Chapter 22: Ice Phoenix

Nie Li sat down in front of Ye Ziyun.

“Ye Ziyun classmate, we met again.”Nie Li said, as he smiled faintly.

Nie Li had a kind of calm and self-confident temperament, boys of his age are far from him. But right now, Ye Ziyun doesn’t have any special affection for Nie Li, only a little curiosity as well as her heartfelt admiration for Nie Li.

Nie Li’s knowledge is indeed vast and profound, even Aunt Xue thought that Nie Li is an inscription master.

Nie Li’s altered inscription pattern was made into a scroll by Aunt Xue and it is indeed a silver ranked inscription pattern. Can you imagine the psychological impact Ye Ziyun felt finding out Nie Li even knows a silver ranked inscription pattern!

“Nie Li, I tested the inscription pattern when I got back, and it is indeed the completed version of <<Icy Wind, Sudden Snow>> inscription pattern!” Ye Ziyun said looking towards Nie Li.

But Nie Li’s face showed no prideful expression, he only replied with “oh”, for Nie Li this sort of thing isn’t something worthy to show off.

As a member of Snow Wind Family, although Ye Ziyun doesn’t show it but she is still a little prideful in her heart. When she thinks back, although Nie Li is talented, he has always been low-profile in class and never showed off his talents. Until Shen Xiu’s words angered him only then did he retort. In contrast, Ye Ziyun felt a little ashamed. Compared to Nie Li she really has nothing to show off.

At this moment, Ye Ziyun began admire Nie Li a little. Although it couldn’t go to the extent of liking him, but Nie Li has already been the only boy that she is willing to contact with.

But for Nie Li, this is already a big improvement.

“Nie Li, here is the soul crystal that you told me to bring.” Ye Ziyun brought out her Soul Crystal.

“Inject your soul force into the soul crystal!” Nie Li said, looking towards Ye Ziyun. In the previous life, Ye Ziyun have always been his woman, therefore he will not be stingy towards her.

After seeing the shape of Ye Ziyun’s soul, Nie Li gasped. He never thought that Ye Ziyun’s talent is even above of Xiao Ning’er’s. Her soul form were a mass of ice and within it, sleeps a phoenix.

This is the legendary Ice Phoenix’s soul shape.

One of the most powerful soul forms.

Ice Phoenix cultivation speed would be the same as Winged Dragon, but once stepping into Black Gold rank, the Ice Phoenix will hatch and the cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. Pity that in the previous life Ye Ziyun didn’t managed to reach the Black Gold Rank realm and died in battle. Otherwise Ye Ziyun will most likely become one of Glory City’s pillars.

“Snow Wind Attributes, Ice Phoenix soul form!” Nie Li raised his head looking at Ye Ziyun, his eyes contained full of excitement saying, “I’ll teach you a cultivation technique!”

“Teach me cultivation technique? What technique is it?” Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li in surprise. Her cultivation technique is already the strongest Snow Wind cultivation technique in the Snow Wind Family. Does Nie Li have a better cultivation technique than that?

Snow Wind Family is the number one family in Glory City. Even the Sacred Family and Divine Family cannot be compared to it, because Snow Wind Family has a legendary demon spiritist watching over it, the legendary figure Ye Mo! The various collections of Snow Wind Family isn’t that of ordinary person can imagine. Because Ye Mo loves to explore the Divine Continent, he explored ancient ruins in St. Ancestral Mountains, obtaining many powerful cultivation techniques and then translated them.

“Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique!” Nie Li imparted the chants and cultivation technique to Ye Ziyun. Although [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] isn’t the strongest technique that Ye Ziyun is able to practice but it is the most mysterious technique. Upon success in practising this technique, she would be able to have nine lives As long as the soul doesn’t get destroyed she can be revived.

In this life, Nie Li will not let Ye Ziyun leave him again!

Ye Ziyun chanted the technique for a few times silently. She was shocked to find how powerful this technique is! The techniques that Snow Wind Family has collected could not be compared to this!

“Thank you, Nie Li!” Ye Ziyun sincerely thanked him. It was a little unexpected that Nie Li actually impart such precious cultivation technique to her, after all they have just met.

In Ye Ziyun’s view she and Nie Li have just met for a while, but in Nie Li’s view he have already known Ye Ziyun far too long and in his heart. Ye Ziyun is already his woman therefore, a piece of [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] couldn’t be considered much.

