19 Chapter 19

It was the morning of a new day. Ye Qi didn't sleep at all since he came here yesterday. That wasn't because he can stay awake for a month straight without getting tired. That's because he needed to release his frustration.

*Muah* *Slurp*

Ye Ziyun was in his courtyard, inside of his home. She noticed that Ye Qi was more savage than usual. Ye Qi was enjoying her smell and astonishing beauty as he was kissing her nonstop, with his hands caressing around her curves.

Ye Ziyun, who was a timid girl and like to play with the rules, felt excited about what she is doing. While blushing, her tongue was dancing with Ye Qi. It felt great. The way he is kissing her has exactly shown how much he has missed her, and she could feel a bulge hitting against her stomach. Although she knew she should wait for the wedding, she couldn't help but feeling excited while doing so.

A little bit of foreplay doesn't harm anyone.

Ye Qi pulled his mouth back and stared at Ye Ziyun. The girl was blushing, and she breathes were cut in half. As a full mature girl, her body language showed signs that she is getting into this.

"Ahem, let's do." Ye Ziyun, who was 14, let her lips closer, yet Ye Qi stopped her by putting his finger on her lips.

"Someone is coming."

As a Golden rank Demon Spiritualist, Ye Qi could prospect his surroundings. And he could feel an overprotective father approaching them.

The door was slammed open.

"What are you doing!" Came Ye Zong's voice as he entered.

He saw Ye Ziyun's face blushing. His daughter was sitting cross-legged, while Ye Qi was standing and looking at her.

Ye Ziyun opened her eyes and looked at her dad, who was in his turn staring at Ye Qi while applying pressure.

"Since I was in the heavenly domain, I have learnt many things. So I wanted to help Ye Ziyun advance in her cultivation." Ye Qi said.

"Oh." Ye Zong

"Dad, You barely give me attention or guide me as you have done to Ye Han. Brother Ye Qi was helping me. I was just about breaking through." Ye Ziyun said with an upset tone. She didn't lie. 'Through his tongue.'

Ye Zong saw her honest, and he looked at Ye Qi. "Be sure not to embarrass us at the apprentice test."

"Mm.." Ye Qi nodded. "By the way, Ancestor Ye Yan says hi to you. And he's blessing our wedding."

"Really." Ye Zong seemed to get a happiness boost when he had heard that. Ye Zong was very proud of his family and respect his ancestors. If Ye Yan tells him to throw himself from a mountain, he would do that.

"Who?" Ye Ziyun said.

"Something about the test of the Sacred Heavenly Border. A secret of those who have passed the test." Ye Zong explained as he turned. "Anyway, prepare to go to the institute. And Ye Qi, don't you ever close the door when my daughter is with you, not until the wedding. Understood?"

"Yes, uncle." Ye Qi nodded with a chuckle. "I just feared that someone would disturb her cultivation's process."

Ye Zong just nodded and left. Once he got away, Ye Ziyun and Ye Qi laughed slightly. The two naughty teenagers felt a sigh of relief when they had tricked Ye Zong.

"We should go." Ye Qi said. "We'll continue kissing at Night."

"Mmm…" Ye Ziyun said as she got up. "Today, I will prove that Ye Yan isn't the best one in the city or the family." Ye Ziyun was excited to show how far she went in her cultivation.

Ye Qi knew that she got her cultivation method earlier. And with the treasure and alchemy pills, she should be at least at the peak of Bronze rank. He wondered what level Ning'er has reached.

Ning'er had the amulet as well and she was more hardworking than Ye Ziyun. But Ning'er probably won't surpass her, not for now, since Ye Ziyun started earlier.

Well, it would be nice to see their progression.

-x-X-x-

Ye Qi has gone to the institute along with Ye Ziyun. Today was the test for the apprentice classes. The test would determine the potentials of the students and evaluate their progression as fighter and demon spiritualists. After that, they would go to one of the advanced classes depending on what they show; fighter class, demon spiritualists' such as inscriptions class. And of course, the genius class.

