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

Chapter 58 Gu Yuena: You smell like another woman.
"what?"

Lu Jun froze instantly.

Did you take it from home?
Did you take several of them?
"Shh-"

Gu Yuena lowered her voice, her tone carrying a rare hint of cunning and a guilty conscience.

"Don't be so loud, otherwise your aunt will definitely ask where this thing came from, and it will be troublesome to explain it then."

"Your soul power is currently depleted, your meridians are damaged, and your qi and blood are deficient. This is the time when you need to replenish your energy. This stuff is most useful for your recovery and building a solid foundation."

Gu Yuena's gaze swept over Lu Jun's pale and tired face, a hint of concern flashing in the depths of her purple eyes.

"Hurry up and put it away, don't dawdle, take it and eat it to recover."

"But the problem is, I don't eat that much," Lu Jun said, troubled.

He remembered that in the original novel, even Tang Wulin, who had a huge appetite, was full after eating just a few, let alone him.

"Then there's no rush, just eat slowly."

"Okay, alright." Lu Jun finally agreed, and said solemnly, "Thank you."

Seeing that he accepted it, Gu Yuena's tense face relaxed, and she regained her aloof demeanor, nodding slightly.

"Yes, get some rest and recover as soon as possible."

She seemed to have completed her most important task and turned to leave again.

Lu Jun, carrying a large amount of valuable gifts, prepared to close the door and meditate.

Just a second before the door was about to close.

Outside the door, Gu Yuena stopped in her tracks once again.

Immediately afterwards, she turned around abruptly, her small nostrils twitching slightly as she sniffed the air carefully and intensely.

Its movements were as swift as a vigilant cat.

Lu Jun froze in mid-air as he closed the door, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yuena's delicate eyebrows gradually furrowed, and her usually calm, deep purple eyes now unusually sharpened, like a hawk spotting its prey.

She raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Jun's face, her red lips parted slightly, and the words she uttered carried a resolute seriousness:

"Lu Jun".

"On you..."

She spoke each word clearly and distinctly:

"She smells like another woman!"

"???"

Lu Jun felt as if an invisible bolt of lightning had struck him precisely on the forehead, causing his lips to twitch uncontrollably and black lines to appear on his forehead. He almost blurted out:

"Are you... are you a puppy?"

Inside the room, Hyotei, who was engrossed in watching videos, suddenly froze. The images on the virtual screen were still flashing, but her eyes widened instantly as she stared in disbelief at the doorway, her expression a complex mix of emotions.

"Not honored!!"

How was the child discovered?
It's one thing for a human with the title of Douluo to discover her, but how come even a human child could discover her?
Ten thousand years ago, she, the Ice Emperor, was the infamous Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, a legendary grim reaper in the human world. Anyone who saw her died.

He can be considered one of the top figures on the mainland.

How come, after ten thousand years, she feels like she's just another face in the roadside in this era?

This frightened Hyotei so much that they immediately hid.

Gu Yuena, standing outside the door, was not annoyed when she heard Lu Jun's question, "You're like a puppy." Instead, she seemed to have confirmed something, slightly raising her delicate chin and intensifying the coldness in her purple eyes.

"The evidence is conclusive. Who else is in your house?"

Holding a chest full of rare and precious medicinal herbs, Lu Jun stood in the doorway, looking at Gu Yuena outside with a serious expression as if she had caught him cheating. He felt a hundred times more troubled than when he had just fought the entire Shrek Academy team. The faint, almost imperceptible trace of extreme cold aura emanating from the Ice Emperor, originating from the essence of a soul beast, was nowhere to be hidden from the keen perception of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the only one in my room. If there were anyone else, my master would have found out long ago, right?"

Lu Jun quietly put the things away in the room.

After staring at Lu Jun for a while, Gu Yuena seemed to remember something:
"Okay, then you should get some rest."

Seeing that Gu Yuena had left, it was Lu Jun's turn to be puzzled.

Dude, you're so inconsistent, one minute you're nervous and the next you're indifferent. Are you kidding me?

Women change their expressions so quickly, faster than turning the pages of a book.

Lu Jun shook his head, closed the door, and began to eat these rare and precious herbs to recover his body as quickly as possible.

After taking a bite of the large black steamed bun, Lu Jun felt an indescribable surge of warmth explode from his stomach, like a raging torrent of lava bursting its banks, violently rushing towards his limbs and bones.

The terrifying energy contained in that large black steamed bun far exceeded his imagination.

"Well."

He groaned, his face instantly turning from pale to an unnatural flush, veins bulging on his forehead, and his body trembling uncontrollably.

The meridians, which were originally only somewhat depleted, now felt as if they had been forcibly stuffed with a raging beast, bulging and about to burst, with a dense, needle-like stinging sensation coming from all directions.

Even more embarrassingly, a warm liquid uncontrollably gushed out of his nostrils.

Two lines of bright red blood trickled down his nose, dripping onto his shirt, a shocking sight.

"Hiss... This is too nourishing!!" Lu Jun frantically tried to cover his nose, but the violent energy within him was still surging around, making it almost impossible for him to concentrate.

He felt like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit, ready to burst at any moment.

Hyotei, who had been hiding, emerged again and immediately shouted:
"Quickly sit down and meditate, I'll help you digest a little."

As he spoke, Hyotei raised his hand and released a wisp of cold air that shot straight towards Lu Jun's brow.

Lu Jun felt an indescribable chill instantly suppress the violent heat and tearing sensation within his body, as if a scalding hot iron had been thrown into ancient ice.

The extreme cold did not cause any harm; instead, it forcefully regulated and soothed the massive medicinal power surging within his body, guiding it to flow to his limbs and bones.

The excruciating pain subsided quickly, replaced by a feeling of soreness and tightness that was forcibly widened and filled.

Lu Jun dared not delay and immediately sat down cross-legged, fully activating his cultivation technique to guide the vast energy within his body that had been forcibly processed by the Ice Emperor.

He could clearly feel that the solid bottleneck leading to level thirty-four was rapidly loosening due to the massive amount of pure energy provided by the black steamed bun.

Soul power level is climbing at an unprecedented rate.

Not long after, Lu Junshui naturally broke through to level thirty-four.

Lu Jun's eyes widened.

"Just one bite and I've leveled up to thirty-four!"

"It's definitely a good product."

……

In the corridor, Gu Yuena stood quietly for a moment, her silver hair gleaming coldly under the light.

She didn't delve into Lu Jun's secret. Just as Zi Ji had said, it was best to let things take their natural course. Getting too close would only make her intentions too obvious and would cause others to feel disgusted.

Besides, everyone has their own secrets, and she has hers too.

Thinking of this, the gentleness in Gu Yuena's eyes completely vanished, replaced by an almost tangible killing intent.

She took out her communicator, dialed a number, and said coldly after the call connected:

"How's the investigation into this human, Tang Wulin, going? Have you found out the origin of the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him?"
