Chapter 17: Chapter 0017: The ... Miss

"Hehehe, Meng Meng sister, I might as well give you the rice my family can’t finish eating in the future."

Li Xiaoli reached her third-floor room and walked straight into the dressing room to change her clothes.

Following her inside, Liu Mengting saw her majestic headlights, then looked at her own, feeling truly envious and jealous.

"My family doesn’t lack rice, don’t bother sending it over."

Liu Mengting also started changing clothes, but compared with Li Xiaoli, her figure was a huge blow to her self-esteem.

"Looking at your home’s foodie, one person could eat enough for five, and since my family can’t finish our rice, we might as well save it for him, rather than waste food."

While talking, Li Xiaoli changed clothes, not wearing a bra, but since she was at the blooming age, her chest was lofty and perky, sparking wild thoughts.

What irritated Liu Mengting the most was that this Li sister had no awareness, always sighing, "I have chest massages three times a week, why can’t it get smaller?"

"I’m really going to lose it, my chest won’t get bigger, and yours won’t slim down, stop rubbing it in."

Liu Mengting flopped down on the bed.

"Hehehe, Meng Meng sister, yours aren’t small, why do you always want them bigger? Don’t you know it’s disgusting when it’s too big and the boys in class stare and drool?"

Li Xiaoli complained.

As the two girls chatted about girly topics, Tang Ming returned to his room to sleep, enjoying everything about the villa except the impossibility of cultivation. He thought about getting some Poison the next day to aid his Cultivation.

Without the abundance of Spiritual Energy in the mountains, he had to rely on poisonous substances to increase his strength!

Otherwise, wasting time every day without improving his own power was the same as standing still.

"Oh right, buying Poison requires money, I haven’t been paid yet, and when I left, the old man just gave me a high-speed rail pass, without a single valuable thing. What can I use to buy it?"

Tang Ming thought it over but couldn’t come up with any solutions.

"Ask Meng Ting for a loan?"

As soon as the idea emerged, Tang Ming shook his head; what kind of man borrows money from a woman!

Especially from his fiancée — if she found out one day that he was her betrothed, she’d surely look down on him. No, he couldn’t stand being disrespected by a woman.

Jerking upright from the bed, Tang Ming began wracking his brain, but even a hero could be stumped by a lack of cash. He was out of ideas.

"Hey, how could I forget where I live? This villa is worth a fortune. Just taking something from here and exchanging it for some Poison should be no issue."

With that thought, Tang Ming turned on the light and began searching the room.

There were plenty of valuable items indeed; the LCD TV alone was probably worth over ten thousand, and the Apple iMac was another prized possession.

But these items were either too big and inconvenient to carry or small trinkets that ordinary places wouldn’t accept.

As Tang Ming rummaged around, he finally laid eyes on a pig-shaped clay pot. Picking it up and giving it a shake, the clinking sound inside indicated it was full of coins.

"Haha, there really is always a way out."

Once Tang Ming opened the clay pot and poured its contents onto the bed, coins rained down. He counted each one and talked to the little pig-shaped pot:

"I’ll pay you back every penny once I get my salary."

With the coins in hand, he could now buy Poison and thus resume cultivation. Tang Ming slept soundly that night, with no sense of guilt for taking someone else’s belongings.

The next day, after breakfast, Tang Ming and Liu Mengting took the car to Tianjiao High School.

"Why aren’t you going in?"

They got off the car and saw students entering the school, but Liu Mengting stopped at the gate, prompting Tang Ming’s confusion.

"I was waiting for that girl, Li Xiaoli. The driver only took her home at midnight yesterday. I have no idea if she went straight to bed after getting home. If she went to sleep late, she’ll definitely be late for school this morning. If she doesn’t show up soon, I’m going to call her to hurry her up."

Liu Mengting looked around, but she didn’t see Li Xiaoli anywhere.

"Oh."

Tang Ming nodded, then stood by and waited as well.

Liu Mengting didn’t mind. Tang Ming was her bodyguard, commonly referred to as her attendant. It was normal for him to wait with her.

But with only ten minutes left until class, and still no sign of Li Xiaoli, Liu Mengting could only keep dialing her phone repeatedly.

"That damn girl, she turned off her phone. I can’t get through."

Seeing that class was about to start, Liu Mengting stomped her foot and said, "Just be late, then. We’ll see how the homeroom teacher deals with you."

Liu Mengting walked into the school with her bag, while Tang Ming followed behind. Suddenly, a student with his head down rushed in from the side in a hurry, accidentally bumping into Liu Mengting.

Just as Liu Mengting was about to lose her balance and fall to the ground, Tang Ming dashed forward in a few quick steps and caught her in his arms.

"I’m so sorry."

The student who bumped into her was startled, but seeing that nothing serious had happened, and considering the time before class, he quickly apologized.

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran off.

Tang Ming was angry and wanted to say, ’You hit someone and just run away?’ But Liu Mengting, who was in his arms, had already screamed out.

"Tang Ming, let go of me now."

Liu Mengting urged anxiously.

At that moment, Liu Mengting was hanging on to Tang Ming, not yet having stood up completely. If he let go now, she would surely fall to the ground.

Tang Ming replied helplessly, "My lady, you need to stand up first, then I can let go."

"Let go first, and then we’ll talk."

Liu Mengting had never before been so violated in her life, the key issue being Tang Ming’s hand was not positioned correctly. She was infuriated, her face flushing red as she shouted loudly.

"I told you, if I let go, you’ll fall to the ground. Stand up first."

Tang Ming applied force with his hand, trying to help Liu Mengting stand firmly.

But he quickly realized something was wrong. One of his hands seemed to be touching Liu Mengting’s rib area, but the other hand felt soft, as if he was grabbing something...

Tang Ming was suddenly horrified, and he stammered out in shock, "Big, big... "

Liu Mengting became even more furious, struggling fiercely. Not only had Tang Ming’s hand touched where it shouldn’t have, but now he even had the cheek to call her ’big.’ Could he be any more shameless?

But there were many students and teachers passing by on their way to class, and Liu Mengting didn’t want to make a scene right then. She could only curse, "Scum."

"My lady, I really didn’t do it on purpose."

Tang Ming finally managed to clarify.

"Hmph, you did it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengting got even angrier!

Scowling at Tang Ming, she walked ahead with a red face, not wanting to deal with Tang Ming behind her. Being touched by a bumpkin, she thought, would be a laughingstock if word got out.

It turned out that he was not saying ’big,’ but ’my lady’!