Ye Qi was walking alongside his group, with his fiancee and Ning'er, who was looking at him.

Ye Qi was focusing his eyes on the leading figure, Shen Xiu's. He checked her out and gave her an emotional glance.

Shen Xiu, with her curvy hips swaying, guiding the class to the corners of a big field: the test yard.

"You stay there with your group. Once the other class finish, it would be your turn."

Her eyes met with Ye Qi's as she said that, and her pupils shook for a brief. Her expression went normal again. Ye Qi only let a gentle smile, and she only turned her head.

Once Ye Qi was about to leave with the rest, she pointed at him with her finger and said slightly. "You stay here." Ye Qi obeyed and let everyone go to their spot while staying behind with Shen Xiu, behind everyone else.

"Shen Xiu." Ye Qi approached her.

"You have finally shown up." Shen Xiu said as if pretending that she was ignorant of where he has been.

"I couldn't hide more. Not that the day of the bet finally came."

Shen Xiu turned her head, let a sigh, before looking at him again.

"Where have you been?"

"Cultivating in isolation." Ye Qi said, making eye contact with her.

"I know where you have been." Shen Xiu approached him and opened her arms. Her lips twitched for a second.

Ye Qi found his eyes were faced by two big breasts, each as big as his head or more. Shen Xiu wrapped her arm around his head, and brought it closer to her chest, before giving him a strong hug.

"You stupid little brat! You don't have to risk your destroy your soul realm for me." Shen Xiu's voice was quite emotional here.

Ye Qi just wrapped his arms around her waist. He was both aroused and heart touched. He could feel the feelings she was conveying through this.

"You shouldn't care about winning a bet or anything. You still have life in front of you." As a woman, Shen Xiu's thoughts all of the last weeks were about him, and how he had risked his life to enter the boards for a woman who gave up hopes on relationships. Just thinking about him had made her heart beat faster and faster. And she had realised, that she loves him.

"I'm not winning a bet, I'm winning you." Ye Qi's voice came between her breasts. To Ye Qi, he was in what felt like heaven; A place where he feels secure, belonging, and find his comfort.

"You're just too young to understand." Murmuring, Shen Xiu patted the back of his head slightly. Ye Qi closed his eyes in the chest of the crimson-haired woman before she opened her arms and let him go.

Ye Qi looked up as if he was pulled out of heaven.

Shen Xiu's face became normal again, not showing any kind of emotions or anything. Before Ye Qi could say anything, she pointed with her finger behind him.

"Go and have your test." She said.

'Geez, how can she control her facial expression like this.'

Ye Qi made eye contact for some seconds, before sighing. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned and said.

"The bet is still on. Prepare for the wedding."

Shen Xiu made a silly smile on her face as she couldn't help it.

Ye Qi is just like her; he is too prideful to admit defeat.

"Whatever," she said as she turned and left for the spectres chairs, where the schools teachers and elders are watching all.

Ye Qi walked back to his ground and stood up next to Ning'er and the others.

Ning'er looked at Ye Qi, her face showing excitement. Before Ye Qi could say anything, she leaned forward and whispered. "Ye Qi."

Ye Qi raised his eyebrows when the hot breath from her mouth hit his ear. It aroused his instincts. Since he had been in the heavenly borders for weeks, Ye Qi became more sensitive to the women.

"Thanks to you, I'm going to control my fate. My family, won't bother me with marriage anymore." Ning'er, happy, wanted him to know this first.

"For real?"Qi turned to her.

Ye Ziyun suddenly grabbed his hand and transmitted her voice to him.

"You should focus on our wedding before you focus on hers. Now, look forward. Our turns."

"Right." Ye Qi transmitted his voice back to her while still hearing whispers from Ning'er.

"Alright, show me what you got." Ye Qi said as he gave Ning'er and Ye Ziyun's backs a pat. Both of the girls nodded.

Very soon, an elder in the middle announced their class's turn. In the middle of the testing field, there were two devices. One large transparent crystal was as big as a student. This should test their soul force's amount, and thus their rank. The other was a punching machine with a counter behind it, which would show their strength as fighters.

