Ye Ziyun was distraught by anxiety. She took out the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique given to her by Nie Li. The value of this Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix technique was absolutely unimaginable and Nie Li was actually willing to give her such a precious cultivation technique?
With both anger and gratitude, the two emotions intertwined within her heart, causing her to be unable to calm down.
After a long while, Ye Ziyun finally managed to suppress the indignation in her heart and focused on practising the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes cultivation technique. Her inner heart also began to slowly calm down. Her soul realm was as tough as icy frost, and crystal clear energy began moving around her body.
Ye Ziyun's skin turned crystal clear like jade's luster, becoming a lot more beautiful than it used to be. She was like a fairy descending from the heavens.
As her soul force was continuously improving, the impurities within her body were gradually being discharged. Ye Ziyun's body was covered in sweat, when suddenly a cyan light bloomed. It was like a huge cyan lotus.
Ye Ziyun suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful pupils were as pure as gems. The power of the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique had far surpassed her expectations. She had already been near the border of the 1-star Bronze rank, but after practising the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes cultivating technique for just a moment, she directly broke through the barrier and became a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist.
She felt the stickiness on her body. This was extremely uncomfortable and Ye Ziyun immediately got the maid to prepare the water for a bath.
Fragrance emitted from the flower pedals in the bath barrel. Ye Ziyun slowly removed her clothes, revealing her curvaceous figure. Her white and exquisite skin was as though it was sculpted from jade. After practising the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique, Ye Ziyun had become even more beautiful and charming. Although she had not reached the blooming age, her development was already considered quite good.
Her exquisite ankle slowly entered into the sea of petals. Feeling the hot water washing off the stains on her body and the flower fragrance being left behind on her body, Ye Ziyun's mood couldn't help but turn happy. Her fine fingers slowly stroked her smooth skin. Seeing the butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left chest, her heart couldn't help but flutter.
This butterfly-shaped birthmark had been with her since birth. She slightly touched the birthmark. Although she still hadn't reached the blooming age for girls, her slightly elevated peaks were already very attractive.
So had Nie Li seen her birthmark before?
Ye Ziyun felt her heart flutter. If Nie Li had seen it before, then didn't that mean that everything else had also been seen by Nie Li?
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside.
"Who is it!? Who's peeking!?" Ye Ziyun immediately covered her chest with her hands, indignation flashed on her face. Nie Li that scoundrel!
"Miss, it's me!" A pretty maid came out from behind the curtains.
It turned out to be the maid Xiao Die. Ye Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, her face slightly heating up. Nie Li hadn't even reached the 1-star Bronze rank yet, how could he be able to break into the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion? She was being too paranoid! So how did Nie Li actually see her birthmark?
The night went by in silence.
The next day.
--- Secret Treasure Pavilion ---
This was a large shop that specialised in a variety of armours, weapons, and inscription scrolls. The shop was located a few hundred meters from the Holy Orchid Institute.
"Boss, I'll take that Bronze rank Ragefire Armour, and this Wrath of Inflammation Sword!" Nie Li said, pointing towards the Bronze rank armour set and weapon.
"This set of Ragefire Armour consists of 4 parts. Which are respectively the armour, gauntlets, leggings and boots. The price is 500 thousand demon spirit coins. These are the pinnacles of the Bronze level, made from the scales of a Ragefire demon beast. Bronze rank demon beasts wouldn't be able to break the armour, even Silver rank demon beasts would require large efforts to break it. Young Master, are you sure you want to buy this?" The boss said sizing Nie Li up.
"Of course! Do you think I'm joking with you?" Nie Li flung his hand threw out a bag and continued "Here's 70 demon spirit cards."
"Okay! I'll wrap it up for Young Master immediately!" The boss's eyes were beaming with joy.
"I still want this set of armour, and these inscription scrolls. I want it all, wrap them up for me. And this, this, this…" After selling a large amount of Purple Haze Grass, the amount of money in Nie Li's hands was simply frightening. Therefore buying all these items wasn't a problem at all.
Unsure which of the super families this young man belonged to, the shop owner's teeth almost dropped from his smile. The generosity of Nie Li's spending spree caused the sales from this one day to top the sales of the past several months.
Nie Li also bought an interspatial ring with a 5 to 6 cubic meters capacity and placed all the items into the interspatial ring. As for the Ragefire Armour, it was directly worn on his body. This Ragefire Armour was extremely light, wearing a shirt over it was enough to cover it up.
'I'll make a trip today to the classroom to return the money to Xiao Ning'er!' Nie Li thought for awhile and said to himself. Then he walked towards the school's direction.
A few people suddenly appeared in front of Nie Li as he walked around a corner in the school.
"Brat, we've finally caught you!" Shen Yue coldly sneered while looking at Nie Li. The six lackeys behind Shen Yue also looked at Nie Li with ridicule in their eyes. Nie Li was already well aware that Shen Yue and his bunch had been following him. He had deliberately gone to a remote area to wait for Shen Yue and his bunch to block him. Nie Li had an imperceptible smile on his face, 'look how I'll mess with you guys next!', he thought.
"What do you guys want?" Nie Li pretended to look afraid.
"Brat, you finally know fear. Damn, I have been unhappy with you for all these days. Today you're seeking your own death! Beat him up mercilessly!" Shen Yue thundered.
The six lackeys behind Shen Yue charged towards Nie Li, like starving tigers going for their food.
"Beat him! Beat him up mercilessly, until he can't even crawl back up!" Shen Yue revealed a cruel and pleased smile on his face.
"Don't come here, I'll retaliate!" Nie Li was dodging while at the same time shouting using his soul force, "Murder! The Sacred Family is going to murder me!" such a good chance to soil the Sacred family's name, Nie Li definitely wouldn't let it go.
