The Rebirth Of Ice Emperor
Chapter 8 - Windless Heights Valley

In the morning – am blind saw the silhouette of a child with a sweat bath, he just finished transporting all the crops of his farm since the sun has not shown its shine. He hunted – hunted moving towards the river to clean themselves.

After changing his clothes, the boy stepped behind his little hut. Putting together two hands to pray in front of two small simple stone headstones.

“Dad, Mother. Good morning, may our vegetable – vegetables today sell ya”

The residents of Windless Heights Valley live in several small villages scattered around. In order to meet the needs of life, usually people – people work as farmers, farmers, and traders.

They knew a pair of old farmers named Lingxin and Yimu, both of whom were one of the main food supply providers throughout the valley. Because it includes low-class people, each – does not have a clan.

But it did not bother Lingxin or Yimu at all, shocking news reached the ears of the surrounding population. When the sky was turbulent, Yimu was surprisingly pregnant when he was seventy years old.

There began to circulate many strange rumors about her pregnancy, many linking the incident with a demon. But Lingxin ignored them and still loved his wife wholeheartedly, nine months later was born a son – healthy boy.

He was given the name Lian, because it had the fragrant scent of a strange lotus flower coming out of his body for no apparent reason. This family of small farmers lives happily, little Lian was taught how to grow crops by both parents.

Just when Lian was ten years old, Lingxin and Yimu died. Leaving Lian alone lived in a reot hut while taking care of their farmland. It has been a year since that incident.

Lian grew up as a cheerful child also hardworking, she began to be known to – people as a traveling vegetable trader. Although still amazed – wonder how it is possible that such a small child is already proficient in planting and pulling a large cart alone.

Almost every week, Lian will visit from one village to another accompanied by an old wooden cart made by her father. Selling – vegetables fresh vegetables, some people have become its regular customers. Not only because they feel sorry, but Lian's sales are famous for having a good reputation.

That morning in the village of Riverchill the rustling of a wooden wheel along with a soft familiar voice began to sound, the residents immediately let out their heads from the window waiting for the perpetrator to see the noise.

“Fresh warrior! Fresh vegetables! Buy healthy green vegetables!!!”

“Lian’er I asked for the turnip half a kilogram”

“Good!”

“Nak!? Give me some carrot sticks for rabbit – my rabbit”

“Coming-come”

“Lian are there any spinach left?”

“Ah! There are! I leave five ties for you Aunt Zhong”

Lian smiled satisfied to realize that her vegetables had been reduced by half, when she was about to leave the village. Appeared out of nowhere – children older than him hit each – each side of the cart until it toppled.

“Ahh....!?”

“Ups...sorry, we do not see a lowly cockroach like you” one laughs loosely staring at Lian sitting lethargic because her merchandise is messy and dirty.

“Chun Ah...”.

There were three influential families in Windless Heights Valley, one of which was Chun. They had tremendous wealth because they almost controlled all the trade in the remote region, you could say that Chun had monopolized the economy of every corner of the valley.

This causes – people who come from the Chun family to have a cocky temperament and demean the people below like Lian. That is what Chun Ah is doing now, the third Young Master of the Chun family. Disturbing Lian as if to be a – day meal for her.

“Hehehe...you are dexterous as well, as I recall only two days ago I punched the belly of your cart”.

“You how else? If left unchecked I can't eat”

“Hah!? You seem to be getting a little cocky because – fools there buy your disgusting sales. Feel in—”

“Berhen—“

About five other tall children immediately grabbed Lian, so she just stared sadly at the remaining vegetables planted by her painstakingly crushed one by one by Chun Ah with her company.

So tired, Chun Ah moved quickly to throw a kick towards Lian's face. The boy closed his eyes, but the pain of Chun Ah's leg never came. The sound of horses as if announcing the arrival of someone.

“Let go of him!”

“Xiuxiu..you are charming as always”.

Chun Ah jokes greeted laughter friends – his friend, but not a long time slap hard landed on his right cheek. Sweet girl of Lian's age stared low at Chun Ah, then hunted – to help Lian.

“Lian? You okay – what?”

“Nona Lu!? What are you doing?!” ask Lian pale.

The daughter was named Lu Xiulan, the fifth daughter of the Lu family. One of the three most influential families in the entire Windless Heights Valley. This family is famous for having a luxury restaurant business as well as a classy clothing store, especially most of their family members are scholars – intelligent scholars driving the change of the region.

“Xiulan!? How dare you slap me for this walking shit!? My dad never even hit me!”

“Good! Then let me teach you a lesson! Don't think because you're a few years older I'm afraid of you Chun Ah”

“Girls kepa—“

“Touch my daughter and I'll make sure you get a reply worth”

“Ugh!?”

A middle-aged man in a mustache in luxurious clothes approached the commotion just now on a mighty gallant horse. Highlight his sharp eyes full of search, a sign that he has high intelligence. A powerful radiated aura adorned the surroundings.

“Uncle Lu....” Chun Ah looks down weakly followed by friends – friends.

“Ha.ha.ha.ha.ha!!!” Lu Xiulan laughed as a sign of victory.

“Go, tell your dad I'll visit”

Without being able to smash Chun Ah nodded before leaving the location while cursing inwardly. Family head Lu sighed while shaking his head at the behavior of – children today. Lu Xiulan saw some vegetables still not degraded deftly picking them up.

“Young Miss Lu don't have to bother – fuss!?”

“Let me help you, what a pity, right? Lian stopped calling me that, we've known each other for a long time. Just call me Xiulan, understand?”

“Which can be as easy as—Family Head forgive me for making Young Miss's clothes so dirty!“

“Ahahaha...set your head Lian, calm down. We're looking at everything that's going on, to solve the problem with the Chun family let me take care of it. What's more what if..”.

Xiulan's father then surprisingly made an offer to Lian to buy all her vegetables. At first Lian hesitated because most of their condition had been broken and torn, but the man responded casually.

“Select the ones that are still in good condition continue to deliver to Ruby Cloud, this is the pay”

“P..Pa...Uncle!? Too many!? I can't afford to give you back” Lian said gawking at a bag full of gold.

“Hehehe keep it, consider it a gift from me so you can fix your wagon. Come Xiuxiu”

“Good Dad, see you Lian. We'll talk again!?” Xiulan moved nimbly up to the mount that belonged to her father.

“I'll deliver soon! Thank you very much!!”
