The sun was brilliantly vaporizing our sweat and heat was prickling our skin. We had changed into loose, long-sleeved wears of wheat color and were walking slowly on the sand.

"It was also colder at night."
It was the next day and we had met up with Hanai company. They were a group that I came to know just a few days ago. Astonished that I was still alive, they gaped at my fortune when I told them I couldn't attend the family's feast that day and wasn't poisoned.
I expressed my remorse like any normal member of a family and told them of my resolution, that I'll become a great cultivator and hunt down Poison Asura one day!
"From where did you get this craoca?" asked Ule, Hanai company's scout. He patted the beast, feeling it's thick hide.
"Didn't you see it at the auction?" One of the girls sitting on a cart replied before I could.
