426 An old demon
Xiao XiRan tried to remember when he started to feel afraid of Mo YuMin. It was when his big brother killed a Hùnxiě hunter when he was almost thirteen years old.
Yes! How can Xiao XiRan forget that day? It was when a mixed blood hunter discovered about Xiao FengYun being a half blood demon.
Xiao FengYun was turning nine years old at that time. Blaming himself about what happened to YuYan in the lake, he was always out of control.
Worse, Mo YuMin is not far brutal than YuYan when it comes to an interrogation while he was protecting their baby sister from the assassins that came from nowhere.
With his recollection of Mo YuMin's brutality, Xiao XiRan holds his face with both of his hands. Tapping it to wake himself from those frightening ideas.
'F*ck why do I feel like a frightened cat?! This is not me!! He is just an old demon.. Just an old demon..' Xiao XiRan said on his thoughts.
But his hand subconsciously holds his chest; trying to calm his panicking heart. Xiao XiRan can feel his pumping heart that seems about to explode.
Xiao XiRan took a deep breath then tried to convince himself while he mumbled. "He is not scary.. My baby would surely be afraid of him if he looks scary... Right?"
He forced a smile and nodded his head while he keeps on mumbling. "Uh-huh.. Grandfather is not scary.. I'm just thinking too much.."
With hesitation, Xiao XiRan clenched his fist and took another deep breath. He slowly raised his shaking hand but paused in the air for a couple of minutes before he finally knocked.
'This is f*cking scary.. Come on XiRan, don't let your tail hide behind you..' Xiao XiRan said on his thoughts while waiting for a response inside the study room.
It took a couple of seconds when he heard an old man's voice saying. "Come in" But it sounded cold, like a big bell that rang on a closed room.
"What the f*ck?!" Xiao XiRan subconsciously cursed behind his breath while he said in his mind. 'What the hell is wrong with his voice?! It sounded like a monster!'
Xiao XiRan's panicking heart almost jump out from his chest, but he took a deep breath while his trembling hand was slowly reaching the door knob.
He didn't open the door right away, but Xiao XiRan cleared his throat and finally twisted the door knob; slowly pushing the door to reveal what's waiting for him.
His eyes were not fixed due to his nervousness, but after Xiao XiRan stepped in and closed the door; the two old men turned their head to look at him.
Looking at the two old men, Xiao XiRan can only guess that his grandfather was the one sitting on the desk. On his mind. 'It must be him..'
Scrutinizing the old man's appearance; He has a long silver hair and scarlet eyes; his face looks kind and attractive, despite his old age.
'Ugh.. Not scary at all..' Xiao XiRan blinked his eyes while he keeps on talking inside his mind. 'I didn't expect him to look this way.. Mother looked like him a lot..'
'He looked good.. No wonder mother looked like a goddess, but what about grandma? I wonder how she looked like..' Xiao XiRan said on his thoughts.
Xiao XiRan did not expect that his grandfather was far from what he imagined. The idea of a scary demon on his mind instantly shattered into pieces.
At the same moment, Xiao XiRan wanted to knock himself for thinking too much, while he felt stupid for being so nervous to meet his grandfather.
Staring at his grandfather's face, there was a sigh of relief on his heart, but Xiao XiRan felt curious why would his mother feel afraid of Mo Yao Wang.
Nevertheless, Xiao Xiran continued to calm his pumping heart as he said on his thoughts. 'He doesn't look scary.. Just a regular old man..'
