11 Chapter 12 - Tatsuya and Xiao Ning'Er

Miyuki was surprised by the sudden change but she decided to ignore it for now.

Nie Li started to recite the mnemonics of the Void God Technique and Miyuki soon remembered them.

Soon, Tatsuya took a primary soul crystal too. Nie Li looked at him with an interesting expression. He always felt great danger from Tatsuya and before Tatsuya even used a technique that blocked sound for a few minutes without any trouble.

That made him think Tatsuya was Silver Rank but it seems like he was also a Bronze rank demon spiritualist. That intrigued him even more.

Tatsuya started to pour his soul force inside the soul crystal, but no matter how much soul force he poured into there was no change inside the crystal. From the outside crystal started to disintegrate and before soon it disappeared.

Everyone other than Miyuki had no idea about what they saw. Even Miyuki didn't fully realize what had happened but she had an inkling of what it might be.

Lu Piao rubbed his eyes "wait, what just happened!!! did the crystal get destroyed"

Du Ze looked at it with doubtful eyes "does the crystal get destroyed like that? this is my first time seeing a crystal break."

Nie Li shook his head "No, that is not how it breaks"

Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'Er, and others looked at Tatsuya like they were watching a weird creature after that they looked towards Nie Li as if waiting for an explanation.

Nie Li didn't say anything but just looked at Tatsuya. Even he didn't feel anything but now he knew the source of danger that he felt from Tatsuya. If he was not wrong then if he fought against as he was now his result would be the same as that crystal.

"can you give me your hand?" Nie Li asked seriously. He wanted to ascertain what was that.

"You might get hurt. Do you want to go through that?"

Nie Li narrowed his eyes "I don't mind" he wouldn't mind a little injury as long as he could know what just happened.

Tatsuya moved his hand forward and nodded "ok, you can try"

Nie Li put two of his fingers on Tatsuya's inner wrist. First, he checked the bloodline to see if Tatsuya had a special bloodline but he didn't find anything special soon he moved to check Tatsuya's soul realm but as soon as his spirit sense reached Tatsuya's realm it was instantly destroyed.

"Fuck!!" Nie Li hurriedly pulled his hand away and held his head.

"Nie Li!!"

"Nie Li!!!" "Nie Li!!"

Lu Piao, Du Ze, and others shouted.

Ziyun or Ning'Er were also startled by the sudden change.

Ziyun held her hands tightly together as she looked at Nie Li. For some reason, she felt like her heart was aching.

Tatsuya moved his hand forward and put his finger on Nie Li's forehead.

'Commencing Eidos Changelog Track.'

'Confirming Restoration Point'

'Commencing Restoration'

Before anyone even realized what had happened Tatsuya removed his hand. From others' point of view, it looked like Tatsuya's finger touched Nie Li's forehead and left.

Nie Li was bewildered by what just happened at one instance he was in pain and the next he was fine. People were careful when checking someone's body with spirit sense unless they were far more powerful because if spirit sense got hurt it damages the soul.

Nie Li decided to take a risk even after Tatsuya's warning because he thought even if he got hurt he knew great pills that he could use to restore his injured soul but his spirit sense didn't just get destroyed it was erased as if it never existed and with it a small part of his soul. It was because of the willpower that he didn't just faint.

But all of a sudden things were like they never happened. He had no idea what just happened. If others were not here then he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Wha...what was that" Nie Li looked at Tatsuya with a bewildered expression and asked.

Tatsuya looked at him like nothing happened "We made a deal. For each cultivation technique, I will fulfill one of the offers I gave you. Not counting Ziyun, you gave cultivation technique to Miyuki and Ning'Er so as promised I will fulfill two offers. If you are asking does that mean you want me to fulfill the third one?"

Nie Li had a conflicted look on his face he wanted to know about it so badly. But, no matter what he couldn't if he could only make Tatsuya fulfill two of his offers he would chose to protect everyone's family and a chance to get to Nightmare demon pot.

He wanted that more than anything else.

