Dreamlike Village

Nan Jue walked ahead and said calmly, "They basically have no defensive facilities here. If Sea Monster comes, they're probably doomed."

She couldn't be bothered to think about the issues between men and women here, and simply muttered a word about defensive measures.

Guan Yu said, "In my opinion, they might not be afraid of Sea Monster. Didn't you see the bounty posters on the slightly larger towns and cities we passed through earlier?"

Mo Fan's eyes lit up; he was quite interested in the bounty. However, they were in a hurry to get to Mexico, so he had to give up accepting the bounty.

After walking for a while, we passed through a small village and discovered that it was so beautiful it was breathtaking.

Here, bordering the sea, the land unfolds in a terraced, hilly pattern, allowing the charming little wooden and thatched huts to be nestled gracefully on the mountainside. A delicate white path winds its way up the mountain, flanked by fragrant, crimson herbs. The entire village is like a fairytale, beautiful and enchanting, with mountains, paths, the sea, flowers, and houses...

Jiang Shaoxu was overjoyed and was the first to suggest, "Shall we rest here?"

Ai Jiangtu frowned, then said, "But we only rested for a short while, didn't we?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Jue, a tomboy, glared fiercely at Ai Jiangtu. Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, and Mu Nujiao, who were also women, wholeheartedly agreed. From the light shining in their eyes, it was clear that this was a scene straight out of their dreams, where even the sky and clouds were more colorful than anywhere else!

Even Mu Ningxue, who always had a cold personality, showed signs of liking in her beautiful eyes...

Although Ai Jiangtu was a bit slow-witted, it didn't mean he was reckless. After seeing the girls' expressions, he agreed to rest there, and then everyone entered this Vanilla Village.

The bright pink herbs by the roadside emit a very delicate fragrance, which is not cloying even though they cover the whole mountain. Walking on this mountain path is refreshing and invigorating. It feels like if you walk a few more steps, you will see a little house made entirely of cream cake, strawberries and fruit.

"This is practically a dream village, I love it! I'll find my Mr. Right and bring him here to spend the rest of my life." Jiang Shaoxu said casually, but her fox-like eyes never left Tang Miao.

Just as the group was about to enter this Vanilla Village, they discovered a large fence on the village road, under which stood a small thatched pavilion, inside which was a woman adorned with ornaments from head to toe.

She glanced at the group of National Team, her gaze initially somewhat strange, whether she was wondering why there were Asians here, or something else entirely.

The woman smiled and asked, "Lost travelers, are you looking for lodging in this dreamy little village, or do you have some other plans...? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you already have female companions with you."

The woman wearing the ornament had a captivating smile, showing no sign of shyness towards strangers.

The woman's skin was dark, yet it shimmered with an alluring glow; it was clean, supple, and possessed a wild sensuality uncommon among Eastern women.

Zhao Manyan was delighted, after all, he loved messing around with women. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he immediately went up and started flirting with the woman wearing the ornament.

However, the other party didn't seem to care about him and told them in a very tactful way that Xiaozhai was holding a festival and that no tourists were welcome during the festival.

The girls all felt it was a great pity, and Jiang Shaoxu even said she was willing to wait until the end of the holiday, which shows how much she liked the place.

But Ai Jiangtu naturally wouldn't agree. After all, they had a mission to complete. If they were to linger in every beautiful place they saw along the way, what would they be doing in Venice, and what would they be doing in the National Prefecture Competition?

He can be lenient, but that doesn't mean he can meet all the players' demands!

In the end, everyone had no choice but to leave.

Zhao Manyan was still reluctant to part with her and teasing her, but she acted as if she wasn't interested in him, which hurt Zhao Manyan pride. He hadn't had sex in a long time, and he had finally found someone to satisfy his craving, but she just wouldn't give him the chance.

Of course, Zhao Manyan understood that this wasn't because his charm had diminished, but simply because he hadn't had enough time.

Ai Jiangtu had no intention of staying and turned to lead the way away. Since they couldn't enter, they needed to rest in a nearby town before dark, so they naturally wouldn't linger. Just after descending the mountain, Tang Miao said, "I'm very interested in the festivals here. You go first, I'll meet you in town tonight."

"Me too, me too!" Jiang Shaoxu immediately jumped out, determined to sneak up with Tang Miao.

Moreover, in her view, this was the scoundrel's hint to her.

The other girls were also interested in this place, but they weren't as rebellious as Tang Miao and her companion...

Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue had no choice but to tell Tang Miao and Jiang Shaoxu to "return to the team soon" before continuing on their way.

Seeing Tang Miao and the other person return, Zhao Manyan uttered a harsh threat. "Damn it, I can subdue that woman before dark!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the small pavilion.

Ai Jiangtu didn't say anything more about this, after all, it didn't make much difference whether two or three left.

The reason Tang Miao wanted to go back was, of course, because the bead had become glowing. Since there was something here that could replenish the bead's energy, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

While Zhao Manyan flirted with the woman, Tang Miao and Jiang Shaoxu seized the opportunity to slip up the hillside. With their cultivation levels, even if the woman guarding the small village entrance was a mage, they wouldn't be discovered.

Continuing to climb up the grassy slope covered with herbs, Tang Miao and Jiang Shaoxu had already spotted a village with relatively densely packed houses.

Along the way, Jiang Shaoxu kept looking around, as if she hadn't sneaked up. Although there were quite a few guarding mages here, their strength wasn't enough to detect her. So, it was as if she had come on vacation.

Jiang Shaoxu clung to Tang Miao and whispered, "There are quite a few mages guarding this place. The security is much better than the places we've been before. It seems to be a really good place."

"Stop fooling around," Tang Miao said, pushing Jiang Shaoxu away with a hint of resistance.

It wasn't that he disliked the little vixen's presence, it's just that he had more important things to do right now!
