Chapter 19 (1/2)

This winter thebreeze bleith traces of chill, like a sharp knife However, thanks to the numerous bonfires lit within the tribe, the cold was kept ahile warmth permeated the whole settlement

For a Mán-cultivator, just the circulation of blood qi was enough to resist the cold However, the majority of the tribe consisted of ordinary tribesmen As such every winter, they venture outdoors less

When they did, thick hide coats were draped over their bodies to help shelter against the cold It was also during this season that the healer in the tribe was the busiest, having to ht the cold

Even Grandpa was involved, during the coldest periods he would unhesitatingly circulate his blood qi to protect the whole tribe from the chill of winter

Treading the snoith , wrapped in a beast hide jacket, walked around the village Watching the familiar faces who sly repel the chill of winter

The houses within the tribe are mostly si winter they cannot coe sheets of beast hide were laid on their exteriors to prevent the entry of the chilly wind

Except these layers of beast hide was unable to adhere very well and thus required frequent adjustments The bonfires in the homes also needed firewood to sustain its flameHence, for most tribesmen, winter proved to be quite the ordeal

Fortunately, no one usually did freeze to death It was only slightly troublesome

Walking, Su Ming arrived at a building that was fenced, guarded by tribese of WuShan Tribe The house’s exterior was laid with thick beast hide, and bonfires burned around it He could feel a mix of warmth and cold as he approached

Su Ming was very familiar with this place It here his contribution of herbs to the tribe over the years were kept As such, the guards flashed a s, and did not obstruct him further

Su Ming s the fence, as he was about to enter the door, a surprised voice came behind him

“Su Ming, when did you return?”

It was a girl’s voice, one which was pleasant like a lark

Su Ming’s feet paused as he turned around He gazed softened when he saw the girl as clad in thick leather She was tall, and the ears were adorned with two delicate white bone rings Her skin was slightly rough, but it could not tarnish her beauty

Her eyes were pro her innocence With joy in her eyes, she quickly ca

“I returned yesterday” Su Ming sirl was the one who maintained his ho’s saze wavered

She wasn’t alone, behind her was a young , evenweather, he merely wore a thin leather jacket, his hair unkeave people an iance

Especially his eyes which dazzled like stars, as though there was a weird toteave one an inexplicable sense of pressure, putting them on alert as if they had seen a fearsome beast

He stood there, with a huge bow on his back He looked at Su Ming, his gaze like arrows
