Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Qingshui City’s Pedestrian Shopping Street.

“Stop the car here! Right now!” Zhuang Meifeng shouted at Tang Meng, pointing towards a large shopping district outside the car window.

Ling Yun turned his head to look outside and realized that he had been here before! It was exactly the place which he had visited with Xue Meining to buy clothes last Saturday.

Ling Yun patted Zhuang Meifeng’s back and said with a smile, “All right, time to bring these brats to go shop for some clothes. Please buy enough clothes for yourselves this time, okay? Summer is coming so you might as well shop for your summer clothing today as well to save us the hassle of going out to shop for clothes again in the near future…”

When Xiao Meimei heard Ling Yun call her a brat, she pouted her sexy little lips and glared at him with rather resentful eyes. She was not pleased with how Ling Yun addressed her.

Zhuang Meifeng thought the same as she followed up by shaking Ling Yun’s arm while saying cutely, “Dear, don’t call her that…”

In the car, Tang Meng was sweating profusely and Tie Xiaohu was checking out the pedestrians on the sidewalk outside the car. Xiao Meimei looked at Zhuang Meifeng with a grateful look, clearly thankful for Zhuang Meifeng’s defense of her. Ling Yun could only agree with Zhuang Meifeng, “All right, all right…”

Ling Yun then told Xiao Meimei, “I’m very pleased and very grateful to you for accompanying my Meifeng to go shopping today. Today, just go ahead and shop to your heart’s content! Don’t worry about the expenditure, I’ll take care of it.”

Xiao Meimei nodded her head excitedly. At that moment, she felt it. After Ling Yun had confirmed that he had the 50 million dollars in the bank, his attitude towards her had greatly changed from before.

Zhuang Meifeng was confused. She asked Ling Yun, “Dear, aren’t you going to shop with me?”

Such a reaction was to be expected. After all, when women shop, they would definitely want their significant other to be at their side. If not, when they try on new clothes, who would be there to compliment them? Without a guy by her side singing her praises, how would she attract the envy of other girls in the area?

Wanting to buy new clothes for herself was indeed one of the reasons why she had come here today with Ling Yun. However, the real reason that Zhuang Meifeng had come today was to buy new clothes for Ling Yun!

Following Ling Yun’s explosive slimming of his physique, all of his old clothes did not fit him at all! Wearing those oversized and baggy clothes definitely did not flatter his physique. Even though Ling Yun could not be bothered, Zhuang Meifeng decided that if she were to become Ling Yun’s wife, she would not stand for this!

Ling Yun had some bad memories of going shopping with Zhuang Meifeng alone. Now, he potentially had to follow not one but two women to go shopping! He shuddered at the mere thought of it.

Ling Yun gave an awkward smile and said, “Umm, about that… You two lovely ladies should enjoy the shopping spree to the fullest. What good would it be for us men to be standing around awkwardly… Hahaha…”

Upon finishing his sentence, Ling Yun purposely made a loud *AHEM* cough sound, signaling for Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to come to his aid. To his shock, the two guys simultaneously decided to pretend they had not heard or seen anything, ignoring Ling Yun’s desperate plea.

Tang Meng knew that Zhuang Meifeng was hell-bent on bringing Ling Yun along to shop with her. He also knew that if he had tried to stand up for Ling Yun, Zhuang Meifeng would make his life a living hell in the future. He wanted to stay in her good books.

As for Tie Xiaohu, he remembered that Ling Yun had once said to him that he should not anger a beauty for their tempers were beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. Zhuang Meifeng definitely qualified as a ‘beauty’ and therefore, Tie Xiaohu wanted no part of her anger. So, he decided to not intervene in the matter.

Seeing that the two guys had no intention of responding to his signals, Ling Yun could only curse at them in his mind.

These two guys really don’t know the meaning of brotherhood!…

At that moment, Zhuang Meifeng pressed her voluptuous chest onto Ling Yun’s body and used the softest gaze she could muster to look into Ling Yun’s eyes. She asked cutely, “Dear, this is the first time you’ve brought me out to go shopping! How could you possibly not follow me into the shops?”

Unlike Ling Yun who received zero help from the guys, Xiao Meimei chimed in to assist Zhuang Meifeng. She told Ling Yun, “That’s right! When she buys her clothes, it’s for you to look at! If you don’t follow us when we shop, how would we know what type of dressing suits your taste?”

Xiao Meimei’s words definitely made sense. Her speech was also gentle and her tone was definitely alluring.

Both Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng felt a tingling sensation when they heard Xiao Meimei speak. They both thought at the same time.

How can one’s voice be that attractive?

Women are definitely sensitive to other women’s behavior. Zhuang Meifeng definitely felt that Xiao Meimei was acting overly cute and seductive to Ling Yun. She wanted to speak to Xiao Meimei and put her in her place. However, on the account that she was helping her out, Zhuang Meifeng decided to let it go.

In actual fact, Zhuang Meifeng did not dare to stand up against Xiao Meimei. She knew that Xiao Meimei was someone who dared to assassinate Ling Yun. The person whom Xiao Meimei was afraid of was not her, but rather Ling Yun himself.

Ling Yun found himself with no way out and thus had to comply. He told them, “All right, I’ll follow you to go shopping then. Guys, you two will also be coming along with us then!”

Ling Yun knew that if he had to suffer, he would not suffer alone! He decided to drag the two other guys down with him. He was going to make Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu carry the shopping bags for the ladies.

Zhuang Meifeng was ecstatic that her wish had been granted and she gave Ling Yun a passionate kiss before getting off the car with her face red from embarrassment.

