There is a classic book called "The Book of Gods" in the ancient continent of Yuegu.

Under the heavens, there is no land without gods. On the ancient continent of Yuegu, no matter which race, they are all devout followers of the Supreme God. Therefore, every family has its own "Book of Gods".

The "Book of Gods" can be said to be an encyclopedia of the ancient continent of Yuegu. It is also the only book qualified to engrave the name of the Supreme God. It tells the origin of the gods and their followers, and also depicts some legendary stories.

Among those magnificent miracles, there is mention of a sky-high mist that shrouds the uppermost layer of the sky.

The magical industry of the Thorn Empire is renowned throughout the world. Many magical products and devices have world-class craftsmanship. However, when it comes to aviation equipment, the southern countries undoubtedly have more advantages in technology. But even in the Tot Empire, where the aviation technology is top-notch, it is impossible for their aircraft to pass through the high-altitude mist.

This is not a technological flaw, but there is a transparent mist in the airspace above civilian aircraft, which can render all martial qi, magic, and electronic devices completely ineffective.

So the "Book of Gods" says that it is a barrier used by the Supreme God to protect this land.

As for whether it is true or not, it is hard to say. People are too lazy to investigate. Anyway, since it is a statement in the classic of the Gods' religion, it must be correct. At least, the clear blue sky and white clouds at this moment prove this.

For the city of Ukampa, such clear weather in the rainy spring of March is rare, so Lun Hui and Rhythm Nolan, who are driving on the ring road, are in a good mood.

"You don't have to take me to buy furniture, right? Hasn't that villa already been decorated?" After breakfast, Lun Hui, full and satisfied, burped without any image.

"That place was originally a model villa, but few people visit it. The decoration and furniture are of high standards, but it doesn't mean that I can be satisfied with them. Especially the furniture in my own room, I don't want to use ready-made ones," Rhythm Nolan frowned. "And you also need to buy some furniture for yourself. Since you don't have a car, I don't mind giving you a ride."

"I don't care much about those. Instead of buying fancy furniture or throwing things out of my room as the first thing I do, I don't like rooms that are too luxurious," Lun Hui adopted an indifferent attitude. "But speaking of cars, I do need to buy one."

"That's perfect. There's a flagship store next to the furniture city. You can go pick a car without accompanying me."

"Forget about the flagship store. It's not suitable for the working class to go to that kind of place. If there's a cheap car for sale, just drop me off on the roadside."

As a means of transportation, a car just needs to be drivable. It can't even be driven very often in a big city, so there's no need to demand unnecessary performance.

"I will," Rhythm Nolan agreed, although he didn't quite understand Lun Hui's decision.

Then the two fell silent for a few minutes.

On a Saturday morning, the lanes were particularly clear. Over time, the city walls, which were once used as defense tools, have now become highways, creating a kind of elevated bridge forty meters above the ground. Apart from the financial and commercial areas in the western part of Ukampa City, there are not many tall buildings, so from the elevated highway on the city wall, the whole city can be seen.

"The conversation we just had, doesn't it sound like an ordinary husband and wife?" Lun Hui suddenly asked out of boredom.

"That's the tone of a long-married couple without any passion," Rhythm Nolan was driving fast and didn't want to chat.

"Twenty years... who has twenty years in life, how long do you think our relationship can last?" Lun Hui smiled faintly.

"That depends on you," Rhythm Nolan turned his head and smiled lightly, fitting in with the early spring sunlight shining on the side of the sports car, appearing somewhat radiant. "If you behave well, I might as well keep being your legal little wife."

This kind of promise, which seems like an empty promise with no basis for evaluation, made Lun Hui laugh inwardly. But he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking. Maybe it's interesting this way.

"Then I'll try my best," Lun Hui put on a positive expression."Are you really going to work hard?" Rhythm Nolan suddenly slowed down the car and turned his head to ask again.

"I guess so. I don't want to be a divorced man at such a young age," Lun Hui answered vaguely. "We haven't seen each other in five years, so we don't really know each other. In these five years, you have reached such a height in Dao Qi cultivation. What color have you achieved?"

"Golden."

"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Lun Hui jumped slightly in his seat in surprise. "No wonder you passed the assessment of the Hall of Honor."

There were only five warriors at the honor level in the entire Thorn Empire, which showed the magnitude of the honor.

"That was three years ago," Rhythm Nolan said with an unchanged tone, but Lun Hui could still hear a hint of pride.

Lun Hui could only say that he was shocked by this woman's strength. She became one of the strongest warriors in the country at the age of eighteen. She couldn't be described as a genius anymore.

