Chapter 290.1: Just Before Parting
The expression on Qing Ye Li’s face was stunned as he stared at his own hand for a long while, looking like he thought that he was seeing things. Soon, he raised his eyes to gaze up into the sky and saw many white fluffy specks fluttering down lazily.
“What the h.e.l.l? What kind of a G.o.dd.a.m.ned weather is this! ? How could it possibly be snowing! ?”
Someone could not help but curse out loudly, though that still could not fully reflect the astonishment that everyone was feeling.
Upon hearing those words, some people who were still in their tents felt puzzled and they all came out one after another. When they saw the strange scene, they were so stunned they were at a loss for words.
Such a strange phenomenon had never been seen in Cloud Heaven before, the four seasons occurring very normally every year. Seeing snow fall at the beginning of summer was the first time it has happened.
And the devil’s hand is always at play when things take such a strange turn.
Could it be…..
The snowfall was light when it started, but as time slowly trickled by, the snow at everyone’s feet began to pile up till it reached around their ankles. Looking at the way the snow was coming down, it did not seem like it was going to stop anytime soon, but would instead become more and more intense.
“Are they….. trying to….. freeze us all to death here in this place?” Someone struggled to mutter, through chattering teeth.
“It is snowing only here in this place.” A young lady’s puerile voice piped out.
Someone turned to look towards that voice and saw a young girl who looked to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, a pet.i.te and pretty little thing with an adorable looking face. But the look on her face was contrastingly mature and calm looking, not matching to one of her young age.
She stood on one leg high upon a large boulder, her eyes peering far into the distance as she pointed with one finger and said: “It’s not snowing over there.”
But everyone else’s line of sight was a lot more limited and it was also late at night at that moment, pitch dark everywhere. The furthest they could see would only be just a few hundred meters at most and from what they could see, the place that the young lady was pointing at looked like it was also snowing, no different from where they were at.
“Look carefully Little Yan, is it really only snowing here?” The woman with half of her face covered by her hair looked at her and said.
Hearing that, the young girl turned to look expressionlessly at the woman, the tone of her voice tinged with a hint of displeasure as she replied: “My eyes have never been mistaken with what they see before.”
Under the night’s darkness, the young girl’s large eyes actually looked like they were glowing faintly red, that carried a hint of bloodthirsty ruthlessness.
The young girl who was such a pretty and adorable little thing in the day seemed to change in personality at night, looking like a completely different person. It was feared that no one could have thought that such a harmless and adorable little girl would be someone who actually possesses dual personalities hidden in her bones.
