Chapter 290.1: Just Before Parting

“What the hell? What kind of a goddamned 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 petite 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.
