Chapter 372: Hello, Niece
In the snowstorm, a young girl wearing a snow-white velvet coat slowly descended from the sky in front of them.
When everyone saw her face, they subconsciously felt their hearts beat fiercely. In this snowstorm, the woman who suddenly appeared was as beautiful as this snowflake.
However, they did not dare to have the slightest bit of disrespect in their hearts. It was obvious that this woman and the black-robed man from before were traveling together. They were people who could even defeat such a monster. Their strength was simply unimaginable.
Ruth looked at this woman dressed in snow-white clothes and subconsciously became vigilant.
The Northern Land Spirit looked at them with interest and said, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
The bodies of the surrounding soldiers trembled. Ruth was incomparably vigilant. She could faintly feel that this woman in front of her had a trait that did not belong to life.
“We are travelers passing by! Sorry to bother you…”
The Northern Land Spirit revealed an interested smile. She faintly circled around Ruth, sizing her up, and said, “I seem to have seen you before.”
Ruth’s heart trembled, but her expression did not change. This woman gave her an extremely dangerous feeling. This was an absolute suppression of strength.
The woman in front of her was at least at tier-7 or higher!
However, Ruth was still able to maintain her mind. Her soldiers had already been unconsciously seduced by the Northern Land Spirit, and their minds were blank.
“May I ask… are you the Snow Maiden?” a soldier asked in a daze.
Legend had it that in the Northern wilderness, there was a kind of fairy called the Snow Maiden. They would often transform into the image of a beautiful woman, using their beautiful looks to attract travelers in the wind and snow, and then kill them.
“Snow Maiden?” When the Northern Land Spirit heard this, she burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she rocked back and forth.
Even in this harsh environment, seeing such a beautiful woman laughing, the surrounding soldiers felt their hearts tremble violently.
“That’s right! I am the Snow Maiden!” The Northern Land Spirit held back her laughter.
The expressions of the surrounding soldiers instantly changed drastically.
If it was really the Snow Maiden, they would not be able to escape this calamity!
At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart was suddenly heard from the wind and snow in the distance.
The Northern Land Spirit turned her head with a smile and said, “You don’t have to worry. I’m not interested in you guys. I am…”
She extended her snow-white finger and slowly pointed at herself as she said with a faint smile, “A married woman!”
…
In the sky, Su Han flew in the direction of the Northern Land Spirit. Vaguely, he saw the dozen or so people beside the Northern Land Spirit.
Just now, he was fighting with that magical beast, so he didn’t notice that there were actually other people here.
Boom!
Su Han landed beside the Northern Land Spirit, and the dozen or so people retreated continuously.
Looking at this person’s back view, Ruth’s breathing became slightly heavier. Could it really be him?
But how was this possible? It had only been four months, and he had already grown so strong?
“How is that person?” the Northern Land Spirit asked.
Su Han said, “Unfortunately, that person escaped. However, her magical beast has already been killed by me.”
The surrounding soldiers were shocked. Just a moment ago, they had only guessed. Now that they heard him personally admit it, this kind of shock made them feel even more terrified.
Such a huge creature was actually killed by this man. This man was too terrifying!
“Su Han!?” Ruth suddenly said.
Immediately, the surrounding soldiers looked at her with incredulous expressions in their eyes.
Could it be that their commander knew this man?
When Su Han heard this voice, his body moved slightly. He slowly turned around and revealed his face. His lips curled into an arc.
“Long time no see, Niece!”
In an instant, one could hear a pin drop around them.
The surrounding soldiers revealed shocked expressions. They looked at Ruth, whose face was filled with disbelief, and their hearts were in turmoil.
What? This man actually called their commander ‘niece’!
Could it be that this man was Ruth’s uncle!?
However, he clearly looked like he was only in his teens. How could he be Ruth’s uncle?
However, they immediately realized that some people who had cultivated to a terrifying realm could not tell their true age from their appearance. Their lifespans could easily reach hundreds of years. Such people were all monsters!
Since when did Ruth have such a terrifying uncle!?
“Are you really Su Han?” Ruth could not suppress the shock in her heart. She was unwilling to believe that the terrifying youth in front of her was the tier-3 mage that she still needed to take care of in her impression!
Su Han smiled and rubbed his temples. He took off the hood on his head and said, “Have I grown a lot taller? It’s understandable that you can’t recognize me.”
The two years in the Shattered World had only passed three months in the Second Continent.
Ruth felt a little dizzy and asked, “That’s impossible. At that time, you were still a tier-3 mage. How could you grow so fast in just a few months?”
Su Han shook his head helplessly and took out the life-saving bracelet that Ruth had given him before he left.
“Do you still recognize this?”
Ruth looked at it and was shocked. That’s right, that bracelet was the one that she had given to Su Han in fear that something might happen to him.
She looked up at her face in disbelief and said, “Are you really Su Han?”
Su Han smiled bitterly and said, “It’s the real deal.”
This time, Ruth was even more shocked. For a moment, she could not say a word.
Su Han looked at the dozen of them and realized that they were all injured. His heart moved and he vaguely felt that something might have happened in the South.
He asked, “Ruth, why are you here? This place is far away from the Saint Laurent City’s area. If you walk a little further North, you will step into the Northern Human territory.”
Hearing Su Han’s question, Ruth’s expression instantly darkened.
Su Han saw that something was wrong with her expression and frowned. “Did something happen in Saint Laurent City?”
Ruth took a deep breath and said, “Saint Laurent City has fallen!”
…
Ruth told Su Han everything that had happened in the Human Empire.
Ever since he had left, the conflict between the orcs and the Human Empire had become more and more intense. Even so, it was still within the control range. However, the internal strife in the Empire had directly caused the morale of the border to drop like a precipice.
The orcs seized the opportunity and pressed down on the border. Within a period of time, they had broken through several human cities!
The human’s border was completely lost.
And the first to bear the brunt was Saint Laurent City!
The orcs had sent out a tier-7 battle force, almost burning the entire Saint Laurent City to the ground!
