Dragon Emperor, Martial God

“You! You’re still talking?!” Zhuang Meifeng was infuriated as she bit down on her lower lip and it looked like fire was going to come out of her eyes.

“Your breasts are beautiful too. They look like peaches and seeing them makes me want to take a bite.” Ling Yun selfishly critiqued as usual.

“I will bite you first!” Zhuang Meifeng wholeheartedly hated the thing that had collapsed and she angrily pounced towards Ling Yun.

“Don’t move, I can see your cleavage again.” Ling Yun dodged while trying to take a peek. Zhuang Meifeng immediately stopped moving and sat in her blanket furiously with a red face. Her chest rose and fell quickly which created waves on the blanket which moved with her breath.

The last words that Ling Yun said were not important. Instead, it was the weird feeling that bloomed inside her that was important.

Why was she so comfortable with him? Just because he saved her? Or was it because he had become more handsome? This man’s face was even tenderer than hers and it looked like it would produce water with one squeeze. It had only been a few days since they had last met so how had he changed so much?

“How old are you?” Zhuang Meifeng suddenly asked after staring at Ling Yun for awhile.

“Eighteen, you?” Ling Yun naturally asked back.

“Don’t you understand the rules? You can’t ask a girl for her age!” Zhuang Meifeng glared as she spoke with a false tone of anger.

“Then why would you ask for my age? Unless you want to marry me just because I saw you naked? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it!” Ling Yun replied with an air of arrogance.

Hearing that, Zhuang Meifeng got so pissed off that she picked up a pillow to throw at Ling Yun. “You wish!”

However, she silently thought, I’m three years older… Was she, the belle of Qingshui City, really letting this shameless kid off so easily?

The storm outside was still pouring down like a waterfall, yet a white light shone in the night sky. The floor was flooded with so much water that the rain did not even know where to flow to. However, it created a gentle atmosphere in the room. Zhuang Meifeng’s elbows were exposed to the air, her shoulders shimmered under the white light and her face radiated charm.

“Hey, you were the one who pounced at me and you were the one who let go of the blanket. In such a situation, it would have been too late for me to do anything, so you can’t be angry, right?” Seeing her sit there without a word and showing the same coldness that had been on her face the first time they met, Ling Yun finally opened his mouth to explain himself.

“Alright, alright. Will it be better if I go naked under the blanket and pounce into your arms? If I do this, then I definitely won’t owe you anything anymore!” Ling Yun generously offered.

“Go and die!” Zhuang Meifeng glared at Ling Yun before bursting into laughter with a brilliant smile that resembled a flower blooming. Seeing that she was fine, he clapped his hands and said, “Now, can we discuss what is going to happen?”

“What is going to happen? What other matters are there? What else do you want to do?” Zhuang Meifeng asked with a look of panic as she wondered if he would act like an animal and eat her on the spot.

Actually, she was not worried about Ling Yun becoming an animal but rather, how long it would take before she surrendered should something like that happen. One minute? Three? Definitely not more than five minutes! In the end, Ling Yun’s answer made her feel ashamed of her thoughts.

“You can’t be living here for free, right? We can agree that I will provide you with food and a home but you have to do all the chores, cook, do laundry, erm, and clean the place…”

Seeing him being serious and hearing him plan everything, Zhuang Meifeng couldn’t help but feel startled by how he acted like he did not just see her naked. You can still think about splitting chores at this time? What… what is this?

Once again, she was shocked upon seeing his indifferent expression and began to doubt her own charms. She was unable to stop herself from looking under the blanket and questioning how he was able to resist her when she herself was unable to do so.

“Right, I forgot to ask you. What else you can do besides these things?” Ling Yun asked after finishing his speech.

“I am a student at the financial university in our city and have already received the rank of an accountant. I have also finished all my exams to become a financial actuary and am waiting to get the certificate. Are you satisfied?” Zhuang Meifeng had no idea why she said all these but she really wanted to prove that she was not just a pretty girl. She wanted to show that she actually had abilities.

“Wealth, finance… it’s related to money right?” Ling Yun asked with a gleam in his eyes.

