The lips of Ling Buyan lightly touched the delicate skin on Li Fenglan’s temple.

In an instant, it felt as if a weak electric current suddenly passed through them, spreading to their limbs and bones. Both Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were startled, then separated abruptly.

Li Fenglan’s face turned red beyond words.

He had never experienced such a feeling before.

In fact, at this moment, Ling Buyan was even more nervous than Li Fenglan. That action just now was completely out of character for him.

Ling Buyan had been alive for so many years and had never thought about love affairs, let alone…kissing someone.

Li Fenglan didn’t know that the kiss that had just landed on his temple was actually the first kiss of Ling Buyan’s life.

Under the cover of the sunset glow, Li Fenglan did not know that even his master’s ears had turned red at this moment.

In the previous life, Ling Buyan had a high opinion of himself and looked down on every living creature in the world. And such a person naturally would not fall in love with anyone.

To put it simply, Ling Buyan at that time did not understand the existence of such emotions.

It was not until he met Li Fenglan – someone who had the same talent as him but walked a completely different path in life – that Ling Buyan finally found someone worth his attention.

Only those with enough strength could catch Ling Buyan’s eye.

And Li Fenglan, who had the same strength but followed a different path in life, was the person that Ling Buyan was destined to pay attention to.

Under the purple-red hue of the sunset, Ling Buyan finally did what he had always wanted to do on impulse.

At this moment, Ling Buyan’s heart was pounding.

Having lived for so many years, Ling Buyan had never been afraid of anything. But at this moment, he was somewhat afraid to look into Li Fenglan’s eyes.

After spending so much time together, the people who he thought had already blended into his life made him feel uneasy and nervous for the first time.

Ling Buyan realized that he needed to change the topic quickly.

His gaze shifted to the side and he softly called out the name of Li Fenglan: “Fenglan.”

Li Fenglan, this name belonged only to the person in front of him, just as he had said.

…

A thousand years ago, in Xihou City.

The Li family was an aristocratic family in Xihou City, living here for generations. The family had produced countless great figures recorded in history.

And the young master of the Li family was known as a young talent throughout Xihou City.

In the first year of Chengyuan, on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snow fell from the sky.

Xihou City was located in the south and rarely experienced snow, and even when it did, it was just light snow that couldn’t accumulate.

But the snow that fell in the first year of Chengyuan lasted for months. At first, the children and teenagers in Xihou City were excited by the sudden beauty of the north.

However, not long after, everyone realized that this sudden heavy snow seemed to have no end.

Xihou City was located in the south, and the walls of the houses were not as thick as those in the north. Before long, news spread of people freezing to death in their homes.

After another three or four days, crops outside the city couldn’t withstand the cold and began to fall to the ground.

At this point, everyone realized that this winter was particularly harsh.

And if the people living in Xihou City recalled this period of time in the future, they will involuntarily sigh and associate this heavy snow that lasted from the end of the year to the next spring with the declining aristocratic family in Xihou City.

At that time, people thought that this association was far-fetched.

But they didn’t expect that the real story did begin with this heavy snow.

From the moment Li Fuyue was born, Heavenly Dao had already taken notice of his existence.

His spiritual power and talent were both rare in the world. Unfortunately, it seemed that the Li family had no interest in cultivating him.

In that era, many prestigious families would invite “immortals” to measure the spiritual roots of their children when they were young, and if they had good talent, they would be sent to various sects.

But the Li family did not do so.

They lived peacefully in Xihou City, and the content Li Fuyue learned from a young age had nothing to do with cultivation.

It wasn’t until fourteen years later that they didn’t know how rare Li Fuyue’s spiritual roots and physique were.

The Li family and Li Fuyue didn’t care, but Mo Shenyu couldn’t ignore it.

To become human, he needed to collect enough powerful energy to replace himself.

Li Fuyue’s spiritual power alone was not enough, and he needed Li Fuyue to have the same cultivation level as Ling Buyan back then.

Mo Shenyu was afraid of being discovered by Heavenly Dao’s main body and dared not make too big of a move. So he made up his mind to start from two directions…

One was Li Fuyue himself, and the other was the current incompetent emperor.

Li Fuyue’s physique was very special. Although he had not yet cultivated, he would unconsciously absorb spiritual energy, and over time, his mortal body would become “ill” due to the inability to withstand such a great force.

For Li Fuyue, it was only a matter of time.

But at that time, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his spiritual energy was not enough to make him sick.

Mo Shenyu silently pushed him from behind.

Mo Shenyu wanted to force Li Fuyue to leave home and leave Xihu City.

But he also knew that a single illness wouldn’t mean much. Only when the Li family was defeated could Li Fuyue go on to cultivate the Dao, as he wished.

At that time, Ling Buyan could sense the will of heaven. Even though he was still trapped in an endless purgatory, he risked being discovered by Mo Shenyu and tried to help Li Fuyue.

