Chapter 118 - This is a Pear?
Li Nianfan followed Qin Manyun and the others. Then, he saw a big skyship nearby.
The skyship was huge. It was oval and white. It was technically an air balloon. One could fly and live in it.
It was much cooler than the airplanes from the past realm. The Immortal Realm was awesome at producing items like this.
The door of the skyship opened while Li Nianfan was observing it. Qin Manyun said, “After you, Mr. Li.”
Li Nianfan nodded and headed into the skyship with everyone.
The interior design was not much different from his house. It was spacious and had different rooms.
Li Nianfan noticed the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu’s mouths were open in astonishment. This skyship must be expensive.
He knew at that moment that Qin Manyun was a rich lady in the Immortal Realm. This skyship was the equivalent of a private jet in the past realm.
Zhou Dacheng headed straight to the front deck of the skyship.
After a short while, the skyship was rising. Then, it beamed toward the sky.
Li Nianfan was curious. He took Daji to the front deck once the skyship was stable.
The front deck was huge and had a wide open space. He could see the blue sky. He felt like he was flying in the clouds.
There were sparks all around the skyship. These sparks formed a light shield, blocking the strong winds at the front deck.
He looked down and saw a thick layer of white clouds. It was like a big cotton field.
Li Nianfan looked at the two trails of white clouds they left. He took a deep breath and felt relaxed. He was in a great mood.
He needed to travel more often. How exciting it was to be flying.
He gazed upon the horizon. A big, golden ball was in the sky. The sun was gentler in the morning as the sunlight was not too bright.
Li Nianfan focused and smiled.
He saw another ship pass them by. It was shaped like a ship in the ocean, except it was in the air.
Soon, someone riding on a giant white crane passed by. A group of people was surfing on a mega flying sword right after that. They were chatting and laughing, wearing flowy clothes. They looked awesome.
The Immortal Realm was fascinating.
Too bad he was not a cultivator and could not do anything. How miserable.
Zhou Dacheng said, “Mr. Li, we’re far away from Azure Ville. Maybe you should rest in your room?”
There was a stone wall with some sort of markings in front of him. Zhou Dacheng was driving the skyship with it.
Li Nianfan curiously asked, “Brother Zhou, how long will it take for us to reach Azure Ville?”
Brother Zhou answered, “About a day and a night if there are no detours.”
So far?
Li Nianfan was slightly baffled.
This skyship was much faster than an airplane in the past realm. Yet, it would take them a day and a night?
How big was the Immortal Realm?
“Oh, yeah. Brother Zhou, you mentioned detours. Are there detours in the sky?” asked Li Nianfan.
Zhou Dacheng smiled. “Mr. Li, there are Fiery Nebulas in the night. If we encounter one, we have no choice but to take a detour. If we’re unlucky, it might take more than three days for us to reach.”
“I see.” Li Nianfan arched his eyebrow and said, “Hopefully we’re lucky and can reach earlier.”
He took out three pears from the System Space and passed one over to Zhou Dacheng. He smiled and said, “Here you go, Brother Zhou. This is a homegrown pear from my backyard. I hope you don’t mind.”
Buzz!
Zhou Dacheng was buzzing. He was stumped.
He looked at the pear and thought he was dreaming.
Qin Manyun repeatedly reminded him before they departed that everything from the expert was valuable treasure. He would be lucky to try anything for even the water the expert drank was Spiritual Water. He was also told that he needed to be mentally prepared and act like everything was alright. He could not drop the act just because he was too excited.
He dreamt about this. He thought countless times about how to impress the expert during this tag-along opportunity so that the expert would slip him some benefits.
However, he did not expect the expert would simply give him a pear that easily!
This blessing was so unexpected, he almost went stiff!
‘Calm down, I have to stay calm. The Saintess was right. As long as I stay calm and carry on around the expert, I’ll get lucky with the benefits. It’s not about anything else. It’s about a state of mind.’
Zhou Dacheng took a deep breath to stop himself from tearing up. He said in a hoarse voice, “Of course, I don’t mind. Thank you, Mr. Li.”
Li Nianfan smiled. “You’re welcome. It’s just a pear.”
Zhou Dacheng carefully took the pear and observed it.
The pear was smooth all over. Its surface was glossy, too. It was like a half-translucent Jade. Light would shine through if you placed it under the sunlight.
He could smell the fragrance of the pear. He looked like he enjoyed it.
This pear…was extraordinary!
Zhou Dacheng felt like his heart was racing. He gulped and could not control himself anymore. He chomped down on the pear.
Crunch—
The pear was juicy.
The intense flavor of the juice burst into his mouth like water in a popped balloon, leaving a trace of deliciousness.
He was instantly hydrated as if he had just chugged a mouthful of water.
The sweet and sour flavor was remarkable in his mouth.
Yum—
It sent a shiver down his spine. Zhou Dacheng almost gave out.
‘So delicious—Is this really a pear? How could it be so delicious?!’
Zhou Dacheng thought he was mentally ready for it, but he underestimated the pear.
The deliciousness changed his whole perspective of food.
He was gradually losing control. He only had one thought in his mind, ‘Eat it! Eat it!’
Crunch!
He chomped on the pear like a pig eating cabbages. He wanted to devour the entire pear.
It took no time at all for him to finish the pear. The flesh of the fruit was entirely gone with no remains. Only the core was left.
“Yummy! Nice!”
Zhou Dacheng exhaled and felt a newfound satisfaction. He would be howling if it was not for his remaining restraint.
