Among countless worlds and layered heavens…
There exists a small, almost forgotten place.
🌍 Frostwillow Mortal Realm
A land of long winters.
Weak spiritual energy.
A realm where immortals are only myths told to children.
🕰️ The Night Of Birth
During the Silent Snow Month, when winter was at its coldest, something impossible
happened.
Snow stopped falling.
Not melted.
Not blown away.
Just… stopped in the air.
At that exact moment, inside a wooden house in Bamboo Mist Village, a child cried for the first time.
And the Child name is Ling Xiao
The moment his voice echoed—
A frozen river cracked open like glass
A withered tree outside grew silver leaves
Every sand clock in the village stopped moving
His mother, Mei Lian, felt her heart tremble.
His father, Zhao Tian, silently stepped outside and looked at the sky.
He whispered only one thing:
"Too early…"
👁️ Somewhere Beyond
An old man poured tea.
The tea flowed upward.
He smiled.
"So you finally arrived."
Xuan Kong placed one black chess piece on the board.
"Eight winters," he said quietly.
"I will wait."
🧒 The Boy Who Felt… Different
Ling Xiao grew in laughter, mud, and mountain winds.
But strange things followed Ling Xiao.
Once, while he was chasing ducks near the frozen river, he do mistake and slipped into the fell straight into the icy water.
Villagers panicked.
But when they pulled him out…
He was laughing.
Not coughing.
Not shivering.
Just laughing like it was fun.
Another time, he sat beside the village teacher, staring at a book meant for much older students.
Next morning, he corrected the teacher's mistake.
The teacher didn't speak for a long time after that.
One afternoon, while running across the mill yard, he tripped.
His shoulder hit the stone grain mill.
The mill cracked.
Villagers blamed old stone quality.
No one blamed the Ling Xiao.
😂 Ling Xiao Got The "Food Attacked" Incident
One day, Ling Xiao found a jade bottle hidden inside his father's old chest.
Inside was a dusty gray pill.
He sniffed it.
"Bitter."
He licked it.
Next moment—
A wave of invisible force blasted flour into the air like white smoke.
Kitchen turned into snowstorm.
Ling Xiao fainted.
When he woke up He said.
"Mom… food attacked me."
Mei Lian hugged him tightly.
She knew that pill.
A Body Tempering Pill.
Something that should never exist in Frostwillow Mortal Realm.
👦 Friends & Simple Joy
He spent days running through snow with:
Bo Chen Friend of Ling xiao — loud voice, brave heart
Mei Hua That's also a friend of ling xiao — sharp mind, calm eyes
They played hero games.
Ling Xiao always protected village.
Never ruled it.
When Bo Chen asked why, Ling Xiao said:
"Protecting feels warmer."
🕯️ The Decision
Winter deepened.
Snow covered rooftops silently.
One night, after Ling Xiao slept, Zhao Tian spoke.
"It's time to.
Mei Lian closed her eyes.
"If he stays… he will break this realm."
🌫️ The Unseen Watchers
Far away…
A chess piece moved on its own.
Xuan Kong smiled faintly.
And somewhere beyond realms…
Time paused for half a heartbeat.
