Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

When Ye Ling got home, it was just around three o'clock, and Wang Shufen had just finished her afternoon nap.

"Mom, I'm back," Ye Ling said as he entered the house and switched to a pair of slippers, the shoes he had worn all day making his feet stuffy. He sat down on the sofa and let out a long breath.

The half day he had experienced was simply too thrilling; there had been slapping faces, seizing opportunities, and being surrounded and hounded by his prospective mother-in-law's relatives.

Wang Shufen washed her face and approached her son, "Son, tell Mom, do you have some kind of relationship with that Shen Xinyue? Let me tell you, if you want to hold on to a girl like her, you need to act fast."

"She's rich, beautiful like a Fairy in the paintings, and also polite. You have to hurry or you'll definitely regret it if you miss this chance," Wang Shufen said earnestly.

Ye Ling nodded and wore a smug smile, "Don't worry, Mom, she won't escape from the palm of your son's hand. Who do you think your son is, huh? I'm something!"

Wang Shufen then laughed and nodded, with her husband's unexplained disappearance; only her son remained. Now, all her thoughts were focused on Ye Ling.

Now that her son was successful, living in a big house and driving expensive cars, her only remaining wish was one thing.

To have grandchildren!

"Oh, by the way, Mom, Liu Qiao'er will be back soon. She's living here with me now. I'm giving you a heads-up," Ye Ling said before getting up and heading inside.

Wang Shufen took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering with an unusual gleam as she smiled slightly, "Hah, that's my son. I bet this girl has something going on with Ye Ling."

"But what's the big deal? Now that Ling has money, even if he has several kids, he can afford to take care of them."

"Tsk, tsk, what should I do if I can't handle them all? Hire a nanny?"

"I heard that city nannies are all like villains in TV dramas; careless and they might abuse my grandsons and granddaughters. Forget it, I'll just work hard and take care of them myself."

If Ye Ling had heard her, he surely would have given her a thumbs up. Where did this come from? His mother had started to let her imagination run wild.

After a few minutes, the door opened, and Liu Qiao'er returned. Today, she had specially taken leave and had come home early. Moreover, she was dressed meticulously, as she now considered herself Ye Ling's girlfriend.

The prospective daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law, how could she be too casual? Especially Liu Qiao'er, who came from a poor family, was even more mindful of this, fearing that Ye Ling's mother might look down on her.

As soon as Liu Qiao'er entered, Wang Shufen's eyes lit up. "Boy, this girl is really beautiful," she thought, especially noting that her chest and rear end were not small at all.

"A big butt, good for giving birth and easy to raise, tsk, tsk, my little Ling has a really good eye indeed," Wang Shufen was delighted.

Seeing Wang Shufen sitting on the sofa, Liu Qiao'er hurried over with a smile, "Hello, Auntie, I heard from Big Brother Ye that you were here, so I came back early to keep you company."

"You know, these past few days, Ye Ling has been nonstop chattering into my ear about you, saying how pretty you are, how virtuous, and that you can endure hardships."

"At first, I didn't believe him. I wondered how could there be such a perfect girl, but seeing you today, well, I must say, this kid didn't praise you enough!" Wang Shufen quickly stood up, took Liu Qiao'er's hand, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Qiao'er felt as sweet as if her heart was coated with honey, her eyes sparkling like crescent moons, her smile so wide she could hardly close her mouth.

"Big Brother Ye has really given me a lot of face, praising me so much. Am I really that good?" she thought.

It seems it's time to give him some sweetness in return, right?

A reward, a reward indeed.

Ye Ling, who had come out after hearing the door, twitched his eyelids at his mother's words.

This mother of his definitely ranked as the best in the world, without a doubt, an excellent wingman!

Seeing Ye Ling walk out, Liu Qiao'er hurriedly smiled and said, "Big Brother Ye, you should talk less about me to Auntie in the future. If you say something bad by mistake, it might affect the impression I make on her."

Ye Ling grinned, his lips quirking up, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Liu Qiao'er, making her heart flutter.

"Alright Qiao'er, tidy up the house a bit. Mom and I are going to buy some groceries to cook dinner at home tonight," Ye Ling said softly.

Wang Shufen nodded, "Okay, I know where the place is. If you two get busy from now on, I can make dinner for you at home, so you don't have to eat out."

Liu Qiao'er nodded, watching Ye Ling and Wang Shufen leave the house, no longer able to conceal the smile in her heart, she began to tidy up the room with a beaming smile.

Although the room was already clean, Liu Qiao'er still meticulously cleaned and organized, to not let any blemish soil the perfect impression she originally had.

Not far from where Ye Ling lived was a vegetable market, planned by the municipal government, with all kinds of meat and vegetables available, and fresh too.

After a ten-minute walk, the two of them arrived. Even though it was not yet four o'clock, it was already crowded.

It was mostly idle elders from the neighborhood, coming to buy food for the evening meal, preparing to return home and wait for their children, so they could serve a hot meal as soon as their children came home.

The hearts of parents, in this lifetime, are ultimately tied to their children.

Seeing the dazzling array of stalls around her, Wang Shufen couldn't help but smile proudly, "Little Ling, tonight mom will cook for you the fish-fragrant shredded pork and mapo tofu you loved the most as a child!"

Ye Ling was stunned, his nose tingled, and memories of bygone years flooded back. Although he had arrived from another time, these two dishes held a significant place in Ye Ling's life.

Back when the family was poor, the sight of meat made Ye Ling feel as if it were New Year's. His favorites were the fish-fragrant shredded pork, which didn't contain much meat, and the mapo tofu made by Wang Shufen.

That taste, it was the taste of childhood.

It was the taste of home.

It was mom's taste!

"Mom! From now on, we will live better than anyone else! Your son swears! I won't let you suffer even the slightest grievance!" Ye Ling hugged Wang Shufen tightly and said earnestly!

Wang Shufen smiled lightly. As long as her son was doing well, it was all she could ask for. A little hardship for herself didn't matter.

But what she didn't know was that Ye Ling, the once supreme Immortal Emperor, commanding the Nine Heavens, was as steadfast as a rock in his every word and action!

From the Immortal Emperor, fallen to his current state, Ye Ling's heart had also gradually begun to change.

Domination of the Nine Heavens, invincibility, what bullshit.

To bring honor to his parents, to provide a stable and prosperous life for his wife and child, and to take pride in oneself, this is what a man should do.

Wang Shufen, with Ye Ling, walked from stall to stall, picking out the cleanest and freshest vegetables, and haggling with the vendors over a few cents for several minutes.

Ye Ling stood by, watching with a smile.

Now, he had money, not to mention a few cents, even a few million didn't matter to him.

But he enjoyed this process.

The two then arrived at a pork stall. Behind the rack of hanging pork was a middle-aged man with his bare chest exposed, wearing a leather apron and a cigarette in his mouth. He glanced at Wang Shufen, who had come to select the pork, and said nothing.

"Boss, how much is the pork per pound?" Wang Shufen asked with a smile, picking up a piece of pork belly.

The boss glanced at her and said indifferently, "Twenty-one per pound."

"Can it be a little cheaper?" Wang Shufen still asked with a smile, weighing the pork in her hand.

"Expensive? If you don't have money, don't buy it. If you're not buying, put the meat down. Can you afford it if you dirtied it?" the boss said disdainfully, looking coldly at Wang Shufen.

Ye Ling was startled, and then a surge of anger rose wildly in his heart!
