Chapter 31: Snow Sakura Demon Spirit

Chu Yuan frantically tried to pull his soul force out from Nie Li’s soul realm. However, the speed of Nie Li’ soul realm closing was too fast. Chu Yuan only had the time to pull out half of his soul force.

Chu Yuan felt his soul force tear a little, at first, but soon felt it tear in half. Half of it was left in Nie Li’s soul realm forever. His face paled and his steps were unsteady, almost making him fall down. Having his soul force torn in half caused him serious injuries. His whole body felt as though all of his strength had been drained from him. Blood began to leak from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people looked at each other.

It’s very hard for others to clearly see the confrontation of soul force. Therefore, they didn’t know that half of Chu Yuan’s soul force was left in Nie Li’s soul realm forever. They only saw the painful and fearful expression on Chu Yuan’s face , while Nie Li looked energetic. This implied that in the confrontation earlier on, Chu Yuan was inferior to Nie Li.

What they couldn’t understand was that Nie Li, who was clearly not even a 1-star Bronze rank, was able to beat Chu Yuan, who’s a 3-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritist!

Why did Chu Yuan suffer from the battle?

Nie Li felt the surging power within his soul realm. His eyes flashed with light, although the soul force’s level of integration within his body isn’t very high, he still managed to fuse a portion of it. His soul realm just bursted out with dazzling cyan light. The light became more and more flourished.

Nie Li can clearly feel that he is already very close to 1-star Bronze rank. At this moment, if he were to test his soul force, he believes that it would already be above 95.

Within his soul realm, the cracks that surfaced on the barrier to 1-star Bronze rank soon burst

The soul force continues to fuse.

Boom!

Nie Li heard a booming sound in his head. Ripples were set off in his soul realm and the faint roaring sound of a dragon can be heard. It would seem that the thing that is hiding within his soul realm got stronger.

1-star Bronze rank!

Lights flashed within Nie Li’s eyes. He doesn’t know what is hiding within his soul realm. In his previous life, when he practiced, he didn’t feel that there was anything hidden within his soul realm. However, in this life, his soul realm seems to be a little different. Could this be related to the Temporal Demon Spirit Book?

With the breakthrough of his cultivation, although Nie Li had his previous life experiences, he still couldn’t refrain from being excited. Because this means that he has made an important first step onto the road of cultivation. He had embarked on a different road of fate compared to his previous life!

Nie Li was only able to refined a portion of Chu Yuan’s soul force, but by spending a little more time, he would be able to refine all of the soul force and make it his own. Once it has been refined, Nie Li might be able to reach 2-star Bronze rank.

What would Shen Xiu think if she knew that Nie Li’s cultivation is being enhanced so fast?

“Chu Yuan was actually defeated?” someone stated in an astonished voice.

“I never imagined this outcome!” said another.

“If he didn’t have any means to counter, Nie Li probably wouldn’t have even challenged Chu Yuan! I originally thought that Nie Li was too proud, but I never thought that he would have such strength!”

Everyone was shocked by the outcome and began their own discussions.

This kind of outcome, no matter if it’s Ye Ziyun, Chen Linjian, Huyan Lanruo, or even Shen Yue, everyone couldn’t help being surprised.

“It seems that I have underestimated him too much!” Chen Linjian murmured. Challenging 3 levels above himself, this can only be done by a super genius! Does Nie Li really only have a red soul realm? Chen Linjian wasn’t quite convinced of that. If someone were to say that Nie Li has an extremely rare azure soul realm, it’s even more believable than saying that he only has a red soul realm.

Ye Ziyun’s eyes were flashing in astonishment. Although she doesn’t like Nie Li, and feels indignant towards Nie Li’s glib, that doesn’t prevent her from worrying for Nie Li. When Nie Li challenged Chu Yuan, she was also a little nervous. She never thought that Nie Li would actually win. This was a little out of her expectation.

Shen Yue fixedly stared at Nie Li’s back, gritting his teeth. He always thought that Nie Li was lucky to be able to win against him, and never expected that Nie Li has been playing with him this whole time. No wonder that when three of his 2-star Bronze rank underlings surrounded and tried to beat Nie Li, they weren’t able to harm him. Not only did he wear bronze armour, he also far surpassed 2-star Bronze rank. That pain expression that Nie Li had on his face that day was all an act! Thinking of himself being wronged by so many people, the anger within his chest was overflowing, simply ready to blow up.