The test has started and the first one who was called to proceed was Shen Yue, Ye Qi's future nephew. At first, he was given three punches at the strength measuring machine. Shen Yue's results' average was 100 jin, approximately 50 kilogrammes. Which, eventually, meant that he is a bronze rank fighter.

It was a natural thing for the other students. Shen Yue was used to drinking expensive elixirs ever he was young. And given how much his family are wealthy, Shen Yue could enjoy the expensive pills and elixirs from the Snow Wind Family. And thus, his cultivation speed has been increased. When he measured his soul force, it was 100.

It was an amazing result, yet expected from someone who is as talented as he's. Shen Yue could see his aunt nodding with approval.

Shen Yue then looked at Ye Qi with a sneer. That sneer should tell Ye Qi that Shen Yue is growing stronger. And one day, the spiritualist would claim a fighter like Ye Qi. Meeting with his eyes, Ye Qi ignored Shen Yue and looked past his shoulder, to Shen Xiu, who was looking at him as well.

Then it came the turn of the others. The students had an average of 10-50 when it came to soul force. The others, who happened to be commoner without resources or fancy cultivation method and yet didn't even reach a good rank as a fighter

Nie Lie, in this life, had 20 jin on the punching machine and 6 soul force. Surely, his life would be better if he has trained his physical body.

On the other hand, the commoners who had taken the harsh words of Shen Xiu has achieved 60-70 on the punching machine. At least, one should know where to try to improve. It's not necessary for one to notice his or her weaknesses, but strong point.

Still, on average, these results were satisfying.

Then it came the girls' turn.

Xiao Ning'er stepped ahead, to the punching machine, clenched her fist, and created a very strong punch. Her punching power scored 400 Jin, (200 kg), as strong as a 4th rank fighter.

Ye Qi's lightning attribute cultivation method has helped her a lot. That cultivation method can be described as the peak method of what humans can discover in this world.

Shen Xiu and the others opened their eyes widely at her. Even Ning'er was shocked at herself as she looked at her fist. No one believed that a slender girl who is beautiful like a flower has such strength in her arms. One of the schools' elders came to check out the machine.

Once it was confirmed that it was fine, Ning'er had an average punching strength of 410, which made everyone almost think she is going to be a great fighter.

However, that wasn't the biggest surprise. As she measured her soul force, it has shown 600. It was shocking that a green realm young girl can have such rank. It's the peak of the Bronze Rank.

It was no secret to Ning'er that it was all thanks to the treasure that Ye Qi had left to her. With such cultivation speed, she would be able to take even the patriarch seat in the future with ease. She will be able to cancel the engagement and no one can stop her.

Ning'er walked back to her original spot and stared at Ye Qi, who gave her a thumb up.

Ye Qi was thinking. 'Her cultivation method was created quite earlier. After I have gotten more experience from other cultivation method creators, I think I can improve her method a bit.'

When Ning'er stood beside him, Ye Ziyun walked to be tested.

"What do you think." Ning'er asked, she and Ye Qi's bodies were covered by the students'.

"You did great, I'm proud of you."

Ye Qi sneaked his hand slightly and held her hand. Xiao Ning'er opened her eyes widely, feeling a breeze on her skin before she wrapped her hand around his.

"Thank you." She turned and looked at his face, before smiling and looking forward.

Ye Ziyun was just done from the punching test.

Her results made the others unaware of the hand holding that Ye Qi and Ning'er were having. Y

e Ziyun, just now, had the average of 500 at punching force.

When it came to measuring the soul force, she scored a shocking score. 720. It was so shocking. Even Ning'er was shocked that the girl she used to consider rival was a step ahead of her.

Ye Qi felt that as her hand clenched tightly around his. He, who had 10.000 in his soul force, was the only one who didn't show surprise. Ye Qi was on a level that considered 100 times stronger than all of them, except for the Dark Gold elders who are here.

