Snow fell from the sky like a beautiful screen that covered the land. It connected the sky and earth and fused with the passage of time, making it difficult for anyone to forget. The snowflakes flew in the air and floated down before Su Ming. Once they landed on the ground, they were blown up by the moaning wind and danced with the falling snow.
There were also some snowflakes that floated before Bai Ling in the wind. They fell through the two bone earrings on her ears and fell on her neck, which was hidden under her thick clothes, before melting.
As he listened to Bai Ling's soft whispers, warmth appeared in Su Ming's heart. That warmth spread through his entire body and turned into a unique feeling. That feeling had a beautiful name. It was called happiness.
A beautiful night, beautiful snow, and beautiful people.
Su Ming smiled. That happy smile was filled with the innocence of a teenager. He stopped and looked at Bai Ling. At that moment, the girl in the snow seemed to have turned into a picture that would last for eternity and was deeply engraved in Su Ming's memories.
White snow, white clothes, a girl as beautiful as snow, and those whispers.
Bai Ling was very beautiful. As her eyelashes fluttered, there were some ice crystals on them. As Su Ming looked at her, he felt as if everything around him had disappeared. There was only him and her left in the world.
After a long while, when Bai Ling's face turned even redder under Su Ming's gaze, Su Ming lifted his right hand and took off the bone tooth necklace hanging on his neck. He chose the largest beast tooth that was about the length of a pinky and took it off before handing it to Bai Ling.
That bone fang was entirely white and shaped like a crescent moon. There were two words carved on it — Su Ming's name. There seemed to be a fierce presence within the bone fang.
"The elder gave this tooth to me when I was seven and attended my first Berserker's Awakening. It's something I really like. I'm … giving it to you." A smile appeared on Su Ming's face, but he was also feeling slightly nervous. There was a special meaning behind giving something like this in the tribe.
Bai Ling pursed her lips and her face turned even redder. Her heart also started racing. The sound of her heart pounding against her chest made everything before her disappear. There was only Su Ming left.
After a long while, Bai Ling gently raised her jade-like hand and received the bone tooth. The instant her hand came into contact with the bone tooth, her fingers trembled as she gently caught it.
Su Ming was nervous. After waiting for a while, he saw that Bai Ling was only looking at Gu Ya and did not do anything else. He could not help but scratch his head and let some of the snow fall from his hair.
Bai Ling cast a glance at Su Ming. When she saw his silly look, she could not help but cover her mouth and giggle. A cunning look appeared in her eyes, along with an indescribable gentleness that could melt a person's heart.
"Um … Ahem, aren't you forgetting something?" Su Ming blushed when Bai Ling smiled at him.
"What?" Bai Ling was still smiling. That smile was very beautiful. In the wind and snow, it was set off by the snowflakes. It was unforgettable.
Su Ming's face turned even redder, but he soon gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Ling. He took a deep breath and said sternly, "Bai Ling, I'm your savior … I …"
"I know. You're my savior. But what does this have to do with me forgetting something?" Bai Ling blinked.
"Of course it's related. Er … Let's not talk about this. Hmm? The bone earring on your ear is very pretty. Take one off and let me see it." Su Ming thought about it and immediately said.
The smile in Bai Ling's eyes became even brighter. Along with it was the cunning look in her eyes. She lifted her hand and touched the white bone earring on her left ear. She looked at Su Ming.
"My mother left this for me … I'm not giving it to you." Bai Ling giggled. When she saw Su Ming widening his eyes as if he wanted to snatch it from her, she immediately ran away. Her laughter traveled far in the wind. It was as pleasant as the sound of a silver bell.
However, even though she said that, she still held the bone tooth Su Ming gave her in her palm, as if it was very precious.
Su Ming glared at her. As if he was unwilling to give up, he quickly chased after her. The two of them laughed happily in the snowy night. Bai Ling still did not give the bone earring to Su Ming, but even though Su Ming did not understand the gentleness in her eyes, he could still feel that something was off.
"Su Ming, what do you think we'll be like ten years later..? Will we still be as carefree as before..?" Bai Ling, who was exhausted, sat down on the snowy ground. She looked at the snow in the sky and asked softly.
Su Ming placed his hands behind his head and lay down beside Bai Ling. The snowy ground was very soft. He, too, looked at the snow in the sky and listened to Bai Ling's words.
"Are you still angry?" Bai Ling turned her head. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Ming with a smile.
"Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." Su Ming let out a harrumph, but when he saw that Bai Ling was still looking at him, a smile appeared on his face.
"Ten years later, we'll still be as carefree as before … And by then, my power will be very high. It'll definitely be very high!" Su Ming's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"The elder told me yesterday that I'll be the same as Ye Wang in Wind Stream Tribe in the future. I'll be trained by the Elder of Wind Stream … Perhaps in ten years, I'll be close to Transcendence." Su Ming smiled.
