The Sword of the Universe landed on the cliff. The Snow Girl looked at Jing Jiu without uttering a word.
It had been a while since she walked out from the snowy mountain, but this was the first time that Jing Jiu had seen her clearly.
After being washed by the Chaotic Fire of the Sun Banner, the ice and snow on the surface of the Snow Girl's body had melted a great deal. Though she was not as round as before, she was still a bit round. Her fingers were chubby and looked as lovely as a glutinous rice cake. Her feet were joined together, so Jing Jiu couldn't see her clearly.
Back when he was trapped in the deep part of the snowland, he had communicated with the great Queen of the Snowy Kingdom a few times. Like most of the humans, he had tried to guess what the highest being in Chaotian looked like; but he didn't expect her to be a little round snowman …
The being that Jing Jiu feared the most in Chaotian was not the Fairy Book of the Zhongzhou School or his Big Brother, but the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom. He was certain that the Queen was the most powerful being in this land, even more powerful than his friend the Giant. Jing Jiu wasn't even her equal in his previous life.
How could he avoid the threat of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom? It was simple: to stay away from her. As such, Jing Jiu didn't come to the north again after his trip to the snowland. He turned around and left when he was three hundred miles away from White Town. As such, he didn't take a look at the Snow Girl from beginning to end, because he didn't want her to discover his existence.
Now that the Snow Girl stood in front of him, it didn't matter anymore. He didn't mind taking a look at her, but it was better not to talk if possible.
Qing 'er poked her head out of the Green Sky Mirror gingerly. She looked at the profile of Jing Jiu and the Snow Girl. She intended to say something, but she closed her mouth tightly in the end.
It was quiet on the cliff, as quiet as a graveyard.
The footsteps suddenly broke out in the wind and snow.
Tong Yan had finally arrived.
He said to Jing Jiu in a mocking tone, "I didn't expect you to stop and wait for me."
Qing 'er found that Tong Yan was left behind by Jing Jiu in front of the snowy mountain by now. She glanced at him sympathetically, thinking that those who played chess had a filthy heart.
The next moment, Tong Yan saw Xue Gie. She held back the words she was about to question Jing Jiu and fell silent.
His temperament was proud and aloof. He was calm even after seeing Jing Jiu leave with the Green Sky Mirror; but his silence at the moment had nothing to do with calmness.
It was obvious that he was shocked speechless.
The reason why his emotions fluctuated so strongly was because he had already vaguely guessed Xue Gie's background.
He was a talented disciple of Zhongzhou School, and his cultivation was profound. At a young age, he was already a swordsman in the middle stage of Yuanying Realm. However, he didn't play any role in the battle in front of the snow mountain. It was not because he was too weak, but because the Sun Banner was too powerful.
If Xue Gie hadn't appeared, they would have been dead by now.
In other words, the Snow Girl was their savior.
However, Jing Jiu didn't even dare to take a look at her. He ran away faster than a stray dog. He even abandoned the Sword of the Universe, a flying sword of the immortal standard that he had refined with great efforts. Why?
With the addition of another person, there was still no sound coming from the snowy cliff. It was still as silent as a tomb.
There was no difference between a joint tomb and a single tomb.
It was then that a voice suddenly broke the silence.
It was unclear when Cold Cicada had woken up. It was very happy to see Jing Jiu, its thin limbs rubbing against each other at a high speed, making buzzing sounds.
Jing Jiu, Tong Yan and Qing 'er all fixed their gazes on Cold Cicada. The expressions in their eyes were complicated, including pity and admiration.
Even the Snow Girl shot a sideways glance at Cold Cicada. If she had the whites of her eyes, it would look like she was rolling her eyes.
By now, Cold Cicada had realized what was going on, feeling extremely terrified. Its body suddenly stiffened, and it dropped to the ground like an empty chestnut shell, making a faint "pah" sound.
What frightened it the most was that for some reason, it couldn't pass out.
Jing Jiu shot it a glance.
Cold Cicada struggled a lot. After hesitating for a long time, it crawled gingerly toward Jing Jiu on the snowy ground.
The Snow Girl fixed her gaze on Cold Cicada.
Cold Cicada became stiff again. It turned its body around slowly, glancing at her and then at Jing Jiu.
Cold Cicada didn't know where it should go in the wind and snow, though it was a vast world.
In the end, it closed its eyes and made up its mind. It lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, but its body was trembling incessantly.
Looking at the Snow Girl in Silence, Jing Jiu suddenly reached out his hand to pick up Cold Cicada, and then put it away.
The temperature in the cliff began to drop rapidly, and heaven and earth were shrouded by the cold intent.
The Snow Girl suddenly uttered a gurgling sound while staring into Jing Jiu's eyes.
The sound was very weak, like the sound of a hungry puppy who wanted to drink milk.
