280 Its D for Sure! (1/2)
The night sky was extraordinarily clear in the wild. The moonlight shone upon the woods as the willows danced to the breeze, causing the shadows to sway slightly. The water of the river flickered like diamonds as its surface reflected the bright radiance of the moon.
Clothing releasing a faint fragrance had been placed beside the river, consisting of various colors and elegant styles. Some were made of muslin, or lace, and were either close-fitting, or loose...
In the river under the moonlight, maidens who looked like night elves were splashing the water onto their bare and flawless skin, resulting in quite a spectacular view. The occasional giggle embellished the silent woods.
The clear water of the river flowed steadily by. It felt great despite being quite cold.
”Are you tired of your life!” Suddenly, an icy voice echoed in the woods, before a shadow moved aside rapidly.
”AH! AH!”
Zhao Mingyue, Bai Tingting, Mu Nujiao, Qingqing, and the rest of the women immediately dropped into the water while scanning the surroundings with sharp looks.
”What's going on?” Song Xia, who was helping the girls keep an eye out, hurried her way over with a confused expression.
”Someone's there.”
”It's the energy of the Shadow Element!”
”Who has the Shadow Element?”
”Peng Liang, it must be him!”

The guys were still chatting around the campfire, telling each other what they had encountered in the past. In simpler words, they were boasting.
A moment later, the girls appeared with long faces, as if their eyes could penetrate one's heart.
”Who was that just then?” Song Xia cut straight to the point. She pointed at the men and snapped furiously.
”Who could it be? There's only one person with the Shadow Element in our group...” Qingqing glared at Peng Liang.
Peng Liang's face turned pale. He immediately rose to his feet and explained, ”I didn't. I was only at the woods. I didn't even have the chance to get close to the river. I didn't see anything.”
”Oh Peng Liang, I never thought you were that kind of a person. I'm embarrassed to call you a teammate!” Zhao Manting uttered a cough and said with a stern look.
”Zhao Manting, you...” Peng Liang suddenly felt like he had been betrayed.
Just a moment ago, every guy was jealous that he had the chance to enjoy a spectacular view. Who knew that they would all turn their backs and act like they were gentlemen when the girls found out!
Peng Liang had no choice, but to admit it.
He admitted that he did have the intention, but he swore that he did not manage to take a peek, as he did not even get to see the river.
”Forget it, Song Xia was looking out for us, too. He was probably just running around in the woods.”
”Humph, what a scum!”
”Pervert!”
”Hypocrite!”
The ladies furiously returned to their tents. The men surrounding the campfire nodded their heads quickly, totally hanging Peng Liang out to dry right until the end.
Peng Liang suddenly felt his life was over. He felt like crying, but there were no tears.

The dispute was soon settled. The young men took turns as watchmen for the group as everyone began to go to bed.
”Mo Fan, where were you just then?” Mo Fan and Zhao Manting were the first up on duty. Zhao Manting suddenly recalled that Mo Fan did leave for a moment during the previous dispute.
”I am used to being on alert all the time, so I was just patrolling nearby,” Mo Fan said with a stern look.
”Oh, is that so… If I'm not mistaken, I remember that you do have a Shadow Element equipment.” Zhao Manting raised his brows and blurted out in an indifferent manner.
