“Baby, don’t worry! I will head to East Asia to bring you back sooner or later!” Ling Yun stared at the picture of the Shennong Cauldron’s lid before muttering to himself.

Dugu Mo, who was by the side, heard that and felt goosebumps on his back. He shivered before telling Ling Yun, “Make sure I’m a part of it then!”

Little White’s injuries were healed, and it looked at Ling Yun with its tender and innocent foxy eyes. It smiled sweetly as it wished it could transform as soon as possible.

Ling Yun looked at the picture dazedly for half a day before looking at the Shennong Cauldron beside him. He circled the Shennong Cauldron twice before shaking his head and saying, “I still think that only the name is nice. Other than being cast with bronze and looking extremely traditional, I really cannot tell why this bronze cauldron is unique. Dugu, can you tell?”

Dugu Mo shook his head decisively as he said, “If a genius like you cannot figure it out, there’s no need to ask me! You should hurry and put the cauldron away, let’s leave this place!”

Ling Yun chuckled as he replied, “Didn’t you say we should split this? This thing is too heavy, why don’t you help me carry and run with it…”

Dugu Mo turned pale with fright as he rolled his eyes. “Who’s sharing half with you? One look at the size, and I know that this thing is extremely heavy. Do you think I am Xiang Yu the Conqueror? Carry and run with a cauldron…”

Ling Yun laughed as he grabbed the ear of the Shennong Cauldron with his left hand before sending it into his spatial ring. He turned to instruct Dugu Mo, who was standing there dumbfounded, “Hurry up, inspect the bags and equipment of these corpses. Each of us takes five…”

Dugu Mo was confused as he asked, “They are all dead, what are we checking for?”

Ling Yun smiled faintly as he walked to the corpse of Chen Jianren first and started searching his body. Not long after, he managed to retrieve two bundles of cash from Chen Jianren’s body. He started waving it at Dugu Mo before exclaiming, “See this? We cannot kill others for nothing! We have to claim our rewards.”

Dugu Mo was a pure and honest kid, so he was stunned by Ling Yun’s actions. He muttered to himself, “You can do that?”

Ling Yun was no longer able to find anything from Chen Jianren’s body. Instead, he went over to search Tokugawa Takeshi’s body.

There’s really a communicator!

Ling Yun really did find a communicator on his body, but he didn’t understand such a high technology plaything. Therefore, he simply broke it before tossing it to the side. Following that, Ling Yun turned to Dugu Mo and said, “Besides money, destroy any of those too!”

Dugu Mo was never willing to touch the corpses of the East Asians, but when he understood what Ling Yun was trying to do, he nodded and started helping out.

The two of them started going through every single corpse and even looked through their bags. As long as it was some sort of communicator or probing device, they would immediately smash it. Eventually, they gathered everything that they could burn in the middle before Ling Yun placed a Fire Talisman there to burn everything into ashes.

Ling Yun even managed to retrieve one hundred and eighty thousand dollars from two of the bags. Including the two bundles from Chen Jianren’s body, it rounded up to two hundred thousand. He knew that these two bags should belong to Chen Jianren and Tokugawa Takeshi.

Ling Yun had no use for the ammunition, so he dug a large hole in a concealed shrub to throw everything in before burying it.

“Alright, the rare animals of this forest will take care of these corpses.”

After saying that, Ling Yun brought Little White and followed Chen Jianren’s directions towards the exit of Shennongjia with Dugu Mo.

The pitiful Tokugawa Takeshi was still planning to eat the monkey’s brain. Who would have thought that his body would remain in Shennongjia for the animals to eat him instead!

Chen Jianren had really done a great job. Following the route given by him, Ling Yun and Dugu Mo crossed four mountain ridges and finally saw a public road.

Ling Yun had already stored Dugu Mo’s sword into his spatial ring before turning Little White into her one tail form again. Earlier, Dugu Mo had already witnessed Little White’s technique, so he didn’t ask much.

On their way out to the road, they came across over ten clear water springs. With the spring water, they had already cleansed themselves of the bloodstains. With clean clothes, they charged out onto the road.

Even though there were no more bloodstains on the clothes, their sudden appearance in their drenched clothing scared the hell out of the tourists on the road. The tourists had even thought that they were savages of Shennongjia.

This was mainly because of their torn clothes from all the battling and running through forests and mountains. The shirts were no longer comparable to those that they would wear on the streets.

However, after realizing that the two of them weren’t as tall as the savages were rumored to be, the tourists gathered their courage to surround them. They started asking them if they were okay.

Ling Yun already had his excuses prepared, saying that they were tourists touring Shennongjia. In the end, the two of them accidentally got lost and wandered around the forest for one whole night before they finally found the public road.

Ling Yun pretended to have forgotten the date as he confirmed the date with the other tourists. When he finally confirmed that today was indeed the 12th of April, Saturday, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.

It wasn’t even eight in the morning yet, so no matter what he did, he had to return to Qingshui City before midnight. This was so that he wouldn’t technically have missed Ning Er’s birthday.

