Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Road Rage Lady Driver

After dealing with the Corpse King and absorbing all the Deceitful Qi.

Lin Yuan directly left with Wen Yingying and Bai Ling'er.

The Corpse King just died, yet the powerful aura of the Evil Spirits still lingered.

At the very least, this place is safe for tonight.

Lin Yuan has already reminded the survivors to hide here tonight and return home in the daylight tomorrow.

As for whether they heed his advice or not, Lin Yuan couldn't care less.

The recently "zero-cost acquired" Range Rover Defender was parked at the entrance, and this time, Lin Yuan absolutely refused to let Bai Ling'er drive.

If Bai Ling'er drove again, he'd end up dead not by the Evil Spirits, but by this female driver Bai Ling'er.

However, Lin Yuan had a second thought.

Bai Ling'er is a demon, which technically counts as an Evil Spirit.

Dying at her hands could still be considered dying to an Evil Spirit.

Lin Yuan drove back to Wushan Kunwu; slaying the Tier Seven Corpse King alone was rewarding enough for tonight.

Now, it's time to return to the villa and let Wen Yingying test out her tattoo's abilities.

After awakening the tattoo, each person receives different abilities.

Ultimately, the abilities are inevitably related to the tattoo itself.

Wen Yingying's tattoo is Princess Iron Fan, a figure from mythology.

Her tattoo's abilities are unlikely to be weak.

...

"Let me drive for a bit!"

"It's so boring just sitting in the passenger seat!"

"I'm begging you, I want to drive!"

"Lin Yuan, are you listening to me?"

"Did you take the wrong turn?"

"Can you drive a little faster?"

"Lin Yuan, you were supposed to turn left just now, but you turned right!"

"Ah!"

...

...

How would you feel if there's a female driver nagging at you while you're driving?

In short, Lin Yuan's head was about to explode.

"Damn it!"

"This damn blabbermouth fox!" Lin Yuan cursed inwardly.

If it weren't for having to keep both hands on the wheel, Lin Yuan swore he'd let Bai Ling'er know the meaning of a fist the size of a casserole.

Lin Yuan couldn't stand Bai Ling'er's nagging in the passenger seat any longer and laid down the law: "I can let you drive."

"But, you have to promise to keep the speed under 100."

"If you exceed it by a single kilometer, I swear I'll revoke your driving privileges for life, and make you my car."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan agree to let her drive, Bai Ling'er's eyes sparkled like stars, looking incredulous.

"Really, you'll let me drive?" Bai Ling'er exclaimed joyfully.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "No speeding."

"Mm-hmm!" Bai Ling'er nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken, saying repeatedly, "Okay! Okay!"

"I promise, not over 80!"

To avoid Bai Ling'er's nagging in the passenger seat, Lin Yuan parked the car by the roadside and switched seats with Bai Ling'er.

Now, they were on the city ring road, but with no one daring to go out at night anymore.

So Lin Yuan parked directly on the overpass, feeling it was safe enough.

It's fair to say, the infrastructure in Peng City was still in good shape.

Despite the bizarre invasion being on its third day, the streetlights on the overpass were still shining.

After swapping seats, Bai Ling'er sat in the driver's seat, her eyes forming crescents of joy.

Bai Ling'er had two major hobbies, gaming and driving.

Sitting in the back seat, Wen Yingying fastened her seatbelt promptly and clutched the side handle tightly.

Even sitting in the back, actively securing the seatbelt was Wen Yingying's greatest acknowledgment of Bai Ling'er's driving skills.

"Sister Ling'er, drive slowly!" Wen Yingying said nervously from the back seat.

In the passenger seat, Lin Yuan glared at Bai Ling'er, remarking irritably, "If you hit over 100, I assure you she'll never sit in the driver's seat again."

"Meow!"

As Bai Ling'er prepared to start the car, a cat's meow suddenly pierced the air, and a black cat darted across the hood.

Encountering a black cat on the road?

In this version of Supernatural Invasion 1.0, even before such events, it was considered a bad omen.

In general, when driving, if a cat, dog, or weasel-like creature crossed your path, you'd toss a coin out.

The superstitious saying was that such animals were blocking your way!

You better turn back, or if you must proceed, leave a coin as road fare.

"Is it..."

"Is it an Evil Spirit?" Wen Yingying asked Lin Yuan dazedly, looking in the direction of the black cat.

Lin Yuan frowned, responding, "No Deceitful Qi; it doesn't seem to be an Evil Spirit!"

Gripping the steering wheel, Bai Ling'er remarked testily, "Superstitious nonsense, it's just an ordinary black cat."

Then Bai Ling'er floored the gas pedal, accelerating while shouting, "Lady is driving, clear the way."

"Cough, cough!" Lin Yuan glanced at the dashboard, coughing lightly as a reminder.

To avoid having her lifelong driving right revoked, Bai Ling'er eased off the pedal, maintaining the speed at 100.

Gotta say, Bai Ling'er's control was commendable.

She could keep it firmly under 100 as required.

You have to respect that!

The vehicle continued navigating through with the onboard GPS; Bai Ling'er's driving skill was quite decent if not speeding.

"Just drive properly!"

"Don't pull any shenanigans, and you can be the full-time driver, driving every day."

"But if you don't behave, don't dream about driving again in this lifetime!" Lin Yuan said from the passenger seat.

Tilting her chin proudly, Bai Ling'er said, "How's that, my driving skill isn't....."

Before she finished, a "bang" echoed as Bai Ling'er suddenly hit something, sending it flying.

"Screech!"

Bai Ling'er hit the brakes hard, bringing the car to an abrupt stop.

However, as soon as the car stopped, Lin Yuan immediately detected a hint of Deceitful Qi.

It was evident; Bai Ling'er hadn't just hit a person but an Evil Spirit.

"Not a person?"

"An Evil Spirit!" Lin Yuan began to say, but Bai Ling'er stormed out, slamming the door in frustration.

"Bastard!"

"Which bastard dares block my path, it's my first accident ever!"

"Come out and see if I don't strip your skin!" Bai Ling'er cursed angrily like a wrathful road-raged driver.

Lin Yuan also got out to assess the situation, calculating the odds of such a brash spirit daring to block their path.

It was the perfect chance to deal with it. Although they'd already slain a Tier Seven Corpse King today with decent gains.

Still, any gains, even small ones, were welcome.

Yet, as Lin Yuan and Bai Ling'er circled the car, they found nothing of what Bai Ling'er had supposedly hit.

Lin Yuan approached the front, inspecting the bumper.

The bumper wasn't damaged at all, not looking like it had hit anything.

But Lin Yuan distinctly remembered Bai Ling'er hitting an Evil Spirit, both feeling the intense impact.

Given the collision, logically, the bumper shouldn't be without any traces.
