1340 Chapter 27 Xi Xue Love Story
At the same time, BÃng Huo had just woke up and she heard the ice eagleâs last sentence.
â...dear?â
The girl blinked her eyes softly and groaned, startling the other two. Both of them looked at each and nodded, agreeing to not speak anymore.
"Senior brother? Youâre awake?" Xi Xue hurriedly let the girl stood on her own but his hands were still on her shoulder, protecting her so she wonât fall.
"...what happened? Did I fall asleep again?" BÃng Huo rubbed her eyes and her mind recalled the ice eagleâs sentence.
âYou will regret that, dear.â
BA-THUMP.
The word dear somehow struck BÃng Huoâs heart. The girl looked at Xi Xue with hazy eyes.
âDid the ice eagle just called Xi Xue...dear? Whatâs happening here? What happened when I was asleep?â
The girl bit her lips.
âHow the heck I even fall asleep in the first place? Something is wrong!â
Seeing BÃng Huo didnât respond and just stared blankly at him, Xi Xue snapped. He looked at the ice eagle and shouted,
"Hey, look! BÃng Huo isnât responding to me. Did you do anything to her aside from making her asleep?!"
His shout startled BÃng Huo and the girlâs eyes widened in surprise.
âWhat? The ice eagle made me sleep? Wait, wait. How the hell Xi Xue can speak so rudely to the ice eagle??â
"Xi...Xue..." BÃng Huo called the young man in a groggy voice. "Donât be rude to her." The girl hit Xi Xueâs chest but then she felt really weak that her body fell to the guyâs chest.
â....what the?? Why I canât feel my body?? Iâm so weak!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing the girl fell to him, Xi Xue hurriedly caught her and hugged her to secure the girlâs body. He glared at the ice eagle again.
"What did you do?"
âThis isnât a normal sleeping spell!â
"Sheâs just tired." The ice eagle shrugged. "I bet she needs rest. I only made her sleep with my cultivation energy, nothing more."
"So sheâs like this because sheâs tired?" Xi Xue raised an eyebrow. He looked back at BÃng Huo and his heart softened.
"Why you didnât tell me you are tired..." Xi Xue caressed the girlâs head.
âThis must be her first time sleeping in a cave with a man and then she guided me to the Academy, doing all sort of things.â
Xi Xue smiled bitterly. "You silly, " He whispered.
âYou must be tired.â
Seeing how gentle Xi Xue treated BÃng Huo, the ice eagle giggled.
âAh-ah, see, this sacred beast is in love with a human. I expect a drama coming soon.â
"If your business with me is done then please leave." The ice eagle waved her hand and the temperature in the cave dropped even further.
"Your little girl- boy needs rest." The ice eagle spoke in a stoic face even though deep inside, she was smiling widely.
âA sacred beast and a human. This is like that dragon and his human wife.â
"Mn. We will be going." Xi Xue nodded. He turned around and carried BÃng Huo in a princess carry. The guy had just walked a few steps when he stopped.
He turned to look at the ice eagle. "Hey. Can you dispose of that wind outside your cave? I canât go down because of that."
âIâm afraid BÃng Huo will be wounded by that wind.â
"Oh, that wind. Iâll give you and your little lover protection."
"What- sheâs not my lover!" Xi Xueâs face turned red but the ice eagle ignored it.
The ice eagle casually waved her hand and created a barrier around Xi Xueâs body, enveloping even BÃng Huo in Xi Xueâs arm.
"There. No need to worry about your little sweetheart." The ice eagle waved her hand, motioning the guy to get out of her cave.
Xi Xue was about to refute again but he swallowed it. The guy walked out of the cave and rode on the white owl back, descending the mountain pretty fast as the white owl also got the barrier protection.
Along the way, Xi Xue was silent. He looked at the tired-looking BÃng Huo and sighed.
âWhy that eagle tease me? Iâm just friends with this girl. No, maybe sheâs only a potential food.â
Xi Xue shook his head.
âItâs going to be hard to marry a human but that doesnât mean itâs impossible.â
At the thought of marrying BÃng Huo, Xi Xue suddenly paused. He was baffled with his own thought.
âWait, what! Why I think about marriage?? No, no, thereâs no way Iâll marry this bean sprout!â
Xi Xue bit his lips and decided to forget it. He brought BÃng Huo to their room and laid her on the bed while the guy took a bath.
Little did he know that BÃng Huo was half-awake all this time. She naturally heard the ice eagle teasing Xi Xue and how the man responded with âsheâ.
BÃng Huo gripped her bedsheet and stared at the partition separating them.
âXi Xue...you already know Iâm a girl? How do you know that? Why you donât tell me?â
The girl bit her lips and somehow felt an immense betrayal from the guy.
âI thought you wonât know but maybe....you already know all this time? You pretend you donât know?â
BÃng Huo recalled all the things happening between them and her face flushed red.
âSo Xi Xue already knows Iâm a girl and he still did those things!â
BÃng Huo kicked her quilt and pouted. Her head throbbed, she felt lost in the sea of feeling.
"Xi Xue...how strong are you to see through my disguise?" BÃng Huo took a deep breath and inhaled.