"Being with a woman like you puts an unprecedented amount of pressure on any man," Lun Hui sighed.

"Do you feel the pressure too?"

"Yes, and it's quite intense," Lun Hui honestly admitted. "So I need to adjust my mindset. After all, I am just a thief teacher who makes a living. It doesn't matter if I lower my pride."

Rhythm Nolan seemed unsatisfied with this answer, and her eyes flickered for a moment.

"What have you been doing in these five years?" After hesitating for a moment, Commander Nolan finally asked.

"Well, as you can see, the first two years I completed my studies under a mentor, and the next three years I stayed at home to pursue an advanced certificate," Lun Hui didn't have much to consider. "Although I wasn't completely stuck at home, I did go out on thief missions to prevent my position from expiring in the guild. You know, the death rate of thieves is very high, so you need to take a mission every three years, otherwise they will automatically assume you're dead."

"But your teacher is Longyou."

"Longyou is just an ordinary teacher."

"And you went out for two years for training with her..."

"Oh! Stop the car, stop!"

The black lotus sports car exited the highway, and with his sharp eyes, Lun Hui quickly found a seemingly ordinary car dealership.

Rhythm Nolan had no choice but to swallow her question because of the interruption. She parked the car on the side of the road.

"This store has a dignified and bold appearance. It looks wild and uninhibited. I can tell it's a designated agent for a major sales company. I believe the products inside must be suitable for a reserved and elegant man like me. I've decided to buy a car here," Lun Hui said confidently, making gestures to emphasize his decision.

"Alright then," Rhythm Nolan couldn't help but laugh at his words. "Aren't you going to the furniture store?"

"I'll find you after I buy the car. It's not far from here anyway," Lun Hui agreed.

"How are you going to find me without my phone number?" Rhythm Nolan retorted.

"Then I'll have to go back first," Lun Hui felt embarrassed as his disguise was exposed and handed over his old cell phone.

"Is this a brick phone?" After hastily inputting her own phone number, the half-elf mocked, "You can't be so poor, right? Why don't you use a better phone?"

"This brand has good quality, nice typing feel, and can also be used to crack walnuts in urgent situations. It's good enough for me," Lun Hui said.

After that, Lun Hui got out of the car, waved goodbye to the beautiful lady and the luxury car.

As he left the terrifying aura of Commander Nolan, the thief instantly felt relieved and confidently hummed a song as he swaggered into the car dealership.

Although it wasn't a flagship store, it was a larger comprehensive experience store. Judging from the categorization of car sales, there were models ranging from a few hundred gold coins to several million gold coins. However, Lun Hui wasn't particularly interested in cars. In his home, Comrade Yan Xianghua's mount was a certain tiger's off-road jeep.Perhaps Lun Hui's outfit made him look like he was wearing cheap items from a roadside stall, and his youthful appearance added to that impression. The salespeople on the side thought he was just a fresh graduate working part-time, so they didn't show much enthusiasm.

Whistling loudly while walking around the store, Lun Hui finally leisurely made his way to the service counter.

"Miss, find me the cheapest car with four wheels," Lun Hui politely said to the pretty saleswoman.

The female sales representative couldn't help but feel a bit amused and thought to herself, "Does this guy really want a car with five wheels these days?"

"Sir, the cheapest car we have here is this model from Penguin Brand. It only costs 350 coins and is lightweight and portable, suitable for young workers who prioritize cost-effectiveness," the sales representative said.

"Oh... I know this brand. It's the car that automatically loses its chassis while driving, right?" Lun Hui had heard about the famous Penguin Brand cars.

"Sir, please have confidence in the cars that we sell. Each of our products goes through careful safety testing and will never have such ridiculous safety issues like losing its chassis," the sales representative said awkwardly.

"I was just kidding. But the price is good. It's less than two months' worth of my salary," Lun Hui said as he carefully inspected the four-seater Penguin Brand car in front of him.

The saleswoman inwardly despised Lun Hui a little. If he could make over 350 coins in two months, why would he need to buy a car of this level? But she naturally wouldn't expose his lie in front of him. Men have their pride, and customers' dignity must be respected.

Lun Hui was speaking the truth. After all, he was a lecturer at Jingyi University. The benefits provided by Mowu University were unexpectedly good, with a monthly salary of 400 coins for two months. Deducting taxes and insurance, 350 coins were completely affordable. Besides, Lun Hui was not as broke as he imagined, and he hadn't been freeloading all this time.

"Alright, I'll take this one then," Lun Hui slapped the car hood decisively and made up his mind.

"Okay, please come this way," the sales representative said, slightly surprised that the young man was so decisive, and led him to the payment counter.

