As Ye Fei attempted to climb out of the valley, he quickly realized something unusual. Each attempt to ascend seemed met with an inexplicable force, making him feel as if he were carrying an immense weight. Reluctantly, he had to retreat back down to the valley floor.
While he managed to reassure himself, the thought lingered: what if he couldn't leave at all? Determined not to get trapped, he immediately returned to the cave he had entered through.
Reaching the slope he had used earlier, Ye Fei was relieved to find that the strange force was absent here. Confidently, he made his way back to the valley floor. Assured now that he could leave anytime he chose, he decided to fully explore this mysterious place. It was an area filled with charm and untamed beauty, the kind of secluded paradise he might one day share with his loved ones.
This hidden valley wasn't overly large, perhaps around twenty square kilometers. Ye Fei noticed various animals here, all small and seemingly unique to the area. Some looked like rabbits but with longer tails, while others resembled squirrels, though their tails were less bushy.
These creatures, never having encountered humans, displayed no fear of him. Several approached him curiously, examining him as if he were an unusual new arrival.
Amused, Ye Fei reached out and picked up a small creature resembling a squirrel. It perched comfortably on his shoulder, emitting cheerful chirps. As if envious, other animals leaped towards him, some even managing to land on his shoulders. With a small entourage of these curious creatures, Ye Fei wandered happily through the valley.
In the heart of the valley, he stumbled upon a small lake, perhaps a hundred meters across. The water was exceptionally clear, revealing smooth stones at the bottom. Covered in dirt from the cave, he eagerly dove into the cool lake. Instantly, a refreshing sensation washed over him.
The effect was more than just physical; he felt his internal energy circulation double in speed, similar to the benefits he gained from his unique training. Reflecting on this, he realized that this lake might hold benefits not only for him but also for those he cared about, enhancing their cultivation without the demanding dual practice.
Ye Fei spent several hours swimming and enjoying the water. By the time he climbed out, dusk was settling over the valley, and the small animals had dispersed for the night. Remembering Liu Junyi's words, he quickly dressed, retraced his steps through the cave, and headed back to the camp.

When Ye Fei arrived at the base, dinner had already concluded, and groups of his fellow special forces members were scattered around, chatting. He greeted them briefly, then made his way to Liu Junyi's quarters. After knocking softly, he announced, "Aunt, I'm back."
The door opened quickly, and Liu Junyi threw herself into his arms. Her embrace was tight, and Ye Fei could feel her trembling.
Liu Junyi beamed at him, her excitement clear. "Is this the place you mentioned? Take me further in!"
Guiding her through the cave, they soon entered the hidden valley. Liu Junyi's face lit up as she took in the picturesque surroundings, enchanted by the lush landscape and playful animals. Her laughter rang out as she began interacting with the animals, her delight as innocent as a child's.
Watching her, Ye Fei was struck by a thought: he envisioned if one day he could bring all the women around him here, it would be such a beautiful sight to see a group of angelic beauties playing here.
After a time, Ye Fei approached her, saying, "There's a lake in the center. It has a unique effect that can boost cultivation. Want to try it out?"
Since she hadn't been able to wash up after their long trek the previous day, Liu Junyi was eager to refresh herself. Smiling, she agreed but quickly turned to him and, with a playful command, said, "You can turn around now."