More couple of students tried to show strength. The average didn't change, and most of them didn't even reach the bronze rank. It was a natural duo to their cultivation method and families' limited money and resources.

"Ye Qi; next!"

The elder who was managing the test announced.

Shen Xiu no longer could hold her eyes and gave him an emotional glance. While she watched him making his way to the punching machine, her heart beat faster and faster. However, anyone near to her would think that she is so calm.

Clenching his fist, Ye Qi cracked his fingers, and then he punched, scoring 1200. The punching machine then had his fist mark imprinted on it.

"What!"

"What's going on!"

"Beyond One thousand! Oh my grandfather! How is this possible!!!"

All of the students around looked at Ye Qi, eyes widely opened.

Ye Qi had a calm face as if it were nothing, before looking at Shen Xiu, whose eyes were widely opened.

He smirked at her face. The bet is still going on.

The elder took the punching machine away and decided to consider Ye Qi's punching level on par with Silver Rank Fighter.

Next, it was the crystal. Ye Qi stood up in front of it. He put his palms on it, and he didn't show that he fears it would explode.

After all, this one can handle five thousand soul force. Ye Qi has only to control his soul force and the pressure he is emitting, which is easy for a Golden rank demon spiritualist.

Ye Qi turned and looked slightly at Shen Xiu, who was half closing her eyes. Shen Xiu bit on her bottom lip and nodded. As if she said that Ye Qi has to accept reality.

"You can pour your soul force." The elder next to him said.

"Ha…"

Ye Qi exhaled slightly as a silver aura wrapped him.

Everyone could feel the pressure from his soul force. It was something only a silver rank spiritualist can do, closing and opening his soul realm. Ye Qi poured his soul force with control that he learnt from getting experience from the other legendary rank spiritualist.

The elder who is responsible for the test let his head near to the measuring crystal, and his eyes almost pooped out of his head.

"A thousand!"

He announced.

The students around, from every class, opened their eyes widely.

Even Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er.

Everyone looked at Qi and took some time to process what has happened, and how. One can doubt the punching machine, however, no one can doubt the crystal or the pressure that Ye Qi could unleash.

Not only was he a fighter at the Silver Rank, which can be natural since his starting point was a third star Bronze rank, but he also has reached the Silver Rank, in their eyes!

"Should I pour it there again?"

As everyone was expecting something from Ye Qi to say, Ye Qi calmly said.

"Ah…" the elder didn't know what to say. However, Ye Qi took his response as a yes.

Ye Qi turned his face and saw Shen Xiu looking at him, astonished, with her red eyes widely opened.

Smiling at her slightly, making her cheeks flush with slight redness, Ye Qi continued the test.

The results that his soul force showed only belonged to a Silver rank spiritualist.

That was something only a few people can even dream of touching.

Everyone was feeling that they were seeing a dream, as this was something they never thought they would see.

From the side, there were students from the older classes. Ye Qi would know some of them, like Chen Linjian, the busty beauty, Huyan Lanruo, who is planning to talk to him after her classes' test finish.

On the other hand, Shen Fei was clenching his fist, looking between the blushing fiancee of his and Ye Qi's cocky stature.

"My brother has been in the Sacred Heavenly Borders." Ye Hong said, his hands behind his back. As Ye Hone was one of the benefits from the alchemy pills that Ye Qi has rediscovered, he was a step ahead of his peers. His rank is at the peak and he isn't far from reaching golden rank. To him, Ye Qi was a source of pride.

"Heavenly borders!" Shen Fei's pale face showed paleness.

"Hey, is that the reason I haven't see him for the prior days." Huyan Lanruo said, still, her light pink eyes are scanning Ye Qi. She smiled slightly. No one would judge her ages if Ye Qi ever wanted her in his harem. For the last days, she had even come to the City Lord Mansion with her dad, however, Ye Qi hadn't been there at all. No one told her that he had been training. But knowing what happened now, gave her some positive vibes.

