Before she could even look back, the crisp scent of frost filled her nostrils. By the time she processed it, a tall, slender figure had appeared before her.
His shadow completely enveloped her, forcing her to take a few steps back and crane her neck to look up at him.

Seeing her crimson lips part as if to speak, Ze Sheng already guessed her question. He nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "I'm looking for someone. Just happened to be passing through."
"Who are you looking for? Are they around here? Perhaps I can help," she said, her eyes curving into a smile.
