Chapter 14 Sacred Family!

- And you... Just take your medicine and rest. The better you recover before learning the technique, the stronger your foundation will be," Xi Yu said, looking at Xiao Ning'er.

- Um... Don't I need to become a 1st Bronze Star Warrior? My illness is not related to the physical body, you said that it is related to Spiritual Energy... - Xiao Ning'er asked incomprehensibly.

"The technique that I will give you will develop you both as a warrior and as a Demon Summoner at the same time. Therefore, you don't need to do anything, just rest," Xi Yu explained.

- Um... I see. Tell Xi Yu, can I see the real you? Without disguise..." Xiao Ning'er asked shyly.

- No. Although I merged with a human, my racial traits remained with me. This is an unsightly sight for a person..." Xi Yu replied. He himself became nervous, not knowing how Xiao Ning'er would react to his inhuman features, such as horns and tail.

"I don't care what you look like, I'm just curious... But if you don't want to, I won't insist," Xiao Ning'er said timidly, she herself didn't know where such a desire came from in her.

"Then you'll become a Silver Demon Whisperer and I'll show you my real appearance, okay?" - Xi Yu said, deciding that sooner or later he would still have to, but not now.

"Um... it will take several years," Xiao Ning'er answered sadly.

- Ha ha ha. Are you kidding? With my technique, it will take half a year if you become as lazy as Lu Piao! - Xi Yu replied laughing.

- Really? - Xiao Ning'er asked in disbelief.

- Have I ever lied to you? Okay, see you tomorrow at school, bye - Xi Yu replied.

- On learning? You said that there is nothing to do at the Institute, then why do you go there yourself? - Xiao Ning'er asked incomprehensibly.

- I was interested in one person in our class, whom I'm still looking at.

- Yes? Who is this? - Xiao Ning'er asked interestedly.

"Ye Ziyun," Xi Yu answered briefly as he and Xiao Ning'er walked towards the exit of the Institute.

"..." Hearing Ye Ziyun's name, Xiao Ning'er was overcome by an unknown feeling that she had never experienced before. The mood deteriorated, and anxiety appeared in my heart.

- Do you like her? - Xiao Ning'er asked.

- Hmm... Outwardly, yes. But I don't really know what kind of person she is, from Nie Li's memories she is a Saint. But I know that love is blind to the shortcomings of a loved one. Therefore, I cannot rely on Nie Li's judgment. I need to figure out for myself what kind of person she is. When I transferred to your class, I really liked Shen Xiu's appearance. But knowing what kind of person she is at heart... In my eyes, she is no better than dirt. You can't evaluate only appearance, appearance can be corrected, but the core of a person cannot be corrected," Xi Yu answered, thinking about Ye Han.

"I see... Well, I'll go, see you tomorrow," Xiao Ning'er answered, and after saying goodbye she went towards the house. Not understanding why her mood was so bad.

"Why am I so annoyed? This feeling appeared when Xi Yu said Ye Ziyun's name, but I don't have any enmity with her. Then why am I so angry... This can't be... No! I've never even seen his appearance... Is appearance really important, in my life filled with darkness, he is the first person who extended a helping hand to me... Have I really fallen in love with Xi Yu?" - Xiao Ning'er stopped in shock.

"No, this can't be... We've known each other for two days... But, this feeling... And Ye Ziyun... Am I really jealous of Xi Yu for Ye Ziyun? No, how come, I'm not that kind of girl... But I don't want to lose Xi Yu... Even if it's not love, I definitely like him. Okay, let's put this off until later, we need to take medicine and a healing herbal bath," thought Xiao Ning'er and quickened her pace and rushed home.

Main hall. Sacred Family.

Shen Hong, the Head of the Sacred Family, sat majestically on the throne.

- Sir, a child named Zhu Xi Yu appeared in my class. He approaches Xiao Ning'er, Shen Fei's fiancée, and wounds Shen Yue's nephew. But when I went to complain, Ye Zong himself appeared and forbade me from any actions towards Zhu Xi Yu. What do i do? - Shen Xiu reported to the head of the family, standing on one knee in front of the throne.

