The two of them thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue.
The two lay on the beach, feeling the gentle breeze and gazing at the blue sky and white clouds. The rare tranquility and comfort made them both feel somewhat intoxicated.
"How far is it from here to Fuzhou City?" Ling Yi turned to Dongfang Bai and asked.
Are you going to Fuzhou City? If you have good horses, it will take three or four days.
"So far?"
Actually, the distance wasn't the problem; the problem was that he didn't know the way.
"Hey, are you free lately? I don't know the way!"
"Would you like me to show you the way?"
"Right!"
"Is there fine wine and delicious food?"
"Every meal is provided!" Ling Yi chuckled, stood up, and waved his hand to take out a Da Ha motorcycle.
This is one of the most expensive motorcycles in the entire Red City; there are only three in total, and Ling Yi bought them all.
This motorcycle has an extremely large frame, exudes Haki and imposing presence, and looks incredibly strong.
Ling Yi laughed, straddled the motorcycle, and turned the Key.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A Roar like that of a monster erupted, instantly igniting Ling Yi's Hot Blood.
With a twist of the throttle, the motorcycle wheels kicked up a cloud of dust and sped off.
Dongfang Bai's eyes lit up; he instantly took a liking to this Haki yet volatile-looking behemoth.
When Ling Yi drove around the lake and returned to Dongfang Bai, he saw Dongfang Bai's expression and laughed heartily, saying, "How about it? Isn't this thing cool?"
"Is this Mechanism Beast?"
"Pretty much, this is called a 'Big Ha' motorcycle."
"Let me try it!" Dongfang Bai said eagerly.
"Um... you're going to ride a motorcycle?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"OK!"
The Cult Leader Dongfang riding a motorcycle? Isn't this scene a little too risqué?
However, before the Eastern Grand Master could even get on his motorcycle, the first major problem arose.
Dongfang Bai was wearing a skirt, and if she wanted to ride a motorcycle, she would have to... well, even a pervert understands.
Just as the beautiful scenery was right in front of him, Dongfang Bai reacted prematurely. When he saw Ling Yi's lingering gaze, even the roots of his ears turned red.
"I didn't expect you to be a Celestial Immortal." Dongfang Bai spat.
She looked at the motorcycle, then at her skirt, and felt completely horrified.
Just then, a set of clothes was handed to her.
"Why don't you try this outfit on?"
"Are these clothes too?" Dongfang Bai asked curiously, holding up his jeans and white T-shirt.
"Of course it's the clothes. Go try them on, unless you want to show off when you ride a motorcycle."
"Pah, you bastard!"
Seeing Dongfang Bai disappear into the grove, Ling Yi chuckled. Although he couldn't see what lay beneath, the jeans and T-shirt accentuated his figure even more.
A few minutes later, Dongfang Bai emerged awkwardly from the woods.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up instantly. Sure enough, this pair... um?
Why did she wear her original skirt over her jeans and t-shirt?
My expectations immediately dropped considerably.
"Teach me!" Dongfang Bai said to Ling Yi after arriving at the motorcycle.
To be honest, teaching a beautiful woman to ride a motorcycle was a first for Ling Yi, and he was a little nervous.
This is different from Alice's Alice with Resident Evil.
Although Ling Yi and Alice had a lot of contact, Ling Yi truly had no feelings for Alice. Moreover, the Resident Evil World was filled with the stench of rotting zombies, so he simply wasn't in the mood for it.
But Dongfang Bai is truly amazing!
Especially when you get up close, the touch is so close, her delicate face and the woman's unique fragrance, all combined with the atmosphere and the environment.
Ling Yi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"This is the accelerator. The more accelerator you give it, the faster you go. So you need to go slow at first and get a feel for it..."
"This is the clutch. After starting the engine, you need to hold the clutch down first..."
This was the first time Dongfang Bai Dongfang Bai had been in such close contact with a man, but he didn't reject the feeling. In fact, he found it novel and exciting.
Dongfang Bai couldn't quite put his finger on what he was looking forward to; he was simply looking forward to it.
"There are four gears in total. This is neutral. Before starting the engine, be sure to check that it's in neutral..."
"Hey, why are you blushing? Are you even listening?"
"..." Dongfang Bai was speechless. Why don't you just say you were standing so close and even touching me inappropriately?
Also, is it really okay for you to say it so directly? She's a girl, it's so embarrassing for her.
Ling Yi genuinely lacks experience in interacting with girls; anyone with even a modicum of emotional intelligence wouldn't have been so direct.
Dongfang Bai was indeed very clever and quickly figured out the trick.
In just ten minutes, you can Youyou stroll around on the beach.
In half an hour, Dongfang Bai had already driven the car at 80 miles per hour, speeding around the lake.
He never fell even once. Ling Yi remembered how badly he fell when he was learning to ride a bicycle as a child.
An hour later, the two of them left the lake and woods, each on a motorcycle.
