Chapter 006: Return Journey

The mayor of Flower Town, Annabel, seeing that neither a prince nor a duke was in a hurry, relaxed and said with a smile, "Flower Town is famous for its flower cakes and flower wine. Would Your Grace like to try some?"

"Please, bring me some," said Wang Bo.

He wanted to taste them and see the difference between the delicacies of this other world and those of Earth.

Annabel said, "Please wait a moment, Your Grace, Your Highness."

With that, she turned and busied herself.

Wang Bo then checked into the inn of Flower Town, deciding to rest there for the night.

After a while, Annabel had someone bring the evening's food—the famous flower cakes and flower wine.

The so-called flower cakes were desserts made from various flowers; they were more like pastries than cakes.

Flower cakes looked similar to mooncakes, with a filling inside, and had a slightly sweet taste. They came in a variety of flavors, each representing a different flower.

Legend had it that there were hundreds of flavors of flower cakes.

This time, Annabel had someone bring the dozen or so most popular flavors: Glow, Warmth, Moonlight, Sparkle... all pastries made from flowers Wang Bo had never seen before.

It must be said that these desserts were indeed delicious, with a very fresh taste.

Even Wang Bo, who was used to high-end food, found them full of novelty.

As for the flower wine, like the flower cakes, it came in hundreds of flavors. More interestingly, these flavored wines could be mixed in certain proportions to create new tastes.

Some flavors that were not very pleasant on their own became exceptionally good when blended together.

Wang Bo drank with great relish.

Incidentally, these wines had low alcohol content; the highest was only seven or eight degrees, and the lowest was hardly different from a soft drink. This was probably due to the local brewing techniques, which produced no strong liquor.

But compared to strong liquor, Wang Bo preferred the wine here.

Because he really didn't like drinking strong liquor.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wang Bo bid farewell to the prince and returned to his room, where he transferred the flowers he had gathered during the day into his Time Villa.

This world had many plants and flowers that Wang Bo had never seen before, so he wanted to collect them and put them in his Time Villa to make it more beautiful.

So next, Wang Bo continuously cast the Undetectable Extension Charm to expand the space inside the Time Villa, while also commanding the demons to go to the Flower Plains and collect all kinds of flowers.

After spending several days in the Time Villa, Wang Bo finally opened up a small flower plain, which greatly gratified him.

Although the flower plain was small now, in the future, as he visited more other worlds and saw various flowers, he could transplant them into the Time Villa and expand his flower plain.

By then, flowers from countless worlds gathered together would be truly beautiful.

Thinking of the future flower plain, a riot of colors, Wang Bo felt a surge of excitement. After all, everyone likes their living environment to be as beautiful as possible.

Wang Bo was no exception.

When Wang Bo returned to the real world from the Time Villa, the sky over Flower Town had just begun to brighten, but the people of Flower Town were already up. As Wang Bo left the inn, he saw everyone gathering in groups, ready to set off.

Wang Bo then ordered someone to wake Prince Kit. After breakfast, he led over a thousand people, and with a great commotion, they left Flower Town.

Many people frequently looked back along the road, gazing at their homes, their eyes filled with reluctance.

No one knew what war would reduce Flower Town to. Perhaps when they returned again, Flower Town might have become a scorched wasteland.

After all, the cruelty of war was well known, so everyone's spirits were low along the way.

However, Wang Bo was in good spirits. When they had come, Prince Kit had urged them on, so everyone had walked quickly, and Wang Bo had not had a chance to enjoy the scenery.

But on the way back, because the procession of thousands stretched out long, they could not go fast, and Wang Bo had enough time to appreciate the scenery of the other world.

Completely different from the modern steel cities, the other world was in the Middle Ages, with almost no industry, so industrial pollution was nearly nonexistent. The sky was very blue, the river water clear, the trees lush, and the flowers brilliant.

This was a scene rarely seen in the modern world.

It was the most pristine and beautiful scenery, without any pollution.

Especially the unknown trees and flowers, as well as some small animals never seen before, which broadened Wang Bo's horizons.

Of course, not everything in the other world was good. For example, the environment was excellent, but the roads were terrible, all made of dirt.

Once it rained, they would become muddy and difficult to traverse.

Moreover, people did not value hygiene as much as in the modern world, especially the lack of public toilets. So when people needed to relieve themselves, they would slip into the small woods to do so.

With Wang Bo's keen senses, he had to add a barrier of purified air to block the overwhelming odors.

The group stopped and started along the way, not at all like they were fleeing, but more like on an outing.

Seeing this, Prince Kit felt anxious, fearing that pursuers might catch up from behind.

But Wang Bo did not care at all, which left Prince Kit utterly puzzled. Could it be that the Duke was not afraid of pursuers at all, or had he received some news that there would be no pursuers?

So the young and impatient Prince Kit once again expressed his doubts to Wang Bo.

After hearing this, Wang Bo slowly said, "Yes, Prince, I have indeed received some news. There will be no pursuers."

"Why?"

Because I sent a few demons to hold the rear. With the strength of humans, unless they have several thousand soldiers, they simply cannot break through the demons' defense and catch up to us.

But Wang Bo could not tell Prince Kit this answer.

So he could only say vaguely, "I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason, but my soldiers have told me that there are indeed no pursuers behind us. So please relax, Your Highness. Just treat this as an outing."

The prince had no choice but to trust Wang Bo. Still, he sent a few soldiers back to find out what had happened.

Wang Bo did not mind this.

Two days later, after stopping and starting, the group finally arrived at another town in the kingdom... Gold Rush Town.

Gold Rush Town was a必经之路 on the way to Flower Town. When Wang Bo's group had come, they had passed through this town, but because they were in a hurry, Wang Bo had not had a chance to appreciate the scenery of Gold Rush Town.

This time on the return, Wang Bo naturally wanted to take a good look.
