C1430 Son of a Thousand Sitting in the Main Hall

Snow mountains, snow mountains, why snow mountains? As the name implied, other than snow, there were mountains. Snow was white, while mountains were black.

Although it was spring now, for the northwest border, it was still far from the time for the winter to leave. In the endless snowy peaks, there was no longer any sign of life, only the purest and most primitive desolation.

No matter who stood in the middle of these snowy peaks, they would appear incomparably small. In the entire world, only black and white were left in these two most monotonous and chilling colors.

In the northwest of China, there were very few people. There was an endless expanse of snow everywhere, and there were strong winds blowing everywhere. At this moment, there were nine women in black or black robes patrolling around the majestic mountains. It was as though the beautiful scenery of this towering snow-capped mountain was but a passing cloud in their eyes.

Although the girls were extremely thin, it was as if they could not feel the biting cold wind of the mountain. They just looked around the snow-capped mountain without making a single sound, not even sparing a single inch of the low-lying snow. From their movements, it could be seen that they were even more serious than the members of the Imperial Examinations, who were known to be strict.

The snow-capped mountain would not melt even after a thousand years. Moreover, as the mountain changed, countless cracks and snow would form and hide in the deep snow. No one knew if the next step on the ground would be heaven or hell.

However, the girls seemed to be unaware of this danger and were still extremely meticulous. It was as if they had long ignored life and death and did not want to think about how dangerous their current situation was.

Ever since Lin Bai had suddenly disappeared a year ago, their lives had always been monotonous like this. From the bustling city to the remote mountain village, from the Northern Wasteland, to the boundless prairie, then to the snowy, snowy, remote northwest … As long as they passed through any place, they would be able to reach any place!

Other than He Jia Er and Xia Xiaoqing who were diligently searching for Lin Bai with all their might, who else in this world could possibly be infatuated enough to wade through thousands of mountains and rivers in order to find a lover?!

There was a swamp in the wasteland, a pack of wolves on the prairie, a crevice in the snow mountain, and a poisonous snake in the desert …

For most people, this was a fatal danger, but for the girls, it was like a common occurrence. In fact, this was how they spent every day of the past year and the last three hundred and sixty-five days. If this matter were to be spread out, no one would have thought that the Nine Daughters, who used to be like the golden tree and was revered by the masses, would actually do such a dangerous thing.

One had to know the identities of the few girls in the past. Xia Xiaoqing was the owner of the most mysterious club in Yan Jing city; it was needless to say that He Jia Er's family background was comparable to that of the princesses of the past; Shen Xiao Yi was also the apple of her eyes; Ning Xiaoxiao was a beautiful woman without any blush in the spring; Liao was also a beauty that was worshipped like a fairy by countless of people; and Xiao Wei, Yushan, and Li Qiushui were even more so.

"Still not found …" The mountain breeze whistled past, causing Ning Huaiyan to shudder. She looked towards the distant towering peak of the snow mountain, and a trace of sorrow and numbness appeared on her face. She slowly said, "Is it really that far away?"

In the past year, although they had traveled through many places, trekked through thousands of mountains and rivers, and gone through countless hardships, the results were all the same. Even though they had gone to the Yellow Springs of Heaven, they still could not find any trace of Lin Bai.

This cycle of searching had even caused Ning Huaiyan's heart to go numb. If it wasn't for the trace of love in her heart still implicating her, she probably would have taken the rest of her life. However, every time she tried to investigate a place with endless hopes but still came up empty-handed, she would inevitably feel many inexplicable sorrow. Although she felt that she was already used to this kind of pain, every time she felt it, it was still so heart-wrenching.

"How can we call this not finding anything? No matter what, we have found another place. We knew that he wasn't here so we narrowed down the scope of our search. As long as we continue, we will be able to find him." Seeing that the other girls looked a little sad after hearing Ning Xiaoxiao's words, Xia Xiaoqing, who had the demeanor of a strong woman, smiled gently and tried to comfort them.

Although her words were filled with comfort, a trace of sorrow was hidden deep within Xia Xiaoqing's eyes.

The few girls were silent when they heard this. The snowy mountain peak was completely silent. Only the mountain wind was left whimpering and circling around, appearing just like a sorrowful cry.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to that kid. I just don't know where he will be hiding." Seeing this, the little black cat mewled a few times, then suddenly jumped onto He Jia Er's shoulder, rubbing its claws, looking at the girls and saying, "It's getting late, there's a blizzard in the mountain, let's hurry up, find a place to set up camp, and continue tomorrow."

