"Wow, what’s this? It’s delicious, so delicious. I’ve never tasted anything this good before." Xue Ziping exclaimed while eating.
"Is it going to rain?" Luo Yunyi suddenly looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the sky began to darken.
"Let’s take this into the tent to eat." Xue Ziping suggested.
"Okay." Luo Yunyi replied, still watching the sky.
Soon, the two moved the small stove into the tent, and Xue Ziping continued eating joyfully.
At this moment, the sky outside was almost completely black, not a drop of rain fell.
The chilly wind blew in bursts, the temperature around quickly dropped—from refreshingly cool at first to uncomfortably cold.
"Strange? The weather is quite odd," Xue Ziping muttered, perplexed. Although cultivators could channel spiritual energy to fend off cold and heat, the temperature change was too rapid and strange.
"It’s snowing!"
"Is it because a divine artifact is about to emerge?"
"What type of divine artifact is it? Is it related to ice and snow?"
"Look, the five-colored light has appeared again."
Next, the weather became even more erratic. Fierce winds rose, the light snow turned into a blizzard with large hailstones mixed in.
"Hey, eating hot pot in this weather is really an enjoyment." Xue Ziping was still happily eating.
"Aren’t you going to look at the divine artifact?" Luo Yunyi asked.
"Those destined will obtain it. Divine artifacts have their own divine sense, they will choose their own master. If it doesn’t favor me, there’s no point in me going there." Xue Ziping said nonchalantly, sipping a small glass of wine, "So let’s just enjoy the food and drink. We shouldn’t waste delicious food, wine, and beautiful scenery."
"Now I understand why you’re considered a wastrel in the cultivation world." Luo Yunyi smiled slightly. Any lingering ill feelings he had towards Xue Ziping disappeared.
Outside, many cultivators had flown off on their swords, chasing the location of the five-colored light. Everyone wanted to find the divine artifact as soon as it came into being and establish a bond with it.
Luo Yunyi didn’t move, he just stood at the tent entrance, watching outside.
"Aren’t you going?" Xue Ziping asked.
Luo Yunyi turned to look at Xue Ziping, smiled, and returned to sit down.
From the distance, the sounds of spells clashing could faintly be heard, evidently, the cultivators had already started fighting over the divine artifact.
All the tents were empty, except for the one shared by Luo Yunyi and Xue Ziping.
Suddenly, a chubby child wearing a bellyband appeared in front of Luo Yunyi, calling out to him, "Daddy, Xiao Shui is here, but she’s a bit different from before."
"Daddy?" Xue Ziping looked at Luo Yunyi in shock, "When did you have a son?"
Luo Yunyi glanced at him, and Xue Ziping burst out laughing, "Just kidding, just kidding, it’s obvious this isn’t a human. This kid looks like an Earth Spirit! Brother Luo, impressive, having an Earth Spirit recognize you as its master, no, as its daddy."
"Where is she?" Luo Yunyi ignored Xue Ziping’s teasing and seriously asked the little Earth Spirit.
"Here she comes!" The little Earth Spirit turned to look at the tent entrance.
At the entrance of the tent appeared a chubby little girl, holding a huge and exquisite makeup mirror.
"Xiao Tu!" The chubby girl in a white dress at the entrance cheerfully greeted the little Earth Spirit.
"Xiao Shui, you’re here." The little Earth Spirit was also delighted and moved forward, but another chubby girl in a red dress appeared beside him and pulled him back.
