The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 423 Taking a Ride

“You saw through my little thoughts,” Wu Yufei said, her pretty face flushing red. She stammered, “You're about to fight a major battle, and I know you’re nervous. I’m just trying to help you relax… Tch, what a waste of good intentions!”

Chen Xiao was taken aback. “Even you know that I’m about to fight a major battle?”

Chen Xiao didn’t mind the words ‘major battle.’

After all, his opponent was Hong Kong’s number one master of esoteric arts. Although he didn’t know exactly how strong he was, he shouldn’t be too weak.

But where did the word ‘nervous’ come from?

“Of course, I know. Hua-ge told me. Your opponent is the number one person in Hong Kong, very powerful! But I believe in you, you can definitely defeat him!”

Wu Yufei said firmly.

Clearly, she knew something, but not much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have mistaken Hong Kong’s number one master of esoteric arts for the number one person in Hong Kong.

However, Hong Kong respected esoteric masters above all else. Saying that Tu Junhou was the number one person in Hong Kong wasn’t exactly wrong.

“Since you don’t appreciate it, then I’ll leave…”

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, and a woman adorns herself for her beloved.

Wu Yufei had dressed up carefully before coming to see Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao didn’t seem to react at all. She was somewhat disappointed.

She had expected this outcome, but when it actually happened, Wu Yufei was still a little sad.

“Am I really getting old?”

Twenty-eight-year-old Wu Yufei doubted her own charm for the first time in her life.

Seeing her forlorn appearance, Chen Xiao felt a little bad.

He smiled slightly and suddenly asked, “Wait a minute, do you want to go for a drive?”

“Okay! Where are we going?”

Wu Yufei immediately became excited, her dejected mood swept away.

“You’ll find out when we get there.”

Chen Xiao smiled mysteriously, “But you have to change your clothes first. It might be cold later.”

Wu Yufei was puzzled, thinking, how could it be cold when the weather outside was so hot?

But she still listened to Chen Xiao and went back to her room to change her clothes, wrapping herself up tightly this time.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Xiao led Wu Yufei out of the villa and to an open space in the mountains, a rarely visited spot.

“Didn’t you say you were going to take me for a drive? Why didn’t you even bring a car?”

Wu Yufei was bewildered.

But soon, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and her face turned shy.

“He brought me to this kind of place, could it be that he wants to do *that* kind of thing…”

“But I’m not ready yet. Forget it, how long do I have to prepare!”

“I didn’t expect him to be into this! Humph, pretending to be serious!”

Just as Wu Yufei was lost in her fantasies, Chen Xiao suddenly said, “Who said that going for a drive has to involve a car?”

Then, he took out the Xuanhuang Jade Sword and casually tossed it into the air.

The scene that followed was unforgettable for Wu Yufei.

With Chen Xiao’s thought, the Xuanhuang Jade Sword grew longer and wider as it met the wind!

In a moment, a huge jade sword, four or five meters long and more than two meters wide, appeared before Wu Yufei.

“This, this, this… Chen Xiao, this, this is…”

Looking at the jade sword floating in the air, Wu Yufei was dumbfounded and at a loss.

Chen Xiao leaped onto the jade sword and reached out to Wu Yufei, “Come on up, let’s go for a ride!”

“This, won’t I fall down…”

Wu Yufei grabbed Chen Xiao’s hand, and before she could react, she felt Chen Xiao pull her up with force, scaring her pale and making her scream.

But when she came back to her senses, she was already standing safely on the jade sword.

“Hold on tight to my hand, let’s go!”

Chen Xiao reminded her, then with a thought, began his first sword flight on Earth!

The jade sword rose into the air, flying higher and higher.

Wu Yufei trembled with fear, her legs shaking.

Wu Yufei’s heart was beating fast, filled with excitement as well as nervousness and fear!

Amid this tense and exciting mood, the jade sword flew to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The entire Hong Kong was visible in its entirety, with its myriad of lights, so brilliant!

The stars and the full moon echoed each other, seemingly within reach.

A surge of heroic spirit arose in Chen Xiao’s chest.

Standing on a flying sword, determining the universe, able to pluck the sun, moon, and stars!

As the jade sword flew smoothly, the tension and unease in Wu Yufei’s heart gradually subsided.

And at that moment, she also understood why Chen Xiao had told her to put on more clothes, because it was really too cold up here!

This was the result of Chen Xiao controlling the flying sword to release heat; otherwise, Wu Yufei would have frozen solid at such a high altitude!

Wu Yufei never imagined that she would be watching the moon with Chen Xiao in this way.

She asked cautiously, “Chen Xiao, are you a god?”

“A god?”

Chen Xiao smiled, “Gods are not as carefree as I am.”

Wu Yufei was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, “Could it be that he knows real gods?”

She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen next, but she seemed to suddenly understand why her beauty didn’t attract Chen Xiao in the slightest.

“What’s the name of this sword? It’s so amazing!”

Wu Yufei asked with an exaggerated expression.

Worthy of being an actress, she was definitely good at playing dumb and sweet.

“I haven’t thought about giving it a name yet.”

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then said casually, “Let’s call it Yitian Sword!”

Wu Yufei pursed her lips, “Did you have to be so perfunctory? You gave such an amazing sword a second-hand name?”

Chen Xiao laughed, “Compared to that one, my flying sword is more worthy of the name ‘Yitian Sword’!”

Wu Yufei puffed out her cheeks, thinking that was true.

She used to think that the things in martial arts novels were too exaggerated, but she didn’t expect that the real world was even more exaggerated!

Chen Xiao’s purpose in taking Wu Yufei out for a drive was to test the Yitian Sword’s sword flight ability.

After testing it, Chen Xiao was very satisfied.

After flying for a while, Chen Xiao controlled the Yitian Sword and slowly returned to the ground.

“How was it? Are you happy?”

Chen Xiao asked Wu Yufei with a smug look on his face.

Wu Yufei chuckled, because Chen Xiao’s expression at that moment was like a child showing off his new toy.

Sure enough, men are boys until they die!

Wu Yufei finally understood what this sentence meant.

“I’m very happy, thank you, Chen Xiao.”

Wu Yufei suddenly became serious.

The events of tonight had resolved all the resentment that had accumulated in her heart over the years.

If the ultimate purpose of God was only to arrange for her to meet Chen Xiao, then all the hardships and injustices she had encountered were worth it!

That night, Chen Xiao only held her hand, but gave her the most beautiful imagination about love.

And while Wu Yufei thought she had met love, Chen Xiao was thinking that with the completion of the Yitian Sword, Tu Junhou no longer had any chance of defeating him.

Now, everything was ready, waiting only for dawn…
