When the fat man arrived late, he saw Ye Chen already chatting happily with several sexy beauties.
While he was still in a daze, Ye Chen had already said goodbye to the many beauties and pulled him towards the exit of the club.
"Look at the time! Do you really think the emperor will never hold court again? Aren't you afraid the retired emperor will castrate you?" Ye Chen said irritably, pointing at the time. Damn it, he had to remind himself to pick up his parents?
"Hey! It's because the maids were too enthusiastic last night, so I guess I'm just taking care of some wayward girls. I'm doing a great deed!" the fat man said, slightly embarrassed.
Ye Chen silently rolled his eyes. "How about I tell your parents about this meritorious deed?"
"Brother! Brother! Don't trouble yourself with this, please go ahead!" There were quite a few taxis waiting at the door, and the fat man directly opened the door of one of them and invited Ye Chen to get in.
"What a jerk!" He shook his head irritably and got into the car.
"Master, Chang'an South Airport, pick me up at 3 o'clock, please hurry!" The fat man said immediately after getting into the car.
"Pick me up at 3 PM? Do you think I'm flying a plane?" The driver glanced at the time and said speechlessly.
At 2:45, this is a big city! It takes three to five minutes to get from the airport gate to the arrival area in fifteen minutes.
"Ten thousand yuan! Can you open it?" A stack of banknotes appeared in front of the driver, and he swallowed back the rest of his words.
"No one else can do it, I, the mighty Akina Mountain racing god, hold on tight!" As soon as he finished speaking, the entire taxi shot off and sped along the highway. The two men glanced at it discreetly. Good heavens, 0-100 km/h in less than six seconds! Even top-of-the-line sports cars can do that! If it weren't for the smoke billowing behind them, they would have really thought they were riding in a sports car.
"Where did you get the cash?" the fat man asked Ye Chen. Didn't they both only have credit cards?
"I got a loan from so many maids. They each gave me 10,000, and I exchanged it for 20,000 for each of them. I'll start helping troubled girls!"
"Wow! How come I didn't think of that?"
"Because you are not kind enough, you haven't saved enough wayward girls! You're not proactive enough! You're not enthusiastic enough!"
"..."
Fifteen minutes later, the two stared blankly at the airport gate, marveling at the incredible speed of the man who had actually arrived at the airport from the Heaven on Earth in just fifteen minutes. Even though it was just the airport entrance, it was still unbelievable. This was a car! A taxi, no less! What was its top speed?
"Why didn't you mention before that the airport is so close to Heaven on Earth?" Fatty asked speechlessly through the car window. This is just around the corner, you don't even have to go through the city. One is on this side of the mountain, and the other is on the other side. There are no traffic lights or cameras along the way. We just drove straight there.
"You didn't even ask! And even if it's next door, would an average person drive this fast? Look at the smoke coming out of the back. Even the Akina Mountain racing legend gets old!" the taxi driver said, counting the money in his hand.
"You've really put too much smoke in here!" The two nodded silently, and suddenly felt that they hadn't given enough. Just look at the exhaust smoke that could block the door, even 10,000 yuan wouldn't be enough to repair the car.
"Hey sir, don't be shy, this 10,000 yuan is a tip. You'd better hurry to the repair shop, the security guards over there are coming to kick you out!" Ye Chen handed over another 10,000 yuan, urging the taxi driver to leave. However, the driver calmly took the money and shifted gears...
"Hey, it's nothing, I can fix this little problem myself. As for that security guard, he can't catch me! You two are generous, come find me again later!" The driver gave a thumbs up and stepped on the gas before the security guard could get close. With a "whoosh," he sped off, and the security guard chasing after him was immediately engulfed by the exhaust fumes.
"Cough cough! Cough cough! Who are you? If you dare to come here again, I'll stop you right here!" The security guard cursed. Ye Chen and the fat man silently turned their heads away. They seriously doubted whether the security guard had the ability to see the license plate number in the thick smoke!
The two didn't wait long at the airport before receiving a call from their parents, and then headed towards the exit.
After being separated for more than a year, the fat man was finally able to see his parents again. He couldn't help but feel excited. This was the first time in his life that he had been away from home for so long.
"Brother Chen, do you think my parents will be stunned by how handsome I look now?" the fat man asked nervously. The two of them had changed their clothes in the villa and now looked presentable, unlike how shabby they were last night.
"Yes, they might not even acknowledge you as their son!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes, his tone a mixture of helplessness and envy. He had no parents in this life, so he was not fortunate enough to enjoy such warmth.
But then again, isn't this exactly the protagonist template in traditional novels? He's destined to be the one who saves the world!
"Sigh, in the end, I had to bear it all alone!" Ye Chen thought to himself with a sigh. If the fat man next to him heard this, he probably wouldn't be able to resist kicking him.
Fortunately, the situation the two had feared did not materialize. When the two elderly people came out carrying their luggage and saw their son, whose demeanor had changed drastically, with his classmates, they were surprised but recognized him at a glance, their faces filled with excitement and longing.
"Good! Good! Good!" Father Wang patted the fat man's shoulder repeatedly, while Mother Wang hugged her son and showered him with concern.
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. No matter what the fat man's identity is, in the eyes of the King's parents, he is ultimately just their son.
"Ye Chen, I know his personality well. Moreover, he awakened such a race and is now able to become a lord. I really owe you a lot this past year!" Seeing that he could not join in the scene of maternal love and filial piety, the king's father gradually came to his senses and said gratefully while holding Ye Chen's hand.
In his eyes, his son's childhood classmate and best friend was far superior to his own son. He was calm, well-behaved, and academically excellent. Having such a friend was a blessing that Fatty had accumulated over several lifetimes. Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Wang had always treated Ye Chen very well, and Ye Chen always remembered this.
"Uncle, you're too kind. Fatty and I have developed and grown together. Whether in the trial space or now that we're out, he has been a great help to me!" Ye Chen said. This was not just politeness. Fatty's magic crystal bombs, teleportation arrays, and even goblin armor were things that his Primordial Clan alone might not have been able to produce.
But to the king's father, those words sounded like modesty.
"Pshaw! Don't bother praising him. Do you think I don't know my own flesh and blood? If he causes you any trouble, just tell me, and I'll beat him to a pulp!"
