Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Food was absolutely more important to Liu Qiao'er than money.

"Lazy pig, get up already!" Liu Qiao'er shouted.

But after shouting, Liu Qiao'er froze.

Ye Ling had a habit of sleeping naked.

Of course, that wasn't the case in his past life.

It wasn't for comfort that he slept naked, but rather because, while Ye Ling slept, the "Nine Nether Emperor Technique" would cultivate on its own, and removing clothes would speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.

If it weren't for a bit of modesty during the day, Ye Ling probably would have taken up streaking as well.

Liu Qiao'er had thought Ye Ling wore pajamas, so when she uncovered him...

"Ahh!!!"

After a moment of shock, Liu Qiao'er let out a scream and turned to run.

However, by that time Ye Ling had already woken up, and having just had a steamy dream, how could he let this little girl who had walked right into his room just run off like that.

He caught Liu Qiao'er in one motion, and with a shocked cry, she fell back onto the bed.

"You dare to enter my room without my permission?"

Ye Ling's gaze swept over Liu Qiao'er as he said with a smile, "Little girl, tell me, how shall I punish you?"

"I... I..."

Liu Qiao'er's face was completely red, her ears burning, and she simply didn't know what to say.

"A kiss? A touch? Or maybe..."

Ye Ling winked, and without finishing his sentence, Liu Qiao'er knew exactly what he meant.

"I'll go make you breakfast!"

Liu Qiao'er said as she tried to run again, but she couldn't escape Ye Ling's strong grasp.

"I can cook breakfast myself, so there's no need to trouble you. Now, it's time we talked about us," Ye Ling said, and his lips went straight for hers.

Liu Qiao'er quickly closed her eyes. She had already experienced this once before, so this time it wasn't as frantic.

However, Liu Qiao'er clearly wasn't ready and began to struggle fiercely after a moment.

Seeing this, Ye Ling sighed internally and let go of Liu Qiao'er.

"If you dare to do that again in the future, the punishment won't be just this. Understand?" Ye Ling said.

Liu Qiao'er dared not answer and immediately ran out with her face flushed.

Ye Ling muttered to himself, got dressed, freshened up, and started making breakfast.

For the entire morning, Liu Qiao'er was blushing delicately.

Being kissed by Ye Ling this time, she didn't struggle. Instead, she felt a reluctance to let go.

Liu Qiao'er felt like she was in a dream.

She had known Ye Ling for a total of only two days, hadn't she?

She had once dreamed about her Prince Charming appearing in a very romantic way, then she would play hard to get, and it would take at least two or three years to be with that person.

But now, in just these short two days, she had been forcefully kissed twice.

And, the second time, she didn't want to struggle at all, letting Ye Ling kiss her!

Liu Qiao'er truly couldn't believe she would do such a thing.

...

Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa at Lanhai Apartments.

Lin Hua sat on the sofa, and standing in front of him was a stocky, middle-aged man with a center-parted hairstyle.

This middle-aged man had an expressionless face, but there was an almost imperceptible killer aura emanating from him.

Facing him, Lin Hua felt as though he was confronting a mountain, which was quite oppressive.

"2 million, right?"

Lin Hua dropped a bank card on the coffee table and said, "There's a deposit of one million here, if you can kill that bastard, I'll add another half a million."

"Photograph."

The middle-aged man said indifferently.

Lin Hua managed to produce a photograph of Ye Ling from somewhere and handed it to the middle-aged man.

After a few glances, the middle-aged man left the villa.

"Ye Ling, you fucking love money, don't you? Wait until you're in the Underworld, I'll burn a huge pile of hell money for you!"

Thinking back on the previous events, Lin Hua felt a surge of intense hatred towards Ye Ling rising in his heart.

When had someone of his status, the great Young Master Lin, ever suffered such a loss?

This middle-aged man was the hitman hired by Lin Hua.

Even though he was only a third-rate killer from the Netherworld's gates, Lin Hua believed he was more than enough to deal with Ye Ling.

...

After breakfast, Ye Ling dressed up a bit and left the villa with Liu Qiao'er.

Considering he was going to visit Liu Qiao'er's family, he certainly couldn't go wearing just boxer shorts, could he?

However, Ye Ling's handsome appearance after dressing up did cause Liu Qiao'er to stare blankly for a moment.

"Handsome, huh?"

Ye Ling teased, hooking Liu Qiao'er's cute nose with his finger.

Liu Qiao'er immediately snapped back to reality, retorting with a coquettish snort, "There are plenty who are handsomer than you, you're not that great!"

They took a taxi to the city center where there was a street filled with car dealerships of various brands.

Ye Ling was someone who enjoyed the finer things, and naturally planned to buy a good car, if not for safety and comfort, then at least to show off a bit!

But the money he had on hand, Ye Ling felt, was not enough.

Besides buying medicinal herbs, Ye Ling also planned to buy some jade with spiritual energy, carve it into talismans, and set up several formations in the courtyard outside the villa.

One of them was to be a Spirit Gathering Array.

Ye Ling thought that constantly buying herbs was not a sustainable solution.

Leaving aside the composition of these herbs, the cost was also a significant expense.

If he could get some fresh herbs to plant in the yard, with a Spirit Gathering Array, they would surely be far better than those so-called 'century-aged' traditional Chinese herbs.

The expenses for the herbs and jade didn't worry Ye Ling much.

What he cared about the most was his cultivation.

Relying solely on the little spiritual energy available on Earth was definitely not enough.

Ye Ling thought of manufacturing Elixir Pills to enhance his cultivation by consuming them.

The amount of money needed for this was substantial.

So, after much consideration, Ye Ling still felt like he was poor.

"What kind of car do you want to buy?"

Getting out of the taxi, Liu Qiao'er excitedly said.

Ye Ling glanced at the girl and wondered why it seemed as if she was the one buying the car.

In reality, in Liu Qiao'er's heart, Ye Ling's concerns had already become her own.

"What kind of car do you like?" asked Ye Ling with a smile.

"I think anything is fine, just get a decent family sedan. Luxury cars are too expensive, and they require lots of money for maintenance and fuel consumption," said Liu Qiao'er.

"I didn't expect my future wife to be so frugal," Ye Ling said with a laugh.

Liu Qiao'er let out a coy snort, "Of course!"

A decent car was something like a Buick Regal, a Volkswagen Bora, or a Passat.

If they were looking for something even cheaper, it would be a domestic brand.

"Sir, please come in and have a look, we just got the new Chery Arrizo 7 in stock. Even if you don't buy it, you can take it for a test drive," said a slim girl as she approached Ye Ling and Liu Qiao'er.

They found themselves in front of the Chery dealership just then.
