"Makes sense, makes sense!!"

Unable to keep up the act, Chen Tianshou nodded repeatedly, a trace of delight on his lips, "Brother Luo, until we meet again!"

After hastily bidding farewell, Chen Tianshou flew on his sword and quickly vanished beyond the horizon as a sword light.

Luo Fei looked at Chen Tianshou's departing silhouette, his lips curled slightly.

With a flourish, he spread his fan, gently fanning himself as he swaggered forward.

With each step he took, it seemed as if the ground shrunk underfoot, traversing a hundred meters in an instant.

"Who knows if your Taihang Sword Sect can even survive this winter."

...

...

As time passed by day by day, the weather became increasingly desolate and cold, with temperatures dropping each day.

Winter was approaching.

Guo Erwa seemed quite experienced, aside from practicing boxing and static skill breathing daily, she spent most of her time in the forest constantly hunting and making jerky.

As the weather swiftly turned colder, there was no worry about the jerky spoiling.

Using a shovel, Guo Erwa dug out a cellar beneath the kitchen of the log cabin, filling it with a bounty of game, furs, and wild vegetables and fruits picked from the mountains.

After Guo Erwa placed the last hunt into the cellar, looking at the abundant pile of game, she said happily, "With all this jerky, we shouldn't go hungry this winter."

Also looking at the woodshed, she had neatly stacked a large amount of firewood, filling the room, even piling some beside the woodshed.

Lu Ren leisurely sat on a lounge chair made from a giant bear's skin, feeling comfortable on the thick, soft fur.

During these two months, Lu Ren's limbs had just begun to grow back, with only the muscular filling and bone strengthening left to do.

When Niu Genshan came again, snowflakes were already gently falling from the sky.

At this time, Guo Erwa no longer ventured into the mountains. Considering how the weather could anytime turn into falling heavy snow, it wouldn't be a joke if the mountains got sealed off by the snow.

This was what an old hunter once kindly taught Guo Erwa in the forest; unfortunately, the man later died in a tiger attack.

When Niu Genshan bashfully bowed to Lu Ren, he found Lu Ren's gaze on him unusually odd, making his scalp crawl with a sense of horror.

"Master Lu, what is the matter?"

Niu Genshan forced a dry smile; the artless old ox was nowhere to be seen in him, only shrewdness and flattery were evident.

Lu Ren spoke introspectively, "I just really want to know what demons like you rely on to transform into human shapes. The change in body cells like this had puzzled me for a long time."

Niu Genshan shivered slightly, feeling the danger in Lu Ren's words. He shrank his head and didn't dare respond, just turned and lifted two large crates from afar.

"Master Lu, winter is coming; I specially brought some winter clothes and some daily supplies for you."

Indeed, very considerate, making it hard for Lu Ren to find fault.

Seeing the variable expressions on Lu Ren's face, Niu Genshan's heart was in his throat; finally, Lu Ren's expression eased, and he nodded slightly.

"You've been thoughtful, carry them inside."

Slam!

Niu Genshan felt his heart which was in his throat suddenly drop down. Only then did he truly understand the saying from novels about being close to a king as being close to a tiger.

Absolutely frightening, though it was true he actually wasn't human...

Seeing Niu Genshan enthusiastically moving things, Guo Erwa happily dug out a piece of caramel from a box and popped it into her mouth, then helped with the moving.

Lu Ren said leisurely, "Old Ox, you didn't acquire these items by robbing, did you?"

Niu Genshan shook his head repeatedly, "Master Lu, how dare I? I got all these items with true gold and silver, you must know nowadays the Great Ming is flourishing in Martial Virtue, suppressing the entire Li Luo Realm, dominating the Nine Lands, though it has declined quite a bit now and a lot has happened.

Nevertheless, the Great Ming is indeed an unimaginable colossal presence."

Lu Ren had read the books Niu Genshan brought him describing the Great Ming.

A thousand years ago, humans in the Li Luo Realm lived almost entirely in darkness, either like walking corpses, or were kept by demons, or fell to be evil cultivators' living resources.

During that darkest age, someone raised a torch and advanced resolutely, in just two hundred years swept through Li Luo Realm.

This individual was also among the absolute top powerhouses in the world, and his army of thirty thousand iron riders were unstoppable; after securing the land, he led a campaign against mountains and demolished temples, casting those lofty cultivators down to the mortal world.

That campaign nearly turned the entire Li Luo Realm upside down, leaving the Great Ming crippled.

The following account was vague, but the outcome was those Sacred Lands sealed themselves away, and the founder of Great Ming led a large group of top-tier Seeking Truth Realm experts down into the Netherworld.

The second emperor of Great Ming was also immensely talented, single-handedly stemming the decline of Great Ming with an iron grip, which led to the current everlasting enterprise of a thousand-year dynasty.
