"Eh? A sacred beast meeting?" BÃng Huo gulped. The girl swayed her legs as she sat on the bed.
"Yes. It will be held tomorrow, at the ice eagle cave." Xi Xue nodded. He approached the girl and sat down behind her. Xi Xue didnât wait before he hugged BÃng Huo from behind and snuggled to her neck.
Seeing Xi Xueâs attitude, BÃng Huo couldnât help but laugh. She shook her head and patted Xi Xueâs head on her neck.
"Why do you look so gloomy? I wonât be mad, okay? Just go."
"No, itâs not that..." Xi Xue rubbed his cheek to BÃng Huoâs neck before sighing deeply. "For this meeting...I want you to come with me."
...
"What??" BÃng Huo was so shocked that she moved her head, and it almost bumped into Xi Xueâs head on her shoulder. The girl hurriedly wriggled and faced Xi Xue, still in his embrace.
"What did you say? Iâll also follow you?" She continued.
"Mn. Whatâs wrong? You donât like it?" Xi Xue tilted his head. His arms around BÃng Huoâs waist tightened.
"N-no, but... Iâm not a sacred beast, you know? Is it okay for me to go?" BÃng Huoâs heart pounded hard. The girl looked up at Xi Xue with a worried face.
âIâm not even a sacred beast, ah!â
"Well, the meeting is open for the sacred beastâs spouse as well. The ice eagle said that any sacred beast that already has a spouse could bring their spouse along."
Xi Xue casually kissed BÃng Huoâs head and stroked the girlâs back. Now that both of them were legally married according to the humansâ custom as well, he became even more touchy than before.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hoo...I just know..." BÃng Huo mumbled. She lowered her head for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth.
"Then...what is the meeting about? I only need to accompany you and sit next to you, right?"
"Mmm..." The smile on Xi Xueâs face slowly vanished. The young man paused his fingers movement before slowly twirling BÃng Huoâs hair again.
"You will sit with me, but I think Iâll cast a soundproof barrier around you."
"Eh, why?" BÃng Huoâs eyes widened. The girl looked up at Xi Xue only to see the guy had a grim face.
"Because the content of the meeting is confidential. Thatâs why I think....itâs better if you donât know." Xi Xueâs voice was hoarse as he spoke so.
From the tone alone, BÃng Huo sensed that something was not right. She wanted to ask Xi Xue, but the vampire shook his head.
"The meeting is an emergency meeting. I donât think I want you to know the content. It might be dangerous and unsettling..." Xi Xue gently wrapped his finger with BÃng Huoâs silky hair.
The man then played with the girlâs hair as he continued to talk in a bleak tone. "Iâm sorry...but you will understand, right?"
The fierce little vampire now looked like a meek lamb in front of his wife.
Seeing Xi Xueâs apologetic face, BÃng Huo giggled. The girl smiled and nodded. "I know. Iâll try not to disturb you and your meeting."
âIf Xi Xue said that itâs dangerous for me, then I should listen to him.â
BÃng Huo didnât want to get involved with anything dangerous. The fact that Xi Xue brought her to the meeting alone was already a good thing for her.
"Ah, right, Iâm curious. The sacred beast attending the meeting...how many will there be?" BÃng Huo snuggled deeper to Xi Xueâs embrace as she placed her head on the guyâs sturdy chest.
"Hmmm...maybe around 20 people all around the world, but the one attending are those close to our place. So...5 people? Plus my friends in the higher realm."
Xi Xue spoke casually, but his last sentence made BÃng Huo fall silent. The girlâs jaw dropped as she hit Xi Xueâs chest lightly.
"What did you say? Your friends at the...higher realm?" The girlâs face turned pale. She knew that only mythological beasts resided in the higher realm.
So...could it be Xi Xueâs friends were...
As if knowing what the girl was thinking about, Xi Xue hurriedly answered to avoid misunderstanding.
"Ah, my friends are sacred beasts like me, but they are contracted to the wife of the late dragon emperor..."
Xi Xueâs eyes still looked calm as he explained, but his next sentence caught BÃng Huo unguarded.
"I am also a contracted beast of the late dragon raceâs empress. So...they are like my colleagues?"
....
"Colleagues? Contracted to the dragon raceâs previous empress?" BÃng Huo mumbled as her eyes turned white. Even though she lived in the lower realm, it didnât mean she didnât know the history of the higher empire.
Especially regarding the dragon raceâs first human empress, the empress before this generationâs empress.
Why would she know? Of course, because that empress was once a student of this academy! That studentâs husband, the previous emperor, was also once a student of this academy.
"A-are you talking about senior Li Shi Ying and senior Long Ao Zhen? The alumnus of this academy?" BÃng Huo cautiously asked. Her voice was trembling as she asked.
"Ah? Yeah! You know a lot about the higher realm, huh?" Xi Xue nodded excitedly. He then hugged BÃng Huo tighter as he spoke,
"I am a contracted beast of that Li Shi Ying. I mean...was a contracted beast. She severed our contracts before she disappeared." Xi Xue sighed.
âYeah, I am now no longer her majestyâs contacted beast, right?â
