Chapter 400: Cai'er's Fantasy Journey II

~8 min read 1,481 words

Looking at the steel behemoth with streamlined contours before them

Zhao Wei, Cai'er, and Xu Miao, the three leaders, were all stunned, their slightly parted mouths unable to close for a long time

Cheng Yi, meanwhile, was silently recording the spectacular moment before him

The people Cheng Feng had arranged for this trip were all his own women

The accompanying handmaidens were also relatively close and reliable

One could even say they were candidates from his own Rear Courtyard

Selecting the best from the good,

Selecting the finest from the refined,

Ever since Cheng Feng discovered that the operation he had created had grown too large,

He understood that some of his secrets had to be brought out and shared

Some matters needed to be arranged and managed by his own people

But some matters needed to be handled by those closest to him

For instance, the Sun, which was being used for this trip

With war imminent, Cheng Feng simply could not afford to think too much

Silver, personnel, and the transport for the trip all had to be decided upon quickly

And these people traveling were the family members Cheng Feng trusted

Trust, that thing

Is easy to talk about, but difficult to put into practice

This was also the first step in the plan Cheng Feng had made

Reveal a portion of the secrets first, then go from there

If they really had to rely on horse-drawn carriages to travel, they would likely run their legs off

And if they encountered displaced people or Mountain Bandits on the road, the whole family would truly be done for

After introducing the name of the Sun, Cheng Yi began to act immediately, waving one arm: "Please, ladies."

Zhao Wei, Cai'er, and the other women all looked toward the Sun,

Immediately, the single side door of the Sun slowly opened in a mechanical and elegant manner,

Revealing an interior with a style completely different from the norm, filled with exotic flair.

Yet, watching the behemoth open its door automatically, revealing the empty inner chamber,

Everyone was filled with astonishment

After all, where had they ever seen such a magical thing

The door could even open by itself???

Fortunately, the artificial intelligence of the Sun could communicate with Cheng Yi's signals

In Cheng Feng's arrangements, it was also presented to others through Cheng Yi, this humanoid robot

Taking it one step at a time, he could minimize the impact

Cheng Feng was also quite helpless; if not for the fact that the Red Lotus Sect rebel army was about to arrive,

He would not have wanted the people around him to come into contact with these special things so early

Zhao Wei, Cai'er, and the other women exchanged glances,

This time, their eyes held not only curiosity but also a trace of wariness,

After all, this mysterious vehicle named the Sun, from its name to its interior, exuded an unusual aura.

The smooth, special steel floor reflected a cold metallic luster under the lights,

Forming a sharp contrast with the vibrant world of surrounding mountains outside.

The choice of this material both highlighted the sturdiness and durability of the Sun and revealed a texture of future technology.

In the eyes of the women, this cold steel floor was like an invisible barrier, isolating them from the world outside.

Two rows of soft seats along the sides were arranged inside the carriage in a nearly luxurious manner.

The material of the seats looked both soft and comfortable, and they were embroidered with exquisite patterns that echoed the exotic flair inside.

"What... is this thing?" Zhao Wei's voice carried a hint of uncertainty,

Her eyes wandered around the carriage, trying to find an answer.

Cai'er held Zhao Wei's hand tightly; her eyes were also full of wariness, but even more so curiosity: "I don't know, but it looks... like a carriage???"

"Everyone be careful, look after one another."

The women nodded one after another; although their hearts were full of wariness,

That curiosity about the unknown drove them to want to further explore this mysterious Sun.

They believed that Cheng Feng's arrangements would not harm them

Zhao Wei and Xu Miao took the lead, guiding everyone inside

Cheng Yi stood by the carriage door, watching the women's reactions with an expressionless face.

"Ladies, please rest assured. This Sun will take you to Heimu Prefecture; according to the Master's calculations, it is expected to take two hours," Cheng Yi said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the women were even more shocked

"No way?

Just a moment ago, they were saying the journey to Heimu Prefecture was long and that they might even encounter Mountain Bandits or displaced people

Now? Now? What is going on?"

Xiao Tao, the handmaiden beside Cai'er, said as if it were a matter of course: "Need you ask?

Such an Immortal mount must be a fortuitous encounter of the Master's."

Just like in the storybooks, the Master must have encountered an Immortal when he was young and even helped that Immortal out.

The Immortal took a liking to the Master's kind heart and honest nature, so he bestowed a stroke of fortune upon the Master."

Watching everyone listening in a daze,

even the robot Cheng Yi was somewhat stunned.

Even a sentient intelligent robot wanted to share what technology was at this moment.

Fortunately, Cheng Yi had no temper and simply recorded everything before him in silence.

As they stepped onto the stairs, the metallic texture of the steel made everyone curious about Cheng Feng's past.

They all began asking Cai'er what kind of person the Master was before.

Cai'er only explained indifferently: "He was just an Ordinary person, nothing special."

Unable to get an answer, everyone began their own brainstorming.

Among them, Xiao Tao's theory about an encounter with an Immortal and receiving a miraculous opportunity was the most accepted and agreed upon.

After everyone was seated according to their status, Cheng Yi reminded them: "Everyone may rest for a while, take a short nap.

In two hours, we will arrive at Heimu Prefecture.

Sun, depart."

As Cheng Yi's words fell, the Sun surged up on the spot, its stealthy iridescent mode fully activated.

The slight pressure during takeoff made everyone somewhat unaccustomed.

Xiao Tao said in disbelief: "Have we... flown up?"

Cheng Yi replied coldly: "Yes, this is the Master's exclusive mode of transport, and also the reliance that allows us to reach Heimu Prefecture quickly."

Xiao Tao was prepared to ask something more.

Zhao Wei realized what was happening and said sternly: "No one is to spread word of today's events, otherwise..."

Seeing Zhao Wei's severity, everyone woke up to the situation and all agreed.

Being stared at by Zhao Wei, the Head of the Family's wife,

Xiao Tao was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly and said no more.

The people inside the room either talked in low voices or closed their eyes to rest, all immersed in their own thoughts.

Xiao Tao was so excited that her cheeks were flushed, as if she had personally witnessed the heroic feats of her Master in his youth.

From time to time, she pulled the sisters beside her to share her "conclusive evidence," her words full of reverence and pride for Cheng Feng.

As Cheng Feng's first woman, Cai'er instead thought more deeply.

Following by Cheng Feng's side, the thoughts that Cheng Feng occasionally revealed which surpassed ordinary people,

even if Cai'er did not understand them, she would silently keep them in her heart.

And now, what Cai'er worried about more was the situation of her own man.

Zhao Wei and Xu Miao did not think much; for a Martial Artist, confidence in oneself is what matters most.

The mission of this trip was to protect Cai'er and her group.

Cheng Yi sat quietly to one side, his gaze passing through the window lattice, cast toward the gradually blurring outlines of the mountains in the distance.

Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere inside the room gradually became tranquil and peaceful.

Without the excitement and danger they had imagined, the women gradually relaxed.

Only the occasional whispers and the occasional soft sound of cushions,

reminded the passengers inside the vehicle that they were aboard a flying carriage that transcended the era.

Two hours passed in a flash.

When Cheng Yi spoke again, his voice clearly spread to every corner: "Everyone, we are about to arrive at Heimu Prefecture. Please tidy up your belongings and prepare to disembark."

And the women sitting in the carriage who had not turned on the panoramic exterior view breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It would be a lie to say they had no reaction to riding such a mount for the first time.

Even if the carriage was silent and noiseless, the inner experience was not something an ordinary person could measure.