Nie Li used a secret soul technique, his voice became as loud as thunder, causing other's eardrums to sting.
"Damn, shut that brat's mouth! Hurry up and shut him up!" Hearing Nie Li's shouts, Shen Yue's face almost twitched. Damn, Nie Li's yell could be heard throughout the whole Holy Orchid Institute. It sounded even more miserable than pigs that were beings butchered!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The attacks of Shen Yue's lackeys were like raindrops falling onto Nie Li's body. Within these six lackeys, three of them were 1-star Bronze ranks and another three of them were 2-star Bronze ranks. Logically speaking, a few fists from them should be able to beat Nie Li down. But after Nie Li had received a few blows, he still didn't have any reaction. His crying was still as loud, and echoed back and forth between several school buildings.
"Murder! The Sacred Family is going to murder me!"
The power of his voice's penetration simply shook the school building. Hastily, the whole Holy Orchid Institute was alarmed by it and lots of people leaned out against the windows, wanting to see what was going on.
In just one look, they saw six people surrounding Nie Li and beating him. Standing behind them was Shen Yue of the Sacred Family.
"Isn't that Nie Li?"
"I heard that Nie Li offended the Sacred Family!"
"I heard that because of Nie Li exposing the plagiarism behind the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern, the Sacred Family is planning to secretly get rid of Nie Li!"
"The Sacred Family is too dark. They're actually trying to kill a student within the Holy Orchid Institute!"
"Hurry and report this to the Principal!"
Students began talking among themselves, even the people that were unhappy about Nie Li in the past also felt sympathy for Nie Li. This included several nobility kids. Everyone was displeased with Shen Yue's methods. This was the Holy Orchid Institute, the Sacred Family actually dared to kill someone in here? Wasn't it a little too lawless?
Nie Li looked at the Shen Yue in front of him, the corner of his mouth raised. Shen Yue was still too inexperienced to play with him!
When surrounded by the six people, Nie Li was using quick movements so that the attacks of Shen Yue's lackeys would all fall on the Ragefire Armour. Not only were they unable to hurt Nie Li, they even got hurt by the impact of their own attacks, which caused their hand to go numb. The bones in their hands felt as though they were on the verge of breaking.
While dodging, Nie Li secretly had his fist strike onto the bodies of Shen Yue's lackeys, causing them to grimace from the pain. Strictly speaking, with Nie Li's current strength, he shouldn't be able to cause any harm to the few 1-star and 2-star Bronze rank Fighters, but Nie Li's fist was a little strange. His light punches hurt even more than being hit on the head with a rod.
"Damn, you bunch of imbeciles! Do you eat meat?" Shen Yue roared. Under the crowd's view, Shen Yue felt that his face was all thrown away. After so long, not only were his six lackeys unable to beat Nie Li down, but Nie Li's shouts were getting louder and louder.
Nie Li yelling for help alone was fine, but Nie Li was yelling that the Sacred Family was committing murder. That was simply pouring the foul water onto the Sacred Family, branding them as criminals!
Shen Yue was simply about to go mad. Right now he couldn't retreat.
"Beat him up, ruthlessly beat him up!" Shen Yue roared.
Shen Yue's lackeys were filled with grievances. They had already tried hard enough, but no matter how they attacked Nie Li, he didn't sustain any injuries. On the contrary, they were beaten by Nie Li until their bones were about to shatter. Nie Li's punches seemed light, but they were full of power, beating them blue and black.
"What are you guys doing?" a lovable voice sounded soon after. A slender figure skimmed over. It was Xiao Ning'er.
Xiao Ning'er stood guard in front of Nie Li, furiously glaring at Shen Yue and bunch. A cyan glow shined on her body. She was already a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritualist. Her hands were holding onto a Blue Moon Dagger, and she was prepared to act at any time.
"Shen Yue, you're too much." Another lovely voice sounded. A beautiful, slender figure skimmed over from the side. It was Ye Ziyun. She furiously glared at Shen Yue and said, "Shen Yue, I never thought that you were this kind of person!"
"Nie Li, are you okay?" Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun both looked towards Nie Li at the same time.
Seeing Ye Ziyun's concern for Nie Li, Xiao Ning'er's face froze, and she cast her look away.
Ye Ziyun was also feeling slightly awkward, and she turned her head towards Shen Yue.
"Ziyun, you misunderstood, it isn't like that!" Shen Yue tried to explain. Seeing the faint mockery on Nie Li's face, he came to understand what had happened. He had been fooled by Nie Li! Shen Yue pointed towards Nie Li saying, "It's this brat that lured us here, he's behind it!"
"Shen Yue, who are you trying to fool?" Xiao Ning'er got angrier, "Isn't the excuse that you're using a little too retarded?"
At this moment, Nie Li's face looked full of innocence. Nie Li righteously rebuked Shen Yue saying "I admit that I have offended your Sacred Family, but weren't you guys too much. Actually wanting to kill someone in school? What do you think this Holy Orchid Institute is? Although my family can't be compared to yours, I'm not at the mercy of you. I'd like to see to what extent your Sacred Family will be overbearing! I, Nie Li, am proud! Unless you kill me, it's impossible for me to yield to you villains!
Nie Li's righteous words caused Shen Yue to simply vomit from anger.
Hearing Nie Li's words, no matter if it was Xiao Ning'er or Ye Ziyun, they couldn't help but look at Nie Li with admiration. Xiao Ning'er's heart was filled with even more admiration for Nie Li.
'I too, will not yield to the Sacred Family!' Xiao Ning'er secretly thought. She was simply filled with hatred for the Sacred Family! In her view, the Sacred Family had always been vile and repulsive. Just the fact that they were forcing her to marry Shen Fei alone could attest to that!
