Dragon Emperor, Martial God

The hostel was extremely quiet since all the students had already headed to the classrooms for night self-study.

While Ling Yun was busy changing out of his school uniform, Tang Meng studied the hostel door that he broke the night before. After studying it for a long time, he asked, “Did you really use your leg to break down this door last night?”

In fact, when Tang Meng had witnessed how easily Ling Yun defeated Tu Gang, he knew that all the rumors surrounding Ling Yun were true.

Tang Meng was not going to ask any questions regarding the rumor in the morning that involved Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan.

Even if he was not afraid of Ling Yun beating him up, he was afraid that Cao Shanshan would find trouble with him. Ling Yun was not in the least bit bothered by Tang Meng. He picked up his shower basin and proceeded to the bathroom.

When Tang Meng saw Ling Yun’s jiggling fats as he walked past, he could not help but let out a mocking laughter.

“You’re really fat indeed!”

Ling Yun took a quick shower and proceeded to put on his new sports shoes and sports attire. Taking the iPhone 5 that he had bought for Ning Lingyu with him, he left the hostel with Tang Meng.

When Ling Yun reached the corridor of the hostel, he stretched out his arms and legs and jumped on the spot twice, immediately complimenting his new attire, “This is really comfortable!” He had intentionally bought two of the same attire. If one needed to be washed, he would still able to wear the other.

The two of them had chosen when they decided to show up. When they arrived at the classroom, they were just in time for the second period of self-revision.

Some students were walking in and out the classroom when they saw Ling Yun and Tang Meng standing at the classroom door, causing them to momentarily be in a daze.

Since Ling Yun was the center of attention at Qingshui High, no matter who saw him, they would definitely stare at him.

Tang Meng was from Class 2 but he knew the students from Class 1 pretty well. Glancing at a familiar face, he exclaimed, “Please kindly inform Ning Lingyu to come over.”

That student nodded his head. He then returned to his classroom and shouted, “Ning Lingyu, your brother and Tang Meng are looking for you!”

Ning Lingyu was excited upon hearing that Ling Yun had arrived. She immediately stood up from her seat and dashed out of the classroom. All of the students in Class 1 heard the call for Ning Lingyun, including Zhuang Meina. She, too, got a little excited upon hearing that Ling Yun and Tang Meng were here. She wanted to find out why Ling Yun was looking for Ning Lingyu. She turned her slim waist and stood up quietly from her desk. Swaying her hips, she cat-walked her way out, following Ning Lingyu.

“Brother, why are you here? Oh…”

Ning Lingyu was surprised to see Ling Yun appear in a brand new sports attire outside her classroom. He now looked new and clean. Ning Lingyu was unable to believe her own eyes! Ling Yun proceeded to fish out the iPhone 5 from his bag and placed it in Ning Lingyu’s hands. He said in a warm tone, “I bought his phone for you. I’ve already activated the phone number. There are five hundred dollars of value inside for you to call Mum when you miss her.”

“Are you serious? That’s great! This…is the iPhone 5!” Ning Lingyu stood rooted on the spot. She was totally stunned.

When Tang Meng saw Ning Lingyu’s face, one that was filled with unbelievable shock and happiness, he could not help but smile. He felt happy for her. Initially, the students had gathered around to check on the three of them. However, upon hearing Ning Lingyu scream in joy, they came nearer to see what had just happened.

“Wow, it’s really the iPhone 5…”

“It’s so shiny…”

“It’s real! Ning Lingyu has a phone now. Hurry up and get her number!”

All the students who commented suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at them. Indeed, it was Tang Meng who was staring at them viciously. They shut their mouths instantly, not talking about getting Ning Lingyu’s phone number any further. Of course, some arrogant remarks were also made.

“How can he afford the iPhone 5? Can you trust him? You never know, it might just be an empty box.”

These words came out from none other than Zhuang Meina. Ning Lingyu, Ling Yun, and Tang Meng frowned at her simultaneously.

Ling Yun did not even bat an eye at Zhuang Meina. Instead, he smiled lovingly at his sister and said, “Open it up! It’s white in color. If you don’t like it, I can change it for you.”

“I like it! Of course, I like it! I’d like it whichever color you choose!” Ning Lingyu replied, opening the box as Ling Yun told her to.

“It’s so pretty!” Ning Lingyu exclaimed uncontrollably as soon as she saw the white device in the box.

“Ha! Is it your first time seeing something good? Why are you overreacting? Trying to act rich? Buying such a good phone… I’m afraid that after you buy this phone, you won’t be able to pay for the phone bill…”

Zhuang Meina owned the iPhone 5 too. In the entire class, only her, Xie Junyan and a few others used that model. Now that Ling Yun had just bought Ning Lingyu one, she could not help but mock them sarcastically.

“Zhuang Meina, what did you just say?”

Tang Meng could no longer hold back. His face was filled with anger as he shouted furiously in Zhuang Meina’s face.

“What I say isn’t your problem! Tang Meng, don’t speak to me like that! I won’t tolerate it!” Zhuang Meina rebutted. Looking at how Tang Meng stood up for Ning Lingyu, she got even angrier. She put her hands on her hips and shouted back arrogantly.

At this moment, Xie Junyan walked out of his classroom. When he saw Tang Meng and Ling Yun standing together, his beautiful eyes flashed a glimpse of hatred.

