Children of Influential Families

Under the bright moonlight, the forest was filled with mottled shadows.

It was a romantic atmosphere.

After helping Xiao Ning'er massage her bruises, Nie Li watched as Xiao Ning'er slowly put her clothes on. Both of them did not speak a word.

Xiao Ning'er raised her head to look at Nie Li. That serious and calm expression on his face, and feeling the warmth from her bruised area, Xiao Ning'er was filled with gratitude. If it wasn't for Nie Li, she wouldn't know how long she would have had to struggle with the pain. It was Nie Li that had rescued her from the endless mire.

Nie Li felt somewhat awkward being stared at by Xiao Ning'er. After all, some places that should not have been touched had already been touched, and they felt good.

"Nie Li, you've offended the Sacred Family, you must be careful." Xiao Ning'er knew that the Sacred Family was despicable and shameless. That year, the reason her Winged Dragon Family had declined had been due to them falling into the Sacred Family's trap and causing more than 80% of the family property to enter the Sacred Family's control. It had left them with no choice but to attach themselves to the Sacred Family.

Even now the Winged Dragon Family still had yet to recover from that, and had become the last of all the Noble families and would soon fall to the level of an Aristocratic family.

"I'm well-aware. The Sacred Family is a fame seeking family, so they can't go after me. I reckon they will need to wait for a few months until everything calms down before they can go after me." Nie Li said, faintly laughing. After those few months, he would already have a counter-measure.

Seeing that Nie Li's eyes were filled with self-confidence, Xiao Ning'er had a feeling that no matter what problems were in front of Nie Li, to him, those were not issues. Her heart was filled with admiration for Nie Li.

"Get a piece of unused soul crystal after you go back, I'll help you test your innate talent." Nie Li said towards Xiao Ning'er. With the deepening of their mutual understanding, Nie Li felt that Xiao Ning'er was a good girl. Who knew, one day she might even become a powerful helper of his. Nie Li had decided to teach her a powerful cultivation technique.

"Unused soul crystal? What for?" Xiao Ning'er asked while taking a piece of soul crystal out from her interspatial ring, "I have 3 pieces here."

"So you have it with you, that's great." Nie Li laughed, taking a piece among the three, "Inject your soul force into it and let me see."

"Okay," Xiao Ning'er nodded her head and injected her soul force into the crystal, the crystal released a dazzling light. Inside, the light, was slowly forming into a Winged Dragon shape, flying.

Nie Li looked at Xiao Ning'er astoundedly "Soul force of 83, Wind Lightning attribute, Winged Dragon soul form."

No wonder Xiao Ning'er had trained so fast in the previous life. Even though she had been bedridden for two years, her cultivation had still increased quickly. She actually had the Winged Dragon soul form, a peerless talent within ten thousand people. Having that kind of soul form, no matter which cultivation technique was practiced, the cultivation would increase very fast. If she were to practice a Wind Lightning attribute cultivation technique then it would be even more incredible.

"Wind Lightning attribute, Winged Dragon shaped soul form, what are those?" Xiao Ning'er couldn't understand what Nie Li just said. Doubt filled her beautiful pupils.

"It means that you are suitable for Wind Lightning attributed cultivation techniques." Nie Li thought for awhile and said, "I have such a cultivation technique here with me, I'll give it to you."

This cultivation technique had been found by Nie Li in a lost, ancient city. It was the most suitable cultivation technique for people with Winged Dragon shaped soul form to practice. Once she started practising it, her cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, much faster than Nie Li's and the others'...

The Winged Dragon shaped soul form, this talent was so excellent that even Nie Li felt jealous!

"This cultivation technique is much stronger than the one you're practising!" Nie Li said as he imparted the chant of the cultivation technique to Xiao Ning'er.

Xiao Ning'er memorised the cultivation technique, and upon chanting it, the power she felt was really that of a Wind Lightning attribute cultivation method and it was simply too strong and unparalleled! All those cultivation techniques that she had seen before were all trash before this cultivation technique!

"This cultivation technique is called the Lightning Dragon cultivation technique!" Nie Li laughed, "It's the most suitable cultivation technique for you!"

