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

Leng Yulai rolled her eyes with a charmingly seductive expression and said irritably:
"You actually guessed that? I'm impressed."

"Because I don't believe that someone with your straightforward mind could be so perceptive as to notice that I'm under a lot of stress lately."

Lu Jun deliberately made a joke in an attempt to lighten the somewhat sentimental atmosphere.

"...Just how deep is the stereotype about me in your mind?"

Leng Yulai glared at him with slight annoyance, but still shoved the glass of crimson liquid into Lu Jun's hand.

"Since you already know, then just do as I say. Nana is worried about you, afraid that you'll keep everything bottled up inside and bear it all by yourself, so she specifically asked me to come over and see if I can help relieve some of your stress."

"How can we alleviate it?" Lu Jun asked subconsciously, holding a slightly cool wine glass in his hand.

"Then of course I'll use my method."

Leng Yulai's red lips curled into a mysterious, slightly wild smile as she raised her wine glass and gently clinked it against his.

After the crisp sound of glass clashing, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if the slight awkwardness and tentativeness from before had melted away in the wine.

They sipped their rich red wine and chatted casually, from amusing anecdotes of the past to recent events. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, and Lu Jun indeed felt his tense nerves from the past few days ease considerably.

"Your Majesty Dark Phoenix, would you do me the honor of dancing for me?"

An untimely voice broke in. A young man, dressed in luxurious clothes and seemingly elegant in demeanor, from a top power, with what he thought was a charming smile on his face, extended his hand to Leng Yulai.

The smile on Leng Yulai's face vanished instantly, replaced by an icy chill. She didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, coldly saying:

"Can't you see I'm busy? Get lost."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority and a hint of menace.

The young man's smile froze, his face turned pale, and he slunk away quickly amidst the subtle glances cast around him.

"This is the ninth person to arrive during our conversations. It seems to be someone from a top-tier power."

Lu Jun looked at that disheveled figure and couldn't help but laugh.

"Miss Leng's charm is indeed extraordinary."

Leng Yulai curled her lip in disdain:

"These guys, they seem so charming on the surface, but I know exactly what kind of bad ideas they have inside. If Nana hadn't asked me to come to you, I wouldn't have bothered to come to this kind of boring event even if you asked me to."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, and she gave Lu Jun a reproachful glance.

"As for whether I am charming or not, the whole world knows it, but some idiot just didn't see it before."

"Ahem." Lu Jun coughed twice and once again used his all-purpose excuse, "I already said it was in the past, but it's true, you have a background, you have power, you have cultivation, you have beauty... and you're single, so it's normal for people to be watching you."

"Yes, I'm single."

Following his words, Leng Yulai suddenly looked at him teasingly, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"But I'm not their prey. So... when are you planning to end my single life?"

Lu Jun smiled and downed the remaining wine in his glass in one gulp. He gently twirled the empty glass with his fingertips, his gaze fixed intently on her, before uttering a startling statement:
"How about... tonight?"

He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Leng Yulai, a roguish smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Tonight, you are also my prey."

Leng Yulai's face flushed even redder, as vibrant as a sunset.

She rolled her eyes at Lu Jun, annoyed, but seeing the smug smile on his lips, she felt both angry and amused.

A moment later, as if she had thought of something, Leng Yulai's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly suppressed all her anger, her face blossoming into a charming and captivating smile. She even deliberately winked at Lu Jun, turning the tables on him:
"Perhaps... you are my prey."

Her sudden counterattack, coupled with her natural allure, made Lu Jun's heart skip a beat. He felt a surge of heat and his lips and mouth became parched. He quickly poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down in large gulps to cover it up.

Seeing his slightly disheveled appearance, Leng Yulai immediately laughed triumphantly as if she had won a battle, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Lu Jun put down his wine glass, stood up, tidied his appearance, and then, like the nine dancers before him, gracefully extended his hand to Leng Yulai, his face bearing an impeccable gentlemanly smile, but his eyes were full of aggression:
"My dear lady, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

Leng Yulai spat lightly and laughed, "You're the one who's the 'Miss'."

But she didn't hesitate at all. Under the gazes of many people around her, some envious, some jealous, and some curious, she stretched out her slender hand and placed it steadily in Lu Jun's warm palm.

Their hands clasped together again, even more tightly than before.

Lu Jun led her to the center of the dance floor.

The melodious music changed its rhythm at the right moment, becoming even more tender and poignant.

The two glided onto the dance floor to the music, their bodies naturally drawing closer.

Lu Jun's eyes lit up immediately.

He realized that he had underestimated Leng Yulai.

Once this woman starts dancing, she brings out her captivating charm, a blend of cold elegance and allure, to its fullest potential.

Every step she took was rhythmic, her waist as supple as a willow. Every spin, every close movement, seemed like an unintentional tease, yet perfectly revealed the most captivating curves of her body.

Her eyes were no longer cold or teasing as usual, but were veiled in a hazy mist. Her gaze was captivating and mesmerizing, as if it could suck one's soul into it.

As her dance partner, Lu Jun clearly felt the gazes from all directions, as well as the heart-pounding attraction of the hot, delicate body in his arms. The pressure was indeed considerable.

"I never expected you to dance so well."

Lu Jun tried his best to keep up with her pace, while muttering to himself with some embarrassment.

In comparison, his skill level, which is merely to jump, pales in comparison.

At this moment, they undoubtedly became the focus of the entire dance floor, and even the entire Starry Sea Hall.

All eyes were focused on the extraordinary couple with their captivating dance moves.

“Speaking of which,” Leng Yulai suddenly tiptoed, her warm breath brushing against Lu Jun’s ear, carrying the scent of wine and a hint of slyness, and said softly, “I haven’t experienced your luxurious lounge on the fourth floor yet.”

Lu Jun tightened his arms around her waist slightly, looked down at her stunning profile, flushed and so close to his own, and replied:
"Then tonight, I'll take you to experience it properly, how about it?"

"Okay."

Leng Yulai smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling with bold anticipation. (End of Chapter)
