1320 Chapter 7 Xi Xue love story
"Iâm back." Xi Xue casually greeted as he entered the cave. On his right hand was a carcass of a chicken-like beast.
"Ah? Welcome back..." BÃng Huo subconsciously replied but seconds after, she realized the conversation was like a newlyweds couple.
Her cheek instantly flushed red like a tomato but the darkness in the cave hide it well. Only the fire camp in front of her illuminated her face, brightening her face.
"Here, you cook this. I canât cook." Xi Xue handed over the chicken-like beast carcass without head to BÃng Huo. The man then sat down while wiping his mouth with the back of his palm.
âCanât let her see the blood.â
"Mn..." BÃng Huo frowned and took the chicken carcass only to see it was in a bloodied state. She checked the carcass and saw it didnât have a head.
"You killed this?" BÃng Huo glanced at Xi Xue. Under the faint fire camp light, his brown eyes somehow looked a bit bright and the colour...was red?
"What? Yeah, I also took out the blood so you donât have to clean it." Xi Xue shrugged. "Donât ask me how I do that though."
BÃng Huo looked back at the chicken and indeed, it was already âdryâ without even a drop of blood left.
But there was a lot of technique to suck beast blood out since beast blood usually could be used as potion or medicine.
"I see. Well, Iâll cook this then." BÃng Huo casually ignored the bad state of the chicken. "Do you like it roasted or-"
"Anything is fine. As long as you put seasoning." Xi Xue hurriedly replied, "You have herbs as a seasoning, no?"
He had been used to eat delicious food at the higher realm so if he ate something bland...he might as well drink more blood.
âBlood is already enough but any kind of good food is a delicacy.â Xi Xue rubbed his palms.
"I carry a few herbs for cooking." BÃng Huo took of the herbs out of her spatial ring. She did it with a straight face, not knowing that Xi Xue eyes widened, staring at her.
âShe also has a spatial ring? Isnât that expensive in the lower realm?â
Xi Xue squinted. He suddenly scanned the girl from her head to toe and noticed she was wearing high-quality clothes.
The clothes got several buffs such as speed, durability and attack boost.
Just looking at this, one could see the girl should come from a rich family.
Propping his chin, Xi Xue suddenly asked, "So...why you come to the forest in the first place?"
BÃng Huo was cutting up the chicken using the knife she brought when Xi Xue asked this. Her hand stopped moving for a second before it resumed.
"As I told you before, my grandfather wants me to prove myself." She glanced at her normal-sized owl standing near her and smiled.
"What about you?" she asked back.
Xi Xue was taken aback for a second. The man gulped and finally answered in a murmur, "I...come to find a place to sleep."
"What??" BÃng Huoâs knife slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. Thankfully it didnât harm anymore.
"You...you come to this forest just to sleep then?" BÃng Huo looked at Xi Xue with her lips twitching.
Even though this forest was small, it was still dangerous for anyone to sleep a night yet this man...he purposely came here to sleep?!
"Yeah. Because the inns are all fully booked so..." Xi Xue touched his nose. "I donât have any choice."
BÃng Huoâs eyes dimmed. The girlâs face turned solemn. "If you told me before that you donât have a place to sleep, I can help you!"
Now itâs too late, they had to sleep here.
"Mn, Iâll ask you next time." Xi Xue laughed seeing BÃng Huo pouted.
âThis girl really wants to help me that much, huh?â A smile bloomed on Xi Xueâs face.
"So, are you here for Dong Xi academy entrance exam?" BÃng Huo suddenly asked again. "Is that why you are looking for an inn?"
"Well, yeah. I want to apply tomorrow," Xi Xue replied. "So I have to sleep near the academy, right?"
BÃng Huo paused a bit and averted her eyes from the guy. She looked at the chicken she was roasting and went silent for a few seconds before suddenly spoke,
"You see...Iâm a student there." The girl tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Ah?" Xi Xue almost bit his tongue. He stared eye-widened at BÃng Huo.
This pipsqueak is a student there? What a coincidence!
"Ohh thatâs good! Then if Im accepted, Iâll go find you." Xi Xue grinned. "Should I call you senior sis- brother from now on?"
Xi Xue silently patted his chest as he almost called BÃng Huo âsisterâ. Then the girl would know he discovered her real gender.
That would be bad.
"What senior brother ah. Arenât you older than me?" BÃng Huo suddenly giggled. She took the chicken skewer she had roasted and walked over to Xi Xue place.
"Here, still hot so be careful." The girl took Xi Xueâs hand and made him grabbed the skewer.
"Ah, thanks." Xi Xue glanced at the girlâs hand holding his hand and silently cursed.
âWhy is this girl so casual? She doesnât have any awareness ah??â
Xi Xue gripped the skewer tight and brushed away BÃng Huoâs hand. "You better eat too."
The man immediately munched the chicken skewer while avoiding BÃng Huoâs eyes.
âThat was close. If she was like that for a bit longer...â
Xi Xueâs little fangs slowly popped out and his eyes turned red for a second.
