170 CLOUD MIST RIDGE (2/2)

Janus, on the other hand, was purring in satisfaction as the cute little girl rubs him the right way.

”PUUUURRRRRR....”

[Scratch me there... Yes! You got it... Mooooore..]

Janus' eyes were closed as he enjoys how the little girl scratched him under his chin.

When the old lady came back, she had a tray of hot milk. Yun Xue assisted her in distributing the glass of hot milk to the group.

”May I asked if you were looking for the old hermit as well????”

The old lady asked after a while.

The rest of the group was startled when Grandma Lu pointed out their intention too casually.

”There is nothing to be surprised about me knowing your true purpose. Every year, countless itinerants and traveling warlocks were visiting our village in hopes of finding the old hermit, only to leave disappointed.”

As the village located along the terrain of Cloud Mist Ridge, they have long heard about the old hermit as well as the legendary snow dragon.

But to date, no one else has seen them in person. In fact, they were not even sure if they were still alive if they exist in the first place.

”Hundreds of itinerants and travelers had tried their luck on a yearly basis but nota single person succeded in meeting the old hermit. Some of them even went missing, never to return to their families. I'm telling you this so that you can set your expectations accordingly.”

”Thank you for giving us a heads up Grandma Lu.”

Knowing that Grandma Lu was advising them out of goodwill, Long Fuzi clasped his hand and bowed his head to show their appreciation.

”But since we are already here, we might as well try our luck too... Hehe!”

Chan Gu chuckled as he seconded Long Fuzi.

They were aware that meeting the old hermit is not an easy task. Many had tried it before only to return in failure.

But since they have already traveled this far, they might as well push forward a little bit more. Who knows? Maybe lady luck is on their side this time.

”If that's the case then I won't advise you against it anymore. But since it was already dark outside, I suggest you postpone it for now and better stay here for the night, You can resume your journey tomorrow.”

”Thank you Grandma Lu.”

The group did not stand on ceremony and accepted Grandma Lu's offer. After all, this works in their favor as well.

The house was not that huge. It only has two rooms One for Grandma Lu, while the other was for her grandchild, Mayan.

So the group had no choice but to rest in the living room. Grandma Lu was considerate enough to give them thick blankets so they won't get cold in the night.
