"Mm, fellow Daoist? Sorry to interrupt but what about the wolf……" Bíng Huo smiled stiffly. The girl glanced at her empty net and couldn’t help but sigh.

  She needed the wolf to show her grandpa that she could be an adventurer or mercenary. Now she did kill one using her poisonous net but others took it!

  Xi Xue instantly stopped laughing and his face turned serious. The young man tilted his head and asked. "Do you really want a dead wolf……not one to be tamed?"

  He didn’t want to kill any beast which wasn’t his prey.

  "Ah……I need the wolf carcass so my grandpa will give me a tamed high-ranked beast……" Bíng Huo scratched her cheek.

  She needed a high-ranked beast as her tamed beast to be a high-level mercenary but it was hard to find a beast tamer and only grandfather had the connection.

  But he didn’t want to give her if she couldn’t beat a high-ranked beast!

  Hearing Bíng Huo answer, Xi Xue slightly smirked. "So you want a tame beast in the end, right?"

  "Right……"

  "That’s easy then." Xi Xue suddenly whistled out loud. His whistle embodied with his aura rang throughout the forest, spreading his sacred beast aura.

  A second after, all kind of beast from the low-ranked to the high-ranked dashed toward the young man, surrounding the group of people.

  Dust flew everywhere, the ground shook and the cry of these beasts lingered in the air.

  KAAAKK. GRRRR. AWOOO!

  From mammal to reptiles, all of them gathered around Xi Xue.

  "W-what is this??" Bíng Huo’s face turned grave. Her body shook hard, a chill ran down her back. The pressure of all the beasts was directed to their place, making her chest suddenly tightened.

  Bíng Huo was still strong to be able to keep her consciousness but her people already fainted out of shock.

  That was a beast horde! Not only that, the beast actually headed their way! But……why they just stopped and didn’t attack?

  Bíng Huo looked at the calm-looking Xi Xue and she suddenly got goosebumps.

  Is this……Xi Xue’s doing? He……he whistled just now and the beasts suddenly gathered! Who is he?? A beast tamer?!

  What kind of beast tamer could do this??

  Unlike Bíng Huo with her pale face, Xi Xue looked leisure as if the beasts around were all a mere pet.

  "Ah, this small forest doesn’t have a divine beast, huh." Xi Xue mumbled, scanning the beasts gathered around.

  "So, the highest here is a high-ranked beast……" Xi Xue nodded before approaching Bíng Huo out of the blue.

  Bíng Huo flinched. She was about to take a step back out of fear when Xi Xue grinned like a kid. "Bíng Huo, you can choose which beast you want from this batch."

  The young man paused a bit before waving her hand, commanding the beasts lower than high-ranked to leave.

  With just a wave of his hand, 80% of the beasts immediately turn around and leave, only leaving 50 beasts or so and all of them were a high-ranked beast.

  "There. These beasts are all high-ranked. You can pick one!" Xi Xue casually pointed at the beasts. "Of course if you can handle two contracts at the same time you can pick more than one."

  Even though it was usually impossible as someone like his mistress, Li Shi Ying, was very rare. Normal people would only be able to get one tamed beast contracted with them.

  They could only get a new one if the old died.

  Being asked to choose the beasts as if choosing a mere cabbage, Bíng Huo jaw dropped.

  The girl stared at Xi Xue with wide eyes. She slowly lifted her arm and pointed at the young man himself.

  "Y-you……are you a beast tamer?" Her voice was shaking as she asked.

  Xi Xue tilted his head. He could sense Bíng Huo was very guarded at the moment and her expression showed that she was afraid of him.

  ’Am I too much?’ Xi Xue rubbed his chin before slowly opened his mouth to answer.

  "Well, you can say so. I actually can communicate with the beasts." Xi Xue told the girl the truth.

  "My mistress- I mean my master was the one giving me the technique." Xi Xue lied without batting an eyelid.

  He was posing as a human now so better said that his skill was taught by his master.

  "Wow! A beast tamer who can speak the beast language?" Bíng Huo’s eyes brightened. She looked at Xi Xue as if he was a God or something and forgot her fear.

  If this guy was telling the truth……grandpa had to get him into the academy!

  What a talented guy, ah! He looked like he’s still 18 but the power he displayed before was really on par with anyone around 40.

  He’s such a rare gem!

  Thinking that her grandpa would also be happy if she brought him good seedlings, Bíng Huo hurriedly took a deep breath.

  She had to befriend this guy.

  "If that’s the case……" Bíng Huo approached Xi Xue and made a polite bow. "I thank fellow Daoist for the kind offer."

  ’This guy said its compensation for the wolf, right? Then I shouldn’t refuse!’


  Seeing Bíng Huo shamelessly accepted his offer without hesitating even for a second, the vampire didn’t know why he found that amusing.

  He tugged the corner of his mouth and clapped. "Okay then choose the beast you like! I’ll tame them for you."

  ’Hehehe a wife candidate acquired!’ Xi Xue silently rubbed his palms together with an evil smile on his face.

  This is how you court your future wife.
