The icy wilderness, breath turned to frost.
In a cave, the flickering firelight created a stark contrast to the freezing world outside, as if they were two different worlds.
A wild rabbit and a roe deer were roasting over the fire, the dripping fat sizzled, and as bubbles kept forming, a meaty aroma was released. The flesh gradually turned golden, the delicious meal was nearly ready.
The mysterious figure sat on a rock, eyes fixated on the roasting meat, glancing occasionally at the still unconscious Ye Qiu.
"You, with your cruel nature, why can't you ever change?" The mysterious person spoke to the air, tone clearly filled with anger.
"You like playing the good guy, I prefer being the bad guy; is it wrong to do what one enjoys?" A cold voice followed, emanating from the mouth of the mysterious person.
The scene was somewhat eerie, the mysterious person was talking to himself, but the tone was distinctly different.
