Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 436 Technological Civilization and the Cultivation Girl

Taishan Parking Lot.

It has been a long time since I last came here.

They were all dressed in ancient costumes, which attracted many people's attention on the road, but that was all.

In this era, it is not uncommon to see young men and women dressed in ancient costumes, and there are even female bodhisattvas who go out wearing only a strip of cloth.

They were drawn to the group because of its good looks.

Four men and one woman. The men were either handsome and elegant, or dashing and resolute, or otherworldly and... unruly. The woman, needless to say, although she wore a veil, one could tell from her figure and her exposed eyes that she was absolutely stunning. She was unparalleled, except for those ordinary girls in TV dramas. Even the goddess at her peak could not compare to her eyes.

"To see so many mortals, it really brings back memories..." Qi Hao couldn't help but say telepathically.

Ye Fan and the others nodded.

They thought Qi Hao was lamenting the years before he embarked on his cultivation journey, but in reality, he was lamenting his previous life.

As the heir to a huge conglomerate in his previous life, even though he had never been exposed to any extraordinary events, it was basically certain that there were no extraordinary factors in his previous life.

Seeing so many ordinary people again after more than ten years, he was filled with emotion.

Of course, the surrounding environment was almost exactly the same as in his previous life, which made him unable to help but reminisce about the past.

However, he did not feel melancholy or reminisce about the past; he simply recalled things from the past.

For him, the past is just the past. Although he was the heir to a conglomerate in his previous life, he often felt unhappy. When he was alone, he was pushed around by the conglomerate. The playboys in TV dramas, novels and stories simply don't exist.

After the addition of a younger brother and sister, the pressure from other members of the conglomerate lessened somewhat, but this was quickly followed by infighting and sibling rivalry over the inheritance.

Even being able to come into this world is thanks to my younger siblings; if it weren't for them... ha!

Therefore, Qi Hao was too lazy to recall the past. He was the most unruly part of Wang Teng's personality. If he had the chance to go back to his previous life, he would definitely resolve all the unstable factors before his younger siblings could take action.

As for now... he wasn't just marveling at the modern clothing he hadn't seen in so long.

Some people even wanted to come up and take photos with them, or add their contact information, but Ye Fan refused them all.

However, some people were still persistent and kept approaching Yan Ruyu with their phones, trying to add her contact information.

Wang Teng remained calm and glanced at those people indifferently.

Even without deliberately using supernatural powers, just a glance from him is something that others cannot withstand.

The people holding up their phones turned deathly pale, as if they had seen a monstrous flood or something beyond their comprehension. They stood there dumbfounded, breathing rapidly.

Wang Teng withdrew his gaze and did not continue to make things difficult for those people.

Otherwise, wetting their pants would be the least of their worries; they might never forget this day and be immersed in suffering for the rest of their lives, unable to live or die.

“I’m sorry, these people have never been in contact with the extraordinary before, and they lack a sense of awe for certain things,” Ye Fan said.

He had heard some rumors and knew about the relationship between Wang Teng and the demon princess.

He was secretly relieved, and thankful that Wang Teng had a good personality; otherwise, if it had been someone else, things probably wouldn't have ended well today, and there would likely have been bloodshed.

At the same time, Ye Fan led everyone towards the parking lot.

His Mercedes is still parked in the parking lot.

So many years have passed, I wonder how much parking fees have increased.

Of course, if his card is still usable, the parking fees are just a tiny fraction of his remaining balance.

However, he has been missing for so long that he has probably been presumed dead, and his funeral has likely already been held. Under such circumstances, his credit card has most likely been suspended.

Moreover, his car keys are gone too!
"So, how are we going to drive this Mercedes away?" Pang Bo couldn't help but ask.

Although the parking fee was unexpectedly high, it was not unacceptable to them. It was only a few hundred thousand yuan. Even if the two of them were to tighten screws, they could do it quickly and well with their current skills. They could find a piecework factory and earn enough for the parking fee in a few months.

