Chapter 110
“Aaaah, holy shit!”
Ye Piaoling screamed.
Normally, she could slam on the brakes by herself without anything going wrong. But of course, today she had a grown man riding with her. Under that sudden stop, he failed to steady himself and went flying straight into her, knocking her clean off the bike!
Looks like he hadn’t been lying. His movement techniques really were pretty terrible…
Di Xiulan held the girl in his arms as the two of them drew a graceful parabola through the air, then made a spectacular landing on a stretch of grass carpeted in flowers.
An instant before they hit the ground, he raised a hand and cast a spell. A cushioning Barrier like rippling water instantly rose from the earth.
Ye Piaoling fell face-first. Though the Barrier supported her and it didn’t hurt at all, she still got a mouthful of grass…
“Mmph! Ptooey!”
Spitting out the bits of grass with all her might, Ye Piaoling struggled out from under the man and glared at him in exasperation.
Di Xiulan lazily sat up and frowned. “Why did you stop so suddenly? You frightened this venerable one.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
So in this situation, was she supposed to apologize to him?
After all, she had braked without warning. It really wasn’t entirely his fault…
“I’m sorry. My driving skills suck. I scared you.”
With that, Ye Piaoling walked over and picked up the electric scooter.
“Babe, let’s switch positions.”
She said to Di Xiulan, “You drive. I’ll sit in the back. I’ll tell you how to operate it.”
The man had no objections and got onto the electric scooter.
For the sake of her own personal safety, Ye Piaoling didn’t dare get on right away. She stood beside him and acted as his instructor first.
“Right, that’s it. Hold the handlebars with both hands. Twist the right handle a little and the electric scooter will start. Keep twisting it and it’ll speed up…”
Before she could finish speaking…
Whoosh-
Lord Divine Venerable had already ridden the electric scooter off in a cloud of dust!
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared beyond the horizon of green grass and flowers…
Ye Piaoling, left standing where she was: “…”
She stood frozen for a long while, then roared in a frenzy, “Wait! Come back! Come back! I haven’t gotten on yet!”
At that moment, she seriously suspected this man had only wanted to steal her electric scooter!
She shouted for ages, but he was still nowhere to be seen.
Ye Piaoling collapsed weakly onto the ground and shut her eyes in despair.
For fuck’s sake…
If she’d known this would happen, she might as well not have switched positions. Now she’d lost both the man and the vehicle!
Not long after, a familiar engine sound suddenly reached her ears.
The electric scooter was back!
Overjoyed, Ye Piaoling turned her head and opened her eyes, only to see a wheel speeding straight toward her!
Watching as the tire was about to roll over her face, Ye Piaoling couldn’t help shrieking.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Amid her terrified screams, the electric scooter came to a precise stop.
Veteran driver Di Xiulan looked down at her from above, his handsome face smiling as he said gently, “Get up. Time to get on.”
“…”
Ye Piaoling puffed up with anger as she climbed to her feet and snorted. “So you did remember to come back for me? I thought you were just going to run off like that!”
Di Xiulan smiled. “I was not very familiar with it just now and lost control for a moment.”
Ye Piaoling sighed and ultimately swallowed back the retort she wanted to make.
She only sighed and said, “How should I put it? After all, this is your first time touching an electric scooter. Though it got a little out of control, at least you’re way better than that subordinate of yours, Liang Yun…”
The moment she thought of Liang Yun floating above the electric scooter, lingering fear still gripped Ye Piaoling.
“Liang Yun crashed straight into a tree back then. You didn’t hit any trees, which proves your technique is pretty good!”
Di Xiulan said, “Perhaps that is because there are no trees nearby.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
She looked around. The land was flat as far as the eye could see. There really wasn’t a single tree!
Ye Piaoling fell silent for a moment, then let out a breath.
“That’s good. That’s good. As long as there are no trees, I can relax…”
She climbed onto the back seat of the electric scooter and lightly gripped the man’s belt.
Di Xiulan curved his lips and said softly, “Babe, we’re setting off.”
With a whoosh, the electric scooter once again shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring!
Ye Piaoling blinked. What he had said just now had been swallowed by the wind, so she hadn’t heard clearly, but it seemed like he had called her… babe?
He had suddenly become so warm and sweet that Ye Piaoling felt unaccustomed to it. She suspected she had misheard.
So she asked loudly, “Hey, what did you just say?”
Di Xiulan: “We’re setting off.”
Ye Piaoling: “No, the line before that!”
Di Xiulan: “There are no trees nearby.”
Ye Piaoling: “Not that line either… The one between those two lines. Just one word!”
Di Xiulan: “There were no other words between those two lines.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
She ground her molars resentfully. “Did I really hear wrong?”
Di Xiulan chuckled lazily. “Yes, babe. You heard wrong.”
“…”
Ye Piaoling froze for a moment, then immediately shouted, “I heard it! You called me babe! Hahahaha!”
She burst into laughter. “For the sake of riding my electric scooter, you actually stooped to spouting cheesy pickup lines at me! Hahahahahaha…”
On the Great Roc, Xiao Changye furrowed his brows.
He seemed to have heard that Damn Woman’s laughter!
Looks like she was having a great time!
Not far ahead, Lu Yin was also very happy. He was talking to Hua Wuhuang about the past.
“Wuhuang, do you still remember? The first time we met was three years ago, in the military camp at the border. Back then, you joined the army in your father’s place. Though you were only sixteen, you had all the soldiers completely under your thumb. That was when I decided that in this life, I would marry no one but you!”
Hua Wuhuang said nothing and simply let him ramble on.
Indeed, Lu Yin had also come from the army. When they first met, the Marquis of Cangwu was already Dali’s youngest military officer. He didn’t use blades or spears; with only a single longsword, he could move through thousands upon thousands of enemy troops as if no one were there.
At the time, Hua Wuhuang had only regarded Lu Yin as a senior and a comrade-in-arms. The other man had never made any ambiguous advances toward him either. He never expected that Lu Yin had already been harboring evil intentions!
Lu Yin smiled. “Later, I left the military camp and went to the Tianwen Sect, and only then did I reunite with you as your master. You asked the grandmaster to delay the wedding, and I don’t blame you for that. But after three years, you still have nowhere to run. Hahaha!”
He laughed and chatted loudly with Hua Wuhuang.
Xiao Changye sat behind them like an aggrieved third wheel, his face dark.
Everyone was happy. Only We are unhappy…
There wasn’t a single person here who treated Us like the emperor, and no one cared about Our feelings. It was seriously pissing Us off!