Therefore, the five of them entered the shopping district to begin their shopping spree.

Ling Yun had close to fifty million dollars in the bank, so spending eighty or a hundred thousand dollars shopping seemed to be peanuts to him. He was basically the definition of a wealthy person at this point!

When he had first come to this place with Xue Meining, he could only watch on as she had used her card to pay for the expenses. Now, he could finally experience what it was like to just swipe the credit card without a care in the world for his finances!

This feeling of being treated like a god of fortune by the shopkeepers allowed Ling Yun to momentarily forget about all his troubles, fatigue, and the concept of time!

Zhuang Meifeng then had another issue crop up for her when shopping. She realized that when both her and Xiao Meimei tried on new clothes, all three of the guys would first check Xiao Meimei out first, followed by her. This also happened even when they tried the same model of clothing!

Comparing their figures, both of the ladies had their own charming points. But when it came to their facial features, Zhuang Meifeng was confident that she was superior to Xiao Meimei if they were to have a side-by-side comparison. So why was this happening? Zhuang Meifeng could not understand it.

When the two were in the changing room, Zhuang Meifeng finally could not help but ask Xiao Meimei, “How do you do it? Why are their gazes always fixated on you first?”

Xiao Meimei gave a cheeky grin as she looked at Zhuang Meifeng from head to toe. She then put her lips close to Zhuang Meifeng’s ears and whispered, “I’ve got this thing called charm…”

Upon hearing that, Zhuang Meifeng could not help but sigh as her face turned beet red. She peeked outside the changing room for a bit, then turned around and asked Xiao Meimei while still in a minor state of disbelief, “Charm? What exactly is charm?”

Xiao Meimei looked at Zhuang Meifeng with her large, round eyes and gave her a seductive smile. She explained, “Charm is the ability to attract men. It includes your gaze, your movements like how you move your hips or how you walk, and your tone of voice. If all of these are executed well, you’ll definitely be able to attract the attention of any man.”

Zhuang Meifeng, still embarrassed, asked, “B…But I don’t see anything special in the way you move or act…”

Xiao Meimei cheekily laughed once again and looked at Zhuang Meifeng’s hourglass figure while saying, “All of these are very minor details. Since your attention is fixated on Ling Yun now, of course you would not notice my actions. Now, look at our standing postures in the mirror.”

Zhuang Meifeng scrutinized Xiao Meimei’s standing posture and indeed found many differences when she compared it to her own. All of which she would not have realized until Xiao Meimei told her.

Zhuang Meifeng exclaimed in disbelief, “Wow, it’s indeed different when I take a closer look!”

Xiao Meimei further explained, “Actually, your regular standing posture is rather attractive as well. It exudes class and gracefulness. With your devilish figure, if you stand alone, you would definitely attract the gazes of all the men around you. However, from what I can see, your posture is way too lax…”

Zhuang Meifeng could not hold herself back anymore as she asked Xiao Meimei with a slight blush on her face, “So… About this ‘charm’ thing… How did you get to learn it?”

Xiao Meimei replied bluntly, “I’m an assassin. Charm and seduction are invaluable abilities when it comes to some of my missions. This skill of mine was gained through strict training. Every single detail from how far each stride should be, to how far my hips should sway, up to the angle my head should tilt, was strictly ingrained into me during training. Don’t even get me started on facial expressions and eye gazes as those are the hardest…”

Zhuang Meifeng thought about it for a moment and remembered about how Ling Yun had rejected her body before. She thought that it must have been her lack of charm that caused him to do so. She then asked Xiao Meimei shyly, “Can… Can you…”

Xiao Meimei flashed a supportive smile as she nodded her head and said, “Sure, I’ll teach you. But only if you’re willing to go through my strict training.”

Xiao Meimei already had an agenda in mind. She wanted to get on Zhuang Meifeng’s good side as she realized that Ling Yun really doted on Zhuang Meifeng, therefore, if she got into Zhuang Meifeng’s good books, she would only stand to gain from this relationship. Ling Yun, as her master, would also treat her better if she were on good terms with Zhuang Meifeng.

Zhuang Meifeng thought of a question out of the blue and quickly asked Xiao Meimei, “Umm, if you know how to charm a man… Would you try to charm Ling Yun?”

Xiao Meimei was stunned for a bit, but she soon regained her senses and replied with a smile, “Haha, You should know about my current predicament. If Ling Yun wanted to kill me, he would only have to lift a finger. If he wanted my body, I would have to give it to him any time he decided. Why would I need to charm him? Furthermore, he already knows I possess skills to charm men. Therefore, he is always on guard and my charms do not work on him.”

Zhuang Meifeng let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She realized that that was indeed the case. She remembered the time when Ling Yun had brought Xiao Meimei home. Her chest had basically been exposed to Ling Yun, but he had not had any intention of groping them. Heck, he had not even been bothered to look at her.

What kind of person is she anyway? Zhuang Meifeng thought to herself.

Not long ago, Zhuang Meifeng had undoubtedly been a very desirable woman that would have men at her beck and call if she pleased. But after getting to know Ling Yun, the world that she knew and was used to had begun to change…

The past few days had been really topsy-turvy for Zhuang Meifeng. Her life was basically on a roller coaster ride, causing her to struggle to keep up! Sometimes, she felt as if Ling Yun had literally brought her to another world.

Xiao Meimei saw Zhuang Meifeng’s perturbed expression and told her, “You’d better hold on tight to him! Ling Yun is a man whose caliber goes beyond the wildest dreams of any girl out there!”
