The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Little Black in Pursuit

Ning Shiqi finished saying all that, then paused for a long time before adding, ”Uncle Ying, I’ve already lived for far too long.”

So long that He had truly gone numb, could no longer find any meaning in being alive, so He really ought to leave, to go and do something meaningful, something He was actually able to do.

Instead of continuing to hide here, continuing to ponder the meaning of His own existence.

That sentence of His left Uncle Ying completely stunned, and he had no strength to refute it.

Indeed, to have lived too long, so long that life itself had become a kind of numbness and weariness—so what danger was there left to care about?

”Get up.” Ning Shiqi saw Uncle Ying still kneeling and spoke.

Uncle Ying rose to his feet, wanting to say something more, but in the end he still couldn’t open his mouth.

So be it. It was rare that Young Master finally had something He wanted to do; this, perhaps, was not a bad thing at all.

At this moment Han Jing had not considered what kind of change her single sentence had brought to Ning Shiqi, whereas Ning Shiqi had already made all His decisions.

There are many things for which, perhaps from the very moment of encounter, everything is already predestined in the unseen.

Little Black quietly slipped out of the Barrier and went to the cliff outside.

Outside, it was still afternoon; the snow on the Snow Peak, under the slanting western sunlight, gave off a faint orange glow, somewhat slightly dazzling.

Little Black stood in the snowdrift, narrowed its eyes, and yawned.

It seemed like it hadn’t come out for a very long time.

This excessive brightness suddenly felt fresh and exciting to it, with a hint of comfort. Why had it never felt this way before? It wasn’t as if this was its first time sneaking out.

Little Black stretched lazily and sniffed the air, judging which direction Lianwu and Xiao Xue had gone in. However, with that sniff, it was startled—how could it be so unlucky that that crazy woman just happened to have come back?

Little Black immediately headed in the direction Lianwu and Xiao Xue had gone. It still couldn’t be sure whether that crazy woman would return to the valley bottom or wander around the Snow Mountain. If she went back to the valley bottom, with Ning Shiqi there, that crazy woman wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble, but outside it was different. Once she went mad, no one could stop her!

That little brat might be a bit dumb, but looks-wise... still pretty cute. If it just died like that, it would be quite a pity. It might as well kindly go and give them a warning!

At this moment, Little Black had completely forgotten that, at the start, it had come out intending to watch the fun.

Little Black was extremely fast, and Bai Xueruo had originally truly planned to return to the valley bottom. Bored these past few days, she suddenly remembered that rather strong-willed Silver Wolf—she’d beaten it several times and it still wouldn’t behave. That meddlesome Ning Shiqi had even healed its injuries and fed it. Heh, she wanted to see just how long that Silver Wolf’s bones could stay hard!

But just as she was about to head toward the valley bottom, she caught the scent of Little Black flashing past in another direction.

Was that little wildcat going out to hunt? Slipping away that fast—had it perhaps found some prey?

Bai Xueruo, who had originally been planning to go to the valley bottom, temporarily changed direction and went after Little Black.

When Little Black realized someone was chasing it, it suddenly stopped, and saw Bai Xueruo’s face—which wasn’t gentle in the least.

Bai Xueruo was very beautiful, a sharp, cutting sort of beauty, carrying a natural dominance and a bearing of ”the world follows my temper,” but not the least bit likable.
