Chapter 29 Mating Season!

- Yes and you...? - Xi Yu asked, thinking about how he was able to attract the attention of this beast.

He didn't like Huang Lanruo, Xi Yu thought that her appearance was not bad if she grew her hair. But he didn't notice any merits like Xiao Ning'er or valuable qualities like Ye Ziyun in her. Neither in the light novel nor in the memory of Nie Li's past life. She seemed to him like an ordinary scion of a strong family, and the choice of her Demon Spirit...

"I'm Huang Lanruo, nice to meet you," she said with a mysterious smile.

- Why did you need me? - Xi Yu asked, frowning. But his disguise simply continued to feign indifference.

"I just wanted to get to know you better..." Huang Lanruo said, smiling sexually and bending slightly, showing off her charms.

- Oh, I beg your pardon, but this is too much honor for such a humble servant like me. May I know where you heard my name in general? - Xi Yu sarcastically asked how he came to the attention of this annoying person.

"Well... Brother Xi Yu shouldn't be so harmful... Little sister heard about how courageous Brother Xi Yu is, saving girls from an unfortunate fate with the vile Shen Xiu..." Huang Lanruo said in her coquettish voice.

- Oh, that incident? Miss Huang Lanruo must have heard it wrong, I'm just a bystander! How could I resist Shen Hong? Do I look like a suicide? He is a 5 Star Steel Demon Cultivator! "I think that artificially created rumors have reached you to divert attention from the true heroes," Xi Yu said, trying as best he could to reduce his value in the eyes of this hunter.

- It can't be... Is this really so? - Huang Lanruo muttered thoughtfully.

- Xi Yu? - a familiar voice was heard.

Turning around, Xi Yu saw a stunningly beautiful pair of twins. Even though they were wearing veils hiding their perfect facial features. But this could not hide their eyes and hair, which were pure black, like the abyss of darkness itself, absorbing the light. And skin as white as milky white jade, which created a mystical contrast, as if not belonging to this world...

As soon as they appeared, the entire group standing at the gate froze in contemplation of their beauty. Such a scene made Xi Yu reluctant, but after thinking a little, he decided that his instincts of ownership were crossing all boundaries. And he will need to define these very boundaries for himself, otherwise he may go down the wrong path.

While he was thinking about this, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er managed to approach him. And Xi Yu noticed how Huang Lanruo's face was twisted with dissatisfaction, she had such an expression on her face as if it was written on it: "Xi Yu, did he say all this because he doesn't think I'm attractive enough for him?"

Huang Lanruo couldn't help but admit that the beauty of these twins who came out of nowhere was simply beyond the bounds. She didn't understand where they came from, and how had she not heard of them until now?

- Hello... Well, Miss Huang Lanruo, perhaps I should go - after greeting Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er who approached, Xi Yu turned to Huang Lanruo, as if hinting to her to leave and not bother her.

"Well, in that case, I'll leave you, I hope we still have time to chat, brother Xi Yu," said Huang Lanruo, glad that she didn't explode with indignation and was still able to restrain herself.

- Xi Yu, when did you meet Huang Lanruo? - After Huang Lanruo left, Ye Ziyun asked, and Xiao Ning'er pricked up her ears.

"She somehow found out that I was involved in the Sacred Family incident... Oh well, it doesn't matter." How are you doing with the Demon Spirits I gave you? - Xi Yu asked a question that interested him.

"Um... Not really..." Ye Ziyun answered, and together with Xiao Ning'er, she lowered her head.

- What's happened? What is the problem? - Xi Yu asked worriedly, and memories of the battle with the Holy Devourer surfaced in his mind.

Hearing the concern in Xi Yu's voice, the twins felt a pleasant languor, after which they quickly began to explain.

- Um... Well, in these two days, with the help of Spiritual Stones, we managed to achieve 5 Bronze Stars of all four Demon Spirits. But their abilities... They are so incredible and complex... With the skills of the Blizzard Empress it was much easier, I managed to master two skills of each, but this one and only Active ability of the Cat Myth "Blink"... It is so complex that "We both can't even use it ineptly... It seems that we are not given the ability to ever master it," Ye Ziyun muttered uncertainly, and Xiao Ning'er only nodded, confirming what was said.

