Orange was filled with regret. If she had known Dao would do this, she would have preferred to fly for three or four hours using her own flying spirit...
But now they were already on a pirate ship, thousands of meters in the air, and in a closed cockpit, with nowhere to escape.
"Have you eaten enough? Can't you drive properly? Look at the road..." Orange nudged Bai Zhou in front of her, looking a little scared.
After all, she was facing Bai Zhou at the moment, and could only see the clouds flying by outside, unable to see the road ahead at all.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhou was focused on eating her food...
Bai Zhou doesn't watch where he's going at all. Even if he's not going fast, it's still dangerous if he hits something.
"Tsk~ It's a little too sweet~"
Bai Zhou raised his head, licked his lips, and seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
"Idiot, I don't have a baby, where would I get such a thing!" Orange's face instantly turned red, and she smacked Bai Zhou hard.
Bai Zhou, that bastard! He ate it, and then complained about it! How despicable!
"Or..."
Bai Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.
Tangerine:...
"You bastard! What are you thinking?! I'm only 18, you beast!! And even if there were any, they'd be baby food, how could you have the nerve to steal them..."
Orange finally couldn't hold back any longer and exploded, grabbing Bai Zhou's face hard with both hands, clearly she was furious.
"Haha, what? I didn't say anything! You've just made that up yourself. Stop talking nonsense, or your face will twist..."
Bai Zhou feigned innocence.
"Hmph, nobody believes that! Behave yourself and drive." Orange snorted and quickly covered her chest, not giving Bai Zhou a chance.
"No, we need Sister Ju Zi's help too~"
Bai Zhou looked down, his expression suggestive.
"Don't even think about it, you'll get it all over me, it'll be filthy..." Orange pouted, pretending to be disgusted by Dao.
The main concern is that if someone sees me using the flight spirit tool, it won't look good.
"Shall we talk about it when we get back tonight?" Bai Zhou thought about it and agreed that it made sense, since the space here was rather cramped and not really suitable.
It will be more convenient in the future.
"I...I know, it'll be tonight then...hurry up and drive..." Orange pouted and had no choice but to give in.
After all, she was afraid that if she didn't agree to Bai Zhou's request, they might have to camp outside again today.
Since things are already like this, one or two more times won't make a difference.
Orange silently comforted herself.
"Mmm, Sister Ju Zi is so nice~"
Bai Zhou laughed heartily, instantly feeling pleased.
It then accelerated suddenly.
...
...
At the same time.
Cold Spring Valley.
"Splash—"
Laughing Hongchen emerged from the Cold Spring, panting heavily.
Clearly, this exploration was extremely physically and mentally taxing for him.
"Brother, you're finally out! Did you find anything?" Meng Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his brother finally come out.
"There is indeed an ice soul cold iron under Cold Spring, and it seems to be a Bingpo Hantie Mine with an astonishing reserve."
Laughing Hongchen took a deep breath before speaking.
"What! Bingpo Hantie Mine, how much ice soul cold iron must have been mined!" Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, so excited that he was a little dizzy, as if he had been hit by a huge surprise.
Although she and her brother weren't short of money, they wouldn't pass up free resources.
"No, the veins here are too deep, making mining extremely difficult. I can only go down to 300 meters at most... It's simply impossible to mine here."
"The reason I know that Dao has Bingpo Hantie Mine is because of the results obtained by my Spirit metal detector."
Laughing Hongchen shook his head with a wry smile.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Cold Spring seemed to be at a depth of a kilometer!
Even if there is a Bingpo Hantie Mine underneath, mining in such a deep Cold Spring would be extremely difficult.
Even if a Nine-Level Soul Guidance Master were to arrive, it would still require a considerable amount of Cultivation Technique, making large-scale mining impossible.
The most cost-effective way is to have a Soul Engineer with ice and water attributes of level eight or above perform small-scale mining when there is a special need.
"Alright, let's go back then. Hopefully, Grandpa will have a solution…" Meng Hongchen immediately deflated, feeling utterly helpless.
"However…" Suddenly, Laughing Hongchen changed the subject, looking at Meng Hongchen with a strange expression. Dao: "When I was surveying just now, I discovered that the Bingpo Hantie Mine underground had been mined, and it happened before we arrived..."
Although Laughing Hongchen didn't say it explicitly, the answer was already quite obvious.
"What? You mean, Bai Zhou and Senior Sister Orange mined a lot of ice soul cold iron ore before us!" Meng Hongchen wasn't stupid, and he understood instantly.
"Yes, that Bai Zhou lied to you. He's a hypocrite who deliberately deceived you!" Laughing Hongchen quickly reminded Dao when he saw that his sister hadn't grasped the point.
In his experience, girls hate being deceived the most.
Now he wants to expose Bai Zhou and let his sister see Bai Zhou's true colors!
"What...he lied to me...why..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen's large, watery blue eyes widened slightly, and tears slowly welled up in them.
Seeing this, Laughing Hongchen immediately revealed a smug look, intending to press his advantage on Dao: "Because..."
"Because he cares about me!"
Meng Hongchen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly woke up!
"He lied to me, but it must have been for my own good! He knows that Dao's Cold Spring is very dangerous, and he also knows that mining the veins in Dao is very difficult, so he deliberately lied to me to keep me from taking risks and to avoid encountering danger!"
"Yes, that must be it... So he cares about me so much, waaaaah..."
Meng Hongchen seemed to have a sudden realization, and was so moved that he almost cried.
Laughing Hongchen's smile froze on his face, and he was somewhat petrified.
"No, little sister, you must have misunderstood something… that little white- faced guy…" Laughing, Hongchen opened his mouth, wanting to say something to salvage the situation.
"Enough! Brother, stop talking. I know you 're upset about being beaten up by Bai Zhou, but you can defeat him fair and square. I won't allow you to slander him behind his back like this!"
Meng Hongchen, his eyes red, shouted "Dao! "
Laughing Hongchen:...
"Bai Zhou cares about me so much, I must thank him properly when I get back. Hmm, should I give him a gift... It's a pity I didn't add him on my microcard..."
Meng Hongchen murmured to herself, sometimes with surprise, sometimes with shyness.
Laughing Hongchen:...
"Brother, let's hurry up and go. Anyway, you're not capable of mining the veins, so it's better to go back sooner." With this in mind, Meng Hongchen urged Laughing Hongchen to leave quickly.
She didn't want to stay in this awful place for even a second longer.
She plans to ask her grandfather to transfer her to the third laboratory when she gets home today.
That way she can see Bai Zhou every day.
Laughing Hongchen:...blanch!,
