“Is that a photo of you when you were 18?” Chen Yiming asked calmly, his eyelids twitching.

Mo Yanfei walked over to the cabinet on the large bed and placed the photo frame upright. She said in a low voice, “Yes, I was quite different back then.”

“Indeed. You looked much slimmer,” Chen Yiming commented as he glanced at the photo on the cabinet.

In the photo frame was a photo of Mo Yanfei smiling brightly. She was wearing a tank top and red shorts, revealing a pair of long, fair legs.

From the photo, her figure back then was flat instead of curvy, so there was a rather stark contrast.

Mo Yanfei turned around and said with a smile, “At that time, I was the goddess of the provincial martial arts school. There were so many suitors that they could line up all the way to the school gate.”

“Unfortunately, that style isn’t suited to my taste,” Chen Yiming said as he shook his head.

“I know,” Mo Yanfei replied.

If Chen Yiming liked the pure and innocent type, she wouldn’t have had a chance as she was now.

She walked back to Chen Yiming and said softly, “Wait a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, she walked to the cloakroom at the side and locked the door behind her.

Hearing the click of the lock,

Chen Yiming’s heart skipped a beat. He pulled out a chair and sat down.

He could only apologize to the transport team that was waiting for him in his heart. It might take some time before he could leave.

A few minutes later, a tearing sound came from the cloakroom, followed by Mo Yanfei’s cry for help.

“This dress is really too long. Can you come in and help me with it?”

There was a hint of seduction in her voice.

Chen Yiming understood her intention and walked over to the cloakroom.

He gently pushed open the door and entered the room.

A wide area near the city gate on the west side of the city

was where most of the logistics and transportation companies in East Lake City were located.

At this moment, more than 100 large trucks covered in steel plates were lined up and waiting in a row.

These large trucks had different styles, and many of them had signs of damage on the surface. These were the vehicles that East Lake City had temporarily repaired after the alien bird creatures attacked.

Fang Hongkun and the other leaders of the operation were sitting on the steps in front of a shop next to the convoy.

He was the deputy head of the logistics department in East Lake City, and also the person in charge of the convoy heading to Luoxi City. He was in charge of all the matters related to this operation.

The people in charge were originally chatting about the reconstruction work after the disaster, but the topic soon changed to Chen Yiming.

Feng Wenxing looked up at the sun and took the lead in complaining. “It’s almost noon. Why isn’t Chen Yiming here yet? He made us wait the entire morning.”

Fan Ronghua, who was at the side, sighed and said helplessly, “I’ve seen too many of these martial arts geniuses who are unreliable. It’s already not bad if he does come in the end.”

“Are we just going to wait?” Feng Wenxing said angrily.

“What else can we do? As long as one is strong enough, they will always have some special rights,” Fan Ronghua shrugged and replied.

Feng Wenxing’s expression froze when he heard this.

The news that Chen Yiming had broken through to the warrior candidate realm after practicing martial arts for close to a year had already spread.

Although Ren Pingsheng, a big shot at the second stage of the warrior realm, did not take him seriously, in the whole of East Lake City, only he would dare to say such a thing.

The other martial artists in East Lake City’s military and civilian factions all thought that Chen Yiming would soon become one of the new generation of warriors in East Lake City.

Therefore, Hong Yi, who was in charge of East Lake City’s government, had gone to visit him personally. Even the current head of the Mantis Snake Sword School, Wan Rong, didn’t care about the fact that he had indirectly caused Lin Yixuan’s death and wanted Chen Yiming to take over as the head.

“Put away your resentment. He’s here,” Fang Hongkun said calmly.

His tone was stern, and there was no room for disagreement.

Feng Wenxing took a deep breath. He knew that the most important thing was to successfully transport the supplies back, so he could only suppress his emotions.

At this moment, a figure walked over from a kilometer or two away.

The person was Chen Yiming, who had secretly returned to East Lake City and changed into his training robes.

He sighed in his heart. It was all Mo Yanfei’s fault for being too passionate. He had momentarily lost control and was delayed by a few more hours.

The two sides quickly met.

Chen Yiming took the initiative to apologize. “I suddenly had some inspiration when I was drawing the concept diagram, and I lost track of time.”

“It’s alright. We’ll have lunch on the road. We won’t be delayed by too much,” Fang Hongkun said with a smile.

His tone was gentle, completely unlike the way he had issued orders to the people he was in charge of earlier.

When Feng Wenxing heard this, he suddenly felt aggrieved.

How long would it take to eat a meal? Compared to the time they had waited the whole morning, the difference in duration was tenfold.

However, his department head had no intention of blaming Chen Yiming for being late. Instead, he had taken the initiative to help him out.

“Drive as fast as you can,” Chen Yiming said.

At the same time, the figure in his spiritual world turned into a black fog. The black fog spread out to create what seemed like a dark and terrifying world.

This was the concept diagram of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique. After snatching the picture from Lin Yixuan, he managed to learn it in seconds.

After cultivating a trace of the black fog internal force in his body, he released it in his palm. His entire palm momentarily turned black.

This was what he had planned on the way back.

After mastering the transformation of his internal force, there were not many things that could threaten his life. It was time for him to appear on the stage as a warrior.

With the status he would gain, it would be more convenient for him to plan his cultivation, whether it was to gather more intelligence or to find sword manuals and cultivation methods for the next stage.

Seeing this, Feng Wenxing felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

His vision darkened and he fell back.

“Huh?” Chen Yiming glanced at him.

He lowered his hand. The demonstration he had prepared was unexpectedly interrupted.

Fan Ronghua was the first to react. He stretched out his leg and caught the back of Feng Wenxing’s head.

“Did he get a heat stroke?”

The others reacted immediately and hurriedly went over to help him sit up.

“Why did he suddenly faint?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

A martial arts practitioner’s physical fitness was not something an ordinary person could compare with. Compared to him, the other person’s skill in martial arts might not be very good, but his body should not be so weak.

Fan Ronghua, who knew the reason, helped to resolve the situation. “He has low blood sugar. He probably forgot to eat breakfast, and the sun is too hot at noon.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

Although he still felt that it was a little strange, such a small matter was not worth thinking about. In the blink of an eye, he threw it to the back of his mind.

“Fan Ronghua, get someone to bring Feng Wenxing to the hospital. We’ll set off immediately,” Fang Hongkun instructed with a straight face.

“No problem. After I settle him down, I’ll follow the last truck,” Fan Ronghua replied.

After the 100-over large trucks set off, they needed to register and pass through the city gate one by one.

During this time, every large truck had to start and stop countless times. It would take at least 10 to 20 minutes to leave the city.

After settling the small incident, Fang Hongkun led Chen Yiming to the back seat of an off-road vehicle.

Under the lead of the off-road vehicle, the large trucks lined up and drove openly on the main road towards the city gate.

From a distance, the convoy looked like a long dragon, with a distance of two to three kilometers between its head and tail.

In the end, it took nearly half an hour for all the trucks to exit the city, which was a little longer than expected.

Then, the convoy set off along the provincial road.

Along the way, they would enter a few cities to replenish their fuel. In about three to four days, they would cross a distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers and reach Luoxi City.

On the first day, at 8 pm, the sky was getting dark, and the sun had already set.

The convoy arrived at the planned parking spot, and everything was going smoothly.