Ye Ziyun started the [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] for awhile and her soul force in her soul realm started surging up violently. This cultivation technique is simply tailor-made for her!

Just as Nie Li and Ye Ziyun chatting away, a person walked towards the direction of them both, that person is Shen Yue.

Seeing Nie Li and Ye Ziyun happily chatting and the beautiful charming smile revealed on Ye Ziyun’s face. Shen Yue couldn’t suppress the jealousy inside his heart much longer and walk towards them from a distance away.

“Ziyun!” Shen Yue faintly smiled as he looked towards Ye Ziyun.

“En.” Ye Ziyun softly replied. The current her already doesn’t have any good impressions about Shen Yue.

Shen Yue sat down beside looking at Nie Li with hint of chill in his eyes.

The atmosphere between three person suddenly got awkward.

“Nie Li, we met again.” Shen Yue sneered, revealing faint hostility.

“What, was the lesson last time not enough?” Nie Li had a face of leisure as from the start to finish, he have never place Shen Yue in his eyes.

“You……” Shen Yue clenched his fist tightly, if it wasn’t that Ye Ziyun is present, he will definitely let his underling to teach Nie Li a lesson.

Ye Ziyun revealed a look of surprise, hearing from the conversation between Nie Li and Shen Yue, it seems that Shen Yue suffered loss from the hands of Nie Li. She is a little curious, Shen Yue as a direct descendent of Sacred Family, how would he be able to swallow the loss he suffered from Nie Li?

Shen Yue forcibly suppress the grievance within him, he looked at Ye Ziyun saying “My family and Ziyun’s family are friends, the both of us has been playing together from young and we’re familiar with each other. Our elders are also very supportive of us associating together.”

Shen Yue’s words is to remind Nie Li that only him and Ziyun are an appropriate match and received the consent of both side’s elders, what is Nie Li considered? Actually wanting to snatch Ye Ziyun with him?

Upon listening to Shen Yue’s words, Nie Li couldn’t help but sneer deep in his heart. In terms of familiarity, could ShenYue know about her more then him?

Shen Yue looked at Ye Ziyun, revealing a gentle smile on his face “It can be said that me and Ziyun have mutual understanding of each other’s preference and habits of life.”

Listening to Shen Yue’s words, Ye Ziyun showed a hint of unpleasant expression on her face, she wanted to refute Shen Yue’s claims, since when did the familiarity between the both of them has reached that degree? After the few incidents in class, Ye Ziyun felt a little disgust towards Shen Yue, Sacred Family isn’t as glorious and sacred as they show on the surface.

Ye Ziyun couldn’t help to look at Nie Li, Nie Li wouldn’t misunderstand right.

“Then why don’t you say what do you understand, I’d like to know.” Nie Li’s finger gently tapping onto the table, in the previous life, Ye Ziyun was almost married to Shen Yue, therefore, in this life he couldn’t let the same thing happen again.

“Ye Ziyun loves to eat Acampe Rigida, reading books and daze off staring outside the window…” Shen Yue looked at Ye Ziyun affectionately.

Nie Li faintly laughed and said “Actually, she doesn’t like to eat Acampe Rigida, it was Lord Ye Mo that bluffed her saying that eating Acampe Rigida could strengthen one’s soul force, only fools would love to read those difficult books, Ziyun loves to explore the most, dazing off while starting at the window is because she longed for the outside world.”

Hearing Nie Li’s words, Ye Ziyun were lightning-strucked, staring at Nie Li, how did Nie Li know of these stuff? She absolutely never expected that there would be someone that understand her so well.

Nie Li took a deep breath, so much he wished that he could take Ye Ziyun travel throughout the continent, but that wish couldn’t be fulfilled in the previous life, therefore in this life, he will fulfil Ye Ziyun’s wish.

“You’re talking nonsense…” Shen Yue tried to argued but looking at Ye Ziyun’s expression, he opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything out.

“Since you understand Ye Ziyun so much, there’s a butterfly-shaped mark on her body, do you know where the mark is at?” Nie Li faintly smiled as he looked towards Shen Yue.

“How would I know!” Shen Yue angrily replied.

Hearing Nie Li’s words, Ye Ziyun’s face flushed red, how would Nie Li know of the butterfly-shaped mark on her body? A strange feeling surged up within Ye Ziyun and she stood up, “Nie Li you rogue!” Ye Ziyun stamped her feet onto the ground, mingled with shame as she ran away.

