smiled helplessly, turned around and walked back to the hall.

He looked at the restless Title Douluo and gave the order directly:
"You won't get any rest tonight. You'll be in charge of guarding the gate, standing watch outside, and keeping an eye on the surroundings. If there's any disturbance, alert us immediately."

Upon hearing this, the titled Douluo, far from feeling slighted, seemed to have received a glorious mission. He immediately straightened his back and loudly guaranteed:

"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

"I'll keep my eyes wide open tonight, I won't let a single mosquito escape! You can rest assured!"

His attitude was so positive, as if Lu Jun were his second parents.

At this moment, Wu Siduo walked over.

She looked at the titled Douluo, her brows furrowing slightly, and said to Lu Jun:
"Lu Jun, I still don't trust this guy. He seems like a coward, but he is a Title Douluo after all. Who knows if he's just faking it?"

"If he secretly pulls some trick or takes the opportunity to escape and report back, it will ruin our big plan."

“Tonight, I will keep watch for the first half of the night, personally monitoring him and also keeping watch.”

"With me here, you and Di Yue can rest assured."

Lu Jun glanced at Wu Siduo's gaze, then at the obsequious Title Douluo. After thinking for a moment, he felt that Wu Siduo's concerns were not unreasonable. He was too lazy to keep this guy in mind all the time and make him be on guard at all times.

Moreover, after a series of battles and emotional fluctuations, he did feel a deep sense of fatigue, not so much physical, but more like a kind of mental exhaustion, perhaps related to the aftereffects of his spiritual origin being suppressed by that mysterious power.
"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Wu Siduo." Lu Jun nodded. "But you can't stay here all the time; you'll need to switch shifts later in the night."

Di Yue, who was standing to the side, immediately took over the conversation and volunteered:
"Let me take turns keeping watch during the second half of the night. Sister Duo'er also needs to rest and shouldn't overwork herself." She walked to Wu Siduo's side and affectionately took her arm.

Wu Siduo felt warmed by Di Yue's concern and took her hand in return. The two girls, who had only known each other for a short time but seemed to have become close friends, smiled at each other and got along very well.

"No problem, it's settled then. You'll take care of the rest of the night, Sister Yue."

Seeing that the night watch and surveillance had been arranged and that he no longer needed to worry about the situation, Lu Jun nodded and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he headed towards the guest room that Gu Yuena had just entered.

Pushing open the door, one could see Gu Yuena already lying on the made-up bed, leaning against a soft pillow, covered with a light and warm quilt, leisurely scrolling through short videos on her soul guide communicator. The light from the screen illuminated her beautiful profile, making her appear serene and at home.

Lu Jun seemed to be used to this. He walked to the bedside very naturally, took off his coat, and then crawled into the quilt, lying down next to Gu Yuena, even sharing the same pillow with her without any hesitation.

The two were very close, close enough to feel each other's body temperature and breath, their posture as intimate as newlyweds, a couple deeply in love.

Of all the women who had close relationships with him, Gu Yuena was indeed the one who spent the most time with him and shared the most experiences with him.

From initial mutual probing and cooperation based on mutual interests, to later fighting side by side and sharing life and death, and now to this almost tacit intimacy...

Lu Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

He subconsciously reached out and gently combed through a few stray strands of silver hair that had fallen playfully across Gu Yuena's forehead.

Gu Yuena sensed his movement, raised her eyes, and her purple eyes appeared particularly deep and captivating in the dim light.

She put down the communicator, turned to face Lu Jun, and suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Lu, you've never seemed to be in a hurry?"

"Hmm?" Lu Jun looked at her gently, with a hint of inquiry, "What do you mean by not being in a hurry? What aspect are you referring to?"

Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion on her face, and said:
"It's about the conspiracy between the Tang Clan and the Green Skull organization!"

"Judging from your actions, you are always slow and deliberate, taking things one step at a time."

"With our current strength, we could easily force our way through, find their stronghold, and completely disrupt their carefully laid plans, solving the problem once and for all."

She tilted her head, carefully examining Lu Jun's calm face, and voiced her confusion:

"But you chose to proceed step by step, first helping Wu Siduo avenge herself, and then staying here to report intelligence and await support..."

"It's as if... as if they're afraid their plan won't go smoothly. Why?"

What are you waiting for? Or rather... what are you worried about?

Faced with Gu Yuena's question, which was tinged with confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction, Lu Jun not only did not answer directly, but instead curled his lips into a playful smile, deliberately keeping her in suspense, and uttered two words with a light laugh:
"you guess?"

Gu Yuena: "…………"

Her amethyst-like eyes narrowed instantly, flashing with a dangerous light. She stared at Lu Jun for a few seconds, and seeing that he still looked calm and smiling, she couldn't help but feel angry.

She pursed her lips, looked away, and returned her gaze to the screen of the soul-guided communicator in her hand. Her fingertips unconsciously swiped through the short videos, and she said in a sullen tone, her voice tinged with a hint of defiance:
"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Anyway, you're a very calculating person; you always have your own plans and ideas, and I'm too lazy to guess them." (End of Chapter)
