Tempering a Sword

Shen Lian did not move on with riding in the clouds, instead, he brought both mother and daughter up the mountain by foot. The wilderness in the mountain was filled with snow and the northern wind howled. Under normal circumstances, it should be freezing for the mother-daughter duo. However, being close to Shen Lian, they felt as warm as spring.

The uneasiness within her heart subsided following the warmth. Shen Lian suddenly asked, "Is there a name to this mountain?"

"Yes, it is called Chong Hou. The king of the mountain here is Chong Hou Tiger. He was conferred with that title by the son of the White Emperor, Yunyang, and made this mountain his feoffment." Ah Lian became a little braver as she answered Shen Lian.

Shen Lian pointed towards Xiao Hei and said, "Chong is a good surname. How about I call you Chong Heihu from now on?"
