Threads of Destiny (the other xianxia meat) 414-Taming Winter 3.

"I like how it feels around here." Hanyi’s pale eyes sparkled as she looked up at the cloud-wreathed peaks ahead. They stood on the lowest slope, the foot of the mountain. They had gathered quite a train of lesser faeries, a glittering, whirling constellation of icy lights winking among the clouds.

"The air is very clear," Ling Qi mused. It tasted crisp on her tongue and soothed her still burnt lungs, circulating a comforting chill through her charred organs and meridians. "We didn't discover this when we were surveying."

"I think it isn't always like this." Hanyi planted her chin on her fist. "Yeah, this isn't like Momma's house at all."

"A wandering site. Interesting." Ling Qi would need to report this to Renxiang and speak to the Meng geomancer they were promised soon. "No use just standing here. Let’s climb, Little Sister, and see who tries to bar our way."

"Oh, I can't wait!" Hanyi tossed her hair, glaring up at the winking lights overhead. "You all better watch closely!"

Ling Qi gave Hanyi's hand a squeeze and lifted her skirt hem in the other, and together, they began the long, rocky climb.

They climbed toward the clouds, and the clouds came down to meet them.
