Chapter 11

After kissing again for around 10 minutes, Nie Li separates from Yang Xin.

She still had her eyes closed. Only after a few moments did she realized that Nie Li wasn't Kissing her.

She opened her eyes and said "What was that? It felt different than before."

"My new technique, how is it?" Nie Li asks.

"I got addicted to it. My mind went blank." Yang Xin says.

"Want to continue?" Nie Li asks.

Yang Xin shook her head sideways and said "I can but, I have work to do. I am still the director here.

Luckily no one came to visit me or had work with me. We will continue this tomorrow."

Nie Li says while wearing his clothes "I won't be in the city tomorrow."

He thought 'I have to still control myself. It is still her first time. I will go and make out with Xiao Ning'er.'

He left and Yang Xin got back to her work.

The night went as usual and the next morning, Nie Li gathered at the designated place.

Ye Ziyun, Shen Yue and Chen Linjian had already arrived.

A kid with grey hair behind Chen Linjian says "Young master Chen, did we really wait this much time only for this kid?"

Chen Linjian says to the kid "Chu Yuan, this is Nie Li. He will also be joining us."

Chu Yuan becomes silent when he heard his name. Nie Li is a pretty famous in the city.

Shen Yue frowned and mumbled "Just when I thought I will be alone with Ye Ziyun, you had to come and spoil my plan to get closer to her."

"Sorry about that. I was busy." Nie Li says and they all leave for the Ancient Orchid City.

They travel for a while through the woods and as the sun sets, they camped.

Nie Li is chatting with Ye Ziyun when his clones found some beasts which looks like the crossbred between a fox and a bear.

Nie Li's clones quickly dealt with them. After they were done killing them and absorbing their life essence, the clones sensed someone behind them.

Suddenly four people attacked Nie Li's two clones.

Chen Linjian enters and asks "Who are you?"

Nie Li's clones started fighting Chen Linjian's body guards.

"I was correct. You guys are indeed the dark guild members. Kill them." Chen Linjian says.

Nie Li says to Ye Ziyun "My bodyguards are being mistook as dark guild members. Chen Linjian's bodyguards are fighting them.

I have to stop them before they harm Chen Linjian's bodyguards."

Nie Li and Ye Ziyun walk towards the battlefield. Others also follow the noises and reach the battlefield.

Nie Li says to Chen Linjian "Chen Linjian, stop it they are my bodyguards."

When his bodyguards heard that, they stopped. Nie Li's clones immediately disappear.

Chen Linjian walks up to Nie Li and asks "If they were your guards, hwy didn't they tell so?"

"Those idiots are bored following me. So, they are itching to fight someone.

That's why they also wiped out all the fox bears. I should plan something for them." Nie Li says.

"Ask them to mention that before itself. My bodyguards would have killed them." Chen Linjian says.

"Try it if you can next time." Nie Li says, giving his back to Chen Linjian.

Chen Linjian says to his Shen Yue "Next time, be careful of what you report to me."

'Such cheap plans wouldn't work. Try harder next time.' Nie Li says in his head while saying to others "We will have to move from here if no one wants to become beast food."

Chen Linjian says supporting the idea "Yes.The blood would attract other beasts nearby."

They all leave from there and travel out of the woods.

While travelling, a woman with pink hair till her shoulders, approaches Nie Li.

She says to Nie Li "Hello. I am Huyan Lanruo. I am young master Chen Linjian's friend." in a flirting tone.

"Hi, I am Nie Li." Nie Li introduces himself.

Nie Li then continues walking. She thought 'Interesting, he is not like other men. I couldn't read his thoughts.'

'She is someone who are proud do their looks. It is getting boring. I guess I will play around with her.' Nie Li thought.

Huyan Lanruo walk up to him and says "I heard you are the family head of the Jade Dragon family. Is it true?"

He just nods and doesn't even look at her. He continues talking with Ye Ziyun.

Huyan Lanruo tries to build up conversation with Nie Li but, he keeps avoiding her and tries to end the conversation.

Chu Yuan, the kid with grey hair walks up to Nie Li and asks "Can I join the conversation?"

Huyan Lanrao looks at Chu Yuan and says "We are talking about inscriptions. I don't think you can join us."

"I wouldn't consider myself an inscription master but, I definitely know more than a 13 year old kid." Chu Yuan says.

Nie Li thought 'Even Chen Linjian doesn't mind me not respecting him. He is scared of Chen Linjian but, dares to call me a kid. Interesting.'

Nie Li didn't even look at Chu Yuan and keeps walking.

Chu Yuan gets angry and shouts "Don't act all high and mighty. You were just a poor noble few days ago.

Even if you have a great family backing you, you are still a weak red soul realm.

If you really call yourself a man, fight me. I challenge you to a duel."

