After he advanced, he looked at the bed, then looked at his entire body.

There was a foul stench, and his clothes were stained with dirt. Even the bed was covered in dirt.

Cardinal Cheng had changed into a new set of clothes. His grey robe had not been dried yet and his white robe was already dirty. Only his green robe was left.

After Cardinal changed into a new set of clothes, he walked out of the room. "Waiter, can I wash the bed and dirty clothes?"

The waiter, seeing that the Cardinal had said so, immediately replied, "Yes, yes, but it will cost you fifteen coins."

Cardinal Cheng smiled. "Fifteen pieces is fifteen pieces."

Then he took out the money and threw it to the waiter.

He found a table and sat down, saying, "Waiter, give me a pot of wine."

"What do you want, sir?" the waiter asked.

Cardinal thought for a moment before replying, "Aqua Flower Wine."

The waiter smiled and said, "Sure."

He took a jar of wine and gave it to the emperor, then headed upstairs to clean up the bed and clothes for him.

When he had just entered the room, the waiter had used his hand to fan the side of his nose. This customer seemed rather clean. Why is it so smelly?

Then he saw the bed covered in filth and the white robe covered in filth.

Hey! So it was just a superficial skill. It was really dirty in private.

The waiter pinched his nose. He earned a lot. Even if he had to clean up the toilet, he would do it himself.

Cardinal was downstairs as he poured himself a cup of water and a glass of wine.

Water Flower Wine was the one with the lowest alcohol consumption. Those who drank the most would drink the same amount of water. Therefore, it was known as Water Flower.

However, not only was the degree of the Water Blossom Wine low, it also had another name. If one were to pour it into the wind and drink it, they would become intoxicated as soon as the cold wind blew. It was unknown who had spread this name, but everyone said so, so it was as such.

Cardinal drank a cup of wine. The amount of water flower wine he drank was low, and it also had a faint, sweet taste. A sweet taste was contained within the wine.

Huai Cheng poured another cup. When a person had a happy occasion, he would drink half a cup too much.

The waiter busied himself with his room. He changed the bed sheets, changed the bedding, and changed the bedding. After changing, he took Cardinal's clothes and left the room, ready to go wash.

When he saw the waiter walk over, he raised his glass.

The waiter said, "I won't disturb the guests. I'll go wash my clothes and quilt first."

Cardinal knew that he wouldn't come over to drink, but he still raised his glass. He didn't know why, but he still raised his cup.

Perhaps joy could not be shared.

He drank another two cups and felt that it was meaningless. Thus, he returned to his room.

Lying on his back on the bed, he stared blankly at the ceiling. Unknowingly, he had fainted.

In the past, when he had advanced, he would go and act coquettishly to his master, reporting and showing off, and his master would be overjoyed from the progress.

Now, the advancement was only the advancement.

He slept through the night.

When he woke up in the morning, he operated his martial arts once more. As expected, it was extremely smooth.

He was even more certain in his heart that he had entered the Colourless World for four days.

Cardinal started cultivating once more, circulating his cultivation technique over and over again. He felt his entire body relax as he felt refreshed and refreshed.

After cultivating and eating, he asked the waiter if his clothes were dry and was ready to leave.

Clear Stream Town and Clear Stream were bordered.

Three towns, one stream, one forest, three villages. They were already halfway there, and Mount Hua was just around the corner.

Cardinal also entered the Colourless World for four days.

He made up his mind in his heart that the enmity of killing his family would start from Mount Hua.

Cardinal stayed another day, until his clothes were dry, then packed his luggage and headed for Mount Hua.

It had only been four days since he had left Clear Stream Town, but there was already no one around. Cardinal did not need to look at his geography to know that the Black Wind Forest was already right in front of him.

Why did Black Wind Forest have to be called such a name was unknown even to the Cardinal, who only mentioned a few sentences in the geography annals.

There were only two sentences.

There were tens of thousands of trees in the Black Wind Forest, and the Black Wind Forest extended for over a hundred miles.

Cardinal had entered the Black Wind Forest.

He suddenly understood why it was called the Black Wind Forest.

After entering the forest, the sun was not as bright as it was now. It was dark and gloomy.

The cool breeze blew past, like a little ghost whispering in his ear. The incessant whistling sound could be heard. The dense forest had a very heavy echo.

Even so, there was a sense of familiarity in his demeanor.

After all, he was thrown into the forest to train when he was young.

However, there was something different about this place. There were trees all around, and even if it was a living being, it seemed very simple. There were no tigers, monkeys, nor foxes, rabbits.

The only things Cardinal could see were a few small bugs and a few rats.

When Cardinal saw the rat, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the tenacity of the rat's life force and its ability to reproduce.

Cardinal had always hated mice, ever since he was a child, and now he was as well.

In the past, there were always rats at the Cardinal's place. In the past, there were always rats at the cardinals' place.

And then something happened that made Cardinal feel hopeless.

His master told him to kill the rat.

Right, kill the rat.

The fourteen-year-old Cardinal stayed in the granary night after night, just like a cat killing mice.

Cardinal had been a cat for a long time, and a mouse for a long time.

Cardinal hated its black fur, long tail, and intelligent eyes in the night.

But Cardinal had to admit, the rats really could not be killed.

Because there are more than a dozen mice born in each litter.

Then a dozen or so mice grew up within two months and gained fertility. Then the mice were reborn, then a dozen or so, then two months later, and were able to reproduce again.

Foolish men move mountains, and their children and grandchildren are endless.

The rats reproduce, and so do the children.

Moreover, the rat's ability to survive was very strong. No matter what environment it was in, it would be able to adapt to it.

Whether it was the wild rats or the mice at home, they were all extremely stubborn, enough to show the tenacity of life.

Cardinal saw the rat, but did not see any other animals. Towards the Black Wind Forest, Cardinal's favorability was very low.

At the same time, even if Black Wind Forest didn't have any rats, no one would have any good feelings towards them, because it was just too sinister.

Cardinal didn't care about all this. After walking for several kilometers through the Black Wind Forest, he used his sword to cut down the branches of many trees. With a rough cut, he made a small wooden shed.

Cardinal also found some firewood, and after igniting it, it added a bit of light to the dark forest.

Whenever there was fire, he could expel some poisonous scorpions or something.

Fire truly had the magic to disperse the cold and darkness.

Legend has it that the first time people obtained a spark was because when the Fire God descended to the mortal world, he accidentally lit a piece of wood, which happened to be seen by humans once again.

The man then kept the spark and went back to teach his people how to use it. They even found flint and drill wood to get it.

It was impossible to imagine how the world without flames would look like.

In the past, when Cardinal was in the forest, he also liked flames. Not only could flames provide warmth, they could also be used to roast meat.

When Cardinal was young, he had often raised fires to roast various kinds of meat, whether it was rabbits or pheasants. They were roasted until golden yellow, not greasy. If there was any salt, it would be a good meal.

Cardinal had eaten all kinds of animals, but he had never eaten a mouse.

However, from what his master said, mice could actually be eaten as well, and the taste was also quite good.

After starting a fire, the Cardinal actually began to think about whether he should eat a few rats to try the taste …
