The scene was incredibly awkward in an instant.

Chen Ling didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Quickly say that you like her!”

Lin Moyu, who was watching the dimensional mirror in the Main God Realm, suddenly shouted loudly, startling her nearby colleague.

“What’s wrong, Moyu?”

“Uh… It’s nothing… Sorry.” Lin Moyu apologized and looked back at the screen. If Chen Ling dares to have a romance in a small realm, he’s done for!

Those who engage in such behavior severely will be expelled from school. This is what she wanted.

However, Chen Ling didn’t say anything.

“Oh no…”

“I, I… I didn’t mean that.” Sui Li’er blushed and quickly covered her face. (>_<)

…Oh no… Will he think I’m particularly narcissistic? I’m not! I misspoke…

Chen Ling looked at Sui Li’er in front of him, seeming lost in thought.

“Gurgle, gurgle~” Sui Li’er’s stomach suddenly growled.

“Uh…” She covered her face, slowly lowered her head, resting it on her knees. At this moment, she really wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

However, Chen Ling didn’t mind and happened to overlook her previous question: “What do you want to eat?”

“I… I’m not hungry…” Chen Ling had already bought her food before, but she accidentally lost it. She couldn’t bring herself to let Chen Ling come all the way here, and spend money on her.

Money was too precious to her. Besides stealing, she had no other means of acquiring it. Every time she couldn’t bear it and went to someone else’s shop to mooch food and drinks, she was filled with a strong sense of guilt.

However…

“Gurgle~” Her stomach successfully betrayed her.

Chen Ling smiled: “Come on, tell me what you want to eat, I’ll treat you.”

“Um…” Sui Li’er raised her head with some embarrassment, her hand still covering her entire face, revealing only her beautiful eyes. In a soft voice, she said: “It’s okay… I can endure a little longer…”

Seeing this, Chen Ling pursed his lips: “Don’t be silly, just tell me what you want to eat.”

“Um…” Sui Li’er shrank her neck in fear: “Anything… anything is fine.”

Inner thoughts: So fierce…

Seeing that she seemed a bit scared, Chen Ling couldn’t help but scratch his head, am I really that fierce? I don’t think so…

He slightly softened his tone and said: “Cough… What do you like to eat?”

“Um… anything is fine… I like everything~ Bread? Instant noodles? Oh, I got it…”

“Shaobing… the ones with meat inside are really good!” Sui Li’er said, and her stomach growled again. It seemed like she couldn’t wait. “But… the ones with meat inside seem to be expensive.”

“Shaobing?” Chen Ling paused for a moment and understood. He had seen Sui Li’er’s memories before, this person would only look for something to eat when she was extremely hungry, and she would eat cheap food.

When you’re hungry, everything tastes delicious.

He then started looking through the system’s food inventory. Various delicacies from different dimensions were listed. The prices were transparent, and the inter-dimensional delivery fees were clearly displayed.

However, they used the universal currency of the larger dimension. Chen Ling couldn’t use the infinitely small dimension currency. But it was quite cheap, and Chen Ling had some money for that.

While he was making his selection, Sui Li’er stared at him absentmindedly again.

Inner thoughts: Chen Ling has grown up and looks so good. If only I could look this good…

“Forget it…” Chen Ling suddenly shook his head and looked at Sui Li’er. He felt that ordering something from a different dimension didn’t make sense.

“Come with me.” He stood up and dusted off his clothes.

“Oh…” Sui Li’er quickly stood up from the ground as well. Chen Ling walked ahead while she followed beside him.

“Where are we going?”

Chen Ling turned his head and smiled gently: “It’s a secret.”

Seeing him smile, Sui Li’er instantly forgot about Chen Ling’s fierce appearance earlier.

She smiled knowingly: “You… look really handsome when you smile!”

Chen Ling’s face instantly fell.

“Huh?” Sui Li’er was scared and quickly closed her mouth. She was very puzzled, wondering what happened… Can’t even compliment someone…

She thought it was fine to give compliments, no problem at all.

Chen Ling glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and gently smiled in his heart: Scared you…

“Are you angry?” Sui Li’er asked softly.

Chen Ling stifled his laughter and didn’t say anything.

Sui Li’er gritted her teeth: “Well… well, you look ugly when you smile?”

Chen Ling: ???

“Oh… I… sigh…”

“I’m not angry.”

