Chapter 44 The Poorest Dragon King in History (1/2)
Out of our expectation, the next day we mentioned it to the director, he immediately agreed and also exhorted us that “a belief is true only if you believe in it”, and that we must be sincere, not considering it as superstition; instead, he told us to believe it but not be addicted to it.
Li Long Fei drove a car to pick us up. It was hard to describe his car, which was older than “old”. Smell of gasoline prevailed inside it, while the doors and windows were not closed tightly, thus wind would come in when the car was running. It reminded me of when I was a child sitting in my uncle's tricycle along the “bumpy” road.
“Hey.” While I was in the car, I teased this eccentric ”Dragon King”, ”You must be the poorest immortal I've ever seen.”
”Hehe, sorry.” Long Fei had a nervous smile on his face as he stared straight ahead. His hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and I could vaguely see that his hands were trembling. Suddenly, a woman crossed the road, which caused Long Fei to hurriedly stop, after which the car shut down. Long Fei quickly reignited the car and found that the car could not move. He tried several times but still couldn't make it move, so he looked down to see what was going on.
”Hey,” Liu Shuai couldn't hold it in anymore and reminded him, ”You didn't put it in the first gear. This way the car will shut down after you release the clutch.”
”Oh, that’s it.” Long Fei came to a realization. Just as he was about to put the car in gear, he stepped the throttle straightly to the bottom, causing the entire car to start shaking.
”Forget it,” Liu Shuai said while trembling in fear, ”Sit at the back, I’ll drive, otherwise we may not be able to arrive at your temple.”
Long Fei looked at us in embarrassment, and obediently got off the car to switch seats with Liu Shuai.
”I'm so sorry,” Long Fei sat in the front seat as he watched Liu Shuai steadily driving his car. ”I really don't have enough donation in my temple. I saved up for many years to buy this car. I usually don't use it, but today I have to pick you guys up, so I drive it.”
”No wonder,” I saw that Liu Shuai was driving steadily, so I smiled and comforted Long Fei, “It does not matter if you don’t receive much donation. Once our Director heard that we are going to your temple, he immediately gave his approval. It seems that you really hide your strength. Even our director knows about it.”
”It's weird,” Liu Shuai said as he looked ahead. He was able to easily drive a broken car, and he voiced out his doubt, ”Why could our director know about your temple?”
“Well. That's from this spring,” Long Fei did not need to drive, so he felt a lot more relaxed. Hearing Liu Shuai's question, he started the conversation right away.
“Stop it!” If Long Fei wanted to start the story from the beginning of the year, he probably wouldn't be able to finish it even when we got to the temple, so I hurriedly interrupted him, “You don’t need to be so detailed. Just tell us the major points.”
“The major points…” It turned out that Long Fei was not good at being concise. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, ”Your director's sister had no child after being married for a couple of years, so she came to my temple this spring to make a wish and when she went back, she became pregnant. Hence she thought my temple was very holy. Your director was with her when she came back. He probably heard about his sister’s story and thought my temple was holy as well.”
“Got it.” I nodded my head, so it turned out that there was a reason behind the director’s belief in such things. Then Liu Shuai asked, “There is a question. Long Fei, how do you know which one is our director? You haven't seen us with our director before. How do you know which one he is? Are you watching us? ”
