The Outside World

A big bonfire was roaring into the sky, illuminating the campsite in the dusk of night. The water was slowly floating down the river, allowing the calming sounds to set a tranquil atmosphere.

It was the final night that the youngsters and the snake-woman would be camping in the Magical Forest before all of them returned to the bustling city. Liquor and snacks had been found, and they spent their time comparing who had gotten the most beast cores, as well as who had gained the most progress in their cultivation.

Deng Wu was still having trouble breaking into the realm of the Master rank, but even so, he was not dispirited at all. Instead, he was playing around with Sha Yun, getting her drunk, before convincing her to dance around the bonfire together with him. Laughter rang out from everyone present as they enjoyed the sight of the beautiful Sha Yun slithering around as she danced along with the less-graceful Deng Wu, who had been drinking far too much.