Nie Li, that treacherous wretch!

The towering chest of Huyan Lanruo’s began to heave violently. Someone who’s not even 1-star Bronze rank was actually able to leap level and challenged a 3-star Bronze rank expert. This surprise that Nie Li gave her was too much. How many more secrets are there in Nie Li’s body?

“This sister has to find some time to dig everything out of you and see what else are you hiding!” Huyan Lanruo stated, with her cheeks flushed red and her eyes flashing with the thought of love.

At this moment, Chu Yuan, who fought with Nie Li, was drenched in sweat and was panting for air. Such serious injuries to his soul force had caused a serious impact to his strength. He would need, at least, half a year to recover.

“Today’s matter will not end here!” Chu Yuan declared, staring at Nie Li with hatred.

“Anytime!” Nie Li announced, his brows twitching slightly. He didn’t even place Chu Yuan into his eyes. After his rebirth, Nie Li had a bigger goal. Therefore, he did not even consider these kinds of people to be his opponent. The injuries that Chu Yuan sustained would need at least half a year or longer to recover. In these few months, Chu Yuan will realise that he could only look at Nie Li from afar.

Would a soaring eagle place the dust on the ground into it’s eye?

Chu Yuan turned around, looking somewhat awkward and ran.

Nie Li’s and Chu Yuan’s battle soon became the focus topic and discussion among everyone. And no one would underestimate Nie Li anymore just because he hadn’t reached 1-star Bronze rank yet.

They aren’t aware of is that after the battle from earlier, Nie Li had already reached 1-star Bronze rank!

After reaching 1-star bronze rank, Nie Li’s strength was raised even further. At this moment, he wouldn’t be inferior to anyone else if a fight were to begin.

After this incident, the group continued walking on the narrow rugged mountain road.

“Little brother, you really made your sister surprised. Yesterday, I saw you setting up your tent alone in a corner. Why don’t you set your tent beside sister’s tonight and we can discuss the aspects of cultivation?” suggested Huyan Lanruo, walking to the front of Nie Li. At this moment, the distance between Nie Li and her is extremely close.

Looking down, Huyan Lanruo’s towering peaks were almost attached onto Nie Li’s body. One can vaguely see the deep rich ravine, especially the two raised points, which made it even more seductive.

He could smell the fragrance of orchid from her. He has to admit, Huyan Lanruo is still very charming.

In his previous life, Nie Li was only an ordinary boy. Naturally, none of the girls would give him any favours. It wasn’t until the destruction of Glory City when he had the chance to come in contact with Ye Ziyun. Having the goddess in his heart, he never thought that in this life, he would come to know Xiao Ning’er, and now, Huyan Lanruo who was taking the initiative to seduce him. It seems that his romance is a little too much.

It’s a pity that Nie Li was no longer the ordinary boy from his past. He can’t be seduced so easily by beauty alone. In his heart, there was only Ye Ziyun. After all,t was Ye Ziyun that was in love with the ordinary Nie Li in his previous life, which caused Nie Li’s life to change. Soon after that, Ye Ziyun left the world with regrets. Therefore, after his rebirth, one of Nie Li’s important purposes was to guard Ye Ziyun.

Huyan Lanruo thought that she could seduce Nie Li base on beauty alone. She really thought Nie Li would be so simple.

Seeing Huyan Lanruo luring Nie Li with her seductive body, Ye Ziyun pouted. She doesn’t like this woman because Huyan Lanruo is too seductive, which caused her to be unable to stand it. Ye Ziyun took a glance at Nie Li. With Huyan Lanruo seducing a brat like this, this brat will probably throw himself onto her.

‘Heck care, isn’t my problem to begin with,’ Ye Ziyun thought, turning herself around.

“I thank Miss Huyan’s good intentions, but Miss Huyan is already a Silver rank. I’m afraid that I don’t have anything to discuss with Miss Huyan. Let’s forget about it!” Nie Li said, softly refusing her seductive invite.