The fact that the Demon Spirits Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun reached 5 Bronze Stars in just two days did not surprise Xi Yu at all, because his own were already at 1 Silver Star, like himself. Because of such perfect integration that occurs between the Demon Spirit and the Demon Soul Vessel. The Demon Spirit becomes an integral part of the Demon Soul Vessel, and as soon as the development of the Demon Soul Vessel matches the development of the integrated Demon Spirit, they will begin to develop simultaneously, and not separately, as happens with Demon Spellcasters. But the fact that they were able to learn as many as two abilities from the Blizzard Empress Xi Yu was amazing...

"Did they really manage to learn two skills each in just two days? Except for Telekinesis and Illusions, which I managed to learn only thanks to my soul. The power of which goes beyond common sense, I only learned one skill in these two days. And then, this is only thanks to the knowledge I have of Lei Xi Yu from the scientifically developed world of Earth and Nie Li with his possession of the Book of Demons of Time and Space," Xi Yu thought, amazed at the talent of the twins.

But after thinking a little more, he realized that due to the inherited knowledge they received from the Ice Dragon and Ice Phoenix, and the existing affinity with the Attribute of Ice and Cold, the skills of the Blizzard Empress might not seem very difficult to them... And as for the "Blink" of the Cat Myth, he did not expect that they would be able to master the spatial skill, closely related to instincts, so quickly. But overall he was pleased with their rapid growth.

- I didn't expect that you would immediately get used to their abilities. Just mastering the two abilities of the Blizzard Empress in just two days is enough to consider you an Ice and Cold Attribute Genius! Over these two days, I myself managed to master only one skill from the Face of Infinity, and this despite the fact that I had a lot of knowledge about space and its principles of operation... Understand that these abilities no longer belong to the Demon Spirits,

they are now your own! And what the Demon Spirits were born with and used throughout their lives cannot be mastered in just two days! Just tell me what benefits you received after integrating the Demon Spirits - asked Xi Yu, wanting to know what passive skills have already shown themselves.

- Well... Xi Yu, do you know what abilities the Demon Spirits you gave us had? - Ye Ziyun asked with a strange look at Xi Yu, and Xiao Ning'er lowered her head in embarrassment.

-A? - Xi Yu burst out in surprise, because the twins' reaction to the skills of the Demon Spirits seemed strange to him. "Well, the native abilities of the Emperor..." Xi Yu wanted to tell about what he knows how he was interrupted. - No, tell us about the skills that Cat Myth has! - Ye Ziyun said, and looked at Xi Yu with some anger and unspoken resentment.

- The Myth Cat has 5 senses that are absurdly developed and has a sixth - Intuition. And just as I understood it, Blink allows them to instinctively teleport within one mile! As for what abilities she gained from the Mutation, I don't know. But you will be the first people in the world who were able to unite with the Cat Myth. Is there something wrong? - Xi Yu asked, looking at Ye Ziyun suspiciously glaring at him and Xiao Ning'er looking embarrassedly.

- No, everything is fine, why didn't anyone team up with Cat Myth before us? - Ye Ziyun asked Ye Ziyun, looking at Xi Yu strangely, but no longer angry.

"As I already said, they are imperceptible... How can you integrate with a Demon Spirit that teleports from your Soul Vessel, beyond it, and then somewhere else..." Xi Yu simply explained.

- How were we able to integrate? - Ye Ziyun continued to be curious, and Xiao Ning'er listened carefully.

- I have a treasure that allowed me to destroy the EGOs of the Demon Spirits. If we had ordinary Vessels of the Soul, we would not be able to integrate with the Demon Spirits who have lost the remnants of their consciousness. But we have Vessels of the Demon Soul, which do not need the remnants of consciousness; upon integration, it already dissolves in them. I wanted a Cat Myth for myself, but there were only two... Be grateful... - Xi Yu muttered displeasedly in the end.

- Grateful? YOU...!!! - Ye Ziyun got angry, and Xiao Ning'er began to calm her down.

[For those interested in the abilities of the Blizzard Empress and the Cat Myth, read at the end of the chapter.]

