Liu Zheng discusses the need for a sword cultivator or someone with an Innate Sword Body with Ouyegan, who reveals the purpose of crafting a special sword for his daughter Rong Er. Liu Zheng then joins Ma Baoli and Ouyegong, reminiscing about how Liu Zheng and Ma Baoli first met. Liu Zheng departs to gather materials and meet with Bai San, who is mourning his wife but grateful Liu Zheng saved his son, Bai Tianshi. Liu Zheng gives Bai Yutang a Medicine Sword, 'Panshi,' and obtains passage to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains through the Hedgehog Path. He then meets the Snow Horse and claims to have fulfilled his promise.

"There's no way to know."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Trust is always based on personal judgment, and I believe we already have a foundation of mutual trust. After all, if I really wanted to harm you, your base would have been surrounded by now."

His tone was sincere, yet carried a hint of arrogance.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

The Snow Horse looked him in the eyes for a few seconds and nodded calmly.

Since the last time it came out and fought with Liu Zheng and his group, it suddenly felt that merely living in the cave was somewhat monotonous.

Its master was dead beyond resurrection, and if it had any intentions left, it was to help its master achieve the dream of conquering the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Given the Snow Horse's current strength, becoming a Demon King of a region was naturally no problem, but conquering the Ten Thousand Great Mountains seemed like a pipe dream.

Thus, it must become stronger.

Whether this is a scam or not, the ultimate result is just a meeting with its master.

It can also take the opportunity to see how the city has transformed.

"Alright. Besides, I want to purchase some Cold Spring Water from you, at least ten liters."

Liu Zheng stated the second matter.

"I've plenty of Cold Spring Water in my belly, I'll give it to you once we're in the city."

The Snow Horse replied.

As a Divine Beast born from the ice-cold powers of heaven and earth, its body is the best container besides the spring itself.

It also needs to store some Cold Spring Water as a backup energy source.

"Okay. Let's go then."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Wait, I need to go back first."

The Snow Horse suddenly said.

"What happened?"

"Since I'm seeking guidance, it's too impolite not to bring a gift."

It said.

"If you have any alcohol, you can bring some, Brother Ma loves drinking."

Liu Zheng reminded.

"I don't have alcohol, but what I've prepared should be liked by any horse."

After saying that, the Snow Horse transformed into a mist of ice and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Mr. Liu, aren't you afraid it won't come back?"

Bai San asked.

The previous experience of being chased by the Snow Horse was too intense, and he still felt lingering fears.

"If it doesn't come back, then so be it. Don't you know where its cave is? We can just go find it ourselves. But at that time, I won't be communicating as a friend."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

Although he has quickly developed a terrifying network in the Metropolis, he never considered himself to have much charm or thought that everyone should want to be his friend.

He got so much support because he can keep growing the pie and then slicing it.

If one day Liu Zheng can't make the pie, those slices might just cut him.

Fortunately, he's a player; besides being smashed to pieces, he can settle the instance and let them go their way.

"I hope it understands this; being your friend is much easier than being your enemy."

Bai San mused.

"Also not that easy, look at your son, I have him running around all day."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Haha, you've underestimated him. Back when he was the chief resident, not sleeping for three or four days was common. Working for you is like a vacation."

Bai San laughed.

"Is that so? Then I might need to increase his workload."

Liu Zheng pondered.

"Uh, that's really not necessary."

Bai San said awkwardly.

Oops, seems like he's dug a hole for his son.

After chatting for a while, the Snow Horse returned.

Liu Zheng looked left and right but didn't see anything special.

"What gift did you bring?"

He asked curiously.

"This."

The Snow Horse spat out a translucent orange-yellow carrot resembling amber.

"Do all horses like eating carrots?"

Despite being from the countryside, Liu Zheng was somewhat ignorant of this.

After all, the countryside rarely raises large livestock now, if they do, it's usually cattle.

"Yes. This is the most delicious carrot in the Metropolis, given to me by my master. There were only three, I've eaten two, and now there's only one left."

The Snow Horse nodded.

"Why don't you keep it, I'll help you prepare a different gift that Brother Ma is sure to like."

Liu Zheng said.

He can always add a bottle of Golden Label.

"No need."

The Snow Horse shook its head.

"Alright, let's go then."

Liu Zheng and Bai San got into the car, and the Snow Horse turned into a foal and boarded as well.

On the way back to the city, he first sent Bai San back to the Hundred Herbs Hall, then proceeded with the Snow Horse to the cemetery.

With the sound of hooves approaching, the Tomb Guardian rode a Skinny Horse up to them.

"What's the matter?"

The Tomb Guardian asked.

"Honorable Tomb Guardian, this is my friend Snow Horse. It wishes to learn from your steed on how to become stronger and hopes to get your approval."

Liu Zheng said respectfully.

Even though he is now very familiar with the Tomb Guardian, posture is still important when in front of others.

Many people, once they develop a private relationship with a leader, tend to bring this dynamic into work, and in the end, they get sidelined without knowing why.

"What do you say?"

The Tomb Guardian patted the Skinny Horse.

"Whinny~"

The Skinny Horse nodded vigorously.

Not to mention its relationship with Liu Zheng, the rare opportunity to show off before its kind was certainly to be seized upon.

"Then go ahead."

The Tomb Guardian dismounted.

"Whinny~"

The Skinny Horse came over, touched noses with the Snow Horse, and they ran together into the Gobi Desert.

Training certainly needs practical battles; if they damaged the ground, repairs would be needed. Going to the Gobi Desert allowed them free reign.

"Thank you, honorable Tomb Guardian, a little token, please accept with pleasure."
