Dawn slowly rose from the edge of the sky. When Ye Ziyun woke up, Nie Li was sitting cross-legged, practising. Thinking about her actions yesterday, her face felt burning hot. Looking at Nie Liâs back figure, Ye Ziyun didnât know how to face Nie Li anymore.
She quietly began to put on her clothes. While she was in the middle of dressing herself, Nie Li suddenly turned around, lightly smiled and said, âYouâre up?â
The current Ye Ziyun was stunned. She wasnât fully clothed yet and both of her hands couldnât hide her from Nie Liâs heated gaze, âNie Li, you pervertâŚâŚâ
Ye Ziyun picked up a pillow and threw it towards him.
Her clothes were messy. Because she was not properly clothed, the clothes are slightly squeezing the two soft mounds, making her look even more attractive. The sight of her white abdomen and pure white arms made her look even more charming.
Nie Li quickly caught the pillow and rolled his eyes, âWho was it that dug into my bed without wearing anything? You actually call me a pervertâŚâŚ.â the corner of his mouth couldnât conceal his smile, itâs not common to see Ye Ziyun go crazy.
âIâŚâŚâ Ye Ziyun felt as though she no longer had any face to face others. What exactly did get into her last night, for her to actually do such a thing? âNie Li, if you continue to mention about last night, I wonât talk to you anymore!â
Seeing Ye Ziyunâs shy posture, Nie Li couldnât help smiling and shrugged his shoulders, âThen, I wonât mention it anymore!â
Ye Ziyun dressed herself and hastily ran out of his room with her face flushed red. At the moment, her mind was elsewhere. She originally thought that Nie Li would be like any other guy. Once they obtain what they want, they would lose interest in it. If thatâs the case, she would have repaid Nie Liâs grace; however, the results were completely opposite of her expectations. Nie Li slept beside her the entire night, separated by quilt.
Ye Ziyun felt a little bewildered, why does Nie Li likes her so much? Far surpassing Xiao Ningâer. By right, he has spent more time together with Xiao Ningâer and has experienced much more together.
This mystery left her perplexed. But no matter what, Nie Li saved her father. If she was requested, one day, to return the favour, she would definitely not hesitate.
Winged Dragon Family
Ever since Xiao Ningâer returned and recuperated from the battle, her body quickly took a turn for the better. Furthermore, her cultivation had small signs of making a breakthrough. She has to admit, the [Lightning Dragon] cultivation technique is so powerful that itâs shocking. Her cultivation has already soared by leaps and bounds to 2-star Gold rank, preparing to stride forward towards 3-star Gold rank.
Everyday, her soul realm would frantically absorb the surrounding soul force. The speed is simply shocking.
Itâs hard to imagine what kind of cultivation technique Nie Li gave her. Xiao Ningâer has a feeling that this [Lightning Dragon] cultivation technique wonât have any difficulty breaking through the the Gold rank, even Legend rank might not be that difficult.
Xiao Ningâer quietly fixed her gaze to the window, her mind flashed with Nie Liâs confident smile. She couldnât help smiling, what is Nie Li doing now?
A maid hastily walked in and said, âMiss, the Patriarch seeks your presence.â
âOkay,â Xiao Ningâer nodded her head and walked towards the direction of the Winged Dragon Familyâs Main Hall.
Winged Dragon Familyâs Main Hall
Xiao Yunfeng and the six elders are all in their seats. Upon seeing Xiao Ningâerâs arrival, the six elders stood up and gave her a respectful smile.
Xiao Ningâer recalled the situation where the six elders tried to force her to give up the Purple Haze Grass. Her face went frost cold, there was no trace of emotion. She looked at Xiao Yunfeng, who is sitting at the highest position and asked, âFather, you have some matters to speak to me about?â
When the six elders saw Xiao Ningâerâs unwill to respond to them, they couldnât help smiling in embarrassment. However, even if they have a stomach full of anger, they have to hold it down. They had already received news that Xiao Ningâer stepped into Gold rank and is already a 2-star Gold rank. This kind of cultivating speed, sheâs definitely the first in the entire history of the Winged Dragon Family. According to this training speed, reaching Legend rank is just a matter of time.
Right now, how could they be disrespectful to a future Legend rank expert?
