Xiao Yu struggled for quite a while before he finally realised that there was no point. The only thing he could do was widen his eyes and helplessly resign himself to his fate.
After Nie Li treated Xiao Yuâs back, he turned his friend over and leaned him on the tree.
What Nie Li caught sight of there stunned him.
Xiao Yu was extremely slim, and his chest was flat and smooth. Although there were several burn wounds, it wasnât terribly serious. A huge portion of his pearly white skin could be seen.
There wasnât the slightest injury on her chest and her pearly white chest were covered by a mysterious tattoo.
The design was extremely complex, as though it was crafted from high-level inscription patterns.
Even Nie Li couldnât make any sense of it; however, he intuitively sensed that those inscription patterns were probably linked to Xiao Yuâs origins.
A strange ring with power over space-time, and a set of mysterious and profound inscription patterns. Nie Li guessed that Xiao Yu probably had a formidable background!
Since Nie Li was staring at his front, Xiao Yu turned red all the way down to his neck. He could only slightly tilt his head away slightly.
âWeâre both guys, whatâs there to be embarrassed about?â Nie Li shrugged.
Xiao Yu still appeared a little indignant at Nie Liâs words.
He began treating Xiao Yuâs front side. He slowly smeared the medicinal paste on his friendâs wounds and massaged it in. He was cautious with every wound.
Nie Li had a serious expression on his face as he looked down on Xiao Yuâs wounds. Xiao Yu was finally looking back at him with a less dazed expression. Tears flickered in his eyes. Who knew what he was trying to say?
âCould you not look me in the eye? Youâre making my hair stand.â Nie Li said, a little disheartened. No. Xiao Yu wouldnât happen to have a special hobby of being interested in men, right?
Either way, Nie Li continued treating Xiao Yuâs wounds, and only left a few private parts for Xiao Yu to do for himself.
Just as Nie Li prepared to unlock Xiao Yuâs meridians, his eyes fell back to the mysterious inscription pattern arrays on Xiao Yuâs chest.
He could faintly sense a mysterious ripple of energy spreading out from the design on Xiao Yuâs chest. It was as though the surrounding time and space had stopped.
When Nie Liâs eyes fell on the tattoo, he felt like he was being sucked in. He couldnât look away.
Nie Liâs heart was filled with curiosity. Just what were these inscription pattern arrays?
He unconsciously extended his hand and touched Xiao Yuâs chest.
His body no longer listened to him, and was being pulled by the ungraspable energy.
âWuâŚwuâŚwuâŚâ Xiao Yu thrashed violently.
However, Nie Li couldnât hear his friendâs protests. His right hand was already over the mysterious inscription patterns.
*Boom!*
The mysterious energy surged violently. The inscription patterns on Xiao Yuâs chest began spinning rapidly. Mysterious inscription pattern chains snaked out in all direction and latched onto Nie Li.
A deep vortex sucked his mind inside.
Nie Li thoroughly lost consciousness.
After a long period of time, Nie Li entered a dark and endless space.
He quietly seated himself in the place without edges. It was a void that made one feel vulnerable and exposed from all directions.
âWhere is this?â Nie Li furrowed his brows. Why did this happen when he touched the inscription pattern arrays on Xiao Yuâs chest?
He sensed a powerful intent permeating the surrounding space. His own intent was like a drop in the ocean compared to it.
A deep and hoarse voice sounded from the endless time-space. âThis is the space within the Void Spiritual Array!â
âThe Void Spiritual Array?â Nie Li knitted his brows. The information flowed into his mind as he recalled the Void Spiritual Array. Only someone whoâd cultivated the [Heavenâs Divination] technique to a very high level could lay that kind of inscription pattern array.
Within the time-space controlled by the Sage Emperor, the [Heavenâs Divination] technique was something that absolutely should not be learned. Those whoâd learned it would eventually be discovered, and then the Sage Emperorâs Deity Generals would pursue them to the ends of the earth. However, even if the [Heavenâs Divination] technique couldnât be practiced, there were still many people with lofty ideals who preserved and passed it down. Therefore, there were still many who knew it.
It was said that the [Heavenâs Divination] technique could allow one to climb the Heavenly Dao and break the space-time seal placed by the Sage Emperor.
However, once those whoâd cultivated the [Heavenâs Divination] technique reached a certain level, theyâd be discovered by the Sage Emperor. After that, death was destined. Therefore, there were only a few throughout history who were powerful enough to lay down a Void Spiritual Array. All of them possessed great strength and had attained unimaginable heights. To some degree, all of them were strong enough to fight the Sage Emperor.
âIndeed. Before I died, I laid this Void Spiritual Array upon the body of my daughter. However, that was already several million years ago. My confrontation with the Sage Emperor ended with my fall. To protect my only daughter, I sent her through time and space with a secret technique, and she arrived in the present, several million years later. I chose this time because I sensed a powerful time-space aura from here. Someone has managed to cultivate the [Heavenâs Divination] technique to my level.â
âYour daughter?â Nie Li couldnât help knitting his brows. Could this âdaughterâ be Xiao Yu?
Nie Li had suspected that Xiao Yu was a woman, but he couldnât confirm it. He bitterly smiled as he thought about her flat chest. Back then, heâd thought that heâd confirmed that Xiao Yu was male!
The voice didnât seem too bothered by what Nie Li was thinking, as it said, âI do not know where that expert is, but I sense a powerful space-time aura from you.â
Nie Liâs body contained a powerful time-space aura? Could it be from the two remnant pages of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book? Or was it something else?
Nie Li stared into the void and asked, âIâd like to ask Senior, whatâs your motive for placing the Void Spiritual Array onto your daughterâs chest?â
The intent replied, âThrough this Void Spiritual Array, my wife and I have sealed our lifetimeâs worth of cultivation within our daughterâs bloodline. As time passes, our daughterâs bloodline will slowly awaken, and she will become an expert that surpasses even ourselves. However, she still wonât be strong enough to confront the Sage Emperor. We can only wait for that expert that have reached the pinnacle of the [Heavenâs Divination] technique!â
âI wonder⌠how can I help you?â Nie Li said after he considered the voiceâs words. The Void Spiritual Array had sucked his consciousness inside; that expert must have intended it to happen. He must have a motive behind it.
âI do not know of your origins, but I can sense that you have a more than ordinary relationship with my daughter,â the voice said.
*Cough* *cough*
Nie Li couldnât help feeling a little awkward. Just a little while ago, he didnât even know that Xiao Yu was a woman. Now that he knew, he couldnât help the awkwardness. Heâd touched Xiao Yuâs entire body!
âWell⌠weâre just really close friends.â Nie Li awkwardly smiled.
âSince youâre her close friend, Iâd like to entrust a matter to you,â the voice said.
âSenior, please speak. As long as itâs something I can accomplish, Iâll do my best!â Nie Li straightforwardly answered. After all, his relationship with Xiao Yu wasnât that bad. Earlier, heâd been saved by Xiao Yu. Heâd even touched her. If he couldnât agree to her fatherâs request, then heâd be too cruel and shameless.
