Once again, entering the city felt a bit different, as two beauties had joined us in the car, driving at full speed...

"Yohooo..."

Nuwa exclaimed excitedly, speeding down the highway. Houtu took the passenger seat next to her, while Chen Xuan, gripping the railing in the back, watched the rapid acceleration with a look of utter despair.

"This is true passion! Compared to our flying, it's more challenging, more thrilling, more exhilarating! I want to go even faster..." Nuwa had completely fallen in love with racing.

"Faster... faster... When we get back, I'm driving! This is so much fun..." Houtu yelled from the passenger seat. Most girls would have been scared to death by now.

The car was already doing over a hundred kilometers per hour, its tires smoking...

"Brothers... this time, the madness of our South Mountain Speeding Party will definitely make us the most dazzling ones on this road, no doubt about it... Let loose, accelerate!"

"Hahaha... Nice! There's a big curve ahead. We need to fly even higher! Let's see who's the toughest..."

"Accelerate... accelerate... Let's do a beautiful drift! We are the youngest speedsters, hahaha..."

Ahead, a group of hoodlums were shouting, riding various motorcycles – a Mitsubishi, a handsome Prince, and others – accelerating wildly, the most stylish group on the entire highway.

Whoosh...

The next moment, they were all stunned...

A three-wheeled motorcycle suddenly overtook them. The driver was an incredibly beautiful woman, with another one in the passenger seat, and a man in the back looking utterly defeated. They overtook them on the curve at a drifting speed.

They didn't doubt for a second that the three-wheeled motorcycle's engine was smoking. How could it possibly go so fast? It was shaking violently as it sped along, feeling like it would flip over and crash at any moment, resulting in a wreck and fatalities...

But in the end, they were completely fine, steady as a rock. Even with one wheel off the ground, it was held down by a goddess's hand...

"Hello... Police Uncle?"

"I'm on the 321 National Road, and I saw someone speeding on a three-wheeled vehicle at over 110 kilometers per hour. It's incredible, like a female cow hitting a power line, with lightning! They're unbelievably fast, catch them quickly..."

One of the speeding hoodlums stopped and immediately dialed the police. They could only show off their own skills; if someone else was better, it was considered an act of defiance.

"A three-wheeled vehicle... was there a pretty girl driving?" The voice on the other end was breathless.

"Not one, but two pretty girls in the car, driving lawlessly! They've even stunned our Speeding Party. Hurry up and come." The young speedster reported the situation.

"That's good..." The traffic police officer on the other end breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly, "Wait where you are. We'll be there soon..."

"Wait... what does this have to do with us?" The hoodlum's face changed drastically.

"Heh heh... You've already been monitored. We have people intercepting at all the major checkpoints. A bunch of brats who don't know their place, daring to speed on the national road. Don't think you can get away with it just because we haven't caught you yet. You've provoked us, and now you're finished..."

The corner of the mouth on the other end of the line curled up, unable to be suppressed. This group of speeding hoodlums had escaped several times, and now they had finally taken the bait.

Screech...

A three-wheeled vehicle stopped outside the farmer's market.

Chen Xuan almost threw up.

"I'll drive next time. If you two keep this up, the police will impound the car sooner or later. Fortunately, rural areas have less strict regulations on three-wheeled vehicles..." Chen Xuan was on the verge of tears. He really couldn't let them mess around like this. Primordial Goddesses had turned into a speeding gang. The world was going downhill.

"No way... When we get back, I'm definitely driving! Why should Sister Nuwa have all the fun, and I can't..." Houtu refused to back down. She had to have her fun, and she didn't care at all about crashing. She wouldn't even care if the Earth exploded.

"Alright, alright..."

Chen Xuan was at his wit's end. He simply stepped into the farmer's market. It was crowded and bustling, with vendors setting up stalls everywhere. Only a small portion was regulated, requiring a stall fee.

"Where's the roast goose? Where's the roast chicken? And grilled meat... I want fish too..." Houtu's eyes lit up. There was so much delicious food in the market, her mouth was watering.

"Boss... what vegetables are good to plant this year?" Chen Xuan walked into a general store. It was a 2010 general store; they sold everything you could imagine.

