    Chen Mo returned to the archway below Cangxue Town with Xiaodouding and Mushiqiu.

    Not long after, Miao Feiyu hurried back, "I've inquired; there's a big wind and snow tonight, and it'll take until tomorrow to set up the large formation."

    "Big wind and snow?"

    Xiaodouding frowned and looked up at the snow falling from the Tianshan Mountains, "The snow today is indeed heavy, but the Cangxue Town only goes without snow for two or three months a year, and I've never heard of people from Qianzhen Sect refusing to open the transfer because of wind and snow."

    In Xiaodouding's view, there is only one possible reason for Qianzhen Sect not opening the transfer formation: the person responsible for activating it is not present.

    She had encountered such situations before, but this reason seems somewhat strained today.

    "We'll wait till tomorrow, but today we should find a place to rest."

    Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry, casually waving his hand.

    "I was thinking the same thing. On my way here, I was thinking of finding a tavern to stay for the night, but..."

    Miao Feiyu spoke with an unhappy look on his face.

    Chen Mo looked out towards the town of Cangxue, where everything was quiet except for the endless snowfall.

    "I see, there must be someone who doesn't want us to stay here."

    Chen Mo laughed lightly.

    "Brother, what do you mean by that? Are there people deliberately targeting us? Damn it, I'll go give them a lesson now and make sure they know we're not someone they can provoke so easily."

    Xiaodouding has a volatile temperament. Anyone who disrespects her will not have a good outcome, otherwise she wouldn't have such a fearsome reputation.

    Chen Mo shook his head, "This Cangxue Town is under the protection of Qianzhen Sect. If we cause trouble here today, we won't be able to transfer out tomorrow either."

    "Let's find a place to rest. The wind and snow tonight are not peaceful."

    After saying that, Chen Mo turned and left.

    Xiaodouding and the others exchanged glances and then began to search for a place to rest.

    Compared to others, Xiaodouding, who is skilled in controlling insects, has eyes and ears that cover a radius of several li. It's still easy for her to find a place to rest.

    Not long after, Xiaodouding found an abandoned temple.

    Although it looks a bit dilapidated, with some cleaning, it can still be lived in. More importantly, some parts of the dilapidated temple can withstand the wind and snow.

    Chen Mo and others have space rings that contain bedding. They can simply summon it from the space ring and lay it on the ground to sleep.

    Miao Feiyu looked around and then, taking the hint, went out of the room.

    Chen Mo furrowed his brow, "The wind and snow are very strong tonight, what's the point of going out?"

    Miao Feiyu chuckled, "Although the wind and snow are strong, there are always people who behave inappropriately at night. I'll be on guard outside to prevent any mishaps."

    "With Xiaodouding's insect pests, any movement can be known right away..."

    Chen Mo thought for a moment and responded, "Okay, let's rest here for the night."

    Miao Feiyu's expression on his face became somewhat embarrassed. Just as he wanted to come back, Xiaodouding immediately added, "Brother, my insect pests are powerful, but they're not omnipotent. And it's snowing heavily today. The insect pests also need to rest, right?"

    "Okay, okay, my life is not worth as much as your insects..." Miao Feiyu forced a smile on his face and lightly glanced at Xiaodouding. In the end, he didn't dare to anger this Grandma.

    In Miao State, who doesn't know her fearsome reputation?

    Xiaodouding watched with satisfaction as Miao Feiyu left, then gave a glance to the meek Mushuqie.

    Although they are both insect cultivators, Mushuqie is like a grasshopper compared to Xiaodouding. She had even been taught a lesson by her years ago and had developed a psychological shadow. At the sight of her, she immediately lowered her head obediently.

    "Miao Feiyu alone can watch the door outside. Mushuqie, you should stay here."

    Chen Mo glared coldly at Xiaodouding, his gaze piercing through her little schemes.

    Xiaodouding was slightly annoyed in her heart, but she dare not defy Chen Mo, so she laid the quilt obediently. She even wanted to get closer to Chen Mo, but she was scolded and had to move over slightly.

    "Now you can sleep soundly."

    Chen Mo looked at the obedient Xiaodouding and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She curled up into the quilt, feeling secure and comfortable as she slept soundly.

    However, in a place that Chen Mo couldn't see, Xiaodouding's mouth curved slightly, as if she was up to no good.

    Mushuqie was not far from Xiaodouding, and upon seeing this, she was momentarily startled, followed by Xiaodouding's fierce gaze.

    "Sleep in peace."

    "Oh"

    Mushuqie crept into the quilt in a meek manner, and Xiaodouding also climbed into the quilt under Chen Mo's gaze.

    This sleep, Chen Mo slept very soundly until the middle of the night.

    Chen Mo, who was deep asleep, suddenly felt a heaviness on his body, as if something was pressing him down.

    Chen Mo immediately lifted the quilt, and as expected, Xiaodouding was grinning cheerfully on top of him.

    Noticing the quilt being lifted, Xiaodouding immediately reached out to snatch the quilt back and cover herself with it.

    "Brother, go to sleep."

    Chen Mo's face is black with embarrassment, "Go to your bed!"

    "Brother, I don't want to sleep with you, I just can't fall asleep."

    Xiaodouding made a cunning excuse.

    I believe you, little demon... Chen Mo's lips twitched as he tried to pull Xiaodouding out of the bed. But her hands were like clamps, tightly holding his waist, refusing to let go.

    After a struggle, Chen Mo couldn't pull Xiaodouding away either and had to sigh helplessly, "Well, if you're going to sleep, just be honest about it and don't lie on me."

    "Oh"

    Upon hearing this, Xiaodouding's heart was filled with joy. She turned her body and lay next to Chen Mo, but her hands still tightly held onto his waist, refusing to let go.

    Her little head moved step by step closer to Chen Mo's ear, breathing out warm air.

    Chen Mo, who was about to sleep, immediately jumped in fear. Is she testing the cadres like this?

    "Xiaodouding, if you don't sleep quietly, I won't let you stay here anymore."

    Chen Mo spoke with a dark expression.

    "Oh"

    Xiaodouding lightly replied but stopped being annoying. However, her eyes were full of deep meaning as she stared at Chen Mo.

    "Brother, when you said that you wanted to bring the old man back to life, why did you seem so unhappy? Do you have something on your mind?"
