Countless golden specks appeared before my eyes, possessing a power greater than that absorbed by sunlight, and they surged wildly within my body.

He quickly circulated his spiritual power, condensing all the scattered light spots into his lower dantian, storing them up to the size of a raisin.

If it can be stored to the size of a jujube, it can be used to attack the middle dantian.

However, he has already cultivated for a long time today. If he continues to cultivate, he will not only fail to improve, but may even harm his health.

As the sun was about to set, he was planning to find a place to rest when he saw Bai Rou'er running towards him with heavy steps, carrying a black shoulder bag.

When she saw Zhang Fan, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickened her pace; "Great, I knew you were still here."

The handbag was opened, revealing a silver-white inner lining containing ice cubes, one-tenth of which had already melted.

Zhang Fan picked up a tree branch and ordered Bai Rou'er, "You can't watch when I'm spearing fish."

Bai Rou'er obediently turned around. Zhang Fan released spiritual power at his fingertips, and a group of stone rock fish swam out. He casually stabbed one of the fish through the skin, and the fish's tail swung out in an arc, reflecting the golden sunlight.

Bai Rou'er looked at Zhang Fan's taut arms as he moved, the veins bulging, full of male hormones, and she couldn't help but blush again.

"for you."

When Zhang Fan handed over the rock fish, Bai Rou'er finally snapped out of her daze and awkwardly turned her face away, saying, "Thank you."

Bai Rou'er placed the fish on the ice and was about to leave with her handbag slung over her shoulder.

She hadn't walked two steps when her foot stepped on something soft. She looked down and a piercing scream instantly tore through the air.

She stepped on the head of a snake, and the snake coiled its tail around her ankle. Terrified, she instinctively grabbed Zhang Fan's arm and cried out incoherently.

"Help! Help! Ahhh!"

Zhang Fan took a closer look and saw that the yellowish-brown snake had black stripes on its body. It was a common king snake, also known as the rat snake. Although it looked scary, it was non-venomous.

Zhang Fan bent down, grabbed the snake by its vital spot, and slammed it onto a rock. The snake immediately stopped struggling and was casually tossed aside by Zhang Fan.

Seeing the snake subdued, Bai Rou'er threw herself into Zhang Fan's arms and sobbed, "It was so scary, boohoo."

The sweet scent of Bai Rouren's perfume instantly filled Zhang Fan's nostrils. He could feel her softness against his chest, and a gentle breeze ruffled her long hair, making his nose itch.

The two remained in an embracing position.

She didn't know how long she had been crying. When Bai Rou'er looked up, she suddenly realized that the sun had already set and her vision had become blurry.

Her face was deathly pale, and her voice trembled: "It's getting dark, I... can I stay at your house for a while?"

“My home is far away, in Zhangjiapo. It takes three hours to walk there,” Zhang Fan said honestly.

"What?!" Bai Rou'er thought Zhang Fan was nearby, but she didn't expect him to be so far away. "Where are you staying tonight?"

"Just sleep on the ground."

Bai Rou'er's eyes widened in disbelief that someone would actually be sleeping in the wild.

It was already late, and she was too weak to walk. In the middle of nowhere, it was safer for her to stay with Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fansheng's fire was still burning when Bai Rou'er sat not far away, occasionally adding a couple of dry twigs to it.

"Awooo—"

A wolf's howl echoed through the valley.

Bai Rou'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hugged Zhang Fan again, her thin body trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Fan looked toward the gray wolf and saw dozens of pairs of green eyes approaching the direction of Zhangjiapo.

He frowned slightly. Unless under special circumstances, such as extreme hunger, they would not approach human territory.

He observed for a while and found that the gray wolf was only observing and had not entered the village, so the people in the village were relatively safe for the time being.

Bai Rou'er clung to Zhang Fan's arms, not daring to let go. She had never spent the night in the wild before and was trembling with fear. Only by staying in Zhang Fan's arms could she feel safe.

Zhang Fan, however, was not feeling well. He could clearly feel two soft, calloused hands accidentally touching Bai Rou'er's fair and tender skin, which was as delicate as freshly made tofu.

He froze, his mind racing, and images from adult films he used to watch flashed through his mind.

It would be strange if nothing happened between a lone man and a lone woman in the middle of nowhere.

Just as Zhang Fan was struggling with his inner turmoil, he heard a sweet snore coming from his arms. He looked down and saw that Bai Rou'er had fallen asleep without him noticing.

She slept peacefully, her eyes half-closed, her long eyelashes slightly closed, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if she were having some kind of beauty treatment.

Bai Rou'er felt someone touching her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Fan groping her all over, with a wicked smile on his face.

Enraged, she slapped him across the face: "You scoundrel!"

The hand was swung out, but instead of hitting Zhang Fan's face, it encountered a hard obstacle.

When Bai Rou'er opened her eyes, she saw that her hand had hit Zhang Fan's chest.

I was just dreaming.

It's still that kind of dream!

Bai Rou'er's cheeks instantly flushed.

Zhang Fan hadn't slept well last night, and the scent of women mixed with sweet perfume made him fall asleep without realizing it.

Under the bright moonlight, Bai Rou'er secretly sized up Zhang Fan.

It must be said that Zhang Fan is handsome, with a high nose bridge and features favored by the Creator. Unlike the pretty boys in the city, he has a healthy tan and is full of masculine charm.

Bai Rou'er felt her heart flutter for the first time with a man.

Thinking about the dream she had just had, her cheeks flushed again.

As dawn broke and Zhang Fan slowly awoke, the sky began to lighten.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Rou'er hurriedly look away.
