Of course, Lu Yaobing couldn't live in the same courtyard as Song Xiaodong. The houses here weren't very soundproof, and the sounds from the neighboring room kept reaching her ears.

Lu Yaobing knew very well what those sounds were. They were unmistakably the cries women make when they're at the peak of their emotions.

When she took the medicine Song Xiaodong gave her, she had made similar sounds, and she knew how exhilarating and uncontrollable they could be.

These cries clearly weren't from one person alone; every now and then the voice changed, and sometimes two people made those sounds together.

This made Lu Yaobing involuntarily imagine the situation over there. One person she could understand, but how could two people make those sounds at the same time? How could one man excite two people simultaneously?

This really baffled Lu Yaobing. And the main thing was, listening to those sounds made it hard for her to control herself. Then... ahem, for the first time in her life, she did something quite embarrassing.

Listening to the sounds from the next room made her excitement rise quickly and intensely, and she couldn't help but call out. Then she realized it was inappropriate, so she bit down on the blanket, stopping her own sounds from coming out.

The sounds next door continued, as if magical, making Lu Yaobing involuntarily go through the motions several times until she was exhausted and fell asleep.

In the morning, Lu Yaobing heard Song Xiaodong's voice in her ear, which prompted her to open her eyes and see Song Xiaodong standing by her bed.

"Why haven't you gotten up yet? Are you feeling unwell?" Song Xiaodong sat down and reached out to touch her forehead.

"No... just didn't sleep well." Lu Yaobing said, her cheeks involuntarily turning red.

Song Xiaodong paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, coughed lightly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Did I disturb you last night?"

Lu Yaobing pouted and said, "Master, your private life is really quite... ahem."

Song Xiaodong felt even more embarrassed and quickly changed the topic, saying, "We're going out to explore the scenery later. If you're tired, you can rest here."

"No, no! I want to go too." Lu Yaobing quickly sat up.

"Oh... you..." Song Xiaodong quickly turned his head, because Lu Yaobing wasn't wearing any clothes at that moment.

"Ah..." Lu Yaobing looked down and quickly lay back down again, feeling incredibly embarrassed. Normally, she didn't sleep without clothes, but last night she was too stimulated and felt the clothes were bothersome, so she took them off.

"I'll head out first. You should get up soon; we're leaving after breakfast."

"Mm." Lu Yaobing softly agreed, watching Song Xiaodong walk out, suddenly smiling. Letting Master see her body, though embarrassing, gave her a strange sense of happiness.

After breakfast, Song Xiaodong led a big group of people out, moving in a leisurely vacation-like manner, taking everyone to admire the exotic scenery.

Lu Yaobing looked at everyone, each person full of spirit, and couldn't help but think to herself. Everyone was full of energy despite her tiring night. How come Song Xiaodong and the other masters' wives didn't show any fatigue?

"By the way, husband, you said you were brought here by a serpent. We didn't encounter one when we came in. Where is it? Could you show us?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "The serpent has been isolated now, and won't come to our entrance path."

After the last visit, Song Xiaodong considered safety for future entries, and just feeding them seemed unsafe, so he devised a plan.

He instructed the locals to build several layers of fences by the river, made from sturdy vine whips and beast bones. If the serpent really wanted to pass, it could break through, but its side had enough food, so they lacked the motivation to do so.

This time, Song Xiaodong even had the family guard bring some steel bars to reinforce the fences again, making it harder for the serpents to come through, ensuring that this path is safer going forward.

He Lingzhi's suggestion was immediately agreed upon by everyone, especially Lin Shu, who eagerly said, "Yes, yes, we want to see the serpent. These others aren't fierce enough; they're not thrilling."

Song Xiaodong looked at everyone's excited faces and said, "You all have no idea how fierce the serpent is. With your small statures, it could swallow you right up."

"That's what makes it thrilling! Take us to see it." Lin Shu was even more excited.

Seeing that everyone had this thought, Song Xiaodong also wanted to check on the serpent, so he agreed.

But first, Song Xiaodong led everyone to where the big birds were. Last time, Song Xiaodong and Qingluan had trained a few big birds, and now the birds weren't afraid of humans. Moreover, they appeared very obedient, and most interestingly, they recognized Song Xiaodong. The birds he had ridden actually came over to him willingly.

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement, and Song Xiaodong laughed, "To see the serpent, it's a bit of a distance. Without the big birds to ride, we'd be walking for a long time."

"Riding birds is fun, fun!" Lin Shu instantly shouted excitedly, and the other ladies were equally thrilled, though they looked at the big birds with a bit of fear.
