A thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow. Mountains dance like silver snakes, plains gallop like wax elephants. Clad in red and white, exceptionally enchanting... The great man's verses are all magnificent and powerful.

After much deliberation, Wu Chu ultimately had no choice but to adopt this method of learning from others.

Sure enough, composing poems was not his forte.

As for the 'The First Snow of 2002,' Wu Chu selectively ignored it and put Yibao back on his phone. What's with all this messing around? She has no taste whatsoever.

The lake was nearly frozen over, but the Red Giant Fish was still swimming on the ice at the lake's edge, seemingly unwilling to retreat to the bottom of the lake for the winter.

When it saw Wu Chu leap down from the treetop, it also leaped out of the lake and plunged headfirst into the ice, smashing the thin layer of ice to pieces.

In the vast white world, that single point of red stood out starkly.

Seeing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but chuckle. He had originally planned to try ice skating on the ice later! If it kept causing such a ruckus, the lake would never freeze over.

Although the weather was cold and it was snowing, Wu Chu didn't feel particularly cold. He was still wearing the Hemp Robe, which, being Merit Spiritual Treasure, wouldn't wear out unless someone violently damaged it. This alone saved Wu Chu a lot of trouble, although the style of the clothes was a bit too plain.

However, in this primitive and Primordial World, where you rarely see anyone, what difference does it make whether your clothes are old-fashioned or trendy? Who are you wearing them for?

After resolving his personal hygiene issues, Wu Chu called out to Little Moon Spirit, only to see a wisp of mist Yoyo down, without actually seeing Yueling herself.

Wu Chu found it strange, so he jumped onto the cloud, which flew straight up.

"Little Moon Spirit, what's wrong?"

In the kitchen, Little Moon Spirit squatted in front of the stove, staring blankly at the fire. Hearing Wu Chu's voice, Little Moon Spirit looked up at Wu Chu and asked, "Brother A Chu, what's wrong?"

Wu Chu glanced at Little Moon Spirit. Apart from looking a little languid, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her. Thinking about it, it made sense; after all, she was a fairy. If she really had any problems, what could he, an ordinary person at the Innate Realm, do?

You seem a little tired, are you okay?

"I'm fine, it's just that the weather's getting colder, and I feel even less inclined to move around!"

Little Moon Spirit shook her head, sticking out her little tongue with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Wu Chu laughed and said, "That's only natural, don't be embarrassed. Winter is a season for rest, and staying at home is the most comfortable thing."

As he spoke, he found a piece of Dragon Meat, turned around, went to the edge of the treetop, and threw it into the lake towards the red shadow. The red shadow, satisfied with the Dragon Meat, then swam back to the bottom of the lake.

Thanks to Wu Chu's feeding over the past few months, this big guy has grown nearly half again as big as before, and its head has also undergone a very noticeable change.

The once Rolling fish head is now becoming increasingly sculpted. While it might be difficult for it to transform into a dragon's head in time, becoming a dragon's head is just around the corner. Wu Chu silently awaits, wondering what benefits this transformation will bring.

Turning my head, I could see a tender green branch swaying in the wind outside the pavilion.

Those new branches have now grown to be level with the top of the tree. Even though everything has begun to wither and snow is falling, they are still lush and green.

On those branches and leaves, there is an invisible protective layer that is blocking the erosion of wind, snow and cold. Even in the cold winter, the emerald green branches still exude vitality.

Given Little Moon Spirit's listless appearance, Wu Chu lit a stove after breakfast and placed it in the Main Hall. He then closed all the doors and windows on both sides of the Main Hall, keeping the wind and snow out and making the Main Hall feel warm and cozy.

Wu Chu was carving a piece of Purple Jade Spiritwood. Little Moon Spirit lay on the chair for a while, then couldn't resist her curiosity and moved closer to Wu Chu. "Brother A Chu, what are you doing?"

Wu Chu slowly poked at the purple wood with a chisel, chipping away at it with wood chips. Every now and then, he would hold a piece of wood up to his eyes, squinting one eye as he measured it with his gaze. "I'm going to make a pair of Ice Skates. I'll teach you how to skate later, A Chu- ge! It'll be so much fun!"

The chisel was a fragment of the Azure Dragon's Spirit Treasure, and with his strength now far beyond what it used to be, he was able to carve through the hard Purple Jade Divine Tree.

After a pause, Wu Chu added, "I'll make you a pair later too!"

Little Moon Spirit initially didn't want them, because she could easily conjure shoes and such with her magic if she wanted. But in the end, she suppressed the urge to refuse, her lips curving slightly upwards, her large eyes narrowing into crescent moons, and she crisply replied, "Okay!"

In terms of practical skills, Wu Chu is naturally no match for Little Moon Spirit. Although there are Ice Skates templates on her phone, actually making one herself is not so easy.

So he came up with a clumsy method: he used Purple Jade Spiritwood as the soles of his shoes, making the ice skates and soles a single piece. The Purple Jade Spiritwood was hard enough that it wouldn't be easily broken.

As for the shoe upper, it's optional; you can tie it with rope.

Half a day passed, and after the two pairs of Purple Jade Ice Skates were finished, Little Moon Spirit curiously examined her three-inch shoes and asked, "Brother A Chu, how do you walk in these? I can fly, but you..."

Wu Chu chuckled and said, "That's the magic of Ice Skates."

As he spoke, he pulled Little Moon Spirit up, "Come on, A Chu will take you ice skating."

"The snowstorm outside hasn't stopped yet!" Yueling said.

Pushing open the door, Wu Chu glanced at the gray sky outside, where snow was falling heavily, and shook his head. "Forget it, let's go tomorrow! That big lake should be completely frozen by tomorrow."

Little Moon Spirit shook her head and said, "With snow this heavy, it would take several days for the lake to freeze completely. Right now, only the lakeshore is frozen."

Although Wu Chu was somewhat reluctant to connect this world with Earth, he couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard these words.

A few days on Earth is equivalent to several years on Earth!

It's been snowing for several years in a row, this...

It's easy to imagine how difficult life is for ordinary people in this world.

Wu Chu couldn't fathom how the ancestors of the Human Clan had survived those difficult years and successfully continued their bloodline when Empress Nuwa created Human Clan.

Perhaps the ancestors who appeared at the very beginning were not ordinary people, but as humanity continued to develop, more and more ordinary people would certainly appear.

How can ordinary humans survive in such a world?

Perhaps humanity's continuation is truly a blessing from the Heavenly Dao!

At this moment, Yibao jumped out and said, "Master, how about we make a musical instrument? We can make a guitar!"

"A guitar? Don't you think that's out of place?" Wu Chu rolled his eyes at her. "Besides, by this time, Fuxi probably already had the Five-String Qin made!"

"No way! Boss Fuxi wasn't born knowing music..."

"Who says it's impossible? I've heard that the ancestral witch of the witch clan, Dijiang, can even dance to songs! Isn't he a born dancer?"

"..."
