I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal Chapter 98 - 92 The Dream of Flying
In the waiting room.
Bai Shi thought back to Chen Yun’s brutal slaps and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
This made people waiting nearby subconsciously look up at him.
"What’s so funny?"
Sun Huwen cocked her head to the side, puzzled.
"Nothing, just rembered sothing amusing," Bai Shi said with a smile, intending to brush it off, but seeing that it was Sun Huwen who asked, he added, "Don’t you think Chen Yun’s wild actions just now looked particularly funny?"
Monts like "I swear on my mom," punctuated by well-tid slaps, were simply too good.
He had been too worried about Chen Yun before.
He hadn’t paid attention to how amusing the entire process of one person slapping another and thereby intimidating seven had been.
Once this trip was over, he would have to take out the dashcam from his Cadillac parked at Tianfu Airport.
"It’s funny alright, and Mr. Chen Yun is definitely impressive, but..."
"Wouldn’t those guys call the police?"
Sun Huwen asked with so concern.
She had wanted to ask this question after Chen Yun finished dealing with those n, but seeing Bai Shi, Chen Yun, and Jiang Anping acting as if nothing had happened, so calm, she didn’t know how to bring it up for a mont.
Now in the waiting room, she asked impulsively.
"No surveillance, don’t worry."
Jiang Anping, who was engrossed in playing a two-versus-two mode of Three Kingdoms Kill with Chen Yun with her head down, chid in without looking up.
Her deanor was as calm as it had been when they were almost in a group brawl, perpetually serene.
Her calm was different from Chen Yun’s confidence and Bai Shi’s familiarity with such scenes; it seed innate and undisturbed.
Indifferent to most things, she could make decisions calmly.
Now, with that calm reassurance for her best friend spoken, she returned to concentrating on her turn in the ga.
She might be indifferent to most things, but she was very interested in learning, advancing, and surpassing others, whether it be in real life or in gas.
Especially this sharpshooter, Gambling Saint, esports magnate, and fighting expert sitting beside her – he was the target she really wanted to outdo.
"Yes, the dirt road is quite secluded, there’s no evidence of anything we did."
Chen Yun also spoke up to ease Sun Huwen’s worries.
He had noticed Sun Huwen seed anxious on the way here, as not everyone who cos close to a brawl can act like nothing is wrong.
But Sun Huwen was Bai Shi’s girlfriend, and it didn’t seem quite right for him to rush to comfort her.
"Rest assured, it’s one thing for the dirt road to have no surveillance."
"Those guys, eight of them not daring to face Chen Yun alone, would probably be too embarrassed to call the cops themselves."
Bai Shi chuckled, comforting his girlfriend.
Forget about surveillance; those thugs didn’t even have a rear dashcam in their car.
Even if they had, Bai Shi had activated the infrared jamr on his modified Cadillac during the fight, ensuring that no cara could capture any scenes from the altercation.
"Okay, that’s good."
Sun Huwen nodded, visibly relaxed and resud chatting and laughing with Bai Shi.
Bai Shi responded with a smile imdiately.
However, he also felt a twinge of guilt for not having been more attentive to Sun Huwen’s feelings.
To him, what had happened was really just minor trouble.
When he was abroad, real brawls often involved weapons, not like those bullies they encountered on the road who only acted tough.
So, Bai Shi, not seeing the big deal, temporarily neglected his girlfriend’s feelings.
Now, as he chatted with his girlfriend, he was all about making her laugh.
...
Ti slowly passed by.
Before long, the airport’s boarding announcent sounded.
"Attention passengers traveling to Lianshui in Jiangnan Province: Flight EU2725 is now boarding. Please take your belongings, show your boarding pass, and proceed to Gate 222. Have a pleasant journey. Thank you!"
"Attention passengers traveling to Lianshui in Jiangnan Province: Flight EU2725 is now boarding. Please take your belongings, show your boarding pass, and proceed to Gate 222. Have a pleasant journey. Thank you!"
Chen Yun and the others followed the signs to board.
After finding their seats on the plane, Chen Yun sat next to Bai Shi, while Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping’s seats were right behind them.
Once settled, the other three started on the offline entertainnt they had prepared.
But instead of reading downloaded novels like he used to when flying, Chen Yun quietly watched as the plane accelerated, took off, and entered the clouds.
When looking up at the sky from the ground, one can only see a portion of the clouds, but from a plane, it’s possible to behold the endless, diverse expanse of the cloud sea.
Chen Yun gazed out.
Around him lay a continuous, snow field-like sea of clouds. The sun cast various hues upon the layers, from bright white to warm gold, and then to the deep blue shadows.
Before, when he’d fly other than the first ti, he never marveled at such sights again.
But now.
He felt sothing a little different.
The last ti he flew from Jiangnan Province back to Shucheng, he was just an average person starting the new year.
But now...
He had evolved, a complete real-deal superhuman.
Pondering.
Chen Yun unleashed his full Perception Ability from the Transparent World, taking in the sensation of speeding between the clouds.
