Chapter 268: Chapter 202: Distracted Thunder Tribulation Cloud
"When we meet Little Nannan later, will that Lin Hao be there too?" Mr. Li Sr. asked as he sat in the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt.
"He should be." Mr. Li nodded.
"Then I have to take a good look at what kind of kid he is." Mr. Li Sr. said, lowering the sun visor mirror to tidy up his hair.
Their granddaughter has always been competitive and never had any male friends. This time befriending Lin Hao, the old man knew about it early on.
An auxiliary Extraordinary, not much combat power.
But it’s not a big problem. While his vitality is still there, and his power hasn’t waned, he’ll transform his power to be neutral and peaceful before imparting it to his granddaughter. Then he’ll have her father teach her some combat skills. It’s not hard to protect the family business.
Choosing to impart when vitality hasn’t dissipated is like choosing early death, but it doesn’t matter; after all, he’s old. "Old and undying is like a thief," as they say.
The pain of imparting is recorded in the family annals as "worse than burning all five viscera," but it’s not a big problem. Anyway, within five minutes after the imparting, he’ll kick the bucket and won’t suffer long.
If he chooses to impart to his granddaughter and die, his deceased form would resemble a mummy, requiring a skilled funeral director for a proper burial...
Thinking of this, Mr. Li Sr. slapped himself. Why was he thinking about dying while living so well?
That’s a matter for a long time later. What needs to be done now is to freshen up and not embarrass Little Nannan.
The next moment——
Screech!!!
An emergency brake sent Mr. Li Sr.’s body lurching forward, messing up his newly tidied hairstyle.
"Hey, hey, have you been a patriarch for too long? Can’t even drive now?" Mr. Li Sr. flicked Mr. Li’s head.
Mr. Li winced in pain, rubbed it, and didn’t mind much but pointed outside the window seriously:
"Father, just now, I don’t know why, but I lost my mind and almost drove straight into the car in front."
Mr. Li Sr. flipped the sun visor up and indeed saw how close they were to the car ahead.
Recalling earlier thoughts of imparting to his granddaughter and ending his life, combined with his son’s situation——
"Dammit, the problem in River Debris City is huge, hurry up and leave!"
Bam!
The car jolted violently. Looking back, they had been rear-ended.
The airbags in the car behind had deployed.
"Damn, it’s really bad."
...
"Driver, slow down a bit." Lin Hao reminded the fast-driving driver from the front passenger seat.
"Don’t worry. I drive steadily." The taxi driver smacked his lips, furrowing his brows slightly.
A nameless anger flared up inside him.
Damn it.
So annoying.
This young man probably doesn’t even have a driver’s license, yet he’s here telling me, a veteran driver, how to drive!
How much did you pay for the ride? After deducting the company’s fee and fuel costs, how much is left in my pocket?
What service do you expect?
I don’t have money, how can I hit the beat at KTV...
Damn it.
This young guy really deserves it!
In a flash of thought, the anger in the veteran driver’s heart flared up.
Unconsciously, he pressed on the accelerator, increasing the speed on the crowded road.
[Under the care of Hehuan Sect’s River Debris Branch, the people are greatly cherished]
[The blood sacrifice incomplete, willingly belittling one’s own life, solving difficulties for the Upper Sect with a mortal body]
[Mortals become dogs of the Cultivation Sect, blessing their families and descendants]
[The driver beside Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao, affected by the Upper Sect’s grace, felt a desire to shake the tree despite being an ant]
Under Lin Hao’s Divine Thought, he noticed a dark pink glint flash in the veteran driver’s eyes, and his rationality rapidly dissipating.
[Even the official road drivers felt it]
[Galloping horses!!!]
The speed of the vehicles on the road increased, the traffic began converging towards the vehicle carrying Lin Hao and the others.
Just as Lin Hao was about to use Magical Power to control the speed, Qianqian, sitting in the back, swallowed and twitched her nose.
"Smells so good."
The next moment, she inhaled deeply.
From the driver’s brow, a barely perceptible dark pink airflow was drawn out and swiftly absorbed by Qianqian.
The driver’s rationality suddenly returned——
How did I get distracted?
Was it the KTV last night that got too heady?
Glancing to Lin Hao’s side——
What the—!
