1330 Chapter 17 Xi Xue love story
âIâm done for. That eagle must be head over heels for his majesty.â
Xi Xue stared blankly at Long Ao Zhenâs portrait, not moving at all. BÃng Huo saw the guy acted weird and couldnât help but nudge him.
"Hey, hey! Why are you silent?" BÃng Huo poked Xi Xue cheek? "Are you so mesmerized by senior Long-"
"No, no." Xi Xue hurriedly shook his head. "Iâm just a bit taken aback."
âBecause this senior you are talking about is my emperor, ah!!â Xi Xue smiled dryly.
âBut seriously, he became a legend even after so many years passed by!â
"Ah, so youâre surprised?" BÃng Huo tilted her head. "Donât worry a lot of new students are also like that, " she added.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, they said the esteemed senior is so handsome he looks unreal." BÃng Huo laughed, showing her row of teeth.
Xi Xue flinched. The man looked at Long Ao Zhenâs portrait again and sighed.
âHis majesty is indeed so handsome he looks like someone not from this world.â
"...you like this senior?" Xi Xue suddenly asked. The man had just asked when he paused, regretting his question.
âAnd why should I ask her like that?!â
BÃng Huo blinked twice and nodded. "Everyone here admires him so if you ask me if I like him...I do?"
âThis senior is famous to be the academyâs pride after all.â
"I mean not like admiration but you see, crush, maybe?" Xi Xue scratched his cheek and glanced sideways.
BÃng Huo went silent for a few seconds as she stared at Xi Xue in disbelief.
"You- Iâm a man ah and Im straight! Of course, I donât like him that way." BÃng Huo face flushed red. The girl strongly denied.
âWhy Xi Xue suddenly asks like this, ah?? I never have any feeling for senior Long. I never met him before!â
Hearing BÃng Huoâs answer, Xi Xue didnât know why but his heart was warm all of sudden. A grin bloomed on his face.
"Good then, good," he mumbled.
"Geez, what are you even talking about." BÃng Huo slapped Xi Xue back and immediately shifted the conversation. "Ah right, shall we go to the mountain now?"
âItâs still morning so it should be okay.â
"Now?" Xi Xue looked up and saw the sun wasnât above his head yet.
âAh, thereâs still time.â
"Okay then, Iâm also curious about this mountain." Xi Xue nodded.
"Good, good. Now follow me." BÃng Huo grabbed Xi Xueâs hand and dragged him with her. "Oh, right, I forgot one thing." The girl paused a bit and lowered her voice.
"We have to be careful when we go there."
"Hm? Why?" Xi Xue tilted his head.
"Because the second-year students are having an exam there. You donât want to accidentally get involved in it, right?"
Xi Xue frowned but in the end, he nodded. "So what should we do? In case they see us and shoot us or something?"
"Just stay close to me so you wonât go astray." BÃng Huo smirked as she led Xi Xue to the mountain.
30 minutes walking and they finally arrived at the entrance.
"See, this is the mountain our academy has." BÃng Huo pointed at the row of tall mountains far away from their place.
The mountains represented the different climate, making it the most suitable place for a test.
"Hmmm, this..." Xi Xue nodded and stared at the forest right in front of them. Chilling air seeping out from it, slowly penetrated his bone.
"It looks like it will be super cold." Xi Xue immediately channelled his energy to his skin, instantly created a layer made out If his cultivation energy.
"Much better, " he mumbled.
"Since this mountain is the ice eagleâs domain, it will be very cold, indeed," BÃng Huo spoke while using her cultivation energy to keep her body warm.
White steam flowed out her mouth as she spoke.
"Is the climate here always cold?" Xi Xue glanced at the girl and couldnât help but nudged the owl on her shoulder. The owl got off her shoulder and circled her head instead.
"Itâs always cold but in some area, it can be hot and humid, or warm." BÃng Huo walked toward the entrance and stopped in front of it. "Câmon, come with me!"
She smiled brightly as the sunlight shone upon her light blue hair. The girl looked like an ice goddess at the moment.
Xi Xue stared at BÃng Huo without blinking at all. He kept staring until BÃng Huo shouted again, "Hey, what are you looking at? Hurry! Donât be in a daze!"
The girl waved at Xi Xue and somehow she ran back to him just to grab his wrist. "Duh, if you are like this you will easily get lost," she grumbled while dragging the guy to the forest.
Xi Xue just glanced at the girlâs face and only after a few seconds could snap out of it.
"Sorry, sorry." Xi Xue smiled stiffly while feeling his heart suddenly beats faster.
âWhy she looks so pretty all of sudden.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The man sighed and decided to focus. He squinted his eyes as he walked deeper into the forest, with BÃng Huo holding his hand.
His sight was instantly filled with various colourful weird plants that he had never seen before. It was all unique and had their own shape.
âThis forest...also has quite a dense cultivation energy.â Xi Xue inhaled deeply and sighed.
âWell forget that what I need to do now is to meet the ice eagle! I have to hurry before another beast court her.â
Xi Xue was determined.
