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

Chapter 279 The mighty Silver Dragon King was thrown out.
Leng Yulai's reproachful tone carried a hint of helplessness, yet it made her all the more charming.

Gu Yuena stood aside, watching Leng Yulai's gentle and considerate actions, the natural intimacy she showed when she approached Lu Jun, and Lu Jun's compliant and even slightly enjoyable expression when she fed him soup.

An intense, overwhelming feeling of bitterness surged up from the depths of her heart without warning, instantly engulfing her.

She felt a tightness in her chest, her fingers involuntarily curled up, and a hint of irritation and displeasure, which she herself was unaware of, flashed deep within her purple vertical pupils.

Why does she feel so uncomfortable seeing other women getting close to Lu Jun?

Lu Jun rolled his eyes helplessly and quickly explained, his voice trembling with a weak cough:

"Ahem... What are you all thinking? This is the Dark Phoenix, Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai, my teacher's younger sister. My teacher is busy dealing with the aftermath of yesterday's incident and doesn't have time to come, so she asked my aunt to take care of my daily life."

"What's wrong with you all? Your heads are full of lewd nonsense. Put it away right now!"

"Ah? So she's Her Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix's sister?"

"Disrespect, disrespect!"

"Your Majesty Dark Phoenix, please don't mind the brief incident just now."

Xie Xie and the other two were instantly embarrassed, their faces turning bright red. They quickly changed the subject, pretending to cough to cover it up.

"Ahem, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Greetings, Your Majesty Dark Phoenix!"

"Yes, yes, we are concerned about Brother Lu."

"Brother Lu, you should get some rest!"

The atmosphere became slightly awkward. Everyone quickly offered the gifts they had brought.

Various kinds of dried meat, rare fruits, and even a star-shaped pendant that Xu Xiaoyan had carefully prepared, which was said to bring good luck.

Everyone chatted for a while about things at the college, trying to ease the awkwardness from before.

It was almost time for the visit, so Leng Yulai stood up at the opportune moment, adopting the demeanor of a nun and temporary guardian, and began to shoo people away:
"Alright, alright, Lu Jun has received your kind wishes. What he needs now is rest. You bunch of little monkeys are too noisy, go back and don't disturb the patient's rest."

"Oh, yes, Your Majesty!"

"Brother Lu, take good care of your injury!"

"Brother Lu, we're waiting for you to come back. We're going to Shrek City to challenge them in a month!"

Everyone said goodbye with reluctance.

Gu Yuena paused slightly, as if she wanted to stay a little longer, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

Leng Yulai seemed to have read her mind. She walked directly in front of her, stretched out her slender hand, and unexpectedly grabbed Gu Yuena by the back of her collar.

"Eh?"

Caught off guard, Gu Yuena let out a short gasp.

With a forceful lift of her arm, Leng Yulai easily hoisted Gu Yuena up as if she were carrying a disobedient kitten.

"Little brat, what are you looking at? Don't want to leave?"

Leng Yulai looked at her with a half-smile, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"The patient needs rest, so get out too!"

Before she could finish speaking, she flicked her wrist.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Yuena felt a gentle yet irresistible force come over her, and she was lightly thrown out of the ward. The door slammed shut behind her, cutting off everything inside.

Gu Yuena staggered a step to her feet, her silver hair slightly disheveled, her face instantly filled with disbelief, embarrassment, and blush.

She, the mighty Silver Dragon King, was actually thrown out like a kitten?
Still in front of Lu Jun!
This is simply... simply an utter disgrace!
She glared at the tightly closed door, her teeth clenched in anger, sparks flying from her purple vertical pupils.

The ward was finally quiet.

Leng Yulai breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that the footsteps outside the door had faded away and then scanned the area with her mental energy to make sure there were no listening devices or other people around.

As she walked back to the bedside, the gentle expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a half-smile, a hint of mockery and scrutiny.

She crossed her arms and looked down at Lu Jun, who was leaning against the bed and whose complexion seemed a little rosier. Her red lips parted slightly:
"Phew... I've finished this charade with you. I've checked this ward; there are no security cameras, and the soundproofing is excellent."

She leaned slightly closer to Lu Jun, her captivating eyes gleaming, her voice low and playful:
"So, my dear Lu Jun... now, there are no spectators. Can you tell your aunt how long you're going to keep up this act of weakness?"

Leng Yulai's stunningly beautiful face suddenly drew close, so close that Lu Jun could clearly see her flawless skin without a single pore, feel her warm breath brushing against his cheek, and count her slightly trembling long eyelashes.

A playful glint flashed in her captivating purple eyes, and her red lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchids.

This distance is too dangerous.

They're either going to fight or they're going to kiss.

Lu Jun's heart began to pound uncontrollably, a surge of heat rushed to his head, and his cheeks and ears burned bright red.

Almost instinctively, with a touch of embarrassment, he abruptly turned his head away, avoiding the aggressive gaze and the red lips so close to his own, his voice hoarse with embarrassment:

"It'll take at least a week... It can't get better too quickly, otherwise... they'll get suspicious..."

"Giggle..."

Looking at Lu Jun's blushing and flustered appearance, Leng Yulai couldn't help but let out a string of clear, bell-like laughs, her eyes full of mischief and a sense of surprise as if she had discovered a new continent.

Where is this the same cold-blooded killing god who, like a deity descending to earth, slew four Super Douluo with a single sword strike in Maple Leaf City and pulled her out of the abyss of despair?
This is clearly a shy, innocent young man experiencing his first love, so shy he wants to disappear into the ground.

The stark contrast amused her, and she found it incredibly endearing.

"A week..."

Leng Yulai deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes gleaming with even more cunning.

Instead of backing away, she leaned forward and slammed her slender hand against the wall beside Lu Jun's head with a "smack," instantly creating a very imposing wall slam.

A faint, unique fragrance belonging to Leng Yulai instantly enveloped Lu Jun completely.

She tilted her head slightly, forcefully turning his face back to hers, forcing him to look directly into her eyes, which were so close to his.

"Then wouldn't I be..." Leng Yulai's red lips curved into a seductive smile, her voice low and carrying a hint of teasing, "being expected by your classmates to take care of you personally for a whole week?"

At that moment, Lu Jun felt like his head was about to explode.

All that remained in his vision was Leng Yulai's stunningly beautiful face and her vibrant red lips.

Such close proximity, such an ambiguous posture, such provocative words…

His mind uncontrollably flashed back to that night in Maple Leaf City.

In a desperate attempt to save her from her severe injuries and unconsciousness, how did he manage to feed her the life-saving pill with his own mouth...?

The soft, slightly cool touch of those lips, carrying a hint of blood, seemed to be instantly revived in his memory, impacting his senses with unparalleled clarity.
