This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Hearing Bíng Huo’s question, Xi Xue stiffened as his real age was really unlike his youthful appearance.
"...I..." Xi Xue gulped hard and took a deep breath. He looked at Bíng Huo suspicious gaze and finally decided to say the truth.
"Listen. I know this might sound unbelievable but..." Xi Xue sighed. "I’m...actually a sacred beast." The man then removed his disguise, revealing his red eyes and black hair.
The moment his words dropped, silence filled the room. Bíng Huo stared at Xi Xue in blank eyes. Her body froze as if someone pressed a pause button.
BA-THUMP.
’Red eyes...black...hair?’
Bíng Huo’s breath stilled. Her chest pounded hard.
"A sacred...beast? You?" Bíng Huo shifted back while tightening the grip on Xi Xue’s blanket. Fear and anxiety were reflected in her eyes.
"No- no way. No, there’s no way..." Bíng Huo kept mumbling as she looked at Xi Xue in horror.
Seeing the girl was ready to run, Xi Xue hurriedly approached her with a gentle smile.
"W-wait, wait, I’m indeed a sacred beast but I- "
"No! Stay away!" Bíng Huo shouted. Tears started to flow down her cheek. The girl’s body trembled. Her face paled in an instant.
’I have been friends with a sacred beast all this time? I even act rude to him- wait, why would a sacred beast be a student??’
"Y-you...you..." Bíng Huo whimpered. "You...why you didn’t tell me. I- "
Tears kept streaming down her eyes and the sight just stabbed Xi Xue’s heart. The man didn’t know why but he kept approaching the girl even when he knew he shouldn’t.
"N-no..." Bíng Huo kept shifting back until her back hit the wall. She suddenly choked on her own tears.
"No, back off! I-i didn’t know- sorry, sorry, please forgive me." Bíng Huo shielded her face with her arm and subconsciously used cultivation energy to protect her body.
"D-don’t kill me..." her last sentence made Xi Xue paused. He already climbed the bed but he couldn’t move forward.
His eyes darkened.
’Ah...right. A sacred beast nature is usually violent and arrogant. They hate humans and will not hesitate to kill one if they meet them.’
The sight of Bíng Huo begging for her life just cut his heart deeply. His heart ached. His chest tightened.
Xi Xue suddenly found it hard to breathe.
"Bíng Huo..." Xi Xue weakly whispered. "I...I won’t harm you..."
His gentle and soft voice sounded like a wounded beast. His eyes reflected pain and regret as he stared at Bíng Huo.
The girl was peeking from her blanket when she saw Xi Xue’s eyes were full of pain. It looked like he’s in a lot of pain.
Bíng Huo’s heart suddenly ached. Her hand subconsciously stretched out to the man.
"Why...you look like you’re in pain..." Bíng Huo gulped and her palm just touched Xi Xue’s cheek.
’Xi Xue...is a sacred beast. I should be afraid of him but why...’
Realizing what she was doing, Bíng Huo instantly retracted her hand but Xi Xue was fast enough to grab her hand, making it stay on his left cheek.
"No. Listen. I...I really won’t harm you." Xi Xue closed his eyes. He stroked the back of the girl’s palm on his cheek. "I swear on my life if I harm you even a single hair ruined...I will die."
The man suddenly made an oath. His words were followed by a loud thunder noise outside the room, startling the girl to death.
"Xi Xue?? What are you- what did you do??" Bíng Huo tossed her blanket and grabbed Xi Xue’s cheek with both of her hands.
"How could you- "
’Why? Why he acts like this when he’s a sacred beast?’
"Why...are you doing this. You...you are a sacred beast- you don’t need to make an oath!" Bíng Huo’s voice weakened but she didn’t retract her hands.
"I’m...just a human. You..."
So many things swirled inside the girl’s mind. She wanted to ask a lot of questions but didn’t know what to ask first.
"I don’t know." Xi Xue squeezed his eyes tight. His complexion darkened. "I don’t know why I do that but..." He slowly opened his eyes, showing his bloody red pupil.
"I just don’t want to frighten you..." Xi Xue smiled bitterly. He looked deeply into Bíng Huo’s sapphire eyes. One could see a trace of gentleness in his eyes.
Bíng Huo was baffled. Her heart suddenly pounded fast being stared like that.
At first, she was scared of those red eyes but now it suddenly looked pretty.
"...okay. I believe you won’t harm me." Bíng Huo slowly moved closer to the guy. "I...I am sorry I react like that before..."
’Knowing you are a sacred beast really almost stop my heartbeat.’
"No, it’s okay. That’s...a normal reaction." Xi Xue averted his eyes.
’Up until now, how many beasts and humans I have killed? It’s normal for her to be scared of me, a sacred beast.’
Bíng Huo was silent for a few seconds before she stroked Xi Xue’s cheek with her other hand.
"....I have so many things to ask you but..." Bíng Huo bit her lips, trying to control her chaotic heartbeat. "Let’s...just stay like this for now."
’I want to ask why you disguise as human. Why you come to this Academy. No wonder you can tame beasts. Also...why you help me? Why you become my friends?’
All these uncertain questions stayed in Bíng Huo’s mind but one thing she was certain of.
’I....I think...I like Xi Xue...’
Bíng Huo’s heart felt like being squeezed.
’But he’s a sacred beast!’