The main problem is that we don't have the key.

"I'm a cultivator after all, these problems are no problem for me." Ye Fan said, his divine sense directly invading the central control system and igniting it in an instant.

"As for the parking fee..." Ye Fan really had no choice.

He just tried out his cards, and they were all indeed frozen.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, he has been missing for so long, it would be unreasonable for the huge amount of money in his account to just sit there untouched.

However, faced with the parking fee of over 100,000 yuan, Ye Fan eventually drove away secretly, leaving only an IOU at the original location, promising to pay the parking fee when he returned in the future.

For him, tens of thousands of dollars was not a big number to begin with, let alone now that he has come into contact with extraordinary power. He brought back some things from Beidou, which can be easily sold for extremely high prices. Money is really just a symbol to him.

Looking at the security guard who knew nothing about this, Wang Teng suddenly remembered the book called "The Great Emperor of Security Guards." If this security guard really became an emperor, he would probably just be laughing and watching Ye Fan's performance.

Unfortunately, this security guard was not a security tycoon; he was just an ordinary middle-aged man. While Ye Fan was secretly driving them away, the security guard was still facing away from the camera, secretly playing on his phone with his head down.

“This thing is too slow…” Pang Bo couldn’t help but say.

As cultivators, with their current speed, they can travel hundreds of miles or even further in the blink of an eye. Once they get used to flying by building a divine bridge, when they go back to experience a Mercedes-Benz luxury car, they will only feel that the Mercedes-Benz luxury car is slow and they can't even run a few steps.

"Bear with it. After all, we've just returned to modern society. If we were to actually take to the air, it would only scare some people," Ye Fan said.

In fact, he's quite fast.

He had almost floored the accelerator, and the speedometer showed a speed exceeding 200 km/h. For an ordinary person, it would be difficult to control the direction at this speed, but for Ye Fan, these were not problems.

His divine sense far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level, making him incomparable to ordinary people.

In fact, given his current condition, he doesn't even need to worry about the car's fuel level when driving it.

The divine power within him surged into the car in a unique way, directly replacing the fuel and allowing him to continue driving at an extremely high speed without needing to consider anything else. The distance from Mount Tai to Ye Fan's hometown was several hundred miles, but at this speed, it would only take a little over two hours.

As the vehicle entered the city, Ye Fan did not slow down, continuing to speed at top speed. His powerful divine sense enabled him to deal with any unexpected situation, ensuring that no safety accidents would occur even at high speeds.

"It's somewhat similar to a chariot, but also different," Yan Ruyu said.

In terms of both materials and speed, this black, box-like thing is no match for a real war machine.

"This is a different kind of development. Unlike cultivation that focuses on individual power, technological civilization focuses more on enhancing the power of the entire civilization," Ye Fan said.

The car soon stopped in front of a residential area.

Ye Fan stopped here.

He didn't change his clothes and went straight to the stairwell he remembered.

Wang Teng and the others remained where they were, not wanting to disturb their family reunion.

Pang Bo also left. The main reason he walked this road with Ye Fan was to calm his own emotions.

Now he has also left, hidden in the void, walking on air.

Although he had not cultivated the legacy of the Void Emperor, fooling ordinary people was still very easy for him.

Wang Teng did not stop Pang Bo from leaving.

He knew what Pang Bo would encounter, but those were things Pang Bo should solve himself, instead of them worrying about them one by one and then trying to solve them one by one.

"Shall we take a stroll?" Wang Teng suggested.

The time it takes for relatives to reunite is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. There is nothing for them to do here. Rather than stay here, they might as well wander around, experience the local customs and culture of this planet, and see if it is exactly the same as their previous life.

Qi Hao nodded, opened the car door, and turned to leave.

The moment he stepped off the bus, his ancient costume transformed into ordinary modern attire. With his hands in his pockets and whistling, he set off to explore the world.

