save the bachelors

Chapter 5145-5148 [Arrival in London]

"University?! Pilot?!" Diana was somewhat confused.

“Universities are places where knowledge is taught, and only those with excellent grades and exceptional intelligence can get in,” Xiang Nan explained. “And pilots are people who fly airplanes in the sky.”

"Is that the thing you were sitting on earlier?" Diana asked curiously. "It looks like it would break easily."

"That's because it was hit by a bullet; it's not usually damaged," Xiang Nan explained. "We can ride it and fly in the sky. It's very fast, reaching speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour."

"You humans are quite intelligent," Diana exclaimed in surprise, noting that the Amazons couldn't fly.

"That's not all," Xiang Nan laughed. "We also invented the telegraph and telephone, allowing people to communicate even across tens of thousands of miles; we also invented refrigerators and air conditioners, so people can enjoy coolness in the sweltering summer; we also invented trains and automobiles, capable of carrying tens or thousands of tons; we also invented movies and radio, greatly enriching people's entertainment..."

"Wow, it sounds like your human world is quite interesting," Diana exclaimed in surprise.

She couldn't even imagine what Xiang Nan was talking about.

"After the war ends and peace returns, I'll show you around and let you experience it properly," Xiang Nan said with a smile.

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Diana nodded.

"Tell me about your island," Xiang Nan asked curiously. "I noticed that it's mostly women. How do you reproduce and thrive?"

“We were created by the gods,” Diana explained. “My mother shaped me from clay, and Zeus, the father of the gods, gave me life.”

"Wow, that sounds like a myth," Xiang Nan exclaimed in surprise. "It's completely different from how humans reproduce."

"You mean mating and reproduction?" Diana asked.

"Yes, you know?!" Xiang Nan was somewhat embarrassed.

“I know, I know everything,” Diana said frankly.

"Of course, I'm not just referring to these; there are other things as well," Xiang Nan quickly said.

"You mean physical pleasure?" Diana asked bluntly.

"You know about that too?" Xiang Nan was even more embarrassed.

“I have read the complete twelve-volume Kama Sutra written by Clio,” Diana explained.

Clio is the goddess of art and history in ancient Greek mythology. She is one of the nine Muses and also the daughter of Zeus.

"Twelve volumes?! Wow, do you carry one or two with you?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

“You won’t like watching this,” Diana said, waving her hand.

"Why?" Xiang Nan asked, puzzled.

"The book concludes that reproduction requires male involvement, but physical pleasure is entirely unnecessary," Diana explained.

“Wrong, completely wrong,” Xiang Nan immediately retorted.

Diana laughed.

……

Xiang Nan steered the sailboat forward.

According to his observation, they were currently located in the Mediterranean Sea, and it would take at least half a month to reach London, England.

Fortunately, they had plenty of fresh water and food, and just as they were approaching London, they happened to encounter a steamship that was heading to London, England.

Xiang Nan tied ropes to the hull of the cargo ship, using the ship's pull to move forward, which greatly increased their speed. As a result, they arrived in London, England in just fifteen days.

During those fifteen days, Xiang Nan and Diana spent most of their time chatting, except when they were resting. Xiang Nan told Diana about the history, culture, customs, and food of the human world. Diana also told many stories about the Amazons.

After spending half a month together, their relationship, while perhaps not extremely close, has certainly progressed rapidly. They went from complete strangers to relatively close friends.

"Welcome to London!" Upon arrival in London, Xiang Nan greeted Diana with a smile.

“This is London?! It’s really ugly,” Diana said, looking around London.

Its sky was gloomy, the air was polluted, and the water was filthy. It was completely different from Paradise Island, with its clear blue skies and fresh air.

“Yes, I completely agree.” Xiang Nan nodded. “Not everyone likes it.”

At the beginning of the 20th century, Britain had not yet implemented environmental protection laws or deindustrialized. As a result, towering chimneys were everywhere, emitting polluted smoke and dust, leading to severe smog and earning the city the nickname "Fog City."

It wasn't until the Great Smog of 1952, which killed more than 4,000 people, that Britain enacted the Clean Air Act to begin addressing the smog over London.

"Come on, let's go ashore." After bringing the boat to shore, Xiang Nan led Diana onto the dock.

……

After landing, Xiang Nan first called his assistant, Etta Candy, and then took Diana to Parliament.

He needed to hand over the notebook to his superior, Thomas Johnson, the head of the British intelligence agency.

"Good morning darling."

Wow, what a beauty!

"Hey beautiful, wanna grab a coffee?"

Along the way, Diana's beauty attracted many suitors.

"Gentlemen, please don't look around, thank you very much." Xiang Nan said, shielding Diana behind him to prevent her from being harassed by those lecherous men.

Diana, on the other hand, observed everything around her with curiosity, feeling that the human world was truly full of wonders.

Their clothing, architecture, mounts, food, and so on were completely different from those of the Amazons, which puzzled her but also made her feel very curious and interesting.

Just then, she saw a couple holding hands walking towards her.

"Why are they holding hands?" Diana asked curiously.

"That's because they're together," Xiang Nan explained.

Hearing him say that, Diana took Xiang Nan's hand.

"No, no, we're not together, it's not the same thing," Xiang Nan quickly broke free and said, "Come on, this way."

“To the battlefield!” Diana nodded.

"To be precise, the battlefield is behind us, but we need to move this way now," Xiang Nan said, waving his hand.

"Where are we going?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“I need to give this notebook to my boss,” Xiang Nan explained.

“Hey, hey, hey, we made a deal, Steve Trevor. I’ll let you leave Paradise Island, and you have to help me find Ares.” Upon hearing this, Diana grabbed Xiang Nan’s sleeve and said, “A promise is a promise, and it cannot be broken.”

“Of course, I have no intention of breaking my promise.” Xiang Nan nodded. “But please let me hand over the notes to my superiors first. Then I’ll buy you a train ticket and send you to the battlefield. Is that alright?”

“Okay,” Diana nodded. “Let’s go.”
