Doomsday Code

Chapter 878 Heartburning

"Okay then, let's continue shopping after we finish eating."

The Snow Woman clapped her hands and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng's already pale face turned even paler.

At this moment, the Snow Maiden had no intention of listening to Chen Cheng's words. She skipped and hopped to find a place to sit down, and then waved to Chen Cheng and the other person.

The proprietress, who was greeting customers, saw that it was Chen Cheng and his companion who had come to dine the night before, and she came over to greet them warmly.

"Please serve your signature dishes, just like last night."

Just as the three were waiting for the food to be served, the Snow Woman, who had been scanning the surroundings, suddenly looked surprised, then nudged Chen Cheng beside her and said:

"Look, that woman is so pretty!"

Chen Cheng followed her gaze and saw a woman who seemed aloof and detached from worldly affairs walking gracefully towards him.

"Hey, don't you think that pretty lady is walking this way?"

Chen Cheng only glanced at the stunningly beautiful woman before smiling at the Snow Maiden beside him:

"Stop being so infatuated. Maybe they're just here to eat, or maybe they're just passing by."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman snorted and said:

"What do you mean by being infatuated? This woman is clearly very beautiful. Aren't you tempted?"

The Snow Woman chuckled and teased.

However, Chen Cheng glared at her and said:

"I never expected you to be such a vulgar woman. Why do you get attracted to every pretty girl I see? Do you think I'm a stud?"

Of course, it wasn't that Chen Cheng wasn't tempted; it was just that he had been reborn from the 21st century, a time of advanced internet technology. He had seen all sorts of beautiful women online—pure, mature, and all kinds of young ladies—that had long since made him only appreciate beauty.

That's because you get tired of seeing things so often.

Therefore, Chen Cheng could only admire the woman's stunning beauty in his heart, and then regard her as one of the beautiful sights he saw on his life's journey.

Just as Chen Cheng was reprimanding Xue Nu, Xue Nu's eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time, She Li beside her also suddenly narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Cheng turned around and saw that the stunningly beautiful woman from before had indeed walked up behind him.

However, Chen Cheng was not infatuated like Xue Nu at this moment. On the contrary, he was as wary as She Li, but he did not show it outwardly.

"May I ask if there's anything I can help you with, Miss?"

Chen Cheng calmly asked.

At this moment, the Snow Woman stood up and said:

"Pretty lady, you must be hungry. We happen to have a seat here, so please sit here."

When Chen Cheng saw Xue Nu's infatuated expression, he slapped his forehead and then forcibly pressed her down to sit.

"Please forgive me, Miss, my sister is a bit impulsive."

Then Chen Cheng continued:

"If you wish to have a meal, we can offer you our seat and move to another table."

Then Chen Cheng gestured to Sheli and Xue Nu, and prepared to change tables.

Chen Cheng's words were not merely humble; it was also because he hadn't noticed the woman approaching at all.

He's carrying a lot of burdens right now, and who knows what such a powerful woman is here for? So, Chen Cheng doesn't mind giving in on such a small matter.

And then the stunningly beautiful woman spoke for the first time.

"Can I come with you?"

The woman's voice was like a secluded orchid in a valley; hearing her voice somehow soothed all the worries and troubles in one's heart.

At this moment, the Snow Woman clapped her hands excitedly and said:

"Of course, please have a seat, sister."

The snow woman kindly moved the chair away for the woman.

At this moment, the woman looked at Chen Cheng, waiting for his reply.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cheng also bowed and said:

"Then I hope you won't find us uncouth, Miss."

After the woman sat down, the Snow Woman looked at her and began to ask her questions.

"Hello, big sister, my name is Xue'er, what's your name?"

The woman looked at the snow woman and gave her a friendly smile:

"My name is Zhixin."

Upon hearing Zhixin's name, Xue Nu repeated it several times before speaking:

"How strange, sister, your name is exactly the same as the name of one of my benefactors."

"Maybe this is fate."

Zhi Xin said with a smile.

The Snow Woman smiled and said:

"Sister is right, this may be our destiny."

Then Zhixin asked:

"Judging from your attire, you don't seem to be from my Northern Territory. May I ask which kingdom in the interior you are from?"

Chen Cheng and his companions were dressed in clothes they had brought from the mainland, so naturally their style of dress was very different from that of the Northern Territory.

Chen Cheng laughed upon hearing this:

"We are merchants from the Chaotic Desert Kingdom who sell monster pelts. We have come to the Northern Territory to open up a new source of goods."

Chen Cheng then continued:

"I am not very talented, but I have also practiced some skills. However, I can sense that Miss's aura is as vast as an abyss. I do not know what Miss's identity is."

Chen Cheng was simply saying that he didn't want to sit at the same table with someone who might have a grudge against him, because he might feel disgusted afterward.

Zhi Xin, however, did not expect that she had already tried her best to conceal her aura. Even if they were both legendary level, as long as she did not make a move, the other party would not be able to see through her.

But this young emperor saw right through him at a glance.

Zhi Xin had no idea that Chen Cheng had already completed a sequence of ascension to godhood. Although he didn't know what divine position he had obtained in the end, his divine realm was already taking shape.

Below the realm of gods, if one's level has not reached or surpassed his, then one should not even think about hiding anything.

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's question, Zhi Xin immediately smiled and said:

"I am the Lord of Piaoxue. Yesterday, my sister Feixin came to look for you, but the timing was not right. She was delayed by something important, so she was unable to meet you today."

I have come here to apologize to you on behalf of my sister.

As soon as Zhi Xin finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table instantly became much more tense.

The Snow Maiden, who had been infatuated with the girl just moments before, quieted down, because she hadn't forgotten how Chen Cheng had been tricked at the Snow Pavilion that morning.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the proprietress came over with the dishes.

Upon seeing the extra Zhixin, the proprietress praised it, saying:

"This young lady is so beautiful. Could she be the madam? The gentleman and madam are truly a match made in heaven."

The proprietress was so flattered because of Chen Cheng's generous tip last night, that she assumed he and Zhi Xin were a couple when she saw them exchanging glances.

Upon hearing the proprietress's words, Zhi Xin offered no explanation. Instead, Chen Cheng blushed and said:

"Please don't misunderstand, ma'am. This young lady is only temporarily sitting at our table. Please don't tarnish her reputation."

The proprietress hadn't expected her flattery to backfire, and she gave an embarrassed, awkward smile.

Chen Cheng knew that the proprietress was simply unaware of the situation, so he smiled and said:

"Boss lady, a customer has arrived. You can go and do your work."

The proprietress listened to Chen Cheng's words as if they were heavenly music, said sorry, and then left.
