"Excuse me, miss, may I bother you? Do you live around here?" Lu Jinyan asked the woman cautiously.

"Yes, I live nearby. Is there something you need, young lady?" The woman was puzzled. With such heavy snow, why would anyone be out? She wouldn't have come out if she hadn't run out of food at home.

"That would be wonderful. Would you do us the honor of letting us stay at your place to avoid the snowstorm? Don't worry, we won't stay for free. As soon as the snowstorm subsides, we'll leave immediately. We're not bad people. Is that alright?" Lu Jinyan tried her best to make her smile look sincere.

The woman in front of me looked very delicate, as if I could frighten her if I raised my voice a little. But she was carrying such a big basket on her back in the vast snow all by herself. The scene looked so incongruous!

The woman blinked her large eyes, staring at the beautiful girl in front of her, who was as pretty as a fairy. After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded.

Firstly, the woman in front of her was very beautiful and spoke gently, so she didn't seem like a bad person. Secondly, the snow was getting heavier, and if she ignored them and let them continue on their way, they might be in danger. She couldn't bear to watch them die.

"My home is simple. If you don't mind, please come with me to my house to rest for a while until the snow stops!" The woman's voice was soft and pleasant to listen to.

"No problem, no problem at all, thank you so much, miss! You're so kind! Miss, it's too cold outside, please get in the carriage!" At this moment, Lu Jinyan only had eyes for her savior. She hurriedly and warmly invited her to get in the carriage.

The woman seemed a little overwhelmed by Lu Jinyan's enthusiasm and was somewhat at a loss. By the time she realized what was happening, she was already sitting in the warm carriage.

Seeing that there were several people sitting in the carriage, the woman was clearly a little uneasy. Lu Jinyan seemed to notice her discomfort and quickly poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Young lady, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!"

"Thank you, young lady. My name is Lin Churan. You can just call me by my name!" Lin Churan took the teacup and took a small sip.

"Lin Churan, what a lovely name! I'll call you Churan then. My name is Lu Jinyan. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Lu Jinyan replied with a smile.

"Then shall I call you Jin Yan?" Lin Churan was quite unpretentious and seemed very easy to get along with.

"Okay, oh right. This is my sister, Chu Chu, this is Ruo Han, this is Liu Xu, this is Liu Qing, the driver outside the carriage is Yuan Yi, and the other one is Du Che." Lu Jinyan introduced all the people, and Lin Churan nodded and greeted everyone one by one.

"Chu Ran. It's so windy and snowy outside, why are you out alone?" Lu Jinyan was genuinely curious. Under normal circumstances, people would stay indoors and warm themselves by the fire in such heavy snow.

"We ran out of food at home, so I went to a nearby village to buy some. When I went out, it hadn't snowed yet, but when I came back, it was snowing so heavily!" Lin Churan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled helplessly.

"I see. It's all thanks to Chu Ran, otherwise we would probably have been buried by this heavy snow!" Lu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, at least we wouldn't be buried.

The group chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. Lu Jinyan felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for the time being, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

With Lin Churan's guidance, Yuan Yi quickly spotted a fork in the road not far away. If Lin Churan hadn't pointed it out, they wouldn't have noticed it at all, as it was completely covered by snow.

The carriage turned onto a side road and traveled for about fifteen minutes. Then they saw a house. The house wasn't big, but at least the group had a place to shelter from the wind and snow.

The carriage stopped in front of the house. The group got off the carriage, and Lin Churan led everyone into the courtyard. The house wasn't large, but it was very clean and looked very comfortable.

On the way, Lu Jinyan learned some basic information about Lin Churan. This girl's original form was a white lotus, and after transforming into human form, she traveled extensively, cultivating as she went. Don't let her gentle appearance fool you; her cultivation level is actually fifty-six, even higher than Yuan Yi's.

A few months ago, she traveled here and found the environment quite nice, so she decided to stay. The house belonged to a villager at the foot of the mountain. Because the elderly couple were getting old and had difficulty walking, living on the mountain was inconvenient, so they moved down the mountain. Lin Churan thought the environment was nice, so she paid some demon crystals to rent the house and planned to stay here for a while.

She planned to continue her travels after the New Year. However, the weather had been getting colder these past few days, and she was running low on food at home. She thought she would go down the mountain to exchange for some food before it snowed. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lu Jinyan and her companions on the way.

As Lu Jinyan listened to Lin Churan's narration, she suddenly remembered the female lead she had never met. She seemed to be a white lotus flower as well. She wondered if all white lotus flowers were like that, with a delicate and fragile appearance that made people want to protect them.

But judging from this girl's cultivation level, she's the one who needs protection. This girl could kill her with a single finger. Damn it, her cultivation level is only fifteen so far. When will she ever become a big shot?

Lin Churan led the group into the house, then pointed to a room on the side and said to Lu Jinyan, "Jinyan, my conditions here are limited, there are only three empty rooms. Please make your own arrangements. I will go and boil some hot water for you to wash up!"

"No need to trouble Chu Ran, we'll do it ourselves! It's already very kind of you to give us a place to shelter from the wind and snow, how can we trouble you!" Lu Jinyan quickly pulled Lin Chu Ran away to stop her from doing anything.

"Sister Chu Ran, you should rest. We can handle it!" Chu Chu said to Lin Chu Ran with a smile.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them otherwise, Lin Churan had no choice but to agree and pointed out the location of the kitchen to Liu Xu and the others. Then she led Lu Jinyan and the others to tidy up the house.

These rooms were usually unoccupied, and although they were fairly clean, there were no bedding or blankets, so they had to be remade. Lin Churan was initially worried about not having enough bedding and sheets. But when she saw Lu Jinyan and the others skillfully taking things out of their storage bags, she realized she had worried unnecessarily.

Lu Jinyan divided the rooms: she and Chuchu shared one room, Liuxu and Liuqing shared another, and the remaining room was for the three men. Since there were limited rooms, they would have to make do for the time being.

However, everyone expressed no objection to Lu Jinyan's arrangements.
