Do you have any?" Bai Ye's voice was clear and steady. A voice from inside the house replied, "Please come in, the door is not bolted!" Then, there was the rustling sound of clothes being put on, carrying a hint of joy. Bai Ye gently pushed open the wooden door. Beside the fireplace, on a couch, lay a graceful figure in a pale yellow dress, her back to the door. Her waist was slender as a willow, her full, rounded hips like a full moon, and her black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Seeing this, Bai Ye did not enter. After all, it was inconvenient for the young woman to be alone. "Why does the young master linger outside? Come in and warm yourself so we can talk," the young woman's voice was clear and melodious.

Suddenly, a strange power surged into his body, making him stiff and unable to move. A gentle breeze caressed his face, and he was swept away by the soft wind, involuntarily drawn into that snow-white, warm embrace.

    Who says martial arts fiction is dead? There are sparks everywhere! I stumbled upon this new book and was quite surprised. The author's writing is fluent, the plot is meticulous, and the foreshadowing is intricate, capturing the essence of traditional martial arts fiction. Moreover, the world-building is quite remarkable, closely resembling ancient Chinese history. It's clear the author has put considerable effort into understanding the Warring States and Tang-Song periods. Furthermore, it's almost 400,000 words long, and despite the less-than-ideal readership, the author has persisted in updating, which is truly commendable. I must support it! Highly recommended.
