Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Inside Ye Ling's villa, as the two entered the house, they were startled to see the faint light still flickering in the hall.

On the sofa, the somewhat aged figure was silently watching TV, while Liu Qiao'er, leaning against the couch, had already entered her dreams.

"Mom!" Ye Ling couldn't help shouting out, his nose feeling slightly sour.

Wang Shufen quickly turned around, her face brightening with happiness upon seeing Ye Ling return, but upon seeing Zang Hua, she clearly paused, astonishment filling her eyes.

Such a beautiful girl, if she could become her daughter-in-law, how beautiful her grandchildren would be.

"Xiao Ling, you're back. What would you like to eat? Mom will make it for you. You must be hungry, coming back so late at night," Wang Shufen said as she stood up, rubbing her rough palms.

Ye Ling's eyes reddened, and he walked straight to Wang Shufen's side, wrapping his mother tightly in his arms. At that moment, Ye Ling swore he would never let his mother suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, not even from the gods!

Feeling her son's emotion, Wang Shufen couldn't help but smile and pat Ye Ling's back, "Alright, look at the girl standing there."

Zang Hua smiled faintly, bowing slightly, "Auntie, I'm sorry for disturbing you so late at night."

Meanwhile, Liu Qiao'er, who had been sleeping on the couch, also woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She first looked at Ye Ling with excitement, but her expression noticeably stiffened when she saw Zang Hua.

"Alright, Mom, you should go rest. You can't stay up so late anymore. You're getting older, and it's not good for your health," Ye Ling said as he helped Wang Shufen into the room.

Wang Shufen patted Ye Ling's hand, "Sigh, I can't sleep when you're not home."

After a pause, Wang Shufen added, "But son, you dare to bring that girl home? Are you not afraid of hurting Qiao'er? She's a good girl, and you must not let her down."

"Mom, don't worry, your son wouldn't do something so heartless," Ye Ling said as he helped his mother onto the bed, wished her good night, and then left the room.

In the hall, Zang Hua wore a smile, while Liu Qiao'er opposite her was gloomy, her eyes fixed on Zang Hua.

Creak, Ye Ling quietly closed the door to his mother's room, and Liu Qiao'er pointed at Ye Ling, her teeth clenched, "Ye Ling, you've gone too far!"

"I don't care what you do outside, but to bring her home, are you trying to show off to me?"

"Fine, I forgot, what am I to you, Liu Qiao'er? What do I count for? I'm leaving!"

At those words, Ye Ling was stunned, quickly going over and covering Liu Qiao'er's mouth, "Don't be so loud, Mom just fell asleep. Come on, let's go upstairs to talk."

Liu Qiao'er, fuming, pushed Ye Ling's hand away and pouted as she walked towards the stairs, not even glancing at Ye Ling.

Zang Hua was amused, "Tsk tsk, your little girlfriend is mad. You better think about how to placate her."

Hearing this, Ye Ling slapped his chest, "Tsk tsk, don't worry, your husband has quite the say at home."

After saying that, Ye Ling crept upstairs with a flattering smile on his face.

Upstairs, in a bedroom, Liu Qiao'er sat on the bed with a pouty face, her crystal-clear delicate hands fiercely pinching the summer quilt.

Ye Ling pushed the door open, a smile on his face, walked to the bed, and immediately wrapped his arms around the angry Liu Qiao'er.

"Wife, what's the matter? Why are you so upset? I have something to tell you, a matter of great importance," Ye Ling said, shaking Liu Qiao'er in his arms.

Liu Qiao'er wanted to push Ye Ling away, but her feeble strength was nowhere near enough to move him, and in the end, she had to give up.

"You can play around outside all you want, I've said I was okay with that, but to actually bring it into our home, isn't that slapping me in the face?"

"I'm just average-looking and the family isn't rich. I'm a burden to you, but tell me, just tell me and I'll leave on my own—no need for you to shame me!"

Tears fell from Liu Qiao'er's expressive eyes, free-flowing as if they cost no money, stringing into lines and dropping onto the bed.

Ye Ling saw this and his face was full of heartache as he hurried to wipe her tears. However, Liu Qiao'er angrily dodged his touch, not letting Ye Ling get near her.

"Ah, Qiao'er, would you please listen to me?" said Ye Ling helplessly, but Liu Qiao'er kept shaking her head and refused to stop, making Ye Ling so anxious that he was pulling his hair.

Zang Hua, standing at the doorway, shook her head at the sight, walked over to Liu Qiao'er, and said with a stern face, "Do you think you can be happy with him for the rest of your life?"

Liu Qiao'er could ignore Ye Ling's words, but Zang Hua's words made her stand up.

Oh, how about that? You, the mistress, still have such a temper, challenging my status in our home?

"I can't be with him for a lifetime, can't be happy forever?"

"Even if you replace me, do you think in the future, you can be by his side forever?"

"If he can abandon me, he can abandon you too!"

Ye Ling was startled. What kind of things were being said, making it seem like he was a heartless traitor, "Qiao'er, how could I ever abandon you? Please don't think like that."

"You, shut up!" Liu Qiao'er pointed at Ye Ling before glaring fiercely at Zang Hua.

If it were someone else, they probably would have been intimidated by Liu Qiao'er's sudden burst of presence, but who was Zang Hua? She had seen scenes that even mercenaries living perennially on the battlefield couldn't imagine, so of course she wouldn't be frightened.

"Are you willing to watch Ye Ling in his prime while you grow old and can no longer take care of yourself, and then have to watch him live alone?" Zang Hua said seriously.

As soon as Zang Hua finished speaking, Liu Qiao'er was stunned, then with a gloomy face, she said, "I get it now, you're cursing me to die, aren't you?"

"I'm not cursing you, I'm telling the truth. Ye Ling can live for at least three to five hundred years. What about you? Even if he rejects me, after you die, can you guarantee that he'll spend the next several hundred years alone?"

"Forget whether or not you can guarantee it, if you truly love him, would you be willing to watch him live alone for hundreds of years?"

Liu Qiao'er was taken aback and then snorted with laughter, "Ye Ling, even if you want to be with her, do you need to come up with such a childish excuse?"

"Live for three to five hundred years? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? What's the current Guinness record for age?" Liu Qiao'er's eyes were wide with anger.

Do they really think I'm a fool?

But Ye Ling just twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Qiao'er, it's true."

Liu Qiao'er was stunned, then her face turned blue with rage and she laughed sarcastically, "Ye Ling! You really think I'm a fool, don't you?"

Zang Hua shrugged her shoulders and pointed at Liu Qiao'er. Clearly, this question had to be directed to Ye Ling.

"Qiao'er, look into my eyes. Have I ever lied to you?" Ye Ling said, holding Liu Qiao'er's shoulders seriously.
