Bailu's Talent

Hearing Jingliu's words, Bailu turned her head and gave Bai Luoming a smug look, then tiptoed and climbed into the driver's seat.

As soon as Bailu sat down in the Starskiff, she reached for the seatbelt, adjusted the seat and rearview mirror, looking every bit like a seasoned driver.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming felt a little more at ease. Regardless of Bailu's driving skills, at least she knew the proper driving procedures before starting a car.

Thinking of this, he bent down and sat on the Starskiff. He looked around the interior of the Starskiff and did not choose the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. Instead, he sat in the back seat next to Jingliu, but there was an arm's length between the two of them.

Just kidding. Generally speaking, the passenger seat is the most dangerous. It's not that he doesn't trust Bailu's driving skills, but being thrown out would be unpleasant, wouldn't it?

As Jingliu watched Bai Luoming sit in the back seat, a sense of satisfaction filled her heart. However, seeing that he was sitting so far away from her, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes under the black veil turned cold.

She never expected Bai Luoming to be trained into this state at the Herta. In her Remembrance, Bai Luoming had never been this far away from her before. It seems she'll have to teach him a lesson he won't forget!

Sitting on the Starskiff, Bai Luoming felt the space Starskiff seemed a bit colder, and he couldn't help but hunch his shoulders.

Bailu completely ignored the strange atmosphere in the back seat. Ever since she sat in the driver's seat, she felt an impulse welling up from her small body, as if she had an unparalleled familiarity with this Starskiff.

She easily started the Starskiff, then stepped on the clutch and shifted the gear lever to fifth gear.

Upon seeing Bailu's actions, Bai Luoming's expression froze, and he turned his gaze to Jingliu, seemingly wanting to ask if such an action was normal.

Although he can't drive the Starskiff, starting in fifth gear is clearly not right!

However, Bai Luoming realized that Jingliu probably couldn't pilot the Starskiff either, so he calmed himself down and gripped the armrest on the seat tightly.

As Bai Luoming expected, Bailu showed unprecedented excitement after shifting into fifth gear.

She released the clutch and floored the accelerator with her right foot. The Starskiff's RPM instantly jumped to over 7,000, and the entire Starskiff sped off into the street like an arrow.

Only then did Bailu slightly suppress her excitement and turn to Jingliu to ask, "By the way, where are we headed?"

"Hmm, let's go to the Cloud Knights's training grounds; that's where we can really let loose."

"Alright, target: the training grounds, let's go!"

After saying that, Bailu stepped on the gas pedal again, and the speed of the Starskiff soared once more. This time, even the voice prompts that came with the shared Starskiff began to warn Bailu that she was seriously speeding.

"Beep beep, speeding detected. Please slow down."

Upon hearing Starskiff's voice prompt, Bailu's expression froze. Without thinking, she unplugged the voice prompt cable and pretended not to hear it.

After all, it's not easy for her to drive the Starskiff without any liability, so how could she slow down because of something like this?

Feeling such a strong push against his back, Bai Luoming couldn't help but wake up. Luckily, he had grabbed the armrest early, otherwise he would have had a close encounter with the back of the seat in front of him.

But seeing Bailu still excitedly accelerating, he couldn't help but look at Bailu curiously and ask, "Bailu, who taught you how to pilot Starskiff like this before?"

"Huh?! Actually, no one taught me. I don't know why, but I seem to have a natural talent for the Starskiff since I was little. I can pick it up and use it right away."

Bailu turned back and smiled, her eyes filled with longing, and continued to Bai Luoming, "I often think, if only I weren't the High Elder of the Vidyadhara, if I were a Foxian, maybe I could even become a flying pilot of the Sky-Faring Commission."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoming fell silent. Bailu's predecessor was Baiheng, and her Starskiff piloting skills were unmatched even now.

Thinking of this, Bai Luoming turned to look at Jingliu. At this moment, Jingliu was looking at the scenery rushing past outside the Starskiff, her eyes sparkling beneath the black veil, her thoughts churning.

Meanwhile, on a Starskiff beside the road, an employee of the Sky-Faring Commission yawned and said somewhat boredly to his companion, "Today's so boring, not a single traffic violation."

"Indeed, perhaps they were frightened because we were on duty today."

"Haha, that's true. You know, we're the twin stars of Sky-Faring Commission, the strictest in handling violations. Maybe they were scared when they heard we were on duty today."

Haha, I won't tell you, I won't tell you.

"By the way, after get off work soon, do you want to...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a Starskiff sped past them at an incredible speed.

Sky-Faring Commission employee A, looking somewhat dazed, turned to employee B, who also seemed dazed, and asked, "Was I seeing things? Did something just dart past?"

"You're kidding me! That's clearly speeding! The speed camera isn't even showing the speed anymore. They're so arrogant, they don't respect us at all!"

Employee B, holding a speedometer, addressed Employee A. Seeing Employee A still standing there in a daze, he patted him and said sternly, "What are you waiting for? If we can't catch up in time, we can forget about our performance bonuses this month!"

Only then did Employee A realize what was happening. He quickly started the engine, shifted gears, and chased after the speeding Starskiff.

But no matter how fast he chased after them, the distance between them didn't decrease at all; instead, it was rapidly increasing.

Seeing this, Employee A complained to Employee B beside him, "What's wrong with this guy? It looks like just a shared Starskiff, how can he drive so fast? Isn't there a speed limit? I think this company that operates shared Starskiff really needs to be taught a lesson!"

"Never mind that for now. If you can't catch up with this Starskiff, I think your pilot's license was a complete waste!"

Upon hearing this, Employee A gritted his teeth, focused to the limit, and slammed on the accelerator, pushing the speed to maximum. At the same time, he activated the Starskiff's communication function, repeatedly shouting at the Starskiff ahead, trying to make it stop.

Bailu, who was piloting the Starskiff, was unaware of all this. As she piloted the Starskiff, she felt that the surrounding scenery seemed to slow down in her eyes, making her maneuvering the raft more skillfully.

This shared Starskiff seemed to resonate with Bailu, constantly accelerating under her control, far exceeding the Starskiff's maximum speed.

Bai Luoming watched as the scenery outside the Starskiff turned into afterimages, flashing by rapidly, and he seemed to hear some kind of stopping sound.

He looked at Bailu with some confusion and asked, "Bailu, did you hear something? It sounded like they were telling us to stop the car or something."

"Nothing of the sort! Who would come from there?! You're being overly sensitive!"

Upon hearing this, Bailu immediately denied it three times. She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the Sky-Faring Commission's patrol Starskiff trying to catch up with her. With a disdainful look, she stepped on the gas pedal, and the Starskiff continued to accelerate.

Like I said before, it's not easy to get a chance to drive the Starskiff without any liability, so if you guys catch up, it's a disaster!
