Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Chapter 196: Their respective troubles

Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations

A man could not possibly give no for an answer. Ling Yun decided to be as generous as he could possibly be. He laughed and said, “Sure! Choose the best dishes! No need to save my money!”

Cao Shanshan proceeded to look at Ling Yun cutely as she said, “That’s more like it. Zhang Ling, proceed with the ordering!”

Following the trio’s arrival, the atmosphere on the second floor of the restaurant started to heat up.

At Ling Yun’s table was Ning Lingyu, Cao Shanshan, Zhang Ling and the new student from Grade 12 Class 6— the incredibly charming and sexy Miao Xiaomiao.

However, the hottest thing in school wasn’t the beautiful girls, but rather the handsome stud they were surrounding. He was the ultimate idol of most boys of Qingshui High, Ling Yun!

At that time, who could possibly focus on their meals? Everyone had focused their attention on the small corner and could not resist discussing the beautiful girls amongst themselves.

“The hottest girls in school are all by Ling Yun’s side at the same time! This is truly a rare sight!”

“I can’t even decide who’s the prettiest among them. They’re all too pretty!”

“I think there are definitely some problems with your judgment. Have you seen Ling Ningyu? Those dreamy cheeks and her refined disposition puts her right on top!”

“No, I don’t think so. Just take a look at the newcomer next to Ning Lingyu. She’s really too beautiful. Her body is seriously smoking hot. I’m almost blinded by just seeing her in that gorgeous shiny black leather shirt and skirt! Her sexiness is off the charts!”

“In my opinion, Cao Shanshan’s not too far off either. Her cheeks are simply radiant and she’s in that amazing white dress. I’ve never seen her in an outfit that showed off so much cleavage before…”

“I’m not even going to think about those three. I’m just gonna be a bit more realistic here. Those three are beautiful, but they are basically angels that have descended from heaven. Zhang Ling may seem mortal by those standards, but I sure do love those big breasts of hers…”

…

Everyone could easily voice their own judgment and opinions. Yet, in light of Ling Yun’s superiority and dominance over them, nobody could voice them out loudly. They all just kept the discussions amongst themselves.

With two dishes already on the table, Ling Yun’s table had begun to eat.

In order to facilitate his training after he had rapidly lost a lot of weight, Ling Yun had cut down on his food intake. It was not even half of his original intake. He was not necessarily bothered with the food he was ingesting but simply enjoyed the beautiful scene he had in front of him.

As the saying goes, one can become full from just taking in a beautiful sight. That could not be truer in this case.

Ning Lingyu exuded grace. Miao Xiaomiao was unbelievably hot. Cao Shanshan was radiant. Zhang Ling had an amazing smile.

Among the four beautiful girls, the one that Ling Yun paid the most attention was Miao Xiaomiao.

Only he knew that Miao Xiaomiao was a rare expert of high caliber. According to Ling Yun’s estimations, with his current abilities, he was at best on par with her. Before reaching Level 4 of his Physique Tempering, there was no way he could defeat this sexy girl.

The thing that bothered Ling Yun the most was Miao Xiaomiao’s appearance. Where had she come from? Why was she transferred to his class?

What were her goals for coming to Grade 12 Class 6? Was it to deal with him or was it just a coincidence?

He could not answer these questions and could only quietly prepare himself for any incoming danger.

Miao Xiaomiao was indeed stunningly beautiful. However, from back when Ling Yun’s still resided in Cultivation World, he had already seen countless beautiful women, so much so that he would not be affected at all by them.

If not, Ling Yun could not have possibly treated Xiao Meimei the way he had. He had basically punched her until her left breast was almost flat. It was not something a normal man could have done.

While Ling Yun was sneakily observing Miao Xiaomiao, she was actually also secretly observing him.

After Miao Xiamiao had sent Xue Meining back home in the dark, she had gone to Xuan Qi’s black car. However, when she arrived there, she had only found an empty car. There had been no one there. As she was not interested in Ling Yun’s current state, she had just gone home to rest.

According to Miao Xiaomiao’s estimations, the assassins should have assassinated Ling Yun yesterday. Yet, Ling Yun showed up today alive and kicking. She could not help but feel startled.

Since Ling Yun was fine, Miao Xiaomiao wondered what had happened to the assassins. Had they been killed by Ling Yun? If that was the case, Ling Yun was surely a ruthless killer.

Seeing how Xue Meining had treated Ling Yun, Miao Xiaomiao could not help but put her guard up around Ling Yun. This was to prevent Ling Yun from doing something bad to Xue Meining.

After being wildly shocked by Ling Yun, Ning Lingyu had returned to a peaceful and normal state. No matter how many people were around her, she could deal with it calmly.

As Cao Shanshan was eating, she was overcome by mixed feelings. She sat very close to Ling Yun. For some reason, the scene from yesterday morning kept replaying in her mind. Her face was beet red and she was distracted to a point where she did not even know what dish she was eating.

Zhang Ling had an indifferent expression on her face, yet there was something tugging at her heartstrings.

In the past few days, Zhang Ling had questioned herself numerous times, Did she have a crush on Ling Yun? Was she good enough to have a crush on Ling Yun? Should she even consider pursuing Ling Yun?

The answers were always different. However, one thing was for sure. She really liked Ling Yun.

