"Eh? A sacred beast meeting?" Bng Huo gulped. The girl swayed her legs as she sat on the bed.

"Yes. It will be held tomorrow, at the ice eagle cave." Xi Xue nodded. He approached the girl and sat down behind her. Xi Xue didn't wait before he hugged Bng Huo from behind and snuggled to her neck.

Seeing Xi Xue's attitude, Bng Huo couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head and patted Xi Xue's head on her neck.

"Why do you look so gloomy? I won't be mad, okay? Just go."

"No, it's not that..." Xi Xue rubbed his cheek to Bng Huo's neck before sighing deeply. "For this meeting...I want you to come with me."

"What??" Bng Huo was so shocked that she moved her head, and it almost bumped into Xi Xue's head on her shoulder. The girl hurriedly wriggled and faced Xi Xue, still in his embrace.

"What did you say? I'll also follow you?" She continued.

"Mn. What's wrong? You don't like it?" Xi Xue tilted his head. His arms around Bng Huo's waist tightened.

"N-no, but... I'm not a sacred beast, you know? Is it okay for me to go?" Bng Huo's heart pounded hard. The girl looked up at Xi Xue with a worried face.

'I'm not even a sacred beast, ah!'

"Well, the meeting is open for the sacred beast's spouse as well. The ice eagle said that any sacred beast that already has a spouse could bring their spouse along."

Xi Xue casually kissed Bng Huo's head and stroked the girl's back. Now that both of them were legally married according to the humans' custom as well, he became even more touchy than before.

"Hoo...I just know..." Bng Huo mumbled. She lowered her head for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth.

"Then...what is the meeting about? I only need to accompany you and sit next to you, right?"

"Mmm..." The smile on Xi Xue's face slowly vanished. The young man paused his fingers movement before slowly twirling Bng Huo's hair again.

"You will sit with me, but I think I'll cast a soundproof barrier around you."

"Eh, why?" Bng Huo's eyes widened. The girl looked up at Xi Xue only to see the guy had a grim face.

"Because the content of the meeting is confidential. That's why I think.it's better if you don't know." Xi Xue's voice was hoarse as he spoke so.

From the tone alone, Bng Huo sensed that something was not right. She wanted to ask Xi Xue, but the vampire shook his head.

"The meeting is an emergency meeting. I don't think I want you to know the content. It might be dangerous and unsettling" Xi Xue gently wrapped his finger with Bng Huo's silky hair.

The man then played with the girl's hair as he continued to talk in a bleak tone. "I'm sorry...but you will understand, right?"

The fierce little vampire now looked like a meek lamb in front of his wife.

Seeing Xi Xue's apologetic face, Bng Huo giggled. The girl smiled and nodded. "I know. I'll try not to disturb you and your meeting."

'If Xi Xue said that it's dangerous for me, then I should listen to him.'

Bng Huo didn't want to get involved with anything dangerous. The fact that Xi Xue brought her to the meeting alone was already a good thing for her.

"Ah, right, I'm curious. The sacred beast attending the meeting...how many will there be?" Bng Huo snuggled deeper to Xi Xue's embrace as she placed her head on the guy's sturdy chest.

"Hmmm...maybe around 20 people all around the world, but the one attending are those close to our place. So...5 people? Plus my friends in the higher realm."

Xi Xue spoke casually, but his last sentence made Bng Huo fall silent. The girl's jaw dropped as she hit Xi Xue's chest lightly.

"What did you say? Your friends at the...higher realm?" The girl's face turned pale. She knew that only mythological beasts resided in the higher realm.

So...could it be Xi Xue's friends were

As if knowing what the girl was thinking about, Xi Xue hurriedly answered to avoid misunderstanding.

"Ah, my friends are sacred beasts like me, but they are contracted to the wife of the late dragon emperor"

Xi Xue's eyes still looked calm as he explained, but his next sentence caught Bng Huo unguarded.

"I am also a contracted beast of the late dragon race's empress. So...they are like my colleagues?"

.

"Colleagues? Contracted to the dragon race's previous empress?" Bng Huo mumbled as her eyes turned white. Even though she lived in the lower realm, it didn't mean she didn't know the history of the higher empire.

Especially regarding the dragon race's first human empress, the empress before this generation's empress.

Why would she know? Of course, because that empress was once a student of this academy! That student's husband, the previous emperor, was also once a student of this academy.

"A-are you talking about senior Li Shi Ying and senior Long Ao Zhen? The alumnus of this academy?" Bng Huo cautiously asked. Her voice was trembling as she asked.

"Ah? Yeah! You know a lot about the higher realm, huh?" Xi Xue nodded excitedly. He then hugged Bng Huo tighter as he spoke,

"I am a contracted beast of that Li Shi Ying. I mean...was a contracted beast. She severed our contracts before she disappeared." Xi Xue sighed.

'Yeah, I am now no longer her majesty's contacted beast, right?'
