The Ice Snow Crystal originates from snowy mountains, it’s not exactly a rare treasure, but exchanging it for a carriage is a bit too extravagant.
This place was not large, and it didn’t take long for the news of Chuzheng exchanging the carriage to spread everywhere.
After that, Chuzheng traded for quite a few other items, behaving generously, just like a wasteful young master from a wealthy family.
In a place like Pingqiu Prefecture, it was easy to attract unwanted attention.
After dealing with two groups of people with ill intentions, Chuzheng returned to the carriage.
Xie Shu was sitting inside the carriage, wrapped in a cloak, a hint of fiery red peeking out from underneath, and his hair hanging down to his chest. He appeared tranquil and serene with his eyes lowered.
When Chuzheng got in, Xie Shu slightly lifted his eyes, which seemed to ripple like the surface of a lake, “Miss Jun, where are you heading?”
“First to the big city up ahead.”
“And after that?”
“I don’t know.”
Xie Shu looked at her, his red lips parting slightly, “…I want to return to the Xie Family of Heavy Snow Night Moon.”
“Alright.”
A tremor fluttered through Xie Shu’s heart.
Chuzheng leaned closer to him, “But there is one condition.”
Xie Shu’s heart sank suddenly, had he been naive again?
He suppressed his disappointment, “Please tell me, Miss Jun.”
“Kiss me once.”
“…Just that?”
“Otherwise?” Chuzheng’s cool gaze fell upon him.
He had thought it would at least be…
Anyway, having kissed so many times already, Xie Shu did not feel embarrassed and took the initiative to lean forward and kiss her.
Xie Shu knew he was asking for a favor, so he made the kiss last nearly five minutes.

“Miss, if we continue forward, we will reach the area where Xuan beasts gather. It might be troublesome to pass through at night.”
A team stopped on a narrow road, and a man dressed in blue stood in front of a carriage, reporting.
The curtains were lifted by a pair of white hands, and the veiled woman, showing a trace of impatience in her features, said frowning, “Find a place to stay overnight.”
“Yes.”
The team set off again in search of a place to settle down.
In this area of wilderness and rugged mountains, they had expected to spend the night in the open air, but unexpectedly, they saw a dilapidated building not far ahead.
What was surprising was that there were people inside.
“Li Liang, are there people ahead?”
The woman’s inquiry came from inside the carriage.
Li Liang, the man in blue, immediately replied, “Yes, it seems they are also passing through.”
“Then let’s stay here for the night,” the woman said.
“Yes.” Li Liang halted the team and headed alone towards the building.
Several men stood outside the building, joking about vulgar matters, their attire not resembling that of people from noble families.
Li Liang made his judgment.
“Brothers.” Li Liang cupped his fist, “I wonder if we could stay here for one night?”
The man sitting at the entrance, chewing on a root, eyeing him with a somewhat blatant gaze as if assessing his strength.
Li Liang released the pressure of a Divine King without changing his expression.
In Dongyuan, Xuan Saints were common. Above them were Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, Divine Sages, and at the pinnacle, the Divine Master.
There’s only one level difference between a Xuan Saint and a Divine King, but the gap is as wide as the difference between heaven and earth. Many stop at being Xuan Saints.
The man stood up, “Wait a moment, I’ll ask.”
Li Liang nodded politely, but inside, he was puzzled. This man was also of Divine King strength, could there be someone behind him?
The man went inside, and it was a while before he came back out, “Sorry, our lady doesn’t like noise. You can’t come inside, but the area outside isn’t our territory, so feel free to do as you please.”
Li Liang frowned. He glanced at the sky, “Brother, it looks like it’s going to rain. Could you make an exception? We should help each other when we’re on the road, maybe create some good karma, right?”
The man scoffed, “What does the rain have to do with us? We said you can’t come in, so you can’t.”
“Brother, we’re people from the Jun Family.” Li Liang had no choice but to play his final card.
“The Jun Family?” The man exchanged a glance with those around him, “Wait here.”
