Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1220 - 1268 Snowy Night

The Kunlun Mountain Range begins in the Pamir Plateau, extending about 2500 kilometers in length, with an average altitude of 5500-6000 meters, and width ranging from 130 to 200 kilometers. Encompassing over 500,000 square kilometers, it spans the provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang, and Tibet within Huaxia. The highest peak, Gongger Peak, is located in Wuqia County of Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang and stands about 7700 meters tall, renowned as the foremost divine mountain in Huaxia with countless legends surrounding the Kunlun Mountain Range.

The most legendary among these tales is that of the Immortal Queen Mother of the West, who brewed her elixir using the waters of the Kunlun Mountain Range. Additionally, in the transition period from the Ming to Qing Dynasties, the Kunlun Sect was established by Zhang Liqing Taoist and Xuan Yang Hu from Yongdeng County, Gansu Province. They ventured into the Kunlun Mountain Range in search of the legendary "Land of All Gods", eventually settling near the Ma’ying Kongjiazui area of Ledu County, Qinghai Province. Surrounded by mountains arranged in a lotus pattern which created a mystical sight, they chose to establish a Taoist temple atop the lotus’s core, a most fitting location. Thus, they began constructing the "Kunlun Taoist Temple" in 1916. By 1930, they finally completed a sect complex called "Kunlun Temple of All Gods" comprising one entrance and five courtyards, designed in the Bagua style, facing south.

Zhang Sanfeng, a character from a few centuries prior to the Kunlun Sect, is shrouded in even more legend. While tales of his becoming an immortal through practice are clearly fabrications, Zhang Sanfeng was undeniably a supreme martial artist, and no one ever contested this.

Murong Yuanqing once told Li Yifei that before the widespread use of firearms, martial arts were the most direct representation of individual combat prowess. Thus, people of that era devoted themselves to martial arts in a way modern people cannot compare, delving into the potential of the human body to a degree that demands modern respect. With modernity’s increasing reliance on cold weapons, the emphasis on developing human potential has waned, leading to a substantial loss of martial arts skills and the dwindling of true masters. Even a master like Murong Yuanqing self-deprecatingly admitted that, with his level, placed before the Qing Dynasty, he would only be considered an average expert and could be easily defeated by a true master in minutes.

Li Yifei believed in these historical reflections, which fueled his enthusiasm for discovering this ancient site. If he could indeed find something left by the legendary Zhang Sanfeng, it might substantially boost his abilities.

This time, their destination was not one of those well-known spots previously developed into tourist areas by modern people, but rather a location in the western part of the Kunlun Mountain Range. In contrast to the dense forests of the smaller mountains near Mile City, this area featured only low shrubs and exposed rocks, looking exceedingly desolate, especially in this season.

Upon reaching elevations over 2000 meters, patches of fir trees occasionally dotted the landscape, yet the temperature continued to plummet.

Before Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan arrived, Park Sung-ho and the others had thoroughly prepared. Tents and various living supplies were plentifully stocked, with everyone carrying a large backpack, Wu Chang included. In such an environment, putting on airs was nothing but self-torture. Reaching their destination was not a matter of one or two days; without proper preparations, they would freeze mid-journey.

All six were experts, and though there were no defined mountain paths and the terrain was rugged and steep, they still managed to advance quickly, reaching an altitude of over 4000 meters by evening.

Li Yifei kept an eye on their surroundings, but still saw no sign of Murong Yuanqing. However, he was certain Murong Yuanqing was nearby because he would not easily miss such a significant event.

Even though all six were skilled in martial arts, at nightfall, they dared not continue upward. They found a wind-shielded area to set up their tents, and then Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan crawled inside.

Xu Shanshan shook the snow from her clothing at the tent entrance, removed her shoes, and dove straight under the blankets, grinning and saying, "This is way too cold."

Li Yifei took food and water from his bag saying, "The higher we go, the colder it gets, and it’s hard to say how many more days we’ll need."

Xu Shanshan took a chunk of dried meat handed over by Li Yifei and bit into it fiercely, saying, "Humph, that old geezer really bugs me. He always frowns at me, and just because I asked how much longer we need, he glared and bristled as if someone owes him a ton of money. I really wanted to punch him."