Modern transportation is officially introduced into the martial arts world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
It wasn't that Ling Yi didn't want to ride a bike with Dongfang Bai, but rather that he foolishly pulled out another bike in his excitement and insisted on racing with Dongfang Bai.
By the time he realized what had happened, he could only curse himself for being so stupid.
He couldn't very well take the motorcycle back.
Ling Yi was depressed about this for almost a whole day.
Motorcycles are naturally much faster than horses, but it still took them almost a day and a night to reach Fuzhou City.
Then we rented two rooms at the inn opposite the Fuwei Escort Agency and waited for the story to begin.
"Are you planning to pursue this Dongfang Bai?" White Queen jumped out as soon as he returned to his room after dinner.
"You know too much." Ling Yi rolled her eyes.
"At worst, you can take her out of here. Your attitude of wanting to make a move but having so many reservations is really frustrating to watch."
"Liking something doesn't necessarily mean you have to buy it."
Ling Yi did have some reservations, because he would be traveling to many more worlds in the future, and each world would have a female protagonist.
Does that mean you should just buy every one you like?
Ling Yi isn't the irresponsible type. Well... even being a scumbag needs a transition period, right? Right now, Ling Yi is still quite innocent, he's just too shy!
Ling Yi and Dongfang Bai kept their distance as much as possible.
Even White Queen noticed this, so Dongfang Bai probably sensed it too. That's why tonight, Dongfang Bai didn't even eat dinner with Ling Yi before going back to his room.
"It's obvious that Dongfang Bai has a thing for you. Isn't it just being a jerk to flirt with him and then pretend to be aloof and keep your distance?"
"What do you mean by feigning modesty? What do you mean by 'scumbag'? And how do you know she's interested in me?"
"There's no use in making excuses." White Queen, her hands behind her back, looking at Ling Yi with an expression that said, "I see through everything."
Ling Yi scratched his head. Could this really be considered scum? He was indeed tempted, but he genuinely had no intention of taking any action.
For most people, Dongfang Bai is simply a sentimental attachment.
Love? What kind of love is that? Isn't it just lusting after someone's body?
All claims of love at first sight are just excuses for intellectuals to act like scoundrels; the key is who the target is.
"Either be Yang Guo, loving only one person in your life, or be Dugu Qiubai, with no woman in your heart, whose swordplay is divine. Never be Zhang Wuji."
"..."
"Falling in love with every girl you meet, then refusing to take responsibility, torn between two choices, utterly scummy, yet not truly scummy, dragging out the decision to let go..."
"Have you transformed into an emotional guru?" Ling Yi said with a laugh.
"With a personality like yours, I don't know how you became the Protagonist."
You read too many novels.
"Okay, I'm a little conflicted." Ling Yi feigned surrender.
"Too shy to make a move? You've never been in a relationship before, have you?" the White Queen exclaimed in surprise.
"Get out! Get out!"
Ling Yi paused for a moment and then said, "It's only natural to feel admiration when you encounter a beautiful woman; it's human nature."
"But this isn't love, it's just instinct."
"So?" White Queen asked.
"Don't tell me to say 'let nature take its course,' that's an irresponsible statement for both parties."
"..."
"So, what's your suggestion?" Ling Yi gave up; he felt he couldn't argue with White Queen at all.
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, lest they fall and leave only bare branches."
"Then what?"
"Then we'll see what the other person chooses."
" Ling Yi, you need to know one thing: your future may be long, and you'll always need some companionship."
"If you don't want to take her out, you can simply put her into the Yang Token Space."
"There is no air in the Yang Token Space..."
"With the technology I currently possess, is it difficult to build a city and a complete ecosystem within the Yang Token Space?"
"Master, you can leave now. Stop studying this useless stuff!"
White Queen scoffed, waved her hand, and vanished from the spot.
"You're becoming more and more like a human being," Ling Yi said with a smile as he watched White Queen disappear.
Perhaps I'm just being too dramatic.
Is Ling Yi being pretentious? He is a little pretentious.
If it were any other Protagonist in a novel, they wouldn't bother with these issues. But Dongfang Bai, let's just accept him first.
This is probably related to Ling Yi's childhood "experiences," or more precisely, the memories of his predecessor, or even more precisely, the memories of the Protagonist of this world.
Ling Yi's mother left him and his father when Ling Yi was just old enough to remember things.
As Ling Yi grew older and more sensible, he gradually understood why his mother left.
Disliking Ling Yi's father for being poor, she ran off with a nouveau riche man who had some assets.
Since then, he has never returned to visit Ling Yi again, nor has he ever called home; he seems to have vanished without a trace.
This had a great impact on Ling Yi, so Ling Yi instinctively distrusted women.
White Queen secretly checked Ling Yi's information and learned about these things.
Therefore, White Queen was not encouraging Ling Yi to pursue Dongfang Bai, but rather hoping to help Ling Yi overcome the shadows of his childhood through Dongfang Bai.
