    Chapter 299

    Su Hao and Yashan flew at supersonic speed for five hours before finally crossing the seemingly endless ocean and setting foot on this chaotic continent.

    The moment Su Hao landed, he extended his mental tendrils and carefully sensed the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

    He immediately noticed the difference.

    The activity of space here far exceeded that of Zhongzhou.

    Summoning beasts from the Secondary Star was significantly easier, and every so often, the fluctuations would exceed a critical threshold, naturally opening a spatial passage that pulled nearby Secondary Star beasts into this world.

    As if responding to Su Hao's thoughts...

    About five hundred meters ahead, space suddenly distorted slightly.

    A round-eyed lazy monkey appeared out of thin air, sitting on the ground while happily chewing on a fat green worm.

    Its face was full of bliss.

    Then it took another bite...

    And froze.

    Its not-so-large brain slowly began processing a single question.

    Where am I?

    When it finally noticed Su Hao and Yashan staring at it from afar...

    It let out a terrified scream, tossed the delicious worm into the air, and fled on all fours as fast as it could.

    A satisfied smile appeared on Su Hao's face.

    "This is a good place."

    Yashan looked around in confusion.

    How could Boss Wei tell?


    ---

    The two continued flying across Kitano Continent for another two hours before finally discovering a human settlement.

    After circling above it, they found that the surrounding terrain consisted almost entirely of open plains.

    There was nowhere suitable to conceal or construct a base.

    After eating a simple meal in the town, they immediately continued flying north.

    Three more hours later...

    Night had completely fallen.

    At last, they found a suitable location.

    Mountain peaks rose one after another, each covered in thick layers of snow and ice.

    The surroundings were utterly silent.

    Only the occasional howling wind echoed across the frozen mountains.

    Comparing their position with the map and adjusting their direction, they flew toward a cluster of distant lights.

    According to the map, it was Huaiyuan Town, the gateway settlement before Bugui Town.

    Nearly everyone entering Kitano Continent passed through this place.


    ---

    Landing outside the town, Su Hao walked across the thick snow and said,

    "We'll stay here tonight."

    "Tomorrow we'll buy supplies and equipment."

    Neither he nor Yashan wore clothing suitable for such an environment.

    The cold wind cut through them mercilessly.

    Yashan shivered continuously.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "It's unbelievably cold."

    "When we were flying, the black crystal armor blocked the cold, but now..."

    "I even tried using the Fire Dragon rune."

    "But I couldn't control it properly."

    "I nearly burned my clothes."

    Only then did Su Hao realize the problem.

    He looked at Yashan curiously.

    "Hm?"

    "I never engraved the High Temperature rune for you?"

    Yashan nodded helplessly.

    "When you engraved my core composite runes, you said the High Temperature rune overlapped with the Fire Dragon rune."

    "So you skipped it."

    "I've never had one."

    Then his eyes lit up.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Is the High Temperature rune warm?"

    Without another word, Su Hao casually drew a High Temperature rune and attached it to the outer layer of Yashan's clothes.

    "Warm enough to make you sweat."

    "Let's go."

    Warmth instantly flowed throughout Yashan's body.

    He shivered comfortably.

    Almost letting out a satisfied groan.

    A long breath escaped his mouth.

    His entire body relaxed.

    Following behind Su Hao, he muttered,

    "How can anyone live somewhere this cold..."


    ---

    As they entered the town...

    Bright hotel signs lined both sides of the street.

    Besides ordinary hotel advertisements...

    Various questionable advertisements were displayed just as openly.

    Having already reached the literacy level of an elementary school student, Yashan slowly read them aloud.

    "Young girls..."

    "Young women..."

    "Young wives..."

    "Bed warming..."

    His eyes widened.

    "They're so considerate!"

    "They even provide bed-warming services because it's cold here!"

    He turned excitedly toward Su Hao.

    "Boss Wei!"

    "Should we order a bed warmer?"

    Su Hao remained expressionless.

    "Yashan."

    "You'll only be thirteen after the New Year."

    Yashan blinked.

    "...What does that have to do with anything?"

    Su Hao replied calmly,

    "We're getting separate rooms tonight."

    "If you're interested..."

    "Go ahead and order one."

    "You'll understand soon enough."


    ---

    If Yashan actually ordered that so-called bed-warming service...

    Su Hao could already predict the entire sequence of events without opening his eyes.

    A beautiful woman would knock on the door.

    Upon discovering a thirteen-year-old boy inside...

    Her surprise would quickly turn into delight.

    Then she would either try every seductive trick imaginable...

    Or...

    A group of burly men would suddenly burst into the room midway through everything.

    Accusing Yashan of seducing someone else's wife.

    Demanding an enormous compensation fee.

    As for all those romantic developments afterward...

    Su Hao wasn't interested in imagining them.

    If things became troublesome...

    He could simply bury everyone involved and move somewhere else.


    ---

    Hearing Su Hao say that only made Yashan even more curious.

    After entering the hotel...

    He was shocked by the prices.

    Even someone who wasn't lacking money found them outrageous.

    After booking the two best rooms...

    He stood on tiptoe at the reception counter.

    "Miss..."

    "How much does the bed-warming service cost?"

    The receptionist stared at the young-looking boy in surprise before looking him up and down.

    With a teasing smile she asked,

    "Little brother..."

    "Are you sure you can handle it?"

    Yashan frowned.

    "Why wouldn't I?"

    She smiled knowingly.

    "Alright."

    "I'll arrange one of our young girls for you."

    Yashan hesitated.

    His curiosity battled his caution.

    Eventually...

    He remembered Boss Wei's earlier words.

    Shaking his head decisively, he said,

    "Forget it."

    "I don't need it."

    The receptionist sighed regretfully.

    "What a pity..."


    ---

    Although the hotel was expensive...

    Its facilities were excellent.

    Heating quickly filled the rooms with warmth.

    After an exhausting day's journey...

    Su Hao set up his warning runes, climbed beneath a thick quilt, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

    Yashan lay awake for quite a while.

    Still wondering what exactly a "bed warmer" really was.

    Eventually...

    He also drifted off to sleep.


    ---

    The following morning...

    After packing their belongings, the two left the hotel.

    However...

    Just outside the town...

    Three men blocked their path.

    Wrapped tightly in thick coats, only their eyes remained visible.

    The man standing in the middle spoke coldly.

    "I won't make things difficult."

    "Hand over twenty thousand."

    "And you can leave."

    "Otherwise..."

    He pulled a gleaming machete from beneath his coat.

    The threat couldn't have been more obvious.

    Su Hao's voice was even colder than the surrounding snow.

    "You rob even thirteen-year-old children?"

    The man sneered.

    "Out here..."

    "We only recognize money and blades."

    "Not age."

    Su Hao asked calmly,

    "And if I refuse?"

    The robber grinned.

    "Simple."

    "We'll strip you naked."

    "And take everything you've got."

    "Don't expect anyone to save you."

    "There are no heroes on this continent."

    Another man stepped forward, speaking in a much gentler tone.

    "Little brother..."

    "Think it over carefully."

    "In this frozen wasteland..."

    "Which matters more?"

    "Your money..."

    "Or your clothes?"

    "We're not greedy."

    "Twenty thousand is enough."

    "Someone who can afford this hotel won't miss that little bit of money."

    "We always keep our promises."

    "Pay us..."

    "And we'll let you leave."

    As he spoke...

    The third man silently drew his machete.

    Ready to strike the instant Su Hao refused.

    One intimidated.

    One persuaded.

    One prepared to kill.

    The three clearly had plenty of experience robbing travelers.
