Chapter 79: Snowfall Chaos, Evil Array in the City...
On the first day of the eleventh month, I saw the snow city.
Azhi was unconscious for two whole days. When she woke up and found herself back in Jianxue City, she felt a moment of confusion.
But then she saw a woman in red, both unfamiliar and familiar, standing in front of her. "You're awake?"
"Who are you?"
Qingyu smiled, and the young girl replied to Azhi's words leisurely.
"Qishan, Qingyu... Oh right, you should be more familiar with my other name—Hua Fan."
Fan Xiang was brewing medicine not far away. Listening to Qing Yu's words, she looked up and looked at Qing Yu with some doubt. Qing Yu smiled after receiving her gaze, "I took it casually when I was little. Later, a little accident happened, so I took another one."
Anyway, she was born and raised in this world, and her name is something she can decide with a word.
"Flowers in abundance..."
"you……"
Only now did Azhi truly feel a bit emotional. She remembered this flower fairy; the last time she saw her, she was still an eleven or twelve-year-old child... She's grown up so much now.
Did you save me?
"yes."
Qingyu walked to her side and naturally helped Azhi up. "I don't know if you remember, but when I fought with the human Gu cultivator, you cured me of the Gu poison. At that time, I said I would repay you."
"Look, here I am!"
Azhi sat up, leaning slightly against the wooden railing of the daybed. The woman looked around; it seemed to be a large space, or perhaps a carriage. Outside the window, she could see snow and wind, and the faintly visible buildings indicated the city of Jianxue. Inside the carriage were only two women, Hua Fan and…
"I am a medical practitioner, surnamed Lin. You can just call me Doctor Lin."
Fan Xiangchao Azhi nodded slightly, then quietly resumed boiling the medicine.
Qingyu looked at Azhi with a questioning look in her eyes, "Although I don't know what grudges you have with Wen Gu and the others, I remember that your clansmen were supposed to come to visit relatives... Didn't you see them?"
The Miao people, A-Ling and A-Gu, traveled faster than them by carriage and were not delayed, so they should have arrived at Xuecheng earlier than them.
"Visiting relatives? I...I don't know..."
Azhi spoke weakly, she was too weak, as if she had been caught in a cold in the Tianshan Mountains and had lost all her strength. Fan Xiang stepped forward to check her pulse and said softly, "You had just had a miscarriage and the wind and evil entered your body. On top of that, your heart fire attacked you. You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Now your heart meridian has been damaged."
After a pause, Fan Xiang pursed her lips and said gently, "But it's alright. After I treat you and you rest for three months, you shouldn't have any lasting health problems."
Fan Xiang was giving the doctor's orders when Qing Yu looked out the window and asked Wen Chuan and the others to go to the city to find out what was going on, but they hadn't returned for a long time.
A gentle breeze blew by as Qingyu sat down next to Azhi. She said, "Perhaps the snow was too heavy on the road and your people got lost. Maybe you can wait and then go back to Yizhou with them. The climate there is more suitable for you."
"Go back... I can go back, go home..."
Azhi murmured softly, tears welling up in her eyes. She grasped Qingyu's hand, "Hua Fan, can I really go home? Back to Yizhou..."
Returning to the Miao village, the mountains are deep green, the valleys echo with the sounds of nature, the sunlight shines like a silver crown, and from a high vantage point one can see endless stars. Everywhere there are people and animals, a gentle breeze blows, and the children of the tribe play noisily around her.
That was her home.
She was seeing snow, a place she longed to return to in her dreams.
Qingyu grasped her hand in return, the girl's eyes gentle yet strong, "Of course, you can come here from here just as you came from home."
Azhi looked at Qingyu and nodded. Then she felt weak and powerless. Gradually, Qingyu's voice softened, "You're too tired. Don't think too much. You'll get better."
As she spoke, Azhi gradually closed her eyes again.
...
Wen Chuan and the others stepped into the carriage. Before Zhang Xuan could speak, he exclaimed, "It's a mess, a complete mess."
Qingyu found it amusing. "What's all the commotion about?"
