When the plane took off, Lily and Vivian seemed to be the opposite of each other.
When they were at home, Lily was always the lively one. The energetic werewolf maiden always had an exuberant curiosity. She would study anything she saw for half a day. Even if she found a stone on the street, as long as there was no one around, she would put it in her mouth to test it. Vivian, on the other hand, was much more mature and steady. Despite her bad luck, the vampire maiden always maintained her pride and reserve as a member of the Blood Clan. She looked much more mature than Lily.
But now, the two of them were completely opposite. Lily was lying on the spacious first-class seat, waiting for her meal. She was looking for something she was interested in on the LCD TV next to her. Vivian, on the other hand, was excited. The vampire maiden leaned on the plane's porthole, mouth agape as she looked at the clouds passing by. After a long while, she exclaimed, "Oh, we're really flying! And we can really fly so high! "
It was Hao Ren's first time taking a plane. He could understand Vivian's reaction, but he could not help but say, "Don't you usually fly? Why are you so surprised?"
"It's different when I'm flying!" Vivian said confidently. "And I don't usually fly so high. If I fly too high, I'll be struck by lightning. Besides, the low temperature and the clouds are dangerous. Years ago, I wanted to study the stars in the sky, but I flew too high. In the end, I was frozen into an ice cube and fell down. I was almost discovered by the demon hunters because of that. Since then, I rarely fly above a thousand meters."
Hao Ren smacked his lips. He was puzzled. "So, you always flew at low altitude when you were traveling around the world? Weren't you afraid of being shot down by arrows? "
"When I was traveling around the world? Sometimes I fly, sometimes I walk. Anyway, my physical strength is stronger than humans, and time is not a problem. It's not difficult to walk around Eurasia, "Vivian said proudly." And it's not like I don't fly at high altitudes. When I encounter demon hunters, I have to hide in the clouds. Demon hunters rarely have the ability to deal with high-altitude targets. Speaking of arrows, I'm not afraid of them. Even the Welsh archers can't hit me. How far do you think they can fly when they shoot into the sky? But during World War II, I was accidentally shot down by an anti-aircraft gun … "
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. Vivian patted her chest with lingering fear. "Tsk, tsk. You humans are too good at researching these dangerous things. A while ago, we were throwing stones at each other and fighting with swords and spears. We had to pray to the heavens when we got a headache and fever. But now, you can shoot more than ten tons of steel plates into the sky in the blink of an eye. I thought the anti-aircraft gun was a new model of a catapult. One shot hit me in the face. If I hadn't dispersed into bats in time, I might have become the Blood Clan with the most flashy way of death in the world."
It was Vivian's first time on a plane. She was a little excited. So, the embarrassing secrets that should not have been said casually popped out one after another. At first, Hao Ren could still communicate with the maiden with a smile on his face. But later on, he could only listen with his eyes wide open. Some things were completely beyond his understanding. He did not even know how to react!
When Vivian told him about an old acquaintance who was killed by a meteorite while he was on a joyride in North America, Hao Ren decided to change the topic. He turned to Lily and said, "You look like you're at ease. Do you fly often?"
The werewolf maiden looked up lazily and smiled. "I took the early Stinson plane."
Hao Ren was stunned. "What's that?"
Vivian sat up straight, trembling. "It was during the Republic of China … How rich were you?!"
"I couldn't afford a Republic of China ticket." Lily waved her hand. "But I could crawl into the cockpit and the luggage rack. I hung outside the plane for the last part. The security back then wasn't as advanced as it is now. No one checked these places. And with my skills, it was easy to avoid the eyes of ordinary people. It was just that it was a little difficult to land at the station. I had to jump in advance. Although I didn't die from the fall, it was pretty scary. "
Hao Ren immediately shouted, "Of course! A normal person would have died halfway if they were to hitch a ride like you!"
Lily stuck her tongue out. "Anyway, that's how I learned. That's why I say, Battie is too rigid. Sometimes, she's not as smart as I am. She just doesn't know how to make good use of her physical fitness. "
Vivian turned her face away. "I don't think it's something to be proud of to hang myself outside the plane to escape."
Despite saying that, she could not help but discuss with Lily. Their main topic was how to safely hang themselves on various human transportation vehicles. Lily taught Vivian how to sneak into the luggage compartment, and Vivian taught Lily how to avoid anti-aircraft guns. Anyway, it was a topic that Hao Ren found completely unreliable. But no matter how unreliable the topic was, the two arch-enemies finally reached a temporary truce in this strange field. Both of them were quite interested in this kind of trickery.
Looking at the cheerful Lily, Hao Ren thought that the werewolf maiden was more powerful than she looked. It was not scary to hang herself outside the plane and fly across half of China. What was scary was that she dared to do it during the Republic of China era. How many terrifying experiences did this seemingly stupid maiden have? Hao Ren thought about the modern history of China and did not dare to think about it anymore.
The rest of the journey was silent. The strange trio flew in the sky for eleven hours, and finally arrived at their destination, London's Heathrow Airport, in a cool and breezy morning.
Hao Ren dragged Lily, who was almost asleep, and Vivian, who was full of energy, out of the terminal. He took a deep breath of the cold foreign air and slowly exhaled. The air was no different from home …
Vivian looked up at the sky. It was still early in the morning and the sky was not bright yet. The weak rays of the morning sun were slowly creeping over the horizon. The sky was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, which made the already dim sky look even darker. The streets of a foreign country, the chilly morning breeze, and the dim morning sun through the thin mist. These three elements might have made ordinary people feel depressed, but it was exactly what the vampire maiden, Vivian, liked. She nodded in satisfaction. "This kind of sunlight is good for the skin. I've been sunburned for the past two days. Have you ever seen a member of the Blood Clan sunbathe all day long?"
Hao Ren turned around and rolled his eyes at her. "Nonsense. Have you ever seen a member of the Blood Clan go out to look for work all day long?"
Vivian scratched her face awkwardly and tried to change the topic. "Err … Speaking of which, the scenery here looks a little unfamiliar. It's not the same as the England I remember."
Lily opened her sleepy eyes and did not forget to tease Hao Ren. "You couldn't even afford a plane ticket back then. How would you know the way to the airport?"
Hao Ren suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of danger. Vivian's next words confirmed his feeling. "I didn't mean that. I mean … Err, I remember this place should be a wasteland or a rocky beach … If my sense of direction as a member of the Blood Clan is correct."
Hao Ren almost choked on his breath. He finally understood why he felt that something was wrong. "When was the last time you were in England?!"
Vivian thought for a long time and slowly lowered her head. "I remember there was a man called Lionheart or something at war …"
Hao Ren's mouth was almost round and he almost fell to the ground. That was f * cking 1190!
It was obvious that Hao Ren's knowledge of world history was not bad.
"How can you be so stupid?" Hao Ren rubbed his chin and looked at Vivian in disbelief. He did not expect a person to be so stupid. Even if there was, it should be an idiot like Lily.
"I've lived for so many years. Can't you let me make a mistake in some details?" Vivian tried to make her tone sound imposing but she still lowered her head in the end. "You know I'm a little muddle-headed."
"What do we do now?" Hao Ren was at a loss. If someone who had seen the world often encountered such a situation, he might be able to handle it. However, Hao Ren was an ordinary citizen who had never traveled far. The only thing he could rely on was his translator and guide. His mission was to go to a foreign country where the name could not be found on the map. He had to look for a "client" whose name and appearance were unknown. This was his first mission since he took up the position.
Vivian gritted her teeth. "It's okay. At least I can speak the language. That's better than you, right?"
Hao Ren thought about it and agreed. Although there was still something wrong, he could only nod.
