After a Great Harvest, How Could He Skip Destroying the Evidence...

After stripping the two Martial Warriors of everything they had, Wang Teng turned to leave.

He had been out for quite a while. If he did not go back soon, Xu Jie and the others would probably come looking for him.

If they saw what had happened here...

Wait!

Wang Teng could not help frowning.

He had taken all the belongings from the two Martial Warriors. If someone came to investigate, would it not be easy to trace it back to him?

Destroy the corpses and erase the evidence?

It seemed that was the only way.

Wang Teng put the two bodies into a Deep Pit and activated the Fire Source Power within him. A wisp of flame emerged from his fingertip.

"You dug this Deep Pit yourselves. Now it is just right for you."

"Cremation is popular these days. It is environmentally friendly and does not waste land. How did that poem go... Right, 'Turned to spring mud, it nurtures flowers still!'"

"Even after death, you can contribute something to this forest. It could not be more wonderful."

Wang Teng muttered a few lines, then looked at the Martial Warrior who had wanted to kill him earlier and said with a complicated expression,

"Although you wanted to kill me, I did not die. And I even accidentally beat you to death. Consider those lighters and cigarettes compensation for emotional distress. I am giving you a free cremation now, after all. I am still a good person."

With a flick of his index finger, the flame flew out and landed on the bodies.

Ignite!

The blazing fire roared.

With Primal Force as fuel, the flames burned especially fiercely.

Before long, the two bodies had turned to ash, leaving not even a speck behind.

Without bodies, no one would know exactly what had happened here tonight. Even if someone found out Wang Teng had been here, they definitely would not be able to discover what he had taken.

Perfect!

"Time to head back!"

"But why were those two fighting in the wild in the middle of the night? Was it that fun?"

Wang Teng was somewhat puzzled. He swept his gaze around but found nothing, then shook his head. It seemed he had been overthinking it.

So he decided to return.

He took one step, then drew it back.

Wang Teng looked at the large tree the Fire Element Martial Artist had been leaning against earlier. Something about it felt strange.

He walked beneath the tree and looked up.

But the leaves blocked his view, and he could not see anything clearly. He could only leap lightly onto the tree and sweep his eyes over it.

"Hmm?"

His gaze abruptly stopped.

A Backpack!

Wang Teng jumped over, took the Backpack down from the branch, and unzipped it. It was stuffed full of weeds, and wrapped within the weeds was an... Egg!

Were they fighting over this Egg? Wang Teng thought, stroking his chin.

But the dead could not testify, and there was no point dwelling on it. This Egg belonged to him now.

"Wang Teng has been gone for over half an hour. Why has he not come back yet?"

After waiting so long, those Rich Second Generation and officials' children had already grown impatient, all looking somewhat displeased.

"No one asked you to wait. If you want to leave, then leave. Why are you yammering away here?" Xu Jie said with a frown.

"You cannot put it that way. We waited here because we were worried about Wang Teng. But from Wang Teng's perspective, making so many of us wait for him is a little unreasonable. If he could not find anything, he should have come back earlier. Why insist on showing off?" Li Rongcheng said.

"Exactly. Advanced Martial Apprentice? I think he probably gave himself that title," a young man said disdainfully.

The others were about to chime in when a voice suddenly came from the woods.

"I do not recall ever saying I was an Advanced Martial Apprentice. So where does this claim of self-proclamation come from?"

The young man's expression immediately stiffened.

Wang Teng glanced at him indifferently, then smiled at everyone.

"Sorry for making everyone wait so long. I suddenly remembered that I have no sense of direction, and I accidentally got lost just now."

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A person with no sense of direction dared to enter the woods alone at night.

Investigate? Investigate my ass!

"Young Master Li, be careful talking behind people's backs. You might turn into a long-tongued gossip," Wang Teng said again, looking at Li Rongcheng with a half-smile.

Li Rongcheng felt somewhat guilty beneath his gaze. He snorted and turned his face away.

Zhou Baiyun did not quite believe Wang Teng's nonsense. She walked over and asked, "Young Master Wang, did you not find anything?"

"No. I wandered around nearby several times and barely managed to find my way back, but I did not discover anything," Wang Teng said, shaking his head.

Zhou Baiyun gave him a meaningful look. "In that case, let us head back. It is getting late."

Naturally, no one objected.

They went to the Mountain Villa to retrieve their cars, then bid each other farewell and left.

It had to be mentioned that Li Rongcheng had caught the most prey.

Because Wang Teng had left early, Li Rongcheng narrowly took first place.

He really did receive a so-called mysterious gift: a True Person doll Zhou Baiyun had brought back from abroad...

Female!

Li Rongcheng's expression at the time was simply beyond description.

Wang Teng's and Xu Jie's cars drove into East Sea City, one after the other.

At an intersection, while waiting at a red light, Xu Jie rolled down his window and shouted to Wang Teng, "Brother Wang Teng, we will head back first, then. I will leave Xiao Wei to you. Please take her home."

"Go on. Send a WeChat message once you get home," Wang Teng said, waving his hand.

The two parted ways at the intersection.

Wang Teng took Bai Wei home. Her family lived in another villa district called Jinhua.

East Sea City had many wealthy people, so there were naturally plenty of similar villa districts.

Bai Wei stood at the entrance of a villa, standing on tiptoe as she waved. "Brother Wang Teng, hurry home. Be careful on the road."

"I am leaving, then. Go to bed early. Staying up too late makes you age faster," Wang Teng said with a smile before driving away.

"You are the one getting old," Bai Wei muttered, puffing out her cheeks.

Wang Teng drove very quickly. At this moment, he only wanted to get home as soon as possible, take stock of tonight's gains, and study them.

The Backpack containing the mysterious Egg, the Fire Element Martial Artist's battle sword, and the other scattered items had all been hidden in the trunk beforehand.

Earlier, Wang Teng had rushed back to the Mountain Villa at top speed. Only after hiding everything had he gone back to meet up with Zhou Baiyun and the others.

Otherwise, there would have been no way to explain the sudden appearance of all those things.

Fortunately, the wound the Fire Element Martial Artist had inflicted when he broke through to become a Martial Warrior had healed completely. Otherwise, that would have been another problem he could not explain.

He took off his bloodstained, damaged clothes and put on a similarly colored set. Combined with the darkness of night, no one noticed that he had changed clothes.

In such haste, this was all he could do.

Some explanations could not withstand scrutiny. Zhou Baiyun had probably noticed something, but without any evidence, she could only stop at speculation.

As Wang Teng drove, he reviewed everything he had done earlier. Only after confirming there were no major problems did he relax somewhat.

Eggy!

This made it feel like he had been stealing!

He shook his head.

There were few cars on the road at night. Wang Teng rested his left elbow on the car window, propped up his head, and drove one-handed like an old hand.

The car passed through a commercial street, and the corner of his eye swept over the bustling night scene outside.

It was already past ten, yet the street was still crowded.

People laughed and played.

Boys and girls held hands, staying out all night.

How wonderful!

"Ordinary people's lives are not so bad either!" Wang Teng thought. Then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
