Chapter 448: The Gift of the Cloak
The journey to the mansion city was a day and a half’s journey away, but by the afternoon, the sky darkened, and a fierce snowstorm halted everyone’s progress.
Mounted on her horse and enveloped in wind and snow, Su Luo quickly arrived at Ah Jiu’s carriage to report, "My lord, the snowstorm is too severe. I’m afraid it won’t stop any time soon. Moreover, ten miles ahead lies Twin Tiger Mountain. Crossing the mountain could be problematic."
"Is there a place to take shelter from the wind?" Ah Jiu glanced at the world blanketed in white and frowned as she asked.
"There’s a rundown temple at the foot of the mountain," Su Luo delivered the news she had scouted.
Ah Jiu stepped out of the carriage and approached Wufu’s carriage, shared the situation with her, and decided to take shelter in the dilapidated temple for the night.
The snowstorm didn’t let up. The two horse carriages proceeded one after the other, and by the time they reached the temple, dusk was nearing completion, and light flickered through the temple’s doors.
"Miss," Hongyu was the first to jump off the carriage, shivering as she reached out her hand.
"Silly girl, no need for your help, quickly get inside the temple." Wufu leaped down agilely, the snowstorm was too fierce, and the temperature had dropped considerably, Hongyu’s lips were even turning purple from the cold.
