The female workers looked around while their eyes turned into heart symbols. However, they rolled their eyes when they looked at Tang Hao.
“This guy has thick skin!”
“That’s right. Does he intend to court our president with his qualifications?”
“He looks too young too! Our president is mature and diligent, so why would she like someone younger than her? He stands no chance at all!”
They were whispering to each other.
A few minutes later, they could hear the clacking of high heels coming from within the building.
“The president is here!”
Someone looked beyond the entrance and shouted excitedly.
The young men looked incredibly excited. They straightened their clothes and puffed up their chests, then flashed their most attractive smiles.
Clack! Clack!
A beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the building.
She was dressed in an office jacket and a miniskirt, revealing all the curves of her body –those glorious twin peaks, and that slender, huggable waist.
Below that was a pair of tall and slender legs wrapped in black pantyhose and black high heels. They were an alluring sight.
Her impeccable face was breath-taking.
Her body swayed gently as she walked out of the building. Everyone at the entrance was dumbstruck.
“President Ling is truly beautiful!”
Even the female workers were shrieking.
The young men were unable to hold themselves back. After a short moment of shock, they became excited and rushed forward.
“These flowers are for you, Weiwei. They represent my sweet love for you!”
“Sweet? Nonsense! These flowers represent eternal love!”
“All of you can stand aside. Weiwei, this is a limited edition Chanel handbag that I bought from Europe. It’s not available in Huaxia!”
The people jostled each other in front of Ling Wei.
Chapter 541 - I’ll Follow You Home
Ling Wei stopped walking and cautiously shifted backward.
She stretched her lips into a dry smile.
She had expected such a scene as she was walking out of the building, but she was nonetheless taken aback.
She smiled at them politely and dodged the young men’s advances.
“I’m sorry, but thanks anyway,” she said with a gentle smile.
The young men were surprised, but they did not give up. After all, they would have expected a beautiful girl like Ling Wei not to give in that easily.
They looked at each other and became more spirited, as though sparks were flying from their eyes.
“It’s OK if you don’t want flowers, Weiwei! I’ve reserved a table for us at the best Western restaurant in town. Let’s have dinner together!”
“Don’t believe him, Weiwei. The one that I reserved is the best in town. Let’s have a romantic candlelight dinner tonight!”
The people continued to fight among each other.
Their expressions were excited as they looked at the beautiful woman in front of them. Their eyes were full of obsession and infatuation.
The female workers that witnessed the scene looked envious.
At that time, someone spoke out in a rather untimely manner.
“Excuse me, everyone!”
A figure parted the crowd of rich young men and walked toward Ling Wei.
The people were confused and shocked. When they looked closely, it was that strange young man.
“What’s that guy doing? Does he want to court President Ling too? How shameless! Can’t he see that she rejected the others?”
“Does he intend to win the heart of our beautiful president with one single flower? He must be dreaming.”
The people around him started laughing.
“What are you doing, kid?”
The rich young men who were shoved away were angry.
“Looks like you all failed! Can’t you see that the beautiful president is ignoring all of you? How about if I try? Maybe I’ll succeed!” Tang Hao said.
“Haha! Do you think you’re worth her time?”
The young man in the blue suit laughed out loud. Then, he sneered, “Alright then, you can give your best shot. I’ll see how you’ll be humiliated!” He stepped aside and made way for Tang Hao.
The other rich young men were also laughing and waiting for the drama to unfold.
In their eyes, the shabbily-dressed young man with a seven-yuan flower would definitely be rejected, if not humiliated by President Ling. Hell would freeze over if he succeeded.
“Thanks!”
Tang Hao grinned as he walked forward with the flower in his hand.
When Ling Wei saw that, she furrowed her brows and was taken aback. She wanted to burst out laughing, but she held it back, though her shoulders trembled gently.
She finally managed to put on a serious face.
However, one could see a hint of a smile in her eyes if they looked closely.
As the figure continued to walk toward her, her glee turned into surprise. Her heart started thumping hard.
The person in front of her was the man in her dreams!
Her heart thumped faster and faster, as though it would escape from her ribcage.
He arrived in front of her and went down on one knee. She was dumbstruck.
A torrent of joy and bliss gushed out from the bottom of her heart and washed over her.
“Please accept this flower, beautiful lady! It’s not very expensive — only seven yuan — but this represents my feelings for you!” Tang Hao spoke while trying hard not to burst out laughing.
Everyone who heard that rolled their eyes.
‘Why did you have to say that it was seven yuan? Haven’t you humiliated yourself enough?
‘What an idiot!’
Everyone was thinking of that.
Many people were smirking. They could imagine what would happen next: President Ling would reject his advances. She might even get angry and break the stalk into half.
Given President Ling’s status, a seven-yuan flower was utter humiliation!
However, what happened next stunned them.
