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

Chapter 104: Results of Negotiations with the Tang Clan
Seeing Lu Jun's decisive refusal, Wu Changkong's eyes showed no displeasure, but rather a barely perceptible hint of approval.

He nodded slightly:
"understood."

Without saying another word, he picked up the lesson plan from the podium, turned around, and left the classroom.

"Sigh..." In the corner of the classroom, Long Chen grabbed his messy hair in frustration, looking at the introduction to the second profession on the communicator. "Mecha manufacturing is too complicated, and design is even more brain-intensive... Which one should I choose?"

At this moment, Tang Wulin walked over, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Long Chen:

"Long Chen, you have a dragon-type martial soul, the Holy Light Dragon, right? You should be very strong. Do you want to learn forging from me?"

"Forging is the foundation of crafting battle armor materials. Great strength is very helpful for forging!"

"Forging?" Long Chen's eyes lit up. Hammering iron blocks?
It sounds like it might suit my straightforward personality quite well?

"Sounds good. Okay, then after school, I'll go with you to the forging association and you can teach me."

"Okay." Tang Wulin nodded happily. He was also very happy to be able to learn forging with a classmate.

Just as Tang Wulin and Long Chen made their agreement, Gu Yuena, who had been sitting quietly in the front row, glanced at Tang Wulin with her deep purple eyes, seemingly unintentionally.

Her gaze lingered on him for an extremely brief moment, a barely perceptible glint flashing deep within her eyes.

Even after having his bloodline stripped from the Golden Dragon King, this child is still alive?

Not only did he not die, but he also gained an extremely pure and vibrant aura of blessing...

The source of this aura... is it the goddess of life?

It turns out the goddess of life blessed him; no wonder he didn't die.

Gu Yuena suddenly realized.

Those guys in the God Realm... Hmph, it seems that this Tang Wulin is indeed not simple. Is he a descendant of some important figure in the God Realm?

The wild god protecting him had also disappeared; it seemed he indeed dared not follow.

Just as Gu Yuena's gaze swept over, Lu Jun, who possessed powerful mental perception, immediately caught her barely perceptible glance.

Following Gu Yuena's gaze, he naturally saw Tang Wulin talking to Long Chen.

Now that Tang Wulin already possesses twin martial souls, the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer...

So, Gu Yuena's attack that time did indeed cleanly and efficiently take away the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and also severely injured the divine senses of Tang Hao and Tang San who were protecting him, right?
Well done!

But... judging from his appearance, he seems quite energetic?
Hopefully, Gu Yuena can put in more effort and find an opportunity to completely eliminate the remaining trace of Tang San's divine sense from his body.

That thing, if left in Douluo Continent, will be a disaster sooner or later.

Lu Jun withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to that side.

He stood up and whispered to Gu Yuena beside him:
"I'm going back to my dorm now."

"Hmm." Gu Yuena responded softly, her gaze still fixed on the design drawing in her hand, as if the observation she had just made had never happened.

Lu Jun didn't linger. He turned around and walked out of the still somewhat noisy classroom alone.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the corridor windows, elongating his shadow.

He needed to get back to his training as quickly as possible. The path to becoming stronger was long and urgent, allowing no room for complacency.

……

The night was as dark as ink, and the hustle and bustle of Mingdu was kept out by the dormitory's excellent soundproofing system.

Lu Jun had just finished a round of mental energy micro-management training, his forehead still covered in fine beads of sweat, and was about to grab something to eat when there was a gentle knock on the dormitory door.

As I opened the door, a familiar scent, carrying a faint, cool fragrance, wafted towards me.

Leng Yulai stood gracefully outside the door, holding an exquisite insulated food container in her hand, with a lazy and alluring smile on her face.

"Little one, you forget to eat when you're cultivating, don't you?" She shook the food box in her hand, her voice carrying a hint of reproach, but more of doting affection. "Here, your aunt specially brought this for you; it's all your favorite food."

Lu Jun felt a warmth in his heart and quickly stepped aside to let her in:

"Thank you, Auntie, you are so kind to me."

This feeling of being cared for by elders is especially precious in a foreign land.

Moreover, Leng Yulai really takes good care of him, even more so than Leng Yaozhu.

Perhaps it was because Leng Yaozhu was a teacher of the gods that she was always very strict with him, while Leng Yulai, on the contrary, found it very easy to get along with him.

"Hehehe..." Leng Yulai seemed amused by his earnest thanks, letting out a burst of laughter. Her chest heaved, and her eyes sparkled with charm.

She casually placed the food box on the table, then suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her jade-like arm, and pulled Lu Jun, who hadn't even reacted yet, into her arms.

Lu Jun's body froze instantly. The scent of Leng Yulai, a blend of mature feminine fragrance and a faint hint of darkness, lingered around his nose, adding to her alluring charm.

His cheek was forced against her soft, warm shoulder and neck.

“Little guy,” Leng Yulai lowered her head, her red lips almost touching his ear, her warm breath spraying on his sensitive earlobe, her voice carrying a hint of teasing and barely perceptible tenderness, “I quite like you, Shishu. You’re hardworking, talented, and most importantly, so good-looking, aren’t you?”

Lu Jun's face flushed red instantly, her heart pounded like a drum, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

Leng Yulai seemed quite satisfied with his reaction, hugging him for a few more seconds before letting go, but her hands remained on his shoulders. Looking at his flushed cheeks, she smiled even more happily.

"However, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."

The romantic feelings in Lu Jun's heart vanished instantly. He abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise:

"Master Aunt? You're going to... negotiate? What's the final result?"

"Hmm." Leng Yulai casually flicked her loose hair, her posture languid and her tone nonchalant, as if she were talking about a trivial matter. "After a day of haggling, it's finally settled. The Tang Clan has agreed to provide a top-grade natural treasure from their Ice and Fire Secret Realm as compensation."

"According to their description, it's at least a 100,000-year-old immortal herb, and its attributes are absolutely compatible with your ultimate ice. Tsk tsk, this time they're showing a rare level of sincerity."

The sarcasm in her tone was undisguised.

“However…” Leng Yulai changed the subject, her red lips curving into a confident yet slightly disdainful smile, “Whether they come to our Spirit Pagoda headquarters or we go to their Tang Clan headquarters, neither of us trusts the other’s territory, fearing that if we stay there, we won’t be able to come back.”

"Therefore, the location will be a neutral small town that is 108,000 miles away from both Mingdu and Shrek City. It will be convenient for both sides, and I will personally go to receive it."

"Don't worry, Auntie is very good at this kind of errand-running."
