The day before their departure, Su Muqing took out a Qiankun storage bag, intending to give it to Su Cuiping and the others.
She was surprised to find that all the storage bags were filled with high-level spirit stones, and even some top-grade spirit stones! Su Muqing hugged the storage bags and kissed them several times. Luo Li was truly wonderful, she wondered how his advancement was going. She actually missed him quite a bit…
Su Muqing poured out all the spirit stones from the storage bags and stored them properly. Then, she packed a lot of food, daily necessities, and clothes for them. She also left them all the armor and weapons she had previously acquired from Chen Dahe.
She even exchanged food in the apocalypse mall for a large batch of modern weapons: handguns, submachine guns, grenades, and countless bullets. She told Leng Si Bu and the others not to be stingy with their ammunition and to practice their marksmanship until they were accurate, then teach others, striving to make everyone proficient as quickly as possible.
After ensuring they had sufficient security, Su Muqing and the four of them, including Lu Yuzhi, could leave with peace of mind. They looked forward to great surprises awaiting them in Huaxia City upon their return from searching for the medicine.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already spent half a month in the no-man's-land. By the evenings in early October, the temperature had dropped significantly. Su Muqing and the others set off again at night, heading towards the Land of Celestial Radiance.
Su Cuiping and Lin Rongrong's eyes were red as they watched their vehicle drive further and further away with the others. Only after they could no longer see it did everyone return to the tent area together.
Now that there were only four of them, Su Muqing switched to a more spacious off-road vehicle. Along the way, Leng Ren and Leng Feng took turns driving, while she and Lu Yuzhi sat in the back to catch up on sleep.
The two of them hadn't had a good rest for several days. Su Muqing had strongly insisted that Leng Ren and Leng Feng each get six to seven hours of sleep before setting off.
She was worried about traffic accidents if they didn't rest well! What if they fell off a cliff due to fatigue?
To avoid trouble, they drove at night and rode horses during the day. The four of them traveled day and night along the edges of the city. They even crossed a large river.
Finally, after five days of continuous travel, they reached the foot of the mountain range that lay at the border of Wanfeng Kingdom.
Once they crossed this mountain, they would enter the territory of Wanfeng Kingdom. Then, they would head to the port of Wanfeng Kingdom to catch a sea vessel to the Land of Celestial Radiance.
If they continued by water, they would have to detour around more than half of Wanfeng Kingdom and then change direction to continue their journey. However, they had very little experience traveling by water, and it would likely cause significant delays.
Spending such a long time on the vast and boundless sea was far too dangerous. Therefore, they ultimately decided to cross the mountain.
Tonight, they planned to rest well and start crossing the mountain at dawn. Su Muqing, in particular, had no skin left on the insides of her thighs from friction. Now, she walked like a penguin, wobbling precariously. Lu Yuzhi found it both heartbreaking and amusing.
They had originally suggested she ride in a carriage, but Su Muqing didn't want to slow everyone down, so she adamantly insisted on riding a horse with them.
Lu Yuzhi offered to ride with her, but Su Muqing felt she hadn't properly cleaned herself up these past few days and was dirty, possibly even emitting an odor. She thought that would be a significant turn-off, so she decisively refused.
The consequence of her refusal was that she had to suffer. The inner thighs were so raw that they couldn't be touched without a burning pain! So, after dismounting, Su Muqing directly conjured a large tent and then disappeared on the spot.
When they saw her disappear, Leng Ren and Leng Feng were not particularly alarmed. They unfurled the tent as usual and found a suitable spot to set it up proficiently.
Lu Yuzhi picked up a white object that had fallen to the ground when she dismounted. He looked at it from side to side; its shape was peculiar. He then squeezed it with his hand; it felt soft and quite pleasant! He wondered what it was used for.
Once inside the space, Su Muqing rushed into the small villa in the living area like a gust of wind. A little milk bun that had just crawled up and stood on the grass nearby was blown over by the wind she brought with her.
Feila happily hopped over to the little milk bun and nudged him repeatedly with its head. Soon after, it grabbed Feila’s ears and stood up, still shakily taking two steps forward.
Arriving at the bathroom, Su Muqing quickly took off her pants. Hmm? Where did the sanitary pad she used to cushion and prevent friction go? She picked up her pants and shook them, but it wasn't inside? Could it have fallen on the road?
