Chapter 77 Let's Go Around in Circles Together (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  The winter sky, although clear, still exudes a coolness, but for the barbarians, this cold can be tolerated, and now even in winter, it is almost over.

  It's as if winter didn't want to leave, wanting to remind the living things on earth that it was still there, and snowflakes began to float in the sky.

  The snowflakes were small at first, but soon they fell in large flakes, as if sweeping across the sky and earth, amidst the sudden gusts of wind, amidst the wailing wind sounds, swirling in all directions.

  At noon, the snow was already very big, although it couldn't be said to be covering the sky and earth, but the snow blown by the wind made the sky dark, as if the earth had suddenly become gloomy.

  Su Ming walked on the streets of Mudstone City, snowflakes pattering against his face, landing on his clothes and hair, some even seeping into the animal hide that covered his head, falling onto the tip of his nose.

  The snow came suddenly, and Su Ming hadn't even had time to return to the Wu Shan Department's residence here before he was blocked by the increasingly heavy snow, which cut off all paths forward and backward. In the snow, Su Ming quickly took a few steps, leaving behind a line of footprints, but they were soon filled in by the falling snow, erasing all traces.

  This might be the last snow of this winter.

  Su Ming's exhaled breath, in the snow, was like white mist. After a moment, when he was sure no one was following him, he circled around several times and returned to his residence. The wind was stronger, the snow was heavier. At the door of his room, Su Ming stomped his feet hard, shaking off the snowflakes on his body, and walked into the house.

  The room was much warmer than outside, and after closing the door, Su Ming took off the animal hide that wrapped his entire body, putting it aside. He also put down the many leather bags filled with medicinal herbs on his body, and after circulating the Qi and blood to dispel the chill, he sat cross-legged on the ground, taking out the damaged small bag he had exchanged for earlier, examining it carefully.

  "This bag is amazing, it can hold so many things... but that backpack was sold to me so easily, I think there must be some ulterior motive... " Su Ming's eyes flashed, he had been suspicious before, and now the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the backpack's actions were not quite right.

  After some thought, he took out some unused herbs and put them in the bag, then tried to take them out again without finding anything amiss.

  "Still, I'd better be careful, after all, these herbs are my everything. If something unexpected happens once they're inside, it'll be ruined..." Su Ming scratched his head and decided not to think about this matter anymore, planning to wait for a few days until everything calmed down before asking Grandpa to take a look at the object.

  He put away the small bag, sat cross-legged on the ground, and while circulating his internal energy, slowly immersed himself in the dark and violent technique. He had to seize every moment to practice this technique so that he could use it in actual combat.

  As for his original plan to go to Mudstone City again and see if there's anything else he wants to buy, it was cancelled due to the heavy snow outside.

  Outside the room, the wind and snow howled, while inside, Su Ming sat cross-legged in silence. Time slowly passed, and soon the sky outside had entered dusk. In the past when it didn't snow, the outside was still quite bright at this time of day, but today it seemed to have a dark tone, making it impossible to see very far away. All that could be seen were the falling snowflakes, which gave off a silver glow in the near distance due to their presence.

  The snow at this moment was still very big, and after a short while, Su Ming, who had been sitting cross-legged, moved his ears and stood up to push open the door. He saw Beiluo and others walking in from outside.

  These people today did not gossip like yesterday, perhaps the wind and snow were too big. After Beiling swept Su Ming with a glance, he hurried to his own room. Wula's expression was somewhat downcast, as if he couldn't muster up any enthusiasm, and also returned to his house.

  Only Lei Chen walked towards Su Ming with a warm smile and approached him, looking like he wanted to tell him about today's events.

  As for Zuo, he was frowning, seemingly thinking about what to write, occasionally looking up at the sky with a worried expression. Shanhe still had that cold and indifferent look on his face, no longer paying attention to Su Ming, and returned to his room.

  "Su Ming, today's second trial is extremely intense! The ratio of strength and speed has a great relationship with one's cultivation!"

  "Ye Wang is indeed the number one junior of Fengquan, he's too strong, far surpassing Chen Chong who ranked second! And that Heishan Department's Bi Su, this person is absolutely our greatest enemy, he ranked third, his cultivation should be around the seventh layer of Congealing Blood, extremely powerful!"

  "It's a pity Mo Su didn't show up, otherwise it would have been more interesting."

  "Alas, I didn't make it to the top 50, and neither did Wula. Only Beiling made it, ranking 49th. This second round was quick but had a lot of momentum!"

  It is said that the third round will be held three days later, and the third round will be a real battle, which should be more intense.

  Lei Chen was excited, and in Su Ming's room, he talked for a long time, recounting the events and experiences of the day. He still wanted to say something more, but seeing that Su Ming seemed uninterested, he said a few more words before yawning and leaving.

  He also participated in the trial today and is now somewhat tired.