There was nothing Tang Meng could do to Zhuang Meina. As the saying goes, ‘A good man doesn’t quarrel with women’. Tang Men also knew that he could not afford to touch Zhuang Meina in any way.

However, Xie Junyan’s arrival made things different. Tang Meng rubbed his chin and a victorious smile appeared on his face. He said coldly, “Young Master Xie, if I recall correctly, you still owe me five thousand dollars right? When are you planning to return it to me?”

After Tang Meng finished speaking, the surrounding students burst into laughter. Xie Junyan was already unhappy about losing the money, but this made him feel even worse. His face turned black immediately and he said in a low voice, “I was looking for you after school in the afternoon, but I couldn’t find you. I have honored my words and have already prepared the five thousand dollars. Take it!”

Xie Junyan put his hand into his pocket and fished out the thousand dollar notes that he had slipped inside earlier. Casually passing the money over to Tang Meng, he mocked, “Listen carefully. It’s only five thousand dollars. Was it worth all the effort? Someone was so tired that he even vomited blood.”

Ling Yun heard Xie Junyan’s sarcastic remarks, causing him to frown. He gave a cold and emotionless stare at Zhuang Meina and Xie Junyan.

Zhuang Meina smirked, “Of course. If not for this whole episode, how would these poor people even have gotten seven thousand dollars to buy a phone? Tang Meng, when did you become an errand boy?”

Zhuang Meina words worsened the situation. Tang Meng was already visibly upset, as a result, when Zhuang Meina likened him to a dog, he simply exploded.

“Zhuang Meina! I don’t like to argue with girls, but you better not push your luck! Look at that ugly, chicken face of yours! Do you really think you’re that pretty? You’re still so short even after wearing heels. Are you not ashamed of yourself? So what if I do errands for someone else? I do it willingly! Even if you beg me to run your errands, I’d think you’re too ugly!”

As the saying goes, ‘If you’re hitting someone, don’t hit his face. If you’re scolding someone, don’t insult her height.’

This time, Tang Meng had totally lost his cool. He directly insulted Zhuang Meina’s shortcomings in front of all the students, not sparing her pride at all. Indeed, Ning Lingyu stood at 1.75m while Zhuang Meina was only 1.65m tall. Hence, she wore heels almost everyday and everywhere, no matter what.

Zhuang Meina hated the word ‘short’. Yet, Tang Meng insulted her height in front of such a crowd. She could not tolerate it. This was worse than his insults on her looks.

Zhuang Meina was furious. Her body was shivering and her face was trembling with anger. She tilted her head towards Xie Junyan and barked, “Mr. Xie, are you a man? Tang Meng just bullied me! Are you not going to do anything about it?”

Ling Yun leaned on the railing near Ning Lingyu’s shoulder, tilting his head as he prepared for the drama.

When Zhuang Meina had insulted them just now, Ling Yun was not too happy with her sarcasm. I didn’t even do anything to you! I merely gave my sister a new phone. What’s your problem?

If Tang Meng did not stand up for them, Ling Yun would have retaliated too.

Xie Junfa tried his best to suppress his raging anger and emotions. He glanced at both Zhuang Meina and Tang Meng, then fixated his gaze on Tang Meng and said calmly, “Tang Meng, Zhuang Meina is my girlfriend after all. Don’t you think that the words you said are a little overboard?”

At this moment, Tang Meng lived up to his nickname, ‘The Little Tyrant’. He pointed at Xie Junfa and barked, “Xie Junfa, don’t act like a good student here. Even if the others don’t know you, do you really think I don’t know the real you? Are you deaf or blind? You heard what Zhuang Meina said to me. Is it not right for me to retaliate?”

Xie Junfa’s deliberate calm and cool face slowly disappeared. He squinted his eyes and threatened Tang Meng, “Tang Meng, did you eat the wrong medicine today? We’ve been in the same school for almost three years and have never crossed paths. Do you really want to embarrass yourself before graduation?”

Tang Meng was not afraid of threats.

He retracted his stern glance, then smiled and said, “Xie Junfa, based on what you said, are you threatening me? Are you trying to embarrass me? Let me tell you something. In the afternoon, I saw what you guys did to Ning Lingyu but I controlled myself. Now, Zhuang Meina wants to find trouble yet again. I won’t let that happen!”

That was the real reason behind Tang Meng’s anger.

Ling Yun’s face blackened when he heard from Tang Meng that both Xie Junfa and Zhuang Meina had insulted Ning Linyu. At the same time, he gave a nod to Tang Meng, approving his actions.

He gave a quick glance at Zhuang Meina and thought that she was actually quite pretty. Her facial features were prominent, she had fair skin, well-developed breasts, a slim waist, and wore branded accessories that fit her well. All these enhanced her beauty.

However, her lips were a little thin and the corners of her eyes were a little droopy. Her makeup was also too thick, which did not match her age and her identity as a student. In terms of looks, Zhuang Meina was slightly better than Zhang Ling but only edged out slightly due to her makeup and her dressing.

Ling Yun coincidentally saw the way Xie Junfa stared at Ning Lingyu. At this moment, Ling Yu immediately knew the reasons behind Zhuang Meina’s attitude. This included her being pampered and getting her way all the time, as well as her princess-like temperament.

However, the most important reason was that Zhuang Meina was actually jealous of his sister, Ning Lingyu!