Ye Ziyun paused for a moment and looked at Nie Li in astonishment. She never thought that Nie Li would actually refuse.

Huyan Lanruo’s charming eyes were all written with misbelief. Although she hasn’t slept with any man, she clearly knows her own impressive capital. She would often mess with many men that would approach her. In her view, seducing a small boy like Nie Li was an easy thing to do. She never thought, since she first had contact with Nie Li, his eyes have always been lucid. She never expected him to flatly refuse her request in resolution.

She couldn’t help feeling ashamed and resentful at the same time. Her eyes suddenly turned sharp, bursting with charm, and spoke in a soft and shy voice, “Doesn’t little brother Nie Li want to get closer with sister?”

Nie Li’s eye contracted, waves of fragrance penetrated his nose. The Huyan Lanruo in front of him had her skin emitted a moist light, her towering peaks, her curvy waist, she was without a doubt completely filled with seductive charm. Any other man that sees this would want to press her under them and merciless ravage her.

Huyan Lanruo maintained a step distance with Nie Li. However, Nie Li’s mind was filled with all kinds of imagination. The chest of Huyan Lanruo closely attached to his and that soft touch, she proudly hugged her chest while looking at Nie Li with great interest.

‘After you take my art of charm, we’ll see how long you can continue to pretend!’ she pridefully thought.

Huyan Lanruo felt that Nie Li only refused her to put up a show in front of Ye Ziyun. Nie Li’s heart is definitely filled with lust! As long as she cast her art of charm, Nie Li will be completely attached to her.

Nie Li’s heart shook, a light flashed across his eyes, and his pupils immediately become clear, ridding himself of those illusions.

Wanting to control Nie Li with a little charming technique, she is underestimating Nie Li a little too much. That charming technique could only work on those whom lack willpower. Nie Li had lived two lives. His heart has already solidified. How could he be tempted so easily?

“Snow Sakura Demon Spirit. I never thought that Miss Huyan would have such a rare demon spirit!” Nie Li exclaimed, looking at Huyan Lanruo in an interesting manner.

Huyan Lanruo stared at Nie Li at this moment, feeling like she was struck by lightning.

Chapter 32: Relic

What kind of monster is he?!

Huyan Lanruo is already a 2-star Silver rank Demon Spiritist. Her soul realm is integrated with the Snow Sakura Demon Spirit. This extremely rare demon spirit lived in the depths of the St. Ancestral Mountains. It has strong charming abilities. All kinds of creatures couldn’t help going near the Snow Sakura Demon Spirit and were swallowed by it. Huyan Lanruo, later, integrated with the Snow Sakura Demon. Charming a demon spiritist of the same level was an easy thing to do.

If Huyan Lanruo were to exert a little trick, there would be a lot of men willing become her escorts. Her charming technique hasn’t failed a single time and she never thought that she would actually fail today!

Not only was the charming technique seen though, her demon spirit was also seen through by Nie Li with one look. Isn’t this boy in front of her a little too mysterious? The Snow Sakura Demon Spirit is an extremely rare demon spirit caught and given to her by her grandfather. Most people wouldn’t have even heard of it before, let alone knowing it’s abilities and origin.

Huyan Lanruo felt like she was struck by lightning. She remained speechless for a long while.

The main point is that, the receiver of the charming technique was only a little boy who’s not even a 1-star Bronze rank!

There are two kinds of people that wouldn’t be affected by the charming technique. One kind would be a person who has a mind not corrupted with impurities, for example a 5 years old boy. Another kind would be a super expert who is well knowledgeable of the charming technique.

Nie Li is already 13 years old and already has some knowledge between man and woman matters. Therefore, he shouldn’t be able to achieve the pure mind of a child. The only possibility would be the second kind.

But… How is that possible?

Huyan Lanruo would have never imagined that inside the shell of this small boy in front of her, lies the soul of a super expert. A super expert that even surpassed legend rank.

Seeing Huyan Lanruo’s startled expression, Nie Li faintly smiled and continued to walk pass Huyan Lanruo’s side.

“Nie Li, was Huyan Lanruo not pretty?” Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li, blinking her eyes with a curious baby look.

