David felt the cold fingers of the Sect Leader clench his body softly, a soft pinch from the Sect Leader is still fairly powerful and could crush even a peak grade 1 artifact, let alone an ordinary tool like him.
If the old man was to pinched any harder, he felt that he would be crushed into a metal pulp, but luckily the old man knew how to control his strength so that it wouldn't come to that.
Perhaps Luo Ru picked up on this skill too, or else in the moment when she kicked David back at the immortal ruins, could had ended in a disaster for him.
'Who is this young man? Why does he look similar to the twins? Is he a younger/older brother? Cousin? Or part of a triplet? Never mind that, can we get this show done quickly so that I can go' David complained inwardly, as he was genuinely scared of the fatty before him.
"Luo Ren, what are you doing here? I don't recall sending you an invite, even if you're my son, you can't abuse your status to just stroll in here whenever you want. This place is sacred!" Luo Han said coldly with a grave expression, no one could tell what he was thinking, but for Luo Ren, this kind of behavior from his father was all too normal.
Luo Ren shrugged his shoulders casually, dismissing the heavy gravitational spiritual intent behind his fathers stern tone. Although he was weaker then Luo Ru by a huge amount, he wasn't the least bit scared of his father like how she was.
"Father, don't be mad but... I was the one who told him to come, please don't punish him" Luo Rei said with unease, her eyes teared up as she changed her expression to be that of a spoiled puppy dog.
"Fine, I'll forgive your brother's impudent interference for now, but next time, I won't be too lenient" Luo Rei sighed in relief at this statement before readily sizing up her gift.
'What is going on here? This father is pretty shitty and doesn't he look too old to be these kids father? Sigh... I wish I could control my body, then I would be out of he in a heartbeat, wait... Stop! Don't get closer! aaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!'
David felt huge warm hands grapple him, the female fatty before him held him up into the air like a dancer, lifting up his ballerina partner as if he was a fairy. He was fairly embarrassed by this motion as all eyes were on him.
"What is this? A carriage?" Luo Rei said with uncertainty.
'Do I look like a bloody carriage? Hey, don't touch that!' David felt his body tremble, the feeling of having his wheel spin was positively different as he still wasn't use to his new body, but after a few seconds, he had calmed down.
'WhrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRR'
The wheels rotated faster as she repeatedly slid her hands down the girth of the circular disk like rubber auxiliary of the bicycle.
"Wow can I have a try?" Luo Ren eyes turned bright diamond shaped as he grinned sheepishly, for him, this tool was something new and mysterious, an oddity that needed to be understood wholeheartedly.
"No, this is a relic from an immortal ruins, and a gift for Luo Rei to use, it is not yours" Luo Han briefly saw his younger self in Luo Ren, and felt jealous. Why did he have to quit his dream of becoming a relic hunter, someone who would've travel the world if not because of a prophecy?
He didn't ask for children, but was told that he would have twin daughters by the immortal seer, but where did the third child come from? Luo Ren was an anomaly and Luo Han wasn't sure if his existence would ruin everything.
Luo Han couldn't bring himself to kill the boy as he was his flesh and blood, but instead, kept his distance from him, though if there was something to blame, Luo Han would blame himself for meddling into that immortal ruins which changed the future that the seer saw in her visions.
"We can share it between us... From now on, this relic belongs to me and you, lets go and try it out!" Luo Rei said excitedly towards her younger brother.
'Leeeeeeeeeets Gooooooooo!' David was grinning ears to ears as he was carried along by the two young siblings, they ran out of the room, leaving a gloomy looking old man behind. Luo Han's mouth twitched as he was completely ignored, but sighed before going back to reading his worn out journal.
The ground shook as the fat woman ran with joy, unexpectedly, she made it outside although she only made it a step outside the entrance of the pagoda before kneeling in exhaustion. Sweat pooled down her forehead as she breathed heavily from time to time, Luo Ren was beside her, looking down at her with concern.
Ignoring the two front guards mocking stare, Luo Ren helped his sister up before walking to a flat resting area near the top of the divine towering steps, they could see below the seemingly never-ending steps, it wasn't their first time up here, but looking downward always sent a tight nausea's feeling in their chest.
But luckily the view down below was blocked by a wave of free spirited clouds as fear of heights, does not easily wash away when you are a cultivator.
"Lets figure out how to use the relic" Luo Ren suggested.
"Ah, ok, but what is it? It seems like a mount? A flying chariot?" Luo Rei said while inspecting David.
'I had fallen so low to be reincarnated into a mount, but please don't let this pig ride me' David panicked as the fatty placed him up on his two wheels, lifted her thick trembling legs over his body, and onto the other side before sitting on his seat.
'Creeeeeeeeaaaaak!'
David felt like he was suffocating, like his body would pop due to too much pressure, it was as if a bear was casually laying on top of him, and that his body would shatter if it were there for too long.
Luo Rei wiggled her bottom to grow more comfortable on the warm leather seat of the mysterious relic, she then placed both hands onto both side of the handle bar. The wheels had too much pressure and were suffering damages.
