Chapter 150: I Don't Want to See Him

Can anyone actually live on this mountain? Are they supposed to live inside caves?
She was on the verge of a breakdown. How could she, a modern woman, have fallen to such a state?
"Don't worry, it's different up there. You'll freeze and starve to death if you stay down here."
He held her hand and led her down the mountain. The people following behind gradually came into view—about twenty-odd people in total. Some she recognized, but others she had never seen before. Perhaps they were people from the peak of Kunlun.
Xuanyuan Juesi was right; staying down here meant certain starvation. Aside from some grass, there was nothing but ice. But would things be any better up the mountain? She couldn't imagine it would be much better anywhere.
She really didn't want to suffer. How wretched her life had turned out. Back in the modern world, she, Si Nuosang, would definitely be curled up under an air conditioner right now. Of course, she wasn't the excessively delicate type either.
Following Xuanyuan Juesi upward, she gripped his hand tightly. It would be best if he froze to death—at least one less person to worry about.
The mountain was towering, at least thousands of meters high. The higher they climbed, the colder it got, and to make matters worse, she happened to be on her period. She felt completely shattered, yet she refused to let Xuanyuan Juesi look down on her, stubbornly pushing through by sheer willpower.
Xuanyuan Juesi noticed her discomfort.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
"Go to hell! Do I need you to carry me?"
Actually, being carried wouldn't have been bad, but her pride wouldn't allow it. Besides, she didn't want to show weakness in front of a group of people; that simply wasn't her style.
After walking upward for over three hours, they finally reached the summit. Yet, upon arriving at the top, she discovered it was truly different.
Because on the other side of the ice mountain lay a basin. The basin was completely free of ice and dotted with numerous houses. There were also buildings right here on the summit, looking quite magnificent. They must have been the dwellings of the rulers of the peak of Kunlun.
During this time, she watched as people from the basin delivered various dishes up the mountain.
This place looked like a miniature dynasty. As soon as Xuanyuan Juesi arrived, dozens of beauties dressed in white furs stepped out to welcome him.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
It seemed Xuanyuan Juesi held a very high status here—that was her first impression.
"Is Cang here?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Master is waiting for you in the main hall."
"Then lead the way at once."
Xuanyuan Juesi's voice sounded quite happy. He had been looking forward to returning here.
The temperature on the mountain didn't seem as terrifying as she had imagined; perhaps she was simply getting used to it. Si Nuosang was already beginning to adapt.
She would never have thought she could grow accustomed to this—even death had seemed preferable—yet the speed of her adaptation was astonishingly fast.
They arrived in front of a very luxurious residence. Although the building was lightly frosted with ice, one could tell just how magnificent it truly was.
How on earth had such a structure been built upon this great icy mountain? It made one extremely curious.
Upon entering the main hall, she caught sight of a man with hair reaching down to his waist, cascading loosely around him.
Moreover, his hair had a faint silvery-white tint to it. Strange... why did she feel such a strong sense of familiarity? This hair color?
When the man whom Xuanyuan Juesi called Cang turned around, Si Nuosang was so startled she tumbled to the ground.
"Wen Su'an?"
Staring at the man, who looked identical to Wen Su'an, Si Nuosang widened her eyes in terror.
"Si Nuosang, what is wrong with you?"
Noticing the look in Si Nuosang's eyes, Xuanyuan Juesi realized that Cang had frightened her.
"Miss, do we know each other?" Cang walked over to Si Nuosang and extended a hand toward her.
Si Nuosang slapped his hand away and snapped fiercely, "Get away!"
Then she quickly scrambled up from the floor, glaring at him as if he were her mortal enemy.
"Nuosang, do you know Cang?"
"Cang? Hahaha, Cang?"
Si Nuosang was on the verge of laughter. That exact same face, that exact same hair color—if he wasn't Wen Su'an, she would spell her name backward.
Cang gave Xuanyuan Juesi a helpless look, indicating that he truly did not know Si Nuosang. Si Nuosang, however, felt the exact opposite, radiating absolute hatred.
"Miss, have we met before?"
"Stop playing dumb with me. It doesn't suit you at all."
Si Nuosang drew the gun from her pocket and aimed it right at him. She had kept this handgun with her all along, never intending to actually use it.
"Miss, what is that?"
"Wen Su'an, since I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time. Stop playing games with me like this. How did you get here?"
"I've always been here!"
"Nonsense."
Si Nuosang fired a shot directly at the floor in front of his feet. The deafening blast terrified everyone present. The laser's piercing power blew a massive hole through the floorboards.
"Si Nuosang, stop acting crazy. Cang is not this Wen Su'an you speak of; he is my friend."
He had never imagined that Si Nuosang possessed such a lethally powerful weapon. It seemed he knew absolutely nothing about her at all.
"Miss Si, I truly do not know you. Can we calm down and talk properly?"
"How did you get here?"
"I have always been here! Xuanyuan Juesi can vouch for me. I've lived here for over a decade. Although I've left a few times, most of the time I've been right here. We have truly never met, I am certain of it."
Cang explained calmly to her, but Si Nuosang refused to listen to a word of it.
"Don't lie to me, you can't fool me. Your face might be identical just by coincidence, but your hair color is identical too. I don't know why you are here, but as long as you are here, I cannot possibly be here."
Si Nuosang withdrew her gun and turned to leave.
"Si Nuosang, where are you going?"
Xuanyuan Juesi chased after her, staring at her intently.
"Anywhere is fine, as long as I leave this place."
"You cannot leave."
Xuanyuan Juesi shook his head; she simply couldn't get out of here.
"Then I'll go live down below, alright? You must be thrilled that I can't leave this place, aren't you? Let me remind you of something: don't trust him. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died." Si Nuosang walked toward the basin below, stepping very carefully because the ice was somewhat slippery.
"Si Nuosang, will you stop going insane? He really isn't the person you think he is."
"Oh, is that so? Let me remind you of one more thing: if he is the person I think he is, then he is your romantic rival. We used to talk about marriage, you know? In the end, I raised my hand and hurt him, using that exact same weapon to leave him half-dead. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand."
Xuanyuan Juesi had no desire to understand either. Did she mean to say she and Cang had a past together? A very deep one? But how could that be possible? Cang had always been here; for a period of time, he and Cang had practically spent every single day together for nearly several months.
"If you don't understand, don't ask anymore. I'm not in the mood to be an encyclopedia. You stay here, I'm going down. Right now, even the sight of you annoys me. I don't know if you played any role in this matter, but let me tell you, I don't want to look at you right now, nor do I want to look at him."
