Chapter 19: Can I Just Follow You All The Time
“Wow~”
Silver curse coins gushed out from the palm of his hand like a fountain. The coins scattered on the ground, making a tinkling sound as they rolled everywhere.
The people present were dumbfounded!
They were utterly shocked! What kind of performance was this? Even with magic, there was no spell that could create money out of thin air.
Sui Li’er’s mouth hung open in astonishment, forgetting even to gasp.
The people around couldn’t help but gather around Chen Ling’s hand, trying to figure out how he did it. However, they couldn’t see anything.
Someone picked up one of the coins from the ground.
They exclaimed, “These are actual curse coins… but… why are they only in the smallest denomination?”
That’s right, Chen Ling gave them one piece at a time, take your time counting.
Love scolding people? Then scold to your hearts content! Chen Ling could already imagine them counting the coins while cursing him. The angrier you are, the happier I am!
“27,333. Take your time counting. Oh, by the way, the shark fin soup in your shop is good.” With that, he quickly walked out.
The waitstaff stared in confusion at the scattered coins on the ground, all wearing masks of anguish.
“Go call him back!” One of them angrily shouted.
“You go. I’m not going anyway. That person was too weird!”
…
“Chen Ling!” Sui Li’er followed Chen Ling, happily bouncing beside him.
Seeing her so happy, Chen Ling was in a good mood too. “What’s the matter?”
“You’re amazing!”
Chen Ling pretended to be calm and waved his hand dismissively. “Oh, it’s just a small trick, nothing special. Let’s keep it low-key.”
“It’s so incredible! It’s so cool, it was like a fountain of curse coins!”
Chen Ling smiled, walking slowly. “Do you like their food? If you do, we can come again next time.”
Sui Li’er’s smile froze, and she pouted. “Then forget it, I don’t like them.”
Chen Ling looked at her. “Oh? Why?”
Sui Li’er kicked a stone on the ground unhappily, sending it flying far away. “Because they insulted you… that’s why I dislike them!”
“You don’t like them?” Chen Ling asked again.
“Yeah! I don’t like them! How can they just insult you like that…”
Chen Ling suddenly laughed. “Haha~ Then I can rest assured.”
Just as he finished speaking.
“BOOM!”
A loud explosion!
The entire ground shook.
A powerful blast of heat suddenly pushed from behind, causing Sui Li’er to stumble forward a few steps.
She turned back in terror and saw Chen Ling, with a cold and indifferent expression, standing in a pitching stance, looking at the now-destroyed restaurant behind him.
At this moment, the restaurant was no longer there, reduced to a burning ruin. Who knows what Chen Ling had just thrown.
〚 Ding~ Detected the host’s unwarranted destruction of public property. Deducting 10 points based on the extent of damage! 〛
“Tch… only 10 points… what a joke.”
The people around looked bewildered. How did it suddenly explode?
In front of the wreckage was a person, a service staff from the restaurant who had intended to call Chen Ling back.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel relieved: Thank goodness… I came out.
“What… what did you do!” Sui Li’er’s eyes were filled with disbelief. (⊙﹏⊙)
Did Chen Ling destroy that restaurant!?
Chen Ling stretched lazily, turned around, and bared his teeth as he looked at Sui Li’er, his eyes devoid of emotion. “You said you didn’t like them, right? Well, coincidentally, I don’t like them either.”
“You… they’re not all dead, are they?” Sui Li’er’s voice trembled with fear.
“They’re not completely dead yet, so… don’t you want them to die?”
“Uh… of course not!” Sui Li’er believed that because of her words, Chen Ling had killed them all.
“Oh.” Chen Ling said casually: “Range Group Life Restoration.”
〚 Ding~ Casting Range Group Restoration Spell, restoration successful. 〛
Since it was Chen Ling’s doing, no points were added. Those people hadn’t died completely, nor had any points been deducted.
Then Chen Ling glanced at Sui Li’er: “Alright, they’re not dead. Are you satisfied?”
However, Sui Li’er suddenly began to apologize frantically to the people from the restaurant: “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry… it’s all my fault!”
