"Who are you?" The ice eagle lifted her chin arrogantly while staying calm. She didn't even. get angry at the two people barging to her place.

"A-ah. Greetings, milady, " Bng Huo hurriedly bowed and cupped her hand respectfully. "I-i"

"That old man's granddaughter?" The ice eagle cool voice sounded. She raised an eyebrow while shifting her leg position. Still crossing it anyway.

"Y-yes!" Bng Huo nodded. On the other hand, Xi Xue just kept silent while staring at the ice eagle.

'So this is the ice eagle. She's really pretty but cold at the same time.'

Xi Xue scanned the woman from head to toe and somehow sighed.

'She is perfect to be my wife but...I don't know. I don't think she will be interesting.'

Noticing Xi Xue's gaze on her, the ice eagle frowned. She cast a glance at Xi Xue and her expression instantly changed.

The woman was a bit taken aback. She gawked at Xi Xue in silence.

'This young man...isn't he a sacred beast? What is he doing here?'

"This young man" The ice eagle looked at Bng Huo for an answer. "Is he new?"

"Ah, yes, milady. He just enrolled today so I bring him to meet you, " the girl answered sheepishly. "He's also an elite student."

"Mmm.a student." The ice eagle nodded but then she suddenly snapped her finger and Bng Huo felt everything around her turned blurry.

?!

The girl wobbled. Her conscious left her body and she instantly fell to the ground.

!

"Bng Huo!" Xi Xue shouted as he grabbed the girl's waist, catching her in time before she hit the ground.

His heart beats fast. The guy felt like the world was crumbling but then he checked the girl and she was still breathing. Her chest went up and down in constant rhythm.

Seeing the girl was only fast asleep, Xi Xue sighed in relief. His heart almost stopped beating for a second back then but now he was calm, he looked up at the ice eagle on her throne.

The young man glared at the woman and shouted, "What did you do?!"

'She suddenly makes Bng Huo fall asleep? Why??'

"Calm down." The ice eagle laughed. "No need to get so agitated. I just put her to sleep."

"I know that but why?" Xi Xue gritted his teeth. His sacred beast aura slowly burst out and the smell of blood lingered in the air.

The young man's fangs popped out and his eyes turned red. He gawked at the ice eagle with eyes full of malice.

"Oh. No need to threaten me like that." The ice eagle raised an eyebrow and sighed. "I just want to talk to you, fellow sacred beast. That's why she needs to sleep."

The woman giggled. "You don't want her to know you are a sacred beast, right?"

"...you already know I'm a sacred beast?" Xi Xue snorted. "Then what do you want? Interrogate me?"

"Wow, that's an accusation." The ice eagle calmly shook her head. "I just wonder why a sacred beast pretends to be a human and enter this Academy?"

Her tone of voice suddenly became grave. "Do you have any hidden intention toward this Academy?" The ice eagle's eyes narrowed. The woman looked at Xi Xue as if he was a threat.

Seeing this, Xi Xue paused a bit and laughed. He tightened the grip on Bng Huo's waist. "I come here to meet you."

Xi Xue's answer startled the woman. She looked at Xi Xue with confusion. "Why? What's your business with me?"

"I'm searching for a wife and I thought you will be a good candidate." Xi Xue shrugged, answering as honest as he could.

The ice eagle was once again taken aback. Her mouth gaped. She clutched her throne armrest tightly before speaking,

"You, a rare kind of sacred beast is searching for a wife?" The woman snorted. "And so you find me? Ha, so what is your thought about me now you see me?"

"....pretty. But I don't like you." Xi Xue sneered. "You are too arrogant."

"Heh, don't tell me only men can be arrogant?" The ice eagle touched her forehead and laughed in a taunting tone.

"I have decided to be single all my life. I'd rather be this school protector than marrying those weak beasts, " she added.

Xi Xue was silent for a few seconds. "I know you are strong. Stronger than other sacred beasts in this area." Xi Xue nodded. "But that doesn't mean I'm weaker than you."

"I know you are strong. So? You still want to make me your wife?" The ice eagle tapped her armrests and propped her chin.

"No. I change my mind after meeting you." Xi Xue shook his head.

'This woman is no fun. She's too stiff and arrogant. I think only someone crazy will like her.'

Xi Xue sighed.

'Though all female sacred beasts are arrogant, this one is also cold. I don't like cold women.'

The young man looked down at Bng Huo and smirked.

'Though there are those like Ge Lifen being a love-slave for his wife that sphinx sacred beast.'

Seeing Xi Xue looked down at Bng Huo's sleeping face and somehow smiled, the ice eagle whistled.

"Oh, so your type is that human? Brave, tomboy but fun to tease?"

!

"What?" Xi Xue looked up. His eyes widened and his ears turned red. "What are you saying? She is a human!"

"And what's so bad about a human?" The ice eagle pricked her ear.

"How can a human reach my status?" Xi Xue snorted but then the ice eagle just mocked.

"You will regret that, dear."
