By the time Monkey and the others had stepped onto the territory of the Kingdom of Women, Lu Yu had quietly arrived and reached the bank of the Mother and Child River.
Gazing at the crystal-clear river water, Lu Yu was also stunned—it was indeed rare to see such a beautiful scene. He didn't rush to start refining the Treasure Vase, but instead slowly sat down by the river, dipped his feet into the water, and let the cool river wash over his feet, enjoying this rare leisure.
For some reason, at that moment, he felt a strong urge to sleep; considering that since he had achieved proficiency in his practice, it seemed he had rarely slept.
So, he closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and gradually fell asleep to the gentle breeze and undisturbed water waves.
However, this peaceful state didn't last long before he heard the urgent sound of horse hooves nearby. He saw a troop of cavalry rushing past, and they seemed to be shouting something.
