Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Did You Underestimate Your Future
"Xiyan, what do you think?"
"Let's start from Dengzhou, we have our people there, and it's safe to reach the Capital City, just nine days. Once you're out of the Capital City, we'll make the next arrangents."
"Nine days, plus four days to get here, that's too long." Qi Yue frowned, "I want to arrive in one day."
"Does Yueyue have any good ideas?" Zhao Xiyan's heart leapt.
Ever since he had learned that Qi Yue ca from a highly advanced civilization, he knew that anything she ntioned was not just talk, she could definitely make it happen.
If she could really make it in one day, then does that an he could go too?
One day, if anything happens, there would be enough ti to go back and forth.
"Well, there is a way, but its speed isn't fast enough. To get to the Capital City, it would take at least two to three days, depending on the wind direction."
Qi Yue pondered the sightseeing hot air balloon she had stockpiled in her space.
Now that it was autumn and winter, the wind direction was suitable. With good control, it might be possible to arrive in just over a day.
When she looked up and saw the changing expressions on Zhao Xiyan's face, a mix of disappointnt and anticipation, Qi Yue instantly understood.
"What's that expression for? Do you want to go? Forget about it. Unless I learn how to fly a plane."
Her Space Mall did allow her to order a personal airplane, with customization options available.
She had actually customized one when she had nothing else to do, and it was sitting in the backyard of her clinic space.
When she tried to fly it for the first ti, it nearly gave her a terrible headache.
All the talk of power units, operating systems, takeoff, ascent, cruising, descent principles and thods... The mont Qi Yue looked at those professional terms, her mind buzzed.
Although it had an autopilot system, it was useless in this world without internet, and if extre weather or special situations arose, without understanding the basic principles, she might very well be dood.
She didn't want to risk her life just to fly a plane.
"What's a plane?" Zhao Xiyan asked curiously.
His handso nose wrinkled slightly, his soft, affectionate lips parted slightly, instantly adding a charmingly silly flavor to his beautiful face.
Qi Yue's heart softened at the sight, and she took his hand and ran towards the backyard.
"I'll take you to see it."
She rembered that there was an open space behind the Qingyue Pavilion where Zhao Xiyan lived, probably used for martial arts training, which was definitely large enough to accommodate the plane.
There were almost no people in Zhao Xiyan's yard. Aside from Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai serving close by, only the steward would occasionally co in, so it was very quiet.
Upon entering the Qingyue Pavilion, Zhao Xiyan gestured with his hand and the guards at the door quickly retreated.
The two made their way to the open space in the backyard, and Qi Yue estimated the middle of the pen area to choose a landing spot for the plane.
The next second, with a thought, the plane stored in her space materialized before them.
The plane's body was pure white, reflecting a pearly shine in the sunlight.
Looking through the cabin door, one could see the seats inside as well as all sorts of strange instrunts and panels flashing red and green lights.
"Look, this is called a plane. If you know how to fly it, it could get to the Beiyuan Kingdom's Capital City in just a few shichen."
As Qi Yue spoke, she was about to give Zhao Xiyan a proper introduction, but then she saw him touching one of the plane's wings with his hand.
He touched and let go, then touched again, even shaking it vigorously – the very image of a curious baby.
It was hilariously adorable.
She had no idea of the turmoil inside Zhao Xiyan.
For him, witnessing such a bird-like colossal object suddenly appear before his eyes was no less shocking than learning about Qi Yue's background.
"This thing can fly?"
"Of course, but it can't right now." Qi Yue pouted, "I can't learn to operate it."
"Let's go inside and have a look."
Seeing that Zhao Xiyan was quite interested, Qi Yue didn't want to dampen his spirits and imdiately opened the cabin door.
One after the other, they boarded the plane, and Qi Yue introduced the plane's interior features to Zhao Xiyan.
Seeing how attentively he listened, like a student, Qi Yue had an impulse to let him learn to fly.
But she thought better of it.
Although a plane is great, it poses life-threatening risks, so it's best not to ddle.
Turning around, however, she saw Zhao Xiyan engrossed in the operation manual he had found, reading it with great interest.
He pointed to a few words mixed in the middle and asked, "Yueyue, what language is this?"
Qi Yue told him it ant an English button, and he imdiately said, "I understand. Your place is the sa as here; there are different countries and different languages, but the anings are the sa."
It must be said, his understanding was spot on, and Qi Yue couldn't help but nod.
Zhao Xiyan held the instruction manual and carefully studied the illustrations on it.
Qi Yue couldn't help but doubt if he could really learn to fly a plane.
After all, it wouldn't be surprising for soone to learn how to operate a small Cessna after a few dozen hours.
Just as she thought this, she heard Zhao Xiyan suddenly say, "Yueyue, I think I know how to fly this plane."
Qi Yue was quite taken aback by his words.
"Ah, you just glanced at it and you know how to fly?"
"Mm, but I think this place won't do. We need to find another location."
Qi Yue rolled her eyes. He seed pretty knowledgeable?
"Of course, not. It's powered by a propeller; it needs at least a one hundred eighty-ter runway."
Considering that Zhao Xiyan probably didn't understand how long one hundred eighty ters was, Qi Yue did a quick ntal conversion and added, "That's about half a li."
Zhao Xiyan nodded.
"Yueyue, pack up the plane, and let's try Flat Peak Mountain."
As soon as she heard 'Flat Peak Mountain,' Qi Yue's eyes lit up.
"You're thinking of test-flying on the summit of Flat Peak Mountain?"
"Mm," Zhao Xiyan nodded, "Don't you think that place is very suitable?"
Flat Peak Mountain was thirty li outside the town.
The mountain was quite peculiar, about seven hundred ters tall, but with a flat summit.
There was a local legend about Flat Peak Mountain.
It was said that a celestial master once passed by this place, looking for a spot to ditate and rest. However, the mountain was overgrown with thorns, and crawling with snakes and bugs. The celestial master, displeased, drew a sharp sword and with a sideways slice, sent the entire mountaintop flying, thus creating a flat space.
Afterward, no grass would grow in that place; it was smooth as a mirror. Therefore, the locals also called it Flat Peak Mountain.
"Suitable it is." Qi Yue hesitated for a mont, "But I'm worried you can't handle it!"
Zhao Xiyan just smiled at her.
"What, doubting your future husband again?"
Qi Yue's face turned red, and she giggled.
"Not really. I'm just concerned. When I first got this thing, I studied it for a few shichen and even fell asleep... without learning anything."
Zhao Xiyan ruffled her hair.
"That's right, leave such rough work to ."
Qi Yue smiled, but inside she felt awkward.
Flying a plane is rough work? Then what refined tasks was she left with?
Seeing Zhao Xiyan's confidence, she couldn't help but remind him.
"Are you sure you can fly it? Once this thing is up in the air, it's serious business. If it crashes, people can die."
"Don't worry. We haven't married yet, and we haven't grown old together. Neither of us can afford an accident."
As Zhao Xiyan spoke, he ruffled her hair again, thoroughly ssing it up, but with a gentle twist, he imdiately fixed it.
As their gazes t, Zhao Xiyan's tender look instantly cald the worries in Qi Yue's heart.
Okay then, this man is a genius and a War God; he might understand it all with just a glance!
"Alright then, let's go now while it's still early."
"Okay."
The two imdiately disembarked from the plane, and with a wave of her hand, Qi Yue stowed it away.
Half an hour later, the two rode out of Yecheng on their horses, quietly leaving the city.
Thirty li, and considering the ti for climbing the mountain as well, it took them only half a shichen to arrive.
