Chapter 1377 - 64 Xi Xue love story
"Grandpa..." Bíng Huo called out to her grandpa as she stopped a few meters in front of the wooden table. Her grandpa was sitting on a chair behind the table, reading a book.
The old man immediately lifted his head with a warm smile on his face. "Huo’er!" The grandpa just stood up when he saw Bíng Huo holding Xi Xue’s hand.
His heart skipped a beat.
"That..." The old man pointed his finger at Xi Xue and Bíng Huo’s intertwined hands. His finger was shaking as he spoke,
"What’s...going on?"
’Why is my granddaughter holding hands with this young beast tamer?? My granddaughter is currently in disguise as a man, right??’
There’s no way the old man wouldn’t realize what’s happening right now. His instinct instantly told him that there’s something between his granddaughter and this young man.
Not to mention that Xi Xue came with black hair and red eyes, looking 180° different from his appearance a few days ago.
’What’s going on??’
"That, grandpa..." Bíng Huo coughed. She tugged Xi Xue’s hand as she spoke, "We have several things to inform you. But first, I’ll let Xi Xue tell it."
The girl looked away from her grandpa and looked up at Xi Xue. She nodded at the young man.
Xi Xue nodded back at Bíng Huo and tightened his grip on the girl’s hand. He took a deep breath before taking a step forward.
"Headmaster." Xi Xue opened his mouth slowly as he looked straight at the old man’s eyes.
"What is it?" The headmaster frowned. He subconsciously crossed his arms as he sat back to the chair.
"I...have to tell you something." Xi Xue lowered his head without releasing Bíng Huo’s hand. He gritted his teeth and summoned all his courage.
"Truthfully, I...am not a human, " Xi Xue spoke straight to the point.
...what?
The old man widened his eyes in disbelief. His jaw tensed as he eyed Xi Xue.
"What do you mean? Aren’t you a beast tamer? If you’re not a human, then what are you– "
"I am a sacred beast. I can shapeshift into a human."
GRATAK.
The old man hit his legs onto the table. He suddenly looked at Xi Xue with horrors in his eyes.
"A sacred...beast?"
There’s fear in his voice as the old man trembled. He looked at Bíng Huo in disbelief. His heart beat faster, and sweat slowly dripped down his forehead.
"Huo’er is this true– "
"It’s true, grandpa." Bíng Huo nodded. "I wanted to tell you this, but I also just knew this morning." The girl sighed. "This man isn’t a beast tamer. He is simply a sacred beast. That’s why he can command the other beasts."
Bíng Huo looked at her grandpa with serene eyes. She looked like she’s not lying even for a bit. One would only see wholesome honesty in her eyes.
The old man gasped. His face paled in a mere second.
"How could– then we just admitted a sacred beast to be our student– no, no, that’s not the problem." The headmaster shook his head. He mumbled as he propped his head.
"If he is a sacred beast..."
’Isn’t this mean we are in danger?! A sacred beast is violent in nature, except for those who are already tamed! But this young man...’
The old man instantly stood up. He looked at Bíng Huo with trembling pupils.
"Huo’er, come here. What are you doing there?? He is dangerous!" The old man shouted, he was about to run toward the girl when Bíng Huo shook her head.
"No, gramps. Xue Xue is not dangerous! I can assure you." Bíng Huo tightened her grip on Xi Xue’s hand. The girl then stared at her grandpa with unwavering eyes.
"If he is dangerous, I’ll be long dead when I know he is a sacred beast!"
The girl’s last sentence hit the old man hard. He staggered. The old man looked at his granddaughter with teary eyes.
"Then, you...but..."
’Just what’s going on? The young, talented beast tamer turns out to be a sacred beast. And my granddaughter already knows this fact? But why is she fine?’
The headmaster of the academy, as well as Bíng Huo’s grandfather, fell silent. He didn’t say anything for a few seconds as he sat down.
’Could it be...this man isn’t dangerous? Like what Huo’er said, if this man means any harm to her, she would be long dead.’
The old man rubbed his long, white beard. He subconsciously frowned.
’But...a sacred beast is merciless and known to be a human-hater. Why is he fine with my granddaughter?’
This question led the old man to lift his head. He looked at Xi Xue in caution.
"...if I may know, what beast race are you?" The old man asked in a polite tone, completely different from how he treated Xi Xue before.
Xi Xue nodded. He slowly opened this mouth, showing his pair of fangs. "I am a vampire. An ancient sacred beast race."
BA-THUMP.
The old man got another heart attack. He slumped to the chair as his body trembled hard.
’A vampire? A super-rare beast race that can be counted with fingers? Why– why is my granddaughter involved with one of them??’
Bíng Huo’s grandpa wiped the sweat on his forehead. He inhaled deeply before sighing.
’A vampire. A legendary being that is said to be a mere legend. I didn’t expect to see one here. But...’
The old man glanced at Xi Xue and still saw the young man’s pair of fangs when the guy opened his mouth.
’Ah...that...is a vampire for real.’
