Chapter 27: A Loud Bang in the Dark Night

After the baptism of the Force, the animals underwent mutations. The fur of this white fox was as smooth as silk; not only was its color a beautiful pure white, but the texture was incredibly pleasant to the touch, and its warmth was exceptional.

Zhou Baijun immediately found it irresistible.

She handed the fox to a girl following her, stood up, and said to Wang Teng, "I didn't expect your spear technique to be so good. Thank you for stepping in just now. I'm not just saying this empty words—you can make one request of me."

She finished with a playful smile and added, "But, it can't be too excessive!"

It had to be said that while Zhou Baijun usually maintained a haughty demeanor, her making such a playful expression now possessed a certain contrasting charm.

She had likely discerned some of Wang Teng's true strength, causing her attitude toward him to do a complete 180-degree turn.

Heh, how sweet!

"No need, it was just a small favor!"

Wang Teng smiled. His indifferent expression made Li Rongcheng want to go crazy, his heart roaring

"Posturing!"

"Posturing!"

"The bastard is definitely just posturing!"

"Let's go!" Wang Teng turned to call out to Xu Jie and the others, leading the way toward the entrance of the hunting grounds.

He was bored with this place; the prey here couldn't even withstand a third of his spear technique's power.

Xu Jie did not hesitate. He gave Li Rongcheng the middle finger and followed in Wang Teng's footsteps.

Zhou Baijun's expression instantly soured.

Sun Gaoyan said to Zhou Baijun, "Sister Zhou, we're tired of playing, so we'll head back first. You guys enjoy yourselves."

Zhou Baijun was secretly annoyed that Wang Teng wouldn't give her face, but she couldn't show it, so she simply nodded with a calm expression.

"Wait for me!" Yu Hao was somewhat reluctant to part with his gun, but since he was the only one left, it wasn't much fun, so he hurriedly jogged to catch up.

The four of them returned to the entrance and returned the guns to the staff.

Many beach chairs were arranged by the open-air swimming pool, shaded by greenery, facing the shimmering mountain spring water.

Wang Teng and his group found four empty beach chairs and lay down.

They ate chilled fruit and snacks and drank beverages.

They admired the beauties in the water—tsk... how wonderful!

Xu Jie and Sun Gaoyan laughed so hard they sounded like quacking ducks.

Yu Hao couldn't help but steal a few glances, then, with a look of disdain, turned his head to gaze at Bai Wei with pure devotion.

"Being young is great; so much energy!" Wang Teng wore a pair of sunglasses, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, exhaling clouds of smoke with a look of weathered, worldly experience.

This guy is posturing again!

And posturing to thin air at that...

Xu Jie suddenly leaned over and asked mysteriously, "Brother Wang Teng, which one do you like?"

"Me?"

Xu Jie nodded.

Wang Teng scanned the area and said, "Is that even a question? Naturally, the ones with good figures."

"Shameless!"

The three said in unison.

Wang Teng laughed loudly. Just as he was looking toward the beauties, a sudden scene caused his eyes to narrow sharply.

He casually picked up a small pebble from the ground and flicked it with his finger.

*Swish!*

The pebble sliced through the air and ultimately struck a "wandering hand" that a young man in the pool was stealthily extending.

The force and accuracy were perfectly controlled!

Perfect!!

"Ah!"

The young man couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and that wandering hand retracted as if it had been pricked by a needle.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Wei turned her head and looked at the young man suspiciously.

"Oh, oh, it's nothing, nothing. It felt like something just bit my foot, gave me a fright." He inconspicuously moved his hand behind his back and gave a dry laugh.

Bai Wei ignored him and continued playing with her friends with small water guns—*pssh pssh pssh...*

The young man looked at the back of his hand, which was red and swollen; the pain made him gasp.

What just happened?

Full of confusion, he looked around, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

Wang Teng thought that with this lesson, the young man would restrain himself.

However, ten minutes later.

The guy stealthily approached Bai Wei's back again and extended his wandering hand once more.

Wang Teng's brow furrowed.

He wouldn't leave them alone!

He picked up a larger stone and flicked it again. The stone rushed toward the young man with a gust of wind.

This time, it wasn't aimed at the back of his hand, but directly at his groin.

*Clack!*

A crisp sound rang out.

"Awooo!" A painful howl followed immediately.

The earth-shattering howl startled everyone. The young man's entire face contorted, his hands clutching his lower half, his body bent like a shrimp.

"What happened?"

Everyone looked toward him, and some acquaintances stepped forward to ask.

He didn't dare make a scene, waving his hands repeatedly. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, nothing. It felt like something just bit me."

Hearing this familiar answer, Bai Wei looked at him suspiciously.

This man had stood behind her twice, and both times there were inexplicable strange cries about being bitten; she wasn't that stupid.

Sensing something, Bai Wei looked up, and her gaze happened to meet Wang Teng on the shore.

Wang Teng raised an eyebrow at her and made a gesture. Bai Wei understood instantly and immediately felt a sense of disgust toward the young man.

Disrupted by this commotion, she lost interest and climbed out of the water to join Wang Teng and the others.

She found an empty chair to sit in, sipping a drink and chatting with them, though she did not mention what had just happened.

Time passed quickly.

Before long, darkness fell, and everyone lit a bonfire.

Zhou Baijun had previously instructed that all the prey be cleaned.

Now, platters of fresh wild game were brought out. Those who knew how to grill began to show off their skills in front of the beauties.

Combined with fruits and vegetables, although everyone's mouths were greasy from the roasted meat, they didn't find it heavy.

Paired with beer, the atmosphere grew even more boisterous.

People gathered in small groups—some singing, some playing games, as if they were old friends.

Amidst the eating, drinking, and playing, time gradually slipped away.

Around nine o'clock, after a full day of play, everyone was tired and preparing to head home.

Zhou Baijun stood up and clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention, intending to say a few formal words.

Everyone was polite and looked at her quietly.

Zhou Baijun opened her mouth...

*Boom!*

A massive explosion suddenly erupted from the distant forest. Even from a distance, everyone felt the ground vibrate.

"What was that?"

Everyone was startled and looked toward the source of the sound, only to find nothing but pitch-black darkness.
