The Geared Immortal

Chapter 944

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao could see that his original appearance in the immortal land had recovered. From the way it looks, ever since breaking through to the Lord realm, his physique has also changed. Besides recovering his youthful appearance, he also feels stronger than before.

"I guess none of my people would be able to recognize me this way… Hmm… Anyway, I wonder how long was I gone?" Shin Jiao thought as he flew away.

He did not notice that the side of the mountain is filled with souls that are still continuously being sucked inside the cave. The number is far more than what he saw when he exited the cave.

As Shin Jiao flew, he suddenly noticed a lot of changes have happened on his way to Zepa city.

He saw two large airships in the air heading in different directions.

He gawks at this scene and almost wanted to grab someone and ask them, how long did he really stay inside that darn space?

Although the topography of the land and the forest areas did not change, the existence of large flying transports is something new. This was part of his plans but it should have been implemented 3 months after he left Zepa city.

So if these transport vehicles are already operational, then could it be that he's been gone for more than 3 months now?

Shin Jiao immediately takes out a basic computing device inside his dimension and looks at the calendar. Upon seeing it, his eyes almost bulge out as he feels a bit shocked. Due to being too focused on learning, he now discovered that he has stayed inside that place for the whole duration of 6 months.

6 months?

That was a very long time, he wonders how his people are now?

Upon thinking to this point, Shin Jiao immediately flew to Zepa city with his fastest speed.

When he arrives at the border of the city, he immediately landed on the ground and decided to walk all the way.

"Hmm… It's better to arrive incognito to be able to check the real progress of the place…" he thought as he quickly dons on a hooded cloak.

Shin Jiao walks along the brick-paved road. And soon saw a number of people also walking.

"Hey, did you hear, the city is going to have a celebration soon? It seems that the Xing family has already proposed the marriage of the 8th Princess Gwendolyn and the son of the Xing family Martial Xing."

"The king is a bit hesitant because I heard the Xing family has gotten closer to the Mystique shop and is in league with the 3rd prince."

"Who cares… But why are they celebrating in Zepa city anyway? Why not go to the Capital City?"

"Pfft… Don't you know that Princess Gwendolyn is now living in this city? She prefers this city to the chaotic Capital City where nobles would always fight for little things. At least in here, she is free to do anything she likes and does not need to face those two-faced nobles."

"Haha… I agree with that… In here everyone has an equal status at least."

"Hey, the new artist Mayflower is going to perform a song with the song goddess Miss Nightingale. I can't wait to hear their song."

"I know, right… I wanted to hear their beautiful voices…"

"Ahhh… I just want to watch the new movie that's coming out this month. My idol, Miss Shenya is on the film."

"Yeah… And I heard that the viscount daughter living in the Outer World, Miss Olivia is in the movie too…"

As the people chatted Shin Jiao was a bit happy, in the 6 months of his absence it seems that many things have changed.

But upon hearing the name of Isabel, he immediately knew what he must do. He immediately walks to a restaurant and then gets a private room on the second floor.

The room is a bit big and the decorations are good giving off a tranquil ambiance and feeling of calmness in the air.

He takes out his communication device and looks at the flooding messages. Shin Jiao shook his head and saw that the person who mostly called him is Xiamen Gong and Hua Xiao. He wonders why that girl Im Jae did not contact him that much.

But it was also a good thing as he did not want to get entangled more with that little girl's feelings.

He immediately called Xiamen Gong.

'Hello… Shin… Is this you?' Xiamen Gong's uncertain tone is on the other line.

"Yeah, I just came out and fixed a big problem. How are you and the others?"

'Well, we're good. Axle Long has discovered something good and I am back at the ship training. The rest is also training. Are you still in the inner kingdom?'

"Yeah, I'm at Zepa city."

'What? Hold on… why are we not informed about this? We are at the headquarters now. I'll tell the rest and we will go and meet you.'

"No… I think it is better that I come to the headquarters…"

'Ah… Well, we actually transferred to the outskirts of the city.'

"Oh, I see… Okay, meet me at the Fauxian restaurant."

After the call, Shin Jiao hangs up and right at that moment, the food was also served.

The waitress would always give him a glance and smile flirtatiously. He noticed a slight blush on her face upon seeing his face.

Shin Jiao did not bother with this and began eating the dishes on the table.

It has been a while since he has eaten food, so he relishes the dishes. Though they taste ordinary and not that exquisite, it is enough to satisfy Shin Jiao's appetite.

After 15 minutes, he could already hear some commotion downstairs and saw vintage-looking cars parked outside the restaurant.

"Hmm… I guess it has really been 6 months. According to the plan, cars would be introduced at this time…" he thought.

But of course, this kind of transportation is only in the cities and not outside. This is because, outside, the terrain is not convenient for cars. The Windfall or other kind of traveling method still applies.

Soon, he saw some familiar figures walking out of the vehicles.

When the people in the restaurant saw those important and famous personages from the Mystique Shop, they immediately took photos of the scene.

"That's Hua Xiao, right? She truly looks like a goddess…"

"It's Axle Long! My goodness, he really looks handsome and attractive… I think I'm in love."

"Heh… I like the cold and unfeeling red-haired guy, Ansen Wine. He looks cool…"

"Oh, I prefer the leader aura of Xiamen Gong…"

"Who cares, those guys are all handsome… I'm willing to be their concubine… Hihihi…"

"Auntie, you're already someone's concubine…"

"Miss Song! I love you!" someone from the crowd suddenly shouted.

The rowdy people were stopped by the guards following the group as they pave way for them.

Soon they arrive in the private room where Shin Jiao is staying. The first to enter is Xiamen Gong, who immediately froze. The rest were baffled and pushes him inside. And when they entered the room, they all also froze at what they saw.

"Shin… Shin Jiao? How… How come you recovered your youth?" the first one to utter was Vilma Song.

"Yeah… You… What happened?" Xiamen Gong also chided in.

Shin Jiao just gestured for them to sit down.

When the group was seated, Shin Jiao begin to explain to them what happened in his travel.

Ansen Wine who is on the side listening showed a surprised look on his face.

After staying with the group and with Shin Jiao, though he is still the same old cold person, he has already let go of the prejudice towards Shin Jiao.

His haughty attitude is still there but the resentment is already gone and he has already considered himself as part of the group.

So after hearing Shin Jiao's story and what he has discovered about the ruins and that they are able to go out of this world now, they all feel elated.

"Are you really sure that we can go out now? But then… how could we… if… if the exit needed for us to have the physique that originates from this place? Would that mean we need to follow the cycle too? I don't want to forget anything…" Hua Xiao asked with a worried expression.

"Well, I have my ways. But first, we need to get everyone first and then discuss our next plans… In fact, I am not willing to let go of this place. This place has such great potential to enhance one's self." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Yeah… I agree, but I still prefer to be out… Hehe…" Axle Long said with a smile.

Xiamen Gong looks at Hua Xiao and then nodded his head in agreement.

Hua Xiao, on the other hand, has a complicated feeling in her heart. She has developed that feeling towards Xiamen Gong in this place, but once they go out, will that feeling still be the same? Will he be the same guy after this?

She worriedly thought…
