I'm not a drama god

When Chen Ling called out his name directly, young Li Laide's brain went blank.

Oops……

Is this a hunter who has taken down a wanted poster and is willing to exchange his own head for the bounty?

But how could that be? Stealing this factory today was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision; how could the other party be waiting here beforehand? Could it be Bu Shendao? But he looks more like Dao Shendao…

Could it be that he has a divination sect behind him? Is he not fighting alone, but with a team?

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lee Ryder's mind, and his heart sank to the bottom...

He knew that he was most likely doomed this time.

He opened his mouth to say something, but a surge of thoughts rushed into his mind, and he felt everything go black before his eyes, and then he completely lost consciousness.

……

Early morning.

Li Shangfeng sat up in the bright morning light and lazily yawned.

"Sleeping on this concrete floor for too long is making my back hurt... And then... oh no! The light's still on! My electricity bill!!"

Li Shangfeng seemed to remember something, his sleepy eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the light above in horror. After finding that it seemed to have been turned off by a circuit breaker, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shangfeng first washed up, then left the factory and returned home to find the dining table already laden with breakfast: bread, milk, eggs, congee, fried dough sticks, and everything else imaginable…

Li Shangfeng raised an eyebrow, just about to praise his younger sister, when he saw a note placed on the table:

I'm going to school now. This is breakfast for Mr. Chen!

[Li Shangfeng is forbidden to consume!!]

Li Shangfeng: ...

Li Shangfeng's lips twitched. Pretending not to have seen it, he threw the note into the trash can, drank a bowl of white porridge, ate a fried dough stick, and then knocked on Chen Ling's door.

"Mr. Chen, breakfast is ready...would you like to get up and have some?"

he asked cautiously.

A moment later, the door was slowly opened.

Chen Ling, dressed in brown, stood at the door, smiling and nodding at him: "Thank you."

"Ahem, I didn't know what you liked to eat, Mr. Chen, so I prepared some bread and milk... Um, I'll go out for a bit first, please make yourself at home."

Li Shangfeng gave a brief greeting, then went back to the factory to get his things and left in a hurry.

Chen Ling stood behind the window, watching several illusory figures follow Li Shangfeng into the distance. He lightly raised the fingertips in his sleeve, and a red paper tentacle passed through the living room and came to the bedside in the room, dragging out Li Laide, who was sleeping like a dead dog.

At this time, Li Laid looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in a very respectable black vest, and with his slightly curly long hair and mixed-race features, he looked like a young nobleman who had stepped out of a storybook... However, the nobleman's face was now blackened and whitened by the fire last night, making him look very disheveled.

Chen Ling stood by the window, squinting down at him. With a thought, the red paper tentacles clinging to Li Leide slapped him hard across the face.

The boy was instantly jolted awake from his coma!

Li Lede reacted incredibly quickly. The moment he opened his eyes, he instinctively jumped up like a spring, but the next second, several red paper tentacles pressed heavily on his back, forcibly pinning him to Chen Ling like chains...

Finding himself unable to break free, Li Laide could only glare at Chen Ling, his deep blue eyes filled with defiance and stubbornness.

"What kind of look is that?" Chen Ling said calmly. "What... you're not convinced?"

"Who exactly are you? How do you know my name, and how did you know I would come here?" Li Laid said through gritted teeth. "You must have been watching me for a long time, right? How much do you know about me?"

"It's quite a coincidence... I didn't do anything, you just came to me."

"Heh, do you think I'd believe that?"

“Perhaps, fate is just that wondrous,” Chen Ling said slowly. “However, I do know quite a bit about you…”

Upon hearing this, Lee Ryder's expression changed, and he said coldly:

"Kill me if you want! I have no connections, no gang. Kill me and I'll collect the bounty, and that'll be the end of it... I was just outmatched, and I accept my loss!"

"……oh?"

Chen Ling narrowed her ruby-like eyes, staring sharply at Li Leide. "I haven't said anything yet... Why are you so nervous?"

"you!"

Li Laide clenched his teeth, unwilling to say another word to Chen Ling, and stubbornly turned his head to look aside.

"At this age, you're already close to the fifth level of the Divine Path... As expected of you." Chen Ling said unhurriedly, "If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't been long since you embarked on the Divine Path."

"What? You know me very well?"

"In a sense...yes."

Chen Ling certainly understood Li Lai De. He had dealt with him quite a bit back in the Boundless Realm... Moreover, he had even deduced Li Lai De's limit state in the Tower of Akash. Perhaps even Li Lai De himself did not understand him as well as Chen Ling did at this moment.

“…You’re insane.” Li Laide rolled his eyes. “What exactly do you want? Let me tell you first, I have no money to compensate you… Either you take my head and collect the bounty, or you let me go.”

"You can't go anywhere."

Chen Ling walked slowly to the dining table and sat down. She picked up a piece of bread, dipped a knife in butter, and slowly and evenly spread it on the surface, seemingly neither intending to kill Li Lai De nor let him leave.

Lee Ryder couldn't figure out what this guy was up to. He kept scanning his surroundings, trying to find a chance to escape, no matter how slim the chance was. He was never one to give up easily.

Li Laid's brain cells were being consumed at an alarming rate, and at the same time, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.

Li Laid: ...

Chen Ling glanced at him and remained silent for a moment.

He gently waved his hand, and all the red paper tentacles pressing against Li Lai De's body retracted. He said calmly:

"Come here, sit down and eat."

Li Lede was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Chen Ling to let him off so easily. His deep blue eyes rolled, and the next second, a whole array of kitchen utensils appeared out of thin air in front of him and were thrown at Chen Ling!

At the same time, he nimbly flipped over and leaped out of the window behind him!

Lee Ryder's heart was pounding in his chest. He ran for his life while listening intently to the sounds behind him. When he didn't hear a single kitchen utensil fall to the ground, he knew he was doomed...

Sure enough, after running for several dozen meters, he began to uncontrollably retreat, flipping back through the window in a bizarre manner, and returned to his original position along with the kitchen utensils that had been flying everywhere.

At the dining table,

Chen Ling calmly put down the perfectly spread bread, her gaze drifting towards him...

"come over……"

"Sit down and eat."