Of course, just as he was leaving, Wang Teng reminded him that this was not Beidou. Under normal circumstances, there were no traces of the extraordinary in society. It would cause a great disturbance if the extraordinary person were to openly display their special abilities among the crowd.

Qi Hao nodded calmly and left without looking back.

“This world… is quite interesting. The spiritual energy is too scarce, so they’ve developed alternative things,” Yan Ruyu said slowly.

On the way here, she also released her divine sense to observe everything on this star. Just as Ye Fan said, they did not encounter any other cultivators along the way. Instead, all sorts of fancy little things caught her attention.

"Shall we go take a look?" Wang Teng suggested.

When he got off the car, he thought for a moment and transformed his battle robe into a black suit.

The formal wear he hated most in his previous life was actually the one that left the deepest impression on him, and he subconsciously conjured up this tailored suit.

Except for the absence of the badge on her chest, everything else was exactly the same as in her previous life.

"Hmm? Should we change into the common clothing on this star?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Teng chuckled. He did this subconsciously. After all, he had returned to a relatively familiar place, and he could be considered to be adapting to local customs.
"Then I'll change too." Yan Ruyu said, and a faint light flashed by. When the light dissipated, Yan Ruyu's originally elegant long dress had been replaced by fitted jeans, and her upper body was also a plain short-sleeved shirt.

Even so, it could not conceal her flawless appearance and temperament.

Wang Teng's gaze lingered for a moment. He had never imagined seeing Yan Ruyu wearing slim-fit jeans and a shirt, so when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Yan Ruyu calmly met Wang Teng's gaze. After thinking for a moment, a faint light rose from her body. It was not to conceal her figure, but merely to conceal her appearance and temperament, so that in the eyes of others she was just an ordinary woman.

After doing all this, Yan Ruyu stepped forward, took Wang Teng's hand, and prepared to leave together.

Sensing Wang Teng's gaze, Yan Ruyu explained, "On the way here, I saw many men and women like this."

Wang Teng chuckled lightly, saying nothing, but tightened his grip on her arm, making Yan Ruyu hold him even tighter.

Normally, couples would have taken physical contact to the next level by now, but when they were together, they never deliberately created an ambiguous atmosphere. Their relationship was more like... a spiritual exchange and reliance.

Many things are just missing a trigger, but Yan Ruyu took that step.

Wang Teng looked up and smiled, following the direction of the gaze.

Perhaps at this moment, only those artificial satellites and the official organizations monitoring them are the sole witnesses.

The two walked out of the residential area and went to a pawn shop. Wang Teng casually took out a ten-pound gold brick, exchanged it for some cash, and took Yan Ruyu to experience the joy of technological civilization.

However, to be honest, many things were completely useless to the young girl who was cultivating. For example, on the roller coaster, while other girls screamed and yelled, Yan Ruyu held onto Wang Teng's arm without any fear, only a little curiosity.

Take haunted houses, for example. The NPCs with their bizarre makeup are not even as appealing as the monsters in the demon world.

For example, on the giant swing ride, Yan Ruyu even leaned on Wang Teng's shoulder and fell asleep for a while...

The actual act of throwing himself into her arms didn't happen, but Wang Teng didn't think much of it.

"It seems like everyone here is in pairs," Yan Ruyu remarked, noticing something amiss.

“Yes, because we didn’t come alone,” Wang Teng said with a smile.

The two of them sat on a carousel, each holding an ice cream cone, communicating telepathically.

The two of them got along very well, but to others, their identities and temperaments seemed somewhat mismatched.

"So the rumors are true, the aloof CEO really does fall in love with an ordinary girl..." A Tiger-style woman held her phone and said with envy. On her phone screen was the logo of a certain sweet potato brand.

As soon as the carousel ended, a few people dressed in casual clothes gathered around. They looked unremarkable, but the all-male group still attracted some attention.

They approached Wang Teng, wanting to speak, but unsure how to address him. Finally, the leader forced himself to speak, "Grandpa...Grandpa God..."
