Chu Qingxue’s face was flushed with shame, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng took the initiative to leave the tent, giving Chu Qingxue space to calm down alone.
At this moment, everyone had already entered their tents to rest, since they had to continue their journey the next day.
However, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t sleep. He lit a cigarette and walked silently into the distance.
As he walked, Ye Chenfeng left the area. Under the bright moonlight, a small lake sparkled, catching his eye.
He hadn’t expected a small lake to exist here, surrounded by lush aquatic plants—a rare treasure in the northwest.
Ye Chenfeng slowly walked towards the lake, but the next moment, he was completely stunned.
There was someone bathing in the lake, under a cloudless night sky, brightly illuminated by the moonlight,
He wondered who it could be?
Ye Chenfeng silently speculated.
Rubbing his eyes for a clearer view, he saw that the woman’s body was mostly submerged, only her beautiful face visible.
Recognizing her voice, Ye Chenfeng knew it was Ouyang Qingcheng.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Ouyang Qingcheng and couldn’t help asking, "Aren’t you cold bathing in there?"
It was already late autumn, and moreover, it was the middle of the night. The lake’s temperature must be very low, yet Ouyang Qingcheng was bathing in it.
So he said, "You keep bathing. I’ll go sleep first!"
Arriving at the tent area, Ye Chenfeng noticed that except for his tent, which was lit, all the other tents were pitch dark, especially Ouyang Qingcheng’s tent—Ye Chenfeng specifically glanced at it, and indeed there was no one inside.
"Hmm? Why is there someone talking?"
Approaching his own tent, Ye Chenfeng heard voices inside and couldn’t help being startled.
Opening the tent and peeking inside, Ye Chenfeng was shocked to find that there weren’t just Chu Qingxue inside, but actually three people.
However, Ye Chenfeng soon had the expression of someone seeing a ghost; he felt goosebumps all over.
Because, inside the tent, he saw Ouyang Qingcheng!
The three women looked at him curiously, unable to help asking, "Are we that scary? Look how frightened you are!"
Ye Chenfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Miss Ouyang, where had you been just now?"
"Me?" Ouyang Qingcheng pointed at herself, puzzled, then couldn’t help saying, "I’ve been in the tent all along, and then I came here with sister Qingfei. We’re both a bit scared of sleeping alone! Hey... where are you going?"
Suddenly seeing Ye Chenfeng turn to leave, Ouyang Qingcheng asked anxiously.
Ye Chenfeng did not go elsewhere but, with a guarded expression, returned to the small lake. However, there was no one in the lake now, as if Ye Chenfeng had encountered an illusory realm.
Ye Chenfeng was taken aback, considering two possibilities for the Ouyang Qingcheng he had seen in the lake: first, he had seen a ghost, and second, he had encountered a master of disguise like Chi Lian.
A sense of unease arose in Ye Chenfeng’s heart; could it be that an agent of the Sun God had come again?
However, soon, a fierce killing intent flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes. No matter who it was, anyone who hindered him from obtaining the Reincarnation Mirror must be eliminated!
Returning to the tent, Ye Chenfeng felt annoyed, as there were three women in the tent—how could he stay?
"What happened just now? Where did you go?" the three women couldn’t help asking.
"Nothing, just a natural call!"
"Right, should I go sleep in another tent?" Ye Chenfeng said, ready to leave.
Chu Qingfei and Ouyang Qingcheng said in unison.
Ye Chenfeng turned his head to look at them, "You aren’t... expecting me to stay here, are you?"
"Yes!" Chu Qingfei and Ouyang Qingcheng made pitiful faces.
"Brother, we are scared!" Chu Qingfei said with a smile.
"Then why don’t you just stay?" Chu Qingxue also spoke up.
She felt helpless, but if she let Ye Chenfeng stay in a tent alone, what if Ouyang Qingcheng and Chu Qingfei secretly followed him? Those two were not easy to handle.
