As long as there was soul power to support them, Tianrong would not feel tired. They went all the way north and walked in a hurry for a whole day.

The closer you get to the north, the colder it becomes. At sunset, heavy snowflakes fly from the sky, and the whole world is pure white. Tianrong's amber body seems to be the only color.

"Where did we run to?" Jiang Chaoge said shivering, his face pale with cold.

Tianrong stopped, "I don't know." He shook the three people off his back, jumped up to a tall bare tree, and looked into the distance, "There is a city ahead."

"Go and have a look. If you don't keep warm by the fire, I'll have to have my leg amputated."

"What is amputation?"

Yu Renshu and Zhi Xuan asked in unison.

Zhi Xuan glared at Yu Renshu, who was confused.

"My limbs are disabled for some reason and have to be chopped off. If I keep freezing like this, my hands and feet will be disabled."

Yu Renshu coughed lightly, "Squeamish alien."

Jiang Chaoge saw that his lips were split from the cold, and he didn't bother to sarcastically say, "Let's go, I just want to eat a hot meal now."

They rushed and climbed onto Tianrong's back and ran towards the city not far away.

It was a somewhat dilapidated town, sparsely populated, and paired with the desolate and cold snowy scenery, it looked particularly desolate.

Tianrong returned to his human form, and even changed his hair to black. The four of them walked towards a lit inn.

Jiang Chaoge knocked on the door for a long time before the door opened tremblingly. An old man held an oil lamp and looked at them. When he saw Tianrong, he was surprised and said: "Sir, you wear so little, you are not afraid of freezing to death... Oh, sir, you are actually

Let your children wear so little clothes! Come in!"

Jiang Chaoge looked at the sleepy Zhi Xuan in his arms and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

They entered the house and looked at the fire in the fireplace. Jiang Chaoge's numb body was slowly regaining consciousness. He felt pain like pins and needles in his hands and feet. He was not kidding when he said that. If he continues to freeze like that, he might

What a waste.

This inn is very old, with tattered tables and chairs, and the floor hasn't been swept for an unknown amount of time. It has a strange smell that hits my nose.

Yu Renshu frowned, "Is this the only inn in this town?"

The old man said: "It's not just this family, but my family is the best."

Yu Renshu's frown deepened.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Eat, bring up whatever good food you have."

"Okay, you guys can do it later."

The four of them sat on the creaky chairs and warmed themselves up by the fire, fantasizing about hot soup and hot dishes. No matter how dirty this place was, it was still better than the ice and snow outside.

They rested for a while, and a seven or eight-year-old girl came out of the kitchen, holding a big bowl in both hands, put it on the table, and then stared at him with a look that made people feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Chaoge asked her what she wanted to do with his eyes.

The little girl was silent for a long time, then raised her finger and pointed at them, "You are not human."

Zhi Xuan turned his head and glared at her, making her shrink her shoulders in fright.

Yu Renshu said: "How do you know?"

"I know."

"Do you have soul consciousness?" Yu Renshu asked: "Why didn't you go to the martial arts academy?"

The little girl shook her head, "What is a martial arts academy?"

The old man also followed and put the soup noodles on the table, "Hey, how can I have the money to send her to the martial arts academy?"

"Why not go to the nobles to borrow money?"

"All the capable people in this town, let alone the nobles, have moved away. There is not even a wealthy family to be found within a radius of three hundred miles. We cannot afford long-distance travel, so we can only make do here."

"Why did this town become so depressed?"

There was a hint of fear on the old man's face, "On Danxun Mountain not far from here, there lives a group of man-eating ear rats. They come down the mountain from time to time to cause trouble. They are so powerful that many soul soldiers who went up the mountain never come down. They are slowly getting worse and worse."

No one dared to go up there. People in the town were afraid and gradually moved away."

"What is an ear rat?"

Yu Renshu said: "It is a kind of mouse with a rabbit head and elk ears. Its wings and tail are connected together, and it can fly at low altitude. A single one is not very powerful, but if there are many..."

The old man nodded and said: "There are many, they are all over the mountain. In winter, they do not hibernate. If there is lack of food on the mountain, they will come down to eat people."

"Is there no one in charge? Why don't you go find Qi?"

"This is the junction between the central and northern parts. It is also a semi-abandoned town. The guardian families in any area don't want to take care of it." The old man shook his head. "I don't know when we will be eaten too." After finishing speaking,

, led his little granddaughter away.

