After returning to the real world, Hao Shuai first went to the Night Shift World to relax for a few days. He also took a few tons of gold and had Fujisawa Ako's family help him get rid of it. Then, he used the money to have Jinguguji Narumi buy the hospital first, and then bought a villa so he wouldn't have to keep staying at the hospital.
After spending a few days in a haven of pleasure, Hao Shuai decided to find another world to continue practicing National Martial Arts. After some thought, he set his sights on the Wong Fei Hung World. After all, the Wong Fei Hung World was in the Late Qing Dynasty, a period of flourishing National Martial Arts, with many Grandmasters gathered. Especially with Wong Fei Hung, one of the Sages of Ten Thousand Realms, around, it would be relatively easy to become his disciple.
Moreover, the Wong Fei Hung World also had the stunningly beautiful Thirteenth Aunt.
The Thirteenth Aunt!
It's important to remember that Hao Shuai was planning to go to the Wong Fei Hung World from Jet Li's series, and the Thirteenth Aunt in that was played by Rosamund Kwan!
Just thinking about her divine beauty! And real-world women are often even more beautiful than actresses!
Therefore, this time when he went to the Wong Fei Hung World, Hao Shuai not only wanted to reach the Hua Jin realm in National Martial Arts, but also to steal the Thirteenth Aunt away!
It couldn't be called stealing her away. The reason the Thirteenth Aunt and Wong Fei Hung got together was because they went through a series of events together.
If he could intervene and prevent some things from happening or make them happen with him, the outcome would be hard to say.
Besides, Hao Shuai was actually doing a good deed. A nephew and his aunt being together would be controversial even in modern times, let alone in the Late Qing Dynasty. Even if it was consensual, it wouldn't be acceptable. Matters of human relations should not be taken lightly!
To protect Wong Fei Hung's reputation, Hao Shuai was determined to help.
When Hao Shuai's figure reappeared, he found himself on the deck of a ship, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue sea.
Hao Shuai was speechless. This kind of random teleportation without System arrangement was so unreliable. This time, he was lucky to have ended up on a ship. What if next time he was unlucky and ended up in the sea or a volcano? Even though he could fly, it would still be troublesome.
Hao Shuai looked around. It was a huge cruise ship. He was on the starboard side of the ship, and there was no one around. Hao Shuai went directly to the main deck and saw many white-skinned, blond-haired, high-nosed, deep-eyed foreign men and women talking in twos and threes.
From the conversations around him, Hao Shuai learned that this was a passenger ship sailing from London to Foshan. Most of the people on board were foreigners going to Foshan for business, and some were students returning from Britain.
As Hao Shuai was wandering around the ship gathering information, he saw two ruffian-like Englishmen on the deck ahead blocking a yellow-skinned woman in a European-style long dress, saying something to her. The yellow-skinned woman looked impatient and disgusted. Hao Shuai, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized the woman as the Thirteenth Aunt.
Unexpectedly.
He had searched for her thousands of times, and the Thirteenth Aunt was right before his eyes.
Hao Shuai had thought he would have to wait until he met Wong Fei Hung to meet the Thirteenth Aunt, but he didn't expect to meet her as soon as he transmigrated.
Fate is truly a strange thing. Even heaven wants him and the Thirteenth Aunt to be together now.
Hao Shuai walked straight up, put his arm around the Thirteenth Aunt's waist, and said to the two Englishmen, "Gentlemen, is there something you need from my girlfriend?"
"We just wanted to invite this lady for a drink," said one of the taller Englishmen.
"When my girlfriend has clearly refused, are you, as gentlemen of the British Empire, not ashamed to pester her like this?" Hao Shuai said sarcastically.
Perhaps it was the onlookers who made the two feel ashamed because they knew they were in the wrong, or perhaps Hao Shuai's well-dressed suit had a psychological deterrent effect. In the end, the two Englishmen slunk away.
After the two Englishmen left, Hao Shuai immediately removed his hand from the Thirteenth Aunt's waist and said to her, "I'm sorry for putting my arm around you without your permission in a moment of urgency. I'm truly sorry."
"It's I who should thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have known how to get away." Seeing that the person who helped her was also Chinese, the Thirteenth Aunt didn't dwell on Hao Shuai's action of embracing her.
The main reason Hao Shuai wasn't slapped was his face. If Hao Shuai had been ugly and dressed shabbily, the Thirteenth Aunt would have definitely slapped him.
