The mischievous young girl leaped up and landed steadily in front of Xu Chen. Her large eyes stared at the pale and sickly youth in front of her as she asked with concern.

"It didn't hurt you, did it?"

"Nope." Xu Chen patted the snow off his body, but he was not injured.

"Sorry about that." The mischievous girl puffed her cheeks as she glanced at the thatched cottage that had been smashed into ruins, then looked at Xu Chen apologetically.

"No …" Before Xu Chen could finish, he was interrupted by the young girl. She said weakly, "I don't have the money to compensate you."

"No …" Just as Xu Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young girl. She said seriously, "Although I don't have the money to compensate you, I can help you build a new house."

"…" Twice, Xu Chen had been interrupted by this young girl. He smiled and shook his head.

"Please, they don't have any money to pay you back." The mischievous young girl looked pitifully at Xu Chen as she said coquettishly.

Xu Chen was about to say something, but the young girl interrupted him for the third time. "Don't say anything. Let me ask you, if you agree to let me help you build the house, then you can agree. If you don't want my compensation, then just shake your head."

Hearing this, Xu Chen was slightly startled. He didn't know what to say to this young girl in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to say anything.

Since the snow had already stopped falling, Xu Chen wanted to leave this place and have a good look around. This was because his short life and freedom had been exchanged with the lives of others.

He had to be sorry for them. Not to mention that Xu Chen's simple residence had already been destroyed. If he didn't find a place to stay as soon as possible, he would freeze to death and starve to death outside.

Thus, Xu Chen did not say anything. He lightly shook his head, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go. I'll compensate you with money!" Looking at Xu Chen's sorry figure, the mischievous young girl couldn't bear it anymore. She hurriedly waved her hands and called out to him.

"I don't need you to compensate me... "Cough, cough." Without turning his head, Xu Chen could not help but cough a few times before continuing on his way.

"The direction you're going is to enter the mountain. Are you going into the mountain?" The young girl called out from behind Xu Chen.

"If you want to leave the mountain, I'll take you there, but you have to pay me the fare and write off the money for your house, how about that?"

Three beast carriages were slowly moving forward on the vast white mountain. Xu Chen and the mischievous girl were sitting on the beast carriage in the middle.

The beast carriage was ordinary, and was being pulled by a common low-level vein beast. Although the pace was slow, it was steady and the beast hide was very comfortable.

The young lady told Xu Chen that these girls all came from this small town down the mountain to hunt for spirit beasts to earn a commission.

They hid in the snow for many days, squatting in traps for a long time before they finally caught the gray silver wolf and almost let it escape.

Thus, they chased it all the way to Xu Chen's thatched cottage to subdue it. Xu Chen also saw what happened afterwards.

"You can't ask me for money for ruining your house." The playful girl and Xu Chen sat on one of the beast carriages while her other companions sat on the other two carriages.

Ever since they had gotten on the carriage, she had constantly reiterated to Xu Chen that every time he wanted to speak, she would interrupt him.

"Why are you so quiet?" The mischievous girl asked as she looked at the silent Xu Chen.

"You're the one who stopped me from saying it." Xu Chen was a little depressed. This was the first time he had met someone like this. Normally, Xu Chen would have thought that she was very rude, but now, he didn't know why he didn't feel that way at all.

Perhaps it was due to the young girl's mischievousness and cuteness that Xu Chen was unable to resist for the first time. It was hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

"Oh, oh, then go ahead." The girl had big round eyes and a round, cute mouth.

As for Xu Chen, he didn't want to talk anymore. He became silent and closed his eyes to rest.

"What a weirdo, hmph." Seeing Xu Chen's actions, the mischievous girl pouted her lips in anger and turned her head to the side.

However, Xu Chen ignored her, as if he didn't hear her at all.

"Hey, weirdo, what's your name?" The girl pouted for a while, but didn't attract any attention from Xu Chen. She couldn't help but speak up again.

"Xu Chen." Xu Chen gave out his name in a concise and concise manner. He was not worried that others would doubt his origins, because the Northern Territories were extremely large, and there were many people who had the same name.

"Shameless!" After hearing Xu Chen's name, the young girl shot a disdainful glance at him.

"…" Xu Chen was speechless. He did not know why the girl would suddenly scold him, but he did not want to ask.

"Hey, aren't you going to ask me why I said you're shameless?" Seeing Xu Chen's indifferent attitude, the young girl couldn't take it anymore.

"I don't want to ask." Xu Chen said.

"If you don't want to ask, I will tell you!" The girl said angrily, "Do you know who is the most famous person in the Northern Lands?"

"I don't know." Xu Chen's attitude remained the same, as if he was not interested in anything at all.

"No idea!" The young lady rolled her eyes at Xu Chen and continued, "The most famous person in the Northern Lands is called Xu Chen. He is Xu Chen from the Little Heaven Manor's Xu family!"

