When Gu Jianlin first entered the Ancient God Realm, he was already preparing for the ascension ritual and gathering materials. ??????s ?????????????? ??s ???????????? ???? novel{f}ire
To ascend and beco the Cloud Lord, one needed a fierce and exhilarating battle.
Aside from that, extraordinary materials were essential.
Corrosive magma, eggs of the Calamity Ruins, hearts of mutants, roots of the Roaring Tree Monster, and strands of hair from the Charming Lady.
Among these, the hardest to find was the last material.
The so-called Charming Lady was actually a kind of human species. Since ancient tis, they had inhabited the Ancient God Realm. For a long ti, they were enslaved by the gods, and their minds and genetics mutated. They were born with an innate transcendent nature and preferred to inhabit cold environnts. As a female-centric race, they were naturally drawn to males.
This was an instinct derived from the evolution of their species.
After all, if they were not close to human males, their population would face extinction.
The Charming Ladies were naturally stunning in appearance, gentle and kind in personality, and practiced a polygamous lifestyle.
Many Ascenders, upon encountering the Charming Ladies, found themselves unwilling to leave.
So even refused to return to the real world.
"Oh, there's a human here."
The woman with icy blue hair called out, "Big White, Second White, Third White, co here quickly!"
Gu Jianlin was a bit surprised, as the woman spoke in impeccable Mandarin.
A single bark was heard.
Out of the wind and snow, three white Samoyed dogs darted out, ropes tethered to their bodies and a massive sled trailing behind them.
Sitting on the sled, wrapped in fur, was another beautiful woman, seemingly a sister.
This was the Charming Ladies' clan. Legends held that they were kind-hearted and known for helping humans—and this was clearly true.
For they had already placed Gu Jianlin onto the sled, covered him in heavy fur blankets, and even stuffed several hot water bags into his clothing to prevent him from freezing to death.
How considerate.
Gu Jianlin lay on the sled, thinking that his bag was still on him; perhaps they could help him retrieve a bottle of Spiritual Secret dicine.
However, he was gravely injured and close to being frozen, rendering him nearly speechless.
From the Charming Ladies' conversation, it could be discerned that the elder sister was nad Ah Lan, and the younger sister was nad Ah Yue.
Logically speaking, since the gate of the Qilin Immortal Palace had only recently opened, any contact with modern civilization should have only occurred recently. Yet, from their conversations, many contemporary terms could be heard. They even occasionally quoted Internet buzzwords, which was astonishing.
Their cultural level was significantly higher than that of so primitive tribes on Earth.
"It's been so long since we've seen a human on the Ice Field. And he's so badly wounded—what a pity."
"Boys really need to protect themselves when they're outside."
"Especially when they look this good. Sis, doesn't he look a bit familiar to you?"
As Gu Jianlin listened to the two sisters chat, he suddenly experienced a strong sense of déjà vu.
The sisters carried him, riding the dog-pulled sled, dashing across the blizzard-swept Ice Field.
After two or more hours, the howling wind and snow gradually subsided. In the distance appeared countless igloos, along with enormous bonfires, their flas roaring wildly with thick smoke curling into the sky.
These were the marks of civilization.
"Sorry about this."
Ah Lan lowered her head and looked at the pale-faced boy, apologizing, "Our husband has rules. Outsiders aren't allowed in unless we're sure they pose no threat. So, while I know you're from the Human World and probably have healing secret dicine on you, we can't take it for you."
Ah Yue stuffed another hot water bag against him and softly said, "Don't worry, we won't let you die. Once our husband sees you, he can heal your injuries."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself, as expected, these Charming Ladies had been educated.
They knew about the Human World and even about the secret dicine he carried.
The most critical piece of information he caught was a keyword.
Your husband!
He had a strong premonition: the sisters shared the sa husband!
In this Charming Ladies' tribe, there seed to be around thirty igloos. Once the young won realized a human male was present, they poured out of their hos to gawk. Each of them was stunningly beautiful, and naturally so—unadorned by makeup. So were delicate and cute, while others were seductive, cool, or sweet.
With so many beautiful young won, primitive yet wild, it was dazzling to behold.
However, none of these were Gu Jianlin's type.
Compared to Old Gu, these were all ordinary and unremarkable.
They couldn't even asure up to Thunder or the Moon Princess.
Still, by human societal standards, they could easily be movie star material.
"Wow, why does he look better than our husband?"
"Be more confident—drop the 'why does it feel like' part."
"But the more I look at him, the more familiar he seems. I can't figure out why."
Gu Jianlin felt like he had stumbled into a kingdom of won and was utterly disconcerted.
After what seed like an eternity, soone finally erged from one of the igloos. Despite the freezing environnt, a strong scent of alcohol wafted in the air. The figure staggered as though about to slip at any mont.
This person looked to be in their early twenties, with a sowhat handso face marred by stubble.
He was tall and broad-shouldered but appeared disheveled and unkempt.
"Husband is here!"
The Charming Ladies sward the man, surrounding him in adoration.
Once again, Gu Jianlin was astonished.
Amazing—it wasn't just the sisters sharing a husband.
This was an entire tribe sharing one husband!
"Ah, so Ah Lan and Ah Yue brought soone back? Seems like they had good luck."