After signing a few papers, Lun Hui quickly obtained the vehicle. However, since getting a driver's license required additional fees and time, he couldn't pick up the car immediately today.

Lun Hui wasn't bothered by it. After paying extra fees to have the car delivered to his home in a few days, he planned to leave and walk to the furniture store.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly called out at this moment.

"Lun... Hui?"

Obviously, the female voice wasn't entirely sure if she called the right person, Lun Hui.

However, Lun Hui's memory wasn't that bad, and he quickly recognized whose voice it was. He was about to speed up and leave when his shoulder was grabbed.

"Lun Hui, it's really you, you scoundrel!"

Turning around, it was indeed the girl, or rather, the woman, since ten years had passed.

"Oh, isn't this He Xia? Long time no see!" Unable to evade, our male lead turned around with a forced smile.

The woman in front of him had fair skin and could still be considered pretty. She was Lun Hui's middle school classmate. But Lun Hui wasn't someone who stood out, so he was just an average student in terms of grades and everything else. After entering middle school, he had toned down his mischievousness from elementary school, so he could only be considered a peripheral figure in the class.

"It's been nine years. How have you been?" He Xia, on the other hand, was different. She had been known as the energetic beauty in the class back then and had sat with Lun Hui. She was a pretty good person, quite friendly.

Lun Hui noticed there was a well-dressed man next to her, seeming quite wealthy with a luxury watch on his wrist and glossy hair.

"I'm doing okay. I attended high school for over a year and then dropped out. Now I have a mediocre job," Lun Hui casually replied.

"Hezhe, this is my middle school desk mate, Lun Hui," He Xia pulled the man next to her and the latter awkwardly greeted Lun Hui. It seemed like he didn't want to get to know him. "Lun Hui, this is my boyfriend Hezhe. We came here today to buy a car together. Are you here for the same reason?"Lun Hui didn't want to engage in much conversation, but it was clear that He Xia was quite enthusiastic.

"Yeah, I don't have much money, but I moved quite far away, so I came here today to buy a cheap car as a substitute for transportation."

Life is not like novels, where there are so many guys who look down on others for trivial matters. Naturally, even though Hu Zhe had no intention of talking to Lun Hui, he did not show a contemptuous attitude.

And of course, He Xia could also see that Lun Hui didn't seem to be wealthy, so he had no intention of embarrassing his old classmate.

"By the way, Lun Hui, there will be a middle school class reunion next month. Will you be going? It's in the south area of the second ring road." He Xia suddenly invited.

"I work quite hard and I'm very busy, so I probably won't be able to go." Lun Hui immediately refused without thinking.

"It's alright, we can listen to your work schedule and then give you a specific time?" He Xia was clearly more enthusiastic. "You haven't even checked yet, how do you know you definitely won't have time?"

"Maybe I'll be on a business trip at that time?" Lun Hui said something he didn't even believe himself, but he simply didn't want to go. He had always been an outsider back then, not very close to anyone, so going wouldn't be meaningful. Plus, it had been nine years without contact, so there really wasn't much to talk about.

Class reunions were just about showing off each other's highlights over the years, seeing if there were any beautiful female classmates from back then, and listening to some gossip. They didn't have much practical significance.

"Since He Xia has invited you like this, Mr. Lun should agree. It's been so many years since we last met, maybe your work isn't as busy as you imagine." Hu Zhe clearly wasn't very good at persuading people and there was some irony in his words, implying that Lun Hui's low salary didn't mean he wasn't busy enough.

But his attitude didn't contain any ridicule at all.

"Fine, I'll be direct. I don't want to go." Lun Hui was Lun Hui after all, and this statement was completely in line with his style.

"You... still care about Ye Ge?" He Xia got excited as soon as he heard that.

"Hold on, who is Ye Ge?" Lun Hui was confused.

"Still pretending? It's obviously the goddess Xi Ye Ge that you had a crush on back in the day. She's also coming this time, and apparently she's still single. You might have a chance, you know?" He Xia said excitedly, perhaps entering gossip mode.

But Lun Hui didn't understand, and was a bit dazed. His memories of his marginalized life in middle school were quite vague, mostly staying after school to practice martial arts with Lun Li or finding time to visit Nolan Family in the evening.

But He Xia was indeed smart. While Lun Hui was distracted, she quickly dodged Lun Hui's phone that he didn't retrieve after filling out the information earlier, and then recorded the number.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll give you a call in a few days, and you mustn't refuse. It's been so long since we've seen each other, it'll be great to catch up." He Xia smiled and handed the phone back to Lun Hui.