"We have a lot of vegetables planted in the south, like spring greens, bok choy, cilantro, lettuce, and mustard greens..." the boss introduced them one by one.

"How do I buy them?" Chen Xuan smiled.

"One packet can plant one to two acres, depending on the germination rate. How much do you need?" the boss asked with a smile, thinking the young man was just playing around. He thought it would be better to work in a factory, as it paid over two thousand a month.

"Can I buy it by the pound? I need at least ten pounds..." Chen Xuan stared at him.

The boss shook his head and said, "These seeds belong to a large agricultural company. The core patents are abroad, and they are all sold in packaged form. If your order is large, you'll have to contact the seed company."

"I see," Chen Xuan sighed and said, "Just give me as much as you have..."

"Alright..." The general store boss smiled and brought out all the stock in the store.

A large bag of seeds, including vegetables, fruits, beans, as well as radishes, sweet potatoes, and ginger, cost over seven thousand.

"Why are you buying seeds? Aren't you farmers? You shouldn't be short of seeds..." Nuwa was very curious.

"That's true. In the past, we'd save rice seeds from the previous year, and it's been like that forever. Later, other people's seeds were more fragrant, higher yielding, and safer. This type of seed requires human resources to cultivate, which led to the capital market..."

"It's a pity we've fallen so far behind, especially in seed research. The patents are basically held by foreign countries, so we're being choked and have to spend a lot of money to buy them..."

Chen Xuan sighed. In the end, capital reigned supreme.

"Little Xuanzi... With Sister Nuwa here and a bunch of spiritual treasures to support you, mortal things are nothing! You can even produce immortal grains. Work hard, young man!..." Houtu said dismissively, not taking it to heart at all.

"Heh heh... Besides seeds, we're also behind in technology. Things like systems, chips, electronics... no, even in medicine. Whether it's diagnostic equipment, drug research, health indicators..."

Chen Xuan didn't hold back, listing them all in one go.

It was said that a certain country controlled health. By slightly lowering the healthy range for blood pressure, they could sell tens of billions more in medication. It was truly terrifying.

Snap...

Chen Xuan was flicked on the head, his mind buzzing. Nuwa said unceremoniously, "Don't get stuck in a mental rut. You're a cultivator, can't you overcome mortal technology?"

"Haha..." Chen Xuan was relieved.

"What are you laughing at? I want to eat that guy who looks like a ball of clouds. Go buy it quickly..." The foodie Houtu pointed to an old man not far away.

"I want that candied hawthorn. It looks delicious on TV," Nuwa's eyes lit up.

The two bosses selling roast goose and candied hawthorn were slightly stunned. Two beautiful women walked over, like fairies from myths, not of this world.

Because gods cannot be looked at directly, many people took a fleeting glance and then felt reality blur, becoming hazy and gradually leaving little impression.

The two goddesses were so conspicuous, strolling around casually, eating snacks, and shopping. They walked for half a day, and Chen Xuan's arms were full of bags, his face dejected.

"What's with that expression? You're shopping with this Palace and you look unwilling. You still wanted a fairy-level goddess as your wife? I guess not..." Nuwa snorted.

"Sister Nuwa... you're just blowing smoke. Little Xuanzi is said to be a boss himself, he's always blowing smoke, this trick won't work..." Houtu sighed.

"Stop messing around, it's time to go back..." Chen Xuan glanced at the sky, needing to make arrangements for planting.

"Okay... Houtu sister will drive this time." Nuwa smiled charmingly, making Chen Xuan's scalp tingle. He prayed that there would be no accidents on the road.

"Let's go, let's go... I'll take you flying today." Houtu's eyes sparkled.

Houtu drove, Nuwa guided from the side, and Chen Xuan was still in the back, nervously holding on, afraid of being thrown out. They sped off and headed onto the 321 National Road.

Beep boop beep boop...

They hadn't gone far before vehicles began to follow closely behind them.

"Three-wheeled vehicle ahead, stop immediately. You've violated regulations. Cooperate with our inspection now..." a loud speaker blared.