Li Yifei chuckled, saying, "Let it go, no need to get mad at him. We’ll just follow along."

"Yeah." Xu Shanshan’s anger came quickly and left quickly. After eating some food and drinking some water, she winked at Li Yifei, saying, "Brother-in-law, let’s lie down and sleep."

Li Yifei also crawled under the blanket, and Xu Shanshan immediately snuggled up to him, smiling sweetly, "Although it’s tough here, being with you like this is really nice."

Despite the continuing snowstorm outside, it wasn’t very cold inside the tent. In addition, snuggling together quickly made them feel not so cold, even cozy and warm.

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Shanshan blinked at Li Yifei, her expression full of charm.

Li Yifei felt a bit of heat in his mouth and said, "Shanshan, it’s late, we should sleep."

Xu Shanshan twisted her body, saying, "Really? It’s only a bit past five. At home, we haven’t even had dinner at this time. It’s too early to sleep."

Li Yifei also thought that made sense. He usually doesn’t go to sleep until after ten o’clock, so at this moment, he wasn’t sleepy at all. He patted Xu Shanshan’s back and said, "Then let’s just talk. Those people aren’t far from us. If we make any noise, they’ll hear us."

"So what if they hear us? If they feel uncomfortable, let them go hook up."

Li Yifei burst out laughing and said, "I can’t believe you came up with that. But, if they were to hook up, it does seem like it could be quite amusing."

"Brother-in-law, you’ve already got so many wives, why not find a guy to play with too?"

Li Yifei’s face darkened immediately, and he said, "I don’t have such tendencies."

Xu Shanshan snickered mischievously and said, "Actually, it would be quite funny. If you ever did, I’d definitely come to watch."

"Stop imagining such nonsense, or I’ll really get angry," Li Yifei glared.

Xu Shanshan giggled, saying, "Then let me ask you a question. If you saw my sister and others engaging in yuri, what would you do?"

Li Yifei was momentarily stunned, the scene popping into his head excited him instantly, and he said grudgingly, "That does seem kind of thrilling." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Exactly! You men like watching women in yuri, and women also like to watch men get together. Haven’t you seen that there’s a website dedicated to people writing those kinds of stories, with quite a lot of readers too?"

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Reading novels is one thing, but don’t confuse it with reality. Firstly, I don’t have such tendencies, and secondly, the thought of you all watching another man makes me uneasy. It would drive me crazy."

Xu Shanshan burst out laughing, saying, "I knew it, brother-in-law, you’re so chauvinistic. I was just joking."

Li Yifei tapped on Xu Shanshan’s head pretending to be angry and said, "Thinking you’re all full of bizarre ideas every day."

"Hehe." Xu Shanshan snuggled closer into Li Yifei’s arms, and her little hand got naughty again, cooing, "Brother-in-law, how about we get cozy for a while?"

Li Yifei, not so steadfast, said, "Let’s not, we’ll definitely make noise. Then if they hear us, I’ll feel like we’ve made a huge blunder."

"Who says? The spot I chose earlier is quite far from them, and there’s also a big rock blocking us. Plus, listen to the wind outside, it’s so loud, we can’t even hear the sounds from their tents, how could they hear us?"

Li Yifei actually knew this, but what he was worried about wasn’t really that...

Before Li Yifei could say it, Xu Shanshan said, "Brother-in-law, are you worried that if we start, we won’t be able to control ourselves and then my sister will sense it?"

This was indeed what Li Yifei was worried about. He gave a wry smile and said, "Exactly. In the past, every time you did this, it was like sending a signal to your sister. If she senses it now, she’ll definitely think something’s wrong, wouldn’t that scare her? Besides, Elder Murong and others are nearby. If we can’t hide it from those few, how can we hide it from Elder Murong? It would be so awkward when we see him again."

Brought up Murong Yuanqing, Xu Shanshan felt her temper deflate, pouted, and said resentfully, "This won’t do, that won’t do; can’t even sleep—so what are we supposed to do?" Then she turned away from Li Yifei, maintaining a bit of distance between them.