"You actually have the same name as him. You don't even know him? How shameless." The young girl said in disdain.

"Hur hur." Xu Chen smiled but said nothing.

Sigh. Xu Chen, let me be honest with you. That Xu Chen from the Little Heavenly Mansion is truly powerful. He has ten divine veins. The young girl forcefully explained when she saw Xu Chen's reaction.

As for Xu Chen, he remained unmoved. He closed his eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"That's the Innate Empyrean God Body. There's only been one appearing for tens of millions of years, and no one in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent doesn't know about it. Are you not interested in it at all?" The young girl seemed to be unwilling to give up. She had to correct the ignorance of the person in front of her towards her idol.

He had to instill some of the image of her idol in him!

"Am I going to be interested in him because my name is the same as his?" Xu Chen asked.

"Forget it, I won't say anymore. You're too boring." The girl felt that Xu Chen was too boring and gave up.

"Sigh, actually, my idol died more than ten days ago." The young girl said somewhat sorrowfully.

"I haven't even seen him. I heard from others that someone from the Sky Bearing Empire killed him. When I have strength again, I will definitely avenge my idol!" The young girl was somewhat angry when she heard that Xu Chen had died in the Sky Bearing Empire.

"You want to take revenge for him without even seeing his face?" Xu Chen seemed to be interested in this topic.

"That's because you don't understand him. Although he has ten divine veins, he was destroyed since he was young. He forcefully used his own aptitude to turn the Xu family into a peak power." The young girl said with longing as she placed her hands on her chin.

"Say, do you think that his ability is worthy of admiration? A person who can even cultivate when his body is extremely weak can do so many things."

"If it were me, that would be great." The young girl said with a somewhat dazed expression, "I'm the same as him, I can't cultivate either. His Divine Veins were destroyed, and I was born without a Divine Vein."

"Even if you can't cultivate, you'll be able to live a bit more easily than him. At the very least, you can still live a carefree life, and he is already dead." Xu Chen sighed with emotion.

His words were meant for the young girl and also for himself. In the eyes of others, he was already long dead. He only had 22 days left.

Whether or not he could live for 22 more days was up to the heavens. Perhaps in the next moment, he would die.

"You're right, I can still train in martial arts." The girl's personality seemed to be a bit optimistic. She had just been reminiscing about her idol, but in the blink of an eye, her fighting spirit rose again!

"Cough, cough …" Xu Chen began coughing again, his face turning paler and paler.

"Xu Chen, what's wrong with you?" The young girl asked worriedly when she saw Xu Chen coughing violently.

"I'm fine." Xu Chen took the chance when the young girl wasn't paying attention to take a pill out of his storage ring before he felt better.

"It's really fine?" The young girl asked again and again.

"It's fine, my body has always been like this." Xu Chen's face was pale as he coughed gently. After which, he smiled and said.

"Fine, if you have something to say, then say it, I have the pill." Seeing that Xu Chen did not cough anymore, the young girl did not ask any further questions. After all, they were still not familiar with each other.

"Alright." Xu Chen nodded. He realized that although this girl in front of him was a bit willful, she was still very kind.

After this small incident, Xu Chen was also unwilling to dwell on this issue. He asked, "What realm are you in now?"

Xu Chen didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy towards this young girl.

It was probably because the girl in front of him had shown him her kind intentions earlier.

"I just entered the Body Transformation realm, now I want to save up some money to go to the Eastern Divine Region to learn martial arts." The young girl said with a look of longing on her face.

"The Eastern Divine Region is very far away from the Northern Lands, but it's a good place. It's a paradise for martial arts practitioners." Xu Chen said.

The Northern Lands were the northernmost tip of the Eastern Xuan Continent, while the Eastern Divine Region was in the east, heading towards the Eastern Divine Region from the Northern Lands.

Traveling tens of millions of miles across a continent was indeed a long way for cultivators at the bottom level.

"Eh? You don't even know Little Heaven Manor's Xu Chen? Do you even know the Eastern Divine Region?" The young girl looked at Xu Chen in surprise. Previously, she had really thought that he had hidden himself deep in the mountains and forests.

However, his appearance did not resemble that of a reclusive expert. From the way he dressed and his manner of speech, it could be seen that he looked more like a young master from a certain clan.

When Xu Chen heard what the young girl said, he did not respond. He only smiled and shook his head.

"Oh, by the way, are we friends now?" The young girl suddenly asked with a smile.

"Forget it." Xu Chen replied with a smile.

"Then you won't ask me to compensate you, right?" The young girl giggled as she looked at Xu Chen, as if she had picked up a big bargain.

"Nope." Xu Chen forced a smile as he said this. He never asked her to compensate him.

"That's good!" The girl nodded in satisfaction. "My name is Su Xiao Yue. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
