Hearing Bíng Huo's question, Xi Xue stiffened as his real age was really unlike his youthful appearance.
"...I…" Xi Xue gulped hard and took a deep breath. He looked at Bíng Huo suspicious gaze and finally decided to say the truth.
"Listen. I know this might sound unbelievable but…" Xi Xue sighed. "I'm...actually a sacred beast." The man then removed his disguise, revealing his red eyes and black hair.
The moment his words dropped, silence filled the room. Bíng Huo stared at Xi Xue in blank eyes. Her body froze as if someone pressed a pause button.
BA-THUMP.
'Red eyes...black...hair?'
Bíng Huo's breath stilled. Her chest pounded hard.
"A sacred...beast? You?" Bíng Huo shifted back while tightening the grip on Xi Xue's blanket. Fear and anxiety were reflected in her eyes.
"No- no way. No, there's no way…" Bíng Huo kept mumbling as she looked at Xi Xue in horror.
