After all... this Hei Malou did seem a bit abnormal.
...
Outside Cui Feng City, in a military camp at the base of a distant mountain.
At the base of that small hill covered in emerald green shrubs, a military camp sprawled out, the last rays of the setting sun gently casting a faint golden glow over the campsite.
Within the camp, cooking smoke curled up leisurely, dancing like whispers, speaking of the day's peace and the impending dusk.
Compared to the previous brutal war and fierce battlefield, this moment of peace was so precious.
In the camp, tents were arranged haphazardly, standing in orderly rows, much like disciplined soldiers, their silence exuding a formidable sense of power that was hard to ignore.
