170 CLOUD MIST RIDGE

The group flew forth three days and three nights without rest before they arrived at their destination. The Cloud Mist Ridge!

The place has an icy terrain and this causes the mist to accumulate. Just like its name, the Cloud Mist Ridge has a thick mist shrouding the entire place.

The thick mist that covers the whole area was akin to clouds that had descended into the ridge.

Going out of the carriage, the group takes the place into full view.

The thick snow covers the roof of houses and smokes were puffing out of its chimneys. Also, there were towering pine trees that stretched into the horizon, far beyond the reach of their eyes.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

From the current looks of it, despite its icy terrain, it still had its own native residents.

The sun was already about to take a dipped on the western horizon when the group arrived. That is why they decided to hurry their way to one of the brick houses erected in the snowy land.

The good thing is that the villagers seem to be amiable and kind in nature. When Long Fui knock on the door, a granny, opened up the door and invited them in without any hesitation.

The old lady introduced herself and called out her granddaughter who was playing inside her room at that moment.

According to their introduction, the granny was called Grandma Lu and the girl is called Mayan. Grandma Lu was raising her grandchild alone ever since Mayan's parents died.

Mayan is a bubbly and cute little girl. While Granma Lu is a very attentive host, though a little bit talkative.

From their conversation, the group learned that people in this place were accustomed to seeing itinerant warlocks that is why they were too accommodating.

The eyes of the cute little girl lit up when it saw the black cat trailing behind the group.

"Have a seat young lads, wait here and I will prepare something to drink."

As she said that, the granny went inside her kitchen leaving the group in the living room together with her grandchild.

The cute little girl never tore her gaze away from Janus. When Mu Lingxi noticed it, she picked up her cat and smiled at the little girl.

"Do you want to pet him??"

Mu Lingxi asked in a soft one...

"Hmm..."

The cute girl nodded her head fervently, her eyes beaming with anticipation.

"There you go... just don't pull on his fur okay? He won't like that."

Mu Lingxi beckoned the cute little girl to come near her and carried her into her lap.

She finds it really heartwarming when she saw the girl playing with Janus. It reminded her of herself when she first saw Janus as a kitten back then.

She had that same spark in her eyes when she held Janus for the first time.

Janus, on the other hand, was purring in satisfaction as the cute little girl rubs him the right way.

"PUUUURRRRRR...."

[Scratch me there... Yes! You got it... Mooooore..]

Janus' eyes were closed as he enjoys how the little girl scratched him under his chin.

When the old lady came back, she had a tray of hot milk. Yun Xue assisted her in distributing the glass of hot milk to the group.

"May I asked if you were looking for the old hermit as well????"

The old lady asked after a while.

The rest of the group was startled when Grandma Lu pointed out their intention too casually.

"There is nothing to be surprised about me knowing your true purpose. Every year, countless itinerants and traveling warlocks were visiting our village in hopes of finding the old hermit, only to leave disappointed."

As the village located along the terrain of Cloud Mist Ridge, they have long heard about the old hermit as well as the legendary snow dragon.

But to date, no one else has seen them in person. In fact, they were not even sure if they were still alive if they exist in the first place.

"Hundreds of itinerants and travelers had tried their luck on a yearly basis but nota single person succeded in meeting the old hermit. Some of them even went missing, never to return to their families. I'm telling you this so that you can set your expectations accordingly."

"Thank you for giving us a heads up Grandma Lu."

Knowing that Grandma Lu was advising them out of goodwill, Long Fuzi clasped his hand and bowed his head to show their appreciation.

"But since we are already here, we might as well try our luck too... Hehe!"

Chan Gu chuckled as he seconded Long Fuzi.

They were aware that meeting the old hermit is not an easy task. Many had tried it before only to return in failure.

But since they have already traveled this far, they might as well push forward a little bit more. Who knows? Maybe lady luck is on their side this time.

"If that's the case then I won't advise you against it anymore. But since it was already dark outside, I suggest you postpone it for now and better stay here for the night, You can resume your journey tomorrow."

"Thank you Grandma Lu."

The group did not stand on ceremony and accepted Grandma Lu's offer. After all, this works in their favor as well.

The house was not that huge. It only has two rooms One for Grandma Lu, while the other was for her grandchild, Mayan.

So the group had no choice but to rest in the living room. Grandma Lu was considerate enough to give them thick blankets so they won't get cold in the night.
