He looked down and saw that it was Bao Yu.
Bao Yu had finally moved from the wheat field to its owner's side. These short few dozen meters were too far for its stubby legs!
It wanted to seize every opportunity to get close to its master and not be driven away.
Bao Yu's fur began to fluff up, making it look very cute. It rubbed its little head against Bai Sheng's ankle.
Bai Sheng picked it up and affectionately nuzzled its little head with her chin, "I'm going to take a bath. Bao Yu, you and Heng Heng, stay away and don't peek!"
Bao Yu whimpered twice, indicating it wouldn't peek.
Without any bathing products like shower gel or shampoo, Bai Sheng could only make do. She soaked quietly in the pool, her body feeling incredibly refreshed.
After soaking for a while, when she raised her arm to scrub herself thoroughly, she was surprised to find that all the pores on her arm had opened.
Moreover, the fine pores were expelling a dark residue several times finer than hair, much like those absorbent masks used by girls in the present day. This spiritual spring water could actually "draw out" all the impurities from the skin.
Bai Sheng was overjoyed.
She immediately plunged into the spiritual spring pool, immersing her entire body, even her hair.
She distinctly felt a slight stinging sensation in the dark spots on her cheeks.
Only when she struggled to breathe did she gasp and poke her head out of the water for air.
After repeating this several times, she finally emerged from the water. Examining her skin closely, she saw that all the dirt had been washed away, and the dark spots on her cheeks had also faded slightly.
It seemed that restoring her beauty and a bombshell physique was just around the corner!
She truly adored this spiritual spring water!
Bai Sheng wiped the water from her face and accidentally glanced at Wu Yun, who was diligently munching on grass not far away.
She suddenly realized that she should dig another pool. These animals also needed to bathe regularly, and they absolutely could not share the same bath with her!
The thought of lice on Wu Yun was already terrifying.
When Bai Sheng emerged from the space, her hair was not yet completely dry, falling long and loose down her back.
Bathed in the soft moonlight, Lu Ye saw a hazy, gentle figure. "Bai Sheng, I... I want to take a bath too."
In the darkness, Bai Sheng could still see the starlike sparkle in Lu Ye's eyes. She smiled, "Okay, I was just about to take you in."
Lu Ye entered the space and saw that the wheat and corn planted just yesterday had grown very tall and were about to tassel. His heart was filled with amazement.
Bai Sheng explained the tasks of cutting bamboo, weaving a canopy, and building a swimming pool for livestock to Lu Ye. He was her man, and these physically demanding jobs should be his.
Lu Ye was surprisingly excited and very proactively agreed to these tasks.
Bai Sheng needed him!
Outside, the night wind brushed across the desert, and the soft moonlight diluted the darkness of the night.
Bai Sheng sat on a rock, using the natural wind to quickly dry her hair.
Suddenly, she heard Heng Heng exclaim in her mind, "Master! Quickly, people from Huangsha Village are coming this way with torches and weapons!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
As soon as Heng Heng finished speaking, Bai Sheng entered the space.
"Lu Ye!"
When Bai Sheng appeared by the bathing pool, Lu Ye had just emerged from the water, completely naked.
A scene of a handsome man emerging from a bath!
Bai Sheng felt her heart skip a beat. Her gaze involuntarily followed Lu Ye's Adam's apple, his chest muscles, his abs, and below his abdomen, scanning him unreservedly.
Lu Ye immediately covered himself with his hands, coughed lightly, and his voice rumbled from his throat, "What... what is it?"
Bai Sheng snapped back to attention, "Lu Ye, hurry outside! It seems many people have come from Huangsha Village!"
"What?!" Lu Ye, disregarding his embarrassment, quickly put on his clothes and vigorously shook the moisture from his hair.
Bai Sheng had a thought, and the two of them exited the space together.
Indeed, in the vast desert, scattered torchlights flickered with flames of various sizes, moving rapidly towards them. The clamorous shouts were getting closer and closer.
