Inside the wooden hut of the village on a winter day, wafts of cooking smoke rose.
The savory fragrance of stewed pork with soybeans became increasingly rich and tempting. Hong Feibai, who was considered a rising talent in Fufeng, squatted in front of a stove, fan in hand, gently fanning the flames while stealing glances at the people inside the house, and secretly swallowing his saliva.
Not far from him squatted a tall man, over eight feet in height, who had removed his armor. In his thirties, his face was bruised and swollen.
Mountain River Spear Ma Hongkuo.
A master from one of the three great factions in the martial realm of Fufeng, the Giant Whale Gang.
With Seventh Rank cultivation, he was known for being ruthless yet principled.