Before what happened with the Sacred Family made want to get stronger fast but he still thought he had things under control but today he felt his control slipping. He never felt like this ever since he was reborn.

He wasn't worried about Tatsuya. Today he realized that Tatsuya was a bigger monster than anyone he has ever met and was happy he was on his side. He was worried about Dark Guild who were able to kill such a monster.

Dark Guild was his enemy but when he realized they were able to kill a monster like Tatsuya he realized how frightening his enemy was.

He needed to change his plans and get stronger much stronger.

He took a deep breath and said "No, I want you to protect our families and I want to take one treasure"

Tatsuya looked as if he was already expecting that "Good, Meet me tomorrow at Alchemy Association. I will take you to my treasure house and if you want I can also get you access to Energy Gathering Array."

Nie Li looked at Tatsuya "what would I have to do in return?"

"Let's just say you will owe me one."

"Good" Nie Li accepted this with pleasure. Right now, there was only one thing in his mind. He wanted to get stronger faster. Reach Legend as soon as he could. Tatsuya was providing him with a much-needed opportunity.

Tatsuya stood up "Then, we will take our leave. Miyuki, Ziyun, Ning'Er lets go." Tatsuya turned and left.

Miyuki got up and politely bowed before following Tatsuya out. Ning'Er had questions but she got up and said thank you to Nie Li and promised to help him if he ever needed anything and left. Only Ziyun stayed behind for a moment.

"Nie Li, are you alright," Ziyun asked with a worried look on her face.

Hearing her asking that a cheeky smile appeared on Nie Li's face "Ohh is Ziyun so worried about me"

A small blush appeared on her face "I..You.." seeing Nie Li laughing she pouted "fine, don't tell. I don't care" and left in a hurry.

Seeing Ziyun leave Nie Li had a new determined look on his face 'Ziyun, In this life, I will protect you no matter what.'

On the streets of Glory City

Tatsuya, Miyuki, Ning'Er, and Ziyun were going moving towards Ning'Ers house. They planned to drop Ning'Er home and then go to the city mansion.

At this time Ning'Er couldn't handle the silence and took two large steps and turned around to stopped Tatsuya from moving. She took a deep breath and said "Tatsuya, I want to know what exactly happened back there."

Tatsuya looked at her determined eyes and sighed "what exactly do you want to know"

Ning'Er wanted to know more about Tatsuya. She thought back to when she first saw Tatsuya.

At that time Alchemy Schools and Martial Arts school had just opened. The First Year of Alchemy School was compulsory for all students to make sure they knew what to eat and not to eat if they went to explore for treasure outside or got lost while hunting. At that time there was a shortage of Teachers so he came to teach them. The prodigy of Alchemy Association.

She had heard about him so much from Miyuki and Ziyun that she was really curious about him. She still remembers in the first class he scared the children and completely ignored them. She was so fascinated by that and wanted to do that too.

He was probably in the first batch of students who reached the Bronze realm after Foundation Cultivation Art was released.

Soon, she started with Miyuki, Ziyun, and him. He always taught her with care. Even later when she started practicing her family's cultivation technique and because of that technique, she started to get sick.

He helped her again and he later helped her improve her family's cultivation technique.

Later on, when her family got cheated out of their business by the Sacred family and they were pressuring her family to arrange a marriage between her and Hier of the sacred family.

Being unable to do anything she could only cry but he helped her again. He introduced the new business to her family, which slowly made them recover losses. He even allowed everyone else in the family to cultivated the new cultivation technique and helped her father reach Black-Gold Rank.

She didn't know when did she fall in love with him when she first saw him when she first heard his voice when she first held his hand when he helped stand up every time she fell. She didn't know, she only knew that ever since she had been in love for the longest time. But, she never felt she knew much about him.

As if there he was covered by a veil and she couldn't see through. For the longest time she held back but after seeing what happened today she couldn't anymore.

She wanted to be brave. She wanted to tell him how she felt. She wanted him to know how she felt. She wanted to know him.

She was hell-bent on knowing about him today and her expression showed that "Tatsuya, I want to know."
