A Kid Driving a Big Rig

Controlling a ship with your mind? You can control such a large ship with your mind like you're flying a sword? Lingzhou Yue sat cross-legged on the stone table, wearing the fairy robes made by Chuyan. Her posture was graceful and elegant, and even her bottom wasn't cold anymore.

"You're the one piloting the ship? Who's the Ship Girl, you or me?"

Xiao Ran held his teacup and sipped his tea, his expression serene and composed, appreciating his Master's demeanor with the mindset of a sailor on a ship.

Even her cross-legged sitting posture is so graceful and elegant...

Ship Girl are so amazing!

Next time, I'll ask Chuyan to make a set of Sirius Azure Cloud cheongsam for Master. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"No, I was just worried that Master was too tired and stressed from driving the boat, so I assisted Master in driving the boat. Master's manual control of the boat is at a higher level than my mental control. Master can control the entire boat at any time. If you still mind, I will erase the Resonance Spirit Runes of mental control of the boat."

Upon hearing the word "troublesome, "Lingzhou Yue immediately backed down.

"You should drive the boat."

Gao Shi and Junior Sister Zhehui exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something, and then tactfully prepared to leave.

"This boat was designed by my junior brother specifically for our senior uncle. He knows exactly how to use it, so I won't demonstrate it again. The only thing to note is that new boats need a break-in period, so don't drive too aggressively. Just keep it quiet."

Xiao Ran's eye twitched slightly.

Lingzhou Yue simply said, "We're going to Fight the Wraith, and the commotion won't be small."

"Understood, nephew. I'll take my leave now."

Gao Shi hurriedly grabbed Junior Sister Zhehui and pulled her off the boat. Halfway there, he turned back and said, "There are many temptations at the Heaven's Chosen Assembly. I wish you a speedy return, Junior Brother. Don't let the Dao Alliance snatch it away."

Xiao Ran saw a look of relief on his face, as if he had stayed at Zongzhi Mountain.

Junior Sister Zhehui is so radiant...

After Gao Shi and Zhehui left, Lingzhou Yue was in no hurry to test the new boat. Instead, she immediately called Chuyan, and the three of them sat down at the stone table to Fight the Wraith first.

Fight the Wraith is the most important thing in the Dharma Ending Era.

With the fully automated card dealing table, Lingzhou Yue Fight the Wraith's momentum is even stronger.

Chuyan waited for the cards to be dealt, then looked around at the boat.

I cannot understand what benefits such a design would bring to ship speed and combat effectiveness.

Suddenly, she realized something.

"I understand, you're not going to the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, you're going on your honeymoon!"

Lingzhou Yue didn't quite understand the meaning of a honeymoon, but that didn't matter.

"Do you want to come too? We can leave the cat to watch over Sword-Wielding Mountain. That way, we can sail all the way and Fight the Wraith along the way. Especially in the Dark Forest Chaos City, there really are Wraith. We can Fight the Wraith while sailing and even Fight the Wraith. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

Master truly lives up to his title as the Sword-Wielding Elder; his dedication to Fight the Wraith is unparalleled.

Chuyan, however, seemed uninterested.

"Although I went with my Grandmaster, Uncle-Master Huangfu told me to work hard and become the next prodigy, and not to show my face in public beforehand."

Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"If Uncle-Master Huangfu knew you knitted sweaters at home every day, he would be furious."

Chuyan glared at him.

"This is also a form of cultivation. All the myriad methods are for cultivating the mind and comprehending the Dao. There is no distinction between high and low. If advancing to the Spirit Severing Realm is as painless as advancing to the Nascent Soul, I will be at the Spirit Severing Realm like my Grandmaster in less than five hundred years."

Painless is confidence! Lingzhou Yue nodded and said, "Chuyan is right. Cultivating the mind is not about status. In the past month, I have fought more Netherworld Wraith than in the previous thousand years. If this continues, I will have to advance to the Body Integration Realm."

Whatever you say goes.

You talented players may be terrifyingly powerful, but in front of my system players, you're all little sisters.

