I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 360 - 244 Cadillac Phobia

Chapter 360: Chapter 244 Cadillac Phobia

Nobody offered a helping hand.

Chen Yun quickly stuffed the luggage into the trunk of Bai Shi’s Cadillac, then immediately took the carry case containing Bai Jin and sat in the passenger seat.

Bai Shi and the others immediately got into the car and did not linger at the airport entrance.

"Besides deciding where we might go for fun, do we have any other plans? Like, where are we headed now?"

Chen Yun asked, looking at the friends who had come to pick him up.

Although he phrased it casually, Chen Yun could easily tell, even without using spiritual power, that everyone seemed to carry quite a bit of luggage.

It seemed like they were all ready to set off.

"Let’s grab a meal to welcome you, and then hit the road right away!"

Bai Shi said with a smile as he drove the Cadillac out of the airport area.

The excitement, excitement, confusion, perplexity, curiosity, and fear that had been mixed in his expression were gone.

Instead, he spoke calmly about the plan.

Chen Yun nodded and didn’t say much, tacitly accepting the arrangement.

So.

The Cadillac, modified by Bai Shi, sped toward a certain pre-booked restaurant.

As the car reentered the old cobblestone streets of Shucheng, Chen Yun felt an indescribable sense of familiarity surge within him.

It had been about half a month since his last visit, and it seemed like every brick and every tree in this city was cloaked with a faint nostalgia.

Possessing superhuman hearing and sense of smell, Chen Yun’s world was much more vivid than that of ordinary people.

Stepping out of the wilds outside the airport into a nearby small town, a unique mixture of historical depth and modern life abruptly hit him.

He took a deep breath, his nostrils slightly flaring.

He identified every subtle scent in the air: the lingering aroma of tea from an old teahouse, mixed with the tempting smell of fried foods from a nearby snack stand, plus the fresh and slightly damp smell of the soil from the humid region. All of these mingled to create Shucheng’s unique olfactory landscape.

In his ears played a symphony unique to this place.

He could clearly capture every note: the sound of a Sichuan opera face-changing performance from deep in an alley, the laughter of children playing on the streets, the low whispers of old people chatting leisurely under tree shades, and even the gentle lapping of the distant river against the shore...

Chen Yun remained silent, his feelings complex.

This place was almost fifty or sixty kilometers from the center of Shucheng, a small county town under Shucheng’s jurisdiction, near which the airport was built.

The smells and sounds here were almost indistinguishable from those of the Shucheng where he usually lived.

Therefore,

a sense of familiarity naturally emerged.

After pondering for a moment,

The Cadillac quickly pulled up in front of a certain restaurant.

The restaurant wasn’t big, but it was quite lively with the flow of customers.

The car steadied itself in a parking spot right outside the restaurant.

Despite its unimpressive exterior, the restaurant’s name was written in a vintage font on the sign hanging over the door.

It exuded an elegant and warm vibe, attracting the eyes of passers-by.

Upon entering the restaurant, what first caught their eyes were the oil paintings on the walls depicting local scenes, which under the warm yellow lighting added an artistic flair to the small space.

Although the space was compact, the layout was clever, maintaining just the right amount of distance between each dining table.

The waiter, full of enthusiasm, led them to a pre-booked private room.

Upon entering, Chen Yun saw several main dishes already prepared on the table.

His powerful sense of smell allowed him to immediately discern that these were dishes involving snake meat, evidently prepared in advance to cater to his unique taste.

"Come on, let’s order some dishes."

Bai Shi sat down with a smile, urging everyone to continue ordering a few more dishes.

Then,

everyone started chatting.

The main reason for this gathering and outing was that Jiang Anping had recovered from his illness, and Chen Yun had just returned after a long absence.

Thus, the conversation naturally revolved around them.

However, when the topic shifted to Jiang Anping’s sudden recovery,

Bai Shi couldn’t help but steal glances at Chen Yun from time to time without making a sound. He alone knew the real possibility of Jiang Anping’s recovery.

But being a smart man, he said nothing and started chatting with Chen Yun, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time: "So, what’s with the long object wrapped in a plastic bag among your luggage?"

"I brought a few ginkgo tree saplings."

Chen Yun responded.

He didn’t elaborate on bringing saplings.

He couldn’t exactly say he was planting a tree that could live for thousands of years because he felt people couldn’t accompany him long, could he?

That would be absurd.

So, Chen Yun continued to eat while purposely steering the conversation elsewhere.

··························

Outside the restaurant.

Two young men carrying several bags of ingredients required by the kitchen slowly walked over.

Their uniforms made it clear they were also employees of the restaurant.

As they reached the door,

the shorter young man suddenly stopped, his voice filled with disbelief as he spoke to the man in front of him: "Brother Lei! Look at that car! Isn’t that the one we encountered before..."

The short young man’s voice faltered increasingly as he spoke.

His voice grew smaller,

and his expression suddenly filled with fear.

The man named Zhang Lei frowned, and instinctively followed the direction the young man was pointing.

He saw the Cadillac there.

