"Can we go this far?"
After walking about thirty meters with the sisters, Jiang Tingxia looked back at the campsite and could still see Li Zihang and Lu Bao packing up their tents. She felt a bit embarrassed. "Junior Brother Wan, are you planning for us to take care of this here? It's not very good if they see."
Zhou Ruoxi also looked awkward. It was truly uncomfortable to be seen by other men while using the restroom.
"Don't worry, they won't see you."
As he spoke, Wan Yunting untied his cloak, took it off, and walked to two trees. About a meter apart, he tied the cloak's straps to the two trees, creating a screen. "How about this? Is this okay?"
"Wow, Junior Brother Wan is so thoughtful."
Seeing him do this, Jiang Tingxia couldn't help but clap her hands happily. Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face also showed a gentle smile, and she nodded in agreement.
"Then you two go ahead, and bring the cloak back to me when you're done."
Wan Yunting waved to them and walked back with a smile.
"Thank you…"
Zhou Ruoxi couldn't help but say thank you. Jiang Tingxia looked at Wan Yunting's retreating back and laughed, "Senior Sister, Junior Brother Wan is really attentive. If only I could find a man as good as him for a boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruoxi gave her a side-eye with her beautiful eyes and tapped Jiang Tingxia's head with her jade hand. "You little girl, what are you always thinking about?"
"Hehe, Senior Sister, dare you say you aren't smitten with Junior Brother Wan?" Jiang Tingxia's fair and cute little face broke into a mischievous smile as she teased.
"I..."
Seeing this girl's mischievous, bright eyes staring at her as if she could see through her thoughts, Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face blushed slightly. She pushed her and said in annoyance, "Stop saying such useless things. Hurry up, I'll watch for you..."
"Hehe, I knew it..."
Jiang Tingxia said with a mischievous grin and turned to enter behind the cloak...
Zhou Ruoxi rolled her eyes, knowing that this girl was deliberately teasing her. But as she looked back at Wan Yunting returning to the campsite, she wondered if she really was developing feelings for him.
For a moment, Zhou Ruoxi's mind was filled with wild thoughts, and her pretty face gradually turned rosy with embarrassment. Suddenly snapping back to reality, she quickly patted her fair and rosy cheeks and couldn't help but stomp her little foot...
But then, Zhou Ruoxi suddenly thought of something. Her pretty face instantly froze, and a lot of sorrow appeared in her expression. Finally, she sighed softly in resignation...
Wan Yunting returned to the campsite and continued to boil water for everyone. Lu Bao and Chen Bin were packing up the tents. Then Wan Yunting called out to Tao Zifu in the distance, "Junior Brother Zifu, come help me."
Tao Zifu, who was packing tents over there, looked back at him, then reacted with an "en" and quickly came over to ask, "Senior Brother Wan, what do you need me to do?"
"Come, help me fill everyone's water bottles with hot water," Wan Yunting said to him with a smile.
"Okay."
Tao Zifu nodded and went to get the water bottles from Lu Bao and Chen Bin. The two of them melted snow to boil water and then filled everyone's water bottles. Wan Yunting then smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Ah, yes, very well."
Tao Zifu was surprised that he would ask, and his expression was a bit unnatural.
"That's good."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. Their hands didn't stop, and he continued with a smile, "But tonight, we might have to have everyone take turns keeping watch."
"Sure," Tao Zifu smiled and nodded.
"Oh, right."
Wan Yunting suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you still have power in your power bank? Could I borrow it?"
Tao Zifu's expression was stunned. After a pause, he shook his head and smiled, "No, Senior Brother Wan. I only brought one, and it's out of power too."
"Oh, okay, then that's fine," Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, saying nothing more.
Tao Zifu gave an awkward smile, and he naturally didn't try to start another conversation...
"Senior Sister Yingying, hurry up and get up, everyone else is already up."
Meanwhile, Li Zihang was standing by Duan Yingying's tent, calling out with a look of helplessness.
"Can you stop bothering me? What time is it? Can I sleep a little longer?" Duan Yingying's angry voice came from inside the tent.
Li Zihang sighed and patiently said, "Senior Sister Yingying, Junior Brother Wan said we need to enter the mountain punctually at seven o'clock. The sky is already light. Please get up."
"I'm not getting up, I'm not getting up! Li Zihang, get lost! Stop bothering me, or I'll teach you a lesson later." Duan Yingying cursed angrily.
"Alas..."
Seeing this, Li Zihang sighed helplessly and got up to return. Wan Yunting, who was sitting by the bonfire boiling water, also heard this. Seeing that Duan Yingying still hadn't gotten up, he couldn't help but frown.
"This girl, I'll go call her..."
Wu Weizi, who was sitting beside him, was about to get up to call Duan Yingying himself.
"Don't, Uncle-Master. Please sit. I'll go call her."
Wan Yunting immediately pressed his hands towards Wu Weizi, signaling Li Zihang to return and continue boiling water with Tao Zifu. He got up and walked over to Duan Yingying's tent and called out, "Duan Yingying, get up. We need to continue into the mountain at seven o'clock."
Hearing Wan Yunting's voice from inside the tent, Duan Yingying's big eyes immediately opened. She yelled angrily, "I'm not getting up! Can you stop bothering me? I haven't slept enough yet. Get lost! I don't want to hear dog barking."
