Chapter 225: Houtu Blood Zhurige didn't respond to me again, making me think for a moment that she hadn't heard what I said. Later, when I was about to repeat myself, Qian Deli quietly tugged at my sleeve. Kuba was observant enough to invite us to rest in separate yurts, claiming that the charcoal in the large yurt was running low and he needed to fetch more. Feeling a bit rebuffed, I tucked the Horse-Head Blade into my belt and stepped out. As soon as we left the yurt, Qian Deli pulled me aside and…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 214: The Boss I didn't quite understand, so I asked him to elaborate. Qian Deli coughed twice, glanced toward the door, and lowered his voice. "I used to do business and made some friends around here. While we were drinking, I heard them say that in villages nestled against the mountains like this, you have to lock your doors and windows tight once winter hits. No matter what noise you hear at night, you can't open the door. That's because the noise likely isn't made by a person, but most…

- Chapter 215: Ill Intentions The moment he spoke, those words took me by surprise. I immediately looked at the bridle he was holding and noticed that its spiked mechanism seemed identical to the one hidden inside Lu Ayao's white whip. The man looked calm and moved with a light, agile poise, like a trained martial artist. His hair hadn't been cut in a while and was quite long; to keep it neat for action, some of the stray locks had been braided. He was likely a member of the Lu Clan. I looked at Lu…

- Chapter 216: The Factory I was astonished that he would say such a thing right to my face, leaving me at a loss for words. Lu Qianshan's voice wasn't loud, but the place was deathly quiet, making it obvious that he was set on humiliating me in front of everyone. I wasn't someone who cared deeply about saving face. Had it been He Yu in my place, he would have gladly traded three hundred rounds of insults with him. Sitting beside me, Old Qian heard the commotion and tried to step in to smooth things…

- Chapter 217: Guhua Pavilion According to Chen Canghai, there was very little information available regarding Northwest Outdoor from the last century. Its predecessor was a munitions factory that supplied military equipment to higher-ups, so all records of its previous incarnation were reduced to ashes when it was removed from the system. Later, the original site was acquired, which was how the name Northwest Outdoor came to be. The logging camp where we now stood was the former site of Northwest…

- Chapter 218: The Linhu Expedition "Since Northwest Outdoor has turned into such a mess, and the snow is so thick, there's definitely more than one Man-Bear in these woods. These things are wicked and known for being fiercely vengeful. We just killed one, and if we stay here, we might face retaliation from its entire lineage. If you ask me, we should pack up and head back early instead of freezing out here for nothing." He Yu rubbed his hands together vigorously. The guy had clearly wanted to leave…

- Chapter 219: The Guide of Yesteryear Qian Deli pointed to a spot on the map, and we all crowded in to look. It was a massive region within Ulanqab. In a place that vast, one would normally have to hire a local guide; back then, my great-grandfather Ye Yuzhu had only been able to find the location thanks to the group of experts he had gathered. Thinking of this, I stole a glance at the people sitting around the campfire. One was a semi-invalid who was basically deaf in one ear; one was a rebellious…

- Chapter 213: A Midnight Knock at the Door I asked him, "Why did you bring a bowl along?" He Yu snorted, clearly dissatisfied with my question. "I asked the guesthouse for it yesterday. Can't you try to eat with a little more care? When you're out in the field, how can you work if you don't eat well? It seems I'm the only one worrying about our basic needs. You? You're completely unreliable." Muttering under his breath, he poured a packet of soup base from a vacuum bag into the bowl and added some…
