Awaiting

Ten days later, the rays of sunlight shone across the land. People had their clothes fully drenched in sweat after simply being out in the sun for a while.

The empress, Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, Qing Ping, Gong Zheng, Ren Baqian, and many of the winged cavalry warriors were waiting in a forest at a hillside.

"It's too hot! It's always either pouring or scorching!" Ren Baqian groaned while enjoying the coolness of the forest shade. They had finally made it ahead of the rebel forces after hustling for ten days.

Even though Ren Baqian had returned to Earth twice during these ten days, the sun had almost made him shed a layer of skin! Just after entering the forest, he crashed into the ground and didn't get up no matter what the others said.

"You've got to train up your body, Sir Ren!" Xi Wanya said faintly.

Besides Xi Wanya, nobody else was affected by this.
