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

At this moment, Lu Jun and the others were ready and about to set off.

Di Yue seemed to have thought of something, a hint of uncertainty in her crimson eyes, and asked:

"Mr. Lu, for this operation... do I need to go with you?"

She was a little worried that she might become a burden.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun replied almost without hesitation, with unwavering certainty:
"You must come with us and absolutely cannot be left alone."

His tone was serious.

"I really can't imagine the consequences if I leave you behind."

“That goddess is determined to have you. Once our main force leaves, she will definitely do everything she can to kidnap you.”

He imagined that situation, and his brow furrowed:

"At that time, we will not only have to face the descent of the God King, but also have to be distracted by rescuing you. We will be attacked from both sides, which will make things even more difficult for us, like going to hell."

"Hey hey hey..."

When Di Yue heard him say that, she smiled a little shyly, but felt a sweet warmth in her heart because of his attention.

However, she was still a little confused and tilted her head to ask:
"But... I still don't quite understand why they... that goddess of beauty, want me so much? Aside from being a little lucky, I don't seem to have anything special about me..."

"Perhaps it's because of some flaw in the goddess herself, or because what she's plotting urgently needs someone like you, who is blessed with great fortune, to make up for or achieve it."

Lu Jun speculated that when he thought of the complicated, even predatory, relationship between Tang Wutong and the Imperial Beast in the original work, a clear look of disgust and contempt involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

A Frankenstein's monster is a Frankenstein's monster.

Lu Jun now speculates that Tang San split his daughter's soul in two, with one half remaining with Di Yue. Before it could merge with Tang Wutong, it was severed from its connection with the God Realm by his own sword.

So much so that Tang Wutong is now somewhat eager to reclaim the part of her soul that belongs to her.

but……

Lu Jun used his divine eye to scan Di Yue from head to toe, including her inner soul and mental state, but found nothing amiss.

It seems that, probably because it lost Tang San's control, it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise during these ten thousand years, and was refined and absorbed by Di Yue on its own, becoming a part of her.
After all, Di Yue is much stronger now than before, and has nearly 100,000 years of cultivation.

It seems that Tang Wutong also deserves credit.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left."

Lu Jun shook off those unpleasant thoughts, rallied his spirits, and swept his gaze over each of his companions present, his voice steady and powerful.

"Let's set off together and face this together."

Gu Yuena, Wu Siduo, Bingdi, and even Di Yue, who had just joined, all sensed the determination in his words and nodded earnestly.

"Ok!"

The group began to move outwards towards the rendezvous point.

Lu Jun deliberately slowed his pace and walked to Gu Yuena's side, who was walking alongside him. He reached out and gently patted her slightly cool hand, his fingertips lingering briefly on the back of her hand, conveying a signal of comfort and apology.

Gu Yuena turned her head, her silver hair fluttering slightly in the wind, her gaze falling on Lu Jun's face, which held a hint of apology.

She first puffed out her cheeks, making a "I'm still angry" expression, but then couldn't help but lean close to his ear and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, whispered a threat with a hint of coquettishness and smugness:
"Hmph, don't think that's all... After everything is over, you'll have to make it up to me properly."

"I'm so angry now!"

She was indeed quite angry, feeling that her position as the main wife was being challenged.

But when she saw Lu Jun take the initiative to come over and apologize to her, even though Gu Yuena still said she was very angry, her anger dissipated by more than half in an instant.

In fact, she had long anticipated that, given Lu Jun's excellence and his unconsciously attractive qualities, she would not be the only one by his side.

Because she was mentally prepared, she half-jokingly and half-seriously declared to Lu Jun from the very beginning that she wanted to be the biggest one!

Lu Jun couldn't help but chuckle when he heard her threat.

Actually, Lu Jun didn't dislike girls who could directly express their emotions.

Lu Jun dislikes girls who hide their emotions and make the other person guess afterward.

If you guess wrong, she'll scold you for not understanding her and put pressure on you. If you guess right, there's no reward, and she'll just spew all sorts of sarcastic and negative emotions... She's in a bad mood herself and wants everyone else to feel the same way... In short, she's incredibly neurotic.

For such a remarkable person, Lu Jun would most likely just ignore them completely. In order not to affect his mood or mindset, he would simply kick them away and do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't bother them.

But without a doubt, Gu Yuena is a truly good girl.

Therefore, Lu Jun cherished it very much, so he subconsciously asked in return:
"Then... how would you like me to compensate you to satisfy you?"

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She pretended to be deep in thought, then leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against Lu Jun's ear, and whispered in a seductive yet domineering tone:

"Then... I'll punish you by making you fight me for seven days and seven nights, no rest, no begging for mercy! How about that?"

Lu Jun: "…………"

His lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless.

Indeed, calling you the Lewd Dragon King is entirely justified...

He secretly grumbled to himself.

However, after initially finding it troublesome, Lu Jun has now become much more accepting of the subtle rivalries and scheming among the girls around her.

As long as they don't go too far and don't affect important matters or the overall situation, he chooses to turn a blind eye to their slight jealousy and comparisons, letting things take their course.

It's unclear where this competitive mentality comes from... Although Lu Jun doesn't know the reason, he still understands a certain principle very well.

If a harem group stops fighting internally and appears harmonious and happy on the surface, then there is a real problem.

Guess who their common target of struggle will be when they stop fighting each other?
The answer is obvious—it's Lu Jun, the man at the very center!

The thought of being punished by them when they joined forces sent a chill down Lu Jun's spine, and he quickly banished the terrible idea from his mind.

I quickened my pace and hurried toward the designated meeting point.

……

Soon, they arrived at a high-end hotel in the central area of ​​Riyue City, which Le Zhengyu had booked in advance.

Upon entering the spacious hall that had been cleared out, Xie Xie, Le Zhengyu, Tang Wulin, Yuan Enyehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Long Chen, and other core team members were already sitting around a huge round table.

Some delicate cold dishes and drinks were already laid out on the table. They had obviously been waiting for a while, and their faces lit up with smiles as soon as they saw Lu Jun and the others appear.

When their gaze swept over Lu Jun's back and they saw, in addition to the familiar Gu Yuena and Wu Siduo, a stunningly beautiful unfamiliar girl with blonde hair, red eyes, and a noble and radiant temperament, they couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon, they exchanged a knowing glance, their faces instantly lighting up with enthusiastic expressions as they stood up to greet them.
"Captain! You've finally arrived!"

"Welcome, welcome! Please have a seat!"

"Is this beautiful lady a new teammate too? Welcome to the team!"

Since they were all people certified by the captain, they naturally had no objections and warmly invited Di Yue to take a seat, their attitude friendly and natural.

However, everyone tacitly... made no mention of it, let alone invited the other two who had parachuted in, Qian Gu Zhangting and Long Yue.

Let them go out there and experience what the northwest wind of Sun and Moon City feels like.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, brothers!"

Lu Jun laughed heartily, stepped forward, patted Tang Wulin and Le Zhengyu on the shoulders familiarly, and then naturally sat down in the seat of honor.

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Captain, this is quite a commotion!"

Xie Xie winked and said, his tone filled with excitement.

"Let's not talk about that for now. You must be hungry after traveling all this way, right? Come on, let's eat and drink!"

As the host, Yue Zhengyu warmly greeted the guests and signaled to the waiters that they could start serving the hot dishes.

No longer holding back, everyone temporarily put aside their upcoming actions and got into a good game, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation and merriment before the big battle.

The clinking of glasses, laughter, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air. Everyone understood that this sumptuous lunch was to prepare them for the upcoming battle, which would determine their fates. (End of Chapter)
