Snow Tear Cold chuckled and waved his hand, turning to walk away.
Chu Yang silently followed behind. The two walked at a leisurely pace, and Chu Yang didn’t utilize any movement technique, simply walking at an ordinary person's speed. His mind was a chaotic mix of confusion and shock, filled with various emotions...
Just when he began to gather his thoughts to speak, he was suddenly taken aback.
He saw the trees on both sides transform into a blur, continuously retreating. He and Snow Tear Cold still strolled one in front of the other, but this leisurely pace required no effort, and they had somehow already traveled thousands of miles!
Slowly, the weather grew colder.
Then, snow began to fall heavily in front of them.
Drifting down.
Snow Tear Cold finally halted, and before him lay a thick blanket of snow, where one step sank all the way to his waist. Among the white snow, a Purple Bamboo Forest stood elegantly.
The vast expanse was covered in white snow, but this patch of Purple Bamboo Forest was strikingly eye-catching. Although mostly buried under the snow, the purple hue was enough to stir emotions in one's heart.
Thick snow pressed down on the bamboo branches, occasionally falling with a soft rustle, and the originally bent branches would suddenly shake and straighten up again.
This scene before him was so similar to the place of their first encounter in his past life!
Chu Yang stood in a daze, staring at the Purple Bamboo Forest. He seemed to see a graceful red shadow about to step out of the forest, landing on the white snow. Upon seeing him, there was a moment of surprise, followed by a blush as she said, “I’m sorry for the disturbance, sir.”
Snow Tear Cold leisurely stepped into the Purple Bamboo Forest, waved his sleeve, and suddenly, the three zhang of snow beneath his feet turned into ice and jade, slowly rising to form a platform; it was as if someone beneath was gently lifting it up.
Then, two identical jade chairs emerged in front of them, made of ice, yet surprisingly exuding warmth like Warm Jade.
On the jade platform, a jug of wine and two cups suddenly appeared.
The fragrance of the wine wafted through the air, steaming warmly.
Surprisingly, it was already warmed.
Everything appeared out of nowhere, more magical than conjuring tricks.
“Brother Chu, please!” Snow Tear Cold took his seat in the chair that belonged to him, just as in their past life.
Chu Yang naturally sat opposite him.
He felt the icy chair beneath him was surprisingly warm, driving away all the cold within a radius of three zhang. It was as if spring had come, with a pleasant climate.
Yet, they were clearly in a snowy landscape.
Chu Yang suddenly felt as if he were in a dream.
“This is a minor divine ability called ‘Proximity of Decay and Prosperity’,” Snow Tear Cold smiled and said, “Brother Chu, do you find this scene familiar?”
Chu Yang smiled faintly with a hint of nostalgia: “Indeed, it feels familiar.”
Snow Tear Cold smiled lightly and poured a cup of wine for Chu Yang. The steam rose from the wine, and a few sparrows chirped as they descended, circling around the cups, reluctant to leave.
A smile appeared on Snow Tear Cold’s face as he waved his hand, and some grains scattered on the snow, causing the sparrows to nod and eagerly peck at the grains, focused on eating.
“Who exactly are you?” Chu Yang asked softly, his gaze fixed on the sparrows.
“Who am I…” Snow Tear Cold chuckled softly, shaking his head casually, “Let’s drink.”
Chu Yang raised his cup and noticed the greenish liquid in the cup was somewhat thick. He gulped it down; an intense warmth surged through him, as if he were on fire, and he immediately broke into a sweat, even catching a whiff of a foul odor.
Snow Tear Cold laughed heartily, blew lightly, and the unpleasant smell instantly dissipated.
Only leaving Chu Yang feeling an indescribable comfort from the inside out.
“This is my wine,” Snow Tear Cold explained slowly, “After I brewed this wine, I traveled the world. By the time I returned, it had turned into a wine paste. What you’re drinking now is diluted with water.”
