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

Chapter 918 Accompanying Two Goddesses Shopping
Tang Wutong's exquisite face froze instantly, her pink and blue eyes widened, almost thinking she had misheard.

Watch...watch the house?
I?
The daughter of a god-king, a first-class goddess of beauty, is to stay behind... to guard the house?
What's the difference between this and a watchdog?!

An indescribable sense of shame, indignation, and frustration surged through her, making her want to retort immediately.

However, as soon as this thought arose, she felt Lu Jun's gaze fall on her again. His gaze was so calm that it sent chills down her spine, as if it could penetrate her skin and look directly into the insignificant will to resist deep within her soul.

Tang Wutong's delicate body trembled violently, as if an invisible icy water had been poured over her head, freezing all her dissatisfaction and grievances instantly.

She quickly lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes, her voice barely audible, trembling slightly:

"Yes...yes, I understand. I...I will definitely take good care of the house!"

"Please rest assured that no suspicious people or things will be allowed to approach!"

She even subconsciously straightened her back, adopting a posture that resembled "guaranteeing to complete the mission," but her lowered eyelids and slightly flushed cheeks betrayed the complexity and submission in her heart.

Lu Jun nodded almost imperceptibly, stopped looking at her, and turned to walk out of the villa with Xue Di and Bing Di.

Tang Wutong was left standing alone in the empty living room, facing the closed door, her heart filled with confusion and despair.

I actually... became the watchdog?

Tang Wutong, you are a goddess of beauty, a princess of the divine realm! Where is your pride?

……

For the rest of the day, Lu Jun got a firsthand experience of what it was like to accompany two stunningly beautiful goddesses, each with a different yet equally captivating aura, shopping.

Mingdu was indeed filled with a festive atmosphere today. Colorful flags and soul-guided lanterns celebrating the phased victory were hung on both sides of the street, many shops offered discounts, and the crowds were denser than usual.

The air was filled with the aroma of various snacks, the fragrance of flowers, and the vibrant energy brought by the bustling crowd.

Hyotei's eyes were full of wonder. She was very interested in all kinds of ingenious gadgets and unique snacks in the human world. Sometimes she would pull Lu Jun to a sugar painting stall and watch the artist use hot sugar syrup to paint lifelike phoenixes or dragons.

At times, she was drawn by the aroma of barbecue wafting through the air and tugged at Lu Jun's sleeve, trying to squeeze in that direction.

She was already stunningly beautiful, with a cool yet lively temperament. Now, she was completely relaxed, her smile as bright as a flower, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

Xue Di was much quieter; she was more like an observer, her cool gaze slowly sweeping over the dazzling array of shops, the bustling crowds, the whimsical amusement rides, and the wonderful performances by street artists.

She rarely asked to stay, but when Lu Jun or Hyotei asked for her opinion, she could always give a precise and concise evaluation.

Xue Di walked quietly beside Lu Jun, occasionally having to get closer due to the crowd. When their sleeves touched, he could feel the faint chill of the snow emanating from her body, as well as a subtle tension.

Caught between the two, Lu Jun had to deal with Hyotei's strong curiosity and desire to buy, even though he was not short of money, and he also had to keep an eye on Yuki's condition to prevent her from being bothered by the noisy environment.

Along the way, he received countless envious, jealous, and even amazed glances from passersby, whether open or subtle.

Those gazes seemed to be saying, "What has this young man done to deserve having two such stunning beauties by his side?"
Lu Jun was already used to this, and felt no emotion whatsoever; in fact, he even felt a little amused.

If these people knew that the two beauties beside them were overlords of the far north who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and could freeze thousands of miles in an instant, I wonder what they would think.

Shopping, eating, drinking, and experiencing all sorts of novelties, time flies by.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the evening glow painted the sky of Mingdu with a magnificent crimson and golden orange.

"I heard... there will be a large-scale fireworks display tonight at Yingyue Lake in the east of the city, which is the grand finale of this celebration."

Hyotei licked the last candied hawthorn in her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Lu Jun with anticipation.

Xue Di nodded slightly:
"I just passed by a signboard and it did mention it. Apparently, it's quite large."

Lu Jun glanced at the sky, then at the expectant looks in the eyes of the two goddesses, and nodded.
"Alright, let's go take a look then." ...

Yingyue Lake is located in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu and is a beautiful natural lake.

The lakeside was already packed with people who had come to watch the fireworks, filled with laughter and joy, creating a lively atmosphere.

On the grassy lakeside, many families spread out tablecloths and sat around them, waiting for the fireworks to go off.

Lu Jun and his two companions found a small earthen mound, a little away from the main group and close to the water.

The location is slightly elevated, offering a wide view while avoiding the most crowded areas.

The grass was soft and damp, carrying the coolness of the night.

They sat on the ground.

Hyotei sat to Lu Jun's left, while Yukitei sat quietly to his right.

A refreshing night breeze blew from the lake, carrying moist air, and ruffled the hair and clothes of the three people.

The city lights in the distance and the shimmering waves on the nearby lake reflect each other, while the sky is a deep, inky blue, dotted with a few sparse stars.

"The scenery here is really beautiful."

Hyotei took a deep breath and stretched his arms.

"It's much more beautiful than the unchanging snowfields of the far north. Humans... really know how to live."

Xue Di didn't reply, but simply gazed quietly at the lights and sky reflected on the lake, her icy blue eyes appearing even deeper and more serene in the night.

"boom--!"

The first firework suddenly shot into the sky at that moment.

With a sharp whistling sound, a golden arrow of light pierced the night sky and burst open at its highest point.

In an instant, countless golden streams of fire, like an inverted waterfall or blooming chrysanthemums, shone brightly and illuminated half of the sky.

"Wow!"

Hyotei couldn't help but gasp softly, her eyes reflecting a dazzling light.

Soon after, more fireworks followed.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Crimson, indigo, emerald green, silver... clusters of light of various colors rose into the sky, weaving ever-changing patterns in the air.

Sometimes it's a giant peony in full bloom, sometimes it's a shimmering koi swimming gracefully, and sometimes it's a shower of meteors falling from the sky.

The explosions continued incessantly, each one accompanied by gasps and cheers from the crowd.

The colorful lights painted the night sky like a dreamlike tapestry, reflecting on the calm lake surface and creating a spectacular scene of shimmering light and color.

"so beautiful……"

Hyotei murmured, completely captivated by the brief, dazzling spectacle created by human wisdom and soul guidance techniques.

"Is this... the charm of human cities? It must be wonderful to live in a technologically advanced human city."
