Chapter 15 Xiao Ning'er's Wedding

The growth rate of Demonic Beasts is like a talent that determines the limits of their potential. Ayane is stuck at the 5th Heavenly Fate Star simply because she has an ordinary Demon Spirit with an Excellent growth rate. If her growth rate were Outstanding, she could already reach the Celestial Star Realm, and maybe even the Celestial Axis Realm! Grandma, like Xi Yu's mother, has the Demon Spirit of Divine Growth Rate and is in the realm of the Dragon Dao! But they would never be able to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm due to the fact that their Demon Spirit was without Draconic Bloodline.

"If my experiment succeeds... Perhaps Ayana will not need to merge with a person through the Race Absorption and Assimilation Technique. And I will be able to help all members of my family... Okay, let's put this off for later, but now we need to press on absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Stones. I'm almost at the 4th Star... And as soon as I break through to the Silver Rank..." Xi Yu thought in anticipation, hid the Pot of Nightmare Demons in the ring and took out the Spiritual Stones with redoubled zeal and continued to increase Spiritual Energy.

With the Demon Soul Vessel, Xi Yu did not need to meditate, his cultivation techniques would automatically absorb Spiritual Energy. But he could speed up the development a little by using his Spiritual Energy and penetrating the Spiritual Stones with it. In normal mode, he could absorb only 2-3% of the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Stone, and if he helped the process with his Spiritual Energy, then the% reached 4! The problem was that the Spiritual Stones contained Heavenly Energy, which was Energy of a higher order.

It consisted of many varieties of low-order Energy types, compressed and assimilated into a single whole, thereby creating a completely new type of Energy called Heavenly Energy! The Spiritual Stone only contains no more than 5% of Spiritual Energy, and Xi Yu could not absorb all other types of Energy at his Rank. So the fact that with effort he could absorb as much as 4% of Spiritual Energy, separating it from the mixture of different types of Energy that made up the Heavenly Energy. It was already considered an achievement

which no one could boast of. He succeeded only thanks to the properties of the Demon Soul Vessel and the knowledge of Heavenly Energy from Nie Li's memory.

The next day, midnight Saint Orchid Institute Training Ground.

In the middle of the forest, in a clearing flooded with moonlight, stood Xiao Ning'er. She was wearing a beautiful dress with Dragons embroidered on it.

"Hello," Xi Yu's voice was heard from behind the bushes, and he himself came out behind the voice.

"I already thought that you forgot..." Xiao Ning'er said overjoyed at the sight of Xi Yu.

- Ahh... is that really what you think of me? How could I? The value of a person's word determines the value of himself, isn't it? - Xi Yu said in a feigned saddened tone.

- Ah... N-no, I was just joking, I don't have a bad opinion of you. It's just a joke! - Xiao Ning'er convinced Xi Yu, panicked.

"Haha... Calm down, I know you were joking, I was joking too," Xi Yu answered smiling, touched by Xiao Ning'er's panicky behavior.

- Okay, let's get started, but first... COME OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! Xi Yu exclaimed after sensing the vitality of a person 100 meters away from Xiao Ning'er.

- Puppy, you're great, how were you able to detect me? Are you Xiao Ning'er's classmate? You're not even Bronze Rank yet, while I'm already at the peak of Silver! - a middle-aged man said coming out from behind the bushes.

"Elder Xiao Ling?" Why are you here? - Xiao Ning'er asked excitedly, afraid that Elder Lin would talk too much.

"Brother Xiao Yi sent me, he was worried that someone would want to harm Ning'er." I'm here to protect you from... - Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ling noticed that the boy was missing.

And not even a second had passed after the discovery of the loss, when severe pain pierced Xiao Ling's ribs. And he himself felt his body being lifted off the ground. Xi Yu, drawing his sword, without hesitating for a second, swung it at the neck of Elder Ling, who had not yet managed to land, with one sharp and precise movement of the sword, separating the head from the body.

Everything happened so quickly and unexpectedly that even Ayane was shocked. After all, Xi Yu had just broken through to the 4 Star Bronze, and his opponent was the 5 Star Silver Demon Cultivator! She knew that her Master was not inferior to anyone at the same level. But she never thought that Xi Yu could so easily kill a person who was more than a whole step above him. But considering the fact that his opponent was a mediocrity who did not expect an attack at all, and also did not have time to merge with the Demon Spirit... Ayane still considered that this was acceptable.

