C11 Zheng li's past
The three of them did not drive back to the Phantom Shadow Club. Ding Long had many businesses in the Coastal City, and most of them focused on entertainment and food. The Cloud Dragon Food City was one of them.
Ding Long walked at the front and Zhou Heng stood by his side. Xiang Yunhai followed behind the two of them and the three of them entered the Cloud Dragon's Gourmet City. When the guards and waiters saw the three of them arrive, they immediately bowed and greeted them. At the same time, they were wondering: [who is this brat that dares to walk alongside the Dragon King?] At that moment, the manager of the Gourmet City ran all the way over. Xiang Yunhai called ahead of time, the manager brought the three of them to the private box that was already prepared.
In the private room, the dishes had already been served and the wine had been poured. A row of well-dressed women stood inside, quietly waiting for the three people to arrive.
Zhou Heng was the first person to enter the private box. Before he could sit down, his hands were held by someone else. These girls who looked to be around Zhou Heng's age emitted the scent of mature hormones that Zhou Heng did not have. They deliberately rubbed their soft breasts against Zhou Heng's arm, and jokingly asked him: "Boss, how should I address you?"
Zhou Heng froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ding Long and Xiang Yunhai who were behind him.
Ding Long smiled at him, then wrapped his arm around a woman's waist and sat down in his seat. He said unrestrainedly, "Brother Zhou, don't be courteous, eat whatever you want!" The meaning behind his words was extremely clear.
Zhou Heng nodded, then pulled his arm out of the woman's bosom and sat down beside Ding Long. He picked up the chopsticks on the table, and started picking up the dishes on the plate.
Zheng Li stood behind him, pinched Zhou Heng's shoulder and asked: "Are you really not that lustful?" Zhou Heng ignored her. At his age, Zhou Heng would blush just by being kissed by the wandering soul Shen Xinyi, how could he not be tempted by the opposite sex? It was just that the women who approached him reminded him of the Zheng Li who had flirted with him not long ago.
Come to think of it, was Zheng Li's way of doing things very similar to these women? Was Zheng Li also a drinker in the past?
Ding Long obviously did not expect such a reaction from Zhou Heng. He was stunned for a moment, and then, he looked at Xiang Yunhai who was still standing. Xiang Yunhai nodded.
Xiang Yunhai immediately sat down beside Zhou Heng, and he and Ding Long placed Zhou Heng between them.
"Brother Zhou." Xiang Yunhai patted Zhou Heng's shoulder, then placed a bank card on the table and pushed it towards Zhou Heng, "This is a small token. The meaning behind his words was, "If you still want to taste something even more sweet, then continue to treat our young master's illness."
As Zhou Heng had just arrived in Coastal City, he was short on money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the Ghost Hut where the rent was cheap. He took the bank card that Xiang Yunhai handed over to him, then looked at Ding Long. "Can Boss Ding tell me the story of Zheng Li now?"
He had just gotten some merit from the Dream Eating Beast. If he were to complete Zheng Li's mission, he would only have 10 contribution points left before becoming a D-Ranked Master.
A higher level Heavenly Jewel Master meant that he could gain more authority from the Heavenly Jewel Master System, and a much larger world would appear before his eyes.
"This Zheng Li …" Ding Long tapped his fingers on the table, as though he was thinking of where to start.
Zheng Li, who was behind Zhou Heng, looked at Ding Long's face and recalled everything from the moment she saw this man. Only now did she finally remember everything.
It was just as Zhou Heng had guessed, Zheng Li was indeed a woman who accompanied others to drink. However, unlike normal women, Zheng Li possessed an intellectual charm that others did not. She was good at listening, and she always hit the nail on the head with what the guests kept hidden in their hearts. The first time Ding Long had met her, Zheng Li was sitting in his embrace. She lightly pressed the tip of Ding Long's nose and smiled at him. No one had ever dared to speak to Dragon King by the sea before. At that moment, Ding Long suddenly felt that he had fallen in love with this smart woman. Under Zheng Li's care, Ding Long spent a period of time that was extremely beautiful, until he met Ding Ling. Zheng Li had already guessed that Ding Long was someone with a family, but she did not know that Ding Long had such a big daughter. She noticed that Ding Ling, who seemed to be unreasonable, was actually a pitiful person without a father's love. As a result, she started to distance herself from Ding Long and interact with him. The Dragon King who was beside the ocean would obviously not take the initiative to tangle too much with a girl who accompanied him. Since Zheng Li had distanced herself from him, the relationship between the two of them had become more and more indifferent. What happened afterwards, even Ding Long and Ding Ling did not know.
