This Is What You've Said

Nie Li began giving a layout regarding the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array. After receiving Nie Li's instructions, Ye Xiu began preparing the variety of materials needed. The City Lord's Mansion became very busy. Some of the places were torn down, others had bricks laid down, and some places had inscription pattern drawn on them.

Aside from Ye Zong, Ye Xiu and a small amount of people, everyone else didn't even know what was going on in the City Lord's Mansion.

As the sky began to darken. The moon and the stars began to shine brightly.

Nie Li was strolling within the garden. Looking from afar, he could see a white dressed girl within the mercury moonlight, like a moonlit fairy. She stood still, and was shrouded in a white mist. Within the white mist, was a vague form of a humanoid demon spirit. That demon spirit wore white. It was extremely elegant and wore a crown on her head, like a queen.

This was Ye Ziyun's Snow Queen demon spirit!

As one who had devoured countless demon spirits and reached a God level growth rate, the Snow Queen's strength was extremely frightening. The yard was shrouded in a chilling air.

Although this chilled air seemed gentle, if Ye Ziyun attacked, this chilled air would form into biting cold ice blades.

Seeing this scene, Nie Li lightly smiled. The merging between Ye Ziyun and the Snow Queen was getting better and better. From the aura within the chilled wind, Nie Li could feel that Ye Ziyun had mastered at least two combat abilities. With those two combat abilities, plus her own cultivation, even a 3-star Gold rank Demon Spiritualist couldn't be her opponent.

Nie Li walked towards Ye Ziyun, feeling the soul force changes from Ye Ziyun.

At the corner of another small building, a figure was standing still. The moonlight was shining on his face. That person was Ye Ziyun's father, Ye Zong.

Ye Zong, at the moment, was unable to calm his surging emotions for a long time.

Previously, he had felt that Ye Ziyun's cultivation had been raised by a whole lot; furthermore, he didn't know where she had gotten a Snow Queen demon spirit from. He had never imagined that Ye Ziyun's cultivation would improve so rapidly. In the past, Ye Ziyun had always been letting him down. She had not inherited his powerful cultivation talent. She had had so many training resources and yet, she had still been unable to reach 1-star Bronze rank. Although she excelled a lot more compared to her peers, as the City Lord's daughter, it was far from enough.

But now, Ye Ziyun's cultivation speed was a little too frightening. From her soul force, Ye Zong could tell that Ye Ziyun's cultivation had already reached 5-star Silver rank. Furthermore, the Snow Queen that Ye Ziyun had integrated with seemed to be several times stronger than an ordinary Snow Queen demon spirit. If she were to engage in battle, even 1-star Gold rank Demon Spiritualists couldn't be her opponents!

Ye Zong was very confused. Although he was very busy and unable to even meet with his daughter for months due to work, he was still very concerned about Ye Ziyun. He had been well informed of her cultivation speed by Aunt Xue, who was in charge of taking care of Ye Ziyun. Sometime ago, she hadn't even reached 1-star Bronze rank. How was it that in just such a short amount of time, her cultivation had already reached 5-star Silver rank?

This was simply challenging his cognitive limit!

Such a talent even caused him to be ashamed. When he, himself, had gotten from 1-star Bronze rank to 5-star Silver rank, it had taken him several years time!

What made him even more shocked was that, among many demon spirits, the Snow Queen demon spirit was extremely powerful and rare. Within the entire Glory City, there were only a few dozen of them. Not to mention that Ye Ziyun's Snow Queen was very special. The chance of meeting such a powerful demon spirit was one in a million.

At the same time he was feeling shocked, he was also pleased with Ye Ziyun. No one other than him understood the situation of Glory City. Every moment, every second, there were dangers of destruction of the city. Continuously thinking of Glory City's situation caused him to be unable to sleep soundly. He was contributing without limit to Glory City, just to let his family and all the citizens of Glory City feel safe. As the daughter of the City Lord, there were many who would protect her, but she could only be truly safe when her cultivation was stronger.

He was also extremely happy that Ye Ziyun's cultivation had risen rose so fast. He recalled her mother, and those wrinkled eyes of his flashed with a few tears.

After Nie Li's previous matter, the awkwardness between father and daughter had yet to be resolved. They had already not spoken for a long time. He was prepared to take the initiative to have a chat with Ye Ziyun, to know more about his own daughter's heart matters. Just when he was about to step out, a figure entered his sight. That figure, was the currently walking Nie Li. Ye Zong's face immediately darkened and he snorted.

Nie Li had been butt naked in Ye Ziyun's room at that time, that was simply unforgivable. If it hadn't been for the person behind Nie Li, Ye Zong would've slapped Nie Li dead to the wall. In the end, not even a few days had passed before he was blackmailed by Nie Li with the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array.

For the overall benefit of Glory City, Ye Zong had no choice but to take a step back and let Nie Li live here. However, in order to be assured he wouldn't do anything to Ye Ziyun, Ye Zong decided to move here to monitor him. He was itching to kick Nie Li far away. Even though he was furious, he could only endure it. Afterall, Nie Li still needed to lay down the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array!

'I'll see what you are planning. If you dare to do anything to Ziyun, even at the risk of not having the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array, I'll have to fix you!' Ye Zong fiercely thought.