Xiao Ran decided to try the boat.

With a thought, he floored the accelerator, activating maximum power, and steered the boat straight into the sky, reaching the peak beneath the grand formation in the Nine Heavens.

Even so, the boat remained very stable, and the gravity device kept the three of them firmly on the stone benches, so they did not feel any dizziness.

However, as Ship Girl, Lingzhou Yue's Qi Sea was linked to the ship's core, and she was controlled by Xiao Ran's will, which abruptly drained her Spiritual Power.

Although this amount of Spiritual Power was nothing to her, the emptiness that came from it made her pelvis tremble and her whole body shudder.

It felt similar to having my Spiritual Power drained by Xiao Ran's Serendipitous Critical Strike, only not as intense.

Lingzhou Yue's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly, and a faint blush of wine inexplicably appeared on her beautiful face.

"What are you up to now? Aren't you the one steering the boat? Why are you using my Spiritual Power!"

Xiao Ran explained, "This disciple is only at the Qi Refining Cultivation Level. How could I possibly operate Sword Ship belonging to Nascent Soul Stage cultivator? Isn't this like a child trying to drive a large cart? I'd die on your ship."

Chuyan was startled, as if she had misheard a word.

"Are you driving a boat or a person?"

Xiao Ran gave her a sharp rap on the head.

"Being happy is the most important thing."

Noon.

The soil and water at Sword-Wielding Mountain are so fertile and abundant that Xiao Ran's fruit harvest is exceptionally bountiful.

There were so many fruits that even after Xiao Ran picked a batch, and the Chunwa and Qiuchan kept them hanging on the trees every day, there were still far more fruits than could be eaten.

The same applies to vegetables.

It's already the season for them to ripen, and it would be a shame to let these fruits and vegetables rot.

However, these fruits were of low quality and were of little use to Xiao Ran.

Before leaving, Xiao Ran decided to harvest all the fruits and vegetables on the mountain and send some to each mountain peak inside the gate by boat.

After the harvest was complete, Xiao Ran kept some for himself, while the remaining hundreds of tons of fruits and vegetables were piled up on the ship like a mountain.

He used his Spiritual Power to slowly steer the boat, cruising through the Zongzhi Mountain Range.

The first stop was Hundred Herbs Peak, where Xiao Ran unloaded several tons of fruits and vegetables in front of the Hundred Herbs Peak Bamboo House.

This was the first time that Chunwa and Qiuchan had ignored the delicious food and, upon seeing Xiao Ran's Sword Ship, excitedly leaped into the air.

One person leaps up by stepping on another's head, only to be stepped on by the other and sent flying into the sky.

The two girls stepped on each other's footsteps, eventually boarding Xiao Ran's Sword Ship.

Xiao Ran glanced at it and thought it was alright; it was still better than Newton having to step on his left foot and fly into the air.

"Wow, what kind of ship is this? It's so long!"

"It looks like a sword, and also like a ship. It's so beautiful! Can someone in the Qi Refining Realm?"

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"No, children can't drive big vehicles."

The two girls were puzzled.

"Aren't you also at the Qi Refining Realm?"

"We're older than you. If you can drive, why can't the two of us?"

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"I was just helping my Master steer the boat."

"You stingy person!"

"I remember now, Master wants us to go to Chaos City to buy a medicine called something Anorexia Flower. Can you take us with you?"

"No, the Anorexia Flower is for the Sect Leader True Person to refine the Longevity Pill. My Senior Uncle has already assigned this task to me, so you don't need to go."

The two girls pouted and were unhappy, but they still stubbornly stayed on the boat.

Xiao Ran said, "You can help me scatter the fruit, but remember to be gentle and let the fruit and vegetables land steadily on the grass."

Xiao Ran sailed his boat, carrying Chunwa and Qiuchan, and a boatload of fruits and vegetables. He unloaded several tons at the Main Peak Sword Terrace, Jianping, and several more tons at the entrance of Sword-Tempering Mountain. He unloaded less at the less familiar smaller peaks.

