Book 4 Chapter 5 – The Beef Noodles that Disappeared

　　With every cast of Lightning flash, Li Yiming could teleport about 500 meters. This was his only way to catch up to the plane, since he did not have any other ways to fly. It took him the combined power of his newly acquired level five and the Thunder Purity form to catch up to the plane right as it was about to land. Even so, Li Yiming appeared on his seat with a red face and a forehead covered with sweat.

　　As the cabin door opened, the pa.s.sengers, who had narrowly escaped death, rushed out, each feeling incredibly lucky for their good fortune. Li Yiming's cutting off the power in the cabin proved to be a great idea; amidst the panic, no one actually noticed that someone had gone missing and reappeared later on.

　　Instead of leaving the plane in a hurry like the other people, Li Yiming sat quietly and listened to the other pa.s.sengers. He felt immensely satisfied knowing that he deserved these words of grat.i.tude, and it brought a dumb-looking smile onto his face. He closed his eyes and wiped away his sweat, still panting heavily from his effort to catch up to the plane.

　　"Sir, the plane has landed. You can disembark now." The stewardess' soft voice was heard.

　　"Can I just have a moment?" Li Yiming raised his head with difficulty. He could feel that the front of his s.h.i.+rt was beginning to become damp with sweat.

　　"But…" The stewardess was the same one who had been fantasizing about an encounter later with Li Yiming, but seeing him in such a state made her frown. 'This guy, he looks charming and courageous, but he's actually a wimp? Look at him, being scared like this after a storm. Don't tell me that he p.i.s.sed in his pants?'

　　"What happened to him?" Another flight crew walked up and looked at the whole scene curiously. Li Yiming was the only pa.s.senger still left on the plane.

　　"I think he's frightened." The first stewardess did not hide her contempt when she answered.

　　'Frightened?' Li Yiming was baffled. He could see the derision on the stewardess' face. He sighed, a little annoyed, and started a shaking walk toward the exit of the cabin.

　　"Are you okay? Do I need to call for medical personnel?" The other stewardess, who had not been affected by her emotions, was worried about Li Yiming's well-being.

　　"It's okay, I'm a little scared, that's all." Li Yiming waved his arm and answered in a rather disappointed tone.

　　However, as soon as he left the airport, Li Yiming recovered from his bad mood. He was proud of what he had just accomplished. 'I have found my direction. To guard the way, to see it through, and to protect others with my power. That's the way I have found.' ¹

　　Li Yiming hopped into a cab and took a deep breath. 'Hangzhou, I'm back.'

　　He rode the taxi to the Second Wen District, the place Mr. Kong had told him about. After getting off the taxi, he checked into a hotel room, took a shower to wash off his fatigue and started wandering the streets.

　　"h.e.l.lo, sir. May I ask if there's someone called Qing He lives in this neighborhood?" Li Yiming arrived at the window of the security room and pushed a pack of cigarettes across the counter.

　　"What is it?" The old door-guard looked at the pack of cigarettes with an alarmed expression and did not reach out for it.

　　"Someone ordered a cake here, but I lost the delivery ticket on the way. I remember that the person lives here. Could you…" Li Yiming feigned at embarra.s.sment as he took out a cake he had bought in a shop right around the hotel.

　　"The only thing you have is a name?" The old man's suspicions lessened when he saw the cake. He picked up Li Yiming's cigarette and stood up with the little amount of authority he could garnish. It seemed like the only place someone like him could find some kind of self-worth was in front of a delivery boy.
