That evening during dinner, Ouyang Yu discussed the matter with Ouyang Xue.
"Sister, what's the boss's motive for hiring those two beautiful bodyguards?"
"I always feel like there's a story behind this."
Ouyang Xue replied solemnly, "It's best if we don't meddle in such matters!"
"Sister, do you think those two women are the boss's mistresses?"
"You..."
Ouyang Xue's face instantly turned red. "Xiao Yu, why have you become such a chatterbox!"
"When we were in China, you didn't talk this much. What's gotten into you now?"
Ouyang Yu chuckled. "I mainly feel that this whole thing is too unbelievable!"
"Sister, you always said Liu Kai Xuan was an excellent man before!"
"In my opinion, he's purely a scumbag!"
"Taking advantage of Zhao Feiyan's absence, he couldn't resist messing around with women!"
"Someone like this can never achieve great things!"
Ouyang Xue said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yu, stop overthinking!"
"The boss personally said that those two girls are full-time bodyguards he hired!"
"Since they are bodyguards, then..."
"Alright, alright!"
Ouyang Xue was interrupted by Ouyang Yu before she could finish.
"Sister, I say you're becoming more and more pedantic!"
"Liu Kai Xuan spun such an absurd excuse, and you believed him so easily!"
This time, even Ouyang Xue was left speechless by Ouyang Yu's retort.
What Ouyang Yu had said was not without reason.
The two women accompanying Liu Kai Xuan did not look like security personnel at all.
Not only were they beautiful, but their attire was also very sexy and fashionable.
Most importantly, the two women were almost sticking to Liu Kai Xuan's sides.
Their interactions were very intimate, almost excessively so.
Although Ouyang Yu was very resistant to Liu Kai Xuan hiring female bodyguards, she became particularly reserved this time.
She only complained and grumbled to Ouyang Xue.
She did not point this out in front of Liu Kai Xuan.
It wasn't that Ouyang Yu's personality had changed, but there was another reason.
The reason was that regardless of Liu Kai Xuan's character, he had treated Ouyang Yu quite well.
If it weren't for Liu Kai Xuan's decision, Ouyang Yu wouldn't have had this opportunity to break free.
Therefore, Ouyang Yu was intolerant of others' flaws.
However, she could tolerate some minor issues with Liu Kai Xuan.
In reality, the two young and beautiful female bodyguards accompanying Liu Kai Xuan were artificial intelligence androids that Liu Kai Xuan had redeemed from the system store.
The robots were covered in a layer of bio-skin, making them indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
As for the robots' appearance and gender, they were customized by Liu Kai Xuan.
Naturally, he would choose two beautiful women as his personal bodyguards.
Would it be normal to choose two burly men to follow him around every day?
These two robots would be far more useful than normal human bodyguards in life-or-death situations.
However, Liu Kai Xuan knew this best and didn't need to tell Ouyang Yu and the others.
After all preparations were made, Liu Kai Xuan led the delegation to the Kingdom of Kaiya.
Huolan City was about 1800 kilometers away from the royal capital of the Kaiya Empire.
The terrain was very complex, and according to Reina's estimation, it would take about a week to reach Great Kaiya City.
They would need to stop to resupply several times along the way, but all these tasks were handled and arranged by Thunder Security Company.
After the off-road vehicles left the city, they soon entered lush desert terrain.
Looking at the vast desert stretching beyond the car window, there was a sense of boundless sky and the freedom to soar.
The cars were not driving very fast due to the extremely poor road conditions.
Although there was a clearly visible road, it was just an ordinary gravel road.
It was not even basic concrete pavement, full of potholes and in terrible condition.
"The road conditions are too bad..."
Ouyang Xue couldn't help but complain, "We've only just left the capital region?"
The roads within the capital region were flat and smooth, with even plenty of pleasing green belts along the roadside.
But as soon as they left the capital region, it felt like a direct descent from heaven to hell.
Liu Kai Xuan replied, "There's nothing strange about this!"
"In an empire like Thunder, those in power often prioritize their own interests!"
"The capital region is where members of the royal family are often active, so the environment naturally won't be too bad!"
"Outside the capital region are areas where ordinary citizens are active!"
"Whether these places develop or not has little to do with the royal family and nobles!"
"They certainly have no interest in spending money on such irrelevant things!"
"Sigh..."
Ouyang Xue couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the situation here is not as optimistic as I imagined!"
"Alright, let's hurry up and take care of our own business!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "Taking care of our own matters is the most important thing for us right now!"
"Okay boss, I understand!" Ouyang Xue nodded repeatedly, indicating her understanding.
After all, the driver of the car was from Thunder Security Company.
These were employees of a company directly under the imperial family of the empire.
Discussing the Thunder Empire in front of them, especially with negative remarks, would surely displease them.
The affairs of the Thunder Empire were not Liu Kai Xuan's concern.
Liu Kai Xuan was at most a passerby in this place.
He was just passing through, so why create so much unnecessary trouble for himself?
The convoy drove through the desert for over ten hours, until late at night, arriving at a desolate desert town.
Reina informed everyone that they would stop and rest in this town.
After resting for 10 hours, they would continue their journey.
This desert town was called Saluo Town.
Saluo Town originated from the long-term gathering of temporary camps for desert caravans.
It was an important supply point in the desert, and Thunder Security Company also had a base in this town.
Reina directly led everyone into the base, as it was absolutely safe inside the security company's premises.