Never mind!
She applied waterproof bandages to the insides of both her thighs and then began to happily wash her hair and take a bath. She could finally relax properly. Su Muqing felt like her bones were about to dislocate. She couldn't help but curse Bu Jie again in her heart.
That Bu Jie was truly wicked! Why design such difficult trials? The spiritual spring water could detoxify all poisons in the world, yet for Lu Yuzhi, who possessed the Righteous Soul, the spiritual spring water became ineffective after he was poisoned. They were forced to trek through mountains and rivers, overcome trials, and obtain it themselves!
Bu Jie, far away in another small world, sneezed violently, accidentally dislodging the wig on his head. Who had offended him? Why had people been scolding him so much lately? He quickly restored his hair manually. He considered himself a rising talent in the screenwriting industry; why wouldn't those people show him any respect!
After Su Muqing finished her bath and dried her hair, she carried the little milk bun and Feila out of the space. She saw the three of them gathered around, discussing something.
“What are you looking at?” Su Muqing squeezed in with the little milk bun in her arms.
When she saw the sanitary pad in Lu Yuzhi’s hand, she froze. Especially when she met his deep eyes, filled with curiosity about the unknown. Faced with such a massive social faux pas, Su Muqing wished she could be struck by lightning and die.
“You are not allowed to ask anything, nor are you allowed to say anything! Otherwise, there will be no dinner!” She quickly reached out, snatched the sanitary pad, shoved the little milk bun into Lu Yuzhi’s arms, her face flushed as red as a monkey's rear, and quickly retreated back into the space.
Watching her hasty departure, the three exchanged confused glances. What had happened? Why was Miss Su so flustered? Was that object just now some unspeakable secret?
However, all three of them were very sensible and asked nothing, said nothing. Otherwise, they might not have dinner!
After her face had calmed down and the atmosphere was no longer awkward, Su Muqing emerged from the space and returned to their sight. With a wave of her hand, two tubs of water appeared out of nowhere in the dark.
Leng Ren and Leng Feng erected a screen around the area, finally able to take a proper bath. There was even sweet strawberry-scented shower gel.
Seeing their actions, Feila guessed they were going to bathe and started barking incessantly at Su Muqing.
Su Muqing casually waved her hand, and with a “duang~” sound, Feila’s dog bathtub landed precisely in the middle of the screened area. It excitedly jumped onto Leng Ren, and then the two of them, along with the dog, began to soak in the bath.
I love to bathe, my skin feels so good, oh oh oh oh~ I wonder what’s for dinner tonight…
Actually, before they set off, Su Muqing had specifically designated an area within the space for the men. It was equipped with everything they needed for sleeping and washing. This way, whoever was tired on the road could rest there for a while.
But one day on the road, when Lu Yuzhi went in to bathe, Su Muqing discovered that she could see things without any pixelation. Although Big Brother Lu had a really good physique, was this something she could see without paying?
What was even more infuriating was that no matter what angle she adjusted it to, some scenes just wouldn't go away! Su Muqing wiped her continuously dripping nosebleed. She wasn't that kind of perverted voyeur. She was just too exhausted from the journey lately and was getting a bit overheated!
(217: You're not overheated, you're on fire!)
Later, Su Muqing strictly forbade them from bathing in the space. She was afraid she might accidentally glimpse something she shouldn't and go blind!
After Leng Ren and the others finished, it was Lu Yuzhi's turn. He took the little milk bun with him, carefully bathing the bun first. He dressed it and handed it over to Leng Ren and the others. Then, he took off his own clothes and sat down in the bathtub to soak.
Even though they were quite far apart, Su Muqing felt as though she could hear the sound of splashing water. She hadn't felt this way when Leng Ren and the others were bathing earlier. Traveling with people of the opposite sex could sometimes lead to unavoidable awkwardness.
Indeed, such kind and upright people should not do anything with a guilty conscience, or they would never forget it for a lifetime!
After Su Muqing had prepared the meal, Lu Yuzhi was also ready. Fortunately, they didn't have to travel at night today. She stir-fried a few small dishes, cooked a pot of rice, and brought out a bottle of good wine for the three of them, so they could eat and drink well.
