Yan Yichen and Yue Junxiao were practically bouncing with excitement, their eyes screaming, 'Let's go, let's go!'
The group boarded the Hovercar once again and headed off to pick up the Flying Sports Car.
Because of the system, Bai Zhi's Flying Sports Car was a pre-order. The moment she arrived, the manager of the Flying Sports Car dealership immediately came forward with a beaming smile. "Welcome, beautiful female. Your car is ready. Would you like us to deliver it to your home?"
Bai Zhi turned and asked, "Do you know how to drive one of these?"
Lang Qiu's ink-black eyes swept over the Flying Sports Cars in the showroom. "I do."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded and told the Beastman manager, "That won't be necessary. We'll drive it back ourselves."
The Beastman manager said, "Of course. Please follow me."
They followed the Beastman manager to the warehouse. It was immense—about three or four stories high, and so wide that she couldn't see the end of it. There weren't many cars inside, only a few dozen, but every single one looked incredible.
Yue Junxiao walked steadily behind Lang Qiu and the others, but his eyes were shining with astonishing brightness as he looked at the amazing cars. He had to suppress the urge to exclaim out loud, instead just tugging on Yan Yichen's arm whenever he saw a car he liked, making him look too.
Just then, the Beastman manager stopped in front of a stunningly cool car and said with a smile, "This is the custom extended-model Flying Sports Car that you ordered."
Everyone turned to look at the extended-model Flying Sports Car parked before them. It was a sapphire-blue sports car with sleek, flowing lines. The interior was incredibly spacious, with enough room to seat six people.
A standard Flying Sports Car could only seat two to four people. Since this one was a custom model, the price was double.
What Beastman doesn't love a Flying Sports Car? Even Sang Mo straightened up slightly, his gaze lingering on the vehicle for a few extra moments.
The moment Lang Qiu saw the sports car, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration. He hadn't expected the Flying Sports Car Bai Zhi ordered to be this big, and he instinctively started walking toward it.
But Yue Junxiao got there before him, dashing over in just a couple of strides. Seeing this, Lang Qiu paused and didn't move any closer.
Yue Junxiao was oblivious to this. He caressed the sports car, then turned his head to ask Bai Zhi, full of eagerness, "Is this car really ours? Can I drive it?"
Bai Zhi lifted her chin slightly. "Of course, you can."
Upon getting her answer, Yue Junxiao pulled open the car door and slid right in. Immediately after, the door on the other side opened, and Yan Yichen got in as well.
After touching every surface he could reach, Yue Junxiao gripped the steering wheel, poked his head out, and grinned at Bai Zhi. "My lady, hurry and get in! I'll take you for a spin!"
Bai Zhi looked at his smile, so full of youthful energy. It was especially heartwarming when his smile revealed two small, sharp canines, and her heart skipped a beat.
'To think that when we first met, he was like a feisty little tiger who made no effort to hide his hostility,' she thought. 'And now, all it takes is a sports car for him to call me 'my lady'.'
She couldn't help but sigh. 'He really is just a kid, so easily pleased.'
Yan Yichen also poked his head out from the other side. "This car is so comfortable! You guys have to get in and try it!"
Bai Zhi smiled. "Alright."
She then noticed that Hu Yan had already opened a door for her like a gentleman. She walked over and sat inside.
Hu Yan, Lang Qiu, and finally Sang Mo followed her in.
The moment everyone was aboard, the car shot forward.
The car had just left the garage when it entered a launch tube and, with a WHOOSH, it was airborne.
The speed was incredible, much faster than any roller coaster she had ever been on. The unprecedented experience terrified her. She squeezed her eyes shut, her face paling and her limbs turning to ice as she subconsciously grabbed onto the "thing" beside her to steady herself.
Hu Yan, sitting beside her, was caught completely off guard when she grabbed his hand. His body tensed at her touch, and he tried to pull his hand away. But at that moment, Bai Zhi wasn't thinking at all. She was clinging to this lifeline for all she was worth; there was no way she would let him go. Feeling him struggle only made her grip tighter.
Lang Qiu noticed Hu Yan's strange reaction and shot him a questioning look, as if asking if he needed help. Hu Yan just shook his head. He had noticed Bai Zhi's body trembling slightly, so he stopped resisting and simply let her hold on.
Lang Qiu understood and called out to the front, "Jun Xiao, slow down a little."
Yue Junxiao sounded baffled. Without turning his head, he said, "Huh? But aren't sports cars supposed to be fast? That's what makes them fun!"
Despite what he said, he obediently slowed the car down.
Once the speed decreased, Bai Zhi's breathing evened out, and the feeling gradually returned to her body. Her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. The view from a Flying Sports Car was different from a Hovercar. A Hovercar's speed was fixed, but a Flying Sports Car was another matter entirely—it gave you the feeling of truly soaring through the sky.
Beastmen love a good thrill, which is why they have a particular fondness for fast vehicles.
The car soon arrived back at the Grand Domain Estate. Since they were in a Flying Sports Car, they didn't use the same entrance as before, but instead stopped at the gate used for flying devices.
When the Beastman guard on duty received the notification that the owner of Building A was arriving, he took a closer look. He was stunned to see it was the same group from earlier—the ones carrying a shabby bag who the other residents had looked down on with contempt. But now, they were driving an extended-model Flying Sports Car!