Sui Li’er softly responded with a “oh.”

Then she didn’t say anything else, walking beside him, shoulder to shoulder.

As they walked, more people appeared. The street was bustling with activity. Many people were sent here to conduct repairs after the city suffered significant damage. Many buildings had collapsed, and the ground had cracked.

Sui Li’er and Chen Ling had to jump over the cracks from time to time. At the same time, the large screens on the street were broadcasting the latest news.

The news was constantly being broadcasted, comforting the public: “Last night in the South Cloud City, it is suspected that a Grand Mage advanced to a Curse Master.”

“As a result, there was a strong magical reaction, causing a rise in temperature and the emergence of a Titan-level Curse Beast.”

“However, the Curse Beast has currently disappeared, possibly killed by the newly promoted Curse Master. Citizens are advised not to panic.”

“As for the current temperature, it will remain high for a few days. We have invited experts in magical reactions to analyze the situation.”

Chen Ling listened and felt disdainful in his heart: What can they analyze…

“Cough cough… Hello, everyone. It’s about the advancement of the Curse Master. And it’s from the fire constellation, so this temperature might be caused by Aries…” The expert spoke in a dialect that Chen Ling couldn’t identify, sounding like a storyteller in a village.

“Please rest assured, the temperature is expected to drop today, so don’t panic.”

“Wow… So someone advanced to a Curse Master.”

“No wonder it was so hot last night. I almost burned to death!”

Sui Li’er looked happily at Chen Ling, feeling lucky.

Chen Ling shrugged in response, thinking what a load of nonsense was this about someone advancing?

“Heat up.”

〚 Ding~ Temperature control permission in use. 〛

Chen Ling directly increased the temperature by 20 degrees.

〚 Current temperature: 56° 〛

At the same time, he stabilized the temperature around Sui Li’er at about 24 degrees, neither cold nor hot.

Thanks to Sui Li’er’s accumulated points exceeding tens of millions, quite a few of Chen Ling’s Divine Personnel permissions had also been unlocked. He could better manage… no, he could better disgust the world.

“What the heck! Why is it so hot…” A barefoot person on the ground suddenly jumped up in surprise. His feet felt like they were burning.

“What the hell is this so-called expert!”

Someone looked up at the speaker and immediately started cursing: “After speaking, the temperature just increased?! Shut up already, you jinx!”

The street was filled with curses.

56 degrees Celsius, it was really driving people crazy with the heat.

〚 Ding~ Improper use of temperature control permission detected, causing public outrage! Please stop immediately! 〛

〚 Points -5! 〛

〚 Points -5! 〛

Hehe~ Chen Ling couldn’t help but smile. He thought about how to torment these people further.

Sui Li’er had been watching him the whole time and immediately noticed his smile.

But recalling how Chen Ling had been fierce towards her earlier, she remained silent this time. She simply watched quietly.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but wonder: What is he laughing about? Did something happy come to his mind?

The surrounding people’s curses quickly caught her attention. Unable to resist, she looked around.

“Ah!” Sui Li’er suddenly exclaimed in surprise, covering her eyes.

Chen Ling, puzzled, turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

He saw her blushing and covering her eyes, lowering her head. “It’s… nothing!”

Chen Ling looked ahead towards where she was looking and noticed that a man had taken off his shirt because it was too hot…

He chuckled lightly and said, “You’re quite innocent, haven’t you seen that before?”

“Hmm… Why should I have seen it?”

“Alright, he’s walked past now.”

“Oh.” Sui Li’er opened her fingers slightly, feeling a bit scared, and then quickly closed them again. When one person starts taking off their clothes, others follow suit. Everyone is really feeling the heat.

But there are also people displaying their various abilities, using different spells to cool themselves down.

“It’s so hot… Why don’t I feel it?” Sui Li’er was puzzled, but Chen Ling didn’t answer her question.

“Chen Ling… Are you hot?”

“If you’re feeling hot, do you want to take off your clothes… um… I don’t mind.” She stole a glance, feeling like Chen Ling didn’t seem affected by the heat.

She assumed he, like her, couldn’t sense the unusual temperature. Chen Ling glanced at her and replied nonchalantly: “I’m not hot.”

Sui Li’er nodded, thinking: Indeed… How miraculous!

“Why, do you want to see me take off my clothes?”
