Originally intending to complete the journey quickly, Yanluo chose to stay overnight to learn more about the demon realm.
This is just a piece of history, and Yanluo doesn't intend to interfere; she just wants to be a witness to history.
Perhaps we'll have the chance to witness the entire destruction of the demon realm.
Following this trend, it is very likely that this war initiated by the Western District led to the destruction of the demon realm.
Outside the window, the snow was white and the wind and snow were getting stronger. Just as Xue San from the village had said, the sky quickly darkened.
Torches were lit around the village.
Xue San got up, lifted the tarpaulin and went outside, with Yan Luo following closely behind.
"Our village's hunting team is coming back."
We left the old village chief's house.
Yanluo looked out of the village. It was pitch black with extremely low visibility, as if ghosts and monsters might rush out at any moment. The village was surrounded by forests and darkness, and the torches could serve as a way to guide the returning hunting party.
Once upon a time, the young Yanluo followed his master to the northern frontier.
The sheer awe Yanluo felt upon seeing snow for the first time, especially for someone from Guangdong province, made her want to take her beloved to live in a city with snow when she truly grew up.
After a heavy snowfall, I stepped out of the warm house into the white world. The snow outside was thick, and I played in the snow with my lover.
Later, Yanluo, who was ordered by Fifth Spring and Autumn to practice swordsmanship shirtless, successfully suffered frostbite.
That immediately dispelled his idea.
A deep roar came from afar. Yanluo and Xue San stood at the village entrance. In the distance, a faint light appeared. The light grew closer and closer, and a large group of snow demons on horseback were approaching.
They arrived quickly, and the snow demon in the lead was the captain of the village's hunting team.
Captain Xuelin dismounted, his face showing apology and helplessness.
"Village chief, we're back."
Xue San looked at the group behind him, and the expressions on the faces of the more than thirty young and strong male snow demons were exactly the same as those of Captain Xue Lin.
The elderly village chief sighed.
"Let's go home, it's cold outside, we'll think of something else."
The group followed the old village chief and Yanluo into the village, with Xuelin leading the horse beside them.
"And who is this brother?"
Yanluo stretched out her left hand, revealing the same snow demon totem.
“I got lost around here and found this village. The village chief was kind and, considering that we were from the same clan, let me stay overnight.”
Xue Lin laughed heartily and shook hands with Yan Luo.
"We are all of the same ethnicity, so it is only right that we help each other."
Yan Luo looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and laughed, "Thank you so much. If I hadn't met the village chief, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time tonight."
Xuelin sighed.
"Yes, I reckon the heavy snow is coming in the middle of the night. The harvest is bad this year, and there's not much to hunt. Most of the small animals have gone into hiding to hibernate."
The old village chief stroked his long white beard.
"Tomorrow, Xue Lin, take some men to Winter City to buy supplies."
"But village chief, that money was meant to be used to buy seeds!"
The towering Xue Lin felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
"Let's get through this first and then make plans. Can your child go without food and water?"
The snow demons of the hunting party went home.
Yanluo followed the old village chief back to his home.
Xue San took out several round flatbreads from the inner room, set up the grill, and then put the flatbreads on it.
"The flatbread baked over a wood fire is delicious. Have a few more later, young man."
After drinking the remaining tea in her cup, Yanluo nodded with a smile.
As night deepened, Xue San went to sleep in the inner room.
Before going to sleep, he gave Yanluo a thick bed so that Yanluo could get a good night's sleep.
Yanluo was very grateful for his kindness.
The snow outside was getting heavier, and the wind was howling loudly. Yanluo instantly stepped out of the house.
In the dark of the snowy mountains, they ambushed several large and robust deer demons who were resting.
The deer in the demon realm are several times larger than the moose, the largest deer species in the human realm. Yanluo left several deer demons at the village entrance and went back to her house for a short rest.
Before dawn, Yanluo left the village.
Those few deer demons were enough to feed this small village for a while; this was his small token of gratitude for the old village chief's kindness.
Speedrunning should look like speedrunning.
Yanluo arrived at Winter City, hundreds of miles away, at dawn.
This is a small town.
Snow covered the city walls, and in the middle of the city gate was a huge plaque with the words "Winter" prominently displayed above it.
As everyone knows, there is an entry fee to enter the city.
What does that have to do with inkstones?
In a flash, he silently entered the city.
I also want to pay and walk in openly and honestly, but unfortunately I don't have the money.
Helpless, Yanluo walked along the city streets.
The information provided by a small village is too little. Yanluo needs more information to understand the current situation, and she can obtain more information by going to larger places.
On the central street of Winterfell stands a massive stone sculpture.
The sculpture depicts a woman, a woman of unparalleled beauty. Yan Luo remembers her; she was the one whose image was carved on the gate of an ancient ruin. The stone carving is lifelike, capturing even the indifference and coldness in the woman's eyes.
Based on what the old village chief said, Winter City is the former residence of the Snow Emperor, so this stone carving is indeed of the Snow Emperor.
After glancing around a few times, Yanluo continued walking down the street, feeling as if she were strolling through an ancient street.
The demons coming and going all around were wearing fur robes, which not only kept them warm and protected them from the cold, but also concealed some of their own race's characteristics.
Although they are all demon races, there are always some races that are not well received.
After leaving the village, Yanluo returned to her original appearance. With the hood on her robe covering her face, she no longer had to worry about her appearance being exposed.
You can easily transform it again if needed.
There were steamed buns being sold on the street, and Yanluo was quite curious: do demons also eat noodles?
In the distant ancient times, when the five realms were interconnected, many things from the human race circulated among the various realms. In the demon realm, one could see many things from the human race.
Last night I only ate a few baked flatbreads. Although I am already at the ninth level and won't starve to death even if I don't eat, people still have desires. The aroma of the meat buns and the warm steam wafted straight into Yan Luo's nose as she stood in front of the bun stall.
A figure draped in a white fur robe stood next to Yanluo.
"Boss, four donkey-shaped buns, please."
The voice belonged to a young woman, and it was somewhat cold.
"Alright! I'll install it for you right away!"
The woolly horned goat boss started filling paper bags with buns.
While packing the buns, the horned goat demon shopkeeper looked at Yanluo suspiciously.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
The customer next to him who wanted a donkey meat bun took the bun from the owner and poked Yanluo's robe.
Yanluo looked down at her; she was very small, only reaching about Yanluo's belly.
She reached into the paper bag and pulled out a steaming hot bun, raising her hand upwards.
"for you."
Yanlu noticed the snow demon totem on the back of her outstretched hand, so she transformed into the appearance of a snow demon.
He took the steamed bun, revealed the totem, and thanked them.
The snow demon in white robes shook her head.
"No need."