Qing 'er opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word. The expression on her face was quite interesting, as she wondered who could have expected this person's voice to be like this.
Tong Yan noticed that the Snow Girl didn't have a mouth, so the sound should come from her belly.
"Gurgling ~ gurgling ~"
Looking at Jing Jiu, the Snow Girl continued making her own sound earnestly.
No matter what kind of sound it was, it could lighten the tense and depressing atmosphere.
Moreover, it was such a weak and lovely gurgling sound; one wouldn't feel scared even if it came from the grave.
The gurgling sound was very lovely and childish.
The gurgling sound was annoying at most, but it was never scary.
Qing 'er felt a bit relieved, asking, "What is she saying?"
Tong Yan shook her head and looked at Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu stared at the Snow Girl as if he were facing a formidable foe or an abyss, as if he were looking at Nan Wang after drinking wine. "Do you also want to go there?" he asked.
The Snow Girl gurgled again.
"No, you are alive," said Jing Jiu.
The Snow Girl gurgled twice, seeming to be puzzled.
"Its name is Cold Cicada. Yes, it can go there, because its life state is very low, and I thought this little guy was a bit strange back then."
Jing Jiu continued while looking at her, "You are different. I don't have the ability or the qualification to send you there."
Sitting on the Sword of the Universe, the Snow Girl didn't reveal any energy. She looked like a dead object, just like Jing Jiu sometimes.
But anyone could tell by looking at her deep and dark pupils that she was a life, and a very high-level one at that.
The Snow Girl fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.
Qing 'er flew to Jing Jiu's shoulder and sat down, asking curiously, "Can you understand what she is saying?"
Jing Jiu uttered "hmm".
Qing 'er thought that gurgling was just gurgling; how could he understand different meanings? She asked, "Is it a spiritual communication?"
"Guess," said Jing Jiu.
Qing 'er wondered if he wanted her to guess.
Back in the snowland, Jing Jiu and the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom communicated through spiritual awareness. It was convenient, but the pressure that came with the spiritual awareness was also dreadful.
Since the Snow Girl couldn't communicate through spiritual awareness, Jing Jiu could only guess, which was a bit difficult.
It was indeed troublesome to deal with a child.
It was indeed reasonable that his Big Brother didn't choose to spread his seeds all over the world when he recruited many disciples and subordinates.
The Snow Girl suddenly gurgled again.
Jing Jiu said, "I can give you Cold Cicada, the sword, and everything related to that world, including the bamboo chair; but I can't."
The Snow Girl looked at Jing Jiu in Silence.
The temperature in the cliff dropped abruptly, and the wind and snow intensified.
Though she didn't make any gurgling sound, the three of them could sense the danger.
It was like the shrill scream she made when she was enraged by the Sun Banner. Though it was soundless, it could be heard by heaven and earth.
Qing 'er was scared, so she hid in the Green Sky Mirror.
Tong Yan lowered his head, and found that he couldn't predict what the other party would do.
He was good at chess playing, so he had an amazing calculating ability. Unfortunately, he couldn't predict what Jing Jiu would do, so he couldn't do anything about it.
Nobody knew what the Snow Girl would do next, or how she would strike.
When she collided with the Sun Banner, she didn't do anything; but the Chaotic Fire drifted toward her.
They didn't even know if she could raise her two short hands.
Apart from the Broadsword King and Zen Master, nobody had any experience in this field.
If they didn't know what her opponent would do, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat her.
Tong Yan could only calculate this much; he knew that he had no choice but to wait for her to strike first.
It was then that the Snow Girl suddenly closed her eyes.
The wind blew the snowflakes to the bottom of the cliff and then dispersed like the clouds.
Time passed slowly, but she didn't open her eyes.
Qing 'er couldn't restrain her curiosity any longer. She crawled out from the Green Sky Mirror and asked gingerly, "What's wrong?"
Tong Yan looked at the Snow Girl, remaining silent.
After a long time, Jing Jiu uttered "hmm" softly.
Tong Yan felt relieved, and said to Qing 'er, "She is asleep."

(In fact, it's quite fun to be called Bai Yingying. Thinking of Sensei De, Zhan Doudou, Si Lili, and Zou Leilei, I only know this name. Yingying. I'll update less in the near future, and I'll probably stop updating at any time. It's because I've caught a cold; I have to go to the south for a meeting; I have to pick up my dear niece and bring her to the Daqing Festival; I'll take her to see the world of ice and snow in Bing City and go skiing in Yabuli; and I've written on the official WeChat account a few days ago that I'll take her to the hot spring on a moonless night after the snowfall and take her to watch the stars by the lake; and then I'll wait for the cold to get worse. My parents-in-law are back, and I have to prepare for the Spring Festival. I've spent the Spring Festival in Hubei in the last two or three years, so I have to prepare for it here this year. I feel so tired just thinking about it. Yingying, yingying, you guys hit me.)