These words made Wan Yunting's face turn grim. He said again, "I'm asking you one last time, are you getting up or not?"
Duan Yingying inside the tent instantly flew into a rage. She sat up and pulled open the zipper of the tent door, but she didn't come out. Her big eyes glared fiercely at Wan Yunting outside, shouting, "I, this young lady, am not getting up! What can you do to me?"
"You little girl..."
Wu Weizi, sitting there, wanted to get up, but Li Zihang stopped him, whispering, "Uncle-Master, please don't interfere. Let Junior Brother Wan handle it."
Looking at Duan Yingying sitting in the tent, glaring at him provocatively with her fierce eyes, Wan Yunting could no longer tolerate it. His temper flared up, "Little girl, do you really think I dare not teach you a lesson? Come out here..."
"Ah! What are you doing? Let go of me, get away!"
Duan Yingying screamed. Wan Yunting grabbed her arm with his big hand and forcibly dragged her out of the tent...
This caused Lu Bao, Chen Bin, Li Zihang, and Wu Weizi, who were packing tents, to turn their heads and look. However, they had no intention of stopping Wan Yunting.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia were returning with Wan Yunting's cloak, looking at Wan Yunting dragging Duan Yingying by the arm and heading towards the woods with confused expressions. They didn't know what he was going to do with Duan Yingying.
"Don't worry about it, Uncle-Master. Let Junior Brother Wan be the bad guy and teach the spoiled Senior Sister Yingying a lesson," Li Zihang said to Uncle-Master Wu Weizi with a bitter smile.
"Alas, this girl has been spoiled by us. Well, let Young Wan teach her a lesson." Wu Weizi also sighed.
After all, Duan Yingying was the daughter of Abbot Duan, and she was a late-born child. Therefore, everyone usually doted on this girl. They never expected her to grow up to be so willful and capricious, with a very bad temper. Sometimes, when Wu Weizi said a few more words, she would dare to talk back impatiently.
"You scoundrel, what are you doing? Let go of me..."
Duan Yingying was tightly grabbed by the forearm by Wan Yunting's big hand, and he dragged her into the woods without explanation. Duan Yingying struggled and screamed continuously, but she was not afraid at all now. She angrily cursed, "You bastard, let go of me, or I'll kill you..."
Wan Yunting's eyes widened. Seeing that this girl had formed her left hand into a palm and was channeling energy towards his head, Wan Yunting didn't hold back. He flicked his left hand sharply. Duan Yingying screamed, and the whole person was violently thrown out by Wan Yunting, falling to the snow beside her with a thud, in a face-plant position. She also got a mouthful of snow.
"Ptooey... You bastard, you, you actually dared to treat me like this..."
This made Duan Yingying completely enraged. She spat out the cold snow from her mouth, and her big eyes glared at Wan Yunting with hatred. She never expected this bastard to dare to grab and throw her down. This made Duan Yingying, who had never experienced such a thing, incredibly angry. She immediately lunged at Wan Yunting, shouting sternly, "I'll kill you..."
Wan Yunting's expression was blank. He dodged Duan Yingying's palm strike slightly and said coldly, "With your paltry skills, you want to kill me?"
"Ah..."
Duan Yingying came to her senses and was further angered by this scoundrel's mockery. At this moment, she was so furious that she lost all reason and rushed at Wan Yunting again, yelling, "You scoundrel, if you have the guts, don't dodge..."
"Heh, fine."
Wan Yunting sneered. This time, he didn't dodge. Duan Yingying used all her strength and slammed a palm at him. As a result, Wan Yunting grabbed her wrist as soon as he raised his hand. With a slight twist, Duan Yingying screamed, "Ah, you scoundrel, let go! It hurts..."
"It's supposed to hurt."
Wan Yunting didn't let go, still holding her right wrist and twisting it harder. Duan Yingying let out another miserable scream, "You scoundrel, stop! My hand is about to break, ah..."
"Will Senior Sister Yingying be okay?"
Jiang Tingxia, who was at the campsite, felt a little worried when she heard Duan Yingying's sharp screams.
"She should be alright. Junior Brother Wan knows what he's doing."
Zhou Ruoxi shook her head slightly, believing that the man was just trying to teach Duan Yingying a lesson and wouldn't go too far.
However, she still didn't understand Wan Yunting well enough. She saw him grab Duan Yingying's hands, then take out a cloth belt and tie Duan Yingying's hands to the trunk of a tree. This made Duan Yingying yell angrily, "You scoundrel, what are you doing? Let me go..."
"What am I doing? You'll find out soon enough."
Wan Yunting sneered and tied Duan Yingying's hands tightly to the tree trunk. It hurt so much that she screamed and cursed, "You bastard, you dog, let me go, or I will definitely kill you, ah..."
In the next second, Wan Yunting picked up a wooden stick as thick as a wrist from the ground and hit Duan Yingying fiercely on the backside...
"Ah... You scoundrel, you dare hit me... Stop it, it hurts so much..."
Sharp screams echoed through the woods, accompanied by Duan Yingying's miserable curses. She was truly driven mad. Since she was little, her parents had never dared to lay a finger on her.
But now, her hands were tied to a tree by a scoundrel, and he was hitting her butt with a wooden stick. At this moment, Duan Yingying was filled with shame and indignation to the extreme. She was so enraged that she lost all reason and yelled madly about killing Wan Yunting and his entire family...
