War God Returns

First, the destruction of the Zhou, Sun, and Lee families had caused a huge change in the structure of the local nobles. Then, there was the burial of Zhao Hsingyang. Shen Diaoloong, the most powerful person in the country, had come to Hai City.    

    

For half a month, Hai City was in an unprecedented state of excitement and shock.    

    

Of course, after the storm, there would eventually be a peaceful day.    

    

After dealing with the matters of Mu family and Zhao Hsingyang, Shen Ze could finally live a leisurely life.    

    

This morning, the weather was clear and the sun was bright.    

    

Shen Ze accompanied Mu Ling to the city center to shop. The two of them ate and drank along the way, buying and buying all kinds of things.    

    

They went shopping until noon. Under Mu Ling's suggestion, the two of them went to the commercial street. There was a western restaurant on the top floor of a shopping mall for lunch.    

    

Shen Ze and Mu Ling chose a table near the French window and sat down. Then, the two of them ordered a steak and a bottle of red wine respectively.    

    

The steak wouldn't be ready for a while. So the waiter served Shen Ze and the others two cups of plain tea.    

    

Since it was the weekend and the restaurant was quite famous, there were a lot of customers in the restaurant and it was very lively.    

    

Shen Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip. After moisturizing his throat, he looked at Mu Ling sitting opposite him with a smile in his eyes and said in a teasing tone, "Ling, it's quite stressful to eat with you."    

    

Mu Ling heard him. He looked at Shen Ze, puzzled. "Mr Ze, why do you say that?"    

    

Shen Ze looked around the restaurant, then he smiled and said to Mu Ling, "Ever since we entered this restaurant, you have attracted the eyes of many wolves."    

    

"And because of this, I also received many gazes full of jealousy and hostility."    

    

Mu Ling was wearing an ice-blue dress today, and a pair of crystal high heels on her feet.    

    

Her slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders and she was dressed up like a princess from a fairy tale. She was very beautiful and moving.    

    

Mu Ling was an out-and-out beauty to begin with. She was tall and had a pretty face. In addition to her outfit today, it was impossible for her not to attract the attention of men.    

    

Ever since Shen Ze and Mu Ling entered this western restaurant, many men in the restaurant looked at Mu Ling.    

    

Shen Ze could sense it, and Mu Ling, who was the man who looked at her, could also sense it.    

    

Mu Ling blushed in embarrassment when she heard Shen Ze's answer. She said helplessly, "Mr Ze, I don't want to be stared at by those men. But I can't control their eyes."    

    

Shen Ze smiled and waved his hand when he saw Mu Ling's awkward expression. "I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously."    

    

"But one thing is true. A man like you wants to see you. You are indeed pretty and beautiful."    

    

Mu Ling revealed a sweet smile when she heard Shen Ze's words.    

    

She was very happy to hear Shen Ze say that she was pretty and beautiful.    

    

After chatting happily for a while, the waiter served the steak.    

    

After that, Shen Ze and Mu Ling started to eat.    

    

Shen Ze never spoke a word during meals, so when they started to eat, he and Mu Ling did not speak again.    

    

While they were eating quietly, in a big booth three tables away.    

    

A young man wearing a red suit and holding a tall glass was sitting on the sofa. He looked like he was hunting. He was staring at Mu Ling with a very invasive gaze.    

    

The young man in the red suit had a playful smile on his face. He turned the goblet in his hand and seemed to be thinking about something.    

    

He sat beside the young man in the red suit. A shifty-eyed white shirt young man said with a chuckle, "Young Master Liu, do you like this girl?"    

    

After asking, the young man in a white shirt named Deng Kun said with a flattering smile, "Young Master Liu, if you really like this girl, I can hook up with her and let her play with you tonight."    

    

The young man in the red suit, whose real name was Liu Peng, heard the words of the young man in the white shirt. The playful smile on his face became much stronger.    

    

Liu Peng raised his wine glass and took a sip. Then, he said in a cold tone, "Other people have a flower guardian by their side. If I want to play with others, I'm afraid it won't be easy."    

    

"Young Master Liu, this kid is not a dog fart flower guardian."    

    

Deng Kun glanced at Shen Ze with disdain and said in a disdainful tone, "At first glance, this kid is just a gigolo. Apart from his good looks, he has nothing else."    

    

After scolding Shen Ze, Deng Kun said, "Young Master Liu, why don't I bring two people over and get rid of this annoying kid first?"    

    

Liu Peng shook his head and denied, "I am a reasonable person, not a rude and unreasonable person. Don't do such things."    

    

Liu Peng raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ling carefully. The corner of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile, "It is not good to scare a little beauty."    

    

Deng Kun had a flattering look on his face. He nodded and agreed. "Young Master Liu is right. Young Master Liu has thought everything through!"    

    

Liu Peng smiled faintly and ordered, "Deng Kun, go find a waiter and ask him to bring a glass of wine to the beauty."    

    

"Alright, Young Master Liu."    

    

Deng Kun nodded, then he got up and went to find the waiter.    

    

Deng Kun followed Liu Peng's instructions and called a waiter to bring wine to Mu Ling.    

    

Shen Ze and Mu Ling were enjoying their meal when a waiter brought a glass of red wine to Mu Ling.    

    

"Miss, a gentleman wants to treat you to a drink."    

    

"A gentleman wants to treat me to a drink?"    

    

Mu Ling heard and looked up at the waiter in surprise.    

    

Shen Ze acted as if he did not hear anything and continued to eat his steak.    

    

"Miss, it's the gentleman in the red suit. He's treating you to a drink."    

    

The waiter pointed at Liu Peng, who was sitting not far away.    

    

Mu Ling followed the waiter's finger and looked at Liu Peng, who was sitting on the sofa.    

    

Liu Peng kept looking at Mu Ling's side. When Mu Ling looked over, their gazes immediately intertwined.    

    

Liu Peng revealed a bright smile to Mu Ling. He raised the wine cup in his hand and made a toast to Mu Ling.    

    

Seeing this scene, Mu Ling felt a trace of disgust in her heart.    

    

Clearly, Mu Ling did not like this kind of frivolous playboy Liu Peng at all.    

    

Mu Ling quickly withdrew her gaze from Liu Peng and said to the waiter, "I do not want to drink this wine. Send it back to that person."    

    

When the waiter heard this, his face revealed a trace of embarrassment. He tried to persuade her, "Miss, that mister is sincere. Take this cup of wine!"    

    

Mu Ling did not even think about it and directly rejected, "He has the right to treat me to a drink. I naturally have the right to refuse to drink as well. This cup of wine, I do not know how to drink!"    

    

"This..."    

    

Hearing Mu Ling say it so decisively and firmly, her tone was firm. The waiter did not know what to say to persuade Mu Ling to accept the glass of wine.    

    

After that, Mu Ling did not bother with the waiter anymore. Instead, she lowered her head and continued to eat the steak.    

    

The waiter looked awkward and was stunned.
