"Where are we going to eat?" Wang Xiaohai asked, "I haven't decided on a place yet."
"Who would date a little rascal like you? I'm not blind!" Deli said, "Get out of here and don't try to take advantage of me."
"Don't repay kindness with evil. I am the hero who rescued you from the demon prince Doya." Wang Xiaohai felt that he had done good things but there was no good result.
"No, don't say this as a favor. I don't owe you anything!" Deli said. "Hero? I think you're scarier than the demon Doya. I feel like jumping from a small demon to a big demon is just self-inflicted pain."
"How could I be so scary? Did I threaten you? Did I force you?" Wang Xiaohai said, "No, that shows I'm definitely a gentleman."
"It's absolutely unbelievable to say that you are a good person, just like a thief won't admit that he stole something." Deli snorted coldly.
"I can't change your mind. Where do you want to eat?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"No, I've been discovered by Doya. I need to leave this steam city." Delly said, raising her voice, "Driver, keep driving out of the city."
"Do you think Duoya didn't send people to guard outside the city? Your car will probably be seen as soon as it leaves the city, and you won't be able to escape." Wang Xiaohai said, "Don't think that the prince is stupid. He may be smarter than you."
"So what? If I leave, I will only have to face one demon, Doya. If I stay in this city, I will have to face two demons, you and Doya, at the same time. So, it's better for me to escape." Deli said angrily.
Wang Xiaohai knew that she was just saying that out of anger. If he really hated her so much, Deli would have kicked him out or left the car herself.
"I know there's a roadside restaurant one kilometer ahead. How about we have a meal together?" said Wang Xiaohai.
"You've been eating all day, and it's not even lunch yet?" Deli said. "Let's talk about it at lunchtime."
"Do you mean we can have a date and have lunch together at noon?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"Well, okay, that's enough, you can go away now!" Deli really couldn't stand this bastard Wang Xiaohai, so she had to agree to his request for dinner, otherwise this guy would keep talking for how long!
Good women are afraid of men clinging to them. It's true. Wang Xiaohai showed a victory sign, but suddenly a voice in his heart reminded him: "You are a lonely star. Are you going to pursue other women and then leave them after you succeed? Think about Yunmei, Qin Jie, and Yiyi. Think about their sad eyes."
Wang Xiaohai's fiery heart was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water. He said in a calm tone: "No need to eat. I'm sorry, I can't hurt you." As he said that, he jumped off the steam car and disappeared from Deli's sight.
Wang Xiaohai did not go to see whether the treasure was unearthed. Instead, he stayed in his room all day without going out, thinking quietly and dazed, clearing his emotions.
The next day he was still in a daze. He took out a book he had bought from the previous continent and read it quietly. It was a humorous novel, mainly about making fun of others. He had a lot of fun reading the first few chapters, but he was not happy at the end. He suddenly felt a little sad and threw the book back into the ring.
It seems that Earl Dali and the other person did not return to the desert trip. Did she really leave the city? On the third day, Wang Xiaohai realized this problem when he walked out of the hotel. He was going to Dingwen Steam Branch to pick up his 100 steam cars.
"I can't get entangled with any woman anymore. Remember that you have to give up on relationships that have no results." Wang Xiaohai actually didn't want to give up on his feelings when he was in the Evil Spirit Continent, but fate arranged for him to come here. If he wants to find his way home, he can only keep strengthening his strength and stop being funny!
When they were still a few hundred meters away from the Dingwen Steam Branch, a group of lovers walked past Wang Xiaohai.
"Why do you want to learn how to operate an excavator? Your father is old and he will definitely want you to go back and inherit the restaurant and become a chef," said the woman.
"I learned to drive an excavator just because I like it. I know I'll never have to touch a steamer or an excavator, or toss a pot amidst fumes, but I just want to spend my youth without regrets!" the man said. "I don't want to wait until I'm old and regret it every time I think about this. We think my father will be unhappy if I drive an excavator, but neither of us is my father, so how can we know what he'd think? You said I should think about him, but maybe he would think - son, you should do what you want to do first, and then come back to inherit my restaurant."
The two walked away while talking.
Wang Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. The fog in his heart suddenly cleared. Exactly. Why should he harbor regrets now, only to regret them in his old age? Why did he assume others would think the same as he did? Did he really think he was a psychological guru, a god? Even a god, not at the level of Laplace's demon, would need to practice to know if something worked, not just guess!
The fire that was about to go out in his heart was rekindled.
The steam branch company had arranged a hundred drivers for Wang Xiaohai to wait next to the steam locomotive. After Wang Xiaohai handed the order contract to Ding Wen Steam Company, the hundred drivers headed in the direction indicated by Wang Xiaohai. The momentum was so great that everyone looked back several times when they passed by.
The hundred steam locomotives arrived at an open area, previously a garbage dump, where few people came. Wang Xiaohai paid each driver ten taels of silver and let them go. After all the drivers left, Wang Xiaohai used his ring to collect the ninety-nine steam locomotives and returned to his desert journey in a black car.
The car made a short and rapid rumbling sound, sprayed steam upwards, and moved slowly. The speed of this steam car was only equivalent to the speed of an ordinary person running. Just now, the sales manager recommended to Wang Xiaohai the latest steam car with six boilers boiling water at the same time. The speed was faster than a person running. However, Wang Xiaohai thought it was unnecessary. No matter how fast the steam car was, it could not run as fast as him. He bought it just to play with it like a toy. He only required quality, not speed and performance.
"Could it be that the beautiful Deli was captured by Duoya?" Wang Xiaohai thought about how he hadn't seen her return from her desert journey for a few days, or maybe she really left the city?
He became more and more uneasy, so he put away the steam engine and flew high into the sky to observe.
Everything below remained the same as yesterday, with no treasures to be found. Wang Xiaohai, standing at a high point, took in the entire panorama of Steam City. Regions gradually magnified before him, his gaze scanning the streets like a searchlight. This consumed a great deal of energy and martial spirit, equivalent to using the Senluo Eight Elephants' martial arts hundreds of times.
"I'll have to buy a few more cows to eat later." Wang Xiaohai said, and suddenly found someone he knew appeared below, "Doya!" He flew down quietly and walked towards Prince Doya from behind.
"Duoya, what are you doing here?" Wang Xiaohai patted Duoya's shoulder like a ghost.
"Ghost!" Duoya was startled, and the two golden knights beside him were also startled. If Wang Xiaohai was an assassin, Prince Duoya would have been dead!
"Why did you suddenly come out to scare people? Do you know that this will scare people to death?" Duoya scolded Wang Xiaohai.
"Did you catch Dai Li?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Deli? Why would I catch her? She's useless now!" Prince Doya denied it directly.
"Why do you say that?" Wang Xiaohai grabbed Duoya by the collar and lifted him up. "Please explain."
