The bemused Pei Yan casually broke off the vines almost intertwined with him, and with Hu Jiu, he stumbled out of the cave like a wild man just freed from a forest, covered in twigs and leaves.
Outside the cave awaited Long Jin and Golden Phoenix Feather, who had been there for quite some time. Seeing the duo in such a state, Long Jin managed to keep her composure, while the childlike Golden Phoenix Feather burst into laughter at their appearance. Witnessing Pei Yan's awkward expression, Long Jin gave her little junior sister a stern look before smiling and leading the two out of the canyon.
Back at the Dragon Palace, after being pampered by the attendants with a relaxing hot bath and changing into fresh clothes from his storage ring, Pei Yan felt rejuvenated and invigorated. Despite his hair still being damp, he hurried out of his room, eager to share his insights and experiences from the past month with the Ancestral God.
