The snowy landscape surrounded us, and while I remained unaffected by the cold, Li Wei, despite being bundled up, continued to shiver. In response, I summoned Big.T and placed him on Li Wei's shoulder.
"What is this? It looks so cute," Li Wei commented.
"Big.T is his name. It will keep you warm."
Though I seldom revealed Big.T's true form—a mistake on my part, as he was a steadfast companion—he had always been by my side, an integral part of my abilities. A green aura enveloped Li Wei, and his discomfort from the cold visibly eased.
Our mission was to find the barbarian cultivators Shi Dengwei had mentioned, but the snowy expanse seemed devoid of any signs of their presence. Only the occasional scattering of houses broke the monotony of the white landscape.
Considering our options, I pondered whether it was a prudent idea to stop at one of these houses and gather more information.