Ye Ziyun’s slim back, long white dress and slender legs caused her to look more attractive.

Seeing Ye Ziyun’s strange reaction, Shen Yue’s face sullen, the relationship between Ye Ziyun and Nie Li is absolutely not that simple, maybe they had adultery, his face went horribly gloomy “Nie Li, remember this, I will let you die a horrible death!”

Nie Li looked at Shen Yue with disdain, sneered as he spoke “You are still far from being able to compete with me, if you still doesn’t grow some eyes, I wouldn’t mind giving you some lesson.” Nie Li stood up and left.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Ziyun’s crimson red face has not receded.

“Nie Li, you scoundrel! Scoundrel!” Ye Ziyun angrily stamping her feet, how did Nie Li know that there’s a butterfly-shaped mark on her left chest? Thinking about it here, Ye Ziyun felt unease in her heart, could it be that Nie Li peek at her while she’s bathing?

If Nie Li have seen the butterfly-shaped mark on her body, doesn’t that mean that he have seen every part of her body?

No, I have to question that scoundrel!

Ye Ziyun is extremely shy in her heart, he gaze outside, how did Nie Li understand her so well? Nie Li couldn’t have been always peeking by her side? But the City Lord Mansion is huge and heavily guarded, afraid that not even a fly can come in.


Chapter 23: Murder!

Ye Ziyun was distraught with anxiety. She took out the [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] given by Nie Li. The value of this [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] is absolutely unimaginable and Nie Li is actually willing to give her such a precious cultivation technique?

With both anger and gratitude, the two emotions intertwined within her heart, causing her to be unable to calm down.

After a long while, Ye Ziyun finally managed to suppress the indignation in her heart and focused on practising the [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix] cultivation technique. Her inner heart also began to slowly calm down. Her soul realm were tough as icy frost, crystal clear energy began moving around the body.

Ye Ziyun’s skin turned crystal clear like jade’s luster, becoming a lot more beautiful than it used to be. She’s as though a fairy descending from the heavens.

With the soul force continuously to improve, the impurities were being discharged out of Ye Ziyun’s body. Body is covered in sweat, suddenly a cyan light bloomed, they were as though a huge cyan lotus.

Ye Ziyun suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful pupils were as pure as gems. The power of [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix] technique far surpassed her expectations. She’s already near the borders of 1-star bronze rank but after practising [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix] cultivating technique, she directly broke through the barrier and became a 1-star bronze rank.

Feeling the stickiness on her body. This was extremely uncomfortable and Ye Ziyun immediately got the maid to prepare the water for bath.

Fragrance emitted from the flower pedals in the bath barrel. Ye Ziyun slowly removed her clothes revealing her curvaceous figure. Her white and exquisite skin were as though they were sculpted from jade. After practising the [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix] technique, Ye Ziyun became even more beautiful and charming. Although she has not reached the blooming age, but her development is already considered quite good.

Her exquisite ankle slowly enters into the sea of pedals. Feeling the hot water washing off the stains on her body and the flower fragrance leaving behind on her body. Ye Ziyun’s mood couldn’t help but turn happy. Her fine fingers slowly stroking her smooth skin. Seeing the butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left chest, her heart couldn’t help but flutter.

This butterfly-shaped birthmark has been with her since birth. Slightly touching the birthmark, although she still hasn’t reach the bloom age for girls, but the slightly elevated peaks are already very attractive.

So has Nie Li seen her birthmark before?

Ye Ziyun felt her heart flutter. If Nie Li has seen it before, then doesn’t that mean that everything else has been seen by Nie Li?

Just then, rustling sound suddenly sounded from outside.

“Who? Who’s peeking?” Ye Ziyun immediate cover her chest with her hands, indignant flashed on her face. Nie Li that scoundrel!

“Miss, it’s me!” A pretty maid came out from behind the curtains.

It turned out to be the maid Xiao Die. Ye Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, her face slightly heats up. Nie Li hasn’t even reached 1-star bronze rank yet, how could he be able to break into the heavily guarded City Lord Mansion? She’s being too paranoid! So how did Nie Li actually see her birthmark?

A night of silence.

Second day, Secret Treasure Pavilion.

This is a large shop that specialize in variety of armours, weapons, and inscription scrolls. The shop is located a few hundred meters from Holy Orchid Institute.

