1330 Chapter 17 Xi Xue love story
’I’m done for. That eagle must be head over heels for his majesty.’
Xi Xue stared blankly at Long Ao Zhen’s portrait, not moving at all. Bíng Huo saw the guy acted weird and couldn’t help but nudge him.
"Hey, hey! Why are you silent?" Bíng Huo poked Xi Xue cheek? "Are you so mesmerized by senior Long-"
"No, no." Xi Xue hurriedly shook his head. "I’m just a bit taken aback."
’Because this senior you are talking about is my emperor, ah!!’ Xi Xue smiled dryly.
’But seriously, he became a legend even after so many years passed by!’
"Ah, so you’re surprised?" Bíng Huo tilted her head. "Don’t 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." Bíng Huo laughed, showing her row of teeth.
Xi Xue flinched. The man looked at Long Ao Zhen’s portrait again and sighed.
’His majesty is indeed so handsome he looks like someone not from this world.’
"...you like this senior?" Xi Xue suddenly asked. The man had just asked when he paused, regretting his question.
’And why should I ask her like that?!’
Bíng Huo blinked twice and nodded. "Everyone here admires him so if you ask me if I like him...I do?"
’This senior is famous to be the academy’s pride after all.’
"I mean not like admiration but you see, crush, maybe?" Xi Xue scratched his cheek and glanced sideways.
Bíng Huo went silent for a few seconds as she stared at Xi Xue in disbelief.
"You- I’m a man ah and Im straight! Of course, I don’t like him that way." Bíng Huo face flushed red. The girl strongly denied.
’Why Xi Xue suddenly asks like this, ah?? I never have any feeling for senior Long. I never met him before!’
Hearing Bíng Huo’s answer, Xi Xue didn’t 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." Bíng Huo slapped Xi Xue back and immediately shifted the conversation. "Ah right, shall we go to the mountain now?"
’It’s still morning so it should be okay.’
"Now?" Xi Xue looked up and saw the sun wasn’t above his head yet.
’Ah, there’s still time.’
"Okay then, I’m also curious about this mountain." Xi Xue nodded.
"Good, good. Now follow me." Bíng Huo grabbed Xi Xue’s 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 don’t 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 won’t go astray." Bíng 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." Bíng 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 eagle’s domain, it will be very cold, indeed," Bíng 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 couldn’t help but nudged the owl on her shoulder. The owl got off her shoulder and circled her head instead.
"It’s always cold but in some area, it can be hot and humid, or warm." Bíng Huo walked toward the entrance and stopped in front of it. "C’mon, 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 Bíng Huo without blinking at all. He kept staring until Bíng Huo shouted again, "Hey, what are you looking at? Hurry! Don’t 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 girl’s 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.
’Why she looks so pretty all of sudden.’
The man sighed and decided to focus. He squinted his eyes as he walked deeper into the forest, with Bíng 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.
’This forest...also has quite a dense cultivation energy.’ Xi Xue inhaled deeply and sighed.
’Well forget that what I need to do now is to meet the ice eagle! I have to hurry before another beast court her.’
Xi Xue was determined.
