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

Chapter 455 Go find Hades Douluo Harosa!

"That's right, that's right, Leng Yaozhu, you're really reliable. I didn't expect that humans could be so smart, although I had already thought of that!"

Hyotei happily echoed, then her gaze darted around and suddenly landed on the ominous sign that made Leng Yaozhu appear even more arrogant as she sat.

The next second, before Leng Yaozhu could react at all, Hyotei suddenly stretched out her two little hands with a grin.

"And this place is super reliable too, wow! How come you're so much older than me?! Ugh!"

"Hey—!!! What are you doing?!"

Leng Yaozhu shuddered violently as if she had been electrocuted, and was so ashamed that she almost jumped up from her seat. Her cheeks turned so red that they seemed to bleed, and her exclamation was full of shame and indignation.

Hyotei, however, looked on with envy, jealousy, and resentment, pouting and complaining:
"This is so unfair! It's so big... Doesn't that mean Lu Jun likes you more?! Isn't that right, Xue Di? Tell me the truth!"

Xue Di, who had been quietly watching the show from the sidelines, was finally called upon. A very subtle hint of helplessness flashed across her cold and beautiful face as she silently turned her head toward the car window, presenting the back of her head to them.

Show it through actions:
"Don't drag me into this. I don't know this infatuated scorpion. You guys continue."

Thus, amidst Leng Yaozhu's uncontrollable scolding and Bingdi's unrestrained antics, the carriage was filled with all sorts of blush-inducing, suggestive words and laughter, creating a lively yet ambiguous atmosphere.

Lu Jun felt his blood boil as he listened, so he could only raise his hand to his forehead and make an expression that said, "I don't know them" and "I'm not familiar with this car."

Amidst the chaotic and joyous celebratory atmosphere, the luxurious Soul Guidance Car finally drove into the magnificent city gates of Mingdu, leaving behind the harsh cold and bloodshed of the far north.

……

The Soul Guided Car smoothly navigated through the dazzling three-dimensional transportation network of Mingdu. Outside the window, skyscrapers and holographic projection advertisements sped by. Finally back in Mingdu, the futuristic urban landscape of Mingdu stood in stark contrast to the primitive desolation of the far north.

Inside the car, Leng Yaozhu was slightly out of breath, having barely recovered from the embarrassment of the attack and the inappropriate words from Hyotei.

A charming blush lingered on her flushed face, and her eyes and brows, still bearing traces of playfulness, revealed a rare and alluring charm that was quite different from her usual dignified demeanor.

She subconsciously straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, her gaze shifting until it landed on Lu Jun in the passenger seat.

That glance, tinged with lingering shyness, a hint of dependence, and an undeniable tenderness, was a natural expression of a thousand charms. It made Lu Jun's heart skip a beat. He quickly activated the Ice Abyss Sword, letting a cool aura circulate, forcibly suppressing the momentary flutter and allowing reason to regain control of his mind.

Leng Yaozhu seemed oblivious to her own allure. Her voice returned to its usual gentleness, yet still carried a barely perceptible hint of breathlessness as she asked:

"By the way, what are you planning to do with those five water-attribute soul bones?"

"It just so happens to be a public occasion, and it was given to you personally by the Speaker, so the source is clear and legitimate. You can take this opportunity to greatly increase your soul power without arousing any suspicion, which is perfectly reasonable."

Lu Jun pondered for a moment and said:

"Since the Federation Treasury no longer has any ice-attribute 100,000-year-old soul bones available for exchange, this path is blocked."

"It seems I'll have to go to the Spirit Pagoda and ask someone there."

"Who?"

Leng Yaozhu turned her head curiously to the side.

Within the Spirit Pagoda, who else can meet the demand for top-tier soul bones that even the Federation Treasury couldn't manage?
Lu Jun made a startling remark, uttering a name:
"Hades Douluo, Halosa."

"!!!"

