4 004 - Xiao Ning'er

When he was back to his room, it was already cleaned. {Damn, he really is the best butler, so efficient. I won't regret giving him that technique, it would be a good way to thank him for his services}

He then wrote down the suitable cultivation technique for his butler. It was now a little longer than before.

{At least it's the proof that I didn't record the family's books for nothing…}

{I'll gift it to him in a few days when the servants finished collecting the herbs}

{I'm too excited to be able to sleep, I'll try to find Xiao Ning'er to start curing her tonight}

He imagined the place he was in the training grounds and teleported there.

Now a 5-Star Bronze Rank, he would theoretically be able to use his power to teleport at least fifty times before running out of soul force, so this time he wasn't the least bit tired after the teleportation.

His senses were also a lot more accurate than few hours earlier. He could tell where was Nie Li's group since they were hunting Horned Sheep in the beginning area. He went deeper in the training grounds without them noticing and it didn't take long for him to see Xiao Ning'er who was cultivating.

She had beautiful waist length hazelnut hair and light brown eyes. With Ye Ziyun, she was considered as one of the most beautiful girls of the young generation. But the most amazing thing about her was her personality.

She was hard working, unyielding and really passionate. In her previous life, she left Glory City alone to escape her wedding with Shen Fei. She would rather die than marrying someone she doesn't love.

In the story, she fell in love with Nie Li who only had Ye Ziyun in his heart, and even when he finally "agrees" to take her as his woman, it was out of pity.

{Well, I don't know if she'll fall in love with me when I finished to completely heal her, but if she does then I'll take care of her}

Coughing to make him noticed, when she recognized him he directly told her, "You should stop cultivating if you don't want to die".

He then concentrated to recall all that he knew of her situation, since he read those chapters at least dozens of times.

She frowned, what was he talking about?

Before she could talk, he continued, "You have an illness called the Arctic Disease, you can check it in the school's library. You should have other deep purple bruised areas like the one you have on your foot. It would be extremely painful and it wouldn't dissipate, even spreading further.

At night, both of your legs would feel like they are burning by fire. Your body would also feel extremely cold, the worst would be at midnight when it would be so painful that you wouldn't be able to train your soul force. You are lucky that you haven't reached the Bronze Rank, once you do, your body would explode".

After hearing his words, she clenched her fists and tears began to fall from her eyes. Since Xiao Yan was able to list all the symptoms that she hasn't tell anyone by a single glance at her foot, she could tell that he wasn't lying.

"All of my hard work was for nothing?", she muttered as she started crying.

The Winged Dragon Family was one of the seven noble families of Glory City. A few years ago the Sacred Family made them lose 80% of their family properties, leaving them no choice to attach themselves to them and to force Xiao Ning'er to wed Shen Fei, the son of their Patriarch.

This matter was also pushed by an Elder of her family, Xiao Yi, who wanted to take over the position of his brother Xiao Yunfeng, the Patriarch and also the father of Xiao Ning'er. He wanted to marry off in another family the only descendant of his brother who didn't get remarried again after the death of his wife.

The thing is, Shen Fei is a real scumbag, playing with women instead of training, raping commoners, finding other people to be punished in his stead…

This led Xiao Ning'er to isolate herself from her family and to become a lone wolf.

She wanted to become strong enough to get rid of her engagement, so she started training really hard everyday until late at night, but she didn't know that this led her to have the Arctic disease, and if she continued then when she reached the Bronze Rank she would be bedridden for the next two years.

Xiao Yan wanted her to be fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, that's why he lied to her by saying her body would explode.

But he didn't want her to cry…

Feeling guilty, he took her in his arms and started to pat her back.

"Don't cry okay? You can still be cured, sorry if I was too harsh with my words earlier"

"Really?", she looked up at him with hope in her red eyes

"Yes, someone must use the Daoyin Technique to massage the bruised areas to dissipate them, and you'll have to daily consume a medicine made from Golden Striped Grass combined with Imperial Sky Grass. You'll be completely cured within one or two weeks. The most important thing, never train your soul force at night before reaching the Silver Rank, your illness is half due to you training too much at night, the other half being the cultivation technique that you are using. Show it to me"

Since he could also access their family's library, she didn't hesitate to take it from her storage ring and gave it to him. Only now did she notice that she was still in his arms. With a red face, she retreated a few steps while he took the aged parchment from her.

After adding the technique to his LoHP, he told her, "Never use that technique again, tomorrow I'll find you a suitable cultivation technique that won't harm your body".

He then acted as if he was going to leave, "Well, see you tomorrow".

Feeling a little down, he thought, {She won't ask me to do the massage for her?}

But then he heard, "Wait!".
