THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Wind Wing Balloons

***

After a brief chat with Fu Lie Wei, Fang An invited Fu Lie Wei to meet up with his friends, and Fang An immediately went to the planned place.

All of Fang An's friends were already waiting for Fang An at his usual place, and after a while, they saw Fang An who was walking with a beautiful girl wearing a bright blue dress.

"Who did Fang An bring here? Is he his friend or someone he just met?" asked Yan Hang.

An ominous look immediately emanated from Bing Xuyue's eyes, he clearly felt displeased at seeing the way they walked so close, the way Fang An had only ever done it while walking with him.

"Who is he?" bing Xuyue asked after Fang An arrived before him.

Fang An sensed Bing Xuyue's different gaze, he scratched his non-itchy head but before he replied, Fu Lie Wei answered first.

"My name is Lie Wei, I'm an old friend who hasn't met in almost five years, and I'm from the same place as him!" replied Fu Lie Wei.

"Lie Wei's! Why didn't you ever tell me?" ask Bing Xuyue.

"Yes sorry!" fang An said.

"Miss Lie Wei, my name is Yan Hang, I am his best friend too!" said Yan Hang who immediately came forward to introduce himself.

"No!"

"Oh, what are you doing Cia Ling?" yan Hang asked who was holding back the pain because suddenly Cia Ling pinned Yan Hang on the head.

"The eyes of a wild man like you do deserve it!" replied Cia Ling while Yan Hang was still stroking his head which felt bumpy.

"So they're all your friends? Was it your brother-in-law who wasn't with you at the time?" ask Lie Wei.

"Sister? Ogh, you mean Brother Luo Ying? He's not coming, " Fang An replied.

"Didn't you want to introduce me to your old friend too?" ask Bing Xuyue.

Fang An noticed Bing Xuyue who was starting to act strangely, the gentle and reserved beautiful girl was now starting to be a little aggressive by throwing a lot of questions as well as there was a cold gaze directed at Lie Wei.

"Lie Wei, this is Bing Xuyue, she is the great-grandson of the Northern ruler Bing Chen!" fang An said.

"Is that all?" ask Bing Xuyue.

Lie Wei saw Bing Xuyue's tone of speech instantly understood everything, he smiled gently and then he spoke to Bing Xuyue.

"Miss Bing! I did not expect to meet the descendants of the Northern Region Sovereigns! But lady take it easy, Huang An and I have nothing to do but friendship!" lie Wei said that made Fang An panic after Lie Wei referred to himself as Huang An.

"Huang An? Who are you..?"

"Eee how about we talk about our next trip? Lie Wei, you said you had an acquaintance who owned the Wind Wing Balloon?" fang An asked who had deliberately cut off Bing Xuyue's question to Lie Wei.

"Owh yeah, come with me!" lie Wei said and then he walked first then Fang An invited everyone to follow him.

"Huang An? Why did he call him Huang An?" said Bing Xuyue who still did not accept because Lie Wei called Fang An by another name.

"Here you go, we'll talk about that later!" said Zang Mei who tried to calm Bing Xuyue down.

"I have to get an explanation for this!" bing Xuyue said as she stared coldly at Fang An who was walking behind Lie Wei.

The fur on Fang An's neck instantly stood up, he felt a chill and there was a threatening look from behind, and as soon as he looked back, he gulped when he saw Bing Xuyue's cold gaze.

"If not for wanting to hire a Wind Wing Balloon, I would not want to introduce Lie Wei to Yue Yue either!" fang An's inner self while sighing deeply, he knew after this there would definitely be many problems that he would soon experience on the way to Chang Lan City.

The Wind Wing Balloon is an air vehicle that can transport many people in a single transport, the balloon was inspired by a flying lantern that is commonly held at every Festival.

It wasn't easy to own the vehicle personally, even large factions didn't have such a thing, whereas the ones who could make such flying vehicles were only people who were experts in the talent of the arts.

If you want to ride the balloon, then the person can only rent it, and later the owner will tell the driver to deliver them, and then the owner will send them, but it is on demand whether the tenant will hire round-trip transportation services or not.

It was explained by Lie Wei to Fang An on his way to the house of the owner of the Wind Wing Balloon vehicle, or commonly known as the Flying Balloon, on his way, it's just that this balloon uses wind elements created from a tool as well as the addition of a Spirit Beast that has Wind Element.

The vehicle's owner's residence turned out to be on the outskirts of the city, a short distance away from the city center, and after they all got there, they all got there, there are already about dozens of large Balloon vehicles with shapes such as boats and hot air balloons floating on it.

"It's amazing, I don't know if there's anything like this!" fang An said.

"I also found out about a year ago, I happened to be helping a woman who turned out to be the wife of the owner of this vehicle, and until now we are getting closer!" lie Wei.

Now they were all in front of the house of the owner of the Balloon vehicle, and after that Fu Lie Wei called the name of the owner of the house.

"Mr Li, Mrs Li! Are you guys home?"

After a while, a little girl opened the door, and the girl immediately recognized Lie Wei. "Aunt Lie!" said the little girl.

"Li Yiqin, where are your father and mother?" ask Lie Wei.

"It's inside!" the little girl replied then she looked towards Fang An and all her friends.