- This Ye Zong... He probably sheltered another rootless mongrel like Ye Han. But the fact that this Zhu Xi Yu has his eye on Xiao Ning'er is bad... We need to absorb the Winged Dragon Family as quickly as possible, 13 years is the minimum age for marriage. Send Shen Yang to the Winged Dragon Family, he will force them to arrange a wedding in 3 days by any means. Tell Shen Ming to take care of all the ceremonies for 3 days, we cannot lose the Winged Dragon Family," Shen Hong said in a calm voice.

"It will be done," Shen Xiu answered and got up and went to fulfill her father's will.

Main Hall, Winged Dragon Family.

In the hall, the elders were sitting on chairs, and at the head sat Xiao Ning'er's father, Xiao Yunfeng, the Head of the Winged Dragon Family.

- Why did you come with respected Shen Yang? - Xiao Yunfeng said politely.

- The head demands an engagement between Xiao Ning'er and Shen Fen in 3 days. I was sent to notify you..." Shen Yang said with contempt in his eyes. He was offended that his Steel Rank Demon Cultivator was sent to some pathetic Gold Rank to negotiate on such a minor matter.

As soon as Xiao Yi heard what Shen Yang said, his eyes lit up in anticipation that he would finally be able to take over as the Head of the Family. Even if it was just a daughter family of the Sacred Family, he would still gain a lot. Subtly signaling to the servant to call Xiao Ning'er, the corners of his lips turned up.

Xiao Yunfeng's face darkened at this time, his biggest regret in life was that he could not protect his loved ones. Every time the topic of Xiao Ning'er comes up, he remembers the face of his late wife, and he is filled with feelings of guilt and despair. But no matter how hard he tried, no matter what he came up with, he could not think of a way to resist such a powerful family as the Sacred Family.

"But it's still early, we didn't agree..." Xiao Yunfeng tried to say, but was interrupted.

"You should be honored that your daughter will marry into our Sacred Family." Xiao Yunfeng, don't test my patience, this is the order of the head," Xiao Yunfeng interrupted Shen Yang indignantly. Releasing the pressure of the Steel Demon Summoner on him, causing Xiao Yunfeng to fall from his chair and be crushed by the pressure. "FATHER," Xiao Ning'er, who ran into the hall, exclaimed, running up to her father and helping him get up. "Oh, you must be Xiao Ning'er, the bride of Young Master Shen Fen..." Shen Yang was interrupted without finishing, causing the veins on his temples to stand out in anger

- I'm not his fiancee! I didn't agree to this! Xiao Ning'er said coldly.

"In 3 days, you must marry Shen Fen, the invitations have already been sent out and all the ceremonial matters have begun, and if you refuse, it will tarnish the reputation of our Sacred Family and then... Your entire Winged Dragon Family will be destroyed!" "I conveyed the will of the Head, get ready for the holiday," Shen Yang said with a malicious smile, enjoying how Xiao Ning'er's face turned pale and despair was reflected in her eyes.

The next day, Saint Orchid Institute.

There was a hubbub in the classroom, teenagers were talking to each other. And Ye Ziyun kept casting worried glances at the sad Xiao Ning'er. She was haunted by the condition of Xiao Ning'er, whose eyes were red as if she had been crying all night.

Suddenly, there was deathly silence in the class, and the bodies of some classmates trembled in fear. Almost the entire class stopped breathing, the expression on the faces of their classmates was as if they had seen a Monster. Which can eat them at any moment. Even the always daring Shen Yue, upon seeing Xi Yu, tightened his neck and trembled all over. But noticing that Ye Ziyun, sitting next to her, paid attention to this, he turned away bashfully. He had never experienced such fear as yesterday, although he recovered, irreparable damage was caused to his psyche.

Ye Ziyun also glanced at Xi Yu, but she was still very worried about Xiao Ning'er. She wanted to come up and ask, "How are you?", but she was afraid that this would only displease Xiao Ning'er. As children, they were best friends who shared everything, but after that ill-fated day, Xiao Ning'er closed her heart and didn't let anyone else in except Xi Yu...

"I wonder what kind of relationship they have? Xiao Ning'er couldn't possibly fall in love with this strange guy, right?" - Ye Ziyun thought, looking interestedly at Xiao Ning'er and Zhu Xi Yu.

- Hello, Ning'er! - Xi Yu greeted without paying attention to anyone, taking a place next to Xiao Ning'er.

