Chapter 022: Have All the Good Men Died?

Boom!

With a crashing sound, Wang Bo turned his head and saw Shizuka Tokisaki being sent flying. She tumbled several times in the air before barely adjusting her posture, landing on her feet and sliding more than ten meters across the ground before stopping.

But Wang Bo could clearly see that her arm had been severely injured in the fight.

The bone was probably broken, yet Shizuka Tokisaki's expression remained calm, even composed, as if the broken arm belonged to someone else.

"Enough, that's it for today," Milo said, seeing this.

Shun of Andromeda immediately retracted his weapon and looked at Shizuka Tokisaki with concern. "Are you all right, Miss Tokisaki?"

"I'm fine." Shizuka Tokisaki took out the Horse Talisman and began to heal herself, while bowing to Shun. "Thank you for your instruction today, Mr. Shun."

Shun felt a bit embarrassed and quickly shook his head and waved his hands. "No, I only did what I had to do. Besides, I was a bit too rough just now. I'm grateful that Miss Tokisaki doesn't blame me."

"In battle, one should go all out. Although I don't have the qualification to make Mr. Shun go all out, I will definitely work harder in the future," Shizuka Tokisaki said.

Shun couldn't help but smile wryly.

Milo waved his hand and said, "All right, Andromeda, you may leave."

Shun nodded, bowed to Milo, and slowly withdrew from the Scorpion Palace.

Under the power of the Horse Talisman, Shizuka Tokisaki healed quickly. She walked over, lowered her head, and said, "Lord, Master, I have disappointed you."

Wang Bo said calmly, "Don't rush. You've worked hard. Sometimes you don't need to push yourself too much; it's okay to rest appropriately."

Milo said discontentedly, "How can training as a Saint be slackened? That kind of thinking is really lax."

Wang Bo chuckled and didn't argue with Milo.

Milo also knew that Wang Bo was not Athena's Saint and felt awkward being too harsh with him. Curiously, she asked, "Is there something you came to see me about today?"

Wang Bo shook his head. "Actually, nothing much. I was just idle and wanted to come see Tokisaki and also you. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, have we?"

Milo snorted. "You know that too. You dumped Tokisaki on me and didn't bother with anything. In a sense, you really are a very qualified leader."

Milo deliberately emphasized the word 'qualified.'

Wang Bo smiled and pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, Milo wasn't a harsh person. She quickly put aside the unpleasant topic, first pointing out Shizuka Tokisaki's shortcomings in the fight, then waving her hand.

"All right, I've pointed out your weaknesses in the fight just now. I hope you won't repeat them next time. Also, double all your basic training today as punishment."

Shizuka Tokisaki knelt on one knee. "Yes, Master."

"You may withdraw as well."

Shizuka Tokisaki nodded, stood up, and withdrew from the Scorpion Palace.

Wang Bo said with a smile, "Choosing you as Tokisaki's master was truly a wise decision."

Milo glanced sideways at Wang Bo. "Are you sure you didn't come to me because you're in some trouble?"

Wang Bo said bitterly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Milo thought about it and dropped the topic, instead asking about Wang Bo's recent situation. Wang Bo answered truthfully; between old friends, there was no need for formalities.

When Milo learned that Wang Bo had entered the world of Journey to the West, she said with some surprise, "If Shaka knew this, he might be very happy."

Wang Bo said dismissively, "Not necessarily. Shaka isn't an ordinary Buddhist believer; he's a man who could originally converse with the Buddha."

If it were an ordinary Buddhist believer, hearing about Tathagata Buddha would surely cause great joy.

But Shaka could already converse with the Buddha; he might have even discussed Buddhist teachings with Tathagata. A world of Journey to the West wouldn't be enough to astonish Shaka.

After Wang Bo finished telling his story, he asked about Milo's recent situation.

Milo calmly recounted her own affairs. Unlike Wang Bo's magnificent and strange experiences, Milo's days had been quite mundane.

She went to work and came home every day, occasionally taking a day off. During her breaks, she would wander around the Sanctuary to see if she could meet any good men.

After all, she was now old enough to think about marriage.

But the problem was that many in the Sanctuary knew she was a Gold Saint, so they treated her with great deference, and no one dared to date her.

As for colleagues who dared to date her, they had no interest in her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have remained single until now.

"So, have all the good men in the world died?" During the conversation, Milo couldn't help but complain.

Wang Bo said wryly, "There are plenty of good men in the world; you just haven't met them yet."

Milo said, "You've traveled through so many worlds, haven't you met any good men?"

Wang Bo thought for a moment and shook his head.

Come to think of it, he had traveled through many worlds and met more women than men. He really hadn't seen many good men.

Milo looked at Wang Bo suspiciously. "You're not just brushing me off, are you?"

"I'm not, I didn't," Wang Bo shook his head repeatedly.

Milo crossed her arms and snorted. "That's hard to say. You're not trying to hit on me yourself, so you won't introduce me to any good men, are you?"

Wang Bo: ...

"Although you're strong, have a good personality, and we get along well, unfortunately, you're too promiscuous. I don't have much liking for promiscuous men."

Milo said somewhat regretfully.

She truly felt that Wang Bo suited her well—strong and compatible in personality. She had once thought Wang Bo was a good man, but after learning he had several women, her mindset collapsed a bit.

Promiscuous men, huh!

Wang Bo shrugged helplessly. "All right, if I ever meet any quality men in the future, I'll definitely introduce them to you, okay?"

Milo nodded in satisfaction.

But Wang Bo couldn't help thinking, 'With the way you think of me today, there's no way I'll introduce you to a boyfriend. You can stay single for the rest of your life.' Imagining Milo growing older but never marrying, Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh happily.

Seeing Wang Bo laugh so happily, Milo couldn't help but laugh heartily too. As for what each of them was thinking, only they knew.
