1407 A Change before the War

When people were on the way to the base, lots of people in black tried to stop them and kill them. Many people from both sides died on the way. During those days, the number of death was increased thousands of times!

On those outlying roads, there were lots of dead bodies without heads.

When the information reached the base, the entire valley was depressed. Finally, the guys made a change one day.

Everybody worked together and cleaned the entire area thoroughly. All the living trashes were piled together in the pointed spot and buried well. On each direction, they built a place for recycling, which meant toilets.

The itinerant cultivators who used to be unruly started to follow rules of life. They didn't like group training, but now, they were pretty active to it. The guys started to pay attention to their personal hygiene and try to protect the environment. In fact, they were cherishing the environment…

Everybody looked solemn before the war.

"Nobody knows who will survive the war. Nobody knows who gets to win the battles. Maybe we all will die, but we should at least not live among some trash. We came with nothing, and we leave with cleanness!"

"The valley became like this because of us… The ladies don't even want to set foot on our place… Are we really going to die a bunch of lonely and smelly men?"

"The war is coming. Who knows who can survive? I have been enjoying the days for years. I have enough of it… Should I really continue such a pointless life before dying in the war? Do I have to get drunk at this moment?"

"If we win and I am dead, brothers, splashed a fine cup of liquor on my tomb when you are going to drink some!"

"If we win and I am alive, I will bring fine liquor to the brothers who died for the victory every year! Life or death, we get drunk together!"

"After the war, if we win, and I am dead, brothers, please take care of my families."

"After the war, if I am alive, I will do my best to take care of our brothers' families!"

"We fight the war without regret!"

"We fight the war with all strength!"

"Come, practice with me and my saber!"

"Come, practice with me and my sword."

"Come, let's make a sword attacks array."

"Come, brother! Let's discuss how to use poison to cause the biggest damage."

…

The area became like the habitat of dragons and tigers. The mountains and rivers were picturesque. The guys had completely new appearance, which was clean, spirited, and solemn.

The crisis was approaching, and everybody tried to live in a new appearance with different vigor at the same time.

The next day, when a group of female cultivators were out for some daily necessities, they happened to go by the other side of the mountain. They were surprised that they didn't smell the stinky air anymore, so they cast a look over. What they saw was astounding like a brand new land.

"How come it is so clean?"

"The smell actually is gone…"

"Actually nobody is drinking…"

"Nobody shouting dirty words…"

"Why such a big change? This is too weird. Do we see ghosts…"

"They always say that we should rather trust ghosts than believe in men. Well, this is more unbelievable than ghosts!"

"I have to say that these men are a little bit cute when they become serious on something. They aren't completely useless after all…" One of the ladies had her cheeks pink and eyes blurred.

"Um, that is true…"

"What a pity! I have been alone for my whole life. I never have the chance to taste love as the romance story tells…"

"Gosh, if a man can stay serious like this all his life, I would marry him…"

"…"

The ladies were touched, so they told everybody when they were back to the other side. More and more curious ladies came over to peek on the guys because of it. When they were back to the ladies' area, the men became more active… Serious men, especially the capable ones, were full of manly charm indeed.

Many ladies were shocked and attracted.

The crisis was near. The calamity would definitely happen soon. Women had soft hearts. Even though they were all cultivators who had the support form their sects, they still felt insecure, so they needed somebody to count on. After all, most of the ladies were single.

At this moment, none of them knew whether they could live after the war or not. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions. It was the critical time, which meant they might die every next day… Why would they hold it back if they hit on some reliable men?

What should they be scared for?

What should they worry about?

They all saw the prime master of Ice Cloud Palace, Xue Danru, went out bravely and caught the company of the man who was only second to Xiao Monarch. If an influential figure like that could do it, why couldn't they?

Many female cultivators professed their feelings to the men they liked in public without hesitation.

Disciples of the Ice Cloud Palace were the most.

The next few days, dozens of couples were made, who built their own cabin of love to live together. Ye Xiao didn't stop them because he liked it.

Some people were jealous or maybe some were only following the others. More and more women and men found their match. Finally, the mountain between men's area and women's area was removed. They were back together again.

It was a good thing to remove the mountain. After all, it blocked quite a good view and wasted a big piece of land. As the mountain was gone, more space was left out to build cabins…

During those days, Ye Xiao felt like he had become a drunkard.

He didn't just drink with others all the time. He just had to join many wedding feasts. Sometimes, he had to attend tens of weddings in one day, drinking from the morning to the night, from the east to the west, from the south to the north, until he threw up, until he felt sick, but he just didn't get drunk. He was too powerful in cultivation, and it kept him from getting drunk.

Ye Xiao was always calm and steady, but he truly couldn't hear no more love stories!

Outside the camps of the ladies, there was always a man shouting loudly to the lady he liked.

"Meng Qingqing, I like you! Marry me!"

"I don't know whether I can survive it or not, but I will spend every second in the rest of my life to love you!"

It was always a man with a profession.

In the camps of ladies, the crowd would burst in commotion.

"Meng Qingqing, say yes!"

"Meng Qingqing, say yes!"
