Chapter 5: Friendship Amidst the Snow — Three Souls Unite as One

The snow falls thick and fast, wrapping the world in a vast expanse of white.

Mo Shuang held her child and stood side by side with Ye Xuan amid the wind and snow. Though the fierce battle earlier had deterred the pursuers sent by the immortal sects, her old wounds had not yet healed, and she had forced her demonic meridians into full power—now her qi and blood surged chaotically, and her fair cheeks were tinged with an unnatural pallor. What troubled her far more, though, was the baby in her arms: for some time now, its body had been burning hot, its little face flushed bright red, its breath quick and faint. Now and then it let out a weak cry, each sound pricking her heart like a needle.

"The child has a fever." A faint tremor lingered in Mo Shuang’s voice, and anxiety flooded her violet eyes. She knew the properties of medicine well, and she knew exactly what a high fever meant for an infant in this frozen, snowbound wilderness.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly. He reached out, gently touched the child’s forehead, and wove a wisp of gentle demonic energy—slowly infusing it into the baby’s body to steady its temperature for the moment. He lifted his gaze toward the depths of the storm; his dark eyes pierced through the swirling snow and locked onto a precise direction. "Follow me. Three li ahead, there are people living there."

Mo Shuang paused in surprise. These remote mountains were rarely trod by humans—how could there be a dwelling here? She asked no questions, however, only held the child tighter and followed in his footsteps.

The wind and snow grew fiercer, cutting like knives against their skin. They pushed through snow that reached their knees, moving swiftly. Before long, a warm yellow light shone through the blizzard ahead—a tiny glow, like a gentle star in a world of white.

As they drew near, they saw a small wooden house built against the mountainside. A bamboo fence surrounded it; its wooden gate stood half open. Strings of dried medicinal herbs hung above the doorframe, swaying softly in the cold wind, and a faint, clean, calming scent of medicine drifted through the air.

With a creak, the gate was pulled open from inside.

A woman stepped out. She wore a plain linen dress, face free of powder or rouge, her long hair loosely gathered and held in place only by a wooden hairpin. Her grace was pure and clear, like mountain stream water, untouched by the dust of the world. Her eyes curved gently, a soft smile playing at her lips. Her gaze fell upon Mo Shuang’s snow-white hair and strange violet pupils—yet she showed not the slightest trace of fear or shock, only a familiarity and joy as if meeting a long-lost friend.

"Traveling through heavy snow and freezing cold, with a small child in tow… it must have been a hard journey for you both." Her voice was soft and warm; she gestured for them to enter. "My home is humble, but ther...

The immortal pursuers refuse to give up. They track the trio deep into the mountains, and soon surround the little medicine hut.

The leader—an arrogant Elder—shouts that he will capture the demoness and wipe out every last trace of her. Little does he know… he and his followers have already stepped straight into the trap the three have laid for them.

Mo Shuang stands high above them, her white hair dancing in the wind, violet eyes cold as ice, demonic energy roaring around her like a storm—regal, powerful, absolute, like a queen come to claim her kingdom.

Ye Xuan stands apart, hands behind his back. One look from him freezes every enemy in place, their souls trembling, unable to move a muscle.

And Su Yao? She stands at the side, smiling sweetly. With a light toss of her hand, she scatters a cloud of fine powder into the air, her voice cheerful yet deadly. "Now, now—no need to rush to fight! First, why don’t you try my newest creation: the Hundred-Itch Powder? I promise you… you will wish you were never born!"

"You wanted so badly to catch us…" Mo Shuang’s voice rings clear and cold across the snow. "Well then… why don’t you leave your lives here instead?"
