Chapter 553: Farewell to the Valley
The sun rose and fell as the trees lost their leaves. Snow covered the valley in a white blanket before nature proved its eternal resilience. Fresh plants and leaves sprouted as the sun chased the winter’s icy cold, reminding everyone that a vibrant hope would always emerge in this endless cycle of renewal.
Sitting by the mountain’s edge, Adam’s sigh merged with the spring wind ruffling his dark and blue robes. He had experienced this cycle seven times already. Yet, despite the frustrating stagnation and the cow’s overbearing manners, his blue eyes flashed with sadness.
"Come on! We’re leaving!"
Misha’s eager voice echoed from behind.
He turned to gaze at the now nine-year-old-looking girl. Her beautiful white robes danced with each movement, the golden embroidery mirroring her eyes and hair sparkling under the morning sun.
Her smile shone brighter than the sun as she carried a bag wafting the enticing scent of packed food—the food they would need on their trip to the famed Jin Long sect.
Biting his lips, he gazed at the beautiful scenery one last time before his seven-year-old body rose to its feet. His sky-blue hair danced as he moved to her and the four guardians waiting for him.
The cow smirked at him, mischief and joy dancing in her eyes.
"Finally the big day, huh? I know you’ve been waiting for it for a while, so why the long face?" She lunged and hugged him gently. "Don’t tell me you’ll miss us after all the troublesome remarks you hurled at our faces."
Despite the sensation of her amble chest pressing on his firm torso, he nodded.
Without knowing when or how, their relationship evolved.
