"Huh? What do you mean?" Xi Xue instantly furrowed his eyebrows. He patted Bíng Huo’s head and sighed.

"I don’t need anyone’s consent to marry you, okay? And like I said, my friends like you and approve of you. Why do you think they will dislike our marriage?"

"That...." Bíng Huo paused. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, not realising that the beasts around her could her their conversation loud and clear.

All of them secretly looked at Bíng Huo with a pitiful gaze.

’Alas, is she intimidated by me? But I didn’t do anything to scare her aside from battling her husband and said that she’s not that pretty...’

’....I’m sure I didn’t comment anything about this girl. I just scan her from head to toe and talk to Xi Xue for a bit...right?’

’Uh...is this because I don’t talk to her a lot? But my wife already drags me away, ah!’

’...is she scared because I didn’t talk much? I don’t know what to say to a human other than my princess...’

The four beasts made eye contact with each other, and they had tacit agreement in silence.

’We have to cheer up this girl!’

"Emm, big sis, I wonder when you meet Xi Xue?" Di Yu suddenly asked Bíng Huo with a smile on his face. He scratched his cheek and tried to tone down his voice as not to appear intimidating.

Bíng Huo abruptly opened her eyes. She looked at Di Yu with a shock in her eyes.

"Y-yes? Me?"

"Of course! Who else is Xi Xue’s wife here?" Di Yu nodded, and Qi Tou immediately chipped in.

"Right, I wonder how you tame this beast, lady. Xi Xue is so dangerous back then that we have to lock him up– "

"Are you trying to embarrass me in front of my wife??" Xi Xue shouted as his face turned crimson red. The guy immediately raised his hand and blocked Bíng Huo’s ears.

"Don’t listen to them! I am kind, a gentleman, and– "

"And a lunatic, troublemaker." Mian Xiang snorted. She looked at Bíng Huo’s back and giggled. "Yes, this human girl here...I pity you having to marry this walking disaster. I hope you can keep him on leash."

"Right, right. Or maybe– Xi Xue forced you to marry him?" Ge Lifen narrowed his eyes. He stared at Xi Xue’s side face with eyes full of suspicion.

"Oh, sh*t, you force her to marry you?? What a barbarian!" Di Yu slapped his thigh and clicked his tongue in disappointment. He then looked at Bíng Huo’s dumbfounded face with a gentle gaze.

"Big sis, if Xi Xue ever forces you, just tell us, okay? We can beat him to pulp."

"Di Yu, since when did you call sis-in-law your sister? Am I not your sister?" Mian Xiang grunted. The woman shook her head in dissatisfaction.

"Call her sis-in-law."

"Eh, but this barbarian vampire isn’t my brother? Why should I call her sis-in-law??" Di Yu puffed his cheeks and stomped his feet.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively and the stiff exchange before just melted.

Bíng Huo was flabbergasted. She eyed each of the beasts with teary eyes. It felt as if someone just lifted a heavy burden from her shoulder.

’Did I misunderstand them? They look so friendly...and they don’t seem like they dislike me...’

"See? They don’t hate you. In fact, maybe they think that I’m no match for you." Xi Xue shook his head as he secretly launched an attack using his blood control, targeting

Di Yu and Ge Lifen.

The young man still had scores to settle with these two. They had just mocked him in front of his wife! He would like to attack Mian Xiang too, but that would be a dead wish.

Seeing Xi Xue casually attacked his friends while chatting with her, Bíng Huo’s heart warmed up. The girl snuggled to Xi Xue’s neck and sighed.

"Thank you...I thought that your friends didn’t like me."

"Nah, maybe they are just surprised that I got married. No worries. I even married a human when back in the day, I hate humans." Xi Xue casually waved his hand, denying Bíng Huo’s assumption.

"Eh? You hated humans before?" Bíng Huo paused. She looked at Xi Xue’s red eyes with caution. "How the heck did you suddenly like one, then?"

’I never heard of this, ah!’

"Hmmm...ever since I met my mistress?" Xi Xue grinned. His smile looked as innocent as a boy, instantly mesmerizing Bíng Huo.

Though the effect only lasted for a second since Bíng Huo got conscious of the word ’mistress’

"Mistress?? Wait, did you have a second wife?? Or maybe– a first wife?! Then, I am the second wife??" Bíng Huo stared at Xi Xue with wide eyes. She almost punched Xi Xue straight to his face if the man didn’t explain soon.

"No, no, it’s not like that! Mistress is my master, you know?? The one contracting me as her contracted beast, ah! She is a human!" Xi Xue’s face paled as he explained in one breath.

The guy hugged Bíng Huo tightly, ignoring the gazes of the beasts around him. "Huo Huo, believe me, my wife is only you. I never had one before, and will never have any after!"

"Really?" Bíng Huo forgot the other beasts around her for a second. She just looked at Xi Xue with red eyes, feeling touched.

"Xue Xue..."

"Huo Huo..."

The two of them were about to kiss when Mian Xiang coughed out loud.

"Hohoho, surely you guys don’t forget we are here, right? Damn love birds."

The duo idiots: ...sh*t. We forgot.
