The Ancient King's Request

The return journey was relatively smooth. With the arrival of heavy snow that had closed the mountains, many creatures of the Tianshan had naturally retreated to their burrows and continued to wander outside. Who knows if they would be able to find their way back to their own doorsteps?

Once you leave the Tianshan, you don't need to follow the Tianshan Great Rift Valley exactly. Just head straight for lower altitudes and try to get out of the heavy snow that has closed the mountains. Everything else will be fine.

The higher the altitude, the more terrifying the snow and ice cover becomes. Often, the snowfall is like a slow-moving avalanche, starting from the highest point of the Tianshan and reaching all the way to the meadow layer, including the desert layer, turning it silvery white. At that time, most cold-resistant creatures will find it difficult to survive, not to mention many outsiders without cold resistance, such as humans.

Finally back in Wanggui Town, unlike the others who needed time to recover before taking a hot bath, he and Apas immediately started "entertaining" in the water!

Indeed, people are just people; living in such a desolate place is truly unbearable.

Not to mention him, even Apas is increasingly longing for life in the human world...

However, Apas didn't really enjoy taking baths; she only enjoyed the warm water for a few hours before heading back to her room.

For this lazy beauty, it's been several days since she's had a proper beauty sleep, which is a disaster!

Plus, she just had an extra meal in the bathtub, so she's incredibly sleepy now.

Apas went back to sleep, but Tang Miao did not leave.

For him, staying in that bucket of water at a consistently warm and comfortable temperature is true enjoyment.

"Thump!"

Just as Tang Miao was enjoying herself, the wooden sliding door was opened...

Tang Miao initially thought it was Apas lingering, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Ningxue carrying a wooden tub filled with towels, perfume, and clothes. Her long, sexy, and alluring silver hair was styled up, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face and long, swan-like neck. Most importantly, she seemed to be preparing for a bath and was wearing a very languid, low-cut slip dress, the thin fabric unable to conceal her ample bosom.

Upon seeing Tang Miao, Mu Ningxue paused before asking, "Why are you still here?"

There's nothing to be surprised about; after all, everyone needs a nice, relaxing hot bath these days...

"Of course, it's so I can adjust the water temperature for you."

Although she had just looked exhausted, Mu Ningxue clearly had some ability to control her fatigue.

"I just want to take a bath," Mu Ningxue said, looking at Tang Miao.

"Yes, of course, just a bath." Tang Miao quickly nodded in agreement.

One hour later...

Mu Ningxue lay by the bathtub, silently thinking... Men's words are lies!!

Tang Miao, having soaked in the bath all day and emerging refreshed, found Ai Jiangtu and the others lying listlessly, seemingly still recovering.

"Looking at you all, all I know is that you went to the Tianshan; anyone who didn't would think you'd been through some great war."

Zhao Manyan said discontentedly, "Boss Tang, you're like a dog!"

"Damn it, Zhao Manyan, are you out of your mind? How dare you curse me?"

"Don't you know the soundproofing here is terrible?!" Zhao Manyan showed no fear whatsoever, instead glaring at Tang Miao with obvious displeasure.

"Forehead..."

"Can't you be a decent human being?! Do you know how we've survived this day?!" Zhao Manyan increasingly agitated, seemingly ready to unleash a torrent of energy at Tang Miao, this guy who had no regard for women...

Okay, he's just thinking about it.

After all, talking is one thing, but taking action is another. If he does fight, he'll definitely be the one who gets beaten up; there's no doubt about it...

After Ling Ling returned, she devoted herself to studying the Totem Mark on the Little White Tiger, and sure enough, she discovered that the Little White Tiger was indeed the closest to the Sacred Beast White Tiger...

At dinner, plate after plate of braised beef littered the large, messy dining table. The Little White Tiger had completely transformed into a gluttonous little pig, eating so much it was a disgrace to the tiger clan. Its belly was about to burst, yet it was still stuffing more into its mouth. What was even more ridiculous was that when it couldn't eat anymore, it did what many spineless Wangxing people do: it found a secluded spot in the grass or mud, dug a hole, hid the braised beef, and then ran away as fast as it could, as if afraid someone would discover its treasure.

Around the large table in the restaurant, Tang Miao, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Yu, Nan Jue, Ai Jiangtu, Guan Yu, Ling Ling, Jiang Shaoxu stared at each other, just like when they first met by chance, none of them wanting to say anything.

Apas, on the other hand, found the Little White Tiger quite interesting.

After the meal, they each returned to their own rooms...

Whether everyone was resting peacefully that night, no one knows.

At least Tang Miao showed no sign of settling down.

After another day of rest, the group parted ways.

Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, Guan Yu, and Jiang Yu were going back to the north, while Tang Miao and the others were naturally going back to Moon Snow New City.

Having just returned to Moon Snow New City and rested for less than a day, Mo Fan arrived with a soul entity.

The soul form is naturally the Nine Nether Queen who remained in the Ancient Capital.

"Oh, Young Master Tang, it's been a long time~" Nine Nether Queen's sweet voice rang out as soon as she appeared.

Anyone who didn't know she was a ghost would probably be drawn to her.

"Why aren't you in your Tomb Palace? What are you doing in the human world?"

Tang Miao was quite curious about the arrival of the Nine Nether Queen.

After all, hadn't he already sent that woman to Zhan Kong after encountering her before?

"The King wants your help," Nine Nether Queen seeing that Tang Miao was not affected by her at all.

"What does he need my help with?" Tang Miao sat up from his recliner.

"Your Majesty's war in the Underworld is progressing smoothly, but Khufu seems to be plotting something... Your Majesty is not worried about the Underworld. However, the woman who lives near the Ancient Capital is a cause for concern. Therefore, he hopes that you can bring Qin Yu'er to Moon Snow New City..." Nine Nether Queen revealed her purpose.

Qin Yu'er is, after all, human, and there is no way she can live in a place inhabited by the dead.

Therefore, when Tang Miao took her to see Zhan Kong arranged for her to stay in a village near the Ancient Capital.

Right now, the war in the underworld is raging fiercely, Khufu seems to be a grasshopper in autumn, which is why Zhan Kong is worried about Qin Yu'er.

Did you bring her with you?
