"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick? If you are, then let’s postpone our meal for another time"

At the dinner table, Yang Lu looked at Ling Yue, who seemed absent-minded, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Why does she seem a bit out of it since she came in just now? Could she be feeling sick? If so, then there's no need to eat this meal. After hearing Yang Lu's words, Ling Yue hurriedly said,

"No...it's nothing. I just have something on my mind. Let's eat."

"That's good."

It's no wonder that Ling Yue is like this. It's mainly due to the shock caused by the video her subordinate sent her just now.

Pluto, Underworld King… Athena, the God of Death… these internationally renowned existences were all taken care of by Yang Lu with a slap.

Is this guy still human? He said that he saved Huaxia earlier, and she didn't believe it. But now, it seems that he not only saved Huaxia but also saved the entire world!

Afterward, Ling Yue sent a message to her subordinate, canceling her plan! Her original idea was to find out from Yang Lu's mouth who killed her father, no matter what it takes, even if it means using force.

But after watching Yang Lu's video, she immediately gave up on this idea. It seems that if she wants to get the information she wants from Yang Lu, she will have to find another way.

After hearing Ling Yue's words, Yang Lu rolled his eyes.

[Something on mind? I feel like this woman is lying to me. After all, with such a handsome guy in front of her, what could she possibly be thinking about?]

"Cough cough..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just choked on water."

After hearing Yang Lu's inner thoughts, Ling Yue coughed again. This guy is really not your ordinary narcissist.

[Choked on water? You didn't even drink any water!]

[It seems that she's really been captivated by my charm. Oh, the damn charm that I can't seem to get rid of.]

"Cough cough cough..."

Ling Yue coughed violently again, and if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't beat this guy, she would have definitely resorted to violent means. But then Ling Yue thought of something and burst into tears.

"Sob sob sob..."

Tears streamed down her face, and if those underground forces in Dragon City saw her like this, they probably wouldn't even recognize her as the ruthless Ling Yue.

When Yang Lu saw Ling Yue suddenly crying, he was startled and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why are you crying?"

[Eldest sister, why are you crying now when you were just laughing earlier? Aren't you just messing with my head? Can't you see how everyone around us is looking at me with strange eyes?]

[You're

making it seem like I did something to you, but I didn't do anything! Don't cry anymore!]

Ling Yue, who was originally crying, felt a sudden surge of happiness after hearing Yang Lu's heartfelt words. She suddenly realized that this guy was actually quite interesting, and then she said,

"I suddenly remembered my father. We used to eat here all the time, and he was always so good to me from when I was young until I grew up.

"Can you believe that he was killed by Wang Laosan? I'm so angry that Wang Laosan died too easily, I'm not satisfied!"

After finishing her words, Ling Yue continued to cry while telling stories about her childhood with her father. It must be said that Ling Yue was deserving of an Oscar for her acting skills.

[Oh, it's because she was thinking about her father, no wonder.]

[She's actually been through a lot to get to where she is today. Wang Laosan was just a puppet, whether he lives or dies is not important, what's important is Lei Ming. He's the real culprit who killed your father!]

Yang Lu was hesitating whether or not to tell Ling Yue the truth, but ultimately decided against it. After all, with Ling Yue's current strength, going after Lei Ming would be a death wish.

Plus, if she were to ask how he knew so much, he wouldn't be able to explain it well.

‘So it was Lei Ming!’

Ling Yue, who was crying just a second ago, immediately stopped and looked ferocious. She had been wondering who the mastermind behind it all was, and never thought it would be Lei Ming of the Lei family, one of the top five families in Dragon City.

She couldn't believe that her father had something to do with the Lei family. Facing the sudden change in Ling Yue's expression, Yang Lu was startled. This woman's transformation is really too drastic, isn’t it?

"Yang Lu, I have something else to do, let's have dinner next time! Goodbye."

After leaving these words, Ling Yue left directly, leaving behind a bewildered Yang Lu.

This… she just left like that? And what's with her sudden change of expression?

Then Yang Lu thought of a possibility and muttered to himself,

"My heartfelt voice won’t be overheard, right?"

Yang Lu suddenly felt that Ling Yue's reaction was a bit abnormal, especially since it was after he mentioned the person who killed her father. At that moment, he thought of many things.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. You have been awarded 1000 points and a chance to draw a prize. Would you like to draw now?]

Just as Yang Lu was thinking about this, the system's voice suddenly sounded, instantly diverting his attention.