〚 Ding~ Abnormal emotional state detected, – 100,000 points! 〛
〚 -100,000 points! 〛
〚 – 100,000 points! 〛
Chen Ling looked at Sui Li’er, who was apologizing, as if he had opened the door to a new world: “Oh… so you can deduct points like this… hehehe…” His smile gradually became twisted…
New skill acquired +1!
“Huh?” Sui Li’er heard Chen Ling’s twisted laughter and couldn’t help but glance at him.
“What are you laughing at…” She suddenly had a bad feeling. Chen Ling smiled and said: “It’s nothing, let’s go.”
Sui Li’er quickly caught up with him but couldn’t help looking back at the burning ruins: “You can’t do this next time! Although I said I didn’t like them… I didn’t want them to die!”
Chen Ling: “Hmm-hmm-hmm…”
Sui Li’er: “Why do I feel like you’re just brushing me off?”
“Hmm-hmm-hmm…”
“You’re definitely brushing me off!”
“Hmm-hmm-hmm…”
“Chen Ling!”
“Hmm?” Chen Ling had a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing his confident and indifferent demeanor, Sui Li’er was rendered speechless.
“Hmph!”
“Hmph~”
“You… don’t imitate me!”
“You, don’t imitate me~”
“I’m ignoring you!”
“I’m ignoring you~”
Sui Li’er: ????
Today she learned three things:
The first thing: When the Lord God asks her if she believes, she should say no.
The second thing: Never tell the Lord God who she dislikes, or else he will kill them…
The third thing: The Lord God is a childish prankster! Mimicking my speech! Hmph…
Ten minutes later: “Chen Ling, where are we going?”
Chen Ling glanced at her: “I don’t know, where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know either.” Sui Li’er had always been searching for Chen Ling, looking for a second person who could see her. Now that Chen Ling has been found, she doesn’t need a second person anymore.
So where should they go now? She really didn’t know.
“Um… Can I just follow you all the time?”
Chen Ling turned to look at her, and her little face turned red~
“I want to take a poop, will you come then?”
“Huh?” The expression on Sui Li’er’s face instantly fell.
“I’m wont!!”
Chen Ling pursed his lips: “Tch, didn’t you say you wanted to follow me all the time?”
“You…”
“I’m ignoring you!”
Chen Ling sneered: “Oh well, in ten minutes you’ll start talking again.”
Sui Li’er: ???
Wow… I’m so angry… I absolutely won’t pay attention to him this time!
Absolutely!
〚 Ding~ Abnormal emotional state detected, -100,000 points! 〛
Chen Ling couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Oh, I see now…
Ten minutes passed, and no points were deducted. But Sui Li’er really didn’t say anything. Seems like she really got angry.
Chen Ling smiled: “Do you have any place you want to go?”
“Um… I…”
“Huh? Who just said they wouldn’t pay attention to me?”
Sui Li’er was taken aback. And then…
(>皿<)
〚 Ding~ -100,000 〛
〚 -100,000 〛
〚 -100,000 〛
“Hahaha…”
Chen Ling was almost laughing to death.
〚 Ding~ -100,000 points! 〛
“Hahaha…”
〚 Ding~ -100,000 points! 〛
“Haha…”
“Chen Ling!”
“Burp~ What’s wrong?”
“Hmph!” Sui Li’er was so angry that she walked forward with large steps.
Chen Ling chuckled and followed her. He continued to smile as he looked at the system interface.
〚 -100,000 points 〛kept flashing on the screen. However, it disappeared before two minutes had passed.
Is she not angry anymore?
Chen Ling thought, “Well, I won’t tease her anymore.”
“Hey… Why are you walking so fast?” This time, Sui Li’er didn’t even grunt, she just kept walking quickly.
Seeing her like that, Chen Ling smiled and said, “Still sulking?”
“Hmph~” Sui Li’er lightly snorted and stopped responding to him. She really wouldn’t pay attention to him anymore.
But deep down, she was thinking: If he coaxes me… I’ll pay attention to him!
