1091 Kept Heading North (2/2)

In the morning of the fourth day, when the sun started to rise, an extremely charming wild horse came toward them in the morning glory. Its long mane danced violently in the wind and its strong body was soaking in sweat, which added to the charm.

”This is way more handsome than you, buddy.” Ning Que looked at the wild horse and said to the big black horse. To his surprise the big black horse just sneered instead of showing its distinctive disagreement by acting coquettish and cute.

The wild horse rushed to Ning Que and stopped in front of him to deliver a letter.

Ning Que knew it was one of the eight charming wild horses that led the black donkey's carriage. He stroked on it to show appreciation and started reading the message Gaga collected for him via countless creatures throughout the grassland.

The big black horse went shyly to the wild horse and tried gently ti stroke on its neck to show affection. But the other raised its head high in pride and arrogance, thought it did not step away.

Ning Que then realized that it was a very charming wild mare.

He had no idea how Gaga had made some human being read its thoughts and wrote this letter. It was simple but very clearly stated.

”In the chilling north, the most cunning snow foxes and most vigilant snow cocks were disappearing. The wild horses and arctic wolves had never met the hunting beast. But there has to be one out there.” After reading the letter Ning Que looked toward the north. It pointed to the same direction as the stone statue did, to the north.

The Headmaster used to say that it would lead to the same north no matter where one started.

No one found her. But they found the trace of a beast. That beast could probably be a huge indigo dog, or more precisely, an indigo lion.

Ning Que still looked calm, but his hand got slightly stiff while holding the letter.

He leaped onto the horse, pushed on its belly and headed to the north.

The handsome mare stood by the valley to see them off.

The big black horse lowered its head and seemed upset.

Ning Que said, ”I know you want company. But I need to find mine first.”

...

...

He headed to the north while the chilling wind intensified.

Ning Que restrained his Qi and kept silent. He never went into the Wild People nor left any trace on the snow fields. Because he did not want anyone to follow him and consequently find her.

He walked through the mountains abandoned by Haotian. He was actually the one abandoned by Haotian. Or in other words, he lost Haotian in the human world. Now it was his turn to get her back.

...

...

It was the Thermal Sea. There was no heat but only thick snow and freezing coldness.

Ning Que led the big black horse and walked through the cottages abandoned by the Wild People. He recalled the days when the Headmaster took the two of them here and held their wedding witnessed by the Heaven and Earth. Then he felt some warmth in the heart.

The stone statue in his clothes also turned warm. It was telling him that he came to the right place and she was right there.

But where the hell was she now?

He came by the window of a cottage, looked at the dark snow sea and the incredibly high peak.

There was a lamp by the window. Sangsang stared at him quietly. Her moon-like cheeks were lit up by the dim light.

She could see him. But he could not see her. They belonged to two different worlds.

Ning Que stood by the window for a long while and did not leave until his eyebrows turned snowy white.

When they came to the edge of the snowy woods he suddenly stopped.

He stared at something by the tree and his hand that held the rein started trembling.
