Wo Luo nodded, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips.
"Yes, I promise," he said. "We have an understanding with the "Celestial Realm" and every year, the prestigious RAD Academy accepts one exchange student from the Celestial Realm. It's not uncommon for us to have visitors from your world. So, don't be surprised or scared.
You are our responsibility, and we will make sure you are safe and well."
Aiyu wiped away her tears, her eyes widening as she realized the gravity of the situation. "Wait !! He said black blood humans?" she wandered to herself . "What does that mean?"
Aiyu gasped, her mind racing with thoughts of what might happen if she were to accidentally cut herself and reveal her red blood .
"So, you're saying that if any of you accidentally bit me or something, you would vanish???"
Wo Luo nodded solemnly. "That's correct. It's a heavy burden for us, but it's a necessary sacrifice to maintain the peace between our realms. We value our friendship and uphold the ancient agreement."
Aiyu's eyes softened, as her fear gradually turning into understanding. "I see," she whispered. "So, I'm safe as long as I don't reveal my red blood ? "
"You see, Aiyu," he began gently, "Otome Kingdom is also a place of refuge for cursed beings and supernatural creatures who seek solace from the darkness that plagues their own realm.
But it also means that many cursed devils, who are outside the protection layer, may approach you. Their requirement is the black blood of the celestial realm."
Aiyu shivered at the mention of cursed devils, images of dark figures and ominous shadows flickering in her imagination. "So, I am in danger here?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Wo Luo smiled reassuringly. "Fear not, Aiyu. You are our responsibility now, and we will protect you at any cost. But it is important that you do not break any rules here. As the punishments will be much harder for you, being a human."
Aiyu was about to ask about the duration of her stay when Ma Yun arrived again , his ethereal presence filling the room.
"Why are these humans so dumb?" Ma Yun interjected, startling Aiyu. "Of course, you will stay here for a year! And when you go back, you will return at the same time you came here. What a moron you are!"
Aiyu scrutinizes him from head to toe, baffled by his sudden appearance. "Where did he come from in the blink of an eye?" she mutters under her breath, irritation evident in her eye-rolling.
Ma Yun interrupts her, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Hey, what are you mumbling about me?"
