On the muddy Official Road, wheels crushed the last of the snow. Coarse hemp rope bit deep into Li Xiang's shoulders. Under such an arduous, heavily laden trek, even someone who had entered a Profession would inevitably find their vitality running dry.

Yet Li Xiang's breathing remained deep and steady. The rise and fall of his chest followed some strange rhythm between heaven and earth, while an ineffably cool current flowed down through the crown of his head, soothing the muscles and meridians that had been taut for days.