Ling Wei reached out and took the flower. She did not toss it away or break it, but placed it in front of her face and gave it a gentle sniff.
A sweet smile appeared on her impeccable face.
Her face was bright and beautiful, even more so than the flower.
They were both shocked by how ridiculous it was.
‘Why did President Ling reject our bouquets worth several thousand yuan, but readily accepted a seven-yuan tulip?
‘Just what is going on?
‘Unless… President Ling likes to keep things simple and low-profile?’
They regretted not thinking of that possibility.
“What a pretty flower!” Ling Wei smiled earnestly as she beheld the tulip.
“Hey, beautiful lady, since you accepted my flower, how about we go for dinner?” Tang Hao continued.
‘What? This kid is too much! How shameless! After giving President Ling a seven-yuan flower, he gets to take her out for dinner too?”
“That’s right, how shameless! President Ling will never agree to it!”
The rich young men laughed mockingly.
However, they were stunned by her reply.
Ling Wei nodded and said, “Alright!”
The group of rich young men stood there, petrified. Their sneers froze on their faces.
‘Oh my god!
‘President Ling agreed to it?’
They were losing their minds.
The Tai An workers were all stunned too.
‘Why did President Ling reject all those rich young men, but accept that kid’s offer?’
Ling Wei sniffed the tulip again and smiled. She was so happy that she could fly. She stepped forward nimbly and reached out with a hand.
“Bring me away! Let’s go to your home!” She spoke bashfully with her hea
d lowered.
That sentence was like a thunderclap on a sunny day. It had shocked everyone.
‘Oh my god! What did I just hear? Did President Ling say that she would willingly follow that kid home?
‘Am I dreaming?
‘If I’m not dreaming, how could something so ridiculous happen?’
After a short silence, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
The rich young men could not understand what was so good about that kid that made him win President Ling’s heart that easily. Furthermore, President Ling had suggested going back to his house.
Tang Hao was surprised as he looked at Ling Wei.
Ling Wei smiled bashfully and winked knowingly at him.
Tang Hao smiled. He stood up, took her hand, walked her down the stairs, and led her into his car.
He started the engine and drove away.
The commotion in front of the building did not cease for a long time.
“Who is that guy? He’s so amazing!”
“That’s impossible. President Ling is a mature woman, so why would she like someone younger than her?”
Everyone could not understand what happened. They stood there, utterly baffled, while the group of rich young men raged.
The A8 sped down the road and soon arrived at Tang Hao’s residential area.
Ling Wei sat in the side passenger seat holding the flower. She could not hide the joy on her face.
After Tang Hao parked the car, she leaned over and landed a peck on Tang Hao’s cheek. “Thank you for your flower, Hao! I haven’t been so happy for such a long time!
“Right! What’s for dinner tonight? Shall we go to the wet market? I wanna go too!”
She happily got out of the car and pulled Tang Hao’s hand.
Chapter 542 - The Return of Wang Changsheng
“Long time no see, Uncle, Auntie! I’m back at last!”
Ling Wei greeted the stall owners in the wet market as she dragged Tang Hao along.
“Hello, lassie! You look good in those clothes!” The middle-aged woman smiled.
“You haven’t been here for a long time, lassie. I thought you’ve broken up with that Tang boy!” A middle-aged vegetable seller laughed.
Ling Wei blushed and stole a glance at Tang Hao. “I didn’t!” She said as she shook her head.
“That’s good. Right, do you want these vegetables! They’re fresh and cheap!”
“Well… hmm, I can’t choose! How about a catty each?” Ling Wei looked around and eventually at Tang Hao.
“A catty it is then, Uncle!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright!”
Very soon, Tang Hao and Ling Wei returned with a big bag of vegetables.
He made a pot of mixed vegetable soup with some medicinal herbs and stir-fried griffin meat.
Ling Wei went to take a shower in the meantime. She hummed a merry tune in the bathroom.
She came out half an hour later, only dressed in one of Tang Hao’s shirts.
She walked out barefoot. She seemed to be coated in an aura of water vapor, which made her skin look fairer and more delicate.
“Smells so good!”
Her eyes sparkled when she took a whiff.
She quickly walked into the kitchen and looked around.
“What meat is that? It’s so fragrant!” She looked at the meat in the wok in amazement.
“Bird meat!” Tang Hao replied after thinking for a while.
“Wow, that must be a big bird!” Ling Wei exclaimed.
She stood aside and silently watched Tang Hao being busy in the kitchen.
She smiled mischievously, then sneaked behind Tang Hao and hugged him from behind.
Tang Hao shivered, and his hands shook.
“What’s up?” He said.
She chuckled next to Tang Hao’s ear. “I just want to hug you!”
“I’m cooking!” Tang Hao said helplessly.
