By the time Li Qing had taken care of everything, Sister Hu had also sent some good news.

She had successfully persuaded Lu Furong, and the two had booked tickets to Zhu Yai Island for six in the evening.

Li Qing checked the flights to Zhu Yai Island on his mobile phone and booked a flight that was two hours later than Sister Hu’s.

That afternoon, Li Qing rushed to the provincial capital.

He strolled around leisurely and bought himself two sets of lighter clothes.

While it was deep autumn here, Zhu Yai Island was still sweltering hot.

It was only after six in the evening that Li Qing took the intercity train to the airport.

After a simple dinner at the airport, he boarded the plane to Zhu Yai Island at a leisurely pace.

It was Li Qing’s first time on an airplane, and everything seemed novel to him.

Especially everything outside the window.

The clouds that seemed within reach, the ravines crisscrossing below, the vast and magnificent earth—he couldn’t get enough no matter how much he looked.

The magic and grandeur of nature quietly calmed his mind.

This incredible sky and earth made Li Qing discard any mundane thoughts from his mind.

A faint stream of energy rose from the location of his Dantian and then slowly dispersed.

This time, not only did he feel the energy, but it also started to flow along the meridians.

Li Qing held his breath and focused, like a bystander, quietly watching the energy swiftly connect the thirty-six major acupoints, slowly completing a minor circulation.

He hadn’t expected that his deliberate attempts to feel the energy and guide it with his consciousness, trying to make it flow, would come to naught.

On the contrary, when his heart was completely tranquil, the energy started to flow on its own.

And it had smoothly completed a minor circulation.

The trip had just begun, and Li Qing already felt it was worth it.

Just as Li Qing was keenly feeling the changes in his body, his arm was suddenly hit hard by someone.

With that bump, he was instantly pulled out of that mysterious sensation.

"Hey, is this your first time on an airplane?" a woman’s voice rang in his ear.

The sensation of Qi having been interrupted, Li Qing immediately glared at the scantily clad woman next to him.

When he had boarded, he had noticed the spicy girl next to him.

Her upper body was covered with only a camisole, while her lower half was in denim shorts that exposed most of her buttocks.

With heavy makeup and fashionable attire.

But it seemed she had some unique tastes, with huge earrings, and even her nose and chin were pierced.

If he had seen such a beautiful woman before, Li Qing would definitely have stared at her fervently.

But now, after so many experiences with women, he was constantly raising his standards for beauty.

This woman, who would have been considered quite the little ruffian in the past, could at best entice him to glance a few more times at the exposed parts of her buttocks.

"Do you have a problem?" Li Qing asked with displeasure.

"You haven’t answered my question yet," the girl asked again, "Is this your first time on a plane?"

"So what if it is?" Li Qing replied.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to advise you to sit down quietly and keep a little distance from me," the girl said arrogantly. "You, looking around like a restless monkey, are going to lower my standards."

"I really should have checked the almanac before I left today. Now it seems anyone can sit on a plane!"

Li Qing was immediately dumbfounded.

Was he being looked down on for no apparent reason?

He didn’t remember ever looking around like a monkey.

"You really should have checked the almanac before you left today!" Li Qing said coldly, "Since your taste is so high, why not just not fly economy class? I remember that you can upgrade your seat on a plane. You could’ve upgraded to first class and avoided sitting with a pauper like me."

"Why should I upgrade? And why should I spend that money because of you?" the girl said angrily. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"The one who should feel ashamed is someone like you who’s never seen the world in their lifetime. Puffing up your face to look fat and yet bringing down the level of others."

Being insulted out of the blue made Li Qing extremely uneasy.

His tone grew colder, as he spoke sternly, "If you choose not to upgrade, then you’d better just shut up and not expose your ignorance and rudeness. If a pauper like me can afford a plane ticket, I should be sitting here."

"If you think you’re so superior, go buy what we can’t afford, a first-class seat where you’ll definitely be surrounded by the social elite that you find comfortable, not paupers like me."

"You’re such an asshole!" the girl cursed through clenched teeth.

She found herself at a loss for words against Li Qing.

Li Qing snorted coldly, "I might as well be your dad!"

"Too poor to even own a decent pair of pants, almost showing ’Shisan’ for the world to see, and you have the nerve to call others paupers? Just shut your mouth!"

The girl hurriedly used her bag to cover the lower part of her abdomen, glaring furiously as she yelled, "Asshole, are you even a man?"

"I’m the same breed as your dad, what do you think? If your eyes are really that bad, you’d better donate them early!" Li Qing said coldly.

Li Qing wouldn’t indulge someone who constantly flaunted their sense of superiority with their little bit of money, looking down on others, even if she was just a young girl in her early twenties.

He would give back as good as he got, with no mercy!

Their quarrel caught the attention of the surrounding passengers and also brought over a flight attendant.

"Attendant, kick him off! I can’t sit with this kind of scum!" the girl shouted, her expression frantic.

"If he stays on this plane, I’ll file a complaint against you once we land!"

"Ma’am, the plane is currently in mid-flight and cannot land, nor do we have the authority to kick someone off!" the flight attendant said very politely.

The girl’s face turned ashen, but she persisted, "I don’t care, find a solution. Otherwise, wait for my complaint."

"Then go ahead and file your complaint. We’re sorry, but we simply cannot fulfill your unreasonable request!" the flight attendant said with a smile.

Li Qing almost burst an internal organ, using the weakest tone to utter the firmest words.

This flight attendant seemed to have quite a personality too.

"Forget about her, is it possible to switch seats or upgrade?" Li Qing asked.

He truly couldn’t stand being near this witch any longer.

"We can’t change seats, but we can upgrade you to first class," the flight attendant checked and said. "It looks like you have bank-issued frequent flyer miles that can be used for a free upgrade."

Li Qing didn’t even know about that, and he nodded, "Then upgrade to first class, please."

"Some people despise me for being a pauper and say it lowers their status. Well, I’ll spend the money for some peace and upgrade my seat."

With a smile, the flight attendant added, "Sir, it’s free."

"Your miles could allow for several round trips in first class, and there definitely won’t be any noisy neighbors."

This remark was a stab that made the girl’s already green face even greener in an instant.

This sudden twist had caught her completely off guard.
