Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Ling Yun could not help but let out a deep sigh in his heart. He knew this question would be asked sooner or later.

“Ehm… Don’t you know? It’s all due to your shopping spree. As you can see, my family’s poor so we don’t eat a lot. And after moving around so much of course I’ll slim down!” Ling Yun exclaimed. He was saying whatever that came to mind, forgetting that the explanation he gave Xue Meining was different from what he told his sister.

As for Xue Meining, she did not believe it at all. Ignoring his explanation, she stared hard at his left cheek. After a few moments, she suddenly stretched out her fair and delicate forefinger, poking gently at the dimple on Ling Yun’s face.

“What a cute dimple! But why is there only one instead of two?” Xue Meining exclaimed, both of her eyes shining brightly.

Caught off guard, Ling Yun immediately backed away before blurting out, “You’re only allowed to see not touch! Understood?”

Xue Meining’s eyes widened as she made puppy eyes at Ling Yun before saying, “Come one, just a poke? Just one poke!”

Here it was again! Xue Meining’s usual tactics! Ling Yun bit down on his lips as he searched for a solution. After a few seconds, he smiles before speaking.

“You want to touch? Sure, one poke for a hundred dollars, as long as you pay you can touch all you want!”

Ling Yun was lucky that the clinic was empty. Or else, anyone present would have scolded him for being so thick skinned! Such a beauty wanted to touch his face and he wanted to charge her for it? A hundred for a touch? How desperate for money was he?

Yet to his surprise, Xue Meining’s response was even more mind-boggling! Xue Meining bent down to pick up her handbag, and from within her handbag she took out a roll of hundred dollar notes and pressed it against Ling Yun’s chest. That was followed by her arrogantly announcing, “Let’s start with ten thousand dollars’ worth!”

“Uhgg…” Ling Yun was stupefied and almost choked on his own saliva. His plan had backfired!

However, his face remained composed as he squeezed the money into his pocket. ‘If you want to touch so badly, go ahead! This is just selling one’s art and definitely not selling one’s body!’ Ling Yun thought to himself.

Having given the money and seeing that Ling Yun was no longer avoiding her, Xue Meining’s face lit up with impish glee as she pounced forward. With both hands, she used her forefingers, then her thumb and finally her pinky as she fidgeted with his dimple. In one moment she was comparing the size of Ling Yun’s temple and in the other, she was trying to see how deep it went. She was stroking, pinching, pressing and squeezing Ling Yun’s dimple with delight. Even though Ling Yun’s left cheek had become her experimental subject, he was not feeling all that bad from her touching. In fact, he kind of liked it as well. He liked what he was seeing as well.

It turns out that Xue Meining was so engrossed in her fun that she had unconsciously pressed her whole body against Ling Yun. Her entire body was practically in the embrace of Ling Yun. As for her supple breasts, they were pressing and sliding across Ling Yun’s chest as she moved here and there. Yet she herself had not noticed what was happening.

It was without doubt that for once, this spoiled lady’s attire for the day was highly conservative. Even the buttons on her white shirt were modestly buttoned up, showing no cleavage. However, despite not being able to see her alluring cleavage no matter how hard he looked, it did not affect Ling Yun’s appreciation towards the sight before him. Just as the both of them were engrossed in their exploration of each other’s body, Ling Yun’s phone rang.

Ling Yun gave Xue Meining’s chest one last hard stare as if he was trying to etch the image into his mind. Once satisfied, he backed away before saying, “Okay that’s a hundred touches already, any more and I’ll be making a loss!”

Xue Meining did not seem to be satisfied as she mumbled under her breath.

“What, that’s at most only fifty touches, I even paid good money for it!”

Not bothering to bicker with her, Ling Yun picked up the call.

It was from Ning Lingyu and the time was almost five o’clock. The moment, Ling Yun picked up the call, Ning Lingyu’s voice exploded from the phone.

“Big brother, mum and I bought too many items and we can’t bring them back ourselves!”

Upon hearing that Ling Yun reached an instant realization. And that is the fact that women are all the same when it comes to shopping! Looking back, it was a close shave since he almost volunteered in the afternoon to go shopping with them! After making sure he knew where they were, he told both of them to stay put and hung up. Next up, he immediately called Tang Meng.

“I’ve got a sweet job for you, do you want it or not?” Ling Yun spoke as soon as the call connected.

“Hey boss, what kind of sweet job are we talking about?” Tang Meng replied in a lethargic voice. It seems that he had just woken from a nap.

“Ehm, Lingyu and my mother went shopping in the market this afternoon. It seems like they bought a little too much and are having trouble bringing it back. How about you go there and give them a ride back?”

“A sweet job indeed! This is a wonderful job!” Tang Meng replied, unable to conceal his joy. To Tang Meng, Ling Yun could not have given him a better job!

He immediately jumped out of bed, hanging up right after taking down their location. After washing his face, brushing his teeth and styling his hair, Tang Meng chose the coolest and most fashionable attire he had and changed into it. Next, he had a short word with his grandfather who was busy playing with his parrot and then left the house.

Tang Meng’s house was located in the city center and was always bustling with activity. It was not far from where Ning Lingyu and Qin Qiuyue were waiting. With the speed at which this speed demon drove at, it took only forty-five minutes for him to reach their location. Once there, Tang Meng gently stopped the car beside them. He then bolted out of the car before speaking to Qin Qiuyue.

“Auntie Qin if you’re going shopping, you should have told Ling Yun to give me a call!”

Qin Qiuyue looks at Tang Meng’s regretful yet comfortable expression before giving him a wide smile.

