Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Suddenly before walking away he turned around and looked seriously at her.
'Something is not right! ' The expression on her face, although it was serene he felt something was wrong with it. It seemed a little pained. After thinking it through for a moment, He used A.I.Chip to scan and search in the database, He was surprised by the results and finally he decided to walk towards her.
"Who!?" Xiao Ning'er suddenly opens her eyes, and frailly shouted, while retrieving a short dagger. She warily looked at Nie Li.
"I'm Nie Li!" Nie Li said. Although he has never talked with Xiao Ning'er, They are still in the same class so she knows about this seemingly 'not so important' nobel.
Xiao Ning'er put down her short dagger, but still kept her guard up as she looked at Nie Li and said, "What are you doing here?"
Nie Li faintly smiled, "Just hanging around here. You?"
"I'm here to train my soul force," Xiao Ning'er said, looking at Nie Li through the moonlight. Nie Li's eyebrows were sharp. He had a bit of handsomeness, oddly even through he was smiling there was no trace of emotions in his eyes.
Nie Li shrugged his shoulders, showing no signs of talking any further.
"You're lying. Don't think I don't know. During these last few days, you guys have been the ones killing those Horned Sheep," Xiao Ning'er said. She had already seen Nie Li's group of three, but she didn't take any initiative to greet them. What Xiao Ning'er was curious about was something that Nie Lie's group smeared onto the bolts that was able to take down a Horned Sheep with one bolt, but she wouldn't take the initiative to ask other people's secrets.
"Why does it matter if I am lying or not? I have no obligation to explain myself to you. " Nie Li said, looking at Xiao Ning'er.
"I'm going to continue practicing!" Xiao Ning'er coldly stated as she stared at Nie Li with her bright, clear eyes. The way that Nei Li talked to her, pissed her off. Although she doesn't care for fawning people, no boy has ever been this unfazed while conversing with her.
Xiao Ning'er didn't like being disrupted by others. She had an expression that 'pushed people thousands of miles away' on her face, and because she rarely associated with the students in class, especially the boys, the friendless her seemed somewhat eccentric.
"I would leave but I think, you don't want that!" Nie Li said as he faintly smiled. He checked her out from top to bottom.
Xiao Ning'er's brows wrinkled. She couldn't help feeling somewhat angry. There were lots of boys chasing after her in the Holy Orchid Institute, but Xiao Ning'er had always ignored them. She only wants to focus on her training. Therefore, Nie Li's actions right now was no different from the other boys in the institute. It was simply hateful!
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ning'er wasn't happy by her tone. Nie Li had been disrupting her for quite some time now.
Nie Li's gaze landed on Xiao Ning'er's legs. She wasn't wearing any shoes, and he could see a pair of creamy slender legs illuminated by the moonlight, which were slightly red.
He said, " Don't you think that the pain is too much? or by any chance do you enjoy it ?" Before Xuao Ninger could explode on him, he continued "Do both of your legs feel as if they were being burned by fire and your body would be extremely cold. Every night at midnight it would feel as if it was hailing on your body. It would be terribly painful. Even training your soul force wouldn't be possible, would it"
After hearing what Nie Li just said, Xiao Ning'er was slightly stunned and soon answered, "How did you know?"
Nie Li smiled, " I know not only of this but also the reason behind this, as well as the remedy. It's not a question of how I know, but rather how much I do and what help could it be to you?"
Xiao Ning'er was shocked by Nie Li's words. She had been enduring the pain alone and did not tell anyone about this, not even her family members. How did Nie Li know about it?
Nei li looked at her, and saw that he need to push a little more in order to break her already fragile defense. " If you are suffering from what I think you are, then your body should be bruised in certain areas. Those bruises should be extremely painful and not only do they not dissipate, they should also be spreading around the body, " Nie Li said confidently, "You haven't stepped into 1-star Bronze rank, and you should thank your lucky stars for that because most probably you will die once you do"
After hearing Nie Li's words, Xiao Ning'er was momentarily dazed. Both of her fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes reddened. How could this be? Even though she's very strong, after hearing the news, she couldn't endure the blow. Nie Li could tell what her illness was with one glance. What he said shouldn't be wrong.
Ever since she was young, her family had been wanting for her to marry into the Sacred Family, by marrying Shen Fei. As she grew up, Xiao Ning'er gradually learned what kind of person Shen Fei was. Because she didn't want to get married to that playboy, she started practicing very hard with hopes of getting rid of this cruel fate. Unfortunately, the heavens didn't seem to want to let her do so, since she who would soon reach 1-star Bronze rank, suddenly got to hear such news.
Seeing the usually cold and strong Xiao Ning'er in this state, Nie Li couldn't help pitying her but he still maintained his neutral face.
"Nie Li, since you know what kind of illness I have, you should know how to treat it, right?" asked Xiao Ning'er. Frightened by what Nie Li said, she unknowingly dropped her strong guard that she had up against him and pleaded, "Can you help me?"
She was, after all, only a thirteen year old girl.
Nei li looked at her, His gaze remaining unfazed, and in an emotionless voice he said " Of course I can help you, but you shouldn't be asking that, your question should be: will I help you?"
Xiao Ninger visually shivered at his statement, that clearly hinted that the solution will come at a price.
Before she could ask Nei Li clarified, " The answer is simple really: I will most definitely help you but at a price, you see I don't know you and have no reason to help you otherwise. If we established a deal it be a great help to me and also something which will not weigh on your conscience. "
Xiao Ninger looked at him, Her gaze turning a little steady, She understood the meaning behind his words and thought that his reasoning is absolutely correct. In fact she even respected him a little now, He unlike other guys who will jump at a chance to impress her, said what he wanted upfront.
She also felt a weird frustration from his words because unconsciously she wanted someone to lean on and desired that Nei Li was different and she could maybe trust him but was rudely made aware of the reality, even she herself didn't understood her feelings.
"What do you want? I am willing, I will also owe you a favor and do whatever you want unless it doesn't cross a line!" Xiao Ninger stated.
Nei li smiled but shook his head too, as if declining her, " It would be my honor to be your friend but what I want is not a favor, I want Profits. I want Demon spirits coin"
" I will tell you about this disease, it's name, reason, treatment as well as my source of information about it, for a price. Tell me your offer?" said Nei li as sat down on the grasses and started to gaze at the moon.
Xiao Ninger was stunned at his straight forwardness but was well aware of how hard it is for normal families to get resources and their lack of capital.
Anyone else would have scoffed at him and called him greedy but Xiao Ninger respected this attitude. He has obtained an information that can be helpful to other and wanted to establish grounds for a fair trade, if he wanted he could extort her for it but she feels that he would agree on whatever she could provide as long as she is able to and not lying.
" I will be honest with you, I have a hundred thousands demon spirit coins on me and I am willing to offer it all if you can help me!" Although Xiao Ning'er's family is slightly declining, it's still one of the aristocratic families. Xiao Ning'er, as one of it's members as well as having extraordinary talent, hasn't lacked money. She usually doesn't spend any money, so having saved all her money, she has accumulated hundred thousands demon spirit coins.
