Chapter 214.1
He had mobilized the nations resources to deal with this ice disaster, pouring in an untold amount of them.
Yet despite all this, the damage from the ice disaster was too great. Not only did people freeze to death, but a large number of livestock, fruit trees, vegetables, etc., made it impossible for work to commence and led to a situation where people could only sit and consume their stored resources.
This was already considered a good outcome; other countries had even experienced internal chaos and a collapse of order, leading to peoples livelihoods being destroyed.
And then, at this time, Great Xia Dynasty was completely unaffected?
There was no wind and no snow, and although the weather was cold, it was within an acceptable range.
Everyone continued to work energetically on construction, and the number of deaths, whether human or animal, was very low.
The entire Great Xia Dynasty had not suffered even the slightest damage from the ice disaster.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
How should he describe this feeling?
Its like a group of brothers in hardship are starving and freezing outside while you alone enter the hall and sit inside, eating hot pot and singing songs, even turning around to mock their helplessness.
Heaven is so unfair! Great Luo Emperor sighed deeply while looking up at the sky.
He felt so frustrated that he wanted to die!
Hes driven mad with envy!
Why did the heavens always, always, always favor Great Xia and that damned Great Xia Emperor?
At that moment, Song Yufei arrived gracefully.
Great Luo Emperor quickly approached her, taking two steps at a time, and asked, Fairy Yufei, it is said that the Great Xia Dynasty was not affected by the ice disaster. Is that true?
It is indeed true! Song Yufei nodded.
Fairy but why? Why are they why are they so favored by the heavens? Great Luo Emperor cried out, his big eyes filled with jealousy.
Our elders in the sect are also puzzled and have sent people to investigate! They suspect that it might be due to the Phoenix Mountain Range blocking the cold air from moving south! Song Yufei explained.
Has it always been like that for winter? Great Luo Emperor pressed.
This Song Yufei hesitated.
Fairy, please speak freely, I can bear it! Great Luo Emperor said solemnly.
So, Song Yufei shook her head, It wasnt always like that! In the past, the Phoenix Mountain Range did block the cold air from moving south, but it wasnt very significant. This time is indeed strange!
Ahh Great Luo Emperor staggered back three steps, crying out in frustration.
People dont fear scarcity but resent inequality!
Everyone struggles through disasters while Great Xia alone remains unscathed. Who can bear this?
Even the most magnanimous Emperor couldnt stand this!
Song Yufei understood Great Luo Emperors feelings very well and tried to comfort him, Your Majesty, you have actually done very well! Among many nations, your losses are the least. It will be alright once you come to terms with it!
Clutching his cold chest, Great Luo Emperor said bitterly, Thank you for your comforting words, Fairy, but how can this be so easily accepted?
He had hoped to overtake him on the corner, but that guy was speeding like he was on the highway. How could he possibly catch up?
Then, they were inspected by the soldiers of Great Xia.
The soldiers of Great Xia, seeing the group dressed in heavy clothes and shivering from the cold, couldnt help but say, Is it really that cold?
This question seemed to touch on the hardships of the people from Great Feng, who began to complain.
Of course its cold! You soldiers wouldnt know! We were almost freezing to death in Great Feng!
The wind howled, the heavy snow poured down, and you still felt cold even if you stayed inside with three layers of quilts and a charcoal fire! A few old men in my neighborhood froze to death just like that!
Many children and adults couldnt survive and froze to death too!
Finally, there was a riot, and many people looted each others supplies to keep warm and food. We really had no other choice but to run here!
Thank goodness Great Xia has been merciful. Otherwise, we really would have had no way out but death!
Really? The soldiers of Great Xia looked at each other.
The winter they experienced was different?
This winter was indeed cold, but it was a bit warmer compared to previous years. There was no wind or snow, and the air wasnt even dry.
Wearing just one cotton garment was generally enough.
They couldnt imagine how these people, wearing three cotton garments, could still get frostbite.
Were they really living through the same winter?
Now, having arrived in the land of the Great Xia Kingdom, the group of refugees gradually began to feel warm.
After taking off one cotton garment, they still felt hot.
So, they took off another one.
After a while, they still felt stuffy and hot.
Only when they were down to one cotton garment did they start to feel comfortable.
Great Xia is so warm!
Yes, in Great Feng, I felt cold even with three cotton garments, but here I feel hot with just one!
I have the same feeling. My ears are much more comfortable!
Haha, we really came to the right place!
Everyone was beaming with joy.
