Luna said, âI donât think theyâd be. This skeleton king was probably eyeing on the Dragon Blood Vines,
and thatâs why it was guarding here! Didnât people say that most precious herbs always have a mythical
creature protecting it? This skeleton king is also considered as one kind of mythical creature.â
However, the cat meowed, expressing its disagreement.
Luna puckered up her lips. She really wanted to kill that white cat.
Even though she was much better after Alex had treated the wound on the back of her hand, women
were beings that hold grudges. Especially a witch like her, there was no exception even if it was a cat.
However, this cat seemed to be a bit mystical. In addition, its background was unknown, so Luna dared
not provoke it for the time being.
Alex took out a map and looked at it. He pointed toward the front. âThereâs a large lake in front. Letâs go
over and take a look first. The sky is getting dark, and we have to find a place to rest before the night
falls.â
After that, he picked up the white cat. âThank you for your help today. Do you have a family?â
âMeow!â
âThen you should be going home, right?â
âMeow, meow!â
âGoodbye to you then. Get going now!â
âMeow, meow!â
âWhat is it? You donât want to go home but follow me?â
âMeow!â
Luna said, âThis cat demon is quite humane. It can actually understand what youâre saying. It seems
like it possesses a little bit of cultivation.â
Those words angered the white cat once again. It hissed at Luna.
Luna was not a simple woman as well. She could even compete with a cat. âWhat? You want to have a
rebellion? I understand now, youâre just a female cat in heat and canât even walk straight when you see
a male. Then, let me tell you something. Heâs my man. If you want to be his pet, youâre going to be
mine too. Otherwise, youâll stay here and donât ever go with us.â
After hearing those words, the white cat unexpectedly kept quiet. It stuck out its tongue and licked
Alexâs fingers.
âLook, you just have to get disciplined to be obedient.â
***
They walked all the way to the large lake.
They did not encounter any danger along the way, but Alex found several rare, old spiritual herbs. He
hurriedly plucked them and put them into his storage purse.
When they reached the lakeside, they accidentally found a small wooden cabin. Judging from its
exterior and style, it must have been constructed by the people of Hygieia Valley.
âHeh! We donât have to camp outside tonight,â said Alex as he smiled.
The few of them rushed over to check out the cabin. To their surprise, the equipment inside was quite
complete. Not only was there a bed and a table, but there was also a deck of poker cards. In the corner
of the room, there was even a hand-cranked generator that was connected to several electric lights in
the wooden cabin.
Soon, the night fell.
Moreover, the temperature dropped drastically. Compared to the inside of the city, the temperature in
the wilderness at night was much lower. It was no wonder there were several large quilts in the
temporary supply station of Hygieia Valley.
Alex and Luna could resist the cold. However, Jasmineâs cultivation base was weak, so she needed the
large quilts to endure the cold.
The night was getting late.
The wind whistled outside, yet they could not hear any sounds of birds, animals, insects or fish.
This made Jasmine feel a little strange. âWhen I came to Spiritual Valley Dungeon previously, I often
heard the roars of the wild beasts. I dared not sleep at the time, fearing the wild beasts would rush in.
But this place is very strange, thereâs no sound of the beasts at all.â
Alex said, âThis is a bit strange. We have encountered several wild animals and many bugs during the
day. Could it be that theyâre all asleep? By the way, do you people feel that the temperature is getting
colder?â
Jasmine, who was covered in thick quilts, said, âYes. Iâm freezing to death soon. How can it be so
cold?â
The lying white cat next to Alexâs feet suddenly perked up its ears. After that, it abruptly jumped up,
extremely alert.
âMeow!â
The white catâs sudden action alarmed the three people.
Alex stood up as well and walked to the door of the cabin to listen carefully. His ear was stuck to the
wooden door.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Alexâs ear was frozen on the door, fortunately Alexâs physique was stronger
than an average person. Otherwise, the skin on his ear would be peeled off.
The temperature was dropping way too fast.
Furthermoreâ¦
âThereâs Yin energy!â
Jasmine was already covered in two layers of quilts at this moment. Luna started to feel unbearable, so
she kept rubbing her hands while standing beside the campfire.
This was not a normal cold.
It was the entering of the Yin energy into oneâs body. Hence, even an expert like her would feel the
unbearable, bone-piercing cold.
