Chapter 056: You Are Such a Bastard

Yes, of course.

Wang Bo agreed almost without any hesitation.

This was originally his job.

Chunli looked at her father with a complex expression, momentarily at a loss for words. Unlike her father, she had come to this world as a child; for her, this world was her homeland.

Here are her best friend and her other friends.

If her father went back, what would she do?

Continue to stay in this world?

But in doing so, she would lose her father, yet if she followed her father back, she would never see her colleagues, her friends, or her best friend again.

There is no doubt that this is a dilemma.

Whichever she chose, Chunli found it immensely difficult. Choosing to stay in this world would mean letting down her father, for he was advanced in years and needed someone by his side to take care of him.

But when she chose to leave, she was filled with reluctance once more, for this world was saturated with memories from her childhood to adulthood!

For a moment, Chunli glared fiercely at Wang Bo and said in a low voice, "You are such a bastard."

Wang Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To be honest, he didn't know that Chunli was not an otherworldly counterpart but a time traveler. If he had known, Wang Bo wouldn't have asked the divine artifact.

But it was too late now; since the divine artifact knew that Chunli was a transmigrator, it naturally wouldn't let Wang Bo slack off.

Wang Bo had no choice but to follow the artifact's instructions and send Chunli back; she couldn't stay even if she wanted to.

Don't be fooled by this divine artifact calling him 'host' at every turn—Wang Bo knew full well that he was just an employee, while it was the real boss, his direct superior. Calling him 'host' a couple of times was already a sign of respect.

If he took it seriously, he would be a fool.

So Wang Bo always remembered his place; he would never go against the divine artifact.

Back in the world of Di Renjie, Wang Bo had already taken a wife, but after seeing off the time traveler, he obediently set off on his journey to the next world.

That was because Wang Bo understood that going against the divine artifact would bring no benefit.

If he angered the other party, they might casually toss him into an uninhabited world and strip him of all his power—whether he could survive would be another matter entirely.

Not to mention returning to the world of Di Renjie and seeing his two wives.

So in Wang Bo's view, staying alive was the most important thing.

As long as he could stay alive, all possibilities remained open. Moreover, there were too many good things across the myriad worlds; perhaps once he grew powerful enough in the future, he could shake off the influence of the divine artifact and reclaim what he truly desired.

Therefore, before gaining strength, Wang Bo was just a wage earner.

On the other side, Tong Mao heard Chunli's low curse and immediately realized that while he wanted to return to his own homeland, Chunli had lived in this world since childhood—for her, this was her homeland.

He had been too agitated just now and had overlooked Chunli's feelings; that was truly inexcusable.

He was not the kind of stubborn, unreasonable father. He immediately asked Wang Bo, "Envoy, can you send me back to my original world and leave Chunli behind? She has already gotten used to living in this world, she..."

"Dad, how can that be?" Chunli immediately interrupted her father, grabbing his hand and saying, "I want to go back with you too."

"No, you stay."

"No, I won't stay. If I stay, who will take care of you?"

"I can take care of myself. I'm not old yet; I have the ability to look after myself. How do you think I've managed all these years? Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

"I don't agree." Chunli shook her head and said, "In any case, I absolutely do not agree."

"No means no, this is an order. You stay, Chunli!"

“I…”

Just then, Wang Bo suddenly clapped his hands, cutting off Chunli, and said slowly, “Don’t argue. Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear just now, so let me put it plainly: my job is to send transmigrators home. Chunli also appears to be a transmigrator, so she must go back with you.”

Tong'ang: ...

Chunli didn't know for a moment whether she was grateful to Wang Bo or angry at him.

"I'm sorry, but this is indeed my job." Wang Bo sighed and said helplessly.

He too had no choice.

Tong'ang calmed down, looked at Chunli, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. "It seems we can't be separated for now."

"Just as well, I don't want to be separated from you either." A smile that could be either happy or sad appeared on Chunli's face, but this forced expulsion only made her more indignant.

So she glared fiercely at Wang Bo.

Wang Bo: ...

Forget it, after all, I was in the wrong in this matter. Let them glare at me if they want; it's no skin off my nose.

After that, Wang Bo exchanged a few more words with Tong Mao.

The other party said they needed a few days to take care of some matters in this world, and Wang Bo agreed.

He wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable.

The divine artifact did not urge him either; a few days were nothing to it.

So in the following days, Tong'ang visited his colleagues and friends in this world everywhere, and submitted a resignation application to the police station, giving the excuse that...

Old, wanting to settle abroad with my daughter.

After several attempts to persuade him to stay, Tong Ang's superior could see that Tong Ang's mind was made up, so he had no choice but to approve the application.

Although most people were kept in the dark, thinking only that Tong Mao and Chunli had gone to settle abroad, one person still knew that the two were about to leave this world.

And this person was Yazi.

The one who told Yazi about this was Chunli.

Both of them knew Wang Bo's identity, so when Chunli told Yazi that he was a time traveler, Yazi was stunned. She had never imagined that the friend she had grown up with was actually a time traveler.

So she found Wang Bo without hesitation.

"Can't you let Chun-Li stay in this world?"

Wang Bo said with a bitter smile, "If I keep Chunli here, what about her father Tong Mao? Do you really want them to be separated, with Tong Mao dying without anyone by his side?"

Yazi was instantly torn, and finally said hatefully, 'You really are a bastard.'

"I know." Wang Bo nodded.

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?" Yazi asked.

Wang Bo said, "Maybe there will be in the future, but not now."

"What do you mean by 'in the future'?"

"The multiverse has many wondrous things, like the space-time gate, which can connect two worlds, allowing people to move freely between them, just like visiting a neighbor's house. Perhaps I can obtain this thing in the future," Wang Bo said, offering a glimmer of hope.