Xiang Yunhai found her, and asked Zheng Li a little about Ding Long. Zheng Li laughed coldly as she mocked him. "A lowly dog", yet he had ambitions that did not match his own abilities. The furious Xiang Yunhai grabbed the vase beside him and threw it at the back of his head …
"Please speak, Boss Ding." Zhou Heng said, his expression was full of anticipation. At this time, Zheng Li, who was behind him, suddenly floated up, turned into a ball of black mist, and disappeared from the room.
Zhou Heng turned to look outside. Why did she run out the door? Was he nervous because he had to hear his own past?
"Zheng Li is my employee in the Phantom Shadow Entertainment Club." Ding Long finally started to tell Zhou Heng that story, but Zhou Heng stood up, he had to find Zheng Li and bring him back.
"I need to go to the toilet!" Zhou Heng casually found a crappy reason and left the dining table, leaving Ding Long and Xiang Yunhai looking at each other in dismay.
The moment Zhou Heng arrived outside the private box, he saw Zheng Li who was leaning against the wall.
Zheng Li saw that Zhou Heng had come out, and floated towards the side of the corridor.
"Ding Long is about to talk about your past." Zhou Heng said to her from behind him.
After walking a distance away from the private box, Zheng Li stopped and asked Zhou Heng: "Do you think he will speak the truth?"
Zhou Heng was stunned, it was true, he was unable to judge whether Ding Long was telling him the truth, even if he was doing Ding Long a favor, Ding Long might not necessarily be a good person who would repay favors.
"There will always be a clue." Zhou Heng said. That's right, even if it was a lie, it would still leave a trail for further investigation.
"A fellow as cautious as him, she must have prepared a long speech in her stomach right now," Zheng Li floated in front of Zhou Heng and stroked Zhou Heng's lower jaw with her fingers.
"Why do you know him so well?" Zhou Heng's expression was extremely shocked, then he thought of something, "Could it be that you remember everything?"
Zheng Li nodded.
In that case, the mission should have been completed, right? Zhou Heng thought.
"Want to hear my story?" Zheng Li smiled and asked him.
Zhou Heng shook his head. The ghost story would only bring more trouble to his life, and if it wasn't for the quest, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to explore it.
"You're a smart guy." Zheng Li flew behind Zhou Heng and ruffled his hair, "Do you know, women like smart men."
Zhou Heng laughed awkwardly.
Zheng Li began to recomb his hair. "But if a person is too smart, it won't make anyone like him." Her tone was somewhat sorrowful.
"Take good care of yourself after I leave." She suddenly buried her head into the back of Zhou Heng's neck and sobbed.
"Enough, enough," Zhou Heng said. "Stop pretending, go reincarnate quickly."
Zheng Li raised her head, revealing a smile, she lightly patted the back of Zhou Heng's head: "You're not willing to cooperate with me just once?"
After saying that, a faint golden light appeared around her body as she slowly floated upwards.
Zhou Heng turned around and looked up at her.
"You have nothing to say to me in the end?" Zheng Li smiled and asked him.
"Do you want me to avenge you?" Zhou Heng said, "You didn't die naturally, right?"
Zheng Li lowered her body. Zhou Heng was afraid of what would happen to Shen Xinyi again, and wanted to dodge. However, Zheng Li pinched Zhou Heng's nose: "You think you're smart, brat."
"If you want to help me," Zheng Li suddenly said, "help me take good care of Ding Ling."
With that, without waiting for Zhou Heng to reject her, this woman's figure disappeared into the corridor outside the private room forever.
"Ding ~"
