" Wait," Aiyu quipped with a mischievous grin. "You think it's romantic to be bitten by me?"
Ma Yun's face contorted into a comical expression as he realized that Aiyu had actually bitten Lu Xi Feng's hand. He had been so caught up in the moment that he hadn't noticed. But Aiyu's words snapped him back to reality.
"Hold on a second! A human biting a vampire? That's just plain bizarre!" Despite his surprise, Ma Yun didn't make a big fuss about it.
Ma Yun chuckled nervously, trying to comprehend the peculiar situation. He glanced down at his hand, where Aiyu had left her mark . Confusion clouded his deep blue and yellow gradient eyes as he tried to make sense of it all. How could a mere human, like Aiyu, have the audacity to bite a vampire?
Ma Yun couldn't comprehend why Xi Feng still did not order the execution of Aiyu. This situation was completely beyond his understanding. After all, they had been alive for decades, and Xi Feng had always despised the scent of humans, never getting this close to one before. The fact that he had even been bitten by this human was truly bizarre and unsettling.
Meanwhile Aiyu stood proudly next to Xi Feng, her arms folded defiantly and a smirk on her face.
With a dramatic flair, Xi Feng playfully swatted Aiyu on the head, exclaiming, "Enough of this nonsense, you two!" Aiyu winced , ouch !! and gingerly rubbed her throbbing head, shooting him a disapproving look. Undeterred, Xi Feng continued, addressing Ma Yun. "I have a task for you," he declared.
Ma Yun's curiosity piqued, he eagerly inquired with a raise of brows wandering what he had on his mind , "What is it?"
Xi Feng paused for a moment, feigning a cough and placing a hand over his mouth, before delivering his request with a solemn tone. "You must take care of this human for the duration of this year's session," he said.
Aiyu and Ma Yun exchanged bewildered looks as if they had just been smacked in the head with a thousand bricks. Their disbelief was palpable as they both blurted out, "No way!"
Still in a coughing fit , Xi Feng glanced back and forth between him and Aiyu. "Little lamb, if you manage to pass your exam at the end of the year, we won't have to see each other anymore. Only Ma Yun can lead you to success. Otherwise, Wo Luo will assign you back to me. So, you better listen to me."
Ma Yun playfully confronted Xi Feng upon realizing the situation. "Oh, so he assigned this human to you, Xi Feng gege? ( TL gege is brother in chinese) Well, this year I was lucky enough to be given a vacation," he sobbed sarcastically .
"If she passes the exam," Luxifeng suggested happily, "I will grant you a two-year vacation. You must also use your magic to assist her throughout her quest and ensure her safety. We must be careful not to let Wo Luo know that I assigned her to you, or he will devour us. Are we clear?"
Ma Yun rolled his eyes and scoffed, "You are always unpredictable, Xi Feng. This is your first time taking on a disciple, so there must be something special about her, don't you think?" Xi Feng scoffed back, "What can be special about this lamb?" Send her to the House of Desolation, ( TL the dormitory for students of Devildome.)"