Yu Renshu said dissatisfied: "This is a failure of the local guardian family to do its duty. I must..." Halfway through his words, he remembered that he was no longer the third prince, but just a wanted criminal, and his face suddenly darkened.

Jiang Chaoge took a sip of noodles and said, "We are just passing by, don't think too much about it, just leave some money for him when you leave and let him move away."

"What about the rest of the town?"

Jiang Chaoge asked, "Can you take them all away?"

Yu Renshu lowered his eyes and buried himself in his meal. As soon as he took a bite, his expression changed, "What is it, is it for human consumption?"

Jiang Chaoge teased: "The squeamish third prince."

Yu Renshu's face turned red and he started to eat.

After Jiang Chao Ge finished eating, he went to buy a jug of wine for Zhi Xuan from the old man. Zhi Xuan threw the jug of wine after just one sniff.

Jiang Chaoge grabbed it and said, "Don't waste it. Drinking it can ward off the cold."

"What a bad wine, I want good wine."

Yu Renshu said: "A hundred miles further north of Danxun Mountain is the largest city after entering the north - Qiuru City. There will be good wine there."

Zhi Xuan hit Jiang Chaoge's chest hard with his head, with an angry look on his face.

Jiang Chaoge said with a smile: "When we get to Qiurucheng, I will definitely buy you good wine."

After the two of them finished eating, their bodies had warmed up a lot, and they planned to go upstairs to sleep. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The old man yawned and went to open the door, muttering: "It's weird, usually half a month is too late."

No one."

They became alert and looked toward the door.

A short man walked in. He was wrapped in a fur cloak, wearing a thick felt hat, and his face was wrapped in a scarf, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes, which looked very young.

He shook off the thick snow on his body, glanced across the inn, stayed on them for a moment, then moved away, then walked straight to the table next to him and sat down.

Jiang Chaoge and Yu Renshu looked at each other, neither daring to relax. They could feel this man's soul power.

The man took off his cloak, hat, and untied his scarf, and turned out to be a handsome boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with fiery red hair, blue eyes, and a strangely harmonious tone that ranged from cold to warm. His face was as white as porcelain.

Her eyebrows are raised upward, giving her a rather fierce look.

Tianrong wrinkled his nose, sniffed hard, and then glanced at Zhi Xuan, who seemed to be thinking about something too.

The old man walked up to the young man and asked, "Sir, do you want food or accommodation?"

"Both." The boy's voice has not changed yet, his voice is clear and childish.

"Wait a moment." The old man muttered what a coincidence it was today and walked into the kitchen.

The young man turned his face and looked at them coldly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Chaoge was full of wine and food, and on a whim, he asked: "Why are you running around in such a remote place alone?"

The young man snorted and ignored them. He took off his backpack, took out the wine bottle, and took a sip of wine to ward off the cold.

Zhi Xuan's eyes widened and he said rudely: "Give me your wine."

The young man frowned and glanced at Zhi Xuan, "What are you drinking, kid?"

Zhi Xuan said sharply: "Fool, give me the wine!"

Jiang Chaoge pushed Zhi Xuan back to his seat and took out a silver coin from his arms, "Brother, how about buying the wine in your hand?" He saw that the young man's clothes were old and he probably did not belong to a wealthy family.

The young man glanced at the silver coin, closed the lid of the wine bottle, and threw it over. Jiang Chaoge caught it and threw the silver coin over.

Zhi Xuan poured the wine into the bowl, took a big gulp, and wiped his mouth with satisfaction, "This wine is good, I have never drunk it. Hey, where did you buy it?"

"This is Magpie God Wine. It is brewed in my hometown. You can't buy it." The young man paused, with a trace of melancholy in his blue eyes. "My hometown is in the far south, far away from here."

"Then why did you come so far away?"

The young man said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."

"What kind of strange beast is your soul weapon?" Tianrong said: "This smell is so familiar."

The young man's expression changed and he stood up abruptly. His eyes swept across the faces of the four people, "You are a strange beast... you are... the prince!"

Yu Renshu narrowed his eyes and held the handle of Tianrong's mace tightly.

Jiang Chaoge frowned and glanced at Tianrong, "Why don't you just put the words Yu Renshu on his head?" There are only a few people on the Tianling Continent who have heaven-level soul weapons. People like Yu Renshu have them.

There are even fewer that are known to be beautiful. Combined with the shape of his weapons, anyone with some brains can easily guess it.
