The Ace Bodyguard

Wang Xiao explained: "Drilling wood for fire is actually very simple. Using dried wood, and also the kind that can be ignited easily, then digging out a groove, and then adding a bit of sand inside to increase the friction. Afterwards, adding on some dried grass, then using a tree branch, putting one end of the tree branch into the groove, and quickly rubbing his hands back and forth.    

    

"It's that simple?" Yang Lei asked.    

    

"Actually, it's easy to say, but difficult to say, because it's very difficult to produce sparks in less than an hour. Moreover, you can't stop halfway. Once you stop, the temperature of the friction will decrease." Wang Xiao explained.    

    

"Oh, I see." Yang Lei was very curious. She wanted to personally witness how Wang Xiao drill wood to get fire. Although she had heard of drilling wood for fire before, she had never seen it before.    

    

After the water droplets on Wang Xiao's body dried, he wore the clothes. After being exposed to the sunlight, the thin clothes were already dry, but the clothes had not dried yet. After dressing, Wang Xiao held the fish in one hand and the remaining six Coconut Fruits in the other. Fortunately, Wang Xiao had already prepared a simple tree vine basket for these coconut fruits, so he didn't waste any time.    

    

"Wang Xiao, let me help you." Yang Lei wanted to share some of the pressure on Wang Xiao.    

    

"No need, you don't have enough strength." Wang Xiao shook his head.    

    

"You're so nice to me." Yang Lei smiled.    

    

Under Wang Xiao's lead, Yang Lei walked towards the place where the firewood was piled. After surviving the calamity, the two of them were in a very good mood. Although she was not yet in any real danger of escaping and was trapped on the island, it was still a million times better than her previous situation.    

    

"Wang Xiao, have you heard of the Maldives?" Yang Lei suddenly asked.    

    

"I've heard of it, but I've never been there." Wang Xiao said.    

    

He had indeed heard of this country before, but he had never been there. Since there was nothing to fish for, everyone was too lazy to go there. Right now, those mercenaries were only interested in profit. There was no place for them to fish for money, they definitely wouldn't go. As for tourism, that was impossible. In fact, mercenaries all have one thing in common, and that is that they don't like to travel.    

    

Even Wang Xiao was the same. In the past, when he was a mercenary in those regions of Africa, he rarely traveled, and did not even go there. Most mercenaries, once they received their commission, would simply drink, gamble, and sleep with women in their arms. "Some people look for a few women, some look for a few women, and they all get excited. Very few people go for a walk.    

    

Yang Lei said: "It is said that due to the global climate rising, in fifty years, Maldives will be submerged by the sea water. I was just wondering what it would be like if, one day, the global climate really rose and caused the world to be flooded. "    

    

Wang Xiao shook his head and laughed bitterly.    

    

Yang Lei was too much, to think that she was worrying over nothing. What the hell was she thinking about?    

    

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Lei asked.    

    

"You're too pessimistic." Wang Xiao said.    

    

Even if the global climate were to rise, causing the entire world's coastal areas and many cities to be flooded, who knows how many years it would be, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years from now. Why was Yang Lei so pessimistic? Thinking about the world hundreds of thousands of years from now, wasn't this unnecessary?    

    

When the two of them arrived at the place that was filled with firewood, Yang Lei looked around. Wang Xiao held a handful of dry and withered grass in her hand, and then she activated the Nine-dragon Qigong in her body.    

    

Boom!    

    

Suddenly, a flame appeared. The dry hay in his water was also burning fiercely. Yang Lei opened her eyes wide and looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief.    

    

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.    

    

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, even in her dreams she wouldn't have dared to believe it. Could this be the so-called drilling for wood to make fire? No, definitely not.    

    

As she looked at Wang Xiao in shock, Yang Lei actually couldn't say a single word.    

    

After Wang Xiao casually looked at the dumbstruck Yang Lei, he squatted down and started a fire. Becoming an expert of Innate Stage was indeed much more convenient. At the very least, when they were making a fire, as long as they used the Genuine Qi s that were burning hot, they would be able to do it easily. He remembered that when he was still only at Acquired Stage, lighting a fire was not so convenient.    

    

"Wang Xiao, how did you do it?" Yang Lei finally could not hold it in and asked.    

    

"If I knew magic, would you believe it?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

"I don't believe you." Yang Lei shook her head.    

    

"Why?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

Yang Lei said: "It's because of the magic, and it's all using props. It's actually fake."    

    

"Then if I had special abilities, would you believe it?" Wang Xiao continued to ask.    

    

Yang Lei's expression was serious, and even more so, she said solemnly: "Of course I believe you."    

    

If Wang Xiao knew about the special ability, not only would he believe it, he had no doubts about it. The reason was simple. If Wang Xiao didn't have any special abilities, then when the plane crashed at a height of six or seven thousand meters, at such a high distance, Wang Xiao would not have been able to save himself. Furthermore, after Wang Xiao killed the shark, he was able to escape unscathed while being carried by the raging waves. This was not something that an ordinary person could do. Unless they had powerful special abilities, no one would be able to achieve such a feat.    

    

The firewood finally rose, and a raging fire appeared in front of them.    

    

Wang Xiao placed the outer clothes on the fireside shelf. Both of their outer clothes were still wet, so they had to be dried, or else, when the night came, wearing wet clothes would be very cold.    

    

Yang Lei also placed her clothes on the wooden shelf, she was wearing thin clothes. Only, when she placed the outer garment on the wooden shelf, Yang Lei's expression was a little unnatural. It was because her underwear was hanging on the wooden shelf like two big black grapefruit. How could she not be embarrassed?    

