1318 Chapter 5 Xi Xue Love Story
"Alright, I'll choose then." Bíng Huo rubbed her palms and started to circle the beasts. The girl really cast aside her fear of Xi Xue and just shamelessly choose a beast she liked.
After 15 minutes of trying to pick a beast, Bíng Huo finally decided upon a giant grey owl. It looked like a really normal-looking owl except for its size.
"This one!" Bíng Huo pointed at the huge 3-meters owl with golden eyes shining like a star.
Seeing the girl picked a flying-type beast, Xi Xue nodded in agreement. "Good choice. This is the strongest out of the others."
"He's almost reaching divine rank!" Xi Xue whistled, praising Bíng Huo for her keen eyes.
With just a glance, the girl could find the best beast for herself. She was quite talented, right?
"Mn, that's why I choose this one." Bíng Huo touched her nose and her cheek flushed a bit.
From Xi Xue tone of voice, she knew that he was praising her.
"Okay. You. Come here." Xi Xue suddenly crooked his finger calling the big owl to fly closer. Without hesitation, the owl flapped its wings sending a strong wind toward the two.
It then flew straight to Xi Xue and stopped in front of him. Its towering body blocked the sun which was about to set.
The golden light of the sunset illuminated its head, adding more beauty and charisma to the owl.
"Good, good, now you…" Xi Xue coughed and switched to a beast language.
[Do you want to be that girl's contracted beast?]
The owl flinched. Its eyes widened not believing Xi Xue to politely ask him first.
He thought this sacred beast would just immediately forced him but...that wasn't the case?
[If it's milord order, I'll do it.] The owl nodded.
It's not a big deal to be with a human if he could get close to this sacred beast. It would enhance his cultivation faster!
Usually sacred beast had a lot of resources to help their cultivation so their underlings would naturally get a share.
[Good, good. This girl is quite strong. You won't suffer under her.]
Xi Xue smiled and turned around to look at Bíng Huo. The girl's eyes were shining in awe as she looked at him.
"Xi Xue, you're really a pro! You just talked to this owl-"
"Right, right, shall we start the contract? The sun is about to set." Xi Xue interrupted. His ears turned red but the guy put up a calm face.
He had to retain his dignity as a sacred beast. Don't blush!
"I think we should find a cave first? The contract usually takes a long time…" Bíng Huo glanced at the orange sky and felt the need to find somewhere peaceful to make the contract.
With this in thought, the two people left the others fainting on the ground and went to find a cave. Of course, the other beasts went back to their own nest while the owl followed the two.
They finally managed to find a cave right when the sky turned dark. Stars merged while the sun went to hide.
Bíng Huo lit up a fire in the cave before allowing Xi Xue and the owl to come inside.
"Since the cave isn't too large…" Bíng Huo looked at the big owl and sighed. "Can you make this owl shrunk in size?" She asked Xi Xue.
"Of course!" Xi Xue immediately asked the owl to become small and indeed, it suddenly shrunk to the size of a normal owl.
It looked so cute just like a baby owl now!
"Now, you can begin the contract. Don't worry, he's already tame and he agreed to make a contract with you." Xi Xue pushed the owl to the girl and let the owl sat on the girl's shoulder.
"...okay." Bíng Huo paused a bit looking hesitant yet, in the end, she decided to believe in Xi Xue.
The girl started to channel her cultivation energy to the owl and the owl didn't resist. It means the beast was really already tamed.
Sighing in relief, Bíng Huo sat in a lotus position and closed her eyes. She began the process of the contract for real this time.
The girl was focusing all her attention on the beast that she didn't notice another beast in the cave was also looking at her with intense eyes.
Light blue hair, the colour of the ice. Dark blue eyes, the colour of the sea. Reddish lips, just like a ripe apple. Fair skin resembling milk.
'She is pretty.' Xi Xue propped his chin as he stared at the girl.
Illuminated by the fire in the cave, Bíng Huo's face looked bright. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly every time she breathed.
The girl was in a man disguise thanks to the ring she had but in Xi Xue eyes, she was in her female appearance.
Her hair was loosened down and the clothes she wore was that of a female.
It turned out the male clothes the girl wore was also only an illusion.
"What a good quality ring." Xi Xue mumbled, praising the illusion ring to be so good to also create a clothes illusion.
This way no one would see Bíng Huo as a girl.
'But why she disguised herself in the first place?' Xi Xue blinked, staring hard at Bíng Huo face.
The more he looked, the more he found the girl to be so attractive despite being a human.
Was he so desperate to find a wife that even a human he just met looked so beautiful?
Okay, he's crazy.