“Hey hey… Don’t be mad.”
“Hmph~”
Inner thoughts: Coax me some more! ( ̄ε  ̄ )
Chen Ling really wanted to coax her, but when he saw Sui Li’er’s expression, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Heh… Cough cough…” He quickly covered it up with a cough.
Sui Li’er stopped in her tracks and turned her head: “Hmm? Are you laughing?”
Chen Ling suddenly felt a bit flustered: “Cough… I’m not!”
Sui Li’er: “You’re definitely laughing.”
“Cough… Fine then~ I am laughing.” Chen Ling smiled at her with a mischievous look.
Sui Li’er took a deep breath: Oh my god! Why are you so infuriating?
I won’t pay attention to you anymore… Hmph…
With that, Sui Li’er continued walking forward. Chen Ling smiled and, in an instant, disappeared and continued to follow her.
Sui Li’er’s inner thoughts: You have to coax me three more times… Then I’ll forgive you. Hmm… Forget it, last time was only once, so this time it should be twice!
It has to be twice!
As she said that, she glanced to the side and suddenly realized that Chen Ling was nowhere to be seen.
“Chen…” She immediately stopped in her tracks, looking back in disbelief.
Nothing! There was nothing there! The people in this world were walking as usual, ignoring her just like before.
While everyone in the city felt the heat, Sui Li’er felt unbearably cold. She felt as if she had fallen into a dark world, where no one could see her, and Chen Ling was nowhere to be found.
Endless loneliness suddenly enveloped her once again. Her aqua blue hair gradually turned pink, from top to bottom. Sadness spread through every cell in her body. At that moment, a person approached her, entering her field of vision.
She felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, only to be utterly disappointed the next second. That person wasn’t Chen Ling, He couldn’t see her.
Sui Li’er had to move aside to avoid colliding with him.
“Chen Ling?” Her voice trembled from the first word.
At that moment, Chen Ling, who was invisible, suddenly felt something was amiss.
“Ah…” Tears streamed down her face the next moment.
〚 Ding~ -1 million points! 〛
〚 -1 million points! 〛
Damn it! It’s over… she’s crying again. Chen Ling no longer cared about the stupid points and how much they decreased. He couldn’t bear to see her cry!
He immediately appeared in front of her.
“Waaah!” Sui Li’er covered her face with her hands and cried uncontrollably, tears flowing down incessantly. She cried and sobbed, uttering incomprehensible words. “Don’t… go…”
“I will never… sob… be angry again…”
“I’m sorry… sniff… I… I…”
“I won’t… never again… sob… I’m sorry… Chen Ling…” Her words became incoherent.
Chen Ling stared at her dumbfounded, unsure of what to do! He regretted it deeply in his heart: It’s over… I went too far.
In the Main God Realm, Lin Moyu suddenly slammed the table.
“Bang!” It made the surrounding mentors jump.
“Chen Ling! Are you even human? Give me… no, damn it! Give her some comfort!”
Surrounding mentors: ??? What happened?
No one dared to speak when they saw her so furious.
Sui Li’er’s heart was truly exhausted as she cried out in anguish. Her body also felt powerless, she wanted to crouch down on the ground, to curl up like before, curled up in this world where no one could see her.
To shrink in a dark corner, motionless, waiting for life to slowly decay.
But just as she was about to crouch down, she felt a hand wrap around her waist, her body was suddenly pulled towards someone.
“Thud~” Gently landing in Chen Ling’s embrace. She sobbed and lifted her head, finding Chen Ling frowning and looking at her.
Although he frowned, his eyes were warm, very gentle. For the first time, she felt tenderness from Chen Ling’s icy eyes.
She felt her heart melting instantly.
“I’m sorry.” Chen Ling looked at her seriously, sincerely apologizing. He truly regretted it.
Sui Li’er bit her lip, trying to stop crying, but she was powerless: “Wuwu… Don’t go…”
Chen Ling looked at Sui Li’er’s eyes, so cold and beautiful like the moon, and for some reason, he lowered his head slowly.
