Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite the Bait Please - Chapter 289.4

Chapter 289.4: Early Summer Snow
“What you said sounds reasonable.” Zhuge Xiong said with her brows furrowed up, and the crease slowly relaxed as he continued to think about that.

On the other side, a group of people were leaning against a large rock to rest.

“Young Lord, you went to see that person already?”

A woman’s raspy voice sounded that pulled back Qing Ye Li’s faraway thoughts. He then turned his eyes to look at the woman standing behind him.

She had a tall and slender figure, her long hair covering half of her face. The exposed half of her face was sharp and beautiful, alluring and captivating, her incomparably jet black eyes seeming to glow under the night.

Qing Ye Li glanced at her and then turned his eyes away, before he said in an indifferent voice: “I did.”

The Young Lord looks rather troubled. Are you thinking of that person?” The woman continued to ask in her raspy voice.

“So what if I am?” Qing Ye Li’s eyes gazed far into the distance, and it was not known whether he was speaking to her or just mumbling to himself. “For me to be able to watch her like this now, it is enough for me.”

“Everytime that person is mentioned, my Young Lord would always act so self inferior. It really makes me curious just what kind of a person she is, that could make my Young Lord react like this…..”

“Of course you would not understand.” Qing Ye Li interrupted the woman in an emotionless voice. “You do not even know warmth itself as you people from the snake tribe are born cold blooded. Compared to you, am I not a lot more fortunate?”

The woman was taken aback for a moment before a corner of her lips stiffened. Her tone of voice sounded a little strange as she said: “That’s right. I will never be able to understand how that feels.”

Seeing that Qing Ye Li was unwilling to say anything more about it, the woman was not about to continue asking to be snubbed, and so she went walking away to one side in silence.

Time trickled by and it seemed that late night came in the blink of an eye.

Qing Ye Li did not feel the slightest bit sleepy as he gazed at the several flickering stars in the sky when he suddenly thought of a time back in the past when he and Qing Yu took a trip out for rigorous training, where they lost their footing and fell into a very deep hole.

From inside that tiny gap, they could only see several dimly lit stars in the sky, the scene very much similar to now.

But everything has become different now, and Qing Yu was no longer there by his side.

The more he came to understand the gaping chasm and the many other obstacles between them, Qing Ye Li became more prone to reminiscing about the past. He remembered that it was a very very cold and snowy day when they met for the first time.

He suddenly felt something cold running down his cheek, one light fluttering speck, then two….. Qing Ye Li raised a hand up to wipe at his face, and discovered a pristine white frost on his fingers.

He was taken aback by surprise for an instant as he watched it slowly melt on his fingertips, not moving for a good while.

It was snowing.

Just as the season was going into early summer, the sky that just sent winter away a few months ago was suddenly snowing.