Xiao Yunfeng looked at the elders, then looked at Xiao Ningâer again. He couldnât help sighing in his heart. Itâs not surprise that Xiao Ningâer canât be bothered to bother with them, considering what they did to her before.
âNingâer, we have had a discussion. We old fellas have already grown quite old. I want to pass the Patriarch position over to you, what do youâŚâŚâ Xiao Yunfeng said, lightly smiling. Although the Winged Dragon Family has not had a female Patriarch before, Ningâer is an exception. With her talent, who would dare to talk bad about her?
âFather, Iâm not interested in the Patriarchâs position, I only want to concentrate on my training.â Xiao Ningâer said, shaking her head. She doesnât want to be like her father, having to look after so many people. Especially those with ill intentions. All she wants is to be together with the one she loves and live their lives together, peacefully.
âSince youâre unwilling, then forget it.â Xiao Yunfeng nodded his head. Naturally, he wonât force Xiao Ningâer. Right now, in this family, no one has the rights to force her to do what she doesnât like.
âNiece Ningâer, the few of us have discussed this a little bit. Do you know that genius, Nie Li, from the Heavenly Marks Family? We heard that his power is astronomical right now, even the Alchemist Association has to listen to him. We would like to ask you if the Alchemist Association could do us a favour.â Xiao Yi said, flattering.
Xiao Ningâer coldly stared at Xiao Yi. âDoes Elder Xiao Yi still remember that it was you that wanted me to take the Purple Haze Grass back from Nie Li? Now you want me to go and beg him?â
âThisâŚâŚâ Xiao Xi was endlessly embarrassed, âAt that point in time, even I didnât know of his identity. Back then, when you bought the Purple Haze Grass for him, it can be considered that he owes you a favour.â
âFavour? He cured my illness! I have yet to even return his favour! I will absolutely not do such a thing. If you want to beg so badly, go and beg yourself.â Xiao Ningâer rejected in absolution.
Seeing that Xiao Ningâer wasnât giving him a chance to argue, Xiao Yi felt vexed in his heart, but he didnât dare to show it on his face. He could only apologize and said, âNiece Ningâer, donât be angry. Iâm only just casually saying it. Since Niece Ningâer is not willing, then forget it, pretend that Iâve never mentioned it.â
When Xiao Yiâs voice died out, a person barged in.
âXiao Ningâer, you wretch, you actually seduced another man behind my back and made me a cuckold! You think that my Sacred Family is so easily bullied? Today, I want the Winged Dragon Family to give me an explanation!â The one that barged in is Shen Fei.
Although Shen Hong had made it clear for Shen Fei to not cause any trouble, Shen Fei couldnât endure it any longer. When he found out that Xiao Ningâer returned to her family, he instantly rushed over. As a direct descendant of the Sacred Family, with his engaged fiancĂŠe mixing around with another man, how can he endure it?
Hearing Shen Feiâs words, Xiao Ningâerâs expression went ice cold. She stared at Shen Fei and said, âShen Fei, this is the Main Hall of my Winged Dragon Family. If you donât wish to be beaten out, get lost this instant!â
âBeat me out? It seems that your Winged Dragon Family has grown to be daring. Who was it that begged us to set up an engagement? Now that your wings have grown tough, you want to break the engagement? Fat chance!â Shen Fei pointed to Xiao Yunfeng who is sitting on the high chair and furiously barked, âXiao Yunfeng, even if my Sacred Family is under the oppression of the Snow Wind Family, crushing your Winged Dragon Family is still possible!â
Xiao Yunfeng swept his eyes at Xiao Yi, feeling a little angry. If it wasnât for Xiao Yi forcing back then, he would not have let Ningâer have a marriage engagement with Shen Fei. And right now, the Sacred Family still wants Ningâer to marry over to them, fat chance.
âMister Shen Fei, this matter still needs to be discussed. I will send some men to inform Patriarch Shen Hong about it. You should return, first.â Xiao Yunfeng said in a solemn voice, a wave of imposing aura was emitting from his body.
âHmph! Xiao Yunfeng, you think that I will leave with only your word? Today, I will bring Xiao Ningâer back to Sacred Family; otherwise, Iâll make you guys suffer!â Shen Fei furiously barked.