"It must be Zhang Yijin and Zhang Youliang causing trouble!" Bai Sheng said indignantly.
"Undoubtedly. However, there aren't many good people in Huangsha Village either. Otherwise, with just those two scoundrels, they wouldn't have been able to instigate so many people so easily," Lu Ye replied coldly, while quickly tying his hair into a bun. Fortunately, it was night, and they probably couldn't see that his hair was still wet.
Bai Sheng nodded, "They have more people. Lu Ye, can you handle them?"
"It's nothing. Even if the entire village comes, they won't be my match!" Lu Ye said, a slight smile playing on his lips, his face displaying calm confidence.
"Good! With your words, I'm not afraid anymore!" Bai Sheng also quickly tied up her hair, preparing for battle.
As the shouts grew louder, Du Min and Feng Pingyuan were also awakened. They immediately ran out from under the shelter and saw the approaching group of torches.
"Master, Mistress, what's going on?!" Feng Pingyuan asked urgently.
"Those two ruffians from Huangsha Village came looking for trouble this afternoon!" Bai Sheng said.
"Our family was expelled from Huangsha Village by its people," Lu Ye said with a cold smile.
Feng Pingyuan was stunned, seeming to understand something.
"Fight them!" Du Min shouted sternly.
The couple turned without hesitation, picked up the two wooden sticks they had pulled from the straw hut that day, and stood resolutely beside Lu Ye and Bai Sheng.
Lu Hua and Lu Yun also woke up. After understanding what was happening, they immediately picked up suitable stones from the rock pile and stood on the other side of Lu Ye and Bai Sheng.
Thus, six people, young and old, stood in a single line, heads held high, chests out, awaiting the approach of the people from Huangsha Village.
The nearly half-round moon could not dispel the darkness of the night, but the arrogant torchlight blazed across half the sky.
The people from Huangsha Village finally stopped with imposing momentum about five to six meters opposite the six individuals.
Bai Sheng estimated that there were about thirty to forty people on the other side.
Led by Zhang Jiawang, the son of Clan Leader Zhang, and Lu Jizu, the son of Clan Leader Lu. On the right stood Zhang Yijin and Zhang Youliang, along with their families; on the left were Granny Chen and her two daughters-in-law, as well as Lu Fengshou and Li Qiang, and others; behind them stood densely packed other Zhang or Lu clansmen.
These people were all armed with weapons, including shovels, hoes, sickles, and wooden clubs, clearly intending to seek "justice."
They were numerous and powerful, expecting the opposing few to tremble in fear at such a sight. To their surprise, Lu Ye and his slave wife showed no panic at all. Their faces wore a cool composure, their eyes filled with utter disdain, as if they hadn't even taken them seriously.
Even the unfamiliar man and woman standing beside them, despite being so thin that a gust of wind could blow them away, showed no fear on their faces.
Even the two young brats, Lu Hua and Lu Yun, exuded an imposing aura, their stones ready to be hurled at them at any moment.
This was quite different from what they had imagined when they set out.
Since their imposing presence hadn't intimidated the opposition, they had to resort to brute force.
Zhang Jiawang cleared his throat and shouted sternly, "Lu Ye, your family has been expelled from Huangsha Village. Originally, we were minding our own business. Why did you snatch the camels belonging to my clansmen Zhang Yijin and Zhang Youliang, and then injure them?"
Lu Ye sneered, "Zhang Jiawang, you live in the same village as them. Don't you know whether their family has camels? And you people!" Lu Ye's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the others, "Don't you know?!"
A flicker of unease crossed Zhang Jiawang's face. He turned to exchange glances with Lu Jizu, Zhang Yijin, and Zhang Youliang, and then blustered, "Of course we know. Their family just caught a wild camel from the desert a few days ago. Yesterday, the camel unfortunately escaped and passed through Hongshu Slope. You actually took possession of it! And you allowed the camel to kick and injure them!"