- What's wrong with Cat Myth? This is the most elusive Demon Spirit I know, and after going through 2-3 Mutations, it should only get better... What about Ye Ziyun's reaction? - Xi Yu asked Xiao Ning'er curiously, but their conversation was interrupted.

- Well, is everyone ready? Then let's move out... Who are you? - Chen Linjian asked when he saw that there were extras in his group. He didn't pay much attention to Xi Yu, but the twins caught his eye every now and then.

"We are also going to the Ruins of the Ancient Orchid City, and wanted to go with a group." But if we bother you, we can go ahead ourselves. Besides, I know approximately where the city's treasury is hidden," Xi Yu said in a calm voice, as if he didn't care whether they went together or separately.

- Do you know where the treasury is? - Chen Linjian asked in surprise, and all his attention turned to the unremarkable 13-year-old guy who spoke.

- We can agree. If in the place where I point there is a treasury. I will take only 1 item first, the rest is yours. If I'm wrong, my companions and I won't get anything," Xi Yu suggested, not wanting to go into details or prove his abilities.

- Hey, little one, do you think we will run around the entire Ancient City because of you? - some sycophant Chen Linjian got into the conversation.

"Shut up, you'll blurt out something stupid again, and you'll be missing your teeth," Xi Yu reacted sharply, and his instincts of the beast that had been sleeping inside him all this time were provoked by the impudent address of the unknown.

From childhood until today, Xi Yu has never had to endure being treated harshly. The attitude that was shown towards him was different: respect, humility, virtue, neutral, friendly or simple. But Xi Yu was not used to rudeness. He received a lot of rude treatment while experiencing the lives of "Lei Xi Yu and Nie Li." But while living their lives, he did not perceive that attitude towards himself, it was intended for "Lei Xi Yu or Nie Li."

For this reason, it was difficult for him to listen to any insults directed at him for no reason. Xi Yu believed that if people are rude for no reason, then they just want to show everyone that he is a nonentity. And Xi Yu did not consider himself a nonentity, as the saying goes, "if you don't love yourself, no one will love you," and Xi Yu had respect for himself, which helped him not to stray from the path of dignity. "What are you Melk..." before the sycophant Chen Linjian had time to be indignant and finish, an unbearable pain pierced his mouth.

"Ahhhh," he shouted with all his might from the sharp pain, and at the sight of his own teeth, which with incredible force were tearing out of his mouth and hovering in front of his face, and he could not even move, the sycophant almost lost consciousness.

This scene caused the entire group to freeze in shock, and even Chen Linjian felt a slight tremor. He just didn't know how it happened! Xi Yu stood still and did not move, and teeth with gulps of blood came out of the guy's mouth and hovered in the air, right before his eyes.

"Now collect it," Xi Yu's cold voice rang out.

After which the teeth began to scatter across the floor, and the guy's body, as if he did not resist, sank to his knees and began to collect his own teeth.

Xi Yu could have dealt with it more gently, but he was angry, and his instincts wanted punishment for the one who displeased him. He also wanted to show his strength and make it clear that he shouldn't be bullied. And for one thing, check whether he can, with his Telekinesis, manipulate the body of a Silver Rank 1 Star so as not to break it. The result pleased him; Xi Yu was so precise in his control that it seemed to him as if Telekinesis was part of his body.

Even when pulling out teeth from a mouth full of blood, where it seemed Xi Yu could not see anything, he felt with Telekinesis, as if with his eyes, where the tooth was and how much force was needed to use to pull it out of the flesh. This was the result of Xi Yu's monstrously strong Mental Power! His control was so precise that he could stop bullets coming at him from all directions.

And while Xi Yu was focused on practicing Telekinesis, Shen Yue and the others looked at him with horror in their eyes. And Chen Linjian, even considering the loss of face for not standing up for his henchman in this situation, remained silent. There were two reasons for this: firstly, he had nothing to blame Xi Yu for; he was the first to be bullied. And secondly, this is Xi Yu himself!

How did a 13-year-old boy, without even lifting a finger, take away the teeth and force them to be collected across the floor by a 1st Star Silver Rank Demon Cultivator?
