Chapter 149: 148. Aerial Racing (4/4) Yesterday’s Update Immediately following, Wen Ping stood beside the ship’s rail and gave some instructions, "Elder Qin, I will return on time in ten days. I’ll leave them to you for now."
Qin Shan nodded, feeling secretly shocked by the scene.
Yang Xi immediately screamed, "The ship is flying!"
After the scream, she instinctively retreated a few steps, stunned as she watched the ship slowly rise into the air before her.
She was utterly bewildered.
A ship can fly?
Is this a myth?
Qin Shan observed the scene with calm indifference, having experienced many strange things before, muttering to himself, "No wonder we didn’t need the Flow-Sealing Horse, since there’s a ship that can fly, and it can make a round trip to Huangli City in ten days, at this speed..."
Having lived for a century, Qin Shan was naturally able to remain composed, but Qin Mo and the others could not.
A flying ship, they had never even heard of such a thing, let alone traveled on it to distant places.
"Wow, if I had known, I would have raised my hand," Huai Ye said with regret.
"Indeed. Why didn’t the Sect Leader tell us earlier that we would be riding a flying ship? I also wanted to ascend..." Yang Xi followed suit with a bitter face, filled with regret.
Though cultivation time is precious, traveling on a flying ship that can return from Huangli City in ten days means very little time is lost.
As everyone was lamenting, the flying ship had already vanished into the clouds.
This scene led to another round of discussion among the crowd.
"Did it disappear so fast?"
"That’s too quick."
"Wow, I regret it so much. Why didn’t I raise my hand?" Yang Xi squatted down, holding her head with a face full of remorse.
Meanwhile, on the flying ship, Yang Lele leaned against the ship’s rail, gripping it tightly with an excited expression, though this was her first time witnessing such a sight, so her face also showed a bit of fear.
Initially, she thought accompanying the Sect Leader to Huangli City was a loss, wasting much time. Perhaps by the time she returned, everyone’s power would have far surpassed her own.
But unexpectedly, they were riding this kind of flying ship.
Just for this experience, missing a month’s cultivation wouldn’t matter, she would be willing to skip a year.
Who else in the world has traveled on a flying ship?
At this moment, Wen Ping spoke up, "We should arrive in Huangli City by noon. There are rooms onboard where you can rest if you want to take a break."
Yun Liao and Yang Lele nodded in response, then shook their heads.
Nodding was to agree with Wen Ping’s suggestion, shaking their heads showed they didn’t want to rest at all.
They then immediately turned around, holding the ship’s rail, looking out with excitement, showing no intention of leaving.
Passing through the Sea of Clouds, over mountains and rivers.
Looking down, the scenery of East Lake was in full view, houses and cities seemed as small as ants and palms.
Yang Lele took a glance back, and then shouted excitedly, "Sect Leader, Elder Yun, Cangwu City is already out of sight."
Yun Liao immediately turned around to look, "Let me see... This flying ship is so fast, in just a moment even Cangwu City is out of view."
Wen Ping noticed and smiled, then explained, "This is called a Flying Ship."
"Flying Ship!"
"What a great name."
Both simultaneously extolled it.
After a while, when Yun Liao looked down at the earth, he suddenly showed an expression of pleasant surprise because he saw the iconic scenery of Xingyue City—the Eight-character River—a river flowing in shape of an eight outside the city.
Witnessing this, Yun Liao couldn’t help but sigh, "Used to take over a month, traveling hundreds of miles, enduring hardships and facing life-threatening risks when I came to Cangwu City. But this flying ship has already reached Xingyue City in a blink."
"Elder Yun, so your hometown is Xingyue City?" Yang Lele said, smiling, then immediately pointed to the migrating herd below with excitement, "Wow, so many Fierce Beasts gathered into a stream... There are so many, at least tens of thousands... Where are they going?"
Wen Ping explained, "They are migrating. When the climate and environment isn’t suitable for them, they seek a new place more suitable for living."
Yang Lele exclaimed with surprise, "So they don’t live in the forest forever!"
"What you’re seeing now isn’t a forest but a plain."
"Plain?" Yang Lele looked bewildered.
Wen Ping saw this and gave a helpless smile.
Indeed, the world is vast and requires exploration.
Without television in this world, without venturing out, one wouldn’t even know what a plain is.
Given such, what does it matter how powerful one becomes?
Just then, Haha suddenly began barking wildly on the deck. Yun Liao took a glance in the direction Haha was looking and was startled.
There was a Fierce Beast of the Wing Race ahead.
The sky is their domain; flying ships passing through would definitely get attacked.
Immediately he said, "Sect Leader, there is a Fierce Beast of the Wing Race ahead, they are naturally violent. Should we try to avoid it?"