“Boss, I’ll take that bronze Ragefire armour set, and this Wrath of Inflammation sword!” Nie Li said, pointing towards at the bronze armour and bronze weapon.

“This set of Ragefire suit consist of 4 parts. Which is relatively the armour, gauntlets, leggings and boots, the price would be 500 thousand demon spirit coins. These are the pinnacles of bronze level, made from the scalesof a Ragefire demon beast. Bronze ranked demon beast wouldn’t be able to break the armour, even silver ranked demon beast would require large effort to break it. Young Master are you sure you want to buy this?” The boss said sizing Nie Li up.

“Of course! Do you think I’m joking with you?” Nie Li flings his hand throwing a bag out and continued “There’s 70 ten thousand demon spirit cards.”

“Okay! I’ll wrap it up for Young Master immediately!” The boss’s eyes beaming with joy.

“I still want this set of armour, and these inscription scrolls. I want it all, wrap them up for me. And this, this, this…” After selling a large amount of Purple Haze Grass, the amount of money in Nie Li’s hand is simply frightening. Therefore buying these items isn’t a problem at all.

Unsure which of the super families the young man belonged to, the shop owner’s teeth almost dropped from his smile. The generosity of Nie Li’s spending spree caused the sales of one day to top the sales of several months.

Nie Li also bought a 5-6 cubic meter space Interspatial Ring and placed all the items into the Interspatial Ring. As for the Ragefire suit, it was directly worn on his body. This Ragefire suit is extremely light, wearing a shirt over it would have the suit covered up.

“I’ll make a trip today to the classroom to return the money to Xiao Ning’er!” Nie Li thought for awhile and said to himself. Then he walked towards the school’s direction.

A few people suddenly appeared in front of Nie Li when he walked to a corner in the school.

“Brat, we’ve finally caught you!” Shen Yue coldly sneered looking at Nie Li. The six lackeys behind Shen Yue also looked at Nie Li with ridicule in their eyes. Nie Li was already well aware that Shen Yue and his bunch had been following him. He deliberately went to a remote area to wait for Shen Yue and his bunch to block him. Nie Li had an imperceptible smile on his face, look how I’ll mess with you guys next!

“What do you guys want?” Nie Li pretended to look afraid.

“Brat, you finally know fear. Damn, I have been unhappy with you for all these days. Today you’re seeking your own death! Beat him up mercilessly!” Shen Yue thundered.

The six lackeys behind Shen Yue charged towards Nie Li, like starving tiger going for it’s food.

“Beat him! Beat him up mercilessly, until he can’t crawl up!” Shen Yue revealed a cruel and enjoying smile on his face.

“Don’t come here, I’ll retaliate!” Nie Li dodging while at the same time shouting using his soul force, “Murder! Sacred Family is going to murder me!” such a good chance to soil Sacred family’s name, Nie Li definitely wouldn’t let it go.

Nie Li used a secret soul technique, his voice was as loud as thunder, causing other’s eardrum to sting.

“Damn, shut that brat’s mouth! Hurry up and shut them!” Hearing Nie Li’s yell, Shen Yue’s face almost twitched. Damn, Nie Li’s yell can be heard throughout the whole Holy Orchid Institute. Even more miserable than pigs that are beings butchered!

Bang Bang Bang!

The attacks of Shen Yue’s lackeys were as raindrops falling onto Nie Li’s body. Within these six lackeys, three of them is 1-star bronze rank and another three of them is 2-star bronze rank. By right, a few fist from them should be able to beat Nie Li down. But after Nie Li receiving few blows, he didn’t have any reaction. His yell is still as loud, echoing back and forth between several school buildings.

“Murder! Sacred Family is going to murder me!”

The power of his voice penetration simply shook the school building. Hastily, the whole Holy Orchid Institute was alarmed by it and lots of people leaned out against the window, wanting to see what’s going on.

In just one look, they saw six people surrounding Nie Li beating him, and standing behind them is Shen Yue of Sacred Family.

“Isn’t that Nie Li?”

“I heard that Nie Li offended the Sacred Family!”

“I heard that because of Nie Li exposing the plagiarism behind <<Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern>>, Sacred Family is planning to secretly get rid of Nie Li!”

“Sacred Family is too dark, actually trying to kill a student in Holy Orchid Institute!”

“Hurry and report this to the Principal!”

