Chapter 43 - Chapter 33 – Roots of a Clan (~1200 words)

Seasons passed. Coldwater flourished subtly, foundations strengthening.

Leng Tian now carried two children through village lanes, Yuexin at his side. Everywhere, villagers greeted respectfully. Children imitated him, drawing frost patterns in snow. Even skeptical hunters now bowed lightly when passing.

One evening, under aurora skies, the elder called congregation.

"Our survival has long been fragile," he said. "But now, because of Tian and the Frost Manual, even weakest grow strong. It is time… Coldwater is no longer merely a village."

Whispers erupted. The elder's tone deepened: "We will honor Tian's family, his teachings. Let us build Leng Clan, foundation of eternal frost."

Thunderous cheers answered. Villagers embraced the idea; they found pride after years of shame.

And Leng Tian, once the useless child mocked in corners, stood at center—his cheeks damp, holding Yuexin's hand tightly, murmuring:

"A clan… yes. The Leng Clan."

Unseen, the Eternal Tome flared brighter than before:

First Clan Foundation Established. Root Status: Stable. Bloodline Heritage Activated.

The seed had sprouted into its first evergreen.