The car’s design was simple yet powerful, featuring a shield-shaped grille in the front decorated with exquisite chromed trim around the edges, with the dazzling Cadillac emblem embedded in the center.

He inspected it closely for a while.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Lei’s forehead.

Then he shook his head vigorously.

"Damn it, Yang Haotian, don’t scare yourself. How could we possibly encounter that guy again?"

Zhang Lei patted his subordinate Yang Haotian on the back and continued walking forward.

He wasn’t sure if this was the same car in which one of four men had come out and beaten seven of them, since it had been early morning and still dark at the time.

He had been beaten until he saw stars, with no room to remember so many details.

He could only think the car looked somewhat familiar.

But he wasn’t sure.

So, he chose to ignore the car’s existence.

Upon seeing this.

Yang Haotian slowly followed.

However, he couldn’t help but look back three steps at a time, occasionally glancing at the Cadillac parked in its original spot, as if afraid it might suddenly devour him.

After all, the formidable man who appeared from that car had left him with a profound psychological shadow.

He still remembered following Brother Lei when they later sought opportunities at some upscale club, only to encounter that terrifying formidable man again.

Then they had been scared into running away.

Both people’s aircraft hairstyles and orange explosion hairstyles had obediently returned to ordinary black crew cuts.

Thinking to himself.

Looking at Brother Lei, who seemed not to be afraid at all, Yang Haotian took a deep breath and caught up.

However, after the two delivered the groceries to the kitchen and had not walked far from the bar,

they suddenly froze in place.

He saw an acquaintance holding a large bottle of Coke, slowly walking their way from the direction of the bar.

That familiar silhouette.

Yang Haotian swore he would never forget it in his lifetime.

It was that super formidable man!!!

Yang Haotian immediately realized that Cadillac at the door was the very same one from before!

At that moment, Yang Haotian felt his heart leap to his throat.

Intense nervousness and fear surged within him.

His gaze involuntarily followed the approaching figure.

Each step seemed to press on his heartstrings, relentlessly closing in, making his heartbeat thunder in his ears, almost drowning out the noisy voices in the restaurant’s lobby.

For Yang Haotian, this person was not only the embodiment of strength but also an untouchable presence.

An invisible pressure made his breathing quicken.

Sweat also began to quietly gather in the palms of his hands.

He instinctively wanted to look at Brother Lei next to him.

But he found that Brother Lei was not faring much better, his calves uncontrollably trembling, looking as though he would kneel at any moment.

This made Yang Haotian even more helpless.

As the formidable man drew closer, he too felt his calves begin to tremble.

As they were about to approach.

The overwhelming oppressive feeling made him involuntarily shut his eyes.

The next moment.

The acquaintance brushed past them.

Yang Haotian and Zhang Lei almost simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, both of them drenched in cold sweat as if they had just been fished out of water.

But before the two could say anything,

a voice came from behind near the stairs:

"You two..."

Before the voice could finish.

Zhang Lei next to Yang Haotian immediately turned around, his voice almost carrying a cry, "Big Brother! I changed my hairstyle! I really did change my hairstyle!"

Seeing him ready to kneel at any moment was evident.

If it weren’t for the crowd around, he would probably have knelt immediately.

Upon seeing this.

Yang Haotian also quickly nodded, wishing he could tear off his hair and place it right in front of Big Brother.

Big Brother had previously said twice that he was dissatisfied with their weird, colorful killer hairstyles.

And he had emphasized not to let him say it a third time.

Yang Haotian dared not speculate what would happen if he said it a third time, but he knew the outcome would definitely be very bad.

Perhaps they would end up like the nunchaku Big Brother had twisted and broken before?

Yang Haotian only knew.

He might have Cadillac phobia, a baseless disease in the future.

After all, suddenly encountering Big Brother was too frightening.

He feared that from now on, he would have a psychological shadow whenever he saw a Cadillac.

...

Holding a large bottle of Coke, Chen Yun looked at the two guys in front of him who were almost scared stiff.

His expression remained calm.

He naturally recognized the two guys.

Even if they drastically changed their hairstyles, they were unmistakably recognizable to Chen Yun.

The two guys had obediently changed their hairstyles and found jobs at a restaurant, no longer the shabby thugs they used to be.

For such sensible guys, Chen Yun naturally had no plans to do anything.

He called out to them because he suddenly had an idea.

"If you can’t make a living in the future, you can go to Heaven Nightclub and let Tan Bingtang or Tan Wenqing arrange a job for you; just say Bai Shi told you so."

After speaking.

Chen Yun turned and walked away, indifferent to their current reactions.

Arranging a job for them was also because he remembered that he had used a temporary membership card that cost quite a bit of money and belonged to these two.

Although he didn’t need it to enter Heaven Nightclub.

But he had indeed used it.

So, he stopped them to say these words.

Whether they listened was none of his concern now.

Encountering them was just an interlude.

Mentioning it was already considering they were somewhat sensible.

If they missed the opportunity due to their foolishness, then he had already done all that was morally right.
