Snow fell silently.
There was no wind.
Snowy peaks stretched on without end, wrapped in perfect stillness.
A husband and wife leaned against each other, opened the window, and watched the snowfall, both silent.
A warm atmosphere brewed in the air.
The wife had dignified features, frost already visible in her hair. Leaning against her husband's arm, she said wistfully, "It has been so long since we quietly watched the snow like this together..."
Her husband already looked old, though he remained vigorous and sharp-minded. He reached out with his withered hand, comfortingly patted the back of his old wife's hand, and slowly said, "I would gladly stay with you forever, watching the snowflakes fall in silence. Do you remember when we first met?"
His wife let out a soft laugh, as though happy memories had appeared before her eyes. "It was snowing then too. You were still such a hotheaded fool, bent on growing stronger and stronger."
"Wasn't I growing stronger so I could be worthy of you? You said that once I reached rank eight, you would marry me. Hehe." The old man smiled, his expression carrying a trace of cunning and a trace of pride.
But the smile on his wife's face faded somewhat, and her brows furrowed slightly. "To tell the truth, I regret it a little. I would rather your cultivation had been lower."
"How could my cultivation be low if I am to be your husband? Do not worry. As long as I refine the Immortal Gu of Heavenly Luck this time, I will be confident of surviving this myriad tribulation. Then the sea will be broad and the sky vast, and I can grow old with you." As he spoke, the old man's gaze gradually sharpened, revealing an imposing aura far beyond ordinary
