Complex emotions

The mountain range to the southwest of the Qing Consortium was an uninhabited region similar to Xiuzhuzhou to the south of the Zhou Consortium. Due to the harsh environment, very few people would venture here.

Everyone was deterred by the poisonous insects and noxious night air here.

In the past, the Yang Consortium had wanted to expand its territory westwards. However, they realized that the cost of development was too great, so they might as well consolidate their existing authority first.

This mountain range had a forest so dense it was like a rainforest.

Initially, Ren Xiaosu was worried Midnight would have difficulty crawling in this forested wilderness. After all, it was so large and the forest was really dense.

But to his surprise, Midnight was smart enough to wade directly through the stream.
