Chapter 1099: Jumping off the Running Train
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Iron-Dragon Airboat was slowly flying in the sunny sky.
For a better viewing feeling, the Iron-Dragon Airboat moved slowly at a speed of about 200 miles per hour.
Zhang Tie was lying naked on a comfortable armchair leisurely in a pair of sunglasses and a pair of loose short pants under the sunshine like having a vacation. At the same time, he was drinking juice and watching Bai Suxian swim cheerily in a swimsuit in the pool which covered over 100 square meters on the top of the airboat like a mermaid and giggling from time to time.
Above the swimming pool, the protective metal armor and shield plate had slid off automatically, revealing the open sky through the crystal grille. The top deck of Iron-Dragon Airboat became the best sightseeing platform on the airboat.
There wasn't any swimming pool in any other airship. However, there were swimming pools in each bigger airboat. Watching this swimming pool, Zhang Tie had to praise the luxury of Taixia Country.
As airboats always flew at high speeds and made various maneuvers, the water in the swimming pool could only be stored in the activated storage in normal times. When necessary, water could be released into the swimming pool and be heated to a proper temperature so that people in the airboat could have a nice swim.
At this moment, Iron-Dragon Airboat had left Zhongzhou City for 5 days. Zhang Tie had long forgotten about the even in Longxi Prefecture, Zhongzhou Province.
As for the disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect on the airboat, during the period Zhang Tie left the airboat, they all thought that their master was cultivating in Iron-Dragon Airboat. Such a short-term cultivation was too common for an earth knight. Therefore, Zhang Tie's disciples didn't think too much about that.
During that period, Iron-Dragon Airboat replenished its supplies in Zhongzhou City; by this chance, Zhang Tie's disciples traveled around Zhongzhou City and tasted all the yummy food in the city. After completely eliminating their tiredness which was caused by one month's survival training, when they came back to the airboat, the atmosphere became active once again.
Only Bai Suxian knew that Zhang Tie was not in the airboat during those days. However, Bai Suxian didn't know where Zhang Tie had been either. She only knew that Zhang Tie looked more relaxed when he came back as if he had settled a matter which had been weighing his mind for a long time. It was Bai Suxian's first time to see such a change on Zhang Tie.
Previously, since they got acquainted with each other in Earth-elements Realm, Bai Suxian intuitively sensed that Zhang Tie was not fully relaxed even though when he was laughing and falling asleep alone. She felt that Zhang Tie was always depressed and alert. Zhang Tie's mind was like a heavy, grey iron curtain which could not be seen through at all.
However, after Zhang Tie came back this time, Bai Suxian found that Zhang Tie became sunnier and more relaxed. The grey iron curtain suddenly became as clear as crystals which didn't make people depressed at all; instead, it revealed the essence of a big, innocent boy.
Bai Suxian didn't know what Zhang Tie had done. However, she knew that Zhang Tie must have done something big during those days he left the airboat. Otherwise, Zhang Tie would never be that relaxed. However, even though Bai Suxian was sure that Zhang Tie had done something big during that period, she wondered why there was no major news in well-informed Zhongzhou City during these days. At this moment, all the major news in Zhongzhou City was about Pingsha Valley. However, nothing was new.
Whereas, Bai Suxian didn't ask Zhang Tie about that because she was clever.
After Iron-Dragon Airboat left Zhongzhou City and Zhang Tie left his "cultivation room", the atmosphere in the airboat had started to become active.
Zhang Tie was now the soul and core of this airboat. When Zhang Tie became relaxed, the entire airboat was filled with cheers and laughter. Zhang Tie's disciples were all became relaxed as they thought that their master had gained something through cultivation.
Bai Suxian was also very happy. After Zhang Tie relieved his heavy burden, Bai Suxian had a sweet and relaxed feeling that could only be felt between lovers. In this warm atmosphere, Bai Suxian gave out her beautiful vigor from inside to outside.
Zhang Tie said it was a good weather today. They could relax on the airboat. Additionally, he had the swimming pools in the airboat filled with water. All the people in the airboat became crazy.