After all, people with high yan zhi are generally liked and treated differently, just as beautiful women have always received preferential treatment everywhere.
Looks are justice!
This is an eternal truth!
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Hao Shuai, and I've just returned from Britain."
"My name is Zhang Shaoyun. I need to go find my father now. Thank you for your help." It seemed the Thirteenth Aunt was still quite wary.
After the Thirteenth Aunt left, Hao Shuai wandered around the deck again, found a seemingly wealthy Englishman, exchanged some cash for gold at half price, and then found the captain, who arranged a room for Hao Shuai.
The next day, Hao Shuai met the Thirteenth Aunt again in the restaurant. This time, she was accompanied by her father, Elder Zhang, an old man wearing a skullcap, a silk jacket and vest, with a queue behind him.
Hao Shuai invited the Thirteenth Aunt to sit at his table for dinner. She didn't refuse and sat down.
During the meal, through conversation, Hao Shuai learned that the Thirteenth Aunt and her father were returning to China to visit relatives and friends. Hao Shuai told the Thirteenth Aunt that he was returning to China to develop his career according to his parents' dying wishes and that he wanted to visit famous martial artists in Foshan, the hometown of martial arts.
When the Thirteenth Aunt learned that they were both heading to Foshan, she invited Hao Shuai to travel with them.
Hao Shuai was naturally overjoyed.
In the following days at sea, Hao Shuai would look for the Thirteenth Aunt to chat whenever he had free time, trying his best to make his presence felt and increase her favorability towards him. Undoubtedly, this approach was very effective. After all, Hao Shuai was already handsome, and after transmigrating through worlds, he had become a high-quality man with broad knowledge, good conversation skills, and immense wealth, which greatly increased the Thirteenth Aunt's affection for him. He also got to know her good friend, Joanna.
After half a month of sailing, the ship finally arrived in Foshan.
Upon entering Foshan, the Thirteenth Aunt's father became busy visiting relatives and friends everywhere. Especially since the Thirteenth Aunt was good at taking photos, Elder Zhang, who was concerned about his reputation, took her around to show off.
Hao Shuai, on the other hand, went directly to a gold shop to exchange a large amount of cash and deposit it into his spatial storage. Then, he wandered around the city.
Foshan in this era was no less prosperous than Yangcheng. Due to its thriving trade and handicrafts, it was known as one of the "Four Great Gathering Places of the World," alongside Beijing, Hankou, and Suzhou.
Looking at the bustling and noisy streets, Hao Shuai couldn't help but shake his head. Who knew that this seemingly prosperous Late Qing society would soon enter decades of war? Thinking that this ancient nation was about to fall into war and would rise from the ashes after countless hardships, Hao Shuai wished he could do something for this country. After all, "Qing Dynasty transmigration without rebellion, just drilling."
However, even if Hao Shuai could suppress everything with force and establish a dictatorship, thought is the most dangerous weapon in the world, and it cannot be banned.
Establish a democratic new society? Hao Shuai wasn't cut out for politics and would probably have no idea how he died.
Not wanting to stir up trouble, Hao Shuai decided to come and go silently. At most, he would find an opportunity to sponsor the great cause in the future.
Thirteenth Aunt's family had just arrived in Foshan and sent word to Wong Fei Hung, so that morning, Thirteenth Aunt told him Wong Fei Hung had arrived, and Elder Zhang had arranged to meet Wong Fei Hung at a teahouse.
Hao Shuai arrived at the teahouse early in the morning and saw it was packed with people. The younger folk were all there, curiously examining the foreigners' photographic contraptions, while the elders gathered together discussing their pet birds.
After walking around the teahouse, he found Wong Fei Hung hadn't arrived yet. Knowing he was early, Hao Shuai greeted Thirteenth Aunt and stood aside, watching her fiddle with her camera.
Just as Elder Zhang was proudly showing off Thirteenth Aunt's camera to people, shouts of "Master Wong!" came from the second-floor entrance.
Hao Shuai heard a familiar voice call out, "Hello, everyone!"
A man in a grey long gown, with clear features and an upright aura, walked in holding an umbrella. He greeted everyone with a smile and a cupped-hand salute. It was clear that Master Wong was highly respected by the people of Foshan.
The moment Master Wong entered, Hao Shuai recognized him. That eight or nine-tenths resemblance, combined with a Master surnamed Wong who had such popularity in Foshan, could only be one person.
That was – Foshan's Wong Fei Hung!
