In the small mountain village, houses stood in orderly fashion, with wisps of cooking smoke curling upward.
As soon as Li Qing's feet touched the ground at the entrance of the village, all the matters weighing on his heart seemed to drop away in an instant.
There was no barrier separating this place from the outside world like the ones at aristocratic families' "Cave Heaven," but in Li Qing's heart, there was one.
No matter what he did outside or what trials and tribulations he faced, whenever he returned here, his soul instantly quieted down.
The small mountain village might not be an idyllic paradise, but its mountains, water, even the air and sunshine, felt different to Li Qing from those of the outside world. They seemed to possess a magical effect that soothed his soul, allowing him to fully relax, unwind, and enjoy himself.
