Chapter 015: The Woman in White

Witnessing this series of tragic scenes, Wang Bo sighed, used teleportation to send the beggars to his territory, and instructed Miss Friday to arrange for someone to take care of them.

As for those who clearly had the ability to help the beggars but looked down on them, Wang Bo did not take his anger out on them.

No one's money comes from the wind. Everyone has a hard life; helping others is a kindness, not helping is one's duty.

Naturally, Wang Bo could not punish them for that.

Of course, if one day Wang Bo's mechanical soldiers attacked Yongzhou City and found within it those who were wealthy but unkind, steeped in evil, he would not begrudge an order for the mechanical soldiers to send those who fed on human flesh and drank human blood straight to meet Yama.

At the same time, the sudden disappearance of the beggars from the streets immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Many people were so frightened they collapsed to the ground, while others shouted, "Ghosts, ghosts!" and fled quickly.

For a time, Yongzhou City was in chaos, with people panicked and uneasy.

After all, a group of living people suddenly vanishing at night—who wouldn't be afraid?

It was not surprising that such a scene occurred in Yongzhou City.

But at this moment, Wang Bo smiled faintly, quietly departed, hiding his merit and fame. However, Wang Bo did not see, as he left,

Wang Bo left Yongzhou City, shifted his gaze, and used his far-sight to search for traces of Baoqing Workshop.

Fortunately, Baoqing Workshop was not far from Yongzhou City, and Wang Bo quickly found it.

Just as Wang Bo was about to head to Baoqing Workshop, he suddenly noticed something very interesting.

In a forest outside Yongzhou City, several burly men were stalking a woman in white.

Seeing this, Wang Bo instinctively thought of many bad things, like stalking, like imprisonment, and like certain scenes that only appear in novels and TV shows.

Wang Bo had crossed several worlds and was considered a veteran, but he had rarely witnessed such scenes.

He never expected to encounter one today.

These burly men clearly had ill intentions. Wang Bo slightly extended his hearing and overheard their conversation; it turned out these men were hired thugs for a guild in Yongzhou City.

In this chaotic era, guilds often forced women into prostitution or abducted respectable women to make money. Anyway, with so many refugees these days, no one would care if a few went missing.

This time, their target was the woman in white ahead.

Wang Bo also took a look. This woman in white was indeed very beautiful, stunningly gorgeous. Even Wang Bo, who had seen many beauties, was startled, for this woman in white was exceptionally beautiful.

No wonder she had been targeted.

But Wang Bo did not have a burst of righteous indignation and rush out to deal with the stalking men.

Because he knew very well that in this chaotic era, a woman of breathtaking beauty who dared to travel alone and had not been caught until now must possess extraordinary skills.

These burly men behind might not be a match for the woman in white ahead.

Although all this was Wang Bo's speculation without solid evidence, since Wang Bo was here, it didn't matter if he guessed wrong.

After all, he could stop a tragedy at any time, and perhaps stage a heroic rescue to win the woman's favor.

Though the cliché was a bit old, it would definitely work in this world.

So Wang Bo quietly followed behind them.

Before long, the burly men, seeing no one around, finally couldn't resist jumping out from behind, sprinted, and soon caught up with the woman in white, surrounding her.

Wang Bo silently appeared on a tree, looking down at the unfolding events.

After the men blocked the woman in white, they became unrestrained, spewing obscenities.

But Wang Bo noticed that the woman in white remained cold-faced, showing no fear, and he immediately understood.

This woman indeed had extraordinary skills.

Sure enough, when the men gradually approached the woman and reached out to touch her face, the woman struck instantly. Her right hand formed a sword gesture, and a blade of ice shot from her fingertip, piercing the man's throat.

The man stared at the woman in astonishment, his mouth opening as if to say something, but his vocal cords had been destroyed, and he could not utter a sound.

A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth and throat.

The surrounding men were stunned.

Wang Bo was also startled. He knew the woman had skills, but he did not expect her to be so terrifying, striking without mercy, killing in one blow.

From this, it was clear that the woman was cold and ruthless, completely disregarding human life.

But Wang Bo could not say anything, after all, such was the world. Especially for a beautiful woman like the one in white traveling alone, if she were not ruthless, she would encounter countless troubles.

Moreover, these men were no good; they had swindled and abducted many innocent women.

That alone was enough to sentence them to death.

For this reason, Wang Bo did not intervene.

After the woman in white killed one man, the others, terrified out of their wits, fled in panic.

Just as Wang Bo thought the woman would wipe them all out, he found that she did not act but instead let them escape.

This...

Wang Bo could not figure out this woman—whether she was bloodthirsty or kind-hearted.

If she was kind-hearted, she killed without blinking, taking a life in an instant.

But if she was bloodthirsty, she did not annihilate the others.

How contradictory!

Wang Bo had to admit that what attracted him was not only her appearance but also her skills and personality, making him want to get to know her.

So he took the initiative to jump down from the tree.

The woman in white clearly did not expect someone to be hiding nearby. Seeing Wang Bo jump out, she was greatly startled, her expression full of vigilance, her hair standing on end, and a shocking chill emanated from her body.

Wang Bo raised an eyebrow, realizing he seemed to often encounter women who liked playing with ice.

The White Witch was like that, the witch who cursed the prince in the Cinderella world was like that, and now this woman in white was also like that.

By the way, do women in white all like playing with ice?

The icy chill encroached, and Wang Bo instinctively activated his Nine Yang True Qi. The scorching true qi surged out, rapidly raising the temperature in the air. The fallen leaves around caught fire spontaneously, as if about to ignite the forest and burn it to ashes.
