Chapter 9 – Goddess’s Breakfast

Dawn Twilight

It's time for Shen Xiu's lesson again. However, Nie Li, Du Ze, Ji Ren and Lu Piao felt that her lessons were simply pointless and boring. All she did was gabble away at the stage daily. Of course, during Shen Xiu's lesson, the group would be standing at the back of the class. The lesson will be starting soon and students were gathering in small groups, chit chatting.

Despite Ye Ziyun's status, she didn't have much of a barrier with the other students. She, quickly, became friendly with many female students in the class. Naturally, Shen Yue would pridefully sit at a corner. With his status, he couldn't be bothered to interact with the other students in the class. If it wasn't for Ye Ziyun being in this class, he wouldn't be coming in the first place. At the coming test in two months time, no matter if it's him or Ye Ziyun, both of them would definitely enter into the junior Demon Spiritualist class. Shen Yue looked at Nie Li standing at the back of the class. His face stretched into a sarcastic smile. "Reaching 1-star Bronze rank in two months, if trash like you can accomplish that, then the sun would be rising from the west!" he muttered sarcastically.

Nie Li, Du Ze, Ji Ren and Lu Piao were at the back, chatting among themselves. In addition, there were a few commoner students that built good relationship with the group. Since Nie Li had a lot of wisdom in art of alchemy and cultivation, he would coach them in their training from time to time. Ji Ren helped them in combat training and in teaching them several minor healing techniques. With how much they helped them, Nie Li and Ji Ren naturally became the leaders of this small group. Even Du Ze, who had more prestige within the commoner student body, was willing to listen to what Nie Li and Ji Ren said.

In just a few days, They had earned roughly around sixteen thousand Demon Spirit coins. Du Ze never imagined he would earn such a large amount of money.He fully trusted and admired both Nie Li and Ji Ren, feeling that they were very capable. "Nie Li, what's our next step?" Du Ze asked. After all, Nie Li previously said that they were not going to continue hunting horned sheep. What are they going to do now?

"You'll know after school!" Nie Li said, smiling mysteriously. He already had everything planned out. The first step is to buy some soul crystals to test their talent properly and immediately begin their training. Nie Li still has his bet with Shen Xiu. He must become a 1-star Bronze rank Demon Spiritist in two months!

Leaving his training aside, Nie Li looked towards Ye Ziyun who was sitting with a group of girls chit chatting. How can he get close to Ye Ziyun? How can he get Ye Ziyun to fall for him?

He looked at Ji Ren and saw him looking again at the direction, where Xiao Ning'er was sitting, Nie Li then said "So, anything happened last night?" Ji Ren replied without turning his head "I know you were watching". Nie Li was stunned "That's impossible, my aura hiding technique is at master level." "You might be, but that's not the point, I just speculated on hunch….guess I was right." Ji Ren said finally turning to Nie Li with a small smile. "Damn it… I can't believe I fell for that" Nie Li grumbled.

Just as they both were conversing, Xiao Ning'er, who was sitting at the front row, suddenly stood up and walked towards Ji Ren's direction.

Xiao Ning'er was the only girl in the class who is beautiful, outstanding and comparable to Ye Ziyun. The two girl's every move and action would attract the direction of everyone in the class. Ye Ziyun's character was gentle. She never looked down on others nor was she arrogant. Therefore many commoner girls are willing to be friends with her. As for Xiao Ning'er, her character came off as cold and aloof, making her an ice beauty.

Even a girl couldn't get close to her, let alone a boy. Could it be that Ji Ren provoked Xiao Ning'er? But Ji Ren didn't look like a guy you would want to mess with as he had kind weird aura about him, still he was no match for Xiao Ning'er

"Ji Ren's dead!" Seeing Xiao Ning'er's back in their view, a few of the noble kids started to discuss while they laughed. For Xiao Ning'er to take the initiative to go to Ji Ren it would certainly not be a good thing. Otherwise, how could an ice beauty like Xiao Ning'er have any relationship with Ji Ren?

Xiao Ning'er's cultivation will soon reach 1-star Bronze rank's realm. If there was any conflict between them, Ji Ren would certainly be the one getting trashed!

These noble kids were prepared to watch a good show. Among them there were a lot of boys that liked Xiao Ning'er. After all, Xiao Ning'er is a super beauty that is not a bit inferior to Ye Ziyun.

