First Capital welcomed its first bout of snowstorms a month into the winter.

A dense, dark patch of clouds passed through the skies for a week straight. Plumes of snow pelted roofs and streets non-stop.

When things got out of hand and mortals began to suffer from cold, Fan Yueyin and Lei Family's patriarch took the matters into their own hands. With a combined strike, the duo parted the clouds and erased the brewing ice Qi.

Of course, the city still rested thirty-centimetres under snow.

As such, while adults began cleaning the streets, children poured out in crowds to play around.

This included Sun Jian.

Li Ao's cheeks twitched at the boy wearing seven layers of silk coats. His cheeks red, eyes bright, Sun Jian hauled him by his neck and dragged him out of the brothel towards Sun Estate.

He had but a thin robe on him...

When they arrived, Li Ao saw other unfortunate victims of Sun Jian's assault.

In the open garden were Qing Yan, Lei Jin, a few close servants of Sun family, and Sun Zhongyan...

Why was his master in the crowd as well?

Regarding the running children in curiosity, he let out Bubbles to play with Sun Jian 2.

As she wobbled away, something appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Ducking his head, Li Ao evaded a supersonic snowball to his face.

The white terror flashed past the gates and hit a poor pedestrian—the man flew two meters in the air and got buried in a snow pile.

Gulping, Li Ao looked at the blushing Sun Zhongyan.

''Aiya...have I become so old?' My hands aren't so accurate...'

He had three more snowballs in his hands.

''Why am I even here!?''

With his shout, a volley of snowballs focused on him.

Stomping on the snow, Li Ao leaped left and right, his Blood and Qi at full drive. Few snowballs grazed him and left white marks on his thin clothes.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The cold air seeped like a pick into his skin. Cursing, Li Ao employed Scarlet Path to warm himself up.

''No cultivation!''

With a shout, Fan Yueyin pointed at his direction.

Mid-air, a strange force sealed his Spiritual Qi. Li Ao's body stiffened, then a snowball buried itself into his face.

He snorted it in, coughed, and fell into another pile.

Seeing him play dead, Sun Zhongyan turned towards the other youngsters running out of his sight.

''Aiya, come on, don't let an old man to play by himself!''

Sun Jian kept laughing while his grandpa rained white terror on them. The boy kept falling and rising, and each time turned even brighter.

Qing Yan had a tight grip on her cap as she ran over the estate walls—with a single snowball Fan Yueyin knocked her down.

A pair of servants tried to run out the gate, but two shots to the back of their heads sent them into a pile of snow.

Their heads sticking inside, the duo saw the slithering Li Ao.

''Shh!''

The duo looked at each other, decided that suffering was best shared by others, and took him by his arms.

''No! Let go! Let go, you devils! I didn't ask for this—''

Li Ao flew in the air, screaming, and Fan Yueyin let out a whistle.

Another snowball found its way into Li Ao's nostrils.

He snorted it in again and crashed down.

Then, however, he let out a shout.

His body emerged with a blast of snow and ice.

''I've been tortured enough! Come on, let me give you old geezers a lesson!''

Employing his Physique, Li Ao buried both arms into the snow. His arms popped, veins emerged on his forehead, and in a lunge a ten meter snow pile lurched over the air towards Fan Yueyin.

''You want to compare Fleshly power with me!?''

Her eyes glinting, a smile on her face, Fan Yueyin repeated his actions.

She buried both arms, grunted, and lunged forward.

A twenty-meter wide pile of snow rose in response! An icy mist trailed both projectiles as they met in the air, then Li Ao's screams echoed within the point of impact.

Dusting her hands, Fan Yueyin looked at the flaggerbasted Qing Yan.

Beneath her cap was Sloth, making her head his place of sleep.

A sharp glint passed her eyes.

''Master—''

Another twenty-meter snow pile rained on Qing Yan.

Watching the proceedings, the pair of servants gulped in relief. At least Sun Zhongyan just mixed rocks within snowballs instead of drowning them...

While these giants ran all around them, Sun Jian 2 and Bubbles had their own showdown.

Two girls chased each other on the wide snowy plains.

Whenever Bubbles reached close enough to tag Sun Jian 2, latter would jump thirty centimeters in the air, completely avoiding her appendage.

This happened several times in a row, and Sun Jian 2 trembled in ridicule at her younger sister.

At last, Bubbles broke.

With a shrill bubbling, she enveloped a pile of snow, compressed it, then lashed at it with her appendage.

The snowball flashed past both their sight and left a shockwave behind.

With a loud boom, it hit its target. A shadow cast over them.

The shocked sisters looked up at Fan Yueyin's snow cowered face. She showed a gentle smile at the dazed expression on them.

Plucking pieces of snow off her eyelashes, she flicked her hands. A pair of snowballs appeared in her giant hands.

Bubbles and Sun Jian 2 shared a look.

Then both of them began to run in different directions.

Sloth slept through the entire ordeal...

After several hours, none of the children had the ability to move a finger.

Laughing at his masterwork, Sun Zhongyan gathered them inside the estate.

The servants lit fires to heat the beds and prepared warm tea and snacks for them. In the end, helpless, Li Ao was forced to spend the night there with them.

Meanwhile, a particular Zhu Qiu was being bothered by Master Jiao and Riri to play in the snow...
