Chapter 233: Beginning of the New Year
At the break of dawn, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the gloomy clouds and fell upon the vast white earth.
In Shuisheng Village, the smoke from the morning hearth gradually rose.
Although the New Year's Eve had just passed and the children who kept vigil until midnight were still fast asleep, the happy children got up early and ran out of their homes to show off their new clothes to their little neighbors.
For the children, new clothes and sumptuous food were the greatest joy.
Even the host, upon seeing the abundance of grains and rice and the newly added furniture at home, couldn't help but show a happy expression.
In the Hanyu mountain, a girl named Xiao Ai pushed open the door and walked outside.
What she saw was a vast expanse of white.
Though not thick, the snow had turned the area in front of the Wolf God Temple pure white.
Gu Yan and the fat bird were standing shoulder to shoulder on a treetop, sound asleep. However, after a night of snowfall, their heads and bodies were covered in snow.
"Um..."
Xiao Ai looked somewhat bewildered at this scene, subconsciously looking up at the top of her head.
In the sky, the huge vortex cloud was still slowly rotating.
But there shouldn't be snow under this vortex cloud, yet there was a heavy snowfall now?
Xiao Ai hesitated and looked towards the white clothed man standing with arms behind his back within the snowy scene, carefully calling out.
"The Wolf God, this snow..."Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
"Hmm, I made it snow," Lu Heng turned around with a smile and said, "How about it? Isn't the snowy scenery beautiful?"
Xiao Ai nodded instinctively, but still felt puzzled.
"But how could there be snow under the dark clouds...?"
Could it be that the Wolf God scattered the dark clouds last night?
However, there was a great commotion when the dark clouds gathered and dispersed. She could not have been unaware.
The little girl was still puzzled.
Because it could feel that after Xiao Ai heard the words of the Wolf God, her eyes became subtly colder...
After finishing with Sun Yan's affairs, only then did Lu Heng turn to Xiao Ai and said, "During my retreat, if there are any visitors, we need to entertain them well."
"After the news of the South Sea incident spreads, there may be some cultivators who come with various intentions."
"These visitors from beyond the mountains, I leave them in your capable hands."
"But good hospitality doesn't mean compromising or giving in. If you come across impudent individuals, you may chase them away."
Lu Heng chuckled, "If Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie come, please inform me and I will personally receive them."
"However, other than these two individuals, I entrust other visitors to you."
Between the snowy ground in front of the Wolf God Temple, Lu Heng carefully explained a series of matters to Xiao Ai that needed attention.
For a child of her age, many matters were too complex.
However, Lu Heng was very reassured about Xiao Ai.
After explaining the matters of seclusion, Lu Heng took Sun Yan and Xiao Ai to the peach garden behind the mountain and buried the Elder Tao's life-repairing peach wood cane within it for thousands of years.
This peach wood cane contains a rich vitality and its source is similar to that of the peach trees in the peach garden.
After using sky thunder to generate cracks on the peach wood, Lu Heng now buried the cane underground. Through the cracks generated by the sky thunder, the vitality inside the cane will continuosly diffuse and nourish the peaches in the orchard.
In this way, perhaps it will accelerate the ripening of the entire orchard's peaches.
The protector of the Peach Orchard was entrusted to the lazy fat bird by Lu Heng.
Gu Yan and Sun Yan are too rebellious, it's impossible for them to guard the peach garden.
Although Xiao Ai has a mild temperament, she is in charge of all the mountain affairs, she cannot always focus on the small peach garden.
Therefore, Lu Heng handed over this peach garden to the lazy fat bird.
The fat bird had no objection to this.
Even if Lu Heng promised to give it the biggest peach when the fruits were ripe, the lazy fat bird remained indifferent.
That's how Lu Heng left after giving all the instructions and returned to the divine palace underground.
This time, he must open the heavy heavenly gate and step into the realm of true cultivation...
