Chapter 133: Arrival at the Capital

After putting away the motorbike, Jun Wu Xiao went to Gu Zhou Jian’s place and asked:

"Is it alright if I sit here?"

"Sure, have a seat. By the way, where’s my motorbike? I remember there’s no place for vehicles on this train. Also, how did you get in here?" Gu Zhou Jian said.

In her opinion, he had enough strength to keep up with the train, so there was no reason for him to be on it. The motorbike might be heavy for an ordinary person, but for him, it was as light as a feather.

"Earlier, the station staff told me to just leave it at the last carriage. They also said I could ride for free. Something about citizens having a responsibility to help cultivators adapt to modern society." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Hearing this, Gu Zhou Jian immediately understood what had happened. She said:

"They’re just using fancy words. To be blunt, they were afraid you’d damage the tracks or cause an accident, right? So they decided to bend the rules so you could stay calmly on the train."

Jun Wu Xiao sat down beside her and said:

"Ha ha, I know that’s what they think, but it’s not surprising they’d be cautious. Anyway, since I was invited to ride for free, I wanted to experience it. And I must say, the interior is really beautiful and much more convenient than before. By the way, what are these holes for?"

He noticed several holes along the side of the train, seemingly made for some specific purpose.

She took out her phone and its charger and said:

"These are for charging your phone. You can think of the battery as the energy that powers the phone. If it runs out or is low, you just plug it in, and the phone will slowly recharge."

He also knew what a phone was, after all, he had seen it a few times. Although he didn’t know about the other functions, he knew this could be used for communication.

Hearing about energy, Jun Wu Xiao suddenly remembered something he’d seen before but hadn’t paid much attention to because it was relatively useless to him at the time. He asked:

"Is there electricity inside?"

Gu Zhou Jian nodded but then quickly grabbed his hand. She said:

"Don’t stick your hand in there. It won’t kill you, but don’t mess around. My house also has outlets, so you can poke your hand in as many times as you want there."

Being suddenly held made Jun Wu Xiao pause. He said:

"Do I look like someone who likes to destroy things?"

"No, but you’re like a walking bomb. Extremely dangerous to society. And because you’re like me, I understand. I would really poke my hand in there if I were curious." Gu Zhou Jian said.

He didn’t know how to explain it to her, so he said:

"Don’t worry, I’m well-behaved. If I misbehave, you can deal with me as you see fit."

"Huh? How am I supposed to deal with you? Hitting you would hurt my hand, and shooting you wouldn’t cause any damage. What do you want me to do?" Gu Zhou Jian glared at him.

"Well... you could scold me." Jun Wu Xiao said.

"I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now." She didn’t see any point in arguing further.

Seeing her go to sleep, Jun Wu Xiao didn’t disturb her. He also entered a cultivation state. In his current realm, he didn’t need a spacious area. Just a place to sit was enough for his cultivation.

As for the amenities on the train, he glanced at them and quickly understood most of their functions. Therefore, he had no reason to keep looking. Besides, the scenery here wasn’t interesting enough to hold his attention.

To an outsider, it might look like he was simply sitting and sleeping. Dark energy, after all, couldn’t be seen in its natural state unless it was converted into matter.

Moreover, the movement of dark energy didn’t affect any physical matter in nature, so no one could detect anything unusual.

.....

Several hours later, Gu Zhou Jian woke up. Seeing Jun Wu Xiao with his eyes closed, looking as if he were asleep, she felt a bit curious. She thought:

"Is he really sleeping? No, that’s not right. He seems very tense, so it doesn’t look like he’s sleeping. Is it a method of cultivating after sensing dark energy? But this method does have the advantage of not taking up much space."

She decided not to disturb him and went back to sleep for a bit longer. When they were almost at the capital, she said:

"We’re almost there, stop cultivating."

Jun Wu Xiao opened his eyes, a bit surprised that she knew he was cultivating. He asked:

"How did you know I was cultivating? Since that one time, dark energy has been invisible and hasn’t had any effect on the environment."

The one time he referred to was when dark energy first appeared in the world. Although the sky had changed slightly, the change was so subtle it could easily be mistaken for a blink.

"Ha ha, it’s simple. Even though your eyes were closed, your expression was very tense. I figured you were doing something, and for a cultivator, that’s most likely cultivating." Gu Zhou Jian said with a smile.

Jun Wu Xiao clapped his hands and said in a teasing tone:

"My little girl is really too smart."

Gu Zhou Jian’s smile vanished. She wanted to hit him but didn’t have the strength to do so. She could only huff:

"Hmph, shut up if you don’t know how to talk."

She then turned her face towards the window, ignoring him. Jun Wu Xiao, seeing this, tried to console her:

"How about you hit me to vent your anger?"

This was more like blatant provocation than consolation. This time, she did punch him in the face, but with very little force, not wanting to hurt herself.

"Wow, quite calm. You know how to control your strength so your hand doesn’t hurt." Jun Wu Xiao praised, his tone practically begging for another punch.

"Just wait, one day I’ll hang you up and give you a beating." Gu Zhou Jian said.

"I’ll give you three hundred years. If you can’t do it by then, I’ll keep provoking you. At that time, you can invite Yue Guang to help you beat me." Jun Wu Xiao said confidently.

"Hmph, three hundred years is enough. By then, I’ll beat you until you’re scared." she said.

But he just laughed and said, "If you can beat me, that’s a good thing. Why would I be scared of you? The stronger my friends and path companions become, the happier I am. That way, we can all have a chance to play together forever."

At this moment, the train had arrived at the capital. Gu Zhou Jian said:

"We’re here. Go get the motorbike and let’s head out. Also, I definitely won’t give up on cultivating. Until that day comes, I won’t stop, so you better worry about yourself."

Jun Wu Xiao just laughed and said:

"Ha ha, don’t forget that we are alike. If you don’t give up, neither will I."