"Xi... Xi Yu, why did you kill Elder Xiao Ling?" - Xiao Ning'er asked in shock. She didn't feel sorry for this henchman Xiao Yi, but due to the surprise of this turn of events, she was still discouraged by Xi Yu's actions.

- The technique that I practice allows me to sense people with evil intentions. And this Xiao Ling had evil intentions towards me, if I had not attacked first, he would have merged with the Demon Spirit and the battle would have still happened... - Xi Yu said.

After which, using one of the techniques associated with fire, Xi Yu incinerated the corpse of the dead elder.

- I will not underestimate an enemy who wants me dead, if there is a way to quickly get rid of the enemy, I will certainly use it. And I myself was wondering if he could do anything to counter an unexpected attack? You may be angry with me, but I will still never spare people who want to take my life. Remember Xiao Ning'er, by showing mercy to the enemy you are being cruel to yourself and your loved ones! This Xiao Yi clearly has bad intentions... Well, it doesn't matter now, let's start the treatment? - Xi Yu said, sitting in the lotus position, waiting for Xiao Ning'er to place his bruised leg on his lap for a massage.

"Ah... Y-yes," Xiao Ning'er said and sat down opposite Xi Yu, placing her leg on his thigh.

Gently touching Xiao Ning'er's fragile leg, which Xi Yu considered almost a work of art that one could not stop admiring. He activated the Daoyin technique and began to carefully massage the almost faded bruise. And Xiao Ning'er silently watched his concentrated expression. Not knowing if he looks concentrated because of the disguise, or if he also has the same concentrated expression underneath it. Oddly enough, she was no longer so ashamed to treat the bruise under her ribs, without noticing it herself, unconsciously Xiao Ning'er unconsciously accepted the fact that Xi Yu could be seen and touched in such intimate places.

"By showing mercy to the enemy... You are cruel to yourself and your loved ones... What a pity that my father did not finish off Xiao Yi when he was plotting against him because of the post of head, but instead showed mercy. .. If only it weren't for Xiao Yi, this damned engagement might not have happened either... Tomorrow is the wedding day, and after the ceremony in the marriage bed, I will commit suicide... So I will keep my word to the Sacred Family, and all my torment will finally end... I've already decided everything... So why, being next to Xi Yu, I don't want to part with him so much.

I still have feelings for him... How funny, all this... When I had nothing worth living for, I had a chance to show my talent and get rid of the engagement. And when I met the person for whom I wanted to live, I had to die..." thought Xiao Ning'er, after which she felt a tear run down her cheek.

After quietly wiping her cheek, Xiao Ning'er was worried that Xi Yu might notice, but when she saw his concentrated face, she relaxed. She did not want more than anything in the world to cause trouble, much less Xi Yu's death. If the Sacred Family sees Xi Yu as a stain on their reputation... He won't have a chance to grow in the future, and she won't be able to forgive herself...

Xi Yu naturally noticed Xiao Ning'er wiping a tear from her cheek. With his heightened senses, he simply could not help but notice this, even though he was absorbed in other parts of her body. But he didn't show it. Since Xiao Ning'er was putting so much effort into hiding it from him, he decided not to create awkward situations, but to find out what was going on himself.

"Why is she crying? What could have happened to her? Yes, and yesterday she was not in an important mood... We need to assign Ayane to her... - Xi Yu thought, and his intuition told him that this was not a trivial matter that could be left to chance.

Xi Yu was not pleased and even a little painful to see Xiao Ning'er like this. He promised himself that as soon as he found out the cause of her suffering, he would uproot it!

Time passed very quickly, and since both were immersed in their thoughts, they did not even notice how the treatment came to an end. Both Xi Yu and Xiao Ning'er did not want to part, but Xiao Ning'er was afraid that she might do something stupid by staying alone with him even longer, and Xi Yu wanted to find out and quickly deal with the difficulties that made Xiao Ning'er cry . So they reluctantly said goodbye and went their separate ways, looking back at the retreating Xi Yu. Xiao Ning'er whispered:

- What a pity that we didn't meet earlier... Then everything could have ended differently... - after which, struggling with bitterness and reluctance, Xiao Ning'er turned around and left. She didn't want to die, and she was scared, but just imagining what kind of hell her life would turn into if Shen Fei raped her on her wedding night horrified her. And the thought of mistaking this vile man for her beloved did not even occur to her.