“I only brought Ning Lingyu out for a little shopping. We had intended to buy just a few things yet before we knew it we ended up buying so much. Look at this pile of shopping bags, so sorry that we had to trouble you.”

“No no, it’s no trouble at all! I bet both of you are tired right? Hurry up and rest up in the car, leave all these shopping bags to me!” Without a second word, Tang Meng took charge and started carrying all the bags into the boot of the car.

Seeing Tang Meng working so hard for them, Ning Lingyu mumbled softly, “Thank you, Tang Meng!” Before entering the car without waiting for his reply.

Upon hearing that, Tang Meng froze momentarily, his back remained bent as he tries to contain the swirl of emotions surging to the fore. He was practically bursting with joy. Personalities and character did not matter. Just simply being willing to do anything for the one he liked was enough. Just hearing a simple ‘thank you’ was enough to send him into excitement and overwhelming joy.

After packing everything neatly into the car boot, Tang Meng got into the car before turning his head back and speaking to Qin Qiuyue in a respectful tone.

“Auntie Qin, since we’re already in the city and we’ve got a car, how about me booking a restaurant. After fetching Ling Yun, we can have our meal there before I send you guys back home?”

Qin Qiuyue smiled and shook her head lightly before saying, “Tang Meng, I’m really thankful that you came to fetch us. That’s why we cannot possibly trouble you further. Let’s go back home and let me make you a meal.”

Ning Lingyu immediately continued, “Yeah, besides after dinner, both my brother and I have to return back to school!”

This was their routine. As their home was simply too far from the school if they were to leave for school on a Monday morning, in the case of a traffic jam they would be late. That’s why they always returned to school on Sunday night.

As for Tang Meng, he respected their decision and decided not to persist anymore. Instead, he focused his attention on the road. As he was driving both Ning Lingyu and her mother home, he took special care to drive safely and smoothly. They finally reached Linjiang road after thirty minutes.

As they approached the clinic, Tang Meng noticed the red vehicle parked at the clinic entrance.

That’s…

As they approached, Tang Meng’s eyes widened in shock as he finally realized that the car was actually a Ferrari! For a car fanatic like Tang Meng, with a single glance, he could recognize that the car was a limited edition Ferrari!

“What…” He was so shocked he almost jumped out from his seat!

Initially, he wanted to shout, ‘what the fx%k’ but remembered at the last minute that both Ning Lingyu and her mother were in the car. Thus, he forced the words back down his throat. Despite knowing that the Ferrari was a limited edition model, little did Tang Meng know that it belonged to Xue Meining.

Xue Meining just turned seventeen this year and received the Ferrari as a birthday gift. She has only driven the car around for a few months. Furthermore, even though Tang Meng followed Li Qingchuan’s orders and protected her, he seldom came into direct contact with her. This is why he did not know that that car belonged to her. Besides, Xue Meining did not hold him in high regard thus he did not bother to interact much with her lest he incurred her wrath.

“What’s wrong?” Qiuyue asked softly, noticing the change in Tang Meng.

“Ehm, it’s nothing, auntie Qin. It’s just that a limited edition Ferrari seems to be parked in front of the clinic!”

“What?” Qin Qiuyue asked, her reaction mild. In contrast, Ning Lingyu’s reaction was more dramatic. She left her seat and rests her arms on the front seat to get a better look.

“What a beautiful car!” Ning Lingyu praised involuntarily.

Tang Meng has stopped the car behind the Ferrari. Being a fan of luxury cars, even after he got off the car, he did not shout for Ling Yun immediately. Instead, he walked around the Ferrari, admiring it while burning with jealousy in his heart.

To think there is another limited edition Ferrari in Qingshui City now?! Who bought it? Why wasn’t I informed?

Having reached strength level three, Ling Yun’s five senses were all heightened, especially his hearing. Hence, before Tang Meng even reached the door, Ling Yun was already standing up.

“My mum and sister are back. Come, let’s go and help them with the shopping bags.” Ling Yun said to Xue Meining.

The moment she heard that Ling Yun’s mother was back, Xue Meining’s demeanor instantly changed. Instead of her playful and naughty self, her face was now red like that of a modest and shy lady. Right before this, she was still arguing with Ling Yun and throwing childish tantrums here and there. Yet now her behavior was drastically different from a while ago.

Xue Meining’s face was flushed like a big and ripe apple as she bit her tender lips. Her index finger was twirling her long hair shyly. Ling Yun looked at her trying to find out what was wrong with her.

“Hey, what’s wrong? This isn’t like you at all.” He exclaimed in disbelief.

Xue Meining glared at him before replying in an irritated tone.

“What do you know? It’s my first time meeting your mother!”

Ling Yun laughed as he retorted, “And what about it? Yesterday, I too met your grandfather for the first time as well. What’s the big deal? Now come, don’t worry, my mum’s a very amicable person.”

Ling Yun then grabs Xue Meining by her arm and pulled her along towards the clinic entrance.

Ning Lingyu and Qin Qiuyue were in the midst of unloading their shopping bags from the hummer’s boot when they heard Ling Yun’s voice.

“Mother, Lingyu, welcome back!”

Both mother and daughter turned their heads around.

Seeing her son holding hands with a ravishing beauty as they come out of the clinic, Qin Qiuyue could only respond with a smile as she shakes her head.

Whereas, Ning Lingyu was totally dumbfounded!

The best moment had yet to come. The moment Tang Meng saw the girl Ling Yun was holding hands with, he had the shock of his life! Stunned, he stood there staring at them with his mouth agape!
