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

Lu Jun walked to the empty side of the sofa and sat down. He naturally picked up the cup of tea that had been prepared for him, brought it to his lips, blew on it, and took a small sip.

The warm tea soup, with its perfect balance of slight bitterness and sweet aftertaste, glides down the throat, and the warmth quickly spreads throughout the body, even dispelling the last vestiges of weariness.

"Much more comfortable."

He sighed contentedly, sinking deeper into the soft sofa back, his posture one of complete relaxation and languor.

"Those three days were simply unbearable. Home is the best place ever."

Xue Di chuckled softly, her voice as clear and melodious as the clinking of ice crystals:
"You certainly know how to enjoy your leisure time. Before Wu Siduo left, she repeatedly told us to make sure you rested well and not to do anything else."

"Where would I find the energy to struggle?"

Lu Jun waved his hand, his gaze casually sweeping over the green plants that added life to the living room.

The Hyotei and Yuki-tei jewels had clearly just been watered; glistening water droplets still clung to a few of their outstretched leaves, refracting a delicate shimmer under the soft light, making them quite adorable.

"My biggest wish right now is to be a lump of mud that won't move."

He paused, his gaze falling on the flowers and plants, and added sincerely:

"But then again, the flowers and plants you planted have indeed added a lot of life and interest to the home, which is great."

Mentioning this, Hyotei's eyes softened considerably, losing their usual arrogance and gaining a touch of the gentle joy of a gardener:
"Having spent too much time in the far north, surrounded by nothing but ice and snow, it got monotonous after a while. Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to try making some. Surprisingly... it turned out quite interesting."

She changed the subject and looked at Lu Jun.

"By the way, what are your plans next? I heard from Wu Siduo that you're going to teach at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Jun nodded, took another sip of tea, and let the aroma linger in his mouth.
"Yeah, I'll go there the day after tomorrow morning. I don't have anything important to do these two days, so I plan to completely relax, sleep, and daydream to make up for the energy I've lost."

After finishing the remaining tea in the cup, a warm feeling spread throughout my body.

He put down his teacup, stretched, and his bones cracked slightly.

"I'm going to bed now, I'm so sleepy my eyelids are drooping." He stood up and walked towards his room. "You guys do as you please, don't worry about me."

"Get some rest, see you tomorrow~"

Hyotei spoke in a rare lighthearted tone, and even winked at him.

"See you tomorrow," Lu Jun replied, pushed open the door to his room, went inside, and closed the door behind him.

In the living room, only Tang Wutong, Bingdi, and Xuedi remained.

Tang Wutong felt the stillness in the air suddenly become heavy, especially when facing these two stunning women whose looks and temperament were in no way inferior to hers, and even had their own unique charm. The invisible pressure made her even more restless.

She could sense that while Hyotei and Yukitei seemed casual, their occasional glances at her carried a subtle scrutiny and aloofness, which made her instinctively tense, and she unconsciously softened her breathing.

However, Hyotei and Yuki-tei seemed to completely ignore her existence.

As soon as Lu Jun left, the two naturally continued their low conversation. The topic gradually shifted from the care of the flowers and plants to their perception of the recent spiritual energy fluctuations in Mingdu. Occasionally, they would interject with comments about Lu Jun's condition, their tone familiar and casual, as if Tang Wutong were just an insignificant piece of furniture in the living room.

Tang Wutong listened to their oblivious conversation, feeling the awkwardness of being completely excluded. She could only sit stiffly, her pink-blue eyes fixed on her fingertips, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

As the daughter of a god-king, when has she ever received such treatment?

Unfortunately, ever since she met Lu Jun, all sorts of firsts have happened to her.

Damn it, that bastard Lu Jun, you just wait.

I will remember this grudge.

Tang Wutong gritted her teeth and thought to herself.

But then she thought about it again and remembered that Lu Jun could read her mind. Tang Wutong was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale. She kept apologizing in her heart, hoping that Lu Jun would not blame her... Her self-deprecating manner also caught the eye of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

The two women exchanged a glance and looked at each other blankly.

The poor child, he was so terrified...

Meanwhile, Lu Jun, who was in the room, had already thrown himself into the soft, large bed, completely ignoring Tang Wutong's thoughts.

For ordinary Soul Masters, the best way to rest is undoubtedly deep meditation, which can both restore mental strength and consolidate cultivation.

However, Lu Jun's cultivation level had already transcended the conventional realm. His body was like a highly precise and fully automated energy furnace, constantly absorbing and releasing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, circulating it throughout the body, and carrying out the most efficient cultivation.

The simultaneous practice of conscious sleep and the body's instinctive meditation is his unique method for a true full recovery.

No matter what happens, just sleep it off and you'll feel better the next day.

Almost the instant his head touched the pillow, an intense weariness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and his consciousness sank rapidly into the dark and tranquil depths of the ocean.

……

The next morning.

The soft morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden dappled patterns on the floor.

Lu Jun's brow twitched almost imperceptibly while he was in a deep sleep.

He felt a heaviness on his body, as if something of considerable weight was pressing down on him. His chest felt a little tight, but not uncomfortable. Instead, he felt a strange, warm, and enveloping sensation.

He slowly opened his eyes, still half-asleep.

My vision was initially blurry, but then it became focused.

The first thing that catches the eye is a stunningly beautiful face, close at hand, with a mischievous smile.

His long hair, like the finest silk, was scattered messily on his pillow and chest.

Hyotei was sitting on his quilt, propping her chin up with one hand, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents as she looked down at him with great interest. When she saw that he was awake, she deliberately swung her legs, which were dangling over the edge of the bed.

Good morning, Mr. Lu~

Her voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, which only added to her languid allure.

"How about it? This is a special, high-end morning wake-up service I've prepared just for you. Surprised? Unexpected? Do you like it?"

Lu Jun blinked, fully waking up, feeling the real weight on his body, and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"No surprise, but a bit of a shock." He tried to move and found the blanket was tucked in tightly. "So that's why I dreamt of being crushed by an iceberg. It was you. Hyotei, you need to lose weight, you're so heavy."

Hyotei's smile froze instantly, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise:

"……What did you say?!"

She suddenly sat up, slamming her hands down on the bedsheets on either side of Lu Jun's body, almost piling on top of him, and aggressively approached him:

"Say it again?! Don't you know you can't just talk about a girl's weight?! It's taboo! Do you understand?!"

Lu Jun was caught off guard by her sudden close proximity, and the unique, icy fragrance emanating from her body lingered in his nostrils.

He curled his lip and glared back defiantly.
"I'm stating the facts. You're not an ordinary girl; you're an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Soul Beast who has lived for many years!"

"In terms of body size, can you even compare to a normal human girl? With my small frame, I'm lucky I wasn't crushed by you." (End of Chapter)