Leng Yaozhu's body jolted, and her grip on the steering wheel tightened instinctively.

She looked at Lu Jun in astonishment, her voice filled with deep worry:
"You...you're going to find him? Aren't you afraid...that your true identity will be completely exposed in front of him? Although His Majesty Harosa is indeed on the side of our Spirit Pagoda and cares about the stability of the continent, he..."

"Teacher, have you forgotten when you checked my identity at the Spirit Pagoda last time?"

Lu Jun interrupted her. "At that time, besides Sister Yu Lai and Teacher Gu, the only person who stood up for me without hesitation was His Majesty Harosa."

Lu Jun recalled the scene at that time, and his eyes became deep:
“His tone was very certain, even certain. It was as if he already knew my true background, and he even directly told me not to be afraid, that if anything happened, he would protect me and no one could touch me.”

He paused, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness and inquiry:

"That confidence... was not unfounded. It was an absolute confidence that seemed to allow him to take on all the powerful figures in the entire Spirit Pagoda headquarters, including the Beast God Di Tian who was present at the time."

"Even now, thinking back on it, I'm still shocked. Could it be... that this Hades Douluo also possesses some incredibly powerful trump card, enough to make him fearless against top experts like Di Tian?"

A complex, bitter smile appeared on Lu Jun's face as he sighed:

"It seems that each of the so-called strongest 'four humans and one beast' on the continent possesses a trump card that far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people."

"Yun Ming has a complete divine position, Chen Xinjie has the Sea God's artifact, Di Tian has the Dragon God's Claw, and Xu Tiandi has half a divine position, seven or eight level-ten soul tools, a national fortune artifact, and the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom hidden within his body..."

"However, the trump card of this Hades Douluo Harosa remains unknown. These five are indeed beings of unparalleled talent on the continent, completely on a different level from other quasi-gods."

Hearing Lu Jun's analysis, Leng Yaozhu also fell into deep thought.

Now that he says that, Harosa's performance last time was indeed unusually strong and mysterious.

Moreover, he sided with Lu Jun without hesitation.

That makes sense now. At the time, Leng Yaozhu was quite curious as to why this Underworld King Douluo was always standing next to Lu Jun...

She's even more protective of her own than Leng Yulai.

“Since His Majesty Harosa may have already known your identity, yet still chose to keep it a secret and even protect you…” Leng Yaozhu looked ahead and slowly said, “Then, regardless of his motives, at least for now, he should be trustworthy. However…”

She looked at Lu Jun again, her beautiful eyes filled with worry:
"Do you need me to come with you? Just in case... I mean, just in case something unexpected happens, I can..."

Lu Jun reached out and gently patted her hand, which was resting on her crotch. The touch was cool and soft, and he gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, teacher. If anything unexpected or the worst happens, I will make sure you and Sister Yu Lai leave the Spirit Pagoda safely as soon as possible."

"In any case, I absolutely do not want to see you suffer any harm because of me."

His words carried an undeniable protectiveness.

Leng Yaozhu felt the reassuring warmth and strength emanating from his palm, and her worries were inexplicably soothed, replaced by a warm current.

Just then, the Soul Guided Car slowly lowered its altitude and drove into a dedicated passage.

We've arrived at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The car was smoothly parked in its designated parking space.

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath and looked at Lu Jun:
"Do you need me to wait for you?"

Lu Jun unbuckled his seatbelt, shook his head, and smiled easily.
"No need, teacher. You go ahead and do your work. Or, help me plan my escape route. If nothing unexpected happens, I can go back on my own after visiting His Majesty Harosa."

After saying that, he opened the car door and stepped towards the technologically advanced gate leading to the core area of ​​the Spirit Pagoda.

His back was straight and composed, as if he were just visiting an ordinary elder.

Leng Yaozhu sat in the car, watching his figure disappear behind the door. She gently gripped the steering wheel and murmured to herself:
"Be careful..."
