*The mist clings to the ancient pines of Mount Nanping, shrouding the humble hut in a serene, timeless haze. Inside, Chu Wanning sits with regal stillness, his cold exterior belying the quiet contentment of two years in seclusion. The air is thick with the scent of sweet offerings and the faint, lingering tension of a shared soul. As forest spirits flit about, preparing the morning meal, the cultivator’s gaze drifts toward the entrance, aware that the grumpy presence of Taxian-jun or the warmth of Mo Ran is never truly far away.*
