Chapter 007: Night Scenery

As someone who had been through it, Wang Bo naturally knew what Rachel was looking for—nothing other than himself.

Or rather, the Wang Bo of this world.

He had been wandering around the base with the two beauties, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, and who knows how many people had seen them. Rachel had likely heard about it from others and rushed over to confront Wang Bo.

After all, between Wang Bo of this world and Rachel, there was plenty of ambiguity.

Their relationship was just a layer of paper away from being torn through at any moment. This kind of situation could be called quasi-lovers.

But then Wang Bo suddenly cooled off toward her, and now he was showing off his affection with other women in the base.

Naturally, Rachel had to come and see for herself.

This was only human. If their roles were reversed, Wang Bo would also come to ask for clarification.

Sure enough, when Rachel saw Wang Bo, she couldn't help but walk toward him. But at that moment, her gaze involuntarily fell on the faces of Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, and her expression turned extremely grim.

However, to Wang Bo's surprise, after glancing at Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing a few times, she suddenly turned and left.

This move caught Wang Bo off guard; he had never expected Rachel to leave so decisively.

As for why Rachel left, Wang Bo couldn't be bothered to analyze.

But her leaving like this undoubtedly did Wang Bo a huge favor.

Xiao Bai seemed to have noticed something, but she didn't speak.

After the three of them had dinner in the cafeteria, the sky gradually darkened, and Wang Bo took Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing out of the base to see the scenery outside.

After all, Hong Kong at night was still beautiful.

Since Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had come all this way, they ought to enjoy a landscape completely different from the ancient world.

Hong Kong at night was not as quiet as one might imagine.

On the contrary, it was very lively.

Even at night, there was still a considerable flow of people, gathering in small groups, chatting about everything, laughing heartily, full of human warmth.

Even though humanity in this world was on the brink of life and death, this place felt like another world, without a trace of urgency, still living their own lives.

As if the monster invasion had never happened at all.

This was human self-regulation. Especially those living in the lower depths would never know the pressure the upper echelons bore.

Most humans just muddled along, their daily concerns not about where monsters appeared, but whether food prices would rise because of the monsters, or where to eat today.

This was humanity.

Numb and indifferent, yet proud and great.

Wang Bo led Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing through the bustling city's streets and alleys, walking among the flowing crowds. But amidst the dense throng, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing remained the center of attention.

After all, they were both too beautiful.

Transcending Eastern and Western aesthetics, anyone who saw them would exclaim in heartfelt admiration of their beauty.

Many people, upon seeing the two women, grew restless and wanted to approach them. When this happened, Wang Bo would subtly cast a small spell to embarrass them.

For instance, they might accidentally trip or bump into a lamppost.

Thus, some would feel embarrassed and retreat, but there were also those with thicker skin who, even after falling flat on their faces in front of Xiao Bai, still tried to strike up a conversation without changing expression.

At that moment, Wang Bo stepped in.

He didn't mind Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing making friends, whether male or female.

Wang Bo wasn't the type with an extremely strong possessiveness who, once in a relationship, would keep the other person in the palm of his hand and control everything more broadly than the Pacific Ocean.

He hadn't become that twisted.

However, for those ill-intentioned and impure fellows, Wang Bo naturally wouldn't allow them to contact Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing. This wasn't because Wang Bo lacked confidence.

But simply because he didn't want these flies to disgust Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

After all, some people's moral下限 could break your imagination. For such people, Wang Bo never showed mercy; he would step up, greet them with a fist, and then spew profanities.

"Get lost!"

Pure violence couldn't solve all problems, but it could solve the people who created the problems.

Faced with Wang Bo's high-pressure tactics, countless thick-skinned men were beaten black and blue.

After repeating this a few times, no more men with ill intentions tried to approach Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

Of course, occasionally some women would come up, hoping to take photos with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

Wang Bo didn't interfere.

These were just simple requests. Ordinary people, when faced with beautiful things, always hoped to capture the moment. In ancient times, people used paintbrushes.

Modern people used cameras and phones.

But Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing didn't agree; they refused quite straightforwardly, which left many women somewhat regretful.

Yet Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had a great time.

They strolled with Wang Bo on the beach, treading on the waves, fully enjoying the night scenery.

The night of a modern steel city was completely different from that of ancient times—brighter and more dazzling, especially places like the Oriental Pearl, where the night was even more enchanting.

After wandering around for a few hours at night, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing were satisfied.

The two women had always learned about the modern world through movies; this time, they finally saw it with their own eyes, fulfilling a small wish of theirs.

Seeing fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, Xiao Bai said slowly, "We should go back."

Ever since they learned that Wang Bo's world-hopping involved many dangers, the two women had been cultivating more diligently. Apart from the daily obligatory displays of affection and relaxation with Wang Bo, they spent most of their time cultivating.

But unfortunately, the cultivation of妖怪 was mostly measured in years.

Thirty or fifty years wouldn't amount to much.

Three or five hundred years might be enough.

So in the short term, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing couldn't be of much use.

Wang Bo had originally planned to use the magic lamp to help Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing improve their strength, but then he thought that after improving, they might have to face powerful enemies with him, and might even get hurt.

So Wang Bo dropped the idea.

As a man, Wang Bo preferred to stand in front of Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, shielding them from wind and rain, rather than letting them face risks together with him.

Though this way of thinking was a bit macho, it was indeed Wang Bo's inner thought.

Maybe one day, Wang Bo would change his mind, but at least not now. Because now, Wang Bo would absolutely not change his mind. After all, the magic lamp could be used anytime; there was no need to dwell on it for the moment.