"They are aunt's friends!" lie Wei explained it.

"Aunt Lie father, he came with many of his friends," the little girl replied.

After a while, the couple came and immediately greeted Lie Wei warmly and politely. "Miss Lie, I think who's coming! Let's go in, please" the middle-aged man said to Lie Wei.

"We're outside Mr. Li, I came here because my friends wanted to hire Mr. Li's Balloon!" lie Wei.

"Owh, fine! Wait a minute," said the man and then he spoke to his wife, "Honey, make them drinks and dishes" said the man.

The middle-aged woman nodded with a gentle smile, then she immediately went inside and her husband immediately came out to continue his chat.

"So these are friends, miss? Greetings to all of you, my name is Li Jing Hang, or just call Li Jing," the man said.

"Mr Li, it's good to know you!" fang An said as he cupped his hands together.

"Master Li, they want to rent the master's Wind Wing Balloon, they will rent to go to Chang Lan City, maybe they will rent it back here!" lie Wei.

"All right, I understand!" li Jing said.

"Master Li, if you can tell how much the rent is?" ask Fang An.

"Emm! If I go that far, I set a price per vehicle for 178 gold coins to go, but if I go back and forth I will cut the price, you can pay for 300 gold coins, for the rental period, it doesn't matter which means you have the freedom to rent for any length of time!" li Jing said.

"178 once gone, and to go home 300, means the price is reduced by 56, the price is quite decent as well, too, but it was only natural because the distance from here to Chang Lan city was very far and definitely very long, yet at least they did not need to expend energy on this journey!" inner Fang An.

"How is the young master, do you still intend to rent our vehicle? You don't need to doubt our vehicles, as we have an expert driver in this field, not to mention the Spirit Beast that we use on average is Spirit Beast Earth 3!" li Jing said.

"Good! But if you may ask, did master Li also receive a payment in the form of Ziyuan?" ask Fang An.

"Owh, of course! If you guys really want to pay with Ziyuan, I'm really happy!" li Jing replied.

"Then according to the price that Master Li gave that was 300 pieces of gold, if paying it with Ziyuan then we only need to pay it as much as 60 Ziyuan stone seeds right?" ask Fang An.

"It's absolutely right!" li Jing replied.

As already known, the value of Ziyuan itself if in exchange for a gold coin is 5 gold pieces per Ziyuan crystal stone, and if calculated in multiples, if calculated, that means it would take 60 Ziyuan crystal stones to replace the sum of 300 gold coins in price.

"The chairman doesn't have to pay with the Chairman's crystal stone, here we have brought it!" tang Chin said.

"This?" Fang An guessed the ring that Tang Chin gave him.

"It was the treasure of the Sky Lightning that was gathered, starting from the mission as well as from the spoils of war at the Red Ribbon Headquarters, and this is still not half of the Sky Lightning treasure that I brought!" replied Tang Chin.

"How much is in it?" ask Fang An.

"Not so much, only about 2300 Ziyuan!" replied Tang Chin.

"That much?" Fang An was obviously surprised to find out, because the one who had been taking care of the group funds was Jian Kang, and Fang An had never asked about it at all.

Of course Fang An did not expect if it turned out that the group he formed had wealth that was equal to the wealth of a large faction, a large faction, Fang An certainly did not know if in fact the richest group was Sao Yi Feng's Sacred Fire group.

Fang An immediately took out 60 Ziyuan Crystal Stones, then he handed them over as payment directly, whereas Li Jing who had not expected that Fang An would directly pay for them could only be astonished, instead, though he wanted to say if Fang An could pay half of it and could later be repaid after they returned to Li Jing's house.

"When will you use it?" ask Li Jing.

"If it can be now, but if it can't now maybe tomorrow," Fang An replied.

"How about tomorrow alone, since now we have to prepare all the vehicle readiness equipment and will choose the most powerful Spirit Beast and the most expert driver we have, how?" ask Li Jing.

"No problem, then tonight we will stay at the city inn and tomorrow morning we will come back here!" fang An said.

"Miss Lie, are you also going back to Chang Lan City?" ask Li Jing.

"Oh sir, I actually still want to hunt here!" replied Fu Lie Wei.

"You'd better come with us tomorrow to Chang Lan City" Fang An said.

"eeee. But..!"

Lie Wei felt doubtful but Fang An sternly asked her to keep coming home with him, because that is the only way if you want to go home safely without the need to walk or fly to the city of Chang Lan.

"Come on Yue Yue, we'll find an inn in the City!" fang An said.

"Good Huang An!" bing Xuyue replied which made Fang An surprised, he thought Bing Xuyue had already forgotten about it, but it turned out that Bing Xuyue still remembered it.

"You don't go, my wife has prepared dishes for you all, so wait a minute!" li Jing said.

"Eat! I will be fine waiting for him," said Yan Hang who made Fang An and the others startled then they all shook their heads together.

"Basically fat, when it comes to women and food, he will certainly make a sound first!" grouse Cia Ling.

"It's up to you to talk about what, the important thing is that I can have a good meal today!" yan Hang replied which made Li Jing and all of them laugh except for the irritated Cia Ling and Bing Xuyue who still wanted to discuss the matter of Lie Wei calling Fang An with Huang An's Call.