Under that kind of temptation, Nie Li actually refused. Nie Li couldn’t have some special unspeakable secrets, right?

Nie Li smiled, looked at Ye Ziyun and said, “Huyan Lanruo is indeed very pretty, but how can she be compared to you?”

Hearing Nie Li’s rubbish, Ye Ziyun stamped her feet onto the ground and said, “I can’t be compared to Huyan Lanruo. There are a lot of people that fancy her!”

Ye Ziyun clearly knows that. Even some of her cousins in Snow Wind Family fancy Huyan Lanruo.

Nie Li knows that Ye Ziyun meant the body aspects. Ye Ziyun’s temperament and beauty has far exceeded Huyan Lanruo. However, in terms of figure, she is still a little less compared to Huyan Lanruo. Nie Li couldn’t help but laugh. He smiled as he looked up and down of Ye Ziyun. In just a few years, Ye Ziyun’s figure wouldn’t lose to Huyan Lanruo and only Nie Li knows how sexy and beautiful Ye Ziyun will be at that time. Ye Ziyun wouldn’t be like Huyan Lanruo flaunting her sexyness, but would be kind and elegant, which isn’t what Huyan Lanruo can compete to.

Seeing the strange and perverted look in Nie Li’s eyes, Ye Ziyun pouted in dissatisfaction. Becoming friends with Nie Li isn’t bad, however, going a step further, she have never thought of it before. Ye Ziyun only thinks about practising in her heart. She wants to become a Legend rank Demon Spiritist like her grandfather.

The [Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique] that Nie Li gave her, allowed her to be one step closer to her dreams. Therefore, in her heart, she is very grateful towards Nie Li. If it was any of the other boys that glibbed towards her, without any sense of seriousness, she would have already turned around and left.

Huyan Lanruo turned her head and looked at Nie Li’s back. Angrily she said, “I don’t believe that I can’t subdue a small kid like you!”

Huyan Lanruo felt a little indignant in her heart. Could it be that her charm can’t be compared to Ye Ziyun?

Huyan Lanruo turned around, pointed at Nie Li and exclaimed at the crowd, “Nie Li, I will one day make you a slave under my skirt! I have decided, I will chase after this kid. In the future, this kid will be mine. Anyone that wants to touch him would have to ask if I agree to it! If anyone snatches him from me, I’ll not let them off!”

Hearing Huyan Lanruo’s domineering declaration, everyone became dumbfounded.

Huyan Lanruo actually wanted to chase after Nie Li? Everyone looked at Nie Li, then stared at Huyan Lanruo again.

A beauty like Huyan Lanruo would only need to wave her finger and a lot of men would surround her like flies. However, Huyan Lanruo wants to reverse it and chase after Nie Li? This is too weird.

Ye Ziyun look at Nie Li with a ‘wanting to smile yet did not’ expression, it seemed that Nie Li has a lot of romance. First, it was Xiao Ning’er taking the initiative to send breakfast and now, he’s being chased by Huyan Lanruo. She can’t really see that Nie Li would actually be so attractive.

Huyan Lanruo’s declaration caused a ripples among everyone and became the topic of talk. Even Chen Linjian couldn’t help but to be astonished.

The group continued moving forwards, passing through several mountains.

“Nie Li, this is an apricot cake, do you want to eat?”

“Nie Li, are you tired? Do you want me to lay a cushion for you to rest?”

Huyan Lanruo would appear by the side of Nie Li from time to time, like a ghost, and would, from time to time, rush here. The well developed chest would occasionally graze Nie Li’s arm accompanied by the fragrance of a woman’s scent that would linger around. If it was any other boys, after being provoked by such a sexy beauty, they would definitely be unable to control and eat Huyan Lanruo up already.

However, Huyan Lanruo’s seduction techniques seemed to only annoy Nie Li.

“I say, can you not be so annoying. Go, go, go! Go do what you want! Go further away!” Nie Li waved his hands and said impatiently.

Huyan Lanruo’s eye turned red. Since when has she ever been treated like this before? Is Nie Li blind? Blind to her beauty? The more she thought about it, the more she felt unhappy and indignant. She threw the mat onto the ground and walked away.

