Chapter 811: Chapter 815: Romantic Fantasy
"It seems, no," Qin Ruoli said.
"Oh, I see," Yang Gang responded with a neutral expression. He got out of bed, stretched, and then walked out of the room.
Took a deep breath of oxygen.
Cough cough~
He had intended to breathe in so fresh air, but to his disappointnt, the air quality in the mountains was even worse than in Jincheng’s urban area.
"Yang Gang, are you alright?" Qin Ruoli bent her body, looking at Yang Gang.
Yang Gang smiled, "I’m fine, just that Jincheng is a bit different from what I imagined."
Qin Ruoli looked around at the bare mountains and said faintly, "The excessive mining of gold has destroyed the entire mountain region’s ecosystem."
She paused, sighed, and continued, "This is the downside of oligarchy. Under a dictatorship, the entire country belongs to an individual or a single power. They would think long term and consider future sustainable developnt while mining. But in the Xilan Republic, the oligopoly ford by the Xue Clan and two other major families will only exhaust the citizens for short-term gain, disregarding environntal protection, and competing desperately to mine, mine, mine."
Qin Ruoli fell silent for a while before adding, "As a child, this place was filled with green mountains and clear waters. Going hunting in the mountains with my father and picking vegetables with my mother—those are my most cherished childhood mories. Now, all that is gone. The green mountains and clear waters are no more. My mother, she left. My father, he changed professions."
"Uh..." Yang Gang didn’t know what to say.
At this mont, Bai Tong returned from gathering information in Jincheng.
"Yang Gang, are you awake?" Bai Tong asked with a smile.
Yang Gang nodded, "Yes."
"How’s your body feeling?" Bai Tong asked again.
"Great, fully revitalized," Yang Gang said with a laugh, and then added, "Let’s go inside first."
"Ah, I need to make a trip back to the city. My dad seems really worried about ," Qin Ruoli suddenly said.
She pressed her hands together and said apologetically, "Sister Bai Tong, you and Yang Gang go back first. Sorry for the inadequate hospitality, please forgive ."
Bai Tong smiled, "It’s okay, you go ahead."
"Alright. Bye."
After Qin Ruoli left, Bai Tong smiled and said, "Ruoli is a good girl."
"Yeah..." Yang Gang knew what Bai Tong ant and, stroking his chin, he gave a wry smile, "She’s a beautiful flower, but not one that can be plucked."
"Why?"
Yang Gang sighed before saying, "Sister Bai Tong, I have a girlfriend."
"A girlfriend..." Bai Tong was montarily taken aback but quickly composed herself and smiled, "Who is she? Do I know her?"
"It’s Gu Ge from the Land of Fallen, she’s actually my girlfriend Gu Xiaorou. They’re twins, and I was deceived too," Yang Gang said with a smile.
"Oh, that girl, she’s really pretty," Bai Tong said, her eyes sparkling, though her thoughts were unclear.
They went back into the house.
"Sister Bai Tong, what’s the situation in Jincheng right now?" Yang Gang asked.
"That Pentaceratops has been killed, but the citizens are still in a panic," Bai Tong said, pausing and in a puzzled tone added: "Many people say it’s a dragon-like monster from Pandora Star, but the Pentaceratops looks clearly like a species from Earth, from 75 million years ago in the late Cretaceous era, a herbivorous dinosaur, the Pentaceratops."
"We humans haven’t seen a real dinosaur, so maybe that Pentaceratops really did co from Pandora Star," Yang Gang said vaguely.
"But humans have been able to accurately reconstruct dinosaurs’ forms using computer simulation technology based on dinosaur fossils for decades now, and the technology is very mature. There shouldn’t be a discrepancy," Bai Tong said.
She paused, then added, "Besides, it’s far-fetched to speculate that humans could suddenly turn into dinosaurs, or dinosaurs could disguise themselves as humans."
Yang Gang chuckled, "Before the monsters appeared, did you know that 120 light-years away there was an intelligent planet? Could you imagine that the creatures on this planet possessed the legendary dinsional space jumping technology?"
"This..."
Yang Gang smirked and said, "That’s science for you. The more advanced the technology, the more inexplicable phenona there are."
"Uh, that’s true," Bai Tong said, glancing at Yang Gang.
"What’s up? You’re making
feel embarrassed," Yang Gang said, scratching his head ’shyly’.
Bai Tong chuckled, "I’m just surprised. When I first t you in the Land of Fallen, you seed like a greenhorn. Now, you’ve grown into a brave and intelligent man."
"You flatter , Sister Bai Tong."
Neither ntioned the intense passion and wildness from the previous night.
After all, it was hardly sothing to be proud of.
On the surface, everything seed the sa between them. But both Yang Gang and Bai Tong harbored so inexplicable thoughts in their hearts.
Especially Bai Tong.
Since that involuntary night with Yang Gang, ripples had stirred in her heart—a faint disturbance, yet impossible to calm. These ripples churned even more fiercely when Yang Gang stood up to fight for her and Long Yi yesterday.
To her own surprise, Bai Tong, a woman of her age, had her youthful romance reignited—a sense of innocence and passion.
But deep down, Bai Tong knew all too well. What she shared with Yang Gang was just a chance encounter, a beautiful fluke, nothing more. She had seen that girl nad Gu Ge—no, Gu Xiaorou was her na. Young and beautiful, a beauty of her ti, and more importantly, Yang Gang seed really fond of that girl...
"Ah, what am I even thinking? At my age, thinking these shaless thoughts!"
In her fluster, Bai Tong grabbed a book off the shelf to hide her embarrassnt.
It was an encyclopedia of world travel.
Bai Tong pretended to flip through the travel book.
Yang Gang glanced over and asked with a faint smile, "Sister Bai Tong, is there sowhere you’d like to travel?"
Bai Tong closed the book, smiled faintly, "There is, but it’s not possible to go."
"Hm, where?" Yang Gang asked curiously.
"The Pandora Star."
Yang Gang broke out in a slight sweat, "That’s indeed impossible to go."
Bai Tong chuckled, "I’ve heard that only the witches of the Dark Moon Sect can travel to the Pandora Star by invoking Hajis. How wonderful, I’m envious and resentful."
Yang Gang sat on the sofa, tilting his head, hand propped against his cheek, his expression contemplative, "Pandora Star, huh? Speaking of which, Sister Miao also said she wanted to go to the Pandora Star for her honeymoon..."
He gathered his emotions and said, "Hey, Sister Bai Tong, do won really want to go to Pandora Star that much?"
Bai Tong chuckled, "It’s a romantic fantasy. Just imagine, a super planet thousands of tis larger than Earth, beautiful, pretty, mysterious, and with humans, maybe even romantic encounters. No woman could resist that."
"Ha~" Yang Gang’s lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself: "Won, creatures with long hair and short wisdom. Before fantasizing about romance, shouldn’t you first consider your survival? That’s the holand of monsters. There, humans are ruled by the King of Beasts, Hajis! Moreover, it’s a planet 120 light-years away. Even if you traveled by missile, it’d take millions of years. Forget it, if you take it seriously, you’ve already lost~~"
Just then, Yang Gang’s gaze inadvertently swept over Bai Tong, his expression slightly awkward.
