Chapter 905 The Legend of the Dark River 237
An hour later, the two carried their suitcases downstairs to check on how the others were packing.
Everyone acted faster than Li Chu had expected; they were all already sitting in the living room with their suitcases, waiting.
Amu, Ashui, and the puppet Aqing all acted as drivers, taking everyone to the airport.
The journey used to take forty minutes, and along the way, everyone could enjoy the city's nighttime street scenes.
Mu Xuewei whispered to the person next to her, "The airport looks so big and beautiful. The transparent walls on the buildings must be made of glass."
"Is that glass?" Mu Yumo asked hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hehuai shook his head: "No, I checked before I came. It's ultra-clear tempered glass. It not only lets light through, but it also insulates against heat and sound, and it's safe."
"You even did some research beforehand, that's good."
"That is."
"Look, there are so many big ones."
After resting in the lounge for an hour, when it was time to head to the gate, they saw the planes on the tarmac.
"Su Muyu, look at us now, do we still look like we were in the Dark River?"
Looking into everyone's eyes, one could see a pure curiosity about their surroundings and a genuine sense of ease.
Here, there is no killing or bloodshed, and far from darkness, they can stand openly in the sunlight.
Looking at the people in this world, they are all chatting and laughing with their relatives and friends. Right now, everyone looks no different from anyone else.
Su Muyu smiled and said, "This kind of life is very good."
Su Changhe smiled and walked forward to find Li Chu.
"We're really in the sky! There are clouds all outside the window." Mu Qingyang leaned close to the window, staring intently.
Su Changli: "I still find it incredible that it can carry so many people through the air."
"Keep your voice down, or it'll make us look like we've never seen anything like this before." Xie Qianji said this, but he never looked away.
"We've definitely never seen these before."
Seeing everyone looking out the window and whispering excitedly, Li Chu gave them a few instructions and then went to rest.
Whether she's traveling by car or plane, she usually likes to sleep or rest with her eyes closed.
Unless you're driving yourself, in which case you definitely need to concentrate.

Spinach City is a coastal city, and as soon as we got off the plane, we felt that the temperature was quite different from that of Pumpkin City.
Even though it was already evening, when that heat hit my face, I felt myself starting to sweat in no time.
Bai Hehuai: "It's so hot here. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it feels like there's a faint salty smell in the air."
"It's not an illusion; this place is surrounded by the sea on all sides."
Before leaving the airport, Li Chu took out her phone to check her messages.
"The sun is probably quite strong during the day, should we buy a hat?" Mu Yumo suggested.
"I need to buy some sunscreen products too."
As soon as I exited, I saw two young people wearing identical clothes holding signs with the company name on them.
Li Chu knew immediately that they were the people who had come to pick them up, and waved to them.
The two hurried over: "Are you Miss Li? We are staff members of the Space Travel Company, specifically in charge of your trip. I am your tour guide, Chen Chen."
"I am driver Li Han."
"I'm Li Chu. Please take us to the car first; it's too hot outside."
"Okay, everyone, follow us."
Upon arriving at the parking lot, they were picked up in a luxurious minibus.
The exterior features an all-black paint finish, complemented by chrome trim and a streamlined design, giving it a composed yet powerful appearance.
The interior of the car is mostly made of genuine leather and solid wood trim, and the aviation-style electric seats can also massage.
The car is fully equipped with a refrigerator, high-definition internet TV, high-end audio system, dining table, and bar.
Li Chu chose a seat in the middle by the window, and Su Changhe followed closely behind, sitting next to her.
On the bus, Chen Chen was pulled aside to ask about the local attractions.
He was also very responsible, constantly telling everyone stories, and because of his cheerful and humorous personality, he would often make everyone laugh.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination, a tourist resort.
I stayed at a sea-view villa hotel, which had a great location. I could see the beach and the waves just by opening the curtains in the room.
The villa is very large, with two large swimming pools in the yard, each with a row of lounge chairs, as well as an entertainment room, gym, kitchen, and other amenities.
After having the meal provided by the hotel, it was getting late, so everyone settled in and planned to go out again tomorrow.
There were sixteen of them, and the room was more than enough, but when Li Chu came out of the shower, she saw an extra suitcase in the room.
It wasn't too surprising, since it was expected.
"Su Changhe, you're pretty quick! Can't sleep alone?"
No wonder he specifically asked for a room key for his own room just now; he had planned this all along.
Li Chu dried her half-dry hair with a towel, but didn't look at him.
Then, a pair of large hands appeared on her waist and began to move restlessly.
Su Changhe hugged her, rested his head on Li Chu's shoulder, and laughed freely: "We've been married for many years, so it's quite normal for us to live together."
As he spoke, his hand reached for the belt of her bathrobe, and he was stopped just as he was about to pull it open.
Li Chu grabbed his hand, preventing him from moving: "Wait, go and wash yourself first."
"I'm not dirty, but I still need to shower. Will you come with me? Hmm?"
Before she could reply, he swept her up in his arms.
Li Chu gave him a light punch, but not hard: "I'm not going, I just finished washing up."
"You have to go, whether you want to or not. I'll wash you again." Su Changhe picked her up and closed the bathroom door.
Seeing how domineering he was, Li Chu wanted to kick him, but seeing the deep longing in his eyes, she decided against it.
After all, Su Changhe was different from her. For her, a long time had passed between them, and she had gone through several worlds in between.
He had just gone through a life-or-death separation with me, so I'll give him a break today.
"What are you thinking about? Don't get distracted."
Li Chu was pinned against the bathroom wall by Su Changhe, who lifted her chin and kissed her forcefully.
The bathrobes and clothes were quickly thrown aside, and the warm water soaked their bodies, the steam blurring their vision.
……
"I've been wearing skirts every day lately, so please don't leave any marks on my body."
"Don't worry, I won't leave any where I can see it... Ouch, be gentle with your hands."
"uh-huh."
……
More than two hours later, they moved from the bathroom to the room, where the noise continued throughout the night.

The next afternoon.
"How come you're not tired at all?"
Su Changhe lay on the bed, watching Li Chu get up and get dressed, and felt a little doubtful about life.
He rubbed his lower back. Tsk, it was a little sore. Wait... why was his lower back sore?
