Chapter 72: Freeloader

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The time had come for Chu Qing to purchase a car. While Chu Qing was a sword cultivator and possessed a speed comparable to a four-wheeled car when he charged at full speed, he contemplated the idea of acquiring a car. He knew that once he reached the higher realm in his cultivation, flying through the air would become feasible. At that point, even a high-performance sports car would likely be unable to surpass his speed.

However, such a spectacle would undoubtedly draw excessive attention. Just imagine, if a group of people were to witness Chu Qing soaring through the sky, their reactions would likely be a mixture of astonishment and curiosity. Some might even harbor thoughts of capturing him and subjecting him to research or experimentation.

Flying was a dream that everyone had. Chu Qing was not afraid of being caught, but he was afraid of trouble. He was followed by a group of sneaky fellows all day long. They were as annoying as flies. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Furthermore, in order to reach that realm, Chu Qing could sense the abundant spiritual energy present in the world. With dedicated cultivation, it would likely take him a few years to achieve such a level, even considering the fact that he was essentially starting anew in his cultivation. It was important to note that he had already cultivated for a full 300 years in his previous life.

He didn’t think too much about it. He had to have a car. Chu Qing listened to the salesgirl’s introduction and touched the bank card in his pocket. He was still poor. An ordinary Bugatti Veyron cost four to five million yuan, let alone a better one.

Chu Qing hesitated as he caught a glimpse of the salesgirl’s gaze. Instantly, his enthusiasm waned, and he averted his eyes. Another young man before him had walked into the shop expecting to sec the finest car they had to offer. Chu Qing had initially assumed he was wealthy, but it turned out he was just another onlooker who had no intention of making a purchase, leaving him labeled as yet another prospective customer who couldn’t afford it.

Indeed, the salesgirl’s initial assessment was accurate. She pondered how a young boy like Chu Qing would manage to afford such a luxurious purchase. With that realization, her enthusiasm as a salesperson quickly faded away. Without a trace, she discreetly guided Chu Qing to another area, understanding that he was unlikely to make a purchase.

However, she did not know that Chu Qing had already seen all the subtle movements on her face. It was just that Chu Qing remained silent. Being despised, Chu Qing chuckled in his heart. If he had to fuss over such a small matter, he would not have to do anything for the entire day.

If someone on the street glared at him, would he have to glare back? In that case, even if Chu Qing was a sword cultivator and had extraordinary stamina, he would still be exhausted.

The reason for the salesgirl’s change in behavior was not due to any other factor but Chu Qing’s appearance. As described by the women in this world, Chu Qing possessed a devastatingly beautiful face, unmatched by anyone else. As Chu Qing walked down the street, nearly 100% of heads turned to catch a glimpse of him. The gazes of some women resembled those of hungry wolves, their eyes filled with envy and desire.

There were also those men who were pretending to be envious and jealous. Chu Qing sighed deeply in his heart. He couldn’t bear to look at them.

“Sir, in my opinion, this car suits you very well. It…” The salesgirl’s introduction woke Chu Qing up from his thoughts.

Hearing the salesgirl’s introduction, Chu Qing took a closer look and was speechless. What the hell? That was a scarlet Beetle car. It could definitely be said to be petite and cute.

Was this very compatible with him? Chu Qing couldn’t help but touch his perfect face. For the first time, he felt that it wasn’t a good thing to be handsome, especially in this feminist world.

“Ahem…” Chu Qing cleared his throat awkwardly and continued, “Do you have any cars that are considered more gender-neutral or suitable for men… no, for women? Please show me.”

Just as he was about to say it, Chu Qing realized that he had almost made another mistake and hurriedly changed his words. However, why did these words sound so awkward?

After careful consideration and amidst endless suggestions from the salesgirl, Chu Qing finally settled on purchasing a black Porsche 911 for 1.6 million yuan. It was a standard configuration, but it satisfied Chu Qing’s needs for the time being. He was content with his choice and intended to use it well.

Upon hearing Chu Qing’s decision to purchase the car, the expression on the salesgirl’s face transformed into one of immense satisfaction. This particular car fell within the mid-range category for them, which meant she would receive a substantial commission from the sale. At that moment, Chu Qing once again became her esteemed customer as customers were considered gods in the realm of sales.

Seeing that the salesgirl was in a daze, Chu Qing frowned and asked, “Is there a problem?”

Chu Qing was indeed becoming a bit sensitive due to this world. He hoped that no absurd rules would arise, such as restrictions prohibiting boys from driving this kind of car.

“N-no problem. I’ll help you with the procedures now,” the salesgirl hurriedly replied after Chu Qing asked.

Then, she turned around and walked to the counter. With her back facing Chu Qing, she muttered something. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to hear or see it. However, Chu Qing was different. He could clearly hear the salesgirl muttering something.

“It’s quite daring for a boy to purchase a car like this. He’s quite a hot-blooded fellow. And he’s so good-looking. I bet he’s amazing in bed… But it seems like he’s not yet an adult. I wonder if he’ll bring pleasure to women in the future…”

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing almost fell to the ground. He repeatedly told himself to calm down, but in the end, he still couldn’t. He swiped his card and hurriedly paid the bill. Chu Qing drove his new car and fled.

It was not because of anything else, but because the salesgirl actually took advantage of him when she gave him the key and took the opportunity to scratch his palm. Chu Qing’s entire arm instantly had goosebumps.

The salesgirl looked young, but her stomach was bulging even more than her chest. Her appearance was really not flattering. Chu Qing could not help but think of such a scene.

In the world he was familiar with, there were instances where greasy, overweight, middle-aged bald men would inappropriately reach out their hands towards young ladies in their twenties, who appeared delicate and vulnerable.

Shaking his head, Chu Qing refrained from delving deeper into those thoughts. He turned his gaze out of the car window, observing the bold and striking women and the men with heavy makeup who appeared adorable. Frustrated, Chu Qing couldn’t help but mutter a curse under his breath, “Damn it..”