For once, Qin Tianshu opened his fan and gently waved it. The scholar sighed and recounted the events in Jianxue City.
In truth, it didn't affect ordinary people much; they could live their lives as usual. However, most of the cultivators in the snow were in chaos. The loss of Wen Gu Immortal Sword, along with the news of the Shangguan family's annihilation, caused a sensation. Coupled with the incident of Wen Gu Huaiyuan's wife jumping off the cliff, many people began to despise the so-called First Goddess, Shangguan Ming. Murong Wanyu fought with them again, but he couldn't win and was seriously injured and recuperating. As for Shangguan Ming, she hadn't spoken since waking up yesterday. Wen Gu Huaiyuan had gone mad and was still guarding the Tianshan Snow Cliff, guarding something unknown.
At this moment, Wen Gu Huai Gui is in charge of the Wen Gu family. This second young master is very wicked. He went missing before, and after being found, he killed many of his own family members. He finally settled down and got married two months ago. Unexpectedly, he caused trouble right after the wedding and almost strangled his bride to death. His reputation for violence has returned. Now he is acting as the head of the family. Basically, everyone is trembling with fear. Although the two young masters of the Wen Gu family, Huai Yuan and Huai Gui, are highly skilled, so many things have happened all at once... Everyone feels that the Wen Gu family is about to fall into chaos.
"Patriarch?"
Qingyu clicked her tongue twice. In just two years, Wen Guhuaigui had already become the head of the family, the number one swordsman in the world. Well, well.
Lin Fanxiang sighed silently, "So, what should we do now?"
Qingyu sneered, "What can we do but go into the city? It's so chaotic, no one's checking us."
"That's true,"
Zhang Xuan said, "There wasn't a single cultivator at the city gate; they were mostly watching the commotion near the Wengu clan."
After all, Shangguan Ming and Murong Wanyu were still living in the Wengu Mansion, and many people were curious about the outcome of this whole affair.
"more than,"
Wen Chuan rarely spoke, and the young man said calmly, "I saw the Miao people when I left. They must have just arrived in Jianxue City, and they're probably already causing trouble in the Wengu Mansion."
The Miao people's Gu poison techniques are exquisite, capable of killing without a trace. If they really cause trouble, it will likely lead to another bloodbath.
Qin Tianshu glanced at the unconscious Azhi, then snapped his fan shut. "Let's go into the city first."
In the far north, among the ice and snow cultivators, let the ruthless sword intent of the Dao be shown to them what it truly is.
...
Wen Gu Shi.
The northern lands are cold and barren; apart from the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, no other flowers can bloom.
Of course, you could also say that the place is covered in snowflakes, crystal clear and pure.
As the saying goes, everything depends on people's hearts.
Thinking this, Wen Guyu used his sword to control the wind, causing snowflakes to dance. In the quiet and secluded courtyard, the young man's sword stirred up frost, carrying a deep and chilling aura in the silence.
"Slap, slap, slap."
Suddenly, applause rang out, and Wen Guyu looked up.
With handsome features and a pure, innocent appearance, a red mole between his brows, he seemed like a celestial being descended to earth. The young man smiled slightly, yet his eyes held a wicked glint, a hint of ferocity in his brows, and upturned corners of his eyes, as if a combination of good and evil, a blend of ruthlessness and compassionate divinity.
This is the story of Wen Gu Huai Gui.
Of the three sons of the Wengu clan, Wengu Huaiyuan was born cold and rarely showed tenderness after marriage, but he was always indifferent and could be described as cold and ruthless. Wengu Huaigui was somewhat evil in his childhood, taking pleasure in life and death. After getting lost, he returned to Wengu and went on a killing spree, using blood to enter the Dao. He often laughed and killed several people, so he was evil and ruthless.
As for his adopted son, he was just an ordinary sword cultivator.
At this moment, the eldest sister-in-law jumped off the snow cliff, the eldest brother is in the Tianshan Mountains and refuses to come back, and the second brother is taking over as the head of the family. It is unknown what will happen next.
Wen Guyu: "Second Brother."
