The snow fell continuously for a full day and night before it finally stopped.
By the next morning, the skies had cleared to a pristine blue, but the temperature remained extremely low.
The seemingly bright sun was actually as useful as a candle, providing hardly any warmth at all.
Although the roads remained covered with thick snow, Wu Liangchen and Xu Kai couldn't wait any longer. They packed their belongings simply, planning to settle their bill and leave the small town.
However, when they tried to pay, the Shopkeeper refused to accept any money.
Unable to decline such hospitality, they ended up enjoying two days of free lodging before leaving the town and arriving at the Tang River.
The river was completely frozen over, with ice thick enough to support not just people but entire caravans.
Moreover, numerous small vendors had set up along the riverbank, selling and renting ice sleds.
