Lower realm" Xi Xue looked at the vast forest and cities down there and inhaled deeply. "I'm back!" The young man descended down from the air straight to the ground.

"Let's see, this should be the entrance of the lower realm." Xi Xue mumbled as he looked around.

He had to go to Sui He continent to attend Dong Xi Academy.

Knowing this, Xi Xue started to run and dashed toward Sui He continent. It took him a few days to get there but the man himself didn't feel burdened by it.

Once he entered the continent, the young man decided to collect more information about Dong Xi academy. He had to know how to get there after all.

"Ah, so the entrance exam will be held once a year and coincidentally it will be held tomorrow?" Xi Xue nodded, repeating what a passing merchant said.

Dong Xi Academy was so popular here that even a merchant knew about their entrance exam.

"Yes. You should go there at 6 a.m tomorrow as they will start the first test." The merchant smiled.

"I have to go now. Good luck little brother!" Waving his hand at Xi Xue, the merchant walked away leaving the little vampire behind.

"Tomorrow" Xi Xue looked at the direction of Dong Xi Academy and contemplated for a while.

Should he sleep around the academy or somewhere else?

"...academy is better." The man finally decided to go to the inn around the academy.

------

"What?? No more room??" Xi Xue slammed the wooden table, almost making the innkeeper peed his pants.

"Y-yes, young master. Tomorrow is the first day of Dong Xi Academy entrance exam so-"

"Damn it." Xi Xue turned around with a swoosh and left the inn without waiting for the innkeeper explanation.

This was the tenth inn he visited and said that the room there were all booked. The Dong Xi Academy entrance exam was really that popular until all inn near the academy were fully booked.

If it's like this...

"Where do I sleep ah??" Xi Xue scratched his head, frustrated. He bites his fingernail for a second before reluctantly decided to sleep at the forest.

There was a forest near the academy. It was a small forest used by the mercenary to pick up herbs and such. Of course, there were beasts as well so people would also hunt there.

"Let's try that forest." Xi Xue mumbled, walking to the forest as the sun began to set and night would soon take over.

Just like any other forest, this forest was really ordinary. Compared to the weird forest Xi Xue had visited while accompanying Li Shi Ying, this small forest looked like his back garden instead.

"Is there a cave" Xi Xue the little bat in disguise instantly felt the need to find a cave.

If he had to sleep outdoor, he preferred sleeping inside a cave and turned into his original form to relax.

"Maybe that way?" Xi Xue had just about to walk further when he heard noises of humans talking not far from his place.

"Hey, this wolf is mine! My trap killed it." A youthful voice of a young man sounded. It sounded a bit childish.

"No, I shot it to death with my arrow!" A deep young man voice refuted. His voice was much heavier and deeper than the other young man.

"But it was dead because of my trap! My friends here can be my witnesses, right?"

"Right, right, we saw Qiqi poisonous trap caught this wolf."

"Ha! It wasn't dead yet until I shot it with my arrow." The young man with a bun snorted.

He insisted that his arrow was the one killing the high-ranked wolf. One could see an arrow pierced through its chest yet it was also trapped inside a greenish net.

Both sides claimed the prey to be theirs.

Xi Xue actually wanted to quickly go find a cave before the sunset but stumbling upon this incident, his curiosity was piqued.

With him being a carefree little vampire, the young man decided to take a look.

Xi Xue snuck and hide behind a tree before poking his head. His bloody red eyes twinkled like a child getting a new toy.

'Fighting over a measly red stage high-ranked beast? That's the weakest of a high-ranked beast!'

Xi Xue rubbed his chin yet seeing the one claiming to kill it were two young men around 18, he was a bit taken aback.

A high ranked beast was hard to kill as its cultivation was on par with average adult cultivation. Now two teenagers claimed to be the one killing the wolf?

"Interesting." Xi Xue licked his lips and decided to come out.

"Yo, what's going on here?" The man jumped and waved to the group of people, out of the blue.

The young men surrounding the wolf simultaneously looked his way with eyes widened in shock.

"Who are you?!" The 'young man' with a high-pitched voice shouted. He instantly drew his sword, ready to attack Xi Xue.

The vampire himself was as shocked as the young men.

His eyes shook as he looked at the young man holding a sword. He was the one claiming to trap the wolf with his net.

'Isn't this guy...a girl?' Xi Xue blinked in confusion. It's clear that the girl hides her true gender by dressing up as a man but how come no one knew this?

Her so-called friends didn't know?

Xi Xue scanned the girl from head to toe. Long ice blue hair touching her but tied in a ponytail. A pair of sapphire eyes, beautiful like a jewel.

That reddish lips resembling a ripe apple.

This...is obviously a girl! How the heck??
