Chapter 2288: Arrogant and Domineering

Along the way, the maiden seemed like a lively little bird, leading a group of cranes through the shrubs. Although to Long Yan, the vast woodland appeared as a labyrinth, for the maiden, it had become a path well-trodden.

On this journey, the maiden talked with Long Yan about many things in the village, such as Uncle Wang's dog having puppies, and Grandma Zhang's crops maturing among other trivial household matters. Although these were just trifling concerns, they felt quite novel to Long Yan's ears.

There was a time when Long Yan also dreamed of such a life, but one thing after another piled upon him made such a life impossible. Perhaps, after challenging the Heaven Dao, if he still remained alive, he would settle down in Shadow Mountain and spend the rest of his life with Lingxi.

Of course, this was just a longing of Long Yan; challenging the Heaven Dao was not so easily done.
