CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 175: LET ME HOLD YOU TIGHT

In no time, Feng Qiwu was ready to set off with a few simple followers. Witch Doctor Gu He was taken aback when he saw the black horse in front of him and exclaimed, "A Black Horned Horse? These horses are naturally unruly and hard to tame. How did you manage to tame them?"

Although the Black Horned Horse was the lowest tier of demon beasts, during their time, only a Beast Tamer could manage to tame such tempestuous creatures.

But Feng Qiwu and the others were just ordinary people...

This thought barely surfaced before Witch Doctor Gu He stopped himself.

Ha ha.

Others could be called ordinary people.

But Feng Qiwu?

Not even close to being ordinary!

...

When he heard Witch Doctor Gu He’s words, Feng Qiwu did not answer his question.

Xiao Quanzi, on the other hand, couldn’t help but arrogantly boast about how the Black Horned Horse willingly submitted to them.

Hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He instinctively wanted to wipe his face with his hand.

Good heavens!

In this day and age, even a Black Horned Horse has sharper judgement than him?

These beasts even know to willingly attach themselves to the child of destiny!

But just then, Feng Qiwu suddenly spoke, breaking his silence: "In the past, there were no such horses. They’ve only appeared recently."

Upon hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He instinctively widened his eyes.

"Appeared recently? What do you mean? Haven’t you seen Black Horned Horses before?"

In his era, Black Horned Horses were nothing more than the lowest and most ordinary demon beasts.

Could it be that in this world... Black Horned Horses had long ceased to exist?

Yet now they suddenly appeared again.

What does that mean?

It means Star Power is reviving, and the world is changing back to how he knew it!

Thinking of this, Witch Doctor Gu He swallowed excitedly, unable to contain his emotions as he said, "The revival of Star Power... It must be the revival of Star Power!"

Otherwise, these beasts, which can only be conceived with enough Star Power, couldn’t have suddenly appeared.

...

Feng Qiwu had already heard about the term "revival of Star Power" from Bai Susu, so he showed no unusual emotions now.

It was Xiao Quanzi who looked puzzled at Witch Doctor Gu He.

But before he could ask what the revival of Star Power meant, Feng Qiwu coldly interjected, "We will discuss this later, for now, let’s head to Spirit Mountain!"

Witch Doctor Gu He snapped awake at this and quickly nodded, suppressing his excitement.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel lucky once again for wisely choosing to plead for mercy.

Otherwise, how could he have witnessed the revival of Star Power?

Swiftly, the group left Capital City and hurried towards Spirit Mountain.

This time, since Bai Susu was not with them, they didn’t need to worry about moving too quickly. The moment they were on the official road, Feng Qiwu rode the Black Horned Horse at full speed.

With the Black Horned Horse being able to travel ten thousand li in a day, the mere hundred li journey only took less than an hour.

As they arrived in front of the small village at the foot of Spirit Mountain, the white mouse in Ling Han’s arms excitedly began scratching its ears.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Charge!

Charge quickly! There’s treasure!

Seeing the white mouse so excited, Ling Han’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"Your Highness, it seems there really is something here."

Feng Qiwu slightly nodded and looked at the white mouse.

The white mouse cautiously glanced at Feng Qiwu before jumping off Ling Han and swiftly running towards the village.

Narrowing his eyes, Feng Qiwu spurred his horse to follow.

...

Soon, the white mouse had rushed into the village.

It darted towards one of the high-fundamental houses and frantically scratched at it with its claws.

In no time, it had scratched away the dirt from the foundation.

As the dirt fell away, neat and transparent Star Stones appeared before them.

Upon seeing those large Star Stones, Witch Doctor Gu He’s eyes widened in disbelief.

What the hell!

Supreme quality Star Stones!

These mortals, wasting heavenly resources, actually used supreme quality Star Stones for foundation work.

Even in the great Divine Dynasties of his era, no one dared to be so extravagant as to use supreme quality Star Stones for constructing palaces or houses.

Who could have thought that after countless years, a group of ordinary people would accomplish something that even cultivators hadn’t?

Seeing Witch Doctor Gu He’s expression, Feng Qiwu knew they had found the right thing.

He immediately said in a deep voice, "Immediately send someone to enclose this area and forbid any villagers from leaking this information."

These Star Stones must not be known to the hidden families.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He couldn’t help but say, "Why not just kill all the villagers here?"

Feng Qiwu’s eyes turned icy as he looked over at him, "You were wise enough to choose living over dying; what gives you the right to decide others’ deaths?"

Susu worked so hard doing good deeds to accumulate blessings for him, and Witch Doctor Gu He with one sentence wants him to commit yet another murder.

Dream on.

Witch Doctor Gu He found himself shrinking back at Feng Qiwu’s words, "I was just thinking it would be easier that way?"

Moreover, in his eyes, these non-cultivatable commoners... were hardly different from ants by the roadside!

...

Upon learning that Feng Qiwu had an urgent matter and left suddenly, Bai Susu was a little worried.

She wondered if Feng Qiwu’s sudden departure had anything to do with the poisoned snacks?

But since Feng Qiwu didn’t say he wouldn’t return in the evening, he should be coming back.

Thinking of this, Bai Susu simply picked up the Nine Yin Manual and started leafing through it, settling down with a hand warmer, cross-legged on the bed, and slowly began cultivating.

But gradually, as the late night set in, her body began to grow cold.

At that moment, Bai Susu had no choice but to put down the hand warmer and sit by the brazier, wrapping the blanket around herself, shivering.

Wuwuwu!

She should have just acted decisively from the start.

If she had already pounced on Feng Qiwu, she wouldn’t be suffering this freezing cold!

As Bai Susu regretted deeply, Feng Qiwu arrived with chilling air all over him.

"Susu, I’m sorry, I came back late." Feng Qiwu entered the room and saw Bai Susu wrapped in a blanket by the fire, shivering.

Instantly, his heart brimmed with self-blame.

No matter how important the Star Stone Mine was, Susu was more important.

He should have delegated the task to his men and rushed back at the first opportunity.

...

Seeing Feng Qiwu return, Bai Susu’s eyes immediately lit up, and she hastened to drop the blanket and rush into Feng Qiwu’s embrace, "Shu Kuang, you’re finally here! I’m freezing. Let me hug you."

With that, she hurriedly reached to tug at Feng Qiwu’s clothes.

But her hands trembled so much that she couldn’t even grasp the belt correctly.

Seeing this, Feng Qiwu chuckled and felt heartache at the same time.

He swiftly pulled off his own belt, loosened his outer garment, and suddenly bent down to press Bai Susu’s body close against his, holding her tightly as he strode towards the bed.

On reaching the bed, he nonchalantly removed the last barriers between them, his muscles tensing as he embraced Bai Susu’s cold-as-ice frame against his own.

The cold emanating from Susu... it was truly too terrifying.

When their skin touched initially, even he found it hard to bear.
