Chapter 1196: Chapter 1195: The Sleazy Man Harasses Xiao Ling “Order one of each?” The waiter was clearly startled by Xiao Ling’s extravagance and asked in a slightly doubtful tone. “What? Are you afraid I can’t pay for the meal?” Xiao Ling replied, annoyed. “Oh, no, no, no… Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon!” The waiter snapped back to reality and walked away with a joyful smile! Xiao Ling glanced at the waiter and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Is it really bullying poor people? Just now he sounded doubtful, and now he’s grinning so slyly!” “Hey, little girl, if you were the waiter and heard a guest order every signature dish in the restaurant, even though it’s obvious two people can’t finish them all, wouldn’t you be happy? Thinking about such guests coming in, the restaurant is going to make a bundle. If it were me, I’d be thrilled too,” Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head in frustration. Only then did Xiao Ling come to her senses, realizing she might have ordered too much. There were more than a dozen signature dishes on the menu she had just seen. If she really ordered one of each, the table would be piled high, definitely more than they could eat. Of course, even if the roast duck restaurant was popular, few would order like her. Taking advantage of such a bold and easy-to-exploit customer, the waiter naturally beams with joy. “Then, maybe we should… return some of the dishes. We definitely can’t finish them all, and besides, these gold coins were painstakingly saved up by the old man. Spending them all at once isn’t really good…” Xiao Ling finally realized her impulsiveness and whispered embarrassedly. “Forget it, if we can’t finish, we’ll take them with us. I’m sure the old man himself never indulges , just consider it our way of honoring him!” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile. “Shameless, how can you say that? Those gold coins were given to us by the old man, and you’re treating it as honoring him…” Xiao Ling looked at Ye Tianchen with disdain and said speechlessly. “Money is just an external thing for us, it’s not that useful. I believe to someone who’s lived for seven thousand years, with vast knowledge and experience, it’s really nothing!” Ye Tianchen said indifferently. “Wrong, that’s true for you, but for us ordinary people, it’s a necessity for survival. Speaking of which, with your divine skills, won’t you get me some gold coins?” Xiao Ling asked with a mischievous smile. “Get gold coins? How?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask. Seeing Ye Tianchen’s interest piqued, Xiao Ling seized the opportunity, moved a bit closer, and whispered, “I heard in Linxian City, you can go to the mines to haul stones. Doing that, you can earn a gold coin a month. With your skills, you could haul a mountain in a day, right? How about going…” “Stop, no chance, I’m not interested in mining,” Ye Tianchen said with irritation. Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥 “Hey, that’s not right. Think about it, we used the old man’s gold coins, shouldn’t we pay him back? We’re eating and living off him without feeling guilty? It’s not right. Unfortunately, I’m just a weak girl with no strength, otherwise, I’d find a way to earn some gold coins to express our gratitude to the old man!” Xiao Ling spoke seriously, looking so kind that Ye Tianchen couldn’t bear to refuse. “Forget it, I have important things to do, no time to haul stones,” Ye Tianchen still shook his head and said. “I heard they also provide three meals a day there?” Xiao Ling said temptingly. Ye Tianchen ignored Xiao Ling, this little trickster, she’s just too smart for her own good. Clearly, she wanted to earn the gold coins for her own enjoyment and luxury, but insisted it was to repay the fisherman, and argued convincingly, making people genuinely admire her cleverness! Xiao Ling glanced at Ye Tianchen, seeing he wasn’t taking the bait and remained indifferent. She then showed a disdainful expression and said, “Sigh, if I were a man, I’d feel ashamed and embarrassed freeloading off someone else when I clearly have the ability and am not lacking in skills. If it were me, I’d definitely find a way to earn some gold coins as repayment. That’s what a gentleman’s agreement is about!” “Rest assured, no matter how much you say, I won’t go!” Ye Tianchen said with a casual smile. Xiao Ling glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, frustrated that he was so steadfastly unyielding, which really annoyed her. She truly hoped to have lots of gold coins, being a mere mortal and a foodie. In Linxian City, without gold coins, how could she enjoy all the