Lanling Wang took the meat that Yuxi had reheated, took a light bite, but immediately frowned.

"Pah, it's really hard to swallow." He muttered and put the meat back: "It's not fresh anymore."

Seeing this, Yuxi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily, "Then don't eat it."

Lanling Wang was not willing to give in and pressed on, "You can bake me another fresh one, right?"

Yuxi was a little annoyed by the question and blurted out: "Beep!"

Lanling Wang was obviously confused, and repeated in confusion: "Sun? What do you mean? Wait until the sun comes out before baking me?"

Yuxi took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and finally explained: "I'll bake it for you now, is that okay?"

After saying that, he hurriedly collected firewood, lit the fire, cut off a piece of fresh demon meat, carefully skewered it and began to roast it.

"This guy has a really weird personality." Yuxi thought to herself, "No wonder he has a complicated relationship with Hua Mulan and is known as her enemy."

He couldn't help but nag: "You have to change your temper, otherwise no one will like you in the future."

Lanling Wang didn't care and snorted coldly: "Humph, I have money, so am I afraid that no one likes me?"

Yuxi was a little surprised: "Rich? Aren't you living in poverty and relying on being a mercenary to make a living?"

Lanling Wang smiled proudly and pointed at his mask and soft armor: "This mask is worth 600 gold coins, this soft armor is 5 gold coins, and this dagger is 10 gold coins. It's all made of meteorite."

He smiled proudly and continued to show off: "Do you know how many mansions in Chang'an City I can buy with all these things?"

Yuxi asked helplessly: "Since you are so rich, why do you charge me for showing me the way and drawing a star map?"

Lanling Wang answered confidently: "Who would complain about having too much money?"

Yuxi sighed and compromised: "Okay, you are right. Then you have to do the job well after receiving the money. You can't just leave at will, right?"

Lanling Wang laughed complacently: "Hehehe, I said I would lead the way, but I didn't say I would definitely lead you there."

Yuxi was so angry that she was speechless and could only silently say "purification" in her heart to try to calm down.

He took a deep breath and tried to look calmer: "You're right, you'll definitely take us there if you're so nice, right?"

Lanling Wang suddenly became serious: "Who just said that I am more troublesome than girls?"

"Is this why you're deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Yuxi was speechless for a moment, lowered his head in embarrassment, and cursed himself in his heart for being so mean. He had no choice but to apologize: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Lanling Wang didn't seem to care, and just reminded him calmly: "Remember, don't compare me with girls. I hate this the most in my life."

Yuxi nodded quickly, secretly glad that Lanling Wang didn't seem to be really angry. This time, he didn't find fault with the barbecue, which made Yuxi feel relieved.

At this time, Jialuo had taken a book and sat aside to read quietly. Yuxi came over curiously and asked, "Jialuo, it's so dark, can you read clearly?"

Jia Luo didn't even raise his head and just said to himself: "Out of sight, out of mind."

Yuxi was surprised: "What are you talking about?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Jialuo raised her head and looked at him.

"I asked, it's so dark, can you see clearly?"

"You can see clearly that this is a book on medicinal materials with pictures on it."

"Oh."

As she spoke, Yuxi sat down next to Jialuo, but Jialuo looked at Yuxi strangely and moved her seat.

"Uh…"

Yuxi sighed and thought to herself: "It seems that I have been misunderstood again. Forget it, I am too lazy to explain it."

Lanling Wang sat by the fire and observed the interaction between the two, with a slight smile on his face.

He stood up and said, "You have all rested. Let's continue our journey tomorrow."

Jialuo and Yuxi both nodded in agreement. Yuxi even found a corner to lie down and soon fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

At dawn, the three of them set out on their journey again. After several hours, they finally arrived at noon.

Before our eyes is an endless desert with rolling sand dunes, but in this desolate place, we unexpectedly discovered a clear green spring.

For seven days, they survived only on the meager water in their food.

At this moment, seeing the water source, the three people's eyes were flashing with excitement.

Jia Luo was the first to shout: "It's water!"

Yuxi said with a hint of disbelief, "This shouldn't be an illusion..."

Lanling Wang was more certain: "It is indeed water~"

They rushed to drink the water, but Lanling Wang's eyes suddenly became solemn.

He glanced over to the side of the sand dune and saw Li Bai holding a beautiful woman in his arms, digging a hole in the sand with dozens of swords.

This scene felt very strange to them, so they all stopped drinking water and observed Li Bai's actions curiously.

After digging the pit, Li Bai gently placed the woman into the pit and buried her with sand.

Yuxi and Jialuo looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable sadness in their hearts: "So he's dead..."

Lanling Wang angrily accused: "Burying a body near a water source is really unlucky!"

"What are you doing? Why are you burying someone here?"

Li Bai responded indifferently: "I'm in a bad mood, don't provoke me." His haggardness and indifference made Lanling Wang furious.

"Bury the person farther away! Don't bury him here!" Lanling Wang ordered.

"This is a source of water in the desert! Do you understand?"

Li Bai responded calmly: "It is already far away from the water source."

Yuxi tried to understand Li Bai's motives: "You must have a reason for burying him here, right?"

Li Bai said in a deep voice: "This is her native country. She said she must be buried here."

Yuxi asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

Li Bai gazed at the new grave on the sand dune with deep affection: "She is the princess of Loulan."

Jia Luo suddenly realized: "So this is the old site of Loulan. So this water must be Crescent Moon Lake."

Li Bai nodded to confirm: "Yes. This originally belonged to her."

Lanling Wang asked bluntly: "Is her name written on it?"

Seeing this, Yuxi hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Lanling King! Stop arguing!"

When Li Bai heard Yuxi's words, he unexpectedly looked at Lanling Wang and asked, "Are you the one from Jinting Kingdom?"

"The princess told me everything the empress did yesterday."

Yuxi's heart moved: "If that's the case... Li Bai, you already know the situation in the Western Regions, right?"

Li Bai's eyes were firm: "I know. I will go to confront the empress face to face!" His words were full of determination and hostility.

Yuxi was secretly shocked: "Why do I feel like you are going to kill the king..."

At this moment, Li Bai had already taken out his gourd of wine and poured it on the yellow sand.

Then he leaped into the air, stepped on his sword, and said goodbye to them: "You are all very good. We hope to meet again if we are lucky!"

As his words fell, he flew away on his sword like a meteor and disappeared into the vast desert.
