The man had a head of silver hair, tall and straight, with a face more mature and stern than before. It was Yun Han, who hadn’t been seen for a long time.
He was leading a few beastmen from a patrol team, clearly also searching the area, and happened to encounter her.
When Yun Han recognized Shen Tang’s face, he was also stunned, clearly surprised to meet her here.
"You... Your Majesty, how did you come to be here?"
The other members of the search party were also in shock, to encounter this noble Majesty in the wilderness during a cold snap!
Shen Tang didn’t have time to answer before she heard a familiar call, "Tangtang!"
Immediately, a figure burst through the wind and snow, stormily pulling her into an embrace. It was none other than Xiao Jin, who had come rushing over.
Following behind, the rest of the group gradually arrived through the wind and snow.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Just as we were passing through the valley, a sudden blizzard struck, making it impossible to see anything ahead. After a few steps we turned around and found several people had gotten separated."
Fortunately, no one dared to stray far, so they quickly regrouped.
Shen Tang laughed, "I’m fine. I almost stepped into a void just now, fortunately I met Yun Han and his group."
Xiao Jin also looked at Yun Han and his group in amazement, not expecting to meet him here after so long.
Yun Han snapped out of it, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his voice low, "Recently, many people have gone missing in the area. We came to search as well, and we heard something, so we came over to check it out."
Shen Tang asked, "What happened just now? The wind and snow suddenly intensified, and we couldn’t see the road ahead."
Yun Han replied, "You just happened to encounter a cold snap. The chills here are very complicated, and if you’re not careful, you can quickly lose your way."
Even the beastmen native to the glaciers have lost many due to this, let alone newcomers like them.
When a cold snap hits, it’s incredibly dangerous, so Yun Han and his group had to suspend their duties and escort them back to the city.
The northern area is harsh and barren, with few cities. Lindong City is the largest main city in the north and the safest place.
But compared to the bustling central area, this place is much more rudimentary, where you can only see a few scattered beastmen on the streets.
Their houses are built of thick rock, and some places don’t even have electricity. Inside, there are only basic furnishings like tables, chairs, and beds. There would be a fireplace, or the floor would be hollowed out for heating, but there aren’t many decorations.
Shen Tang thought about how Yun Han had been living here since he left over a year ago, and felt a bit wistful.
In her memory, he was the Young Master Yun, with a haughty and proud personality, having had the best of everything since childhood, basking in the admiration of countless people. Now, he’s leading such a "frugal" life.
Yun Han walked into the house, removed his thick cape, and personally poured them a few cups of water, "Have some hot water to warm up."
Shen Tang took the hot water, "Thank you."
She looked at the silver-haired man in front of her, a little in a daze, realizing he was indeed different from before.
In just a little over a year, Yun Han had become much more mature and stern.
Perhaps because he hadn’t been grooming much, his hair was longer, falling behind his shoulders, and there was a faint stubble on his chin, making him appear weathered and stable, vastly different from the proud and youthful man of years past.
Holding the cup, Shen Tang looked for a moment before smiling, "Long time no see."