  After Leicheng left, when the dusk passed and the wind and snow outside subsided a bit, Su Ming stood up, his heart pounding with excitement and tension, and walked out of the room.

  This time, Shanhe didn't appear. Su Ming walked out of the Wu Mountain Department's residence. The sky was dark, but the earth had a silver glow. Snowflakes fell, giving Su Ming an indescribable feeling.

  Walking in the wind and snow, after a long time, Su Ming changed his appearance, transformed into Mo Su, near the residence of the Wudang Department, standing there, he waited.

  Time slowly passed, the wind and snow remained, in the continuous falling, the gate of the Wulong tribe silently opened, from inside revealed Baili's beautiful face, she was wearing a white dress, with fur trim at the collar, looking very beautiful.

  She lifted her head and took a glance, when she saw Su Ming, her pretty face immediately showed shyness, but couldn't hide the joy, quickly walked a few steps forward, and came to Su Ming's front, the two exchanged a smile.

  "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" Bai Ling said softly.

  "No, I just arrived too." Su Ming scratched his head, looking at the white spirit in front of him. This was the most beautiful person he had ever seen since he grew up, especially in the snow, White Spirit's slightly red cheeks, flashing eyes, and the hint of shyness in her gaze made Su Ming's heart beat even faster.

  "What are you looking at... silly, aren't you supposed to be going for a walk?" Bai Ling's face turned even redder, but she didn't avoid Su Ming's gaze, instead blinking her eyes and smiling lightly.

  "Ah, yes, haha." Su Ming rubbed his nose, and amidst Bai Ling's laughter, the two gradually walked away into the distance in the snowy wind.

  Until the two figures disappeared in the wind and snow, in the residence of Wulon Department, Si Kong had a complicated face, with a heart wanting to go out and take a look, but finally he just sighed.

  In the same Wulong tribe, the old woman sat cross-legged in her room. She knew that Bailian had gone out, but she didn't stop him. In her opinion, if Bailian could be with Mo Su, it would be the best choice.

  The wind was howling, the snow was flying high, and in that snowy storm, Su Ming and Bai Ling walked side by side on the small road of Mudstone City. The snowflakes danced around them, shimmering with an enchanting crystal light, falling onto the eaves of houses, and covering every building around them, making this place seem like a world made entirely of snow.

  There were few pedestrians on the snowy night, and Su Ming was very nervous all the way. He was not as calm as when he met Bai Ling before. It wasn't until his hand was held by Bai Ling that he felt the sweat and tenderness in her palm, which made him feel a little better, and then he grasped Bai Ling's small hand tightly.

  Baili lowered her head, and the blush on her face was reflected in the snow, very beautiful, very beautiful.

  "Let's go around in circles together..." Su Ming said softly, squatting down, and Bai Ling's face showed a shy smile as she leaned on Su Ming's back. The warmth coming from Su Ming's body made her very happy.

  Su Ming smelled the faint scent coming from behind him, feeling Bai Ling's warm and delicate body, took a deep breath, and his body charged forward rapidly, directly leaping over the distant earthen wall and leaving the city.

  Bai Lingfang's heart was racing, and she could also feel Su Ming's heartbeat. She felt Su Ming running, facing the wind and snow, on the plain outside the Windy City tribe, in the quietness of the desolate surroundings, getting farther and farther away with each step.

  Snowflakes fell on them, but didn't make them feel cool, instead it was the warmth in their hearts that seemed to spread all around. Outside the city, Su Ming's appearance changed, transforming from Mo Su into himself.

  "Bailin, I feel like you've gained some weight..." In the snowy night, Su Ming's laughter revealed his delight.

  "Preposterous!" Bai Ling was immersed in the warmth coming from Su Ming's back, and upon hearing this, she immediately glared at him with wide eyes and pinched him hard.

  Su Ming ate the pain, but his laughter became even more joyful. His body suddenly jumped up, causing Bai Ling to let out a cry of surprise before continuing to run forward. The laughter that came from him and Bai Ling's scolding voice intertwined together, revealing a sense of beauty.

  Happy times always pass quickly, before they knew it, it was already deep in the night. Su Ming and Bai Ling walked hand in hand in the snow, speaking softly, as if there were endless words to say. The laughter that occasionally came from them also represented beauty.

  The snow continued to fall, falling on their bodies and hair, making the two people's hair look like it was about to turn white from a distance.

  I don't know if on this snowy night, the two of them would continue walking like this all the way to old age, or perhaps... once a vast ocean, now just a sigh.

  "Do you still remember that night on Wushan Mountain, when it was also snowing..."

  "I remember, I recall that at that time your hair was all dyed white by the snow."

  "You've also become an old lady."

  "You said, if we keep walking in the snow like this, won't we end up with white hair..." Bai Ling's voice was weak and gentle, as she pulled on Su Ming's hand, speaking softly.
