Chapter 046 Playing Games

Wang Bo's steel body, after repeated evolutions, could now effortlessly unleash a force of ten thousand tons.

Across the myriad worlds, in most realms, a force of ten thousand tons was an exceedingly exaggerated number, even surpassing the strength of dragons.

When Grandmaster Taiyin intended to engage Wang Bo in close combat, it meant he was about to lose.

A being who had not yet attained immortality, trying to contend with Wang Bo's steel body—such a notion was too naive.

Sure enough, although Grandmaster Taiyin caught the Blazing Sun Blade, he could not withstand Wang Bo's immense strength. Wang Bo deftly broke through Grandmaster Taiyin's hands, channeled the Nine Yang True Qi, and left an indelible wound on his body.

The boiling, scorching blade qi easily destroyed most of the meridians inside his body.

At the same time, it completely stripped Grandmaster Taiyin of his ability to resist.

Monk Yixiu, seeing that Wang Bo had incapacitated Grandmaster Taiyin in just a few exchanges, could not help but lower his head and recite a Buddhist chant.

Amitabha.

Buddha, I have witnessed a freak who effortlessly defeated one of the few top experts in the mortal world.

I ask the Buddha, is it still too late for me to surrender now?

Wang Bo casually cast a spell; magical power transformed into golden ropes, binding Grandmaster Taiyin. He tilted his head and glanced at Monk Yixiu, saying, "What about you? Will you come back with me, or shall I take you back by force?"

Monk Yixiu gave a few bitter laughs and said in a low voice, "This humble monk is willing to follow the施主 back."

Originally, he thought the other was merely a disciple of the Mohist school, skilled in mechanisms but lacking in strength, and that he could easily capture him. But now it seemed he had been too naive.

This was no Mohist disciple; this was a freak with explosively powerful strength.

So Yixiu felt he should behave obediently.

His own death was not important; what mattered most was not implicating Jinshan Temple.

After all, a few years ago, Jinshan Temple had suffered a calamity and was already severely damaged, teetering on the brink. If his actions brought further trouble to Jinshan Temple, it would truly be unable to escape disaster.

Then he, Yixiu, would be the eternal sinner of Jinshan Temple.

Thus, Yixiu had made up his mind to behave obediently along the way and bear all the guilt himself.

As long as Jinshan Temple could survive this ordeal, he was willing to go to his death.

Wang Bo, seeing that Monk Yixiu had become docile, nodded with satisfaction. Although he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson, since the other was willing to cooperate, Wang Bo was happy to save the effort.

"Let's go."

He dispelled the mirror space, returned to the real world, lifted Grandmaster Taiyin with one hand, grabbed Monk Yixiu's shoulder with the other, and teleported, bringing both back to the base.

Then, Wang Bo casually tossed Grandmaster Taiyin into the woodshed and took Yixiu to see Xiao Bai.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai..."

Wang Bo enthusiastically knocked on Xiao Bai's door and entered. Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing were sitting together, engrossed in playing a classic game... Super Mario!

No, it should be Super Mario Brothers!

This game had taken the world by storm back in the day, selling tens of millions of copies upon release, enough to prove just how popular it was.

Even in ancient times, it could sweep the world.

Even Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had fallen under the spell of this game. This was not the first time Wang Bo had seen the two of them huddled in their room playing games. But before this, they seemed to have been playing another classic game.

Tetris!

Hearing Wang Bo's call, Xiao Bai quickly shoved the game console into Xiao Qing's hands and asked gently, "Is there something you need?"

She didn't want Wang Bo to mistakenly think she was indulging in pleasure and neglecting her duties. Yes, that was it.

She was definitely not that kind of person.

"Xiao Bai, look who I've brought." Wang Bo excitedly moved aside and pointed outside. As for what had just happened, he pretended not to have seen it.

A man who is too clingy will be disliked by women.

Monk Yixiu stood in the center of the courtyard, hands clasped together. "This humble monk pays respects to施主 Xiao Bai."

"It's you." Xiao Bai's face immediately showed vigilance upon seeing Monk Yixiu.

Monk Yixiu said with a bitter smile, "施主 Xiao Bai, please do not be alarmed. This humble monk is merely a prisoner. I have come today to apologize for the injury I caused you not long ago. I am willing to accept whatever punishment you see fit."

Xiao Bai couldn't help but glance at Wang Bo.

Wang Bo said with a light laugh, "Xiao Bai, the little monk has come to apologize. Whether to kill or spare, it's up to you."

Xiao Bai thought for a moment, then flashed in front of Yixiu and struck him in the chest with a palm, sending him flying.

With a loud crash, Yixiu smashed through a wall, crashed into a rockery outside the courtyard, then fell to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Bai said coldly, "With this, we are even."

Yixiu stood up trembling, his face as pale as gold, his expression gloomy. He clasped his hands together and said, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, "Thank you,施主, for sparing my life."

He had not used any defensive techniques just now. After being sent flying by Xiao Bai, his internal organs were damaged, and he spat blood. It looked miserable, but there was no danger to his life.

However, this injury might require several years of quiet recuperation to fully recover.

Wang Bo thought to himself that although this version of Xiao Bai was not as kind as the Bai Suzhen in his memory, her clear distinction between gratitude and grudges and her decisiveness in killing were also a kind of charm.

He liked it very much.

He waved his hand at Monk Yixiu and said, "Alright, since Xiao Bai doesn't intend to kill you, you may go."

Monk Yixiu let out a long sigh of relief, clasped his hands together, bowed to Wang Bo, and left Wang Bo's residence with difficulty. He was severely injured and needed to find a quiet place to recuperate.

After the monk left, Xiao Bai turned to Wang Bo and said, "Thank you."

Wang Bo took Xiao Bai's hand and said, "You're welcome. These are things I should do."

Seeing this, Xiao Qing suddenly felt that the game console in her hand was no longer fun. Her face was sour, as if she had eaten dozens of lemons. But she did not step forward to disturb Wang Bo and Xiao Bai.

This made Wang Bo very gratified.

Ever since he saved Xiao Qing from Fahai last time, Xiao Qing's attitude toward him had improved a lot. Although she wouldn't be affectionate with him like Xiao Bai,

at least she no longer hindered his intimacy with Xiao Bai, nor did she frequently give him dirty looks.

Wang Bo considered this a very good start.

After he gave a few more gifts, he would successfully win over Xiao Qing. Then, he could fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"By the way, Xiao Bai, I have another surprise for you. Come with me."
