Chapter 363: Chapter 246 Continue the Music, Continue the Dance

Next, the Cadillac embarked on a long journey on the highway from a small county town.

The journey, which was close to four hundred kilometers, posed no problem for a seasoned driver, but it certainly wasn’t considered short.

The whole trip required at least three to four hours of time.

Onboard time was relatively dull, and although they occasionally saw some nice scenery while passing through the highway, most of the time, it was the monotonous sight of roads and vehicles.

Aside from Bai Shi, who was focused on driving, everyone in the car was busy with their own things.

Light jazz music played inside the car, trying to add a touch of comfort to the journey.

Chen Yun, in the passenger seat, read his novel with calmness.

However, the speed of his page-turning had reached a rate incomprehensible to ordinary people.

In the back seat, Jiang Anping and Sun Huwen each submerged in their own worlds.

Jiang Anping wore headphones, softly humming along to the music, flipping through a book about travel photography, occasionally looking out the window as if searching for the next moment worth capturing.

Sun Huwen, with her tablet on, delved into the latest downloaded TV series, occasionally looking up into the distance, her thoughts drifting between reality and virtual stories.

In today’s society.

It’s indeed hard to find someone who doesn’t kill time with a phone or tablet while riding in a car.

If there are any,

It must be because they suffer from motion sickness and so choose to sleep to skip the journey, just like the skip button in a video game.

Chen Yun once fell between these two scenarios.

He didn’t get car sick when he rode.

But as soon as he played with his phone in the car, he would suddenly become very, very dizzy.

But now,

Chen Yun, who was leisurely reading his novel, did not feel dizzy in the slightest.

Feeling entirely clear-headed, with no difference from being on level ground.

Motion sickness is mainly due to a conflict of information when the vestibular system in the inner ear senses body movement, which clashes with what the eyes see or what the brain anticipates.

The vestibular system is responsible for maintaining balance, and when it receives intense or persistent discordant motion signals, it mistakenly believes the body is poisoned or in danger, triggering autonomic dysfunction and causing symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

But Chen Yun didn’t experience any such sickness now.

His perception ability and brain-processing power were comprehensive and strong.

The possibility of conflict between parts of perception information was not at all likely.

Therefore,

He could not only read novels on his phone in the car but the reading pace was also incredibly fast.

Just like that,

Everyone in the car kept themselves busy.

The sky gradually darkened with the drive, and vehicles on the highway started to light up.

The world outside the car windows was slowly replaced by the soft twilight and twinkling lights,

Although the sunset was still high, the sky hadn’t completely darkened yet.

Before long,

The car drove into an exit ramp, leaving the highway via the toll station and entering the small county town near the foothills.

The outline of the small town became clearer under the interplay of nightfall and lights, a quiet and tranquil contrast to the hurried pace of the highway.

Low-rise buildings on both sides of the streets shone with warm yellow lights, and many shops were filled with lively chatter and the aroma of food,

Attracting the attention of passersby travelers.

The car slowly passed through the not-so-wide streets, heading towards the inn booked in advance, with trees on both sides gently swaying in the breeze.

The scenery of this small valley town was indeed nice.

Surrounded on three sides by continuous high mountains, with large forest scenic areas on the mountains.

As it connected with Hengduan Mountains and other mountain ranges of the southwest region, only a small part of this forest area was open to the public, with farther and deeper parts remaining primitive forests.

Jiang Anping in the back seat silently recorded everything with his camera.

Even Chen Yun sneakily took a few more glances.

These stunning landscapes were one of the important factors in his decision to travel the world.

Just looking at them made him feel relaxed and joyful.

In the middle of the town, there was a quiet lake reflecting the city’s lights.

The inns here were truly situated among mountains and beside water.

As the car traveled along the lakeside road, many fishermen could be seen gathered from afar.

Soon,

The car stopped in front of a small courtyard.

Chen Yun, holding Bai Jin, got out of the car first, with the rest following with their luggage.

As soon as everyone got out,

They were immediately hit by waves of scorching heat, and sweat began visibly forming.

All but Chen Yun frowned.

The silly dog Bai Jin panted heavily from the heat, a complete change from his demeanor in the car.

Even though it was turning dark, the heat of the early summer remained intense.

There was no sense of it while in the car.

After all, the Cadillac, modified by Bai Shi, had superb functions—leading especially in air conditioning.

At the onset of what promised to be a hot summer, some car’s air conditioning was practically useless when running.

But Bai Shi’s modified Cadillac was the exception.

The cool breeze was like frost at the flick of one switch, frostbite at two, and the Northern Lights at three.

