"Ah, how disgusting."

...

There wasn’t any snowfall here, yet Murong could hear the sound of snow landing; there was no ice, but he could hear the sound of his heart shattering like ice crystals.

That night, Murong didn’t eat and didn’t go looking for Yun.

If Yun saw him lying there motionless, he might have thought Murong was falling back into his old habit, trying to starve himself to death.

But by the evening of the third day, Murong suddenly came back to life, a faint smile on his face.

The first time Yun saw him, he had a feeling of being triumphant.

"Did you find your sister?" Yun asked.

"No! Did you have any luck yesterday?" Murong replied.

"Nothing. Just treated someone called Qing after nightfall," Yun said.

"You treated another one?" Murong’s eyes reddened.

But he quickly calmed down.

Seeing this, Yun said, "I think you must have encountered something good."

Murong shook his head, "Not really, just that a senior sister always gives me sweet smiles, and I don’t know what she means by that."

"If she smiles sweetly at you, what else could it mean," Yun remarked.

Murong chuckled, "I’ve inquired about her, she has ’Tian’ (sweet) in her name too. Her name is Li Tian."

Yun exclaimed, "Li Tian? Is it the one with the double ponytails?"

Murong instantly became alert, serious, "You know her?"

Yun nodded, "She’s as cold as a block of ice, as if I’ve offended her. She glared at me fiercely just for sitting down, making me feel awkward whether I sit or stand."

Hearing this, Murong laughed even more heartily.

His winter had finally passed; spring had arrived!

Murong couldn’t help but console, "Ah, you don’t understand; some women don’t like the sight of you, it’s wrong even if you start walking with your left foot first. But if a woman has her eye on you, even if you sit there, taking off your shoes and picking your feet, she’ll think that’s good."

Yun agreed, "That makes sense."

Suddenly Murong became alert again, thinking: "Since senior sister Li Tian has been so sweet to me, she might come looking for me. If I’m not there at that time, wouldn’t Murong have missed the chance to save her?"

Yes, it was also an opportunity to one-up Old Demon Duan in front of him.

This time, he can’t let Old Demon Duan treat her forcibly; he feels he can transform Li Tian with love.

Thinking this, Murong hurried back.

But even when the night fell, senior sister Li Tian still hadn’t come.

"Right, senior sister Li Tian doesn’t seem like a superficial person; how could she come to find me so quickly."

With that thought, Murong decided to go to Yun for a drink and to borrow a comb.

Because he had always been grooming himself, his hair was too robust and beautiful, so much that he had broken the comb.

So Murong returned to Yun’s place.

As he entered, Murong couldn’t help but ask, "No one else is here tonight, right?"

Yun nodded, "No one. If someone else comes, I might not be able to handle it."

Since the maniac with the Thunder True Qi had mostly run out, he could only generate a slow charge at the fingertips; treating one person a day was still exhausting.

He was thinking about finding time to hunt in the wild and transport a couple of the maniacs with Thunder True Qi as reserves.

It was clear that Murong was in a good mood.

After drinking some wine, he grabbed Yun’s comb, ready to go back to sleep.

But just as he opened the door, he shrank back in.

"There’s someone!"

In that instant, both Yun and Murong held their breath.

A moment later, there was a knocking at the door outside.

"Who’s there?" Yun asked.

By then, Murong had expertly slipped under the bed.

"Xu Xian, it’s me."

Moments later, a woman’s icy voice came from outside.

The moment he heard this voice, Murong raised his head, hitting the underside of the wooden bed.

Wasn’t this the voice of senior sister Li Tian?

Yun didn’t know it was Li Tian, and when he opened the door and saw that face, he was startled, thinking the stern-faced woman had come to pick a fight.

"Senior sister, is there something you need?"

"Can’t I come for a visit if there’s nothing? As a member of Qingjian Garden, I have the authority to patrol the rooms," Li Tian said.

"Of course," Yun replied.

By then, Li Tian had confidently walked in, looking around.

Murong’s intense nervousness relaxed slightly.

So she was here for inspection, and she seemed quite fierce.

It seems Li Tian really doesn’t like Yun.

Then, with a click, Murong’s heart tensed up again.

The sound was from bolting the door.

Patrolling the room in the middle of the night - what did bolting the door mean?

Yun was surprised too.

What did this mean – was she going to punish him with malice?

By this time, Li Tian had already naturally sat on the bed.

Looking at Yun, she said, "What, you didn’t really think I was here to inspect your room, did you?"

When she said this, her voice changed, from icy to sweet.

"Don’t be nervous; I just came by to see you," Li Tian said.

Yun, puzzled, "But during the day..."

"Did you think I was cold during the day? That was an act to deceive others. The colder I am to you, the less they will suspect I’d come to you. You must know, there are very few people who can make me cold; you’re a special one," Li Tian explained.

Yun thoughtfully said, "I see."

He hadn’t realized this woman was quite cunning.

Meanwhile, Murong under the bed had his eyes reddened again, forcibly holding back tears by lifting his head so they wouldn’t fall.

The sweet smiles that he could replay hundreds of times in his mind every day were now all blurred.
