Chapter 238: Chapter 181 New Home Overnight_2And it features low-altitude flying with a speed exceeding 1000 kilometers per hour! Its market price is over fifty million Ya Yuan. Ji Xinghuo got into the car, which could only seat two people, with plenty of space, and the seat underneath felt very comfortable and enveloping. He turned his head to look around the interior of the flying car and smiled, "This is my first time in a flying car; it’s indeed luxurious." "It’s just a means of transportation," Zhao Manying, in the driver’s seat, said indifferently, "If you like it, I can give you one." "I’d better not." Ji Xinghuo quickly shook his head, as flying was the ability he was most fond of and had dreamed of acquiring since childhood. Being able to fly was better than any means of transportation. "I’m not particularly interested in cars; if I need one, I’ll just borrow one from you," he said. "Sure!" Zhao Manying gladly agreed and started the autonomous driving system; the flying car started smoothly and began to move slowly towards the exit of the parking lot. At that moment, an engine roar came from behind, another maglev flying car quickly caught up and slowed down just as it was about to overtake, the driver rolled down the window, and it was Shi Renzhong. He turned his head toward them, his gaze piercing through the car window glass, nodded at Zhao Manying as a greeting, and it landed on Ji Xinghuo in the passenger seat. A friendly smile appeared on Shi Renzhong’s face. Ji Xinghuo nodded back. With a roar, Shi Renzhong’s flying car instantly accelerated and sped away. The two inside the car remained silent until the maglev flying car left Tianqin Sports Stadium and entered the Superconductive Highway, then Zhao Manying said, "Don’t be deceived by his apparent politeness; he’s already plotting against you, so you need to be extra careful." "I hope he doesn’t disappoint me," Ji Xinghuo laughed, then curiously asked, "Did he try to interfere when others approached you in the past too?" "Likely." Zhao Manying’s eyes harbored a coldness, "When I was 18, I became famous as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and he immediately came to invite me to join his club. I could tell he was no good person from our first encounter and did not agree immediately; it took two more years until I felt strong enough to join the team." "He has been vigorously pursuing me ever since, but I have rejected him." "But he has never given up. The club is under his control, and many of his spies are around me, even within my personal team." "Some men who tried to pursue me were blocked by him using various means." "Sometimes, I have to thank him for saving me a lot of trouble." Zhao Manying continued, her expression complex, "Shi Renzhong wants to prove his worth to his father, devotes himself wholeheartedly to managing the club, built a team around me, supports me unconditionally, and has hired the top coaching team. He deserves some credit for the honors and strength I have today." "Heh..." Ji Xinghuo laughed, "The more he invests in you, the angrier he becomes towards me." Zhao Manying glanced sideways at him, "Who told you to pluck the peach?" "I merely nibbled on the peach skin, still uncertain when I’ll get to eat the peach," Ji Xinghuo said with a face of injustice. She just announced in the box earlier that we were living together, but I’ve only gotten to second base. "You can’t rush to eat a ripe peach," Zhao Manying’s cheeks colored slightly red. Ji Xinghuo appraised her attractive figure up and down and teased, "Why do I feel like the peach is already ripe? If we wait any longer, it will fall to the ground." "Nonsense!" Zhao Manying’s ears turned fully red. Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but lean in to nibble on the peach skin when his phone suddenly rang, stiffening his expression. Zhao Manying took the opportunity to regain her composure and moved back to her seat. "Damn it..." Ji Xinghuo took out his mobile phone to see that it was Lu Yunhai calling. After answering, Lu Yunhai’s face appeared on the screen, extremely excited, he shouted, "Damn! Xinghuo, I was just at the archery hall for class, and as soon as it ended, I saw all these explosive news. Dude, you’re dating Sword Immortal and you didn’t tell me..." He babbled a lot incoherently but didn’t notice Ji Xinghuo’s darkened expression. It took a minute before Lu Yunhai asked, "Xinghuo, where are you?" "In the car." "Car?" Lu Yunhai looked puzzled, "Where are you heading this late? Ah, you still haven’t told me how you met the Sword Immortal, what’s it like dating the global goddess?" Before Ji