At first, the inner disciples were confused, but after tasting the fruit, they quickly started scrambling to grab it, and even the instructors joined the frenzy.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Great Valley Peak.

Upon seeing the Sword Ship of Sword-Wielding Mountain, Baili Qingfeng assumed that Xiao Ran was about to set sail to transport grain. He immediately closed the granary and told his disciple that he had left the sect.

Inside the valley, Chen Gongxing also disappeared into the weeds, out of sight, out of mind.

Instead of scattering fruit, Xiao Ran sprinkled some pastries on the ground, allowing the disciples of Great Valley Peak to taste the delicious food made from his own grains.

The same applies to the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran True Person Guiyan immediately sealed off the entire valley.

Wherever the Sword Ship went, beasts fled in terror.

After the boat left, True Person Guiyan still found a gift box. When he opened it, he found it contained Mutton Jerky.

Little Qiong Peak.

The female disciples of Little Qiong Peak had already tasted Xiao Ran's delicious food. They opened the mountain gate and embraced the Sword Ship, much like the saying, "This humble gate is now opened for you."

"Our senior sister married into a good family!"

Fruits and vegetables were piled up in front of the Outer Sect Disciple Quarters.

These are rare delicacies that Outer Sect disciples can only taste regularly!

Lin Yunzi looked up at the departing Sword Ship, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

At the time, I just wanted to casually latch onto a powerful figure, but I never expected to end up clinging to a pillar of strength.

"Does Uncle-Master Xiao have another mission? Our errand team hasn't been out on missions in ages!"

Morning Dawn Peak.

Han Erleng and Wang Tiezhu sat on the West Slope, watching the new ship fly by, and were filled with longing.

"Sword-Wielding Mountain is really rich!"

"Why haven't the elders and my uncles been practicing body tempering lately?"

"Uncle-Master has already defeated Lu Pingtian the Saint Demon Sect. Does he still need to undergo body tempering?"

"I heard that the elder changed his target to Hundred Herbs Peak because the cost of crashing into Morning Dawn Peak was too high."

"Although I shouldn't say such unlucky things, I really hope this ship can crash into Morning Dawn Peak."

Xiao Ran had just scattered the last of the fruits and vegetables when he heard these words, so he took them back.

After Xiao Ran took a boat for a spin, the entire Zongzhi Mountain was filled with the sweet fragrance of fruit.

Giving fruit to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands; this act greatly improved the image of Sword-Wielding Mountain as a stingy miser.

Xiao Ran left the Chunwa and Qiuchan on Hundred Herbs Peak.

His Senior Uncle was still diligently refining pills in the Pill Chamber, and he didn't go to say goodbye.

Return to Sword-Wielding Mountain.

Lingzhou Yue, carrying her sketchbook and all her wine jugs, boarded the Sword Ship once more.

"Okay, let's leave a day early."

In the Disciple Quarters, Chuyan was engrossed in knitting a sweater.

Seeing her Master and Grandmaster go out to enjoy themselves together, she felt no emotion whatsoever.

She firmly believed that by controlling a woman's wardrobe, she controlled her heart.

Amidst the farewells of the Outer Sect disciples, the Sword Ship took off and slowly traversed the Zongzhi Mountain Range, soon leaving the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array.

Entering the desolate desert, all that can be seen are broken walls and ruins, forming a stark contrast with Zongzhi Mountain.

"It's been so long since I've been to Chaos City..."

At the bow of the boat, Lingzhou Yue stretched her massive body and gave a long yawn.

"Aside from the teleportation array, it's still half a day's journey to Chaos City. It's so boring to sail with just two people... Do you have any games in your hometown that only two people can play?"

Yes, it exists, but you might die if you try it.

"No."

Xiao Ran was resolute.

Lingzhou Yue sat on the bamboo fence at the bow of the boat, her long, shapely legs crossed, her right hand resting on her knee, her snowy chin propped up, her clear eyes reflecting the shimmering autumn light staring intently at Xiao Ran.

"What does Chuyan mean by honeymoon?"
