The two of them, along with a dog, finally returned to the camp.
At first glance, they saw Lu Benwei leaning against a tree trunk, looking almost asleep and relaxed.
Beside him, there was a woman whose back view evoked various thoughts, kneeling half-bent and tapping his thigh.
On the ground,
empty wine cups and a wine jug were scattered.
The lingering aroma of the remaining wine seemed to suggest something had happened here just moments ago.
"Brother, you really know how to have a good time as a guard!" Huang Wujing said with a smile.
"Yeah, it was quite a blast," Yi Feng replied, his expression neutral but his gloomy eyes fixed on the nearly sleeping Lu Benwei.
He wanted to see how long this damn skull could float in front of him.
Huang Wujing shook his head, not knowing how Yi Feng managed to bring a woman to a place like this, but it wasn't his concern.
However, when he saw Yun Lang, he felt a slight joy in his heart.
He thought Yun Lang was in grave danger, but he hadn't expected him to return unharmed.
He approached Yun Lang and whispered, "Yun Lang, what exactly happened? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
"Respected leader, it was because of the sudden mist in the mountains that blocked all my senses and delayed me," Yun Lang answered with his head lowered. "This mist is unlike anything I've ever encountered before. It's quite extraordinary!"
"It's indeed extraordinary," Huang Wujing said with a serious expression.
"Oh, could it be that you have already figured out something, respected leader?" Yun Lang quickly asked.
"Not only have I figured out something, but it's coming for us," Huang Wujing said in a deep voice, then proceeded to tell Yun Lang about the encounter with the group of people from the Fire Element and the formation they encountered.
"Damn those people from the Fire Element, daring to plot against the respected leader," Yun Lang said angrily.
"The people from the Fire Element are already dead, so that doesn't matter anymore. But what troubles me is the Water Element that hasn't shown up," Huang Wujing sighed. "The Water Element's attacks are elusive, and their cultivation is slightly higher than mine. I can't rest easy with this threat. So, I have a task for you. When the mist in the mountains clears, quickly take Yi Feng and the others away from this place. Otherwise, if the Water Element comes looking for us, I'm afraid they might get caught in the crossfire."
Upon hearing this, Yun Lang's face revealed a meaningful expression as he said, "Respected leader, regarding the Water Element, I think you might be overly concerned."
"Hmph, what do you mean?" Huang Wujing asked sternly.
"Respected leader, why don't you go and take a look at who that woman tapping his thigh is?" Yun Lang said with a profound tone.
"That woman tapping his thigh?" Huang Wujing turned his head to glance at the woman whose back was facing him and replied in a deep voice, "What's so interesting about a woman? Just say it straight, I don't have the patience for your suspense."
"Believe me, Your Excellency, take a good look, and you will surely be amazed!" Yun Lang said meaningfully.
"Hmph!"
Huang Wujing's face showed anger. How could Yun Lang still tease him at a time like this?
However, seeing the mysterious expression on Yun Lang's face, curiosity got the better of him, and he approached to get a glimpse of the woman's appearance.
He saw her clearly.
Indeed, she was quite beautiful.
But beauty was just beauty. She was still just an ordinary woman. What's the big deal?
No, wait.
But in the next moment, it suddenly hit him, and he widened his eyes and looked again.
What is this?
Damn it!
Once Huang Wujing fully saw the woman's appearance, his previously angry expression turned into utter shock. He jumped up on the spot, cursing loudly.
Water Element.
This woman who was massaging her legs was actually a Water Element!
How was this possible?
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Huang Wujing's mind, causing a storm of astonishment and disbelief.
What's even more incredible was that the Water Element raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes filled with strong unwillingness, but then she buried her head again and continued massaging Yi Feng's legs.
What the hell was going on?
Huang Wujing was completely dumbfounded.
Was this still the same Water Element who made him restless day and night?
He took a quick step toward Yun Lang, grabbed him, and pulled him aside. With an anxious expression, he urgently asked, "Tell me, what the hell is going on? What happened? How could this be?"
Looking at Huang Wujing's urgent expression, Yun Lang forced a bitter smile.
He had long anticipated that Huang Wujing would react like this. After all, even he, the eyewitness, found it unbelievable when he recalled what had happened.
Then, under Huang Wujing's intense gaze, Yun Lang recounted everything that had happened in detail.
What?!
After listening, Huang Wujing gasped for breath.
With a casual wave of his hand, he had captured the Water Element, who had disappeared without a trace!
Not only Yun Lang, even he, as the ruler, had never heard of such a method. It was unheard of and unseen!
So, did this mean that this guard of Yi Feng's was a hidden super expert?
Then, who was this guy?
As they wondered, they heard Yi Feng's cursing nearby.
"You bastard, you bastard! I made you cheap, made you cheap."
Hearing the cursing, Huang Wujing and Yun Lang turned their heads to see an incredibly unbelievable scene...

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?
