Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

After comforting Wang Shufen for a while and her mood had stabilized, Ye Ling returned to his room.

Shen Yuexin was sitting there with a cold face, and the moment Ye Ling walked in, her sharp gaze immediately fell on his face.

Ye Ling's mouth twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"So uh, this… you're adjusting okay?"

Ye Ling really couldn't handle Shen Yuexin's piercing look.

You'd think a Middle Stage Houtian expert wouldn't withstand the gaze of an ordinary woman?

No choice, what can you do if you can't handle it?

This isn't about strength, is this about whether your skin is thick or not?

Thick—or—not!

"This bedsheet is pretty soft, huh…"

Ye Ling touched the blanket and started talking to himself.

"Hmm, the bed's not bad either, just a bit old. Would be better with a memory foam mattress."

"You uh… need a drink?"

"I'll pour you a glass."

Ye Ling carried a glass and ran out of the room.

It was only then that he felt the atmosphere inside the room was completely different from the outside!

Ye Ling gasped for air, thinking to himself that it shouldn't be like this. Given the thickness of his skin, which wouldn't float in water or fly in the sky but was heavy as hell, why did it become like this pathetic thing when facing Shen Yuexin?

Was he feeling guilty like a thief?

Damn, what a load of crap; he had just saved her life!

Controlling his emotions, Ye Ling poured a glass of hot water and entered the room again.

In the Great Xia summer, outside the room was unbearably hot, but upon entering the room, Ye Ling immediately felt an intensely icy chill.

"Cough cough, here, drink some water…" Continue reading at M V L

Ye Ling offered the glass of water to Shen Yuexin.

Shen Yuexin's beautiful face remained calm, her eyes indifferent as she stared at Ye Ling but still took the water glass from him.

"Conspiracy."

After taking a small sip, Shen Yuexin softly uttered these two words.

Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, pretending not to hear clearly, he asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, you didn't put anything like a love potion in this water, did you?" Shen Yuexin said.

"Oh come on, what do you take me for?!"

Ye Ling immediately jumped up, full of righteous indignation, his face flushed with anger, his manly nature exploding in full force… and so on and so forth.

Anyway, Ye Ling expressed all that could show he is a 'good person'.

Shen Yuexin clearly wasn't buying it: "I don't even consider you a person."

Ye Ling: "…"

"A crooked beam leads to crooked posts," Shen Yuexin added.

Ye Ling remained silent.

"Like mother, like son."

Ye Ling acted as if he hadn't heard.

"If you dare touch me, I will castrate you."

If Ye Ling truly had no interest in Shen Yuexin, he would have been angry at her words long ago.

But this guy did have those thoughts indeed!

Otherwise, why was Ye Ling winking and gesturing behind Wang Shufen's back when she mentioned splitting the rooms?

This little scheme was obviously seen through by Shen Yuexin, and Ye Ling had anticipated this outcome since Shen Yuexin was no ordinary woman—how could her insight be compared to others?

"You want to pursue me?"

Shen Yuexin suddenly said something Ye Ling would never have guessed.

Ye Ling was startled, nodding reflexively, then realizing what he did, he shook his head vigorously.

But after shaking his head, he thought, damn, I do want to pursue her, what was I shaking my head for?

Ye Ling quickly nodded again.

"Chasing me is hard, I suggest you give up that thought," Shen Yuexin said.

At her words, Ye Ling's stubbornness kicked in.

"What's so hard about it? You like women?"

Shen Yuexin: "..."

"As long as you don't like women, it won't be hard for me." Ye Ling declared proudly.

"You must have a girlfriend, right?" Shen Yuexin asked.

Ye Ling raised his hands to heaven: "No, absolutely not! If I did, then..."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden burst of thunder and lightning raged outside.

Ye Ling's eyes bulged.

Heaven, I haven't even said anything yet, isn't this a bit much?

Just then, a chilling ringtone sounded.

"Two tigers, two tigers, dating, dating, both are male, both are male, truly weird, truly weird..."

Ye Ling shivered all over and hastily pulled out his phone.

"Nice ringtone." Shen Yuexin commented coolly.

Ye Ling rolled his eyes, and when he saw the number, a black line instantly rose on his forehead.

It was Liu Qiao'er!

This damn timing – neither early nor late – just had to be during the most thrilling moment of my life, how coincidental.

Could it be that the name Liu Yuandong gave you was just for such a coincidence?

"Girlfriend, right?"

Shen Yuexin nudged her lips, "Aren't you going to answer?"

With no other choice, Ye Ling answered the call.

"Big Casanova, missing me?"

The moment the call connected, Liu Qiao'er's naive voice rang out.

Ye Ling's complexion turned green instantly, and glancing at Shen Yuexin, he saw her staring at him with a slight smile. Her smile was as cold as it could be.

"Missing..." Ye Ling gulped down his saliva awkwardly.

"Hehe, I miss you too!"

Liu Qiao'er giggled, then inquired, "When are you coming back? I'm so scared being home alone..."

Ye Ling really didn't know what got into this girl today, she was never this clingy before, was she?

"Quick, answer me!"

Seeing that Ye Ling was silent, Liu Qiao'er immediately feigned anger: "Hmph, don't tell me you're on a date with a girl and I just caught you red-handed?"

They say a woman's intuition is the sharpest, and Ye Ling witnessed it firsthand.

"No, no, absolutely not," Ye Ling hurriedly replied.

"Humph, even if you did, you couldn't hide it from me. I wouldn't get mad if you found another girl, but I would be mad if you hid it from me, understand?" Liu Qiao'er said.

After soothing Liu Qiao'er for a while, Ye Ling finally hung up the phone.

"Judging by the voice, that must be the girl from the hotel, right?" Shen Yuexin asked.

Ye Ling knew that Shen Yuexin had heard all of what was just said.

"She's really broad-minded," he commented.

Shen Yuexin spoke calmly, "Let's go to sleep, but you're not allowed on the bed."

As she said this, Shen Yuexin placed the quilt on the bedside table and lay down calmly.

"This is my bed, why can't I sleep in it? Besides, this isn't a villa, there's no sofa or anything, where else would I sleep if not the bed?"

Ye Ling furrowed his brow, also feeling quite helpless.

All of the plans for tonight had been spoiled by that call.

"That's your problem."

Shen Yuexin said and then paid him no further attention.

Helpless, Ye Ling rolled up his bedding and went outside his mother's room.

"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight? There are no other rooms available..."

"No room!"

"..."