The seasoned driver slammed the brakes, nearly hitting the car that cut in from the right.
"Damn, do you even know how to drive?!"
Seeing the car that cut in stop ahead, the seasoned driver got out of the vehicle after it came to a halt, cursing incessantly.
Sitting in the back seat, Qianqian was still inhaling deeply, looking satisfied.
Dark pink air currents were continuously being devoured by Qianqian.
Delicious!
Although the feeling of fullness isn’t quite the same as the pills given by Teacher Lin, but...
The taste is amazing!
"Qianqian, are you alright? Feeling carsick?" Li Chuchu rolled down the window, hoping to give Qianqian some air.
"No worries, just let Qianqian keep inhaling." Lin Hao motioned to Li Chuchu not to worry about Qianqian’s condition for the time being.
Li Chuchu immediately understood; it seems another extraordinary event has occurred.
At this moment, what a regular person like her should do is...
Stay calm, cooperate, and don’t create trouble.
Lin Hao felt something in his heart at this time, opened the car door, got out, and looked up.
The Thunder Tribulation Cloud that had been overhead began to slowly expand.
In broad daylight, you could see the lightning snakes constantly wandering within, but there was no sound.
Oddly, Lin Hao felt a surge of anger.
That kind of "hostility" directed at him was still there, but it was already very weak.
It was as though something was distracting the Thunder Tribulation Cloud, making it unable to stay fixated on him as it once wanted to.
"Handsome, stop staring at the sky, it’s about to rain. I’ll drive you to the airport."
The seasoned driver, having snagged a pack of cigarettes, gestured grandly toward Lin Hao like a victorious general, signaling him to get in the car.
Lin Hao tore his gaze away from the Thunder Tribulation Cloud and got in the car.
"Let me tell you, I’m doing this out of kindness; I only took a pack of cigarettes from the person ahead.
If it were someone else, this rough talking might cost them hundreds to fix.
I have no interest in money; taking a pack is just to teach him a lesson, to drive carefully. He’s lost it, driving like that..."
As soon as Lin Hao got in the car, the seasoned driver started to ramble, showing off his generosity and magnanimity.
But after a while with no response, the seasoned driver felt a bit awkward and changed the topic.
"You guys heading to the airport, what time’s your flight? I heard airport security takes forever, and you kids—those expensive plane tickets—how can you afford them?"
Even though the seasoned driver had never been on a plane in his life, he decided to give the youngsters a lecture.
Buying a plane ticket and just sitting there costs a fortune—what a waste of money, right?
What’s the point of going to other cities? Judging by these young folks, they’re definitely off on a trip, but didn’t the web say travel is a scam?
How does it go?
Yeah! Travel is just about being tired of your own city and experiencing how others are tired of their lives.
Since these places are tiresome, why not stay in familiar ones?
The seasoned driver suddenly felt his level of insight was unparalleled, and awaited whoever would engage in conversation with him to expound on how flying is a waste of money.
As an elder, he always possessed more life experience.
"It’s okay, sir. Take your time driving. We’re on our private plane; it’ll depart when we arrive, so there’s no rush," Li Chuchu said softly.
Driver: "Uh... ahem."
The driver pursed his lips, silently driving.
Along the way, he occasionally glanced at Li Chuchu through the rearview mirror.
...This young girl must be bluffing... owning a plane, what kind of circumstances would that be... with those means, why call my ride... and a discount order...
But every time he thought of speaking up, he felt there was an indescribable air of nobility about Li Chuchu.
The rest of the trip passed in silence.
As they approached the airport, Lin Hao saw two figures far off under the overpass; an elderly gentleman with gray hair leading, followed by a middle-aged man, both sprinting madly toward the airport, raising a cloud of dust like exhaust behind them...
Getting closer, that middle-aged man, isn’t he Li Chuchu’s father?
"Chuchu, isn’t that your dad?"
Following Lin Hao’s direction, Li Chuchu looked under the overpass.
"Ah! That’s my dad and grandpa."
The seasoned driver also glanced out...
...damn, fooled by the girl... these youngsters ordered a discount service, but the elders are even more extreme, using their feet... and claiming it’s a private plane...
Hm?
That old man and even older one are running under the overpass, seemingly matching the speed I’m driving on it...
