Luo Puti was suddenly lifted up into the sky. Unconsciously, she grabbed on Chen Xiaobei and gave him a really tight hug.
“d.a.m.n! I have never thought that the ice queen could show fear! Feel free to hug me tighter if you are really afraid! Tighter please!”
“You are a perv! What the heck is going on right now?”
Clearly, Luo Puti was scared out of her wits. Her surroundings were filled with clouds. The moment she looked down at the ground, she realized that she was thousands of meters up in the sky! As an ordinary human being, it was no wonder she was afraid of it!
“This is a flying Spiritual Item! The name is Somersault Cloud! The next time I bring to you to tour some other planets, you will get the chance to sit in a flying car!”
“Flying Spiritual Item? Flying Car?”
Luo Puti was taken aback, for there was just too much information flooding her mind all at once. If she had not personally witnessed the special ability of the Returning Bracelet, she would have thought that she had been dreaming.
“Don’t be afraid! It’s really steady. You won’t fall down!” said Chen Xiaobei in a gentle manner.
“I’m not afraid of it at all! Where are you bringing me?”
“We are going back to Dragon City to celebrate Duanwu Festival!”
It was already dusk when they arrived at Dragon City.
Luo Puti ended up having dinner at Bei Xuan Faction. The moment Luo Puti stepped into the house, Zhang Chui’er and Chen Zhong cheered in joy. After finis.h.i.+ng dinner, she went back to her house to visit her grandpa. It had been some time since she last saw him.
It was a peaceful night.
The next day was the Duanwu Festival!
Early in the morning, Chen Xiaobei accompanied Zhang Chui’er to the wet market to purchase some zhongzi. This time, Chen Xiaobei had informed Song Qincheng, Lan Mengcheng, and Luo Puti to bring their families along to Bei Xuan Faction to celebrate Duanwu Festival together. Even NeZha managed to convince Lin Nan to bring Professor Lin with him.
The Duanwu Festival turned out to be really exciting this time. After they came back from the wet market, they had to prepare a variety of dishes for dinner. It was definitely a busy day for all of them. In the midst of the flurry of activity, Chen Xiaobei took some time out to buy a large amount of zhongzi. There were at least ten thousand of it, and they were all really unique in terms of flavour. Usually, Chen Xiaobei would not buy stuff like this for his family members. The purpose of him buying them was for the Duanwu Festival that would be held at the underworld realm tonight.
……
As the sun set, the guests that Chen Xiaobei had invited, started arrivingat Bei Xuan Faction.
Song Qincheng brought Wenyuan, NeZha, and Hong Hai’er with her.
Lin Nan and Professor Lin arrived as well.
Luo Puti had brought Elder Luo with her.
As for Lan Mengcheng, she had brought Lan Zhengguo, Elder Qin, and her grandma with her.
Jiang Ziya and Six Ears Macaque came all the way from j.a.pan to celebrate the festival together.
Lastly, Chen Xiaobei had managed to invite Jing Fei and Fire Boss to come here as well.
Jing Fei was still single. The moment he arrived at Bei Xuan Faction, he immediately started mingling around with Hong Hai’er. Seemingly, the two of them had a common topic to talk about – brothels!
Fire Boss had brought his wife and son with him. The little Fire Boss had grown up a lot this time. Now, he knew how to utter words like, papa and mama. Sooner or later, he would be able to make simple sentences. After Chen Xiaobei settled everyone down, he went to a quiet place and made two phone calls.
“h.e.l.lo! Bro Yu? You told me that you will try to come back today. Do you think you can make it? I have prepared your favorite Hundred Fruits Dragon d.i.c.k moons.h.i.+ne for you!”
“I don’t think I can make it! The mission will go through its most critical phase tonight! Drink more! You can have my share as well!”
“Bro Yu. Do you want to consider to quitting the Thunder Kirin Special Force? I have know the Norther Wilderness Starfield inside out. If you are interested, I can bring you to go there to further your career!”
“Haha! You’re talking. Seems like you are in quite a good position! I think your combat power should be higher than me, right?” said Xiangyu while smiling.
Seemingly, he was genuinely happy for Chen Xiaobei.
“Bro Yu! You are an ultra-rare prodigy! I’m pretty sure that your combat power will soar after you travel to Northern Wilderness Starfield! You will definitely become more powerful than me!”
“I like what you said! However, I don’t think I can quit Thunder Kirin Special Squad just yet! There are still a lot of things that I need to take care of! I have recently accepted a very important mission! No matter what, I have to complete it first before quitting.”
“What kind of mission are you talking about? Why do you have to do so it slowly? I thought you should be able to complete any mission almost instantly?”
“Have you heard of the number one scientist of America?”
“Hou Sailei?”
Chen Xiaobei heard of this person’s name before, when he fought with tan A-tier agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. Hou Sailei was supposed to be a Chinese that was born and bred in China. However, he chose to become a citizen in America the moment he became an adult.
“How did you know that? That was supposed to be a top secret of our country!”
Xiangyu was shocked that Chen Xiaobei knew about Hou Sailei. However, when he remembered that Chen Xiaobei was no ordinary person, everything then made sense to him.
“This man has committed treason! Thunder Kirin Special Force just a.s.signed me to deport him to back to our country!”
“Treason? All he did was change his nationality. I don’t think that would qualify as treason…”
“No one will care about him if all he did was change his nationality! However! Right after he became an American citizen, he used illegal methods to steal our technology and brought it back to America for research.
“Stealing our technology? How did he do it?”
“He planted a mole in our national research team! Last month, a USB drive with many secrets went missing in the research center! A week later, the USB drive appeared on Hou Sailei’s desk!”
“This… How did you guys know that Hou Sailei had the USB drive with him?”
“Do you really think that we will let them bully us without us retaliating? We have planted someone to spy on Hou Sailei as well!”
“d.a.m.n! This is awesome! I have only seen all these spy business in movies!”
“Yea! Judging from current circ.u.mstances, it’s a very serious matter that Hou Sailei has acquired some of our top secrets. Once he gets a full understanding of what’s inside the USB drive, America will surpa.s.s us by at least 30 years in military technology.”
“d.a.m.n! That’s one really urgent matter!”
“If it’s really that serious, we have to capture him as soon as possible!”
“Okay! This matter has to dealt with utmost care! I’m willing to help you in any way I can. Don’t hesistate to let me know!”
“Okay… We’ll talk again soon! I’m going to depart now!”
Right after Chen Xiaobei hung up the call and calmed his mind, he went on and made another call.