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were in the exclusively private swimming pool on the top deck. Zhang Tie's disciples were all young, male or female. They were having fun in the big swimming pool at the bottom deck near the stern. Even though the two swimming pools were 100 m away from each other, Zhang Tie could still hear his disciples' cheers and laughter clearly.
As the master and master uncle of Iron-Dragon Sect, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian should pay attention to their images. Even though Zhang Tie's disciples didn't mind swimming and basking in the sun with him and Bai Suxian, none of them could actually be completely relaxed. Therefore, they'd better relax themselves respectively.
With a splash, Bai Suxian walked out of the swimming pool.
Staying with Zhang Tie alone, Bai Suxian was wearing a white bikini hot swimsuit, displaying her perfect and hot body in front of Zhang Tie.
After drying her hair and body with a towel, Bai Suxian walked over there before lying on Zhang Tie's side. Zhang Tie's armchair was definitely large enough which could even hold two people easily. Zhang Tie gave Bai Suxian a cup of juice.
"This isn't a good design at all. There should be a movable natural sand beach beside the swimming pool, which would be more romantic..."
It was definitely the most luxurious and flamboyant thing in this age to swim in the sky. However, princess Bai was still not satisfied with it. She was still complaining about the design of this airboat.
"Hoho, my elder sister, it's not your home. I won this airboat from Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Try to imagine how those elders with grey hair and beard swim and bask here in a pair of beach pants, revealing their bony figures."
Actually, Bai Suxian just made a suggestion casually. After hearing Zhang Tie's words and imagining the images, she burst out into laughter at once, causing a "puff" sound. However, in the next moment, after recalling that Zhang Tie called her "elder sister", Bai Suxian started to act coquettishly while twisting her body on Zhang Tie side with bouncing plum breasts, "Ahh, you called me elder sister, do you think I'm old..."
"Well, well, I will not call you elder sister from today on. I will call you young sister..." Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"Are you teasing me?" Bai Suxian behaved more like a spoiled child. Because only she and Zhang Tie knew the special meaning carried by the appellation of "young sister".
"Neither I can call you elder sister nor young sister, what else should I call you then?"
"What did you call me last night? When there's nobody else, you should call me that..." Bai Suxian blushed.
"Sure, baby!"
"I like that!" Bai Suxian kissed Zhang Tie happily. Closely after that, she buried her body in Zhang Tie's arms and put her hand onto Zhang Tie's chest. Tilting her head, she watched Zhang Tie as she let out a sigh satisfactorily, "I've not been so relaxed for a long time. Only when I stay with you could I be so relaxed!"
"I've not been so relaxed for a long time either. Just now, I suddenly realized that I didn't have any clear image about Taixia Country at all. Taixia Country is still a strange place for me. There're so many cities and people in Taixia Country. Additionally, Taixia Country is very prosperous. So, Is there any relationship between me and those time-honored Class A cities, those splendid figures from all walks of life and the prosperity on the peak of humans? Across Taixia Country, besides those cities and people which I passed by accidentally, I had no impression about anything else. I still feel that I'm a total stranger in Taixia Country..." Zhang Tie sighed with emotion.
"Ahh, but why?"
"I feel like I am watching a film which was popular before the Catastrophe since I came to Taixia Country over 4 years ago. It's more like a suspense-action movie. It's colorful and vivid in the eyes of others at a normal speed; however, it's fast forward and black and white for me. I could only see scenes and people one after another. I could only see the glint and flash of saber and sword and a mess instead of dialogue and voice. I've been watching this film for 4 years. Besides very few figures and places that flashed by, I don't have too much impression about anything else. This is how I feel since I came to Taixia Country 4 year ago!"
Bai Suxian listened to him quietly.
Under his sunglasses, Zhang Tie revealed a faint, weird smile, "The longer I stayed in Taixia Country, the more often what I experienced in Waii Subcontinent would occur to my mind. Previously, I wondered whether a person would yearn for the past when he came to a new place. Now, I know that besides being a bit nostalgic, Waii Subcontinent was like a running train which brought me far away over these years. However, I didn't know where this train was heading for..."
"What about now?"
"I jumped off the train and landed on the ground by foot and could control my direction and determine where to go once again..."
