Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel

Chapter 388: License

It had been 3 weeks since Alex started learning how to drive a car and today was the day he proved it wasn't for waste.

Hannah was also getting her driving license today, so she was taking the test as well.

An instructor got into their car and made them drive onto a populated road that the testers manufactured themselves. It was supposed to mimic similar scenarios as those that would be found in an actual road on a daily basis.

Both Hannah and Alex showed excellent skills and successfully passed the test.

They came out with a big smile.

"Wow, you guys did it? Congratulations," Sarah said. "It took me twice to get my license."

"Yeah, this was much easier than I thought," Hannah said.

"I didn't have such an easy time though," Alex said with a slight chuckle.

"Well, that's only because you didn't spend as many days as me during the lessons. The fact that you passed is already good enough," Hannah said.

"Alright, let's go back home," Sarah said.

"Hey, let me drive," Hannah said, but Sarah didn't agree. It was a highway back home, and she didn't want to let a newbie endanger her. She would get her chance once they were back around their home.

"So, we go back home straight right?" Sarah said.

"No, let's go to a dealership. I want to buy a car right now," Hannah said.

"What? Today?" Sarah exclaimed. She knew the hassle of buying a car and didn't want to go through it again.

"It'll be fine. I brought all the necessary documents with me. It will be quick," she said.

"Fine," Sarah gave up and took them to a dealership.

Alex didn't want to buy a car just yet so he skipped out on it for today. Hannah on the other hand was very excited. After 2 hours of searching, selecting, and buying, she bought a car worth around 70 thousand dollars.

Once all the documents were ready, she drove it back to the house herself. Alex was a little scared while Hannah was driving but she was good enough to drive on the busy road.

While on the road, Hannah's phone started ringing.

"Hey, can you get that for me?" Hannah said.

Alex took the phone from her purse's pocket and looked who it was and answered it.

"Hey Aunt Liz," he spoke to the other person on the phone.

"Oh hey, Alex. Where's your sister?"

Hannah's mother spoke from the other side.

"Oh, she's driving the car right now," Alex said.

"Huh? Your tests haven't ended yet?" she asked.

"Oh, we're done already. Sister just bought a new car and is now driving it back home," Alex said.

"What? That reckless girl. I'll set her straight when she comes back home," his aunt started getting a little angry.

"I can hear you, Mom. Stop getting angry. I told you I can afford it now; you don't have to worry about the money," Hannah said.

"So you passed the test?" she asked.

"Of course. Why else would I buy one? Anyway, is that why you called? I need to focus back on the road," Hannah said.

"Sigh, I will speak with Alex, you drive," she said. "Oh yeah, Alex, do you have some free time within the next week or two?" she asked.

"Free time? Umm… I usually have Fridays through Sundays free. I don't have classes those days," Alex said.

"Oh, perfect. I haven't gone back home in a long time and was missing it. So, I made plans for going there this weekend, can you come by with Hannah around that time?" she asked.

"Next week, huh? Yeah, I can manage that," Alex said.

"Perfect. I will let big brother know. Alright, have fun you two. Bye." She ended the call after hearing both of them say their goodbyes.

"Going to the countryside huh? It has been a while, to say the least. I guess it will be fun," Hannah said.

They soon reached home. Sarah was behind them at all times, making sure they didn't get into an accident or anything. When she saw the car enter the parking lot and safely park there, she finally sighed in relief.

They went up the elevator to their apartment. As soon as they opened the door, an amazing smell hit their faces, immediately changing their faces to delight.

"Oh, you guys are back. How did the test go?" Emily walked out of the kitchen and asked. She had started feeling guilty about not paying anything, so she had started working on the household chores instead to make up for it.

"We both passed," Alex said with a smile.

"Ah, congratulations. I knew you guys could do it. I prepared some dishes for the celebration. Go and get changed, I will get them ready," Emily said and went back to the kitchen.

All 3 of them went back to their rooms and freshened up before coming back to the kitchen. Emily's meals were delicious and everyone complimented her on her cooking. Alex hadn't eaten such a hearty meal in quite a while and happily ate it all.

By the time Alex was done with the meal, it was 1 pm on a Friday. He had plans to go on a date with Emily tomorrow, so he decided to go back into the game for today and practice as he always did.

As soon as he logged in, he saw Pearl in front of him. "How have you been, buddy? You bored?" he asked.

"Meow," Pearl meowed in affirmation, but at the same time, Alex also heard a child's voice in his head. "Yes." After giving all 3 of those Spirit Cleansing lilies to Pearl, he had greatly increased his spiritual sense and was now starting to learn minor words.

Alex was surprised, but not as much since he had heard his mother speak as well.

"You ready for a fight?" he asked. Pearl's ears perked up and answered "yes" in his mind again. Without any hesitation, they started fighting once again.
