Hoo-hoo--

The cold wind outside the cave was still biting, and the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping.

Ye Anping sat in front of the campfire, roasting the dried meat intently. After listening to Xiao Tian's narration, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Xiao Tian looked at Feng Yu Die, who had her face buried in the blanket, and suddenly frowned and said, "Young Master Ye, why are you still pretending not to hear me at this time?!"

Sizzle--

The remaining fat in the jerky was roasted by the fire, giving off a thick sauce flavor. Ye Anping raised the bamboo stick in his hand, took a bite of the hot jerky, and intentionally chewed it out with a loud noise.

"Nom~~ Nom~~ Nom~~"

Xiao Tian raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She was so angry that she started kicking Ye Anping's head.

"Hiss--- Ye brat, you refuse to listen?!! You're still pretending at a time like this!!"

Ye Anping ignored her but handed another skewer to Feng Yu Die.

"It wasn't cooked just now. Would you like to try again?"

Hearing this, Feng Yu Die looked up and stared at the greasy meat in his hand for a while. Hesitatingly, she reached out and took a small bite.

"Mmm..." She closed her lips and chewed for a while before swallowing with a gulp. Then, she asked again, "There really isn't any roasted chicken?"

"No."

This content is taken from "Well then..."

"Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal in the Wine Spring Town."

"Great!! It's a deal!"

"Why don't you take a rest? It's still too early for the snow to stop."

"Can't sleep."

"Oh..."

For a long time, the two stood in front of the fire, listening in silence to the howling wind outside the cave and the crackling sound of the burning wood. frёewebηovel.cѳm

...

After a while, Feng Yu Die felt a little sleepy. She yawned and held the blanket tighter.

"Young Master Ye, can you talk to me about Sister Pei?"

"I'd rather not."

"Oh..." Feng Yu Die fell silent for a while and asked again, "How about playing cards? I brought cards with me."

"Not interested."

"Chess?"

"Nope."

"Oh..."

Ye Anping sighed softly and added some more firewood to the campfire. There was nothing to do for a while. For cultivators, concentrating and meditating was the fastest way to pass the time, but the cold air outside was really too strong. If cold air were brought into the body while cultivating, it would be counterproductive.

After thinking for a while, he simply closed his eyes and reviewed the Moon Shadow Sword Sect's plan in his mind, trying to find any flaws or omissions as a way to pass the time.

The sound of the cold wind outside the cave seemed to have grown louder.

When Ye Anping was checking the Moon Shadow Sword plan for the fifth time, he suddenly felt something hit his shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced over.

"..."

Feng Yu Die's tilted body was now leaning against his side, and her cheek rested on his shoulder. It seemed that she couldn't resist her drowsiness due to boredom and fell asleep directly.

Xiao Tian was nowhere to be seen, probably back inside her head.

Ye Anping hesitated for a moment, then decided not to wake her up. He looked at the dwindling sparks in the fire, and trying to keep still as much as possible, he took out new firewood and flint from his storage bag and rekindled the fire.

He originally wanted to close his eyes and continue daydreaming, but then he saw Feng Yu Die resting on his shoulder with a slight smile, showing extreme relaxation and contentment.

Hoo hoo...

Outside the cave, the biting cold wind was still howling, as if it were a sinister laughter in a horror movie. Ye Anping felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to it, yet Feng Yu Die casually and peacefully fell asleep on his shoulder.

"..."

Ye Anping was silent for a while; was she taking him as her master, the great Taixu?

Thinking about the letter that Xiao Tian had just read aloud, Ye Anping's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

As previously mentioned, if players found this letter at Mr. Qi's place, they could see its contents, but the first paragraph was blotted out.

This incident caused a wave of speculation among plot enthusiasts online.

Most of them believed that Master Taixu had revealed a huge secret to Feng Yu Die or the Black Star Sect in this letter, but it never appeared again in the subsequent main plot.

Therefore, the most convincing explanation that the players came up with was that the scriptwriter originally created a large plot hole in this letter, but forgot to fill it later in the main story.

In the official talk show, the scriptwriter's original words were: "I don't know what is written on it. I just thought that if there are blacked-out parts on a letter, it will look more mysterious."

But who knew it would actually turn out to be like that.

--- Master Taixu pawned all her stuff, wanting to turn her bicycle into a motorcycle, but ended up losing everything.

But then again, who blotted out this sentence with ink?

Mr. Qi? Or was it...

Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die again. Could it be her doing?

Could it be that she wanted her master to leave this world with a good reputation?

Anyway, it didn't matter anymore.

"Sigh--"

Ye Anping sighed softly, closed his eyes, and let his mind wander to pass the time.

After a while, a ray of light shone through the cave's entrance, and the whistling sound of wind and snow stopped. Ye Anping suddenly felt a little moisture on his neck.

After a moment of puzzlement, he opened his eyes to take a look and saw a strand of saliva dripping from Feng Yu Die's mouth onto his collar, leaving a stain on it.

"..."

At the same time, a golden little figure floated and spun around in front of them, peeking at him with a motherly smile on her face.

Ye Anping gritted his teeth until his cheeks bulged, then gave a slight push with his left shoulder.

Plop---

"Ah?! Ha..." Feng Yu Die fell to the ground and woke up suddenly, then looked around with a confused face. "What's wrong?! What happened?!"

"Wake up. We have to hit the road."

Still dazed, Feng Yu Die wiped her saliva and nodded blankly.

"Mm!"

"..."

Ye Anping stood up, took out his bamboo hat and raincoat from his storage bag, and put them on. He glanced at her and saw that the silver hair that had lost its luster last night now shone brightly, and her complexion was rosy again. She also regained her usual cheerful expression.

After putting on her raincoat and bamboo hat, Feng Yu Die turned her head and saw Ye Anping staring at her. She shrank her neck for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

"Last night... Oh, you said you're going to treat me to roasted chicken, right?!"

"... Right."

"Let's go then!"

Ye Anping sighed helplessly, then bent and crawled out of the cave. The blazing sun in the sky made it difficult for him to open his eyes. Fortunately, the weather cleared up.

Feng Yu Die followed him out and also squinted her eyes, turning her head away. "It snowed so hard last night, but the sun shines so bright the next day."

"Complain to the heavens, not to me."