delicious foods? Before long, the table in front of Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling was piled high with all sorts of dishes. Although there were many, it had to be said, the food smelled really delicious, making Ye Tianchen’s appetite increase. He said to the waiter beside him, “Bring a jug of good wine, the best in the house!” “Sir, the best wine in our house is quite pricey…” the waiter said. “Bring it on, once I’ve enjoyed the wine and food, I’ll pay you,” Ye Tianchen said straightforwardly. “Alright, sir!” the waiter said with a quick smile. “Make it two jugs…” Xiao Ling quickly told the waiter. Ye Tianchen shook his head with a smile. This little girl’s personality really matched his own — eating meat and drinking wine with gusto, completely unfazed, just like a tough tomboy. The food was served, the wine too, and Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling began to eat and drink heartily, making some people around them look at them with strange glances. After all, there were only two of them eating more than ten dishes, in a very relaxed state, with their feet propped up on the chairs next to them, holding a large jug of wine in one hand and some roast duck or whatever in the other, eating with great gusto, which really made people feel curious and amused. Before long, a table full of good food and two jugs of good wine were wiped out by Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling, especially Xiao Ling, who ate with no trace of ladylike behavior, her mouth all greasy. As for Ye Tianchen, he wasn’t much better. Such a chance to eat meat and drink wine freely was rare, so he too, relaxed. Suddenly, a Flying Sword was slapped onto the table where Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling were eating, startling everyone around, while Xiao Ling turned to look at the person behind her. It was a short man with a lewd appearance and two small, indecent mustaches, filled with arrogance and disdain. He looked at Xiao Ling with a sly smile and said, “Such a pure little girl, I like it!” Xiao Ling, frightened, instinctively moved to Ye Tianchen’s side, because she also felt that these people were not easy to mess with. In broad daylight, they dared to tease a good woman , acting so brazenly, indicating they had some backing. As for Ye Tianchen, he casually glanced at these people. Behind the short, lewd man were two followers, both at the Early-stage Martial King level, while the lewd man himself had Peak-level strength at the Late-stage Martial King, not a weak Martial Artist! At this moment, the lewd man, seeing Xiao Ling running to Ye Tianchen’s side, couldn’t help but laugh coldly, sitting opposite Ye Tianchen and said coldly, “Kid, is this your woman? Let me have some fun with her, I’ll give her back after I’m done, how about it?” When the lewd man spoke, he kept ogling Xiao Ling, with a lewd and obscene smile that was really disgusting, making people feel like vomiting. But Ye Tianchen was not in a rush, casually saying, “That might not be a good idea, right?” “Not a good idea? Kid, do you know who we are? Get lost immediately if you have any sense, or you’ll die before you know it!” a Martial Artist next to him said viciously. “Hey, keep it down, don’t scare others, we’re reasonable people. I won’t play with your woman for free, how about this, I’ll give you ten gold coins?” the lewd man said, laughing lewdly. “You…” Xiao Ling was so angry, she wanted to kick the lewd man, but Ye Tianchen stopped her. Seeing Ye Tianchen not speaking, the lewd man acted without permission, thinking he was smart and said to the Martial Artist beside him, “Take ten gold coins and throw them to him. Ordinary people need to eat, it’s tough, we can’t let people lose their wife and have no money, can we?” A clattering sound rang out, and on the table where Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling were eating, there were suddenly ten gold coins, thrown like tossing to a dog, by another Martial Artist. The attitude was extremely arrogant and arrogant, as if they could do whatever they wanted and no one could resist. There were many onlookers around, among them some ordinary people and many Martial Artists. They were all pointing and discussing, but none dared to stand up and help Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling. Ye Tianchen had fully suppressed his cultivation, looking just like an ordinary person, no wonder he was bullied by this lewd man. It was the first time, and Ye Tianchen’s heart was displeased, but he didn’t act immediately, he’s not someone who gets angry easily, and to get angry over such scum is really not worth it… (To be continued.