- 3% durability in front wheels (97/100%)
- 3% durability in back wheels (97/100%)
'Oof' David was suffering for his life and was madly shaken his current predicament, that was until he heard an announcement ring inside his head.

David felt was confused at first, but then felt immense disbelief as he saw the riders interface for Luo Rei, 10/10 compatibility? Is this system joking? How can he be compatible with someone who could easily crush him to death just by riding him?
"Hmmmm, I felt something weird once I sat on it, uh never mind, how do I ride it? Giddy up!" Luo Rei said with enthusiasm.
'What the heck? Am I a horse?' Davids face fell, his self-respect has dropped to an all time low.
"Uh, I don't think you should be riding it, I'm not trying to be rude sis, but I think you are too heavy for the relic, I'm afraid that you may break it" Luo Ren said softly while cringing, he didn't really want to hurt his sisters feelings, but couldn't bare to see the mysterious relic break so easily.
Actually, in the face of bad criticism, Luo Rei's ability to handle all types of insults was second to none, actually she has been bullied more times than anyone can count, including by Luo Ru and Mei who shamelessly act make fun of her figure straight into her face, but after every insult, she disregard it immediately and move on with her life.
"Ah, ok, I too think that way" Luo Rei said while rubbing her nose in embarrassment, she didn't sense any ill intent from her brother, so she hopped off of David.
'I can finally breathe, thank god!' David felt thankful to the young man before him.
"Can I have a try?" Luo Ren said in a pleading tone.
"Don't you remember? I said before that this relic belongs to both of us, so feel free to try it anytime" The young female fatty said with a smile.
"Oh, thanks a lot, I won't stand on ceremony hehe" The young man said while laughing before picking up David, and hopping onto him.

"Oh, I felt something weird when I sat down on it, but I can't recall what..." Luo Ren mumbled quietly.
"I think I know how this tool works" He announced confidentially, which caused Luo Rei to gasp out in shock, because her brother unlocked the mystery already.
Luo Ren confidently sat on the soft leather seat and gripped each side of the handle bar tightly he then placed his right foot on the right pedal, and kicked down.
"Wow!" The young female fatty was impress when her brother soared forward as he used both legs to pedal the tool.
At first, Luo Ren was going fairly slowly, but with his cultivation senses, he managed to stay balanced while riding the bicycle, David was swaying left and right and felt that he would tilt over soon, but instead, Luo Ren quickly got the hang of the jig, and was calmly, but excitedly, riding David smoothly.
This was until, Luo Ren accidentally came about the Divine Towering Steps, and rode downwards.
"Brother!" The female fatty screamed in horror.
Luo Ren didn't realise anything wrong until the last second, he was carelessly riding with his eyes closed, feeling the rush of the wind winding through his long silky hair, this was until he felt a steep looming sense of danger and before he knew it, he was facing downwards towards the free spirited clouds.
'Dammit, is this how I die?' David thought as he descended to his doom with the reckless young man.
Instead of abandoning the mount and jumping to safety, Luo Ren had a scary glint in his eyes, he smiled like a crazy berserker in the midst of a slaughter.
So while the bicycle was into the air waiting to descend onto the steps, Luo Ren angled his body to make the bike land onto a certain area.
The stairs were made of unknown cemental type materials, and on either sides of the staircase, were thin ramps. Luo Ren landing on one side of the ramp perfectly with both wheels firmly on the ground and before you know it, his long hair was wildly dancing towards the heavens as they rode downhill at an extreme speed.
+ 1 Mile Points
+ 1 Rider EXP (Luo Ren)
After a mile or so, David got a single Mile Point, but was too busy screaming for his life to care.
They went below the misty clouds and saw the vast horizon of the whole city.
"WoooooooooHoooOOOOO!" Luo Ren yelled with great joy as they descended down like a meteor.
'He's Crazy!' David thought while staring at the young man.
+ 1 Mile Points
+ 1 Rider EXP (Luo Ren)
- 6% durability in front wheels (91/100%)
- 5% durability in back wheels (92/100%)
David felt both his wheels ignite with burning fervor, the pressure was too much for him to handle, and it became too painful for him to bare.
Faster, faster, faster they rode and in just a few dozen minutes, they were nearing the bottom. They could both see a person leisurely taking his sweet time down the steps, this was the painter from before. The painter sensed something wrong behind him, and saw something which shocked him down to the core.
"Move out of the way!" Luo Ren yelled, and the painter jumped out of the way in fright, just feel his ears tremble at the loud rumbling of the speeding young man on his weird mount, traveling downhill towards ground floor.
'Braaaaakes!' David used his breaking function immediately once they reached the ground floor.
- 10 energy (Brakes function - 90/100 energy)
His body slowed down as the breaks located in the front wheel were implemented, he didn't stop immediately, except after a couple tens of meters ahead.
"Hahahahaha, let's do that again!"
David felt his consciousness stumble forward at that statement.
'You smelly ass want to do that again? Dream on!' David thought while sweating cold sweat.
He then took a look at his system, and found that he had a couple of mile points, he wanted to now use those points to upgrade any of his features. But he also found that both his wheels were now totally ruined, they were down below 10% durability and were on the brink of rendering him crippled.
