The commotion caused by Chen Ling’s coughing immediately caught the attention of people around, who turned their heads to look at him.

“Cough…” After a while, he finally recovered from the fit of coughing.

Then he glanced at Sui Li’er, who had been sprayed in the face by him.

Upon seeing him looking her way, Sui Li’er spoke with a hint of grievance, “Chen Ling… Are you… okay?”

Chen Ling helplessly replied, “I almost choked to death because of you.”

“Oh… I’m sorry…” Sui Li’er said with a touch of self-pity. She couldn’t help but wonder in her mind, ‘What’s wrong with me?’

Chen Ling coughed a few more times and then had a thought. He used the system to help clean the dirt off her face.

In the next second, Sui Li’er felt her face clean and refreshed, as if all the soup she had been sprayed with had disappeared. She was somewhat surprised and reached out to touch her face.

“Wow… What did you do?” She had already forgotten about the little incident just now.

Chen Ling replied, “Should I spray you again?”

“No, thanks!” Sui Li’er exclaimed, quickly covering her face.

Chen Ling chuckled at her reaction and shook his head, “Sigh…”

“Huh? Why are you sighing while you’re clearly laughing?” Sui Li’er didn’t quite understand.

Chen Ling said, “You’re really like an old lady getting into bed.”

“Huh? What?”

Chen Ling continued, “You’re amusing!”

Sui Li’er realized what Chen Ling meant and burst into happy laughter.

“Alright, laugh just like that! Show your big toothy grin and eat.”

“Hmm~” Sui Li’er stuck out her tongue but couldn’t help the upward curve of her lips. She was so happy.

The Lord God is really interesting!

As she was about to lower her head to eat, she suddenly remembered that all these things had been sprayed by Chen Ling just now… even though he somehow cleaned them up and removed all traces.

But does cleaning them up mean it’s as if nothing happened?

Chen Ling seemed to have noticed and casually said, “I cleaned it all up, not a drop left. If you mind, I can order another serving.”

With the help of the system, even bacteria can be completely removed, very hygienic.

“No, no need!” Sui Li’er felt embarrassed to let Chen Ling spend more money. It was already expensive enough.

Chen Ling said he had cleaned it all up… not a drop left. The Lord God wouldn’t lie!

Afterwards, Sui Li’er blushed and gently bit into a piece of meat, slowly chewing it.

Seeing her face slightly flushed, Chen Ling thought the temperature control had malfunctioned.

“Are you feeling hot?”

“Huh?”

“Your face looks quite red.”

“It’s nothing…” Her face turned even redder.

“I…”

Just then, there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance.

“Wow! It’s a high-level Grand Mage! Shen Yuming!”

“Why is a high-level Grand Mage here?”

A high-level Grand Mage belonged to the third tier of the world’s power system. They were ranked below the Curse Masters and Forbidden Curse Masters. The hierarchy in this world is as follows:

Twelve Star Leaders (Twelve Forbidden Curse Masters).

Curse Masters.

High-level, Mid-level, and Low-level Grand Mages.

Followed by High-level, Mid-level, and Low-level Intermediate Mages,

And then High-level, Mid-level, and Low-level Mage Apprentices.

60% of the people in the world were Mage Apprentices for their entire lives. Curse Masters made up less than 1%. And there were only 12 Forbidden Curse Masters.

A high-level Grand Mage was already a focal point wherever they went because they possessed formidable strength.

Upon hearing that a high-level Grand Mage had arrived, all the waitstaff in the restaurant immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed outside to greet them. They all shouted in unison as if they had seen their own father:

“Welcome, high-level Grand Mage, Mr. Shen!”

This was the rule in this world. Wherever powerful individuals went, they enjoyed the privilege of being served first.

“Mr. Shen, please come in! Wait a moment, I will inform our boss and personally serve you.”

“No need.” Shen Yuming’s voice was deep and sounded like he was not young. “I’ll just sit here for a while, no need for any fuss.”

“Alright! Whatever you say!” Saying that, the waitstaff lined up in a row.

“Mr. Shen, please come in!”

Shen Yuming walked in slowly, his face expressionless.

“Grand Mage, please have a seat over here.” He was alone, yet the waitstaff arranged him to sit exactly behind Chen Ling at a table for four. It was positioned closer to the corner, as if they were afraid of disturbing him.

Curiosity got the better of Sui Li’er, and she looked up for a moment.

Shen Yuming, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his prime, and being a high-level Grand Mage, he should be in his prime. But his face seemed somewhat tired. His expression was even a bit vacant as he walked towards the table for four.

Suddenly, as he passed by Chen Ling’s table, he looked in their direction. Upon seeing Chen Ling, he furrowed his brows. “You are…”

“Huh?” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling in confusion. What happened? Could it be an acquaintance of the Lord God?

But Shen Yuming had sensed Chen Ling’s powerful aura, that’s all.

Chen Ling’s energy was incredibly strong, and it was actually tiring to contain it, so he usually didn’t suppress it completely. The powerful energy permeated the surroundings. Anyone with a bit of strength could sense it.

However, once Chen Ling realized it, he instantly concealed all of his presence. He didn’t want any trouble. Initially, he just wanted to lie low for five years.

Now, it had become lying low for five years together with Sui Li’er, preferably without any incidents!

Shen Yuming was taken aback for a moment, trying to sense something once again. But this time, he couldn’t sense anything at all.

Chen Ling didn’t even lift his head and continued eating.

Shen Yuming showed considerable composure and said, “I’m sorry for the disturbance.” He didn’t seem to put on airs.

Normally, when high-level Grand Mages go out, they are accompanied by a team. But he was alone.

He walked towards the seat behind Chen Ling and sat in a position facing the same direction as Chen Ling,

And cast a deep gaze towards Chen Ling’s back. What was that presence from earlier? He could sense that the energy was compressed to the extreme, like a bomb about to explode, as if it would detonate the next second.

How terrifying! Is this guy a Forbidden Curse Master?

Just an illusion, right? This young man doesn’t seem to be of a very old age, He shouldn’t possess such power. Ah… I must be mistaken.

Shen Yuming sighed and fell into a daze after sitting down. Any perceptive person could tell that he was feeling quite down, but no one dared to ask why.

The waitstaff did nothing but stand next to Shen Yuming. Guarding him as if he were some precious treasure.

The restaurant, which had been filled with laughter and chatter, fell silent upon his arrival, with everyone afraid of disturbing him. People’s eyes involuntarily turned toward him, but no one dared to whisper even a word.

“A Grand Mage… so formidable,” sighed Sui Li’er.

Chen Ling didn’t respond, keeping his head down and focusing on his food.

Sui Li’er suddenly looked at Chen Ling curiously and asked, “Chen Ling… as the Lord God, are you even more powerful than a Forbidden Curse Master?”

Chen Ling nodded slightly without saying a word.

“As expected of the Lord God!”

“After all, even Forbidden Curse Masters can’t see me!”

“Only you can.” Sui Li’er was extremely happy. Chen Ling’s presence made her feel that the world suddenly became more beautiful.

Although people in the world couldn’t see her, the Lord God could. And she had been friends with the Lord God since childhood.

The Lord God had even treated her to lollipops! And today, he treated her to a meal!

And they even shared a drink together.

Oh, right, she had also been embraced by the Lord God!

Suddenly, she felt her mood becoming beautiful.

She had thought she was abandoned by god.

But she didn’t expect to be the only one favored by the Lord God. It made her very happy.

“Oh, by the way, Chen Ling, I still want to have your lollipop.”

Chen Ling was momentarily stunned and couldn’t help but look at her innocent little face. “What?”
