Time flew by, and seasons changed—Ao Luan finally mastered a great skill.

"This time, there's definitely no problem."

She picked up a bowl of fragrant ramen, walking into Wanling Hall with great excitement.

As soon as she entered, a stone suddenly flew towards her face.

Ao Luan frowned slightly, thoughts moving in her mind, a flash of cold light flew from her waist, buzzing as it struck the stone, shattering it into pieces on the ground.

"Why are there stones here?"

Ao Luan was puzzled when suddenly she heard crying.

It was the sound of a child crying.

"A child?"

Ao Luan looked toward the sound and saw a human boy running over.

The boy was only three or four years old, quite short, and wobbling as he ran, just having learned to walk, he ran over and hugged the pieces of stone, crying.

Ao Luan was surprised; she had been gone only a few days, and now in the Wanling Hall, besides stones flying around, there was also a child running amok?

"Man Qian, stop crying."

Sun Wukong came over and bent down to pat the boy's head: "I'll fix it for you."

He pointed to the ground, and the pieces reassembled, turning back into an unscathed stone.

The boy immediately smiled brightly and hugged the stone.

Her brother was actually taking care of a child!?

Watching this scene, Ao Luan felt a bit flustered: "Brother, who is this child?"

"He's a new disciple of the Emperor."

Sun Wukong answered.

Emperor Donghua then stepped out from Wanling Hall and nodded to Ao Luan.

Ao Luan let out a sigh of relief.

"So he's the Emperor's disciple."

She then wondered: "Why is he so young?"

"He was brought here shortly after he was born."

Sun Wukong replied, then suddenly his trouser leg twitched.

He looked down to find the boy tugging at his trousers, those black and shiny eyes filled with expectation.

"Haven't had enough fun?"

Sun Wukong understood and smiled, then wrote the character for 'fly' on the stone.

The stone seemed to grow wings and started to lazily float around the empty space in Wanling Hall.

The boy immediately stumbled after the stone, giggling as he chased it.

"Brother..."

Witnessing this scene, Ao Luan's heart was filled with warmth. Sun Wukong, who usually seemed so wooden, was so good at coaxing children.

No, that's not the point!

Ao Luan cast away her thoughts and asked, "Brother, you can already turn characters into spells?"

"I'm still studying it."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "Only a few characters."

Ao Luan looked at Sun Wukong with full admiration in her eyes. Even if it was only a few characters, he was already quite amazing.

She hadn't grasped anything herself.

"Did you make noodles again today?"

When Sun Wukong saw the ramen in Ao Luan's hand, he had a headache.

"Brother."

Ao Luan was full of confidence this time: "I added fresh peaches to this bowl of ramen, you're sure to like it."

"Fresh peaches?"

Sun Wukong was astonished by Ao Luan's baffling confidence.

He turned his head to look at Emperor Donghua, just in time to meet his curious gaze.

"Would the Emperor like to try?"

Sun Wukong asked.

Emperor Donghua nodded; he hadn't eaten yet, so with a wave of his long sleeve, the ramen went from Ao Luan's hand to his in an instant.

"You—"

Ao Luan bit her lip, speaking coldly: "Give it back to me."

Emperor Donghua paid her no heed, taking a curious bite.

"Ptui—"

The moment he swallowed, his expression changed and he spat it back out.

"Are you trying to kill someone with ramen?"

Emperor Donghua looked at Ao Luan with shocked eyes.

"This fellow..."

Even the usually slow-witted Ao Luan could see the mockery in his eyes.

He had snatched her noodles and even dared to call them tasteless!

With a huff, Emperor Donghua returned the ramen to Ao Luan and walked over to the boy, picking him up and heading out of the hall.

The boy didn't understand what was happening, yiyiyaya, happily swinging on the Emperor's arm like a swing.

"This child will certainly achieve greatness in the future!"

The surrounding Immortal Officials and Fairies thought to themselves upon seeing this scene.

When this boy grows up, he will surely be no ordinary figure.

"Wouldn't the Emperor stay a while longer?"

Sun Wukong asked.

Emperor Donghua paused his footsteps and looked back at him.

"Bull Demon King's place? That's great, I'm heading there too, Ao Luan, you..."

Sun Wukong was about to ask Ao Luan if she wanted to go out together, but saw a bowl of ramen placed in front of him.

"Brother, you must not waste food."

Ao Luan said.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, looking at Ao Luan with some surprise. She was usually easy-going, so why was she so insistent about ramen?

He looked at Emperor Donghua again, only to see that his figure had already disappeared.

