Chapter 76 He's My Boyfriend!
Chapter 76 He's My Boyfriend!
At noon, Ye Ling casually made something to eat and filled his stomach.
Although Ye Ling was at the Houtian Middle Stage and could go without eating for a day or two, it didn't matter.
But Ye Ling loved eating food from Earth!
Compared to the food of the Cultivation Realm or the Immortal Realm, even a simple bowl of instant noodles tasted incredibly delicious.
After eating, Ye Ling picked up all the jade tokens again and various methods of refining Jade Talismans surfaced in his mind.
Acceleration Talisman, Defense Talisman, Attack Talisman, and so on…
Many, many more.
However, these talismans were all general terms; for example, within Attack Talismans, there were Five Elements Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman, Storm Talisman, Thunder Talisman, and so on.
These talismans were divided into Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.
"With my current strength at the Houtian Middle Stage, I can only refine Low-Grade talismans, and even then, the only one I could manage to make is the most basic Five Elements Talisman within the Low Grade..."
Ye Ling sighed silently in his heart. No matter what, his own power was still too weak!
Fortunately, this was Earth, where even the most basic Low Grade talisman possessed tremendous power.
"Given the strength of these bullets on Earth, even the lowest-grade Low Grade talisman could withstand them. With a Middle Grade talisman, even if a bomb exploded on me, there wouldn't be the slightest problem!"
Refining Jade Talismans wasn't an easy task; it required True Qi.
Despite having immense experience, Ye Ling's cultivation was only at the Houtian Middle Stage, and his True Qi was too limited.
In an afternoon's time, Ye Ling only managed to refine 50 talismans, taking three breaks in between to recover his True Qi.
Among these 50 talismans, there were 20 Raging Flame Talismans, a type of fire element talisman, 10 Defense Talismans, and 10 talismans meant for setting up Spirit Gathering Arrays.
The last 10 were Acceleration Talismans.
This Acceleration Talisman could double one's speed for half an hour.
Of course, this was just the lowest grade of Low Grade Acceleration Talismans. A slightly stronger one could amplify speed by 3, 4, or even 5 times, or even more.
However, for Ye Ling's current needs, these were sufficient.
"As long as I'm not facing weapons like mortars, bullets are useless against me."
Ye Ling thought contentedly for a while, then glancing at the time, Liu Qiao'er should be off work by now.
He drove straight to the Global Financial Center and, indeed, saw Liu Qiao'er walking out of the office building.
Her perfect figure, upright twin peaks, and charmingly naïve appearance formed a beautiful scene that drew the attention of many people around her.
"Wifey, off work?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
Liu Qiao'er gave Ye Ling a look but didn't say much.
It was clear the two had slept together the previous night, and with Ye Ling having cured Liu Yuandong's illness, Liu Qiao'er's fondness for Ye Ling had skyrocketed.
After getting in the car, just as Ye Ling was about to drive away, he suddenly heard arguing coming from the entrance of the office building.
"Han Qingxin?"
Ye Ling frowned and saw that it was indeed Han Qingxin.
She was standing at the entrance of the office building, facing a young man.
"So it's him..."
Ye Ling let out a cold laugh.
This young man was the rich second-generation heir, Chen Hong.
Chen Hong was grabbing Han Qingxin's arm, and although she was trying hard to pull away, she clearly didn't have as much strength as Chen Hong.
People around were watching, but no one dared to intervene; not even the security guards acted as though they noticed.
No joke, anyone with eyes could see Chen Hong was driving a limited-edition Ferrari worth at least 4 million!
Who among the security guards would dare offend such a person?
"Playing the hero to save the damsel again?"
The voice of Liu Qiao'er, tinged with jealousy, came from behind him.
Ye Ling gave an awkward smile; he was actually planning to get out of the car.
But with Liu Qiao'er saying that, the step Ye Ling had already taken hung in midair, uncertain whether to proceed or not.
"I'm just kidding!"
Liu Qiao'er let out a giggle and said, "This job, after all, was found for me by Sister Qing Xin, so how can we stand by and do nothing when there's trouble?"
Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a frown, "What's going on here?"
"This guy, Chen Hong, has been in our planning department since this morning, and it's been like this until now. It seems he insists on talking to Sister Qing Xin about something, but Sister Qing Xin doesn't want to, so it turned into this mess."
Liu Qiao'er urged, "Hey, stop dawdling and go check it out. Sister Qing Xin's arm is already bruised from that guy's grabbing."
"Wait here for me."
After saying that, Ye Ling got straight out of the car.
"Chen Hong, are you never going to stop?"
From a distance, Han Qing Xin's angry voice could be heard.
"Haven't I told you? I don't want to participate in underground racing, and I don't have the skills. What more do you want?"
"Qing Xin, you've misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to compete; I just want you to sit in my car, to be my racing queen," said Chen Hong.
Han Qingxin chuckled coldly, "Racing queen? Chen Hong, do you think I don't know what the racing queen's role is? I'm not your lover, nor your girlfriend, let alone your wife. We have nothing to do with each other, so why should I be your racing queen?"
"Qing Xin, you know I've always liked you, and my dad is already preparing to propose to your dad on my behalf. It's only a matter of time before we end up together, so why the resistance?"
A shadow of gloom flashed through Chen Hong's eyes.
"Let go of me first!" Han Qingxin yelled.
But Chen Hong wouldn't let go, and he shouted to the onlookers, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a couple arguing? Get lost, all of you!"
Everyone looked on with contempt, but they dared not say much.
Just then, Han Qingxin suddenly saw Ye Ling, who was approaching lazily.
Han Qingxin immediately said, "Chen Hong, even if my dad agrees, I won't marry you! Because I already have a boyfriend."
"Oh?"
Chen Hong clearly didn't believe it; he scoffed, "Then tell me, who's your boyfriend? I want to see who dares to snatch a woman from me, Chen Hong."
"Don't flatter yourself, my boyfriend is so much better than you, it's not even close!" Han Qingxin snorted.
"Then go ahead and tell me, who's your boyfriend? I'll beat him up right now!"
"It's him!"
Han Qingxin suddenly pointed at Ye Ling and said, "My boyfriend is him, taller than you, more handsome than you, better than you in every way!"
Hearing this, Ye Ling nearly stumbled and fell.
Since when did I become your boyfriend?
Here I was, thinking about being a hero, and this girl turned me into a pawn first.
Chen Hong followed Han Qingxin's slender jade finger to look, and found Ye Ling somewhat familiar.
Furrowing his brow, Chen Hong suddenly remembered—wasn't this the same unlucky guy who got hit by a car and struck by lightning?
Back then, Ye Ling's face had been charred black by the lightning, and for a moment, Chen Hong could hardly recognize him.
"Is it this jinx?"
Chen Hong burst into laughter: "Qing Xin, you've got to be joking with me! This guy is qualified to be your boyfriend? That just kills me!" Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelFire.net
