Chapter 58: Leaving the city
She hugged him tightly after hearing his exhausted voice and helped him sit on the floor.
"What happened?" she asked. She couldn't hide the worry in her eyes, so Tang Yin smiled at her.
"It's nothing, I just opened Elder Zhang's spiritual entrances, it totally exhausted me. Don't worry, I'm fine." Tang Yin said, trying to comfort her.
Honestly, he wasn't all bad, and although the situation put him in this state in front of his wife, he wasn't sad or upset.
On the contrary, he felt that he had won this time.
It is true that he is now totally exhausted, but this exhaustion made him realize something that he had been ignoring a bit these past few days.
That he is not that strong.
It made him realize how vulnerable he is right now.
Even doing something as simple as opening the spiritual entrances could kill him if he's not careful.
'...I can't waste any more time.' He thought with a frown at that moment.
"Did that leave you so exhausted? Why did you do that? It's dangerous, your heart is beating so fast!" Huang Feifei replied firmly but scared.
Tang Yin only smiled and stroked her head a little.
"It's only when a person like him, owes me a favor, that I can leave you here confident that nothing will happen to you. Don't worry, I just need to rest for a while." Tang Yin told her to reassure her.
Then he remembered what he had come out to get her for.
"That's right, go inside and pack everything up. We'll be leaving in a few hours for the Imperial City." Tang Yin said with a calm smile, and this surprised Huang Feifei, who was preparing to tell him that there was no need for him to do so much for her.
"Will we leave so quickly? What shall we do with the house?" she asked in a daze.
They had bought a house worth 150,000 Spiritual Gold Coins to live in for one month? What a waste of money that was? she thought in shock.
Tang Yin nodded at her.
"It's nothing, it's just a small house I bought temporarily. It's in your name and you can decide what to do with it once you settle down at the academy, but for now, you'd better settle down quickly, that way I can leave peacefully." Tang Yin replied, and she stared at him for several full minutes without saying anything.
In the end, she nodded.
"...Okay." She replied, and Tang Yin stroked her face a little.
"Go pick everything, as soon as I recover, we'll leave." Tang Yin said and motioned for her to go make preparations.
They didn't have much to do, but she went into the house, leaving him alone.
When he noticed that she was gone, Tang Yin gave a loud punch to the wall beside him.
'Fuck, I really am weak...' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
He was angry at his weakness.
Angry at his incompetence.
Still, he knew how to calm himself down, so he sighed.
'I must move quickly. I feel useless being so weak. It's stupid what I've been doing these months. If I keep going on adventures I might die and there I doubt I'll get another chance.' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
'What a stupid thing I've been doing...' He thought as he realized his big mistake.
What good is it for him to venture out at this time when he has no strength?
He doesn't even know the dangers on this continent.
'I have become confident because of my previous status. I'm stupid, I'm no longer that Divine Son, now even a fly could kill me...' He thought and finally shook his head helplessly and relaxed to recover himself.
There was no use thinking about nonsense right now.
He's weak and must recover, that should be his priority.
Having thought that far, he relaxed.
...
Thus, he spent several hours leaning against the wall while watching the sky gradually darkening.
'It must be time...' Tang Yin thought when he heard footsteps inside the house and got up and went inside.
Huang Feifei was already coming down the stairs and smiled at him as she went to help him.
"How are you feeling?" She asked.
He nodded with a calm smile.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Like I told you, it was just a little momentary discomfort." Tang Yin replied and then took off his mask and put it back on.
"Is it ready?" Tang Yin asked, and Huang Feifei nodded.
"All ready." She replied, and that moment coincided with the knock on the door.
"It must be Elder Zhang, let's go." Tang Yin said and they left the house after putting everything away in their inventory.
They didn't have much to miss about this house, except that it was here that they had their first time together, so they left without looking back. Outside waiting for them was Zhang Feiju, who nodded to them.
"It's ready, Young Master, Student Huang. They are waiting for us." He spoke.
Tang Yin then nodded towards him.
"Let's go then." He replied, and they left together.
They walked for a few minutes until they reached the Academy grounds, where there was a small flying boat waiting.
The ship was white with blue and wasn't very ornate, but it still had some small decorations that made it look elegant.
This was Zhang Feiju's personal flying boat, which was not very big. It could only fit about 10-12 people at most, and it wasn't very fast either. Despite that, it cost him a fortune.
In fact, Tang Yin asked a few weeks ago about the price of flying boats and was surprised by the price of such things.
Even a small boat like this could cost twice as much as the house Tang Yin had bought.
A medium-sized boat would cost millions of spiritual gold coins and might even cost a few tens of millions, depending on how good it is.
It is a real luxury to have such things.
And this will be the first time Huang Feifei will be able to fly in one of these.
So she was a little excited, so they both got on quickly.
Once up, they were surprised since they had met two acquaintances.
Well, Huang Feifei found 3.
The first were the twins they had seen in the forest.
"Young Master, is that you?" They both asked, at the same time in surprise, and then looked at Huang Feifei.
"Oh, you saw sister? I told you that Miss Huang was the same one we had seen in that forest!" Said the twin man as he looked at Huang Feifei at Tang Yin's side, without them having responded to his greetings.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet you guys here. So, when Elder Zhang said about some twins who had caught the interest, he meant you guys." Tang Yin said.
Zhang Feiju then looked at them somewhat surprised.
"Do you know each other?" He asked doubtfully.
Both twins then nodded.
"Tenth Elder, they are the two who made it possible for us to enter the academy. That winged snake body we sold you, it was theirs and they gave it to us." Replied the man with a smile.
Then Zhang Feiju nodded, understanding everything.
Huang Feifei also greeted them and then looked at the other person she knew.
"Senior, I didn't expect you to come with us too." Huang Feifei said with a smile, and the lady who she had been up against in the test who was the one who was here, smiled somewhat embarrassedly at her.
"When I heard that you were going to enter Elder Zhang's Hall, I decided to join you." She replied with some embarrassment.
Ever since she lost to Huang Feifei, she had admired her.
It only took her 2 or 3 moves to beat her, despite them both being at the same cultivation level.
What kind of genius was she?
Soon she would surpass Jun Xilei!
Only by following such a genius could she reach high, is what she thought.
Huang Feifei was surprised, but before she could ask her why, Zhang Feiju spoke to them.
"Gentlemen and ladies, we are going to take off, so hold on. Once we are flying you can talk." Zhang Feiju said, and they all nodded and went over to the ship's railings to watch them take off and to hold on.
Then, the ship started to take off.