Hearing what Shen Fei just said, both of Xiao Ningâerâs fists were tightly clenched. She was angered to the point that her body was trembling. That marriage engagement cause her to have countless thoughts of dying, making her life ash grey. She had shed countless amount of tears in the dark. That was until Nie Liâs appearance broke her free from that bitterness. With her current talent, she no longer has to be forced by the elders in the family. However, Shen Fei still did not spare her.
Xiao Ningâer stared at Shen Fei and coldly said, âShen Fei, today, I will challenge you. If you are able to beat me, Iâll follow you back to Sacred Family. If you lose, hmph, then Iâm sorry. I want you to disappear from my sight!â
âHaha, ridiculous. Xiao Ningâer, you want to challenge me by yourself? Have you gone crazy!â Shen Fei stared at Xiao Ningâer. Seeing the coldness in Xiao Ningâerâs eyes, he looked at Xiao Yunfeng and the six elders and said, âYou all have heard her, this is what Xiao Ningâer said herself. Weâll have our deal!â
Roar!
Shen Feiâs body quickly underwent a transformation as he quickly merged with the Scarlet Black Tiger. After the fight with Nie Li, a shadow formed in his heart. Now, no matter who he is facing, he will first merge with his demon spirit before he does anything else. The current him is also not comparable to his past self. He has already reached 1-star Gold rank, adding in the Scarlet Black Tiger, heâs confident that aside from Ye Han, Nie Li and a few others, he doesnât have to fear anyone among his peers. Not to mention a woman like Xiao Ningâer.
âToday, Iâll execute some family punishment!â A trace of cruel, black flames raged.
The heat wave flooded the entire hall.
Xiao Ningâer gave Shen Fei a stare from above, from the front of the stage. She never thought that Shen Fei would reach 1-star Gold rank, not to mention that the Scarlet Black Tiger is a demon spirit that has extremely powerful combat abilities. No wonder Shen Fei agreed to her challenge so quickly.
HoweverâŚâŚ
Xiao Ningâerâs body quickly underwent a transformation as she merged with her Heavenly Lightning Sparrow. Instantaneously, a light flashed that was dazzling to the eyes.
A powerful aura with several folds of strength headed towards the Scarlet Black Tiger.
Seeing Xiao Ningâer integrate with a Heavenly Lightning Sparrow, even Xiao Yunfeng, Xiao Yi and the rest felt a little surprised. The lighting flashing in the sky even gave them a sense of pressure. ly, they had no idea that Xiao Ningâer had actually integrated with such a powerful demon spirit.
After Shen Fei merged with his Scarlet Black Tiger, he thought that he this win was already in his pocket. However, in contrast to his expectations, Xiao Ningâer had also reached Gold rank and even integrated with a powerful Heavenly Lightning Sparrow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning fell down, bombarding the body of the Scarlet Black Tiger. This instantly caused Shen Feiâs entire body to feel a little numbness.
Shen Fei barely reacted. He had greatly underestimated the strength of Xiao Ningâer. He furiously roared and breath a scarlet flame out from his mouth.
Even though the scarlet flame was shooting towards her, Xiao Ningâer was extraordinarily calm. Such a person like Shen Fei, even if he has a pretty decent talent, heâs not hard working at all, always fooling around. She wonât lose to someone like him!
The wings of the Heavenly Lightning Sparrow fanned, a thick bolt of lightning shot towards the scarlet flame.
Boom!
The lightning collided with the scarlet flame, and instantly ripped the scarlet flame completely apart and quickly flew towards Shen Fei without stopping.
This is an absolute crushing defeat. Shen Feiâs strength is not on the same level as Xiao Ningâerâs.
Although they are both Gold rank, Shen Fei couldnât even be considered average among his peers and Xiao Ningâer is an existence that can bypass rank in battle.
A tearing explosion was heard as Shen Fei was blown away, flying out and heavily smash into a pillar in the hall. Cracks appeared on the pillars and floor as he fell onto the ground.. Shen Fei immediately let out a painful whine. This lightning bolt injured him quite badly.
He never thought that Xiao Ningâerâs strength would be so much stronger than his own, completely suppressing him.
The Heavenly Lightning Sparrow is most suitable in regional area battles. The wider the space, the more combat abilities it can display. But even in this hall, itâs unable to exhibit its entire strength; however itâs still not something that Shen Fei can withstand.