But she didn't know that for 5 Sense Monsters like Xi Yu and Ayane, her whisper sounded as loud and intelligible as a normal conversation.

- Your Highness... What's wrong with Xiao Ning'er? - Ayane asked worriedly and incomprehensibly after Xiao Ning'er went home.

She did not expect that she would become so attached to such a weak person. But every time Xiao Ning'er found something to surprise her. Cooked breakfast for her master... She doesn't complain, no matter how bad she feels, doesn't ask for help, she bears all the hardships on her small fragile shoulders, while crying alone... Having problems, Xiao Ning'er doesn't talk about them to anyone , so as not to drag strangers into your troubles... Even now, unable to bear it and crying in front of Xi Yu, she wiped away her tears so that he would not notice.

Ayane didn't think this behavior was right, but there was something attractive about him... Something about these stupid actions made Ayane's heart fill with respect for little Xiao Ning'er.

"I don't know either, I asked yesterday, but she didn't say... Go get Xiao Ning'er and find out what happened to her and tell me." Even if it's something personal, I want to help in some way," Xi Yu ordered, still in a thoughtful state.

"As you wish, Your Highness," Ayane answered without objection, and even with a little impatience, after which she immediately followed Xiao Ning'er.

Ayane was not worried about Xi Yu's safety, because under his clothes, he was wearing a whole set of grade 9 armor. Even if someone in the realm of the Dragon Dao wanted to harm her master, they would be unlikely to succeed.

Late at night. Xi Yu Mansion.

"Sir, I found out the reason..." Ayane said, appearing in the room, Xi Yu, who was currently cultivating while sitting on the bed.

- Tell me, what is the reason? - Xi Yu asked, not understanding why Ayane was hesitating.

"T-It's my fault..." Ayane said, lowering her head with remorse.

- What is your fault? Are you making Xiao Ning'er cry? - Xi Yu asked again, completely confused.

"I... Yesterday I heard the news that Xiao Ning'er had been worried all this time... But I considered it unimportant because I didn't know which family Xiao Ning'er belonged to..." with shame and remorse Ayane answered, lowering her head even lower.

She could not even imagine that information about the wedding of some two families could be of interest to her master, for this reason she did not mention it. Who would have thought that someone encroached on her Master's chosen one...

- Ayane, stop turning your minor mistakes into global disasters... Come on, tell me, what kind of news is that? - Xi Yu said sighing.

"Tomorrow, at 8 am, Xiao Ning'er is marrying Shen Fe..." Before Ayane could finish speaking, a stunned exclamation was heard.

- WHAT? - Xi Yu exclaimed, jumped from the bed to his feet and froze in complete shock and disbelief!

He could not even imagine that his small interventions here and there could lead to such a drastic turn of events... What if he had not found out about this today? Knowing Xiao Ning'er, she would have committed suicide... The girl who was in her previous life entered the Forest of Darkness. From which not a single living soul has yet returned, and the mortality rate is 99.9999999%. She certainly would not have dutifully married a man who was disgusting to her; she would definitely prefer death! Xiao Ning'er has always resembled Xi Yu, a noble knight in character.

"This shouldn't have happened... Is it because of me? But why? What did I do that I didn't do, Nie Li? Injured Shen Yue? There were no consequences, which means Ye Mo or rather Ye Zong settled everything... And it had to reach Shen Hong... Me, my relationship with Ye Zong and Xiao Ning'er... Shen Hong wants the Winged Dragon Family. .. Clearly, I didn't think about it myself," Xi Yu, lost in thought, began to think about the consequences of his actions.

"Your Highness, should I destroy the Shen Family?" - asked Ayane, wanting to get rid of the annoying insects once and for all.

"Their death will harm Xiao Ning'er's future development, and Shen Fei is not worthy of death at all..." Xi Yu simply explained.

- What? How could their death harm Xiao Ning'er? - Ayane asked in bewilderment.