“Stupid fool, of course it’s about money!” Zhuang Meifeng had totally forgotten about the fact that she was sitting on a bed and was covered by a flimsy blanket after discovering that Ling Yun was only interested in such things.

“That’s good. Can you help me see if I can get cash from this cheque?” Ling Yun said as he took out the cheque for one million dollars that had been given to him.

“You have a cheque at such a young age?” Zhuang Meifeng questioned as she reached out to take the cheque from him. With one look, she covered her mouth in shock. “One million dollars?!” She exclaimed.

“See if it is real first!” Ling Yun urged.

“It is real and can be exchanged for cash at the bank. Where did you get it?”

Chuckling, he reached out to grab back the cheque and kept it before saying, “I’m not telling you!” His greedy look caused Zhuang Meifeng to laugh, which made her chest start to shake and the blanket begin to vibrate.

After what they had gone through, the two were obviously much closer and more comfortable talking to each other. Zhuang Meifeng realized that no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to pull off an aloof look in front of Ling Yun and her emotions were constantly led on by Ling Yun.

“Can you earn money?” Ling Yun interrogated her after a pause.

“Of course. With a computer and a pile of money, I can easily earn money.” Being an actual accountant and actuary, financial matters and stocks were her specialties so it was no surprise that she could earn money.

“You need cash to earn money?” A disbelieving look appeared on his face. I’ve been doing business all this time but I have never heard that one needs cash to earn money!

“Of course you need cash. How would you do anything with an empty hand?” Zhuang Meifeng burst into laughter again after seeing the look of pain on Ling Yun’s face. Yet, Ling Yun silently thought to himself that doing business empty-handed was exactly what he was good at.

“Will I lose money?”

“If someone else is doing it, you will definitely lose money. Since I’m the one doing it, you should be able to earn money!”

“Don’t say ‘should’. Can you promise that I won’t lose money?”

“Yes, I can promise you!”

“So what if I lose money?” Ling Yun asked seriously while staring at Zhuang Meifeng. He had heard Tang Meng saying that things like futures contracts and trading were highly profitable but they were also risky. It was very easy to lose all of one’s money, hence he requested for Zhuang Meifeng promise.

“Cheh!” Zhuang Meifeng proudly smiled as she pointed to herself, saying, “If you lose money, I’ll let you do whatever you want to me.”

“I’ll be able to look at your however I want?” Ling Yun asked. But he knew that he wouldn’t get his money back no matter how much he looked.

“Yes!”

“I can touch you however I want?” Ling Yun wanted to bargain as much as he could and to take advantage of every minor detail.

“Yes!”

“Is sleeping together okay too?” Ling Yun finally revealed his sly side.

“I told you, you can do whatever you want!” Zhuang Meifeng laughed so hard that tears sprung out of her eyes before asking him, “What if I earn money for you?”

Ling Yun straightened up as he replied, “I can let you look at me and touch me but no sleeping together!”

Zhuang Meifeng was astonished and she asked, puzzled, “Why can’t we sleep together?”

Seeing that he got away with his trick, Ling Yun fished out two bags filled with cash from under his bed. He then said, “See this? This is six hundred thousand dollars and it will be the capital for our business. If you lose any money, you will have to pay for it!” Finishing, he left while smiling in satisfaction, leaving behind a bewildered Zhuang Meifeng.

Acting as if the two bags were not present, Zhuang Meifeng continued to whisper to herself, “Why can’t I sleep with you if I earn money?” The beauty did not know it but she had already fallen into Ling Yun’s trap. At the point that she asked herself that question, she had totally lost to Ling Yun in terms of the extent of their feelings.

Walking to the door, Ling Yun thought, Yes, the rain is much lighter than previously. However, what was that rumble just now?

He knew very well that the sound was not due to the collapse of a building but rather, it sounded like the subsidence of the earth. That’s because he had heard the same sound before when he had stomped a hill into the ground back when he had been in Cultivation World.

His judgment was accurate because, during the rumbles, a hill with an area of three hundred meters had sunk into the ground somewhere in the south-west of the city. In the valley between Long Pan Hill and Nan Cui Mountain, a four hundred meter deep crater had appeared.