There were many mini buses for tourists in Shennongjia, and the two of them managed to flag one down very quickly. Initially, the driver didn’t wish to stop for the two of them after looking at how they were dressed. However, Ling Yun pulled out a red-colored hundred dollar bill which lit up the driver’s eyes.

He didn’t question much as he invited Ling Yun and Dugu Mo onto his vehicle politely before asking for their destination.

Dugu Mo told him that Muyuzhen was the first destination, and the faster he got there, the more money he would be given. Naturally, the driver drove at an insane speed. Even though it was a Saturday, there wasn’t much traffic at eight in the morning. With the speed that he was driving at, they only took twenty minutes to reach Muyuzhen.

Ling Yun was very generous as he gave the driver one thousand dollars before asking him for directions. He instantly swapped for a car meant to pick up tourists.

“How long do you need to drive from where we are to Yichang?”

With money, you could do anything you like. The moment Ling Yun got in the car, he slapped a bundle of hundred dollar bills on his hand as he asked the driver.

“I will need about two and a half hours to travel at an ordinary speed and cover 170km!” The driver’s heart was beating fast as he replied.

Ling Yun laughed out loud. “Alright, how much does it cost to get me to Yichang?”

The driver thought for a while before answering, “One thousand dollars!”

Ling Yun smiled as he replied, “I’ll give you two thousand dollars. We will gauge from the two-and-a-half-hour mark. For every thirty minutes in advance you manage to get me to Yichang, I’ll give you an additional five hundred dollars. Do what you want!”

The driver was over the moon as he drove at the fastest speed he could possibly drive. The car was literally driving at its limit! The driver didn’t even attempt to strike a conversation as his foot was on the accelerator pedal all the way!

In the end, he only took slightly more than an hour to reach Yichang when it was supposed to take two and a half hours. After the driver stopped the car, he wiped his sweat and told Ling Yun, “Little brother, I really went over the speed limit throughout the entire journey, which is why we arrived so early! I think the traffic police are really going to fine me quite a bit of money!”

Ling Yun chuckled as he immediately took out five thousand dollars and placed it in his hands. “Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you. Here is five thousand dollars, help me find another good car. The faster, the better!”

The driver looked confused as he asked, “Why are you guys in such a hurry? Where are you guys heading to? Why don’t you just take the plane from Yichang?”

Ling Yun shook his head as he gave a bitter smile. “Look at us, we are going to the Northern Hubei province but lost our IDs in Shennongjia. Forget about taking the plane, we can’t even take the train like that, right?”

The driver pondered for a while as he wondered how they lost their IDs but still carried so much money on them. It seemed like they were more willing to risk their life than part with their money.

However, looking at the money given to him, he didn’t continue questioning and simply laughed it off. “Then you’ve found the right person. I have a friend who is specialized in traveling there. However, he drives a BMW, so you must be able to afford it. I’ll give him a call now!”

Ling Yun nodded as he smiled. “Alright, I’ll give as much as you want as long as it is fast enough!”

Just like that, Ling Yun and Dugu Mo got in a BMW. Ling Yun took out ten thousand dollars and handed it to the driver for him to drive as fast as he could!

Naturally, the speed of a BMW was much greater than the previous car. The driver was also a racing enthusiast, so after reaching the maximum speed of 180km/hour, he didn’t slow down at all. To cover a 300km route, he only took about two hours, and they finally reached Wuhan.

During the ride, the driver found out that Ling Yun’s ultimate destination was the capital of Jiangnan Province, so he offered to drive them all the way to Qingshui City.

Ling Yun thought for a while before asking, “How far is Qingshui City from here?”

The driver answered, “About 800km, but with my speed and the potential delay on the road, it should take a maximum of six hours!”

Ling Yun smiled as he asked, “Can your body take it if you continue to drive so fast?”

The driver snickered as he replied, “To be honest, it isn’t good for the body to drive at this speed for such a long period. However, who’s going to feed my family if I don’t do it? As long as brother can offer enough money, I promise to bring you back to Qingshui City safely and in the shortest possible time! I’ll definitely not let you miss your girlfriend’s birthday!”

Ling Yun laughed out loud. “Alright, just let me know how much you want!”

The driver was very direct as he immediately replied, “From Yichang to Wuhan, you gave me ten thousand dollars, which is considered very good. To be honest, it was enough for me to go to Qingshui and return home. However, you look like you don’t lack in money…”

Ling Yun stopped him from talking and told him to state his price directly.

The driver said twenty thousand dollars, and Ling Yun agreed without hesitation. Following that, they found a petrol station to fill up the petrol as Ling Yun and Dugu Mo went to find a clothing shop to change into new clothes. After having a simple meal, they left towards Qingshui City of Jiangnan Province at about one in the afternoon.

The driver was right because after he went into top speed, besides a few checkpoints, his car’s speed had never dropped below 130km/hour throughout the entire journey.

At around 7:30pm, Ling Yun and Dugu Mo finally returned to Qingshui City!

Over 1100km, Ling Yun and Dugu Mo traveled from 7:30am to 7:30pm and spent over thirty thousand dollars just like that! How luxurious!
