CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 7: ON THE JOURNEY

In the early morning of the next day, sunlight streamed into a bedroom.

In the bedroom, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, meditating.

"Phew~"

Exhaling a breath, as his sword skill level increased, his meditation efficiency slightly improved. Although meditation was boring, it was a kind of willpower training.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao checked out of the hotel and left Qi Lu City.

Transportation in the Hunter World is very convenient, and there are many ways to get to Yukexin City, like taking an airship, train, etc.

The fastest among them is the airship, but it’s also the most expensive.

The airship business is a lucrative piece, but the Qi Lu City’s airship business is not controlled by the Ten Old Men’s Power but managed by the Hunter Association.

Compared to the Hunter Association, the Ten Old Men’s Power is insignificant. It can be said that the Hunter Association is a power above most national institutions.

In front of the airship management office, Su Xiao looked at the long queue and his cheek twitched.

Today is the morning of August 26th, just 5 days before the Yukexin Auction kicks off. Even so, transportation heading to Yukexin City from various cities is running at overload.

Looking at the ticket office from afar, a sign was hanging there, boldly stating: ’Earliest airship ticket September 7th’.

This means that even if you buy an airship ticket now, you still have to wait until September 7th to take off.

Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang, thinking he might really have to ride this guy to Yukexin?

Bubu Wang took two steps back, with a look that clearly said: "Master, that’s over a thousand kilometers, calm down, I can’t do it."

Leaving the airship management office, Su Xiao headed straight for the train station.

The situation in front of the train station wasn’t much better; a familiar scene appeared, it was a sea of people.

"Tickets for sale, tickets for sale, tickets for Yukexin before 9 AM."

A little fatty stood among the crowd, shouting a few times before letting out a muffled groan; he was dragged away by the gangsters for a ’tea’, as the train station is a gang’s business, and even scalpers are managed by the gang.

As the black market gangsters took away the trembling fatty, Bubu Wang suddenly had two train tickets in his mouth.

"These... wouldn’t be fake, right?"

After initial verification, these two tickets were genuine, and at exactly 9 o’clock in the morning, Su Xiao boarded the train to Yukexin.

Inside the carriage, Su Xiao sat by the window, with Bubu Wang next to him.

"The train to Yukexin City is about to depart. Passengers, please check your luggage and personal belongings..."

A gentle voice from the attendant came over the PA system, and Su Xiao had already taken out a tablet to play a puzzle game.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang barked, clearly meaning: this dog is hungry.

Su Xiao took out a bunch of snacks and placed them on the small table in front of him. Bubu Wang used his front paws to tear open the packaging and happily started munching away.

Before long, a young man and woman sat in the seats opposite Su Xiao.

Su Xiao glanced up and continued playing his puzzle game.

"Brother, is Yukexin really as lively as you say?"

The girl opposite Su Xiao spoke up, about 15 or 16 years old, with a pure look and wearing a beige dress.

"Of course, although Yukexin hosts an auction once a year, there are rare collectibles every time. We’re just going to watch this time."

The man next to the girl wore simple clothes, a white T-shirt, black pants, and a pair of frameless glasses.

"Can’t wait."

"Hmm, don’t get separated from me when we get there. Yukexin is controlled by gangs and is not safe."

"Got it, so naggy."

The girl pouted, and her brother gave a helpless smile.

The train slowly started, and Bubu Wang nudged Su Xiao with its paw, those little eyes seemed to say: "Master, I want to sit inside and look at the scenery."

"No amount of eating can shut you up."

Su Xiao got up and switched seats with Bubu Wang, who held a bucket of chips, satisfied with watching the scenery outside.

"This... is amazing."

The girl opposite looked at Bubu Wang, her eyes seemingly sparkling with little stars.

"Doggy, have some."

The girl took out a piece of jerky and held it out to Bubu Wang.

Bubu Wang rolled his white eye, ignoring the girl, with an aloof look as if saying don’t bother this noble one.

"Sis, don’t mess around."

The girl’s brother held her hand, smiling apologetically at Bubu Wang.

Just two seconds earlier, when the girl offered the jerky to Bubu Wang, Su Xiao glanced up and momentarily locked eyes with the girl’s brother.

In that instant, cold sweat drenched the girl’s brother’s back. There was no hostility or killing intent in those eyes, just a simple glance.

Yet, his keen perception told the girl’s brother that this man was very dangerous, extremely so.

"Oh? This is a psychic user, their perception is very sharp."

Su Xiao continued to play his puzzle game without releasing any aura, yet the other party still sensed something.

The girl’s brother sat stiffly, sweat dripping down his face.

"Bro, what’s up with you? It’s not even hot in here, yet you’re sweating all over."

The girl looked at her brother, puzzled.

"It’s nothing, Emily, didn’t you say you were tired earlier? Take a nap then."

"Hmm, alright, but big brother, sweating like that is a sign of weakness, I read it in a book."

Emily leaned back on the seat for a nap. Her brother took out a book and started reading intently.

"You’re quite skilled."

Su Xiao suddenly spoke, causing the girl’s brother to stiffen.

"Not at all, compared to this gentleman, I’m nothing. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Kenny."

Kenny was secretly on guard.

"Reading a book upside down is quite challenging, isn’t it?"

A smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face, and he continued his game without stopping.

"Huh."

Only then did Kenny realize he was holding the book upside down.

"We don’t know each other, and there’s no grudge between us."

Hearing Su Xiao’s words, Kenny nodded.

"Sorry, that was impolite of me earlier."

Though Kenny outwardly relaxed, he was still tense inside. What he saw through his telekinesis-covered eye would remain unforgettable.

Ordinary people’s aura is colorless or milky, but Su Xiao’s aura was light blue, berserk, sharp, seemingly devouring everything.

The train advanced steadily. At the current speed, it would arrive in Yukexin in about 13 hours.

In the first hour, Bubu Wang could still enjoy the scenery to kill time, but two hours later it started to get bored, rolling around on the seat and occasionally bumping into Su Xiao.

Three hours later, Bubu Wang had become friends with Emily, playing card games where the loser had to stick paper strips on their face.

In less than half an hour, Su Xiao saw Emily’s face, full of paper strips, except for her big watery eyes.

Emily’s brother’s mouth twitched, having seen smart dogs before, but never encountering one with such high intelligence.

"NO, how do you always have jokers, it’s infuriating."

Puffed-up Emily threw down the cards, helpless against Bubu Wang’s good cards.

"No, again."

With a face full of paper strips resembling a ’mop’, Bubu Wang was no longer bored. It started shuffling cards with its agile paws.

The boring journey was no longer boring with these two lively beings. Su Xiao put away his tablet and planned to rest for a while as there were only five hours left to reach Yukexin City.