"Hm... You wanted to talk to him." Ye Hong chuckled, thinking that he would be the next to shock people. "Sure, you may want to take the line. Not only the noble families, but the major ones would try to bound him. Well, guys, you have yet to feel surprised." Ye Hong, because of recourses, surely can shock the guys here. Only if he knew what Ye Qi was hiding, he would be more humble.

The others started talking. With what Ye Qi has shown, he, now, clearly is Glory City's number one genius.

Shen Fei was the only one who didn't participate in the conversation. His thoughts were somewhere else. As a noble, he won't want to provoke problems between two families. However, by looking at the astonishing beauty Xiao Ning'er, it was needless to say that he is willing to take things far.

'I won't be able to beat him if he keeps growing like that. In one year, he may overcome my rank.'

Shen Fei didn't want to feel cucked. Especially if he faced someone who can grow too strong for him to handle. So, he has decided what to do next.

On the other hand, Ye Qi, who was at the Golden Rank, cracked his hands and made eyes with Shen Xiu. He moved his head to the side as if signalling for her to meet in her office.

"Shen Xiu. Your skills as a teacher are unmatched. You should be promoted to be an elder in our school."

Shen Xiu, who was hearing the vice principal of the Orchid Institute, smiled.

The reason for her smile was because she believed that she was dreaming.

How can this be possible… it's not like a dream.

Someone has entered the heavenly borders for her, and he wants her despite her old age.

The vice-principal just smiled, as he thought that Shen Xiu is approving.

"Alright, we will meet." Shen Xiu said to Ye Qi, who clearly can read her lips from that distance.

"Great then. You can teach in the geniuses class." Said the vice principal as he turned and walked away from them.

Shen Xiu gave her back to Ye Qi, gestured to him with her hand to come and started walking away.

Ye Qi just smiled. While being surrounded by the curious eyes of everyone, he raised his hand, and he was about to follow Shen Xiu.

However, a figure appeared in front of him.

"You think you are at the top yet. Cocky brat."

"You…" Ye Qi half-closed his eyes. The only person who is now sanding between Ye Qi and his woman is their nephew. "Move away. I'll deal with you later."

"Shen Fei." Xiao Ning'er appeared behind Ye Qi walking. "What are you doing here. Leave him alone." Ning'er, who has now a great cultivation base, said with a confidence that she didn't have in the past as she stood behind Ye Qi.

Shen Fei shot her a sharp glare. "This doesn't concern you. Stay at home and brush your hair. I'll talk to you after the wedding."

"There would be no wedding between you and me!" Ning'er said as she looked up against him. "Do you think— "

Ye Qi raised his hand, and Ning'er shut her mouth.

"Ning'er, I got this. You can rest and celebrate. You and Ziyun go to the City Lord Mansion, I'll catch up to you."

Ning'er was obedient to Ye Qi. She then shot her fiancee a sharp glare, before turning. "I'll wait then."

Shen Fei flinched when he saw his fiancee following the orders of a stranger man. It made him feel that what's his has been stolen.

"You think you can get cocky just because you broke through Silver rank." He looked down at Ye Qi, ignoring Lanruo, who was angrily approaching.

"I think I can." Ye Qi said, drawing a smirk on his face, holding his Golden Rank aura from leaking. "You got a problem with that?"

"The only reason I'm not beating you is because of the inappropriate time and place." Shen Fei said, sneering.

"What are you suggesting." Ye Qi said, smirking. Behind Shen Fei, Ye Hong was cracking his fists.

"A martial arts tournament." He pointed at Ye Qi with his finger.

Asked Ye Qi, his eyes showing a glint of light. "I have more important things to do now."

"Coward. If you can't stand up to a challenge now, don't try to mess around the others' woman"

Shen Fei's intent is clearly to cripple Ye Qi in the tournament before he grows any stronger.

"So you are saying, whoever loses, stay away from Ning'er."

Ye Qi half-closed his eyes.

"You got that right."

Shen Fei and Ye Qi both unleashed some of the killing intent they have, directed at each other.

"Make it an official document. A blood contract. I don't trust bastards, even if I were their uncle." Ye Qi gave him his back. "Until then, I have more important thing."
