72 I Want To Eat Barbeque Food!
All of a sudden, the Chaos Blade Essence was no longer responding. Instead, it flew back inside Chen's palm.
"What is happening?"
Chen felt the changes inside his body. He found out that his dragon aura had been depleted. His cultivation is still too weak. If he wanted to control the Chaos Blade Essence freely, he needed to train more with the Scripture of Heaven and Earth. Action spoke louder than words. Chen drank a bottle of Potion of Hundred Herbs to rejuvenate his strength. He then quickly went to train himself. At the same time, the Chaos Blade Essence slept like a baby inside Chen's body. It was really quiet.
Chen trained all night long. His combat power reached six hundred finally. Just a little more before he could reach another level of training. However, Chen had to put a pause on his training today, because he had arranged a date with Lan to the jewelry shop. After a quick bath, Chen drove his car and waited in front of the school. So, at this point, you must be wondering where Xiangyu was. Chen was smart enough not to bring his fake girlfriend along while having a very real date with Lan the goddess.
Also, Xiangyu was deeply immersed in her training. There was no guarantee that she would tag along even if Chen invited her. Indeed, there was a reason behind why certain people were better and more powerful than others. The effort that they put in their training closely affected their performance. Even Chen himself was impressed by him.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Lan walked slowly towards Chen. A sincere smile was on her gorgeous face, it was a scene to feast on.
"It's my pleasure to wait for you. Others don't even have the opportunity to wait on you."
Chen opened the car door for her like a gentleman. Then, he said flirtatiously, "You look absolutely gorgeous today! Did you purposely make yourself look good for me?"
"I don't think so! Quit sweet talking me!" Lan stared at Chen playfully. She was actually very happy deep inside her heart. She had a fringe-cut, today. Her hair was naturally wavy. It made her looked gentle. She wore a short-sleeved white jacket, paired with a yellow knee-length skirt. It actually made her body look extra curvaceous. That was what a real goddess is!
Chen couldn't help glancing at her through the mirror as he drove. Scientifically speaking, staring at goddesses would lengthen your life. Also, Lan was such a masterpiece. He kept staring again and again. Chen was feasting his eyes all the way to the jewelry shop.
"Bro Bei! You are here! Lady Lan is here as well! Welcome!" Jing Fei quickly ran out from the shop. Jing Fei was helping Chen to take care of the furnishings of the jewelry shop and the bungalow as well.
"How are things progressing?" Chen asked.
"The bungalow needs another week for the final touches. As for the jewelry shop, the furnishing process is not as extensive as the bungalow. It should be done and ready by tomorrow." Jing Fei walked them both into the jewelry shop and briefed them at the same time.
"Lan, just have a look. Do I need to change anything according to your plan?" Chen said.
"Erm… Overall, it looks quite well-done. However, there are some small problems. Look here…" Lan fell into the serious zone really fast. She was showing Chen the places that needed serious improvement. Lan was a smart and observant girl. There were a lot of small details that could have been easily missed out if she didn't mention them to Chen and Jing Fei. Later, even the interior designer tailed behind her and marked down every single thing that she said.
…..
Back at Lan family's lake mansion.
*PIAK!*
Lan Zhengguo face turned black and he slammed his Macbook on the table.
On the screen, it showed one of the posts on the school forum.
[Mysterious guy, Bro Bei. Hitting on two most beautiful girls at the same time. He just singles handily destroyed two gorgeous ladies.]
"Asshole! How dare he hit on Lan and other girls at the same time?! Such nasty scandal! The people from the City of Dragon will definitely not let this go!" Lan Zhengguo's face filled with extreme anger. Also, he felt uneasy. If the problem could make the man of Lan family unease, that would mean that the potential of the problem in the City of Dragon must be very threatening and scary. Even big families like Lan could not fight against them!
"Uncle Feng! Where is Mengchen?" Lan Zhengguo made a phone call.
"Lady Lan is with the kid right now…"Uncle Feng said with a husky voice.
"Bring her back now!" Lan was so angry that he slammed on the table.
Why is my daughter becoming so useless?! She knows the kid is hitting on two girls at the same time! Why is she still willing to stick with him?!
"I understand. However, they are now at the center of the street. It's not a good timing. When the time is right I will grab Lady Lan back home."
He then paused and asked, "How about that kid?"
"I have given him a chance and he did not appreciate it! I have to give a good explanation to the people at City of Dragon after the happening of this nasty scandal!"
Finally, Lan Zhungguo made his decision,"Kill him!"
...
Evening fell. After Lan's critiques concerning the jewelry shop, all was settled. Chen made up his mind to reward Lan. After a short discussion, Lan gave a shocking reply to Chen. She wanted to eat barbequed food. Chen never thought that the richest lady in Green Vine City had a preference for street food. Chen would definitely satisfy her demands, no matter what! Jiangbin road has the best barbequed food in Green Vine City.
The Green Vine river flowed throughout the city. People call it the Mother River. During the day, a lot of middle-aged ladies would gather at the Jiangbin public square to dance. During the night, a lot of people would set up their barbeque shops. It was always quite a scene. Chen brought Jing Fei and Lan to one the empty tables of a passing barbeque shop. Then, he ordered a lot of food as if he was a regular customer.
"Wow! I never dreamt that the Lady Lan of Green Vine City would have a thing for street food." Chen was teasing Lan.
"Who said that a rich girl is not allowed to eat street food?
Lan rolled her eyes at Chen and said defensively, "My dad does not allow me to eat barbequed food! I want to eat it behind his back! I don't care!"
"Erm… Now I know that you like to "eat"(cheat) behind someone's back." Chen gulped.
Lan did not understand the hidden meaning of those words. She nodded cutely and said, "Yes! I like barbequed chicken wings the best! Don't you dare snatch them away later!"
"All the women in this world like to eat! Even this goddess is no exception! Well, that is a good thing. At least, she won't starve herself when we get together." Chen smiled evilly. Jing Fei was smiling for his master as well.
"Alright! Your chicken wings are done!" The owner of the barbeque shop shouted. He was getting ready to serve them the chicken wings on an iron plate.
Suddenly, the guy who sat right in front of Chen grabbed the owner's shirt.
"Leave it here!"
It was a purple-haired punk. He haughtily jabbed the surface of his table with an index finger. He was demanding to be served first.
"But… Those three over there ordered this plate of chicken wings…" The owner protested.
"Leave it here! Don't make me say it the third time!" The punk with purple hair rumbled. The other two punks who sat with him stared angrily at the owner as well.
"Third time?! Even if you repeat that three hundred times, I will not give you the chicken wings!"
Chen turned around slowly to stare at them. He was furious.