Xinghuo could respond, he slapped his thigh, "I suddenly remembered, in our junior year, a few classmates gathered for a meal, and someone asked if you could pick anyone to be your girlfriend, who would it be, we all chose Sword Immortal. We were all just joking, but you, my boy, took it seriously. I bet they all want to interrogate you now..." S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ji Xinghuo listened with some embarrassment. To avoid Lu Yunhai revealing more embarrassing stories, he turned the screen towards the driver’s seat. Zhao Manying appeared on the camera, and she smiled at Lu Yunhai on the screen, greeting, "Hello, Yunhai." Ji Xinghuo had told her that Lu Yunhai was his best friend. "Ah?" Lu Yunhai’s expression froze for a few seconds, his face turning red before he managed to say, "Hello, hello! Sword Immortal, my girlfriend and I are your die-hard fans. I won’t disturb you guys anymore. Xinghuo, let’s go out together next time; I’ll treat you to a meal. Goodbye." Then he hung up the phone. Ji Xinghuo was at a loss for words while Zhao Manying was all smiles, "Your friend is quite interesting." "That’s just his personality, quite passionate and values friendships a lot, a friend worth deepening ties with," said Ji Xinghuo. Zhao Manying nodded slightly, "Then we should get to know each other." A few minutes later. The maglev flying car reached its destination, the Tianwu Center in Qindu. Since renting the apartment here, Ji Xinghuo hadn’t yet stayed over. Previously he wanted to lure the enemy out, so Ji Xinghuo had been staying in an apartment in Qishan District. After today, he likely wouldn’t encounter any assassination attempts for a long time. The new rental was unknown to anyone, information sealed, and it was right in the city center, quite close to Zhao Manying’s home, so it was perfect for moving in. The flying car parked in the underground garage. Ji Xinghuo issued an invitation: "Do you want to come up and take a look? After all, it’s rented under your name; I’m just staying here." "What are you insinuating?" Zhao Manying looked at him with a half-smile. "I am a gentleman; it’s you who thought otherwise." Ji Xinghuo answered earnestly. "Pfft..." Zhao Manying remembered the words he said earlier about peaches ripening, feeling a bit shy but also faintly expectant. She kept a calm face and nodded, "I’ll take a quick look and then leave." It was their first time here. Zhao Manying put on sunglasses and disguised herself a bit, then entered the elevator with Ji Xinghuo’s arm. Fortunately, it was late and there was no one else in the elevator. When signing the lease agreement, Zhao Manying had reset the elevator password for this floor and the entry system permissions, and had authorized Ji Xinghuo. Both of them had equal access to the apartment. Ji Xinghuo verified his fingerprint and password in the elevator, and they quickly ascended to the 137th floor. The elevator doors opened to a spacious entryway, with Ji Xinghuo walking forward to open the door. "Please come in." Ji Xinghuo made a welcoming gesture. As they walked in, they saw a hundred-square-meter spacious living room facing the entrance, with a large rectangular one-way floor-to-ceiling glass that allowed a view outside the building. The night view was visible nearly a kilometer off the ground, overlooking most of Chang’an as if they were in the clouds. Looking into the distance, several skyscrapers in the night sky were flashing with dazzling neon lights. One of these was the Wei Yang Building. "Not bad, not bad!" Zhao Manying walked around the living room, then checked the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, strength training room, cultivation room, and study room, amounting to almost three hundred square meters. The decor was well-done, with an elegant style. All furniture and facilities were complete and of high quality, ready for immediate move-in. Ji Xinghuo was also very satisfied. Two years ago, he couldn’t even imagine living in such a fine apartment, with a monthly rent of one hundred thousand Ya Yuan, it was indeed worth it. Ji Xinghuo looked at Zhao Manying and suddenly said, "It’s quite late; why not stay here for the night?" "There’s just one bedroom." Zhao Manying glanced at him. "I’ll sleep on the couch." Ji Xinghuo patted the couch he was sitting on, which was both wide and soft, enough for five or six people. Seeing Zhao Yingman still hesitating, he spoke seriously, "Don’t worry! I promise not to make any moves. You can lock the bedroom door, and I absolutely won’t go in." After a few seconds, Zhao Manying gently nodded, replying softly, "Okay."