There were windspeeds unlike any on the ground, different temperatures. He felt an unprecedented freedom to soar at any angle.
The mist of cloud vapor rushing at his face inford Chen Yun that this was the vast expanse of the sky!
The feeling of the mist flashing by in his perception.
It was akin to the dream he had as a child, soaring atop an airplane!
A sensation else no one could comprehend.
In a mont’s reverie.
Chen Yun felt as if he were truly flying in his flesh and blood, feeling free beneath the vast azure sky.
Overcoming the shackles of gravity, realizing a dream humans have long had, such a sense of achievent and spiritual liberation and satisfaction might be indescribable.
It was just a pity...
Chen Yun was not really flying in his flesh and blood right now.
He was just sitting in an airplane, experiencing everything outside through the Transparent World.
He was still bound by gravity.
Although he wished he could instantly evolve the ability to fly and then tear through this tal casing to leap freely from ten thousand ters in the air.
But reason still cald Chen Yun down.
The ability to fly was not yet attainable.
To contemplate doing so now, he would only experience a free fall without a parachute.
He believed that was definitely not what he wanted.
His current body was very unlikely to withstand such an impact.
If he wanted to fly,
Chen Yun could only hope for a continued enhancent in Telekinesis, which might eventually carry him into the sky.
This seed the most promising path, after all, the strength of Telekinesis truly was growing with Evolution.
Thinking this, Chen Yun stopped caring about the clouds whizzing by outside and quietly began reading the novel he had downloaded before boarding the plane on his phone.
No one on the airplane knew.
That today, they all had a brush with death at Ghost Gate.
There was soone capable of making an exit in the plane’s hull who really had considered doing so.
··························
At ten in the morning.
Flight EU2725 landed ten minutes ahead of schedule, taking two hours and thirty minutes.
Four people had traversed seventeen hundred kiloters, from the central area of southwest Hua Country, to this land on the eastern coast of Hua Country.
Maybe on so sunny, bright morning, everyone suddenly got tired of the repetitive daily rhythm, decided to drop what they were doing, pack up, and head to where their hearts desired. It could be those distant mountains, lakes and seas, or the quiet ancient town alleys, or even the dim lights of a bustling city...
But Chen Yun felt,
For him, that heart’s desired destination was right here.
He had always felt fortunate that his small county town managed to have an airport, which made it more convenient for him to travel back and forth.
With a bit of excitent, Chen Yun and his three friends hailed a taxi and headed straight for his family ho.
His residence in the Lianshui hotown was a resettlent community, not far from the airport, about fourteen kiloters away.
After spending thirty on the fare and twenty minutes on the road, Chen Yun arrived at the entrance of his community.
Looking at this place, which he had seen just over the New Year, Chen Yun felt sowhat unfamiliar.
Realistically, not much ti had passed, just a few weeks.
But it really felt like years had gone by.
This sensation of ti dragging on wasn’t due to suffering, but because so much had happened.
"Are you guys coming ho with ?"
Chen Yun asked, looking back at the three curious companions who were looking around.
"Of course, I want to eat at your place! And stay at your place!"
Bai Shi grinned mischievously.
But he was promptly slapped by Sun Huwen beside him.
"We’ve got a hotel booked nearby, but we can visit your parents first."
Sun Huwen smiled politely.
Jiang Anping, standing to the side, didn’t say anything but nodded silently.
"My dad might not be there to see, as he’s living in a city further to the east with my brother, and my mom only ca back because there was so issue at the old house."
"Well then, just follow ."
Chen Yun smiled and took the lead through the strange yet familiar community.
Before long,
A kindly-looking grandmother approached them and suddenly said to Chen Yun, "Oh, are you the Chen family’s kid? Why have you co back at this ti?"
"Hello, Grandma Li, I’ve brought so friends to visit for a couple of days."
Chen Yun greeted the lady politely, making small talk with the strange elder.
Here in the resettlent community,
Most people basically were under the sa large brigade, and the older generation could usually recognize almost everyone in half the community.
Of course, this didn’t include the young Chen Yun.
Apart from a few relatives he frequently interacted with, who could rember so many distant relatives and old neighbors with whom they had lost contact over the years.
But fortunately,
Chen Yun’s mory Palace had already transcended that of a normal human.
With a little searching,
He found the mory of this neighbor, Grandma Li, pinching his cheeks when he was five or six years old.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Li, Chen Yun continued to greet several more unfamiliar acquaintances he encountered.
This drew a look of surprise and admiration from Bai Shi and the others, admiring the capability of soone who could rember all his relatives and neighbors.
Soon after,
Chen Yun brought his friends to the apartnt building where he usually lived, and with mixed feelings, he went upstairs and knocked on the door on the left of the third floor.
After a short wait,
The door slowly opened.
That familiar face appeared before him.
Now, Chen Yun could see the wrinkles and signs of age on that face more clearly than ever before.
He could also discern the complex expression mingled with surprise, joy, and longing for what it truly ant.
This caused the emotions he had steadfastly kept in balance with reason to fluctuate slightly.
"Mom, I’m ho."