Today, Xiao Ning'er deliberately wore a checker laced dress. Her brownish-orange hair scattered around on her back. She wore a bracelet on her jade white wrist. Usually, Xiao Ning'er would wear a tight fitting jacket as it was convenient to train with. With her beauty, the tight fitting jacket gained a unique flavor when she wore it. However, she seemed to have dressed herself up today. She was even more beautiful compared to how she usually dressed. This made it harder for the others to look away after taking a glance at her. Being meticulously dressed up was a first for Xiao Ning'er.

Nie Li, Du Ze, Ji Ren and Lu Piao were talking amongst themselves when Xiao Ning'er reached Ji Ren's table. Xiao Ning'er seemed to have some sort of unique aura around her. As she walked her way there, Du Ze and Lu Piao nervously stood up from their seat. Xiao Ning'er's usually icy, indifferent attitude towards others would cause other people to back away from her. The both of them are worried for Ji Ren. Nie Li, of course, knew what this was about.

Last night, after she had been massaged by Ji Ren, Xiao Ning'er's body became a lot better, and she slept particularly sweet that night. Xiao Ning'er visited the library early in the morning. She was trying to find the origin of the Daoyin Technique. However, to her surprise, the Daoyin Technique was only briefly recorded in the library. It was known as a cheat technique that was handed down from the Snow Wind Empire Age!

In addition, the cultivation technique that was modified by Ji Ren became more advanced. Her soul force grew by two with only half an hour of training in the morning. The effect of that half an hour of training was even better than training for an entire day!

In the heart of Xiao Ning'er, Ji Ren is a mysterious and powerful being. What made Xiao Ning'er proud was that in this class, she was the only one that knew of Ji Ren and Nie Li's talent! For those in the class that laughed at the group were simply ignorant! She stood by the side of Ji Ren's table and quietly looked at Ji Ren as he continued to talk and laugh to Nie Li as though nothing had happened.

Several noble kids continued to discuss quietly.

"How do you think Xiao Ning'er will teach Ji Ren a lesson?"

"Ji Ren's soul force is not even 20, he will probably be thrown out of the class!" "Haha, this people like Nie Li and Ji Ren doesn't know their place. First Nie Li offended teacher Shen Xiu and now Ji Ren actually went and provoked Xiao Ning'er as well. Their life will be very miserable!"

Even Du Ze, and Lu Piao were nervously looking at Xiao Ning'er. They didn't understand why a prideful girl like Xiao Ning'er would suddenly walk towards them. The both of them began cursing Ji Ren to death in their hearts. Ji Ren actually went around looking for trouble! If Xiao Ning'er wants to beat Ji Ren up, they will naturally lend a hand. But even if the four of them worked together, they couldn't fight against the 78 soul force of Xiao Ning'er. She will soon reach 1-star Bronze rank, becoming an actual Demon Spiritualist!

At this moment, even Ye Ziyun and Shen Yue looked towards Ji Ren's direction. Ye Ziyun has some doubts. She doesn't know how Ji Ren provoked Xiao Ning'er. Could Ji Ren have done "something" to Xiao Ning'er? A lecher like Ji Ren should really be taught a lesson!

Everyone had doubts in their eyes. They watched as Xiao Ning'er stood in front of his table. Ji Ren couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He raised his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Currently, Ji Ren didn't know how to address Xiao Ning'er. He knew that she was falling in love with him again. He still loved her of course. But he had made his oath with the conviction of not letting her suffer, if he accepts her, he knows he will bring her suffering.

Xiao Ning'er's right hand slightly moved.

She took out a paper bag from her interspatial ring and gently said, "This is the breakfast that I've made. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made a few sets." Xiao Ning'er gently placed the paper bag on the table.

What? What's happening?

The whole classroom went silent. If a needle were to be dropped onto the floor, it would be clearly heard. Everyone thought that they misheard what Xiao Ning'er just said.

Du Ze and Lu Piao dropped their jaws and dumbly stared at the scene. With how open their mouths were, one can simply fit an egg into them. Nie Li had a huge grin on his face. They were unable to believe the scene before their eyes. Xiao Ning'er is one of the two goddesses in their class. Even if they were compared to all the beauties in the school, they would definitely get the top few positions as the school's top beauties. Her beauty and her usual icy cold attitude made her seem unapproachable. However, today, what do they see? Xiao Ning'er actually made breakfast for Ji Ren, and even a few sets of it.

Was the sun sun rising from the west? Is this real? Everyone thought they were struck by lightning. They were standing there, dumbfounded. "I must be dreaming, I need to wake up!" one student murmured. "Owww!" A few students thought that they're also dreaming, therefore, they pinched themselves. However, the pain they felt clearly told them that this was not a dream.