She liked him. It was a secret crush.

Whether she was good enough for him was a matter she didn’t have an opinion on. She ultimately decided to not take the initiative and instead allow things to happen naturally.

The five of them all had things on their minds. They didn’t talk much when they were eating. By the time all the dishes had been served, they were already full.

Ling Yun looked at Cao Shanshan, Zhang Ling, and Miao Xiaomiao and laughed, “The three of you owe me a meal as this was Lingyu’s treat.”

What nonsense was he speaking? Since it was Lingyu’s treat, why would the three of them owe him a meal?

Yet for some reason, the three beautiful girls did not protest his statement. They all actually nodded their heads in agreement.

Ling Yun did not try to foot the bill. He knew that his sister wanted to treat him this time and he did not want to go against her wishes.

After Ning Lingyu paid the bill. The four beautiful girls followed Ling Yun down from the restaurant. Ling Yun smiled to Ning Lingyu and said, “Remember what I told you. Leave some time for me this Sunday okay?”

Ning Lingyu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lingyu laughed and said, “I’ll be going back to class to study then. See you later!”

After spending so much time with Ning Lingyu earlier, Ling Yun had absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy which the former was emanating from her body. Feeling motivated and refreshed, Ling Yun felt ready to break through to Level Four of Physique Tempering.

LVLV

Ning Lingyu smiled as she bade farewell to the other girls. She then carried the three LV bags back to her hostel. Those were real LV bags, if she were to say that she did not like them, she would be lying through her teeth.

Ling Yun sent Ning Lingyu off with his gaze. He then stretched his waist for a bit and exclaimed with a laugh, “Go on, my three beauties. Tonight, I’ll need to work extra hard to revise whatever I missed in class today!”

As they heard Ling Yun say he was going to ‘work extra hard’, Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling burst into laughter. Even Miao Xiaomiao could not help but raise the sides of her alluring lips to form a small smile. Her big beautiful eyes could not hide her expression as they formed two crescent shapes, showing her smile.

At the same time, outside Qingshui High. Savant’s Restaurant.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were at a dining table beside the window, sitting opposite each other. The table was filled with alcohol and food. The two of them had each drank a liter of white wine. Although Tie Xiaohu was seemingly unfazed by it, Tang Meng’s face was flushed red!

“You know Ning Lingyu, don’t you? She was the one you saw just now… Xie Junyan has his eyes on her… I know what that guy’s all about. Boss has already thought of a gambling scam to deal with him!”

“There’s also Gou Junfa, who has bullied Boss for almost three years already… Boss has held it in well so far. When we beat him up the last time, we thought we had taught him a lesson. To think he’d call upon you to deal with Boss! That’s why Boss got even more p*ssed off and decided to ruthlessly teach him a lesson!”

Tang Meng said whatever came to mind. The whole idea about the gambling scam? He let Tie Xiaohu in on all of it.

Tie Xiaohu furrowed his brows and asked, “Didn’t Brother Yun say it before? To not call him Boss in the future. He asked me to call him Brother Yun!”

Tang Meng pointed at Tie Xiaohu with a pair of chopsticks and laughed, “When you were collecting the debt, you were so lively and tyrannical! Why is it that when it comes to talking about Boss, you become so henpecked? Ever since the second day I knew Boss, I’ve always called him Boss and he’s never said anything about it. Haha, calling him Boss indeed has a nice ring to it!”

Tie Xiaohu gave Tang Meng a smile but did not refute any of Tang Meng’s words. He then grabbed a mouthful of vegetables with his chopsticks and asked, “So, about that gambling scam. Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa aren’t dumb, would they fall for it?”

Tang Meng replied with a straight face, “Three steps! First, I leak some juicy information to them. Next, I’ll go right up to them and ask them to join in on the bet. Then, if they decide to disagree, I’ll make sure to destroy their reputations so they are unable to go wild in front of me anymore. This’ll make sure they join in on the gamble!”

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu were from different worlds. How different they were indeed.

Tang Meng was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Ever since he was little, he never had to worry about anything. Whatever he wanted to do, he did.

In comparison, Tie Xiaohu was born into poverty. When he was growing up, he had to endure it when people looked down on him. His life growing up was more similar to Ling Yun. However, when he entered Qingshui High and joined the Green Dragon Gang, his fortune took a change for the better.

The two were polar opposites. You could say they were like black and white. One had brains and the other had brawn. They were Ling Yun’s closest and most treasured aides. However, the way they saw things greatly differed from each other.

As Tie Xiaohu finished listening to Tang Meng, he could not help but laugh. He chuckled, “The way I see it, a gamble is just a gamble. Why do you have to approach it in such a roundabout way? If it was up to me, I would just go straight up to them and ask if they have the guts to accept a head-on duel. If they accept, then we’d iron out the terms and conditions right there and then. If they reject my proposal, I’d tell them to call themselves cowards. Isn’t it just that simple? Why do you have to do so much work beforehand and give yourself so much trouble?”

Tang Meng was momentarily stunned. He then asked, “That… That’s too direct, isn’t it? Isn’t that too simple of a plan?”

Tie Xiaohu took a swig of a beer and laughed. “Sometimes, the simplest plan is the most effective plan!”