"Hello, Xi Yu..." said Xiao Ning'er, forcing out a smile and trying to hold back tears.

- Something happened? You don't look well... Has your illness worsened? - Xi Yu asked in a concerned voice.

- N-no, everything is fine. I just didn't sleep well... - Xiao Ning'er lied, looking away, she didn't want to drag Xi Yu into her problems. If he had his previous Legendary Rank with him, she might have complained, but since he is now only Bronze Rank...

"Here you go, this is a great recipe for a good night's sleep," Xi Yu wrote the recipe and passed it to Xiao Ning'er. He immediately realized that something had happened, but since she didn't say anything, it was better to find out for himself.

- Um... Thank you - thanking Xiao Ning'er, accepting the recipe.

Then Shen Xiu came in and looked at Zhu Xi Yu strangely and began the lesson. The lessons passed at a calm pace and lunch arrived.

- Xi Yu, I prepared breakfast for you here. I didn't know what you liked, so I made a little of everything," Xiao Ning'er said, handing Xi Yu a lunch box.

Xiao Ning'er made this breakfast because she wanted to somehow thank Xi Yu for treating her. Since the entire class was still dead silent, their classmates clearly heard what Xiao Ning'er said. What shocked them to the core, Xiao Ning'er, their goddess prepared breakfast for this Monster! Some felt jealousy and envy, but remembering the incident with Xi Yu yesterday, their whole body shook with fear. As for Xiao Ning'er, she always acted as she saw fit, and the opinions of others never interested her.

- Thank you, umm... What is this? Delicious! - Xi Yu said while trying a beautiful fish-flavored roll.

- You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it. This is the "Emerald Roll" with Ophtus fish and spinach. Since you like it so much, I can cook it for you every day! - Xi Yu's praise lifted Xiao Ning'er's spirits.

They began to chat about various topics, and the whole class was their spectator, but no one dared to show even a bit of indignation or interrupt. And Ye Ziyun watched their interaction with fascination, they were immersed in their own world, completely oblivious to the others. Ye Ziyun was glad that Xiao Ning'er's mood had returned to normal.

Evening. Zhu Xi Yu Mansion.

- Ayane, what news did you collect today? - Xi Yu asked, standing in the garden and practicing the stances and techniques of martial arts, from the knowledge received from Nie Li.

- If you remove all the useless information, then there is only one news in Svetozar today. The Gong Yue family received some unrivaled treasure from the depths of some dark ruins," Ayane said without much interest. She showed no interest in the treasures of such pitiful creatures as humans. Ayane was sure that if she gave them one Spiritual Stone, they would consider it a heavenly treasure...

"Gong Yue family... Treasure... I remember something..." Xi Yu muttered thoughtfully.

- Ahhh... exactly!!! Pot of Nightmare Demons! Great! I need this treasure! - Xi Yu said excitedly.

"This treasure will be mine... Even Nie Li didn't know everyone's function, but for that I know! It's not for nothing that I spent 70 years in the library... He simply hoped for luck... Although if he had a Demonic Beast like Ayane, perhaps he would have revealed all its secrets," Xi Yu thought in anticipation.

- Should I bring it to you, Your Highness? - Ayane asked incomprehensibly. Wondering what could have excited her Master so much.

"Well... we're not thieves... Take 50 Spiritual Stones and replace them with the Pot of Nightmare Demons." It should look like a black jade pot emitting an Aura that enhances the Demon Spirit," Xi Yu said while describing the Nightmare Demon Pot to Ayane.

- An aura that enhances the Demon Spirit? - Ayane asked in surprise, already preparing to visit the Gong Yue Family. - Yes. Go and leave no traces, cut it down, replace the pot with Spiritual Stones, and come back - Xi Yu instructed Ayane. "Yes, Your Highness," Ayane said and disappeared. After 15 min.

- Yes, it's him! What a refreshing Aura..." Xi Yu said as he looked at the Nightmare Demon Pot.

- Your Highness, what is this treasure? - Ayane asked interestedly, she was also attracted by the Aura of the pot.

"This treasure is called the Nightmare Demon Pot." You can put 10 Demon Spirits with the same growth rate into it, and get a Demon Spirit with a higher growth rate - Xi Yu explained without going into detail.

- H-how is this possible? Does such a treasure exist? - Ayane asked excitedly.
