1326 Chapter 13 Xi Xue Love Story
’Usually, a beast hunter doesn’t care if the beast they got is injured or not.’ Xi Xue furrowed his eyebrows.
’Not to mention most beast tamer will at least inflict pain or wound to the beast they are taming. Only people like my mistress is special...’
Xi Xue took a deep breath and spoke, "Old man I don’t know why you don’t want to harm these beasts when you caught them in the first place."
Xi Xue’s words started Bíng Huo. The girl looked at her grandpa with worried eyes.
’Xi Xue looks close to beasts in general. Could it be he hate this?’ She couldn’t help but think so.
Hearing this, the old man only chuckled and replied, "I catch these beasts to strengthen my academy. But..." he paused, "I don’t want to harm them. That’s why there aren’t many beasts we tamed up until now."
The old man rubbed his beard as his eyes turned gentle. "Our academy is protected by a sacred beast, an ice eagle," He suddenly spoke.
"Ice eagle?" Xi Xue squinted.
’Isn’t this the one I want to pursue as my wife?’
"Yes, and we don’t tame her. She just loves our mountain and wants to live there. In return, she protects our academy." The old man nodded.
"This is why I don’t want to harm any beasts as our protector is also a beast."
Xi Xue was taken aback. The young man lowered his head and went silent for a few seconds.
’This old man seems nice.’ The young man glanced at the headmaster and finally sighed. "I’ll try my best to tame them without harming them."
’That’s my purpose from the start anyway.’
"You can do it?" The headmaster gasped. His eyes widened in disbelief.
’I was just trying to scare this young man but he said he can??’
The old man immediately nodded in excitement, "Go ahead! If you did it, not only I’ll admit you to the academy, I’ll also pay you for it."
’Wow, what a fair deal.’ Xi Xue chuckled. ’But I don’t need his money. I just need a wife.’ Xi Xue whistled as he approached the cage.
"Can you open the cage?" he suddenly asked without looking back.
!
"What?! That’s dangerous! Beast tamer usually tame a beast inside a cage, ah!" The old man instantly refused but then Bíng Huo pulled his arm.
"Grandpa, Xi Xue is not a norm beast tamer, " she whispered.
The old man tilted his head. "What do you mean?"
"You see my owl?" Bíng Huo pointed at the white owl on her shoulder. "He is tamed outside a cage."
!
"What? I thought you guys caught it first-"
"No. Xi Xue just called several high-ranked beasts and let me choose. He then tamed this owl on the spot!"
The old man wobbled. His face turned pale but his eyes were shining brightly. "H-he can do that?"
"Yes! Also, he speaks to those beasts. He can speak the beast language!" Bíng Huo grinned, looking proud while introducing Xi Xue.
Hearing this, the old man covered his mouth. He looked at Xi Xue who was waiting for an answer and sighed.
"Open the cage." The old man waved his hand and the array protecting the cage disappeared. The cage itself suddenly opened, making all 10 beasts dashed out of the cage.
ROAAAAR. KAAAK!! GRRRR.
A flying-type beast, an omnivore mammal beast, a reptile, a herbivore, a carnivore, all type of beasts ran toward Xi Xue while roaring loudly.
Their roar pierced the sky, the way they run shook the ground. Dust flew everywhere and Xi Xue sight was instantly covered by it.
"Young man, be careful!" the old man warned as he stood in front of his granddaughter, ready to create an array to protect her.
Xi Xue only nodded and slowly released his sacred beast pressure in a small range so it didn’t reach the old man’s place.
!
Sensing the aura, all the beasts suddenly stopped charging toward him. They simultaneously fell on their knees and became docile.
[My lord!] All of them spoke at the same time.
’A sacred beast! Our leader!’ All the beasts’ eyes brightened. They looked as if they had found their lost hope when Xi Xue suddenly spoke,
[So...I am here to tame you guys. Will you make amend with human and go make a contract with them?]
The beasts jaw dropped to the floor. They looked at each other with wide eyes. [My lord what are you saying?] One of the beasts spoke up.
It shivered, looking fearful.
[Well, you guys will be human’s contracted beast but I’ll make sure it’s an equal contract.] Xi Xue continued. [If you guys die, they will also die. How is it?]
The beasts gasped once again.
’But we thought you are here to release us, ah!’
[Oh right, if you think why I don’t just release you guys...] Xi Xue suddenly spoke. [You think if I release you, you won’t get caught again next time?]
Xi Xue words stabbed their heart. They lowered their head and mumbled, [If we aren’t caught alive, we will be killed. Either those two...]
[See? That’s why I suggest you to just make a contract with humans and get an equal contract.] Xi Xue shrugged.
[If you don’t accept, others might forcefully tame you and make you get a slave contract.] Xi Xue squinted.
’I can’t be sure they will get a good master like my mistress.’
The beasts fell silent. ’What our lord said is true...’
They started to hesitate. The beasts’ eyes darted around as they contemplated things.
’Should we accept or not?’
