Wilderness
He Ao's body lay prone on the vast snowfield, his snow-white tiger skin cloak covering him, camouflaging his body in the white snow.
Beside him, Sui was completely buried in the snow, only a small face with slight cracks visible, "Big guy, I feel like we asked for so much, that uncle seemed a bit unhappy."
"He wasn't unhappy; he actually welcomes our demands and the more, the better," He Ao replied casually. "He's just reminding us that what he's doing takes 'effort.'"
"What does that mean?" Sui asked, puzzled, "What's the use of him telling us this?"
"It's kind of like a favor," He Ao smiled casually, "When you do something for others, you need to show a certain degree of difficulty. That way, others will feel you've truly put effort into it and paid a price, making them more likely to recognize the favor they owe you.
If you accomplish it too easily, others will think it was no trouble, and feel less indebted to you."