"This doesn't making sense!" A few noble kids wailed in their heart. They still don't know what happened. They couldn't believe the clothes and the gentleness that Xiao Ning'er revealed. They originally thought that their Ning'er goddess was going to find trouble with Ji Ren. They never thought, in their wildest imaginations, that she was actually giving him breakfast! If Xiao Ning'er were to give them breakfast, even if it's swine food, they would still find it sweet!

Xiao Ning'er usually doesn't have many female friends. She ignored the boys that approached her, except for that trash Ji Ren. She would actually put down her status to serve breakfast to Ji Ren. This…..this... simply doesn't make any sense! Is it because Ji Ren went of his own accord to stand with his friend, Nie Li because he contradicted Shen Xiu? If so, even if they were punished to stand for several years, they, too, would contradict teacher Shen Xiu!

Xiao Ning'er did not think of it that much. She only wanted to show her gratitude to Ji Ren. She didn't even care about the opinion of what the others thought about her. After all, she has always been a lone wolf. Xiao Ning'er doesn't care for other people's thoughts. Those who ridiculed and contempted Nie Li and Ji Ren, were simply ignorant. There will be a day when they realise that their views was wrong!

In this world, only she knows of Ji Ren's talent! In this moment, even Ye Ziyun and Shen Yue were stunned in their seats. They were unable to believe what they just saw. What happened was simply unbelievable! "How is this happening?" Shen Yue's face became sullen. 'How could a prideful girl like Xiao Ning'er fancy trash like Ji Ren, and even took the initiative to approach him?'

At this moment, Ye Ziyun felt deeply curious about Nie Li and his group. Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er had been close friends when they were young. However, due to the decline of Xiao Ning'er's family, the two families no longer interacted. Since then, Ye Ziyun has never made a true friend. She would, sometimes, reminisce about the playful times she had with Xiao Ning'er. When she found out that Xiao Ning'er entered the Holy Orchid Institute, Ye Ziyun got her father to arrange for her to enter as well.

Because of Xiao Ning'er, Ye Ziyun began to take notice of the group. What's the reason that caused Xiao Ning'er to take the initiative to chase after someone like Ji Ren with no contributions at all? She couldn't understand the meaning behind Xiao Ning'er's action. 'Nie Li must have been involved in this, with the way he is grinning' Ye Ziyun thought.

"Can I sit down and eat with you?" Xiao Ning'er looked at Ji Ren and then towards Du Ze, Lu Piao and Nie Li while she asked.

Du Ze and Lu Piao's gaze fell onto Ji Ren. Although the both of them wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about Xiao Ning'er, having a beauty like Xiao Ning'er to sit beside them was still good to the eyes. Ji Ren was silent for a moment and he looked at Nie Li. Who gave him a thumbs up, then Ji Ren said, "Okay".

Without knowing why, after seeing Xiao Ning'er, Ji Ren couldn't help to think of last night's scene. Xiao Ning'er's soft, boneless figure, with her creamy jade white skin still made him recall his previous life. Xiao Ning'er took the breakfast out. There was all types of pastries inside. Seeing those pastries caused others to suddenly have the appetite to eat. The fragrance wafted into every corner of the classroom.

"Du Ze, Lu Piao, Nie Li you guys dig in, too!" Xiao Ning'er said, looking towards Du Ze, Lu Piao and Nie Li. They couldn't help feeling flattered when Xiao Ning'er called out their names. The icy cold Ning'er goddess isn't that hard to interact with, unlike what others have said.

"Then we've benefited because of Ji Ren!" Lu Piao laughed as he took one of pastries and started to eat. With his mouth bulging with food, he muttered "Delicious!"

Seeing Lu Piao's action, Du Ze became somewhat speechless. Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but smile. Her smile was both charming and attractive, making the students in the class look somewhat dull. They rarely saw Xiao Ning'er's smile. Their whole world collapsed in front of it.

Ji Ren slightly sigh in his heart. Everything she was doing reminded of their time together. He could never stop loving her. But he could not let her come close to him as it would be her downfall. He was a curse the moment he was born. The only person he could depend on would be Nie Li. Therefore, the relationship between him and Xiao Ning'er was only friends.

Nie Li observed Ji Ren in the middle of eating and clearly saw something was wrong, some despair and guilt was there in his eyes. He decided to ask him when the time is right.
