Chapter 176 - Winter Peak
Chapter 176: Winter Peak
“Mike, what are you doing?”
Lilian said, as her cheeks flushed.
Mike looked at her with a smile, and then said, “Didn’t you take the initiative to hook up with me?”
Listening to Mike’s cheeky words, Lilian stomped her feet angrily.
“Okay! Okay! I think we should continue moving forward now!”
Lilian did not think any further after hearing Mike’s words, so the two of them continued to walk towards the depths of the ancient forest.
After traveling for three whole nights, Mike and Lilian passed by one hot spring after another.
Along the way, the two of them also saw many animals that they had never seen before.
Rather than being animals, to Mike, they were more like the embryonic form of a Fierce Beast.
Then, on the morning of the fourth day, the two of them finally came to the end of the ancient forest.
Ahead of the forest was a vast plain.
Behind the plain, there was a huge mountain that towered into the clouds.
Mike and Lilian left the ancient forest and stood on the plain.
The two of them finally felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
This was what Mike had been pursuing, and also what Lilian wanted to enjoy.
The two of them soon lay down upon the grassy plain and bathed in the sunshine.
Lilian smiled and whispered sweet nothings in Mike’s ear.
“Mike, do you think that the far north is behind that huge mountain?”
Mike listened to Lilian’s question and answered her with a smile.
“Of course! We just have to cross this huge snow peak in front of us, then we will be able to see the northernmost land!”
Lilian heard Mike’s words and then gave him a brilliant smile.
Then, Lilian said again, “Now I finally know why the people who want to go to the northernmost land have gone and never returned!”
“Why?”
Mike asked with a smile.
Lilian sorted out her thoughts for a moment, before replying to Mike.
“Because most of the people didn’t make it out of the ancient forest alive! And those who did make it out of the ancient forest alive probably wanted to remain with this beautiful scenery!”
Mike was lying on the grass at the moment.
When he raised his head, he could see waves of brilliant sunlight and the endless sky above him.
As he was sighing over the peaceful years, he could also hear the hundreds of birds chirping in the ancient forest nearby.
“I think no matter who it is, after seeing the scenery here, they would definitely miss it!”
Lilian smiled and said to Mike again.
When Mike heard this, he sat up and said to Lilian.
“Lilian, if this is what you like, we will live here from now on, okay?”
When Lilian heard Mike’s words, she also hurriedly sat up and asked, “Really?”
Mike gave Lilian an affectionate look and nodded lightly.
The young man and young woman were bathed in the spring sunshine.
Deep in their love, the two embraced and passionately kissed each other.
They did not want to let go for a long time.
When the passionate kiss ended, Mike finally came back to his senses and spoke to Lilian.
“That’s true, but we still have to go to the far north first to see what it looks like!
“Let’s go!”
Mike stood up and reached out his hand to Lilian.
In response, Lilian also reached out her hand.
The two of them stood up and continued to move forward.
…
Winter Peak was a huge mountain peak that went straight into the clouds.
The temperature at the foot of the mountain was very different from the temperature at the top.
Mike and Lilian were standing at the foot of Winter Peak.
The two of them looked up at the top of the mountain.
It seemed to have no end in sight.
Lilian could not help but sigh.
“I really didn’t expect that Winter Peak would be so tall!”
Mike was amused at Lilian’s words, so he added, “Yeah! We can’t even see the top of Winter Peak as we’re standing here at the foot of the mountain! It’s really very high!”
“However, it’s also because of this that the wonders of the northern lands, which sits behind it, can be revealed!”
Lilian smiled as she spoke to Mike.
Mike looked at Lilian who was gazing at him affectionately and said, “Since that’s the case, Lilian, let’s hurry up and go up the mountain. Let’s see what’s so special about this Winter Peak!”
“Alright!”
After saying that, Mike and Lilian headed up the mountain.
…
After climbing for a while, Mike and Lilian finally reached the mountainside of Winter Peak.
On the mountainside, the road was covered with a thick layer of snow.
As they climbed higher, the temperature dropped lower and lower.
Even on the mountainside, Mike and Lilian could see the clouds floating nearby.
Lilian did not even have time to sigh.
Mike turned to Lilian and spoke first.
“I can’t believe that the mountainside of Winter Peak alone is comparable to the total elevation of other peaks!”
Then, Lilian also spoke up.
“I don’t know why, but this place reminds me of the snow mountain we went to previously. Do you still remember it?”
Mike nodded.
“Of course I remember it! But, I remember that the snow mountain at that time was not as high as the elevation here!
“However, the scenery here is almost the same!”
Lilian remembered, “That was the first time we really had contact with the people of the Lieluo Army, right?”
“You mean Dali!”
Mike said with a smile.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect this world to have passed by so quickly. The Lieluo Army has become the Lieluo Empire Now!”
“And those two little brats who managed the streets in the center of the Empire back then, one has now become the king of the Lieluo Empire, while the other has become the prince of the Lieluo Empire. It’s a very sobering thought!”
Mike listened to Lilian sigh.
Then, he opened his mouth and said, “That’s right! The world has indeed passed by too quickly!”
When Lilian heard Mike’s words, she looked at him with a serious face.
Then she asked.
“Mike, do you think we will be together forever?”
Hearing Lilian’s words, Mike was shocked and thought for a while.
Then, he looked back at Lilian and said, “Of course! We will be together forever!”
Lilian leaned into Mike’s arms and said slowly, “I love you, Mike!”