Students began talking among themselves, even the people that are unhappy of Nie Li in the past also felt sympathy for Nie Li. Including several nobility kids within. Everyone were displeased with the methods of Shen Yue. This is Holy Orchid Institute, Sacred Family actually dared to kill someone in here? Isn’t it a little too lawless?

Nie Li looked at the Shen Yue in front of him, the corner of his mouth raised. Shen Yue is still too inexperienced to play with him!

When surrounded by the six people, Nie li is using his quick movements so the attacks of Shen Yue’s lackeys all fell on the Ragefire armour. Not only are they unable to hurt Nie Li, they even got hurt by the impact of their own attacks causing their hand to numb. The bones on their hand felt as though they were on the verge of breaking.

While dodging, Nie Li secretly had his fist strike onto the bodies of Shen Yue’s lackeys, causing them to grimace from the pain. Strictly speaking, with Nie Li’s current strength, he shouldn’t be able to cause any harm to the few 1-star and 2-star bronze rank fighters. But Nie Li’s fist is a little strange, his light punch hurts even more then being hit on the head with a rod.

“Damn, you bunch of imbeciles! Do you even lift?” Shen Yue roared. Under the crowd’s view, Shen Yue felt that his face is all thrown away. After so long not only did his six lackeys unable to beat Nie Li down, but Nie Li’s yell is getting louder and louder.

[TL: The raw actually meant “Do you even eat?” but well.. the editor suggested to have a little joke in it xD]

Nie Li yelling for help alone is fine, but Nie Li yelled that Sacred Family is committing murder. That’s simply pouring the foul water onto Sacred Family, branding them as criminals!

Shen Yue is simply about to go mad. Right now he can’t retreat.

“Beat him up, ruthlessly beat him up!” Shen Yue roared.

Shen Yue’s lackeys were filled with grievances. They have already tried hard enough. But no matter how they attack Nie Li, he didn’t have any injuries, but rather they were beaten by Nie Li until their bones are about to scatter. Nie Li’s punch seemed light, but it’s full of power, beating them blue and black.

“What are you guys doing?” a lovable voice sounded soon after. A slender figure skimmed over, It’s Xiao Ning’er.

Xiao Ning’er stood guard in front of Nie Li, furiously glaring at Shen Yue and bunch. Cyan glow shined on her body, she’s already a 1-star bronze rank demon spiritist. Her hands holding onto a Blue Moon Dagger, preparing to act any time.

“Shen Yue, you’re too much.” Another lovely voice sounded. A beautiful slender figure skimmed over from the side, it’s Ye Ziyun. She furiously glared at Shen Yue saying, “Shen Yue, I never thought that you’re this kind of person!”

“Nie Li, are you okay?” Xiao Ning’er and Ye Ziyun both looked towards Nie Li at the same time.

Seeing Ye Ziyun’s concern for Nie Li, Xiao Ning’er’s face froze, casting her head away.

Ye Ziyun is also slightly awkward, turning her head towards Shen Yue.

“Ziyun, you misunderstood, it isn’t like that!” Shen Yue tried to explain. Seeing the faint mockery on Nie Li’s face, he came to understand what happened. He was fooled by Nie Li! Shen Yue pointed towards Nie Li saying, “It’s this brat that lured us here, he’s behind it!”

“Shen Yue, who are you trying to fool?” Xiao Ning’er got angrier, “Isn’t the excuse that you’re finding a little too retarded?”

At this moment, Nie Li’s face is looked full of innocence. Nie Li righteously rebuked Shen Yue saying “I admit that I have offended your Sacred Family, but weren’t you guys too much. Actually wanting to kill someone in school? What do you think this Holy Orchid Institute is? Although my family couldn’t be compared to yours, but I’m not at the mercy of you. I’d like to see to what extend is your Sacred Family overbearing to! I, Nie Li am proud, unless you kill me, it’s impossible for me to yield to you villans!

Nie Li’s righteous words simply caused Shen Yue to vomit in anger.

Hearing Nie Li’s words, no matter if it’s Xiao Ning’er or Ye Ziyun, couldn’t help to look at Nie Li with admiringly. and Xiao Ning’er’s heart is filled with admiration for Nie Li.

“I too, will not yield to Sacred Family!” Xiao Ning’er secretly thought. She is simply filled with hatred for Sacred Family! In her view, Sacred Family was always vile and repulsive. Just forcing her to marry to Shen Fei alone can see that!