Unfortunately, the emperor of the dynasty, Lou Yuanwei, was directly influenced by the will of heaven, and Ling Buyan was powerless.

So as early as the beginning of the second year of Chengyuan, Ling Buyan already felt that the peaceful days of Li Fuyue and the Li family were about to come to an end.

In theory, he could choose to watch from the sidelines. After all, this was not something he could control.

But at that time, Ling Buyan had already seen the world through Li Fuyue’s eyes and regarded Li Fuyue as another self.

After learning of Mo Shenyu’s intentions, although Ling Buyan was unable to change the final outcome, he made a decision.

He wanted to go to the mortal world and take a look at this young man.

Then he would help Li Fuyue, at least to relieve some of his suffering.

At that time, Ling Buyan had already spent tens of thousands of years in Endless Purgatory, repairing his divine soul almost completely and accumulating some of his strength.

Although he was still some distance away from directly leaving Endless Purgatory, this spiritual power was enough to support him for a short time outside.

For Ling Buyan, this was also a very dangerous thing. If he was careless and discovered by Mo Shenyu, his years of hiding would be ruined.

In the past, the Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor would never take such a risk for someone else, let alone care about the life and death of someone who had nothing to do with them in the mortal world.

However, Li Fuyue made him, who could be considered ruthless in the past, develop a sense of empathy.

…

Outside Xihou City, a young man riding a white horse broke through the city gate in the wind and snow.

Seeing this, the people in the city all cast their eyes over.

“That’s the young master of the Li family…”

“What is he doing outside the city?”

“It seems that he is delivering something to the villagers for the Li family to keep them warm.”

“The young master of the Li family is truly talented!”

Li Fuyue heard their discussion, but he did not feel happy because of the people’s praise.

In the city, other young gentlemen of the same age as Li Fuyue were still gathering together to enjoy the snow and paint. However, Li Fuyue’s family had already told him what this heavy snow meant for ordinary people outside the city today.

Li Fuyue dismounted and walked slowly with the servant following him, leading the horse towards the Li family.

“Young master, are you feeling uncomfortable?” The servant saw that Li Fuyue’s face suddenly became very ugly, especially his lips, which had no trace of blood.

Li Fuyue did not speak. He shook his head lightly and said, “It’s okay… Maybe I caught a cold.”

“Ah, I see,” the servant nodded quickly. “Then when you get back, be sure to have the kitchen prepare some ginger soup for you as soon as possible.”

At this moment, Li Fuyue suddenly felt dizzy, his footsteps paused, but he did not tell the person next to him about his feelings.

Li Fuyue still thought it was just a normal cold.

The young nobleman dressed in a fox fur coat, leading a spirited horse, walked through the snow-covered streets and alleys back to his familiar home.

At this time, Li Fuyue had not yet realized that this seemingly ordinary evening would be engraved in his memory forever.

After that day, Li Fuyue never walked home through the streets with his white horse like this again.

As soon as he entered the door, his mother handed him a handwarmer. But at the moment he took it, Li Fuyue sensed something unusual…he seemed unable to hold the warmer firmly.

The next moment, Li Fuyue slowly retreated, and if he had not supported himself with the pillar behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.

“Fuyue?”

“What’s wrong with you, Fuyue?”

His ears were filled with the panicked voices of his family. Li Fuyue only had time to wave his hand and say, “It’s nothing, just need to rest.” The next moment, he fell into darkness.

This was not a normal cold.

From that night on, Li Fuyue had a high fever, and despite the Li family’s search for renowned doctors, they were unable to cure him.

And miraculously, unlike other seriously ill people, Li Fuyue’s physical condition did not deteriorate day by day.

Although he was in a half-asleep and half-awake state, there was no difference in his pulse compared to before.

Li’s family originally did not want this matter to be spread, but after a short while, the people in Xihou City still knew that the young master of the Li family, Fuyue, had contracted a strange illness.

One day, someone came to the Li family and said that Li Fuyue might have been cursed or provoked something. Regular doctors couldn’t cure him, only cultivators could.

While Li’s family was at a loss about where to find a cultivator or how to transport Li Fuyue by carriage to a certain sect, someone came to Xihou City.

He was wearing a black cloak and carrying a oiled paper umbrella, walking through the layers of snow, and arrived under the eaves of the Li family’s house.

The person who came was Ling Buyan, who had been in Endless Purgatory for tens of thousands of years.

Before, Ling Buyan thought that when he left that hot and silent space, he would be excited or sad. But he didn’t expect that when he stepped onto the long street in the snow, there was no trace of distracting thoughts in his mind.

He just wanted to walk up and gently knock on the scarlet red door of the Li family not far away.

Only at this moment did Ling Buyan realize clearly – the young man who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him was nearby.
