...However, Mo Fan didn't even consider the two of them a threat and completely ignored them.
Watching Luo Song and the other two bickering, Song Xia interrupted them, saying, "Since nothing's wrong, let's leave quickly and find a place to camp and rest."
Although the Imperial Capital Academy wasn't exactly harmonious, they at least didn't openly argue like this!
All this bickering was just making them a laughingstock, wasn't it?
"Yeah, I reek."
"I feel a bit dizzy, probably from using too much magic power."
"..."
After Song Xia spoke, Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue immediately agreed.
When they entered the tunnel, they were all walking with their chests out and heads held high, looking confident. When they left, they were exhausted and covered in dirt. Fortunately, Tang Miao had frozen the walls on both sides in time, so there was no damage.
Even Tang Miao was a bit disheveled... It was indeed different entering demon territory with Xuan Snake compared to without. After finding a place near the railway with a water source, they first specifically checked if there were any demons residing nearby before setting up their tents to rest.
As night fell, the men sat on the ground around the bonfire, the firelight reflecting on their young faces. The night was quiet, with only the crackling sound of the flames. Suddenly, Zhao Manyan broke the silence, saying, "Are you sure they're bathing by the stream?"
"Yes, Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue are both there..."
A strong wave of hormones instantly transformed into a peculiar aura that enveloped everyone. Some swallowed, some licked their dry lips, and some couldn't help but look in the direction of the stream.
"Peng Liang, why don't we send you to take a look? With your Shadow Element abilities, they probably won't notice you."
"Uh, that's not a good idea," Peng Liang said, a bit shyly.
While he said it wasn't a good idea, Peng Liang's body was very honest. He transformed into a black shadow and silently merged into the shadows of the forest.
After Peng Liang left, everyone realized that Tang Miao was no longer there!?
"Damn, where did Tang Miao go?"
"Did any of you see him?"
"He seemed to disappear after the goddesses went to bathe?"
"..."
The few of them discussed for a moment, then simultaneously exclaimed, "Holy crap! What a beast!"
Everyone felt that Tang Miao must have snuck off early... Mo Fan was also planning to secretly go and witness the 'benefits' when he heard their discussion, and he suddenly felt a bit 'cuckolded'?
But just as he was about to leave, he heard someone say, "Huh, why is that patch of forest frozen?"
"Peng Liang must have been discovered, hahahaha! That idiot, our captain's Ice Domain isn't just for show. Any magic fluctuations within a certain range will be detected. Peng Liang is in trouble!" Xu Dalong burst out laughing...
Outside the forest, the sky was exceptionally clear, and the moonlight shone brightly into the forest. The tree shadows swayed, and the stream glinted.
Nearby, some fragrant clothes were placed, varying in color and fashionable styles, some sheer, some lace, some tight, some soft...
Under the moonlight, in the stream, the fairy-like goddesses, like night spirits, were enjoying themselves in the water, their dark hair flowing... They were incredibly beautiful.
The occasional bursts of laughter made this quiet forest even more enchanting. The stream was crystal clear and flowed gently,
and though it was a bit chilly, it was exceptionally comfortable.
On a large tree not far away, Tang Miao had been sitting there for a long time. No one knew what he was doing.
When he sensed Peng Liang's presence, he deliberately threw a small stone where Peng Liang appeared, creating a tiny disturbance. Then, he left.
"You're asking for trouble!"
At the same time, a cold voice rang out in the forest, and then a black shadow was seen darting away at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah!! Ah!!"
Zhao Mingyue, Bai Tingting, Mu Nujiao, Jingjing, and the other girls reacted, hurriedly submerging themselves in the stream, their wide, panicked eyes scanning their surroundings.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Song Xia, who was guarding on the bank, quickly ran over and asked, puzzled.
"It seems like someone was here."
"There's a Shadow Element energy fluctuation!"
"Who has the Shadow Element?"
"Peng Liang, it must be Peng Liang!!"
...The male students from Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy were still chatting around the bonfire, recounting past experiences, or to put it bluntly, bragging.
But not long after, the girls appeared, their faces cold, their eyes seemingly able to penetrate everyone's hearts.
"Who was it just now!" Song Xia was also domineering, directly pointing at the group of men and angrily demanding.
At this moment, everyone was here except Tang Miao. Mo Fan hadn't gone because of the remnant soul he received earlier, which made him miss the beautiful scene...
"Who else could it be? There's only one person in our team with Shadow Element abilities..." Jingjing glared angrily at Peng Liang.
Peng Liang's face turned pale. He quickly stood up and explained, "I didn't! I just went into the woods, and before I even reached the stream, I was hit by something, and then you all discovered me. I really didn't see anything."
"Peng Liang, I never thought you'd be this kind of person. I feel a bit ashamed to be your classmate," Zhao Manyan coughed dryly and said righteously.
"Zhao Manyan, you..." Peng Liang suddenly felt like he had been sold out.
Just a moment ago, every man here had egged him on to feast his eyes, but when the girls started questioning, every single one of them pretended to be a gentleman!
"Forget it, Song Xia was guarding all along, he probably just lingered nearby."
"Hmph, shameless!"
"A beast in human clothing."
"Hypocrite!!"
The girls angrily accused Peng Liang, who was taking the blame, while the men around the bonfire nodded frantically, determined to sell Peng Liang out completely.
As the girls were scolding him, Tang Miao walked out from the woods behind them.
Upon seeing Tang Miao appear, both men and women looked over.
Tang Miao said solemnly, "Why are you all looking at me? Haven't you seen a handsome man before?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Jingjing looked at Tang Miao with some embarrassment and anger, saying, "Where did you go just now!"
Before Peng Liang was discovered, they had all sensed movement not far away, but the other party was too fast, so they didn't find anything... Tang Miao's expression was calm, and he shrugged, saying, "Stargazing, of course. It's rare to be out in the wild, and such a beautiful starry sky isn't common in the Magic City."
The few of them looked up and found that the starry sky here was indeed beautiful.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Tang Miao, the girls could only return to their tents, huffing and puffing.
As for Peng Liang, he felt like Dou E at this moment...
After the girls dispersed, Zhao Manyan scurried over with a sly look, whispering, "How was it? Whose figure was the best?"
Tang Miao heard this, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly as he said, "Guess~"
