Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Drunk and Unaware of the Sky Above the Water, a Boat Full of Clear Dreams Presses Against the Milky Way (1st Update)
The scorching sun was baking the earth; on such a day, no one wished to venture outside.
Yet at the An Family, the two little girls, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, were comfortably sprawled on Xue An’s back, watching television.
An Yan leaned on Xue An’s shoulder, fiddling with her mobile phone.
The room was cool and pleasant, completely free of summer heat.
In An Yan’s words, leaning against Xue An was even more comfortable than being next to an air conditioner.
“Husband…,” An Yan suddenly shifted her gaze from her phone.
“Hmm?” Xue An turned his head to look at her.
“Do you know what day it is the day after tomorrow?” An Yan said mysteriously.
Xue An frowned and thought for a moment, “World Water Day?”
A hint of disappointment flashed in An Yan’s eyes, “Anything else?”
“Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the Gangdisha Republic?”
An Yan’s expression became somewhat gloomy, but she still responded in a low voice.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect you knew that!”
Xue An laughed, “Your husband knows astrology and geography, 50,000 years into the past and the future—you didn’t think a little issue like this could stump me!”
“Oh!” An Yan sounded somewhat lackluster.
A long time passed.
“Yan’er…”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s go out of town for fun tomorrow, shall we?”
“To where?”
“You’ll know if you come with me, I’ve already arranged everything. We’ll camp outdoors tonight, how does that sound?”
Xue An’s words triggered a strong reaction from the two little girls.
“Yes, yes! Watching TV at home all day is so boring!” Xue Xiang was the first to agree.
Xue Nian furrowed her brows and thought for a while, then timidly said, “Then… can we take the refrigerator with us? I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat ice cream!”
Xue An laughed heartily, “No problem!”
Seeing her husband and daughters so excited, a shadow of sadness flickered across An Yan’s eyes, but then she nodded, “Okay!”
The next day.
A brand-new RV was parked in the yard.
It was specially dispatched by the Chen Family, who even offered a driver, but Xue An had refused.
The family boarded the vehicle, spirits high.
An Yan was a bit uneasy. “Husband, do you know how to drive?”
Xue An chuckled, “What a joke, there’s nothing in The Multiverse Realms that your husband can’t do!”
Ten minutes later…
An Yan looked resignedly at the RV, which had only inched forward a few meters, “Husband, at this rate, by this time tomorrow, we’ll just be getting out of the house!”
Xue An felt a bit embarrassed by this, “Haha, I find this thing so novel, I was just teasing you all!”
After saying that, Xue An gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing slightly as a powerful Divine Sense surged from his forehead.
Under the influence of Xue An’s powerful Divine Sense, the RV deconstructed into its most basic components, and then Xue An directly started the vehicle with his Divine Sense.
“Ladies, please buckle your seatbelts, we’re about to take off!”
As Xue An spoke, the RV shot out of the house like an arrow released from its bow.
Today, Zhongdu was as congested as ever.
The flow of traffic on the roads was moving slowly.
Yet in this situation, the RV that Xue An was driving was like a shark breaking out of the deep sea, dodging left and right through the traffic, speeding along at an incredibly fast pace.
Many drivers watched agape at the spectacle.
They had never imagined such a bulky vehicle flying at this speed.
Impossible gaps were threaded one by one by this vehicle, with peak-time maneuvers that filled the drive with a sense of beauty.
“Holy smokes, who’s driving? Schumacher?” someone exclaimed.
Inside the car, Xue An leaned comfortably in the driver’s seat, leisurely sipping tea.
With his overwhelming Divine Sense, he could clearly see all the vehicles and road conditions within dozens of miles, making driving seem effortless to him.
An Yan could only laugh and cry at this.
Was this considered cheating?
But even if it was cheating, it was the most impressive cheating in history!
Xiangshan.
A scenic spot outside of Zhongdu, where during the autumn, the entire mountain would turn as red as layered forests in full dye, a sight so beautiful it hardly seemed of this world.
But the season hadn’t arrived yet, so there were few tourists.
Xue An drove the RV all the way to the lakeside.
Once they got out of the vehicle, the cool breeze between the valleys was refreshing to both mind and body.
“What a beautiful lake!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were very happy to see such clear, jade-like waters.
Xue An smiled, “Let’s go boating on the lake!”
The Chen Family’s arrangements were extremely thoughtful, not only providing an RV but also a small boat moored by the lake.
After the family boarded the boat,
Xue An didn’t start the boat’s engine, but instead used his cultivation level to steer the boat around the lake.
At this moment, it was nearing dusk, and the sunlight had lost its fierceness, becoming gentle.
There were many high-end ingredients prepared on the boat, and it was fully equipped, even with a grill.
So Xue An was grilling while taking his family for a leisurely trip across the lake’s surface.
The two little girls, eating the barbecue, chattered away about their little girl matters.
“Yesterday you ate two more ice creams than me, so today you can only have three!” Xue Xiang counted on her fingers.
“No way, I didn’t!” When it came to food, especially her favorite ice cream, Xue Nian’s eyes began to sparkle.
“What do you mean, no way? Can you even count?” Xue Xiang put her hands on her hips and scolded unceremoniously.
“Of course I can! Hmph, just watch, one vanilla ice cream, one cream ice cream…” Xue Nian began to count with her chubby little fingers, but as she counted, she already started drooling.
“Fine then! I’ll give you that you can count, but you ate two more than me yesterday, what about that?”
“Then… how about I let you take two bites today?” Xue Nian, with wide eyes, said somewhat aggrievedly.
Watching the two little girls bickering over ice cream below,
Xue An and An Yan both laughed.
They sat at the bow of the boat, facing the mountain breeze, slowly drinking beer.
A feeling known as happiness filled the small boat.
“It’s so nice!” An Yan exclaimed softly.
Xue An just smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Soon, the sun set, and the full moon rose.
Being far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the moonlight here was clearer than other places.
Even the stars shone more brightly and splendidly.
And the tranquil, unrippled surface of the lake resembled a flawless mirror, reflecting the stars and moon above.
Gliding through, it was hard to tell if they were in the sky or on the water.
Even the two little girls unconsciously lowered their voices, as if afraid to disturb the beauty before them.
An Yan looked on, her eyes shining, seemingly lost in the view.
She murmured softly, “Not knowing the sky from water after getting drunk, a boat full of dreams pressing down the Milky Way! What beautiful scenery!”
Xue An, beside her, smiled silently, still slowly savoring his drink.
As the night deepened, An Yan took the two daughters back to sleep in the RV while Xue An sat by the lake, took out his phone, and sent a group message.
“Get ready!”
