Su Yang was a bit stunned by the sudden, fleeting kiss. He hadn't expected Zhong Qing to do that at all.
He stared into Zhong Qing's eyes and said calmly, "What are you doing?"
"Uh... sorry, couldn't help myself."
It was mainly that the current environment wasn't suitable; otherwise, faced with such an actively delivered 90+ beauty, his usual policy was to deal with the situation on the spot.
He quickly shook the thought from his head, then pushed himself up from the grass, rolling onto his side.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm... I'm fine." Zhong Qing hurriedly sat up.
"Good. There's something wrong with this horse; you can't ride it. Let's head back and tell the others."
"Let's go."
As they spoke, they stood up. Su Yang walked over to the horse lying on the ground not far away and checked on it.
The horse was foaming at the mouth, its eyes wide open, and its two front legs were still twitching incessantly.
"What's going on? It was fine just a moment ago. Could it have eaten something poisonous?"
Su Yang muttered to himself, then looked at Zhong Qing. "You walk back slowly. I'll run ahead and notify Uncle Dorje."
"Okay~"
Su Yang then jogged quickly toward the distant group.
A few minutes later, everyone looked at Su Yang running back with puzzled expressions.
As he got closer, Liu Bo was the first to ask, "What's up, Brother Yang? Why are you running back? Where's the horse? And where's little sister Zhong Qing?"
Su Yang explained what had just happened. Pan Ning asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
"Everyone's fine, it's just the horse that's in trouble." As he said this, he walked over to a few herders, briefly explained the situation, and they quickly mounted their horses and galloped off ahead.
Having heard about the fall, Jiang Yuxin didn't dare to ride anymore either.
Half an hour later, everyone returned to Uncle Dorje's yurt. Uncle Dorje invited them to stay for a meal.
However, thinking they still needed to get to Batang, and with the time already being 2:30 PM, they declined the meal, returned to the roadside, got into their cars, and drove toward Batang.
In the evening, the fourteen of them arrived in Batang and checked into a hotel.
Since many hadn't slept well the previous night, after dinner, everyone returned to the hotel to shower and rest.
After spending one night in Batang, they set off again early the next morning.
The four cars crossed the Jinsha River and entered the Tibetan region. On the first day from Batang, they arrived and stayed in Bomi. On the second day, they continued westward along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, reaching Linzhi.
They spent two days in Linzhi, and after witnessing the golden sunlight on Namcha Barwa, on the fourth day, they finally arrived at the capital of the Tibetan region, the Holy City.
The Holy City, also known as Lhasa, the City of Sunshine, is a famous cultural city with over 1,300 years of history. It is also a pilgrimage destination for many who travel to Tibet.
Especially along the way, they had seen some devout Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims.
They came from who knows where—some perhaps from hundreds of kilometers away, some from one or two thousand kilometers away, some even farther.
In any case, they would take three steps, then clasp their hands high above their heads, and prostrate themselves fully on the ground, advancing toward their goal with unwavering determination.
This process wasn't something an ordinary person could endure; it was an immense consumption of body, spirit, and stamina.
Although they didn't fully understand it, they respected and admired it.
...
Arriving at the Holy City also meant that their spontaneous road trip was nearing its end.
The final stop was the uninhabited area. Before that, everyone had agreed that after visiting the uninhabited area, they would begin their return journey.
Now, the four cars drove grandly into the city center of the Holy City.
Since Jiang Yuxin and Mao Xiaorong were only coming this far, and accommodations for the previous few places had been booked by Su Yang and the others, Jiang Yuxin proactively offered to book the hotels in the Holy City.
She ended up booking a five-star hotel on a travel app.
This would also be their last chance to enjoy a five-star hotel before entering the uninhabited area; after this, it would basically be roughing it.
The four cars drove along a broad street and soon arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel Jiang Yuxin had booked.
This hotel was located in the city center of the Holy City, not far from the landmark Potala Palace, making it convenient to go anywhere.
After parking the cars, everyone walked into the hotel lobby.
Jiang Yuxin still followed the previous room allocation arrangement: fourteen people, seven rooms in total—two king rooms and five twin rooms.
Su Yang and Pan Ning took their key cards, went to their room, and dropped their bags.
"Let's go visit the Potala Palace tomorrow morning, buy some necessities in the afternoon, and then set off for the uninhabited area early the day after tomorrow," Su Yang said, tossing his bag onto the bed.
Pan Ning nodded. "Okay. So, what should we do later?"
Su Yang checked the time. It was only 2 PM, still early. He turned to look at Pan Ning. "Are you tired?"
"Not too bad~"
"How about we take a nap?"
"Are you sure you mean just a nap?"
"Otherwise? It's still early. We can sleep for a bit and get up around four or five to go eat~"
Although Pan Ning said she was okay, she was actually a bit tired from the past few days of travel.
She nodded. "Alright then. I'll take a shower first~"
"I'd like to shower too. How about together? It'll be faster." Su Yang grinned and, without waiting for Pan Ning's reply, got up and gently nudged her into the bathroom.
......
Twenty minutes later, Su Yang sat on the edge of the bed, blow-drying Pan Ning's hair.
Pan Ning lay in the middle of the bed, her head resting on Su Yang's lap.
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful face before him, Su Yang couldn't help but lean down and give her a kiss.
"What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"
"I said I'm not trying to do anything. Can't I even give you a kiss?"
"A kiss is fine, but if you want to 'chat,' it'll have to wait until tonight~"
Su Yang laughed heartily. "Deal~"
"Oh, right, you said before that you liked my F80, right?"
Pan Ning, who had been looking at her phone, shifted her gaze to Su Yang's face. "Mm, it's okay."
"Just okay? Didn't you really like it back then?"
"I do like it, but it's not my favorite."
"Then what's your favorite car?"
Pan Ning rolled her eyes. "What~ are you going to give it to me?"
"Tell me first."
Pan Ning smiled slightly and sat up. "It's dry enough, you can turn it off."
"Okay~" Su Yang switched off the hairdryer, unplugged it, and tossed it aside. Then he also took off his slippers and got onto the bed.
Pan Ning leaned against the headboard, took out her phone, opened her photo album, found a picture of a car, and showed it to Su Yang.
"I like this one, but I couldn't get an order for it~"
Su Yang looked at the photo on the phone. At first, he thought Pan Ning liked some super rare car with a global limit of one, two, or three units.
Turns out, it was just the McLaren P1's successor model, the W1.
Although this car was also limited edition, it wasn't that expensive for him. The foreign price was only around 20 million, and the domestic price after taxes would probably double.
But none of that mattered. The important thing was being able to get the car. Even though it was currently sold out, he had the system.
And he could specify what car he wanted next. As long as he fulfilled certain conditions, he could get it.
I'll have to get one to give to Pan Ning. Although I'd rather buy it myself, that's too much trouble, and they're already sold out anyway. Even if I could find a channel to buy one from someone else at a high price, I'd still have to wait a long time.
So I'll just have the system help out. After all, my money comes from the system anyway—it's all the same in the end.
Su Yang looked at the photo and said with a smile, "The W1... I like that car too."
"Right? Of all the supercars I've seen so far, this one fits my taste the best. It might not be the most expensive, but it's my favorite."
"You like it, huh? Then let's buy it!"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