“Whew… Finally, some peace!” said Nie Li, relieved that the troublesome woman was finally gone.

But after walking a few steps, Huyan Lanruo turned her head around and said, “Nie Li do you want a drink? I have excellent quality apricot wine here.”

Hearing Huyan Lanruo’s words, Nie Li almost collapsed.

‘What’s wrong with this woman?’ he asked himself, ‘Why can’t I shake her off?’

“Can you not be so silly? Are you that bored?” Nie Li said, rolling his eyes.

Huyan Lanruo blinked her eyes and said shyly, “I realised that I have fallen for you. Although you don’t like me now, it’s fine. Who wouldn’t like a beauty like me? ,I’ll pretend that you are blind, for now. However, not long from now, you will realise how beautiful and cute I am!”

“I’d be blind if I were to fancy you!” Nie Li spatted and quickly walked away.

‘This woman is simply beyond hope!’

Of course, Nie Li did not think that Huyan Lanruo has really fallen for him. She probably finds him fun to play with. He estimates that after a while she’ll lose her interest and leave.

Nie Li ran to the side of Ye Ziyun. No matter if it’s the previous life or the current life, Ye Ziyun is his most beloved. The few girls beside Ye Ziyun smilingly looked at Nie Li and started discussing softly.

“This is the one that Huyan Lanruo is chasing?”

“He looks pretty handsome.”

“Matching with Huyan Lanruo is enough!”

Listening to their discussion, Nie Li couldn’t help sweating.

Ye Ziyun raised her head, looked at distressed Nie Li, and faintly said, “Weren’t you together with Huyan Lanruo?”

“Ziyun, you know that I have nothing to do with Huyan Lanruo!” Nie Li bitterly smiled. ‘Huyan Lanruo that ** annoyance, if Ye Ziyun were to misunderstand anything, I’ll be depressed.’

“What has this got to do with me?” Ye Ziyun shrugged turned her head and left. The corner of her mouth slightly rose, revealing a teasing smile. She finds it quite interesting seeing the distressed look on Nie Li’s face.

Nie Li opened his mouth but didn’t manage to get anything out. Looking at Ye Ziyun’s tender back, his heart felt depressed. When can he be like the previous life, hugging this pretty girl in his arms? The road ahead is still long!

He’d better raise his strength first. After a few years, Glory City will be under the threats of demon beasts. Even Ye Ziyun’s grandfather, who is a Legend rank Demon Spiritist, also dies in the battle. Therefore, Nie Li has to reach Legend rank before that. For him, this is a huge challenge as the time is too short.

He must use all the methods available to enhance his strength, which includes this this journey to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins! He must get the spirit lamp!

For the next few days, Nie Li continued to refine the soul force that he got from Chu Yuan. However, Huyan Lanruo, this woman was too annoying. When Nie Li is practising, she would stand guard beside Nie Li and not moving a step. Hence, Nie Li can only choose to ignore her.

Walking through the mountains for two days, and passing through a deep canyon passage. A distant plain valley, finally, appeared in their sight.

This is a piece of relic from the ancient city. The place covered a radius of a hundred miles. Most of it was covered in dense woods, only leaving some mottled walls. The roar of demon beasts could be heard from within the ruins. The demon beasts that are above Gold rank have already left the place. What remained in the ruins were Bronze and Silver ranked Demon Beasts.

These remains from the Age of Darkness vaguely told the story of the glory of humanity at that time.

Seeing these broken walls and scattered bones lying around, everyone couldn’t help but feel desolation. If Glory City were to be broken through by demon beasts, it would become the same as this ruin. Only leaving behind bones and ruins everywhere.

The rampant demon beasts during the Age of Darkness destroyed all of the human’s empire. Only leaving behind several lucky survivors who were still struggling with the demon beasts. However, much of the knowledge and civilization has been lost in the disaster. For example, many of Glory City’s cultivation techniques, martial arts, and inscription patterns are all incomplete. Therefore, it’s very possible to get some stuff left behind by the Age of Darkness, if they were to explore these ancient ruins!

What Nie Li wants is the spirit lamp. It was a powerful item left behind by a Legend rank Demon Spiritist of the Age of Darkness!
