The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 304 Eavesdropping

The room was empty, with flickering lights and only the crisp sound of glasses clinking.

The four of them grew up together and were very close. In addition, Dugu Yan would tease him from time to time, so Li Xun had some different feelings for her.

The reason he hadn't made a move was because he saw through Dugu Yan's empty talk.

I wanted to see if the other person was as brave as they usually appeared.

Just as he had predicted, after the Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong incident, Dugu Yan seemed to have turned into an ostrich.

I no longer tell dirty jokes, and I don't even dare to breathe hot air into my ear anymore.

Is it really that scary? Li Xun was puzzled.

However, he's been quite busy lately, so he hasn't had a chance to find out.

After downing a mouthful of the strong liquor, Li Xun felt a burning sensation, causing him to frown: "Sister Yan, why did you buy such strong liquor?"

"If I remember correctly, this should be your first time drinking, right?" Dugu Yan covered her mouth and giggled, "You'll get used to it."

This was indeed the first time Li Xun had ever drunk alcohol since he was a child, but he always felt that something was wrong.

That's too intense.

After taking a sip of the wine, I felt my body warm up.

"Is this some kind of alcohol?" Li Xun looked at Dugu Yan with suspicion.

Otherwise, how could he have such a noticeable reaction given his current cultivation level and physique?

"Here, just have a couple of bites of food."

Dugu Yan felt that she had laughed a little too loudly, so she quickly pursed her lips and picked up her chopsticks to put a piece of salted chicken on Li Xun's plate.

"Alright, I was quite naive." Li Xun chuckled, enjoying Dugu Yan's service, and preparing to see what tricks this girl was up to.

However, after the second and third drinks, he truly sensed something unusual.

热

If the heat just now was because it was the first time drinking alcohol and the body wasn't used to it, then there's definitely a problem now.

At that moment, Li Xun felt his body temperature rise sharply, his heart pounded, and an unnamed fire seemed to spread in his heart. He quickly took off his coat and then examined his own condition.

Poisoned wine?

The idea flashed through Li Xun's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Putting aside his relationship with Dugu Bo and his grandson, anyone who knows they are immune to all poisons would not use this method to harm themselves. Besides, his years of pharmacology knowledge were not for nothing.

Li Xun withdrew from his inner vision and looked at Dugu Yan: "Did you add something to the wine? Did Grandpa Dugu give it to you?"

He just checked himself and found that he was in good condition. Well, not just good, but his body was in a state of extreme excitement.

This state of heightened activity in all the cells of his body means that he can only achieve about half of his potential when fighting others.

The only thing that could cause his body to be in this state was not poisoning, but that one particular medicine. Moreover, ordinary medicine wouldn't work because it would be quickly absorbed by his body.

It must be a powerful tonic that Old Deng specially concocted for himself.

Li Xun picked up the wine glass and examined it closely. Sure enough, there was a tiny bit of pale yellow in the wine.

Looking into Dugu Yan's eyes: "Didn't Grandpa Dugu tell you the dosage?"

"What are you talking about?" Dugu Yan blinked, forcing herself to meet Li Xun's gaze.

"You'll find out what I'm talking about in a minute."

Li Xun laughed, took off his clothes, and casually tossed them onto a chair next to him: "Do you remember what I told you on Seagod Island?"

"What?!" Dugu Yan's eyes darted around, no longer daring to look in Li Xun's direction.

Li Xun walked to Dugu Yan's side, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "I'm telling you, the more you provoke me, the more you'll suffer in the end."

Dugu Yan thought of that rainy night on Poseidon Island, and her heart trembled. A tingling sensation ran through her body, and her legs tightened.

Her voice trembled slightly: "You should have finished drinking, right? If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After saying that, she was about to get up, but Li Xun's big hand was like a steel plate. He didn't seem to exert any force, but Dugu Yan just couldn't stand up.

Li Xun gently blew a warm breath into Dugu Yan's ear: "You've been here for so long, and you've only had three drinks with me, without saying a word. Why are you already thinking of leaving?"

"And you drank it too, why are you fine?"

Feeling the hot breath on her ear, Dugu Yan shrank back.

Her face instantly turned as red as a ripe peach: "How should I know? Maybe you're allergic to alcohol?"

"Yeah?"

Li Xun massaged Dugu Yan's shoulder with one hand, and with the other hand, he picked up the wine pot from the table and brought it closer to his face. He looked at it carefully and said, "Oh ho, there are even special little props."

Caught red-handed, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with panic, and she immediately felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She tried to get up several times, but was held down. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her body lighten and was lifted up by the waist.

"Ah!" Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Feeling the softness of the peach on his fingertips, Li Xun smiled.

"Could it be that he ran off to Zhuqing's place?" Ning Rongrong tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and couldn't help but wonder why Li Xun hadn't come today.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Once the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't stay in bed any longer.

Ning Rongrong sat up abruptly in bed, quickly put on her shoes, threw on a coat, and headed out the door.

She was still jealous about Zhu Zhuqing's situation, but what was done was done. She had feelings for him, and he had already taken advantage of her. She would feel like she was losing out if she left Ning Rongrong in a fit of pique.

Fortunately, the three of them had developed a tacit understanding, so they were able to live in peace.

"This guy should have thought of this a long time ago." Ning Rongrong was annoyed at the thought, and suddenly felt that she had been tricked by Li Xun.

Ning Rongrong's room was next to Li Xun's, but she did not stay there and went to the door of Zhu Zhuqing's room instead.

I secretly put my ear to the door and listened, but I didn't hear anything.

It must be said that the soundproofing of rooms on the mainland is much better than that on the island.

This thought inexplicably popped into Ning Rongrong's mind.

"Maybe he went out on something." Ning Rongrong hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door. Soon after, she heard the door open.

"What's wrong, Rongrong?" Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her eyes.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to chat with you. Since you're already asleep, I'll be going now," Ning Rongrong said somewhat apologetically.

Zhu Zhuqing regained some clarity and looked at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

According to the unspoken rules among the three, Li Xun should be in Ning Rongrong's room at this time, but he is now appearing at their door, which means something must have happened.

However, she wisely refrained from saying anything more and instead made room for her, saying, "It's alright, I'm awake anyway, come in and sit down."

This made Ning Rongrong feel a little embarrassed to leave.

The two entered the room and froze for a moment, unsure of where to begin their conversation.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was more composed and managed to steer the conversation towards cultivation, and the two gradually started chatting.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, because occasional noises could be heard from next door.

Although the voices were soft, both of them were Soul Masters with considerable cultivation, so they naturally noticed the anomaly.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, then quickly held their breath and strained to listen.

The room from which the noise came was Li Xun's residence.

Gradually, the sound grew louder and louder, and it even sounded like someone begging for mercy.

What do you mean, "be gentle, go slowly"? It hurts.

The two men's expressions changed.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and remained silent, secretly glancing at Ning Rongrong.

"Lone Goose"

Ning Rongrong blushed and gritted her teeth: "Who would have thought she would sneak into Li Xun's room on her own? She's shameless."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and brushed her hair aside.

Compared to them, they are indeed a bit lacking.
