"That kind of vampire you know is the old generation." Xi Xue shrugged. "The new generation is immune to sunlight and garlic. But we still fear the cross."

  Xi Xue explained his weakness without worrying the girl would use it against him. Listening to the man’s explanation, Bíng Huo felt her heart turn warm.

  "……is it okay for you to tell me this?" The girl fidgeted. "Aren’t those……a secret?"

  "It’s widely known to several people so not really a secret." Xi Xue shook his head. "Anyway, talking about my weakness……are you not afraid of me?"

  The man put his hands on the door behind Bíng Huo, doing ’kabedon’ to her but the girl didn’t even flinch.

  "……do you suck human’s blood too?" Bíng Huo tilted her head. She could feel Xi Xue’s warm breath hitting her forehead yet the girl refused to budge.

  ’The more I struggle, the more Xi Xue will enjoy it. I’m sure!’


  "I do. In fact, I’m so tempted to suck your blood right now." Xi Xue licked his lips and showed his pair of fangs. His eyes flashed in a dangerous light.

  "But……" the man’s face inched closer to Bíng Huo and stopped a few inches away from her face. "I’ll do so only when you allow me." Xi Xue touched Bíng Huo’s nose with his nose before he retracted his face real fast.

  The girl’s face was already as red as a ripe apple. Her body shook, her expression wasn’t good. It’s clear that she was shocked by the man’s flirting but she didn’t react strongly.

  "The next time you come closer to me in less than a meter……" Bíng Huo clenched her fists. "I will act as if I never know you." The girl then shoved Xi Xue away and went to the man’s bed.

  !

  Xi Xue’s jaw dropped to the floor. He gaped in disbelief. The man hurriedly turned around to see the girl sit on his bed.

  ’She……can threaten me now? But she was so scared I might kill her before?’


  The man felt an electrical sensation flowing through his veins. His blood was boiling and his heart throbbed. It was a painful yet sweet feeling.

  "Uh, you are so bold now." Xi Xue awkwardly laughed as he approached his bed. "I remember just yesterday you were screaming and crying, begging me not to kill you." Xi Xue sat on the edge of his bed.

  He looked at Bíng Huo with a mocking smile. "How come you change your attitude so fast?"

  ’I know she’s a brave girl but to think she can threaten a vampire now. She’s either foolish or just……cute.’


  Hearing the man mentioned yesterday’s incident, Bíng Huo blushed. She waved her hand. "That’s because I was shocked ah! Your eyes suddenly turned red and and- " The girl gulped.

  "I thought you would kill me since I irritated you, " Bíng Huo murmured in a small voice.

  "……so you now think I won’t kill you?" Xi Xue tilted his head. He approached Bíng Huo closer than before.

  "You already took that oath. Why would I fear you?" Bíng Huo snorted as she looked at the guy with a weird expression.

  "I just don’t understand why you need to make that oath. I’m a human you know? Shouldn’t your kind despise me?"

  Xi Xue didn’t immediately answer. He just shifted over to the girl and once he was right beside her, he hugged her from behind, startling her.

  "Hey- "

  "Because I want you to believe me. I don’t want you to be scared of me." Xi Xue rubbed his cheek to Bíng Huo’s nape. The vampire tightened his grip around the girl’s waist.

  Bíng Huo suddenly didn’t want to struggle. She just zipped her mouth and closed her eyes, allowing the guy to hug her.

  "……you are too kind. You don’t need to be liked by a human like me." Bíng Huo sighed and patted Xi Xue’s head resting on her shoulder.

  ’Maybe he’s lonely and thus wants to be friends with a human? But of course, humans will run away once they know he is a sacred beast.’


  The thought led to Bíng Huo imagining Xi Xue’s lonely back. Under the moonlight, the vampire wandered aimlessly, not having someone by his side.

  ’Is this why he is so touchy and spoiled? He always acts like this around me.’


  Bíng Huo continued to stroke Xi Xue’s head.

  ’Maybe because I’m his first friend and he’s desperate not to make me fear him. He even recklessly made that oath, ughhh.’


  Getting patted like that, Xi Xue just enjoyed it. He snuggled to the girl’s neck and grinned.

  ’Now she receives my hug. Maybe next time I can sleep with her in this form?’


  A hint of desire flashed through the man’s red eyes but he suppressed it really well.

  ’No, no, I can’t scare her away. Better lure her bit by bit until she allows me to suck her blood and maybe……mate with her?’


  Just the thought of mating with the girl in front of him made his blood boil. His little thing down there hardened, almost poking the girl’s back if not for the guy controlling his own blood.

  ’Calm down, not the time.’


  Xi Xue slowly released Bíng Huo and shifted away from her. "Now you also allow me to hug you? I’m flattered." The guy smiled sweetly.

  Bíng Huo paused. She tucked her hair behind her ear and mumbled, "It’s because you look lonely, you idiot."

  "Ah right. I forgot. Should we go now? To the town." Xi Xue suddenly clapped his hand and stood up. The bed creaked.

  Eh……to the town? Just the two of us?
