Xi Xue’s body stiffened. The young man looked down at the girl desperately cling at him, and his heart suddenly beats fast.

  "Hey, why are you hugging me-"

  "You are the one commanding my owl!!" Bíng Huo shrieked as she hit Xi Xue’s chest. "You meanie, meanie! Idiot!"

  Xi Xue squinted and suddenly grabbed Bíng Huo’s wrist stopping her from hitting him. "Ey, senior brother, don’t tell me you are afraid of height?"

  Bíng Huo paused. The girl clasped Xi Xue’s clothes tight and nodded. "Y-yes, so what!"

  "Well, then why you suggest us to fly, ah?" Xi Xue smirked as his arm snaked the girl’s waist, hugging her tighter.

  !

  "Wait, your hand-"

  "Hush, answer me first." Xi Xue blew air to Bíng Huo’s ear, instantly boiled her face.

  "I-if I am calm, I’m not afraid b-but that was so sudden……" Bíng Huo squeezed her eyes tight and subconsciously leaned to the young man’s chest.

  She completely forgot she was so close to the guy.

  Her faint fragrance lingered in the air, striking Xi Xue’s sensitive nose. The little vampire frowned and his fangs just popped out again.

  ’Damn it why you smell so delicious!’ Xi Xue gritted his teeth, suppressing his fangs to go back in.

  "Okay, okay, that was my fault," Xi Xue mumbled. He silently inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm his chaotic heartbeat.

  The warmth of the girl in his embrace seeped to his heart, somehow sending a weird ticklish feeling.

  Xi Xue looked at Bíng Huo again and sighed.

  ’I want to push her but……my body doesn’t want to.’


  "Senior brother, are you going to hug me like this forever?" Xi Xue finally spoke in a serious tone. "We are already high above the cloud and its stable here-"

  "W-wait, let me calm down for a second." Bíng Huo gripped Xi Xue’s clothes and slowly inhaled. Her breath hit the guy’s neck, making his body stiffened.

  ’F*ck, can you be more conscious of yourself ah?? You are a woman! Even though you are a man outside but still……’


  Xi Xue slapped his forehead with his left hand but his right hand was still circling Bíng Huo’s waist.

  ’Her waist is so slim. I can break her in a single move.’ Xi Xue’s eyes narrowed.

  "Are you done?" he asked again, feeling that his blood rushed to a certain place down there.

  ’C’mon, if you are this close to me, I’ll get a reaction!’


  "Mn. I’m better now." Bíng Huo nodded and slowly released Xi Xue’s clothes but she still didn’t dare to sit farther from him.

  She would even occasionally grabbed Xi Xue’s arm around her waist just to be sure she was safe.

  Seeing this, the guy couldn’t help but laugh.

  "Hahaha! Senior brother, you are actually a coward, huh?" Xi Xue snaked his left arm around Bíng Huo’s waist and now both his arms were grabbing her, hugging her from behind.

  !

  "Hey, why you hug me-"

  "Because if I let go, you might fall you know?" Xi Xue grinned and slowly released Bíng Huo, instantly frightened the girl.

  "Ah, ah, don’t let go!" She grabbed Xi Xue’s arms again and voluntarily put it around her waist. The girl lowered her head as tears gathered in her eyelids.

  ’Damn it, if only I didn’t say we should go by the owl……I won’t be humiliated like this!’


  "Mn, as you wish, senior brother~ " Xi Xue laughed out loud and hugged the girl tighter, inhaling her scent to his heart content.

  The guy buried his head on Bíng Huo’s neck and sighed.

  ’I don’t know why but I’m so comfortable around her. This is new.’ Xi Xue mulled over the matter. ’Usually, I hate humans. Even I hate the mistress when I first met her. But this girl……’


  Xi Xue glanced at Bíng Huo’s side face and chuckled.

  "Senior brother, I can hug you like this, right?" Xi Xue teased.

  "Ugh, actually, no." Bíng Huo bit her lips. "We will look like a gay couple but-"

  "But?"

  "……just this time." Bíng Huo had the urge to cry.

  ’Please, let me arrive faster!!’


  Bíng Huo’s wish was granted. 10 minutes later, the owl descended at the foot of the mountain.

  "Oh, we are here?" Xi Xue tilted his head and slowly released Bíng Huo. He didn’t say anything and just got off, leaving her alone on top of her owl.

  !

  "Hey, what about me, ah!" Bíng Huo cursed and was about to jump down when Xi Xue opened his arms wide.

  "Here, senior brother, jump."

  ??

  "What are you-"

  "I will catch you." Xi Xue snickered and a sly smile was plastered on his face. He looked like a cunning wolf waiting for its prey.

  Seeing this, Bíng Huo’s face flushed red.

  ’This man!! He is making fun of me!’ Bíng Huo harrumphed and ignored Xi Xue. She jumped to the ground but not to the guy’s direction, leaving his arm empty.

  "Ah?" Xi Xue looked at the girl walking away from him and sighed. "Senior brother is not cute."

  "And who wants to be cute??" Bíng Huo kicked the ground and suddenly spoke in a serious voice, "We are already at the ice eagle den. See that cave inside the mountain?"

  She pointed at a large cave positioned right in the middle of the mountain, looking like a tall castle with no way in or out.

  "……uh oh……don’t we need to fly again?" Xi Xue sounded his concern.

  "Well, sadly she won’t allow any flying-type beast to fly around her house so nope. We either climb this or jump up."

  ?? Climb this super tall mountain??
