Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter
Chapter 472 - 162: Gaining Fifth Lady, Entering the Ice Race
Strong is strong, weak is weak, what’s so strange about that.
As time passed, the two went from strangers to slowly becoming familiar, and then inseparable...
Li Yuan took Zhenyan Xue shopping, dining, buying clothes, even drinking; going hunting in the mountains, wandering; and then taking Zhenyan Xue in a carriage, listening to her excitedly exclaiming, "This carriage is really comfortable" and so on...
The fact proved that this kind of interaction was enough to make Zhenyan Xue develop feelings.
She began to have a different kind of fondness for Li Yuan, and started liking going everywhere with him.
Whatever Li Yuan said, she would listen.
Wherever Li Yuan went, she would follow.
With Li Yuan around, she appeared relaxed. If she was away from Li Yuan for a while, she became extra vigilant, like a tamed female leopard.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The flying snow gracefully descended upon the human world.
Soon it froze over Cang Mountain, turning the world into a cold silver white.
That day, the old hunter trembled, stroking his white beard and said, "Mu Er, Xiao Xue, my body is getting worse by the day, but you two kids make me worried..."
"Dad."
"Uncle..."
The young boy and girl huddled in front of the old hunter.
The old hunter said, "I’ll make a decision, you two kids should get married, and live a good life together in the future."
Li Yuan looked at Zhenyan Xue.
Zhenyan Xue responded heartily, "Okay, Uncle, I also want to live with Brother Mu."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Dad, don’t worry, tonight we’ll get married."
That night, the simple mountain cabin was filled with celebration.
Li Yuan cooked an extra wild game.
And Zhenyan Xue wore the red dress bought earlier.
The two simply got married, and Zhenyan Xue also started calling the old hunter "Dad", then the two entered the bridal chamber.
The so-called bridal chamber, was just originally sleeping with a curtain in between, now the curtain was removed, and the two small beds were combined into one big bed.
An hour of spring night is worth a thousand gold.
Since Zhenyan Xue acknowledged Li Yuan as her husband, she wasn’t shy like ordinary girls, but full of wildness as she "fought" with Li Yuan.
Until midnight, but suddenly there was a "boom".
The bed... collapsed.
Zhenyan Xue’s strength was too strong, her every move, her every rise and sit, was like a Sixth Grade Demon Beast.
It was fine when she slept alone, but in the bridal chamber, this ordinary wooden bed couldn’t withstand her tossing.
Suddenly, the two were lying in the ruins of the bedboard, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Outside the dark window, the cold wind was blowing fiercely, the wind and snow froze the whole cabin without a hint of warmth, except where the two were close, it seemed like flames were burning.
Li Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
A woman with such a tall and delicate figure harboring the strength of a dragon, he had never encountered before.
Zhenyan Xue was sitting high above, the desire of a female dragon evidently not yet extinguished, but to continue seemed not quite right, so she whispered, "Don’t disturb dad."
Li Yuan said, "Who asked you to use such force."
Zhenyan Xue said, "How would I know..."
Li Yuan said, "It’s just one broken bed, we still have another one. Let me do it this time, don’t move."
Zhenyan Xue nodded lightly, and then urged, "Hurry up."
...
...
Several days later, the old hunter’s body became increasingly weak.
Zhenyan Xue hesitated to speak.
She really liked the life here, also liked Brother Mu, and this dad.
She had already regarded them as family.
Then...
Her family should naturally be entitled to the most sacred burial.
She hesitated for a day, and while sleeping that night, suddenly nudged Li Yuan and said, "Brother Mu, actually... actually... I..."
Li Yuan woke up, embraced the wife who had not long become his, and said, "No matter what, you are my wife."
"Hmm... I am Brother Mu’s woman."
Zhenyan Xue murmured again, then plucked up the courage and said, "Actually, I’m not from here, I secretly ran away from home."
Li Yuan laughed, "My woman is actually a runaway young Miss."
"What young Miss." Zhenyan Xue shook her hands repeatedly, saying, "I... I am... Anyway, my place isn’t as good as here.
But there’s a special place at my home, a tomb that clan members can go to when dying—Immortal Tomb.
As long as they go to the Immortal Tomb, the body and soul will freeze.
Then in the prophecy, when sunlight returns to Eternal Night Permafrost, they will be awakened and receive rebirth in the future."
"Hmm..." Li Yuan quietly listened.
Zhenyan Xue said, "I see our dad is gravely ill, thinking of taking him back to the clan, and then sending him to the Immortal Tomb, letting him enter eternal slumber there.
When we’re close to death, we also go there for eternal sleep.
Then one day in the future, we can wake up together in the sunlight and be reborn."
After speaking, she nervously looked at Li Yuan and said, "Brother Mu, do you believe me?"
"I believe..."
Li Yuan hugged the woman in his arms, her smooth and slightly cool body always generated a lot of warmth, like fire emerging from ice, while her strong muscular texture far exceeded ordinary women, without getting hurt...
Since he stepped into Fifth Grade, she was the first woman to truly make him feel happy.
"I will go to convince dad, then... we’ll set off."
"Actually, I don’t want to go home... it’s cold and dark there."
"I’m here."
"Hmm... I’ve played enough, it’s time to go home. Thank you for accompanying me." The female dragon softly murmured.
Li Yuan held her in his arms, his eyes also flickered with some anticipation and caution.
After getting married, he gained a considerable understanding of Zhenyan Xue’s body.
This also allowed him to finally confirm one point.
