Back at the villa where the two of them were staying, Orange had a Chinese meal, then went back to take a shower and go to bed.
After all, she had been severely sleep-deprived for the past few days, and she was going to the extremely dangerous Jingyang Mountain Range tomorrow, so she naturally needed to be well-rested.
Bai Zhou, on the other hand, is reassured by Cultivate.
It wasn't until late at night, after Orange had fallen asleep, that we continued.
As usual, Bai Zhou took a stroll through Ming Capital and used " Darkness Enslavement " to take control of one of Xu Tianran's men.
In the past three days, he has taken control of five of Xu Tianran's personal guards.
After all, Xu Tianran's personal guards couldn't protect him every moment; they would always have to go out on errands.
Bai Zhou seized this opportunity to make his move.
Of course, he controlled Xu Tianran's men not to use them to launch a sneak attack on Xu Tianran, but simply to use them as spies to report on Xu Tianran's various actions and schemes at all times.
After all, Xu Tianran has seven or eight level nine defense spirit tools, so he is not afraid of backstabbing at all.
Bai Zhou simply felt that the current time was not suitable for taking action and did not want to clash with Xu Tianran, which is why he controlled Xu Tianran's subordinates to provide himself with some protection.
Through Xu Tianran's personal guards, Bai Zhou also confirmed that Xu Tianran had not paid much attention to Ju Zi these past few days, but instead had been associating with some men in black robes.
Bai Zhou knew perfectly well that these men in black robes were members of the Holy Spirit Church.
It's certain that Xu Tianran reached some kind of agreement with the other party.
Bai Zhou strongly suspects that the sudden deaths of Xu Tianran's brothers were likely orchestrated by the Holy Spirit Church.
However, Bai Zhou wouldn't bother with such trivial matters, since there are still several princes in the royal family.
Bai Zhou has already selected Prince Puppet as his successor, intending to enslave him. This would make his subsequent plans within Ming Capital much easier to implement.
...
...
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
A thin mist hung in the air, like a light veil draped over the earth.
Bai Zhou and Ju Zi got up early and had breakfast. As the sun rose, they left Ming Capital and headed towards Jingyang Mountain Range.
"Click-click—" Once outside Ming Capital, Orange immediately donned her own flight spirit tool.
Her flying spirit tool is orange, which is obviously one of oranges' favorite colors.
The wings of the flying spirit tool spread open, and with a light touch of the toes, the flying spirit tool burst forth with two blasts of ice-blue tail flames, lifting the orange into its mouth.
Bai Zhou looked up.
Hmm, what a pity...
Today, Orange isn't wearing a dress, but rather her combat gear for the field.
He wore a leather jacket on top, and black leather shorts and combat boots on the bottom.
The exposed section of her fleshy, snow-white long legs was covered by a pair of very thin, sheer stockings, instantly drawing Bai Zhou's attention.
"Idiot, what are you looking at? Where's your flying spirit tool?" Orange noticed a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in Bai Zhou's eyes and immediately became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
Bai Zhou, that big pervert! I saw it last time, and he wants to see it again this time. That's really too much!
"Oh, here it comes."
Bai Zhou didn't hesitate and immediately summoned his fighter jet, the same one that had flown with Xian Liner last time, which he hadn't used in a long time.
Previously, his spirit power was a bit lacking, and piloting such a large flying spirit tool consumed a little of his spirit power.
Now, with his spirit power seemingly inexhaustible, Bai Zhou plans to go back and modify the flying spirit tool again, adding dozens more Mind-Cultivation Technique arrays to maximize its speed.
"Whoosh—"
Bai Zhou entered his fighter jet.
The fighter jet instantly emitted a six- barreled exhaust flame with a diameter of half a meter from its base, launched itself into the air, and then circled the orange several times.
Orange's flying spirit tool has only two power ports, and the exhaust flame is only ten centimeters in diameter, small and weak.
There's absolutely no need for comparison; Bai Zhou's flying spirit tool is far faster than Orange's.
"What...what level of spirit tool is this...aren't you afraid of draining the spirit power?!" Orange was stunned and dumbfounded when she saw this.
The rank of a flight spirit tool can basically be determined by the number of energy nozzles and the width of the exhaust plume.
With the power of Bai Zhou's flying spirit, could it be the legendary level nine flying spirit?
Even Xuan Ziwen's flying spirit tool isn't this exaggerated...!
Not only that, almost all flying spirit tools strive for lightness, but Bai Zhou's flying spirit tool is so huge! How does it even fly?! Wow!
Most importantly...
Isn't Bai Zhou supposed to be the Spirit Emperor?
Just how terrifying is his spirit power to control such a massive flying spirit? He's a monster!
Orange felt that her understanding of flying spirit tools had been completely overturned, and her head was buzzing.
"Whoosh—"
Just as Ju Zi was stunned, Bai Zhou piloted his fighter jet and hovered directly in front of her.
"Click—"
The transparent windproof crystal canopy on the fighter jet slowly opened, revealing Bai Zhou's radiant smile.
"My flying soul guide is faster, come on up, I'll take you." Bai Zhou patted the slightly empty space next to his seat.
"Hmph, at least you've got the guts."
With a soft snort, Ju Zi placed one hand on the outer edge of Bai Zhou's fighter jet, then instantly retracted the flight spirit tool behind her. With a powerful leap, she landed next to Bai Zhou.
Although she had many questions in her mind, she didn't ask them aloud, deciding to enjoy herself first.
At least, riding in Bai Zhou's 'ride' feels really good. The leather seats are soft and there are windproof covers, making it far more comfortable than her own flying spirit tool.
"It's a bit crowded..."
Once Orange sat down, she realized that the chair seemed a bit cramped, and she and Bai Zhou were almost touching.
Although she didn't mind, she still felt that something was off.
"Ahem, every little bit of weight added to the flight spirit tool requires several times more spirit power to take off. I'm doing this to reduce the weight."
Bai Zhou's first words are utter nonsense.
After all, she deliberately only set up one large seat so that she could sit close to Ju Zi. He would sit on the left and Ju Zi on the right, making it a comfortable space to squeeze together.
"Oh, is that so..." Orange nodded as if she understood, but still felt something was off.
Let's go!
Bai Zhou chuckled, and terrifying spirit power instantly flowed into the flying spirit tool through the transmission channel beneath his feet.
"boom--"
The four- bladed, thick blue tail flames erupted instantly, exceeding the speed of sound in just a few seconds. The enormous recoil forced Orange to press tightly against the seat.
"Ah! Slow down!" Orange seemed to be riding in such a fast flying spirit for the first time, and was obviously a little scared. She immediately threw herself into Bai Zhou's arms.
"Haha, okay, okay, it'll be done soon~"
Bai Zhou also unceremoniously reached out and put his arm around Ju Zi's slender waist, laughing heartily.
After accelerating for about twenty seconds, the speed stabilized.
The desolate landscape beneath our feet was also rushing past.
At this speed, it should take less than half an hour to reach Jingyang Mountain Range, saving several hours of time.