He looks at Huyan Lanrao to see her face. He was trying to impress her.

'So, that's what he was going for. He wanted to impress her by beating me up.' Nie Li thought.

Everyone were curiously waiting for Nie Li's answer.

"I don't want to." Nie Li says.

"I knew you would say that. Are you chickening out from a duel?" Chu Yuan says.

"Yes" Nie Li says and continues walking.

The rest start talking about how Nie Li is a coward and the Jade dragon family wasn't that big deal.

Only Chen Linjian and Huyan Lanrao understood what Nie Li's intentions were.

"This kid is more matured than most men in the city." Huyan Lanrao says and Ye Ziyun beside her asks with a confused face "Why is that?"

"You would understand only if you grow up. When you are strong or have power, there would be battles which are beneath our standards.

Fighting in those battles would make us more pathetic. If he fought with him and won, it would make his standards and levels fall down to their level." Huyan Lanrao explains.

They kept travelling and others kept making fun of Nie Li, which didn't bother him at all.

They reached the Ancient Orchid City. Chen Linjian opens the map of the city when they heard a roar.

All turn to see where it came from. There are six blue armed apes behind them.

Chen Linjian says to Nie Li "I thought your guards would eliminate them. Why are they here?"

"I was getting rusty. That's why I asked them to leave it to me." Nie Li says.

The others thought that Nie Li was taking revenge for what they said about him.

They all got into battle formation and hid behind rumbles for cover, everyone except Nie Li.

Huyan Lanrao calls out to Nie Li ans says " Nie Li, they are not easy to deal with. Even silver rank spiritualists would have a hard time dealing with them."

Nie Li didn't listen and just stood there. Ye Ziyun wanted to run to Nie Li and bring him back.

Seeing that it was too late as the apes were close to Nie Li, Huyan Lanrao holds Ye Ziyun and keeps her from going.

Shen Yue thought 'I never thought you would throw away your life this easily. Here I was making plans to kill you.'

The apes got closer to Nie Li when suddenly, they stopped at their tracks and were trembling.

Everyone looked at the scared apes and were shocked.

"Did Nie Li do something?" one of the kids at the back asked.

Chen Linjian, Huyan Lanrao, Ye Ziyun and some other people who were close to Nie Li felt it.

It was his presence which was scary for them. It wasn't the presence Shen Xiu felt.

When Nie Li visited Shen Xiu, he just used a little bit of the presence of the soul. He sent it through his soul force to her.

What Nie Li used now was Conqueror's haki. All the normal apes ran away and only the strong one stayed.

It is a grade demon beast with a grade of around 5 start gold rank.

Nie Li smiles at it and says "You sure are a daring one."

The ape runs towards Nie Li and lifts his hands to slam Nie Li.

Nie Li stops him with just his single hand and pushes him back.

The ape doesn't back down. It jumps onto a branch and moves to different trees.

Then suddenly, it jumps towards Nie Li, aiming at his back.

"Trying to sneak up on me? You sure are an intelligent one." Nie Li says.

The ape pulls its fist back, preparing to punch Nie Li and Nie Li also does the same.

Both their punches collide and shockwaves release from their fists.

The air was felt by others. They all thought only one thing 'I have to apologize to him after the fight.'

The ape uses its other arm to hit Nie Li, aiming to send him flying.

Nie Li uses his other hand to block it. Nie Li's physique is now currently the best.

His physique is same as the legend rank spiritualists.

(If you think that's too much. In the story, Duan Jian, with only a dragon bloodline, got a black gold rank physique when his bloodline awakened.

It makes sense for Nie Li to have a legend tank physique when he has that many bloodlines.)

Nie Li and the ape exchanged many blows and kept hitting each other.

The ape slowly showed signs of tiredness and there were small bruises in some areas.

The onlookers wondered what was the rank of the ape and Nie Li's.

The ape lifts both its arms, aiming to hammer Nie Li.

Nie Li uses both his hands to stop them. After catching the ape's arms, it continued to press down on Nie Li.

Then suddenly he moves one hand and hits an arrow aimed at his heart.

The arrow hits Nie Li's arm but, when it makes contact with Nie Li's black fist, it shattered.

Others look to see who shot it and it was Shen Yue.

He wanted to kill Nie Li while he is busy fighting the ape.

Nie Li also felt that he had to finish the fight. He pushes the ape's arms,which managed to leave the ape's body open for a second.

He then pulls his fist back to punch and punches but, doesn't even touch it.

He then turns back and starts walking towards Ye Ziyun.

The ape moves a little. Seeing it move Ye Ziyun shouts "Nie Li, look out."

But then, it spits out blood and collapses.

Chen Linjian took his guards and went to check out what happened to the ape.

One person looks at it and says "It is dead."
