After Qiao Mei finished washing her clothes, she did a simple exchange of energy with the surrounding plants. As the plants were very happy today, the energy she extracted was much purer than usual, but it still could not be compared to that of wild ginseng.
Qiao Mei walked back happily to the camp. She slipped back the way she came out and thought that no one had discovered what she did.
After Qiao Mei returned to the tent, she simply tied a rope and hung out the clothes to dry before lying on the bed and falling asleep.
While Qiao Mei was not around, Zheng Yuan went to the water storage tank and filled a basin with water. Then, she poured basin after basin of water into the ruins so that the water gradually flowed to the ground through the gaps.
"Hmph, let's see how you explain yourself when it's found out that half the amount of water is gone," Zheng Yuan said as she looked at the ruins.