Wen Guhuai smiled and looked at his usually low-key third brother. "Ayu, you know I don't like listening to people nagging. The Miao people have come to the city. I remember you and your sister-in-law are on good terms. Go ahead."
Since he's from Yizhou, if he goes there, he might just take action. It's better to have someone else calmly persuade him to leave.
Wen Guyu smiled and nodded, then said, "I will do my best."
"There's no need to worry about it,"
Wen Gu Huai Gui: "Tomorrow it is. You take people to Tianshan. If you want to make trouble, make trouble with Wen Gu Huai Yuan. If you want to find your sister-in-law, jump down and look for her. If that still doesn't work, you know what to do."
"By the way, when you go tomorrow, remember to tell your elder brother to have a good time to comprehend the Dao on Mount Tian. After all, losing the immortal sword and having one's wife jump off a cliff are excellent examples of ruthless enlightenment."
His words were ruthless, yet tinged with a hint of mischief. Wen Guyu finally looked at him and asked, "Second Brother, what do you want to do?"
Seemingly surprised by Wen Guyu's words, Wen Guhuai raised an eyebrow at him, a hint of fierceness and amusement inexplicably appearing in the handsome man's eyes.
“Ah Yu, when I came back back then, you were just a child who only knew how to practice swordsmanship. Now that you’re old enough, go out and see the world.”
Wen Guyu looked at him and sighed silently, "Second brother, I'm only thirteen years old."
Wen Guhuai smiled and said, "I left home when I was ten years old, and I'm still doing just fine."
Seemingly unwilling to say anything more to Wen Guyu, he turned and left, a casual yet helpless chuckle drifting back.
"If you don't want to leave, your second brother will welcome you."
He never stops people who are courting death.
...
afternoon.
The carriage slowly drove into the Snow City—
"Stop! Turn around! Quickly!"
Qingyu, who had been meditating on the long couch, suddenly opened her eyes. The girl immediately got up, opened the carriage door, and whispered to Zhang Xuan at the carriage shaft, her expression more serious than ever before.
Zhang Xuan was puzzled, but he immediately changed direction and chatted with the gatekeeper at the city gate, saying that he had lost something important outside and needed to go back to find it immediately.
Just then, snow began to fall again, and the gatekeepers, too lazy to cause trouble, allowed the boys to pass through safely. In the blink of an eye, they were out of Snowfall City.
Inside the car, Wen Chuan asked Qing Yu, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with Jian Xuecheng?"
Qingyu stared blankly at the wind and snow outside, muttering to herself.
"It's a demon array... How can there be so many demons in one city..."
Humans have ghost cultivators, and demons have evil ghosts; these are things that only exist in Fengdu. Moreover, demons are already rare, and evil ghosts are even rarer!
How could this be? Even in the Nine Provinces, there might not be this many of these bizarre things…
But within this Snowfall City lies a massive array, teeming with evil spirits... Cultivators and mortals alike... none can escape it...
"Wen Guhuai returns home..."
She murmured to herself, without any emotion.

Author's Note: [Newbie] Okay, so as not to disrupt your reading pace, this chapter's author's notes are a bit longer (there's a lot of text, feel free to skip if you mind [sigh]):
1. I've been learning about chickens lately, and I've found that hens are generally considered better than roosters, and it's true that hens are the ones that smell sweet and are soft...
But [Cai Gou] Cai Cai is a rooster, because I chose crowing over laying eggs based on the two details... Cluck cluck cluck (hens seem to prefer cluck cluck cluck, hahaha).
Never mind, our Cai Cai is a rooster with maternal instincts, the kind that's very easy to pet, and she's also lazy, loves to nap, loves to eat vegetables, and is clingy... Just so you know [shrug]
[Heart emoji]
2. I'd also like to recommend the pre-order novel "I'm the Older Sister of the Female Lead in an Old-Fashioned Tragic Novel" (also known as "A Farewell to Glory").
Highlight: The full text contains 160,000 words. The draft is complete, so updates will be stable after the text is started and will definitely not be left unfinished.
The text is as follows:
[A gentle and aloof female ghost young lady * A refined, noble, and love-struck prince]
Su Nianci is dead; she was beheaded.
