Chapter 164: The Little Fox Fairy in the Mountains (8.446k)

At the beginning of the Cold Moon, the cousins from Gusu bid farewell to the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

The Four Friends were deeply attached and urged them to stay for one more day.

The chill during the Ice Moon was fierce, the coldest days of the year, inkstones frozen solid.

Dan Qingsheng, with his bold ink and simple attire, created another painting in Mei Manor called "Plum Remnant Subtle Fragrance" as a parting gift.

This was actually a farewell painting. The young man in the picture stood among the plum groves, his posture carefree and natural, hinting that though his friend might leave, his presence lingered still.

Wine, swordsmanship, poetry, and painting altogether conjured up an ideal atmosphere.

When it came time for Zhao Rong to say goodbye, Dan Qingsheng found it especially hard to let go.

"Brother, in this world, there are very few who would receive two paintings from me in such a short time."