He tried to restrain his urges, but the beautiful woman laughed and hugged him more tightly.
“It should be almost ready, right?” She laughed coyly.
“Mm, it’s almost done!” Tang Hao said.
“So… are we eating dinner first, or eating me first?” She said coyly as she bit her lip.
“Ahem!” Tang Hao’s face turned beet-red, and he coughed violently. “Dinner is almost ready. You can just wait for a moment!”
“So you’re eating me first?” Ling Wei said mischievously.
She chuckled again and pressed her cheek on Tang Hao’s broad shoulders.
“That’s… not very appropriate, right?” Tang Hao said awkwardly.
She laughed. “Why, are you afraid?”
She could tell that Tang Hao was feeling immensely guilty.
“I’ve told you last time, don’t think too much about it,” she said gently, “I don’t know when will be the next time I meet you, so, don’t worry too much!”
The kitchen was quiet except for the sizzling sounds of meat in the wok.
Very soon, Tang Hao turned off the stove.
She released her hug and took a step back, smiled seductively at Tang Hao, then pulled his hand toward the bedroom.
After they went into the room, she turned around and hugged Tang Hao tightly.
Bang! The door slammed shut.
Some time later in the night.
Everything finally became peaceful once again.
“I’m so hungry, Hao! But… I don’t want to get up yet. Can we lie on the bed for a while more?”
She said coyly as she curled up next to Tang Hao.
However, her stomach started growling audibly.
“I can’t take it anymore. I was already hungry, and I’m starving after that workout. Let’s eat!” She pulled Tang Hao up from the bed, and they went to the kitchen for dinner.
The next morning, Uncle Ming came to fetch her. After seeing her off, Tang Hao went to the university.
…
There was a long mountain range in the west of Huaxia.
Somewhere within the mountains was a cave that went deep into the earth, as though it was a path to the underworld.
Suddenly, the cave was illuminated with a blood-colored light.
The light persisted for three days, and it became more and more intense.
If any Mao Mountain Taoist masters saw that, they would have been alerted. The blood-red light was the characteristic of extremely negative qi.
Something seemed to be incubating in the light.
Finally, on the dawn of the fourth day, the blood-red light reached its maximum intensity. A figure sprang out of the light and hovered in the air, emanating an aura of pure evil.
“Hahaha!”
Maniacal laughter shook the heavens and the earth.
The laughter echoed in the mountains and valleys, like a thunderclap.
“Hahaha! I, Wang Changsheng, live again!”
He waved his arms and announced grandly.
He was a different Wang Changsheng from before.
In a fortunate turn of events, he managed to reconstitute his body. His cultivation base was restored to the level before he was sealed, which was a Perfected Person in the State of Foundation Establishment.
A few hundred years ago, he was one of the most evil and powerful villains in the world. No one could stand against his power.
Now that the cultivation world had declined, he would be able to defeat every other cultivator in the world.
“I, Wang Changsheng, am invincible!”
He clenched his fists, allowing the negative qi course through his veins. He lifted his head and howled skyward. The soundwaves rippled even the fabric of reality.
“This power… is too amazing!
“If I had this power before, would that kid even be able to defeat me?”
He became furious when he was reminded about the humiliating defeats he had suffered.
‘I am the greatest villain in history. How did I get defeated by some filthy kid? What is going on in this world?
&
nbsp; ‘This is utter humiliation!’
“This time, I shall vindicate myself. Just you wait, you filthy kid. All you filthy Mao Mountain Taoist masters, you shall wait for your reckoning too.
“My Wang family blood shall not spill in vain!”
His face contorted viciously.
After that, he started examining his reconstituted body.
“Tsk tsk, this skin is so much better than the last time. Wow, I have hair on my head too! I’m sure I look handsome. Right, how about down there?”
He reached between his legs. He wanted to feel how well-endowed he was after his reconstitution.
However, he could not grab anything. The part between his legs was unimaginably bare.
He stood petrified on the spot. The smile froze on his face.
His eyes nearly popped out of his sockets, and he started to look frantic.
“Impossible… this is impossible… I must be hallucinating!”
He mumbled as he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He took a deep breath and looked downward.
An agonized scream tore through the night sky.
“My testicles!”
Chapter 543 - Bring Down Mao Mountain
“Ahh, this feeling sucks!”
In a clearing somewhere in the mountains, a figure was sitting on the ground leaning against a big tree.
He was dressed in a grey traditional Chinese tunic and a round straw hat, exactly like a peasant farmer.
He held a cigarette in his left hand, from which he occasionally dragged.
He looked lonely, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
After reconstituting his body and restoring his cultivation base, he should be terrorizing the world once more. However, missing his private parts was a huge blow to his confidence.
Without those parts, he did not feel like a man at all.
“Sigh!” He sighed, and the feeling of melancholy became stronger.
