Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1799: Chapter 574: The Goddess from a Foreign Land, Li Longyu

Hou Tong is fifty-three this year. When he was born, Zhaoyang was already a giant camp. Coupled with the unique background of the Longyou Alliance, he was exposed to the Quasi-town level Longshan Camp early on, and this resume is definitely not humble compared to everyone in the Southern Slope Territory.

Not being born humble means that he himself has a certain level of vision.

This vision, accompanied by Great Xia’s rapid development in recent years, now with the preliminary contacts with the Four Vassals of Moao River, as the Commander of the Beizhao Army in Xia City, he naturally encountered many matters concerning the Four Vassals, and his vision continued to rise.

Yet, even so, at this moment, he looked at the white-clothed woman above his head, his gaze fearful, yet still revealing a deep sense of inferiority, even unintentionally lowering his head. He understood that this reaction was not out of fear, but rather his inner self-doubt was overwhelming him.

The woman wore a glowing white long dress, with golden threads and Cloud Pattern embellishing the chest and sleeves, not the vulgar dyed type, but a nearly transparent golden material that he had never seen before, complementing the glowing white dress. The gold and white hues illuminated the night within a radius of more than ten meters, the woman in the center of this light appeared divine, dominating the space and making the entire sky lose its color.

She wore a gilded crown, rimmed with a circle of green jade, approximately thirteen pieces, even from tens of meters away, Hou Tong could feel the powerful energy emanating from those jades; at the front of the crown was a pearl, about half an inch in diameter, emitting a green light beam that occasionally scanned sideward, resembling a heavenly eye surveying the surroundings for the woman.

The woman’s full head of green silk was only half gathered by the crown, fixed by two blood-red warm jade gold hairpins, and two dangling ornaments on the forehead, while the rest half of the green silk fell behind the head, according to most Ice Abyss Camp conventions, this signifies that the woman is still unmarried.

Around her neck were three adornments, two gold, one jade, and her waist carried a red and a green Jade, the craftsmanship level of these five adornments visibly far exceeded that of Great Xia.

These are just minor details, the key is the deceitful object energy emanating from those adornments, causing Hou Tong’s Suppression Talisman at his chest to react extremely strongly, even making his chest faintly ache.

A few adornments can make the Suppression Talisman react this way, the strength of this deceitful monster is conceivable……..

Hou Tong simply dared not look at the face of the white-clothed woman, despite her attire and appearance suggesting she is definitely human, but at this moment, he was certain through the Suppression Talisman that this must be a newly appearing powerful deceitful monster.

“I’m doomed, doomed, this time I’m finished!”

Hou Tong’s inner despair was about to overflow, he couldn’t comprehend how just a trip back to the Southern Slope Territory could lead to such an encounter.

“Calm down, calm down… calm down, she hasn’t directly killed me yet, which means there’s a chance for negotiation, deceitful monsters love killing, yet they have intelligence, maybe it has other motives, it just asked me, what year is it now in Great Xia? Where is this place?”

Hou Tong forced himself to calm down, recalling the two questions the other asked, taking a slight breath, thinking in his head, his body trembling slightly as he bowed, and then slowly began to answer:

“To answer the lord’s question, it is now the thirteenth year in Great Xia, the seventh day of the first lunar month, this place is Bone-Eroding Path, about fifteen kilometers from the south exit…”

This deceitful monster knows about Great Xia and asked for a specific date, it’s likely to be a native deceitful monster from Moao River; but it doesn’t know its location, perhaps it was previously asleep and has just awoken, then presumably, it should have no grudge against Great Xia.

Hou Tong thought clearly, considered briefly, and continued: “My name is Wang Ming of Cai Qiu, Moao River people, being pursued by enemies, I’m fleeing south to Great Xia for refuge. If the lord has any use for me, please speak up, whether climbing mountains or diving into fires, I won’t refuse!”

After all, it’s for survival, telling a little lie doesn’t hurt, and it’s not like betraying one’s master, it still aligns with his identity as a Xia person.

After Hou Tong finished speaking, after a long time without a response, daring to look up, seeing the white-clothed woman’s face, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What kind of stunning face was this?

He couldn’t even find words to describe her, Hou Tong until now, the most beautiful woman he had seen was Lord Lady Li Xuanling, but this maiden in front of him, her face was not inferior to the lady’s at all, and due to the complement of those ornate accessories, she even appeared more noble than the lady.

Goddess beauty, unmatched by mortals!

With just one glance, these eight characters appeared in Hou Tong’s mind, causing him to freeze in place, his heart conflicted, on one hand, the deceitful monster’s leather bag was truly captivating, he couldn’t help but want to keep looking, but on the other hand, he was acutely aware of the danger of this action.

Until he met the maiden’s eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through everything, he instantly lowered his head, his entire being starting to feel guilty.

She saw through it, she knew he was lying!

“Cai Qiu people? Wang Ming?”

Hou Tong’s thought had just arisen when the maiden issued two slightly teasing questions, he still held some luck in his heart, assuming the maiden was just bluffing him.

“Your name should be… Hou Tong, right?”

But with the maiden’s next sentence, it completely shattered his sense of luck.