So, it was a completely different sensation inside the car compared to outside.

Chen Yun, however, felt nothing in particular.

To him, there was no difference inside or outside the car.

It wasn’t that he had lost his ability to perceive temperature—on the contrary, his perception of temperature had become much stronger than it ever was.

It was just that after his evolution,

the threshold for enduring heat and cold had risen, so such minor changes in temperature were barely noticeable—even when felt, they weren’t uncomfortable.

After all, with his current self able to withstand his own thermal sight attacks of two thousand degrees without harm, a mere change of around thirty degrees was even less significant.

His own body was now permanently at a constant temperature, without the slightest fluctuation.

Even sweat had ceased to appear after his first evolution.

So,

with an air of nonchalance, Chen Yun led Bai Jin towards the courtyard ahead, while the others couldn’t help but show a mixture of frowns and resignation.

Fortunately, the scenery here was pleasant, easing most of the irritation.

After completing the check-in at the decently scenic and equipped guest house, they rushed out for food as soon as they put their luggage down.

It was too late to go up the mountain for a tour.

Thus, having dinner became even more important.

Chen Yun was indifferent to most foods here, but he still accompanied everyone, occasionally eating small amounts of food without appetite to keep up appearances.

This place, close to the tourist area, was an exceedingly small town dedicated solely to serving the area.

As a result, a plethora of delicacies were available everywhere.

Nearly every street here was a food street, nearly every building a guesthouse.

They went out around seven o’clock in the evening.

And didn’t return until after ten.

At this hour, of course, no one went straight to sleep—instead, they chose to gather on the guesthouse rooftop to gaze at the distant scenery.

Night fell, and the three verdant sides of the mountains gently enclosed the tranquil small town, as if nestled in the sturdy arms of nature.

The sky resembled deep velvet, sprinkled with stars like ancient lanterns, silently telling stories unknown to man.

Under this starry sky, the town slept in soft night colors, countless lights twinkling at the foot of the mountains, echoing the stars above and weaving a warm and mysterious tapestry.

The guesthouse rooftop became the perfect viewing platform for this serene night.

The weather had also cooled down by then.

Standing there, a gentle evening breeze blew,

carrying the unique freshness and coolness of the mountains, caressing faces and whisking away the day’s fatigue.

In front, a tranquil lake lay like a mirror set amid the valleys.

Moonlight poured onto it, with glimmering ripples and flickering silver light, softly enfolding the surrounding mountain shadows within its embrace.

It seemed as if the whole world was submerged in a dreamlike peace.

In the distance, the mountainous outlines became more profound against the night, mirroring the reflections on the lake’s surface to create a scene where nature and tranquility melded perfectly.

Occasionally, the call of a night bird pierced the silence, adding a touch of wilderness and liveliness.

Such captivating scenery drew Jiang Anping and Sun Huwen to take pictures sincerely.

But on closer inspection,

shadows loomed by the lakeside of the small town, reminiscent of fishermen.

From such a distance, details weren’t clear—only guesses that they were fishermen could be made.

Even for Chen Yun, with his perception range of six hundred meters, they were too distant to see clearly.

"Damn, night fishing?"

"Fishermen are truly dedicated."

Bai Shi couldn’t help but exclaim.

In response, Chen Yun silently retorted, "Where there’s water, fishermen seem to spawn indiscriminately at any time. What time is it even?"

"Should we give it a try tomorrow? I think I saw fishing gear for rent when we came before."

Bai Shi suggested.

Fishing might actually be somewhat interesting?

Chen Yun neither agreed nor disagreed.

He was out to have fun, and anything would do.

After all, he planned to travel and experience all sorts of things next.

As for fishing,

it did seem intriguing, and he had never tried it before.

Thinking this, a faint smile played across Chen Yun’s lips as he gazed again at the quiet surface of the lake.

For him, the significance of travel wasn’t just in visiting famous mountains and rivers; it lay even more in those unintended little surprises and the unknown.

All those interesting things, he wanted to try them all.

This indeed was one of the reasons for his planned global travels.

With this strength and the means now at his disposal, it would be a great pity not to explore.

The phrase "The world is so big, I want to see it" was no longer just talk at this moment.

He’d been cautious and focused on getting stronger for so long.

Now he had the confidence to go out and see, to experience the beautiful scenery of the world.

To experience all that he never could have before.

This included not only natural landscapes

but also countless different professions and experiences.

Such a future, drifting leisurely through the world,

even the thought of it found Chen Yun feeling exceptionally intrigued.

After lying low for so long, shouldn’t he enjoy life a bit?

Let the music play, let the dance continue!