Ye Ziyun didn't seem to have noticed Ye Zong's presence. After all, Ye Zong was a Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualist. With his intention to conceal himself, it was extremely hard to be detected.

Feeling that someone was approaching, Ye Ziyun's eyelashes slightly moved and opened her eyes.

"It's you..." Seeing Nie Li, not knowing why, she felt some panic in her heart. Her cheeks flashed a hint of red. That shy look of hers made her even more charming.

"Good evening." Nie Li chuckled, winking towards Ye Ziyun.

"Why have you come….." Ye Ziyun lowered her head to avoid Nie Li's gaze. She unconsciously took a step back. Nie Li's presence made her nervous. After all, it was night and a boy and girl were alone in the yard. Ye Ziyun didn't dare to stay in her building in case Nie Li slipped in. In contrast, staying in the yard to practise allowed her to be a little at ease.

Nie Li stopped his tracks roughly three meters from Ye Ziyun. His keen senses felt an aura in the corner of the yard. The corner of his mouth couldn't help smiling. Even though Ye Zong could fool Ye Ziyun by hiding his aura, he couldn't escape from Nie Li!

"I just finished my meal, came out for a walk and saw you here training, so I came over." Nie Li said, smiling.

Ye Ziyun raised her head, looked at Nie Li and then lowered her head again. She sorrowly sighed and said, "Nie Li, I don't know what method you used to convince Uncle Ye Xiu to bring you here. But no matter what, let's not meet anymore in the future."

"What…...You don't want to see me?" Nie Li's face had a heartbroken expression, "Indeed, children of families like yours are indeed unwilling to be friends with commoners like me."

"That's not that case...." Seeing Nie Li's expression, Ye Ziyun immediately waved her hands and explained. She was kind hearted, naturally, she wasn't willing to let Nie Li be heartbroken. "Nie Li, although you're a little weird and a little.. too straightforward... I know that you're a kind person, whether to me or your other friends. Otherwise, you wouldn't help me like this. Although you would often come and bother me, I don't find you hateful at all. It's the opposite. I wished that you'd come and bother me. Because in this huge City Lord's Mansion, I would often feel a deep loneliness. Only Aunt Xue could talk to me. I once had a good friend, and that's Ning'er. But after that, she never came here anymore. Aside from her, you're my second good friend."

"But you understand this. My father will definitely not let us be together." Ye Ziyun sadly said.

Nie Li's eyes took a glance at the corner far away, coldly snorted and said, "I have to say, Ye Zong is not qualified to be a father. He puts you alone in this yard, makes you live alone and not even lets you have a friend to speak with. He doesn't deserve to be a father!"

Hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Zong, who was standing in the shadow, wasn't even a bit furious. Instead, a deep sadness and pain were showing in his eyes.

"Nie Li, I forbid you to say that about my father. He has no choice. As the City Lord of Glory City, his every decision concerns the safety of Glory City. He's also busy with many matters daily, therefore, he is unable to care for me. I have to train diligently, and become a powerful Demon Spiritualist to help Lord Father to share his burden. In the past, no matter how hard I tried, my cultivation would only slowly improve. Thanks to you..." Ye Ziyun gratefully looked at Nie Li. Nie Li's grace to her, she would use everything to return it.

Feeling that Ye Ziyun was about to say something she wasn't supposed to say, Nie Li waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention this anymore. Ye Zong is your father, naturally, you'll listen to him. Earlier on, he injured me. I still have to settle it with him! Giving you face, I shall not pursue that."

Ye Zong was choked with emotion after hearing what Ye Ziyun just said, but after hearing Nie Li's words, he immediately went furious. 'Who exactly was going to settle with who? You were in my daughter's room butt naked. You still have something to settle with me?'

Ye Zong could be considered to have experienced how shameless Nie Li was!

Nie Li smiled and said, "I'll be staying here awhile. Don't worry, your father won't do anything to me. He still needs me to help him lay down the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array. For the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array, he has already sold you to me."

"Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array, what's that?" Ye Ziyun widened her bright eyes.

Nie Li said, "The Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array is made from ten thousand Black Gold rank demon spirits and various inscription patterns. Once the laying down is complete, when it's activated, the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array will be able to stop even dozens of Legend rank Demon Spiritualists from attacking."

"So that's the case." Ye Ziyun stunned for a moment and said, "No wonder why my father agreed..."

"You've now seen your father's real face. For Glory City, he's willing to give up anything." Nie Li of course, did not forget to agitate the currently hidden Ye Zong a little and wickedly smiled within his heart.

Hearing Nie Li's words, anxiousness immediately covered Ye Zong's face. He naturally wouldn't sell his daughter just for a Ten Thousands Demonic Beast Array. He was just about to show himself and explain to Ye Ziyun, but then he saw Ye Ziyun's expression went stern. She raised her head and seriously, solemnly said, "Nie Li, if you are really able to lay down the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array for Glory City's safety, your contribution would be limitless. Even if my father…...I'll also have no complaints. Not to mention staying in my yard, if…...if this means making me your girlfriend, I'll also agree." Ye Ziyun's cheeks slightly reddened, but had a firm look on her face.

Nie Li looked at Ye Ziyun. his heart was filled with softness. Like father like daughter. For Glory City, they were willing to sacrifice themselves. He chuckled and said, "This is what you said, you can't go back on your words."