    

It's really big, Wang Xiao thought.    

    

Realizing that Wang Xiao's eyes were focused on her, Yang Lei pouted. "What are you looking at?"    

    

"What's wrong? Can't you look at it?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

"Just not." Yang Lei said angrily.    

    

Wang Xiao smiled slightly, he planned to barbeque the fish after the fire has weakened. The fire now was very strong, it was very easy to roast the fish. Another day of sunset. Tonight's sunset was very beautiful in the west. A giant red sun slowly descended from the sky above the western sea. Yang Lei sat beside Wang Xiao, roasting the warm fire, she rested his head on Wang Xiao's shoulder.    

    

The scenery by the sea was very beautiful. Last night, because they were too busy running for their lives, they didn't have the mood to watch the sunset, but now that they weren't busy running for their lives, they sat down together to watch the setting sun.    

    

"Wang Xiao, that scenery is so beautiful." Yang Lei said.    

    

"Yes." Wang Xiao said with a heavy heart.    

    

"You have something on your mind?" Yang Lei asked.    

    

Wang Xiao didn't want to answer, because even if he told Yang Lei, it wouldn't be of any use for his to do so in the Female Boss. Moreover, Yang Lei was just a normal person, there was no need to know so much.    

    

"Wang Xiao, I've discovered that you have truly changed. Ever since you left regarding the matter with Zhang Wei, I've felt that you have truly changed. If you have any hatred in your heart, and if you have any disagreements with me, you can bring it up and I will definitely change it." Leaning on Wang Xiao's shoulder, Yang Lei said guiltily.    

    

She really wanted to take back all of this, she really hoped that Wang Xiao could still be like before, talking and laughing with her, but she realised, Wang Xiao had truly changed. Furthermore, she felt very powerless towards Wang Xiao's changes. Although she really wanted Wang Xiao to return to the past, she had no choice.    

    

Although the current Wang Xiao looked to be more mature and steady, he was more fond of the old Wang Xiao who spent his days smiling mischievously, acting leisurely and without any ambition.    

    

Because the current Wang Xiao seemed to have drifted further and further away from her, as their relationship grew more and more distant.    

    

Yang Lei, you don't need to ask me anything. There are some things that you don't need to know, and you need to know more. This might not be a good thing for you. Wang Xiao said.    

    

"Fine, since you don't want to tell me, then I won't force you. But remember, I only have you in my heart. If you have any worries or difficulties in the future, as long as it is within my power, I will definitely help you." Yang Lei said in a gentle voice.    

    

She leaned on Wang Xiao's shoulder, and the fullest part of her body gently pressed on Wang Xiao's arm. They only saw that Yang Lei's face was a bit red, and it was unknown if it was because of the firelight, or because she was leaning on Wang Xiao's body, causing her to be infatuated, or because her face was flushed red. In short, the current Yang Lei was very charming.    

    

Wang Xiao slowly raised his hands. He wanted to use both hands to hold Yang Lei's face and then slowly kiss her sexy lips. And at this time, Yang Lei had also noticed Wang Xiao's actions, she had seen through Wang Xiao's intentions, and even made preparations, intending to welcome him and cooperate with him.    

    

But Yang Lei did not expect that Wang Xiao, who was originally slowly raising his hand, would actually gradually let it go. When Wang Xiao put his hands down, Yang Lei made a slight mistake, or it could be said that she was disappointed.    

    

To be honest, she was already prepared to cooperate with Wang Xiao, and had even thought about it thoroughly. If Wang Xiao really wanted it, she could pay with her own hands, and it could be considered as repaying Wang Xiao for saving her life. But, Wang Xiao actually gave up.    

    

It seemed that there was always a hurdle in Wang Xiao's heart.    

    

Actually, the reason why Wang Xiao gave up was not entirely because the life and death of the Female Boss was unknown. It was because he had always treated Yang Lei as a goddess and could not treat her like an ordinary beauty. His feelings for Yang Lei were unclear, and he couldn't explain it either. If it was only a physical need for him to protect Yang Lei, then in this crisis, he definitely would not go to such lengths to protect Yang Lei.    

    

After all, there were so many beauties in the world. If Wang Xiao only had physical needs, he could find countless beauties anytime. However, Yang Lei's face was turning redder and redder, as though he was drunk. Wang Xiao raised his head once again and closed his eyes. She believed that Wang Xiao wanted to get closer to his again, but she was willing.    

    

But Yang Lei did not expect Wang Xiao to only touch her forehead.    

    

"Your forehead is a little hot. Maybe you have a high fever." Wang Xiao said with concern.    

    

At this moment, Yang Lei felt even more embarrassed, and was ashamed. Because she thought Wang Xiao wanted to do that kind of thing to her, but she didn't expect Wang Xiao to only care about her.    

    

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling bad?" Wang Xiao asked in concern.    

    

"I'm just a bit dizzy." Yang Lei said.    

    

"You still have the nerve to say that? Since you feel so dizzy, why didn't you tell me?" Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

"I thought it was nothing." Yang Lei said.    

    

Although Wang Xiao's expression was very serious, and even had the intention to blame herself, Yang Lei did not have any objections. Instead, she was secretly happy, and thought that Wang Xiao was concerned about her.    

    

"Your forehead is already so hot, why are you still saying that it's alright?" Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

Yang Lei smiled as she looked at Wang Xiao, but did not speak.