He Jia Er did not say anything, but slowly turned his head to look at the distant sky. Although there was still a trace of dawn in the sky, a faint layer of white fog had already formed between the mountains. After staying in the mountains for so many days, she clearly understood what this white fog meant.

"Then we'll just listen to Blacky. Let's find a place with no wind and set up the tent. We can clean up as soon as possible. Even if the blizzard comes, nothing will happen." After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on He Jia Er's face. He glanced at the girls and consoled them, "Sister Qing is right, there isn't any here. He is always somewhere else. We can always find him."

After He Jia Ruidao made his arrangements, the girls did not say anything else. They followed the little black cat and found a place to hide from the wind and snow. Then, they started to set up their tents as if they were familiar with the place. During the past year, apart from allowing them to cultivate an unprecedented level of tacit understanding, their delicate fingers, which were like spring onions, had also become a lot rougher and more agile.

Even things as unbelievable as setting up a tent were familiar to them now. Even if they closed their eyes, they could build a tent that was on par with the climbers.

After all the girls had gone to sleep, the little black cat circled around the tent once before slowly walking out. Although the temperature of the snowy night had reached -10 degrees Celsius, for the little black cat, who was born into a yin form and was naturally close to the land of cold and darkness, this was not only not torture but also a great pleasure.

"Little bastard, where did you go? If you don't show your face, Grandpa Cat won't be able to take care of you girls. Even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to compensate you with a living person." Looking at the tent behind him, the little black cat let out a sigh. Looking at the white snow cast by the dark clouds above her head, she sighed.

Although the little black cat didn't know much about medicine, it was obvious that the girls were exhausted. In the past year, after they walked past one place, they would immediately rush over to another place without stopping. In fact, to normal people, even that extremely normal sleep was an extravagant request.

If it weren't for the fact that the little black cat had brought the remaining Tai Yinzi along to replenish the depleted vitality of the girls, they would have long since fallen ill on the road, and might even have been in danger of losing their lives.

However, heart disease ultimately required the heart of medicine, and the effect of the Grand Emperor's energy replenishment was indeed miraculous, but in the end, it was only an external force. The reason why the girls were still able to persevere was because they were still holding onto a strand of hope and had not yet relaxed.

If they waited a few more times for this to happen, it would be futile. Even if their minds were strong enough, they would still be disappointed. At that time, the illness that had been plaguing their bodies for the past few days would start acting up.

At that time, even if they possessed such a rare item like the Taisui technique, they would still not be able to pull them back from the gates of hell. Furthermore, from the little black cat's point of view, if it had reached that stage, even if it had the effect of reviving the dead, it was impossible for them to consume it.

The reason for this was not because of anything else but because they had already decided to have a martyred heart. There was still hope for them, and once they used up all their hopes, their emotions would be exposed without exception.

In reality, not to mention the few girls, even the little black cat felt that her current life had reached its limit in the dark.

After searching through the deserted places all day, its favorite meal of the past was naturally unable to be discussed. However, if its appetite was not satisfied, then that was fine. However, the most important thing was its endless loneliness.

The girls were hiding their worries, not going to tease it like they usually did. Even if it was trying to show off some tricks or tell some funny stories, they were still in the mood to laugh dryly for the rest of the day.

"Lonely as an avalanche!" Looking at the boundless snow-covered mountain peak, the little black cat let out a soft sigh. Then, it slowly lifted its paw to catch a snowflake. With a perplexed tone, it said, "Lin Bai can't find it. Where did you run off to, medicine doll?"

Ever since the conclusion of the battle at Mount Zhong that day, all of them had rushed to Mount Zhong in an attempt to find the traces left behind by Lin Bai. However, it wasn't just Lin Bai. Even Yao Guangxiao, as well as the medicine doll with the Soul-Splitting Finger was nowhere to be found.

It was as if they had been vaporized and evaporated into the air, making it impossible for them to find any trace of them.

Furthermore, the little black cat never expected that after getting along with him for so long, without the medicine doll as its companion, its life would become so unbearable. Every day was as empty as the boundless white snow.

"Come back, come back early, stop hiding!" Looking at the towering mountain, the little black cat suddenly wanted to let out a roar. It wanted to roar out all the depression that had accumulated in its chest and abdomen during this period of time.