"Quiet and tranquil."

Sun Wukong turned around and called the pitiful Quiet and Tranquil.

Quiet and Tranquil came over with trembling legs, their faces pale as they looked at the steaming bowl of ramen, then gave Ao Luan a pleading look.

"Granny, can you please not do this?"

"We are the ones who have to eat it every time!"

With tears in their eyes, they ate the ramen and, as expected, collapsed to the ground.

Ao Luan was a bit angry, but who could blame Sun Wukong for being a blockhead.

After dealing with the ramen, Ao Luan started asking Sun Wukong about the boy.

She also noticed that this boy was extraordinary.

How could an ordinary human boy be taken as a disciple by Emperor Donghua and also have Sun Wukong personally accompany him for fun.

"The boy's name is Dongfang Shuo, styled Man Qian."

Sun Wukong told Ao Luan: "As for everything else, I cannot say much right now."

Dongfang Shuo was personally nurtured by the Emperor, who even prohibited Sun Wukong from saying his name.

Telling Ao Luan the name already meant a great amount of trust.

Ao Luan was smart and nodded without asking further.

She prepared to take leave but asked again, "Brother, do you have any plans today?"

"Not really."

Sun Wukong was planning to go to the library to read, but it didn't matter, so he asked, "Do you need something?"

Ao Luan immediately said, "Grandmaster asked me to go to Mountain and Sea City for an important discussion. Brother, if you are free, you could accompany me there."

"Alright."

Sun Wukong nodded, it had been some days since he had been to Mountain and Sea City.

The two left Wanling Hall together, first catching up with Emperor Donghua and eating ramen together.

After the ramen, Sun Wukong transformed into an ordinary Daoist, and asked Ao Luan to change her appearance too.

"Why do we need to change appearances?"

Ao Luan asked, somewhat surprised.

"The Dragon Car is now in operation."

Sun Wukong replied: "I want to see it."

Dragon Car was the name given by Immortal Zhenyuan for the new mode of transportation.

Ao Luan had no choice but to transform into a beautiful Daoist nun and flew with Sun Wukong to Mountain and Sea City.

Before they landed, they saw a strange object hundreds of meters long parked at one end of the port, with tracks extending into the distance.

That was the Dragon Car, each carriage was connected one by one, with runes engraved on them, and the leading one was even carved into a majestic dragon's head.

The carriages of the Dragon Car had rows of seats, unlike the traditional horse-drawn carriages, with about ten rows each, large windows on both sides so that the passengers could easily enjoy the view outside.

The runes on the outside of the carriage was also designed to look like dragon scales, glinting silver in the sunlight.

Sun Wukong saw that the design of this Dragon Car was not very similar to the trains recorded in the Heavenly Book.

But it was very beautiful, the dragon head and carriage were painted white, pure and beautiful, like a real White Dragon.

"White Dragon?"

Ao Luan voiced her dissatisfaction.

The name written on the carriage's exterior wall was White Dragon.

"You are much prettier than it."

Sun Wukong looked at Ao Luan, knowing that she was originally a White Dragon and hence her dissatisfaction.

Ao Luan, hearing Sun Wukong's praise that she was pretty, immediately put her dissatisfaction aside.

"Actually, it's not bad, when it starts moving, it really does resemble a White Dragon somewhat."

Ao Luan said, she could accept this design by Immortal Zhenyuan this time.

"There are a total of seven Dragon Cars operating in Mountain and Sea City, each of different colors."

Sun Wukong said, clearly Immortal Zhenyuan did not abandon his fondness for rainbows.

"Tickets for the Dragon Car to the inner city right here~"

A demon shouted in front of the Dragon Car.

The two bought tickets and boarded the car, and after a short while, the Dragon Car started, heading towards the inner city of Mountain and Sea City.

Sitting on the Dragon Car and watching the cityscape was quite novel for Sun Wukong.

He looked out the window for a while, but then turned his head to meet Ao Luan's gaze directly.

It seemed she was staring at him the whole time.

Sun Wukong felt a strange sensation.

"What do you think about this thing that Immortal designed?"

He continued to ask.

"It's alright."

Ao Luan shifted her eyes slightly, replying: "It's just too slow."

The speed of the Dragon Car wasn't much faster than a horse carriage.

"No worries, it will get faster in the future."

Sun Wukong said.

The original design of the Dragon Car was to be much faster, but due to carrying too many people, it exceeded the power the runes on the ground could provide, therefore slowing it down.

But as the first generation of Dragon Cars, its current speed was already sufficient.