When she heard Su Ming's words, anticipation also appeared in Bai Ling's eyes. There was a happy smile on her face. It was as if she had an endless amount of things to say to Su Ming in the snowy night.
Happy times always passed by quickly. Even if there was still some time before dawn, it would still end eventually. Bai Ling also had to return to her lodgings in the tribe. The two of them returned to the outskirts of the mudstone city.
"Let me send you home." Su Ming crouched down and gestured for Bai Ling to come up.
There was a happy smile on Bai Ling's face. She obediently laid on Su Ming's back once again and felt his heartbeat. The feeling of it beating made her blush.
"You're so silly …" Bai Ling mumbled softly on Su Ming's back as Su Ming ran.
As they ran, Su Ming carried Bai Ling on his back and leapt into the mudstone city from a secluded corner in the snowy night. His face also changed to Mo Su's. When they arrived at Dark Dragon Tribe's lodgings, Su Ming stopped. Bai Ling came down from Su Ming's back with a hint of reluctance.
She looked at Su Ming, at the boy before her. His face might have turned into a stranger, but she would never mistake his eyes for someone else.
Su Ming also looked at Bai Ling. The two of them stared at each other in the snow on the street.
"Alright, don't be angry." Bai Ling lifted her hand. Just like the last time they parted, she straightened Su Ming's clothes and flicked away some of the snow on his clothes. There was a gentle smile on her face.
"The bone earrings on your ears are really pretty." Su Ming chuckled.
When she saw Su Ming behaving this way, Bai Ling smiled once again. As she smiled, she looked at Su Ming deeply. The bashfulness on her face grew stronger once again, and she lowered her head gently.
"Su Ming … Seven days later is a very important day for me … In the past, I was with my grandmother on that day … This year, I hope that I can be with you … Okay?" Bai Ling seemed to have gathered her courage. Her voice was weak, but Su Ming heard everything she said. Surprise appeared in his eyes. He looked at Bai Ling and nodded his head.
"This is a promise …" Bai Ling smiled shyly and looked into Su Ming's eyes.
"Yes, this is a promise. Seven days later, no matter where I am, no matter what I'm doing, I will definitely come and find you …" Su Ming said seriously.
Snow was still falling from the sky, as if it was a witness to the promise between the two people on the ground … Su Ming did not know whether this was a beautiful moment, or … a sigh.
"Yes, on that day, I'll wait for you in the tribe … I'll give this bone earring to you at that time …" Bai Ling touched the bone earring on her ears and spoke softly. Even her ears had turned red.
"I'll definitely come!" Su Ming smiled. He was very, very happy …
Bai Ling bit her lip. The bashfulness on her face did not disappear. She turned around and walked towards her tribe's lodgings. When she pushed open the door to the courtyard and walked in, she turned her head back and cast a glance at Su Ming before disappearing through the door.
Su Ming stood there, his heart filled with joy. He also looked forward to the promise he made seven days later.
"Seven days …" Su Ming smiled happily. He turned around and ran in the snow towards his tribe.
The snow falling from the sky seemed to know of Su Ming's joy. It accompanied him and spun around, flying up with the wind and blending into the air.
Su Ming ran quickly. The joy in his heart turned into warmth that enveloped his entire body, making him forget his troubles and worries. Very soon, he returned to Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings.
When he returned, Su Ming had already dispelled Mo Su's appearance and returned to his original self. He looked at Dark Mountain Tribe's temporary lodgings in the snow not too far away. Su Ming took a deep breath and walked towards the lodgings with joy in his heart.
It was quiet in the lodgings. It may have been night, but due to the snow in the sky, the night shone with a silver light. It was not dark. The door to Dark Mountain Tribe's lodgings was shut tight in the snow. It was as if there was an oppressive aura surrounding the place, causing Su Ming to notice it the moment he got closer.
This was especially so when he pushed open the door and saw the scene in the courtyard. His entire body trembled, and the joy that had existed in his heart disappeared in an instant. What replaced it was a great change of expression and panic!
The Head of the Guards, Shan Hen, Bei Ling, Lei Chen, and Wu La were all in the courtyard. Most of their faces were filled with panic, fear, and anxiety. Before them was the elder. He sat cross-legged with a pale face. As he panted, there was a pool of black blood on the white snow before him.
The moment Su Ming pushed open the door, all the gazes were on him.
"Elder!" There was a bang in Su Ming's head. His mind was blank. He ran like a madman and arrived before the elder. He looked at the elder's old face. For the first time, there was a hint of weakness on the elder's old face. There was even some blood on the elder's sackcloth. Su Ming trembled.