He had been dead for many years, and had been a ghost for decades, yet he still didn't know why he had died.
She drifted along, refusing to be reincarnated, until one day she found an absurd book—
It's a really mindless and melodramatic little playbook about a woman who saves a man on the street. Later, because of the man's special identity, the woman's family is wiped out, her country is destroyed, the man becomes emperor, and the woman seeks revenge. And then... she becomes his empress...
Yes, the story is full of twists and turns, with the main plot revolving around love, hate, and heartbreak, culminating in the two becoming a couple, much to the delight of everyone.
In conclusion: This book is rubbish.
...
Su Nianci: This is possible?! This is possible?! Is this even possible?! This is possible?! I can even put my head back on my neck and turn into a living ghost—
Good news, she really came back to life, and with the script in hand, she was reborn at the very beginning of the story.
The bad news is, in the script, she's a minor character who dies young.
…
Actually, it's not really that much of a deal. Su Nianci sat leisurely by the window, listening to the autumn rain, while her maidservant reported the news she had received that day with shock and panic.
Last night, during a heavy rain, her bold and kind younger sister secretly rescued a man in the yard without telling anyone.
A "deeply affectionate" person who will be entangled with his sister for life in the future, ultimately leading to the execution of the entire Su family.
...
"Pat-pat-pat—"
The rain outside the window grew heavier and heavier, and the autumn atmosphere deepened under the night sky. The aloof woman listened to the sound of the rain, closed the mysterious book, and smiled in an instant, casually tossing the book into the brazier beside her.
As the flames burned and warmth filled the air, an eerie crackling sound came from the sparks. Su Nianci smiled, opened the window as if she hadn't heard it, and stood quietly watching the rain.
Finally, she smiled gently at the clear, bright sunlight.
There are so many absurd things in this world, why bother thinking about them so deeply?
Whether it's a dream or a book, now that the actors have gathered, the curtain slowly rises, and the night rain is misty, who can escape?
A new story begins.
Reading Guide:
1. The female lead is the original female lead's older sister, but in the original story, she was just a passerby who was beheaded and killed a long time ago.
2. This story is short and fast-paced. It's a pseudo-serious historical romance, and the original story is very old and illogical, but our female protagonist isn't interested in it. She has her own life and ideas.
(This story doesn't have much rigorous logic either, because the original story was set in an old-fashioned angst novel, especially the plot involving the original male and female leads, which is extremely far-fetched.)
3. Although the synopsis doesn't say it, the male and female leads are really sweet, a classic couple.
This article is also known as: A Farewell to Glory
(The pre-order link is at the very bottom of the author's note. The cover is our Cibao's story [milk tea]. Interested readers can add it to their favorites [kiss])
[Heart emoji]
3. Regarding the update time of this article:
I'll be posting on Fridays, with updates starting after 11 PM. After that, the update time will be fixed at midnight, with 3,000 words updated daily. (So this Friday night, it's like I updated two chapters within an hour, and Xiaohe checked, and it just so happens to be the wedding, hehehe [shy])
Although I update 3,000 words daily, I'll occasionally add extra chapters or short skits (I'll write short skits if any readers want to see them).
[Heart emoji]
4. Note: This story features Wen Gu Huai Gui's appearance and some flashbacks from his youth, but please do not doubt the feelings and destiny between Yu Mei and Chuan Zi.
Even a truly rotten person is still a rotten person. (Unless two rotten people are rotten together [shrug])
[Heart]
5. Hard to say:
Regarding the interior floor plan of the carriage and the map of the entire Kyushu, I painstakingly hand-drew them, and they're in the character design illustrations below the text. But I really can't draw, so they're really ugly...
I've been researching this lately, trying my best to schedule drawings and study maps (but I'm broke [laughing and crying emoji])... I don't know if it's true that you get what you pay for, because none of them turned out the way I wanted... If the map changes and looks good, then I'm lucky I've got it done; if the map doesn't change, then I'm out of options; if the map changes and doesn't look good... then I'm truly out of options [emoji]...
...
at last! ! !
Happy reading, dear readers! [kissing emojis]
