Lu Jingzhi put the basin on the table and hugged her tightly.
"Why did you take so long to come back?" Yan An murmured in his arms.
"Long?" Lu Jingzhi asked gently.
"Hmm~" Yan An responded softly.
The two men loosened their arms and faced each other. Lu Jingzhi said softly, "I'll go dry the clothes with my profound energy."
"Okay... let's go outside to look at the moon later." Yan An looked at him expectantly.
While Lu Jingzhi covered his clothes with Xuan Qi to warm them, he responded, "Madam, aren't you going to sleep?"
Yan An showed a playful smile, "I am in the Sky-stepping Realm, so I can go for a very... very long time without sleeping."
"Okay, wait for me for a moment." Lu Jingzhi replied with a smile.
"Okay." Yan An nodded obediently.
A few minutes later... Lu Jingzhi dried the clothes and brought them to the bed.
"Madam, put on your clothes and let's go out." He said gently.
Yan An pouted and said coquettishly, "I want you to help me put it on."
Lu Jingzhi smiled dotingly, "Okay." Then he carefully put clothes on her.
A rustling sound was heard in the room.
After Lu Jingzhi tied the corset, he took her hand and jumped out of the third-floor window neatly.
At this time, it was already late at night. There was no one on the street. It was pitch black and a little deserted.
"I want you to carry me."
Lu Jingzhi squatted down, and then... Yan An lay on his back.
He slowly stood up, holding her hips with both hands, "Madam, where are we going to see the moon?"
"It's all right. As long as you're here, it's all right."
His heart seemed to be filled with warmth, flowing slowly through it. "Okay, then let's go to the desert and build a small wooden tower with green vines. We can go and see where it is."
Yan An nodded and agreed happily.
An afterimage passed by like the wind, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. It soon walked out of the desert town and came to a barren desert.
Compared to the suffocating high temperatures and scorching heat during the day, the temperature in the desert drops sharply at night, and it is so cold that people can't help but shiver, as if they are going to be frozen to death.
The lotus mark on Lu Jingzhi's forehead began to emerge, and then he slowly squatted down and gently pressed his right hand into the desert.
In an instant, a bright green light emanated from his hand, like a dazzling gem.
However, a few seconds passed and no green sprouts were seen emerging from the sand.
"Huh? That's weird!" he muttered to himself in confusion.
Yan An squatted aside and said, "Maybe it's because the environment here is too harsh, so we need to increase the energy of the magnolia."
Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly, and then... he concentrated again and injected more energy into the desert.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a familiar force surging under the desert, as if hindering the power of Magnolia.
His face was full of surprise and his heart was full of doubts.
"How about it?"
"Master, why do I feel that there is a layer of energy under this desert?" Lu Jingzhi frowned and said in confusion.
"energy?"
Yan An, with curiosity and confusion, infiltrated the mysterious energy into it.
At the same time, vast mental power covered her like a tide. She closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling everything around her.
Suddenly, she realized that there seemed to be something unusual hidden under the desert.
After careful observation, I was surprised to find that a layer of light yellow energy was absorbing the water at an extremely slow speed.
"Madam, have you found any clues?" Lu Jingzhi asked with concern.
Yan An opened his eyes and nodded to him, "The water source in this desert did not dry up naturally, but was slowly sucked dry by a mysterious force."
Lu Jingzhi frowned, thought for a moment and decided to try it himself.
He pressed his hands on the sand, and a huge wood lotus slowly bloomed, with a diameter of dozens of meters.
The power of Magnolia was continuously released and penetrated into the layer of yellow energy.
However, what they didn't expect was that the seemingly fragile yellow energy easily blocked Lu Jingzhi's Magnolia power.
"How is this possible?" Lu Jingzhi looked shocked.
Yan An was also confused, but she did not give up.
He began to use the Phoenix Fire, infusing it into the desert, trying to break through this layer of energy.
However, despite the immense power of the Phoenix Fire, it was still unable to break through the mysterious yellow energy shield.
"Ah! It's so hot." Lu Jingzhi screamed in pain and jumped several feet.
Yan An flew up and caught him from the air. At this moment, the desert within a radius of 100 meters was scorched by the Phoenix Fire, and wisps of red flames emerged from the ground...
"Madam, did it work?"
"No, the person this energy is holding is probably much stronger than me. Even after so much time, I still can't break it."
"More importantly, the transformation of the Savage Ancient Land into its current state is definitely related to this energy."
"Master, are you saying that the ancient wilderness wasn't like this before?"
"Well, a few hundred years ago, I heard from my father that the Earth Lotus descended from the ancient land of the wilderness, and a great war broke out."
"Tulian?!"
"Master, could this energy be Earth Lotus?"
Yan An pondered for a long time... "Could this really be related to Tulian? But didn't Tulian get it from someone else?"
"My lady, are there any rankings of the elemental lotuses? Why is my wood lotus so weak compared to them?"
"As far as I know, there's no ranking of the Elemental Lotus' strength. As long as the person who obtains it is strong enough, the Elemental Lotus will also become stronger."
Lu Jingzhi showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "I see, my lady, shall we go back first?"
"Well, we have to go back. We can't just look at the moon in the desert."
Lu Jingzhi nodded, and suddenly, he realized, "Madam, you are sober."
Yan An's eyes rolled around, "Yeah, I was just woken up by the night wind."
"Okay, let's go back then."
Then, the two returned to their inn room in the desert town and closed the windows to prevent sand and dust from blowing in.
Yan An waved his hand and the candle on the table lit up.
Suddenly, Lu Jingzhi hugged her waist from behind, and the two of them were close to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
"Madam, I..."
"I know. I want to, too."
The two of them loosened their arms, sat down on the bed, and looked at each other.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, slowly reached out his hand, and gently caressed her skin.
Every touch was like an electric current that spread throughout my body.
His eyes gradually became hot and his breathing became more and more rapid.
When he touched a certain part of Yan An, her body trembled slightly and she let out a soft moan.
This soft hum was like a fire, igniting the flame in Lu Jingzhi's heart.
Lu Jingzhi stretched out his hands, hugged her tightly and kissed her lips.