"Thank you." Xiao Ning'er raised her head, gratefully looking at Nie Li. She didn't even know how to repay Nie Li's kindness, first he had freed her from her pain and suffering, then he gave her such a powerful cultivation technique. Nibbling on her lips as her complexion started to heat up, she said "I don't know how to repay you. But no matter what you want me to do, I am willing."

Hearing Xiao Ning'er's gentle words caused Nie Li's heart to shake. Looking at the charming Xiao Ning'er, he bitterly smiled and said, "We're friends, it's natural to help each other. When I have trouble in the future, you will also help me right?"

"En," Xiao Ning'er nodded. A brief disappointment flashed through her beautiful pupils. If Nie Li were to ask her to become his girlfriend at this moment, she would certainly agree without hesitation.

They both practised for a few hours. Xiao Ning'er practised the Lightning Dragon technique for awhile. The surge in her cultivation was unimaginable. People with Winged Dragon shaped soul form were already peerless talents that appeared once in tens of thousands, combining this with practising superior cultivation techniques suitable for their physique, their cultivation speed would simply advance explosively.

Although the Heavenly God cultivation technique was way stronger than the Lightning Dragon technique in the end, during the early phases of practice, the rate of increase in cultivation from practicing the Lightning Dragon technique was much faster than from practicing the Heavenly God technique!

When dawn arrived, Xiao Ning'er's body emitted faint cyan light.

"The Lightning Dragon technique's cultivating speed is too fearsome. In just a little while, she's actually reached the edge of the 1-star Bronze rank." Nie Li couldn't help but sigh in sorrow, Him, Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the trio were a lot more mediocre compared to her.

When Xiao Ning'er opened her eyes, Nie Li had already left. Xiao Ning'er's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. Since she had been young, she had rarely associated with boys. Nie Li was the only boy which had caused her to view him in a new light. Thinking about Nie Li, Xiao Ning'er's heart felt warmth.

If she had never met Nie Li, how dark would her life be? Without him how could it have been like this, full of hope?

She had already decided. It didn't matter if Nie Li liked her or not, she would always be by Nie Li's side, until the day Nie Li took note of her existence.

If at this moment, those boys who had crushes on Xiao Ning'er knew of her decision, how heartbroken would they be.

'Soul force of 92, I'll soon reach the 1-star Bronze rank!' Xiao Ning'er was covered with sweat. That stickiness caused her a little discomfort, but her skin seemed to have become even more tender and crystal clear.

After taking a look at the direction in which Nie Li had left, Xiao Ning'er packed her stuff and walked towards the exit of the training ground.

After dawn.

Every single herbal store in Glory City had had mysterious people, dressed as if they were servants from a large family, frantically buying the Purple Haze Grass in their shops. With the volume they had been buying, the Purple Haze Grass in their stores and their inventories going back for several years had all been cleared out.

"Why are they buying so much Purple Haze Grass?"

"I think I know those guys, it's the Winged Dragon Family's Miss Xiao Ning'er's servants!"

"What would Miss Xiao Ning'er need so much Purple Haze Grass for? Really, I can't figure it out!"

Purple Haze Grass, other than being used for its insect repellant smoke from burning it, had no other use to it. Based on the size of the Winged Dragon Family's house ten pounds of Purple Haze Grass would be more than enough, but these servant had bought hundreds of thousands of pounds of Purple Haze Grass. This amount caused people to be stupefied.

All of the Purple Haze Grass was acquired by the servants sent by Xiao Ning'er. Some shops even picked out Purple Haze Grass in their herb garden in order to sell it all. Probably for the next 3 years, Glory City would have a shortage of Purple Haze Grass. But no one cared if Purple Haze Grass was available or not.

When Nie Li received the interspatial ring filled with Purple Haze Grass, he was simply stupefied. Several hundreds of thousands of pounds of Purple Haze Grass, he feared that it would have totaled several hundreds of thousands of demon spirit coins. Such a large amount of money was not a small sum!

But Xiao Ning'er didn't care about it, if Nie Li was happy, she was willing to do anything. Furthermore, it was only several hundreds of thousands of demon spirit coins. When comparing values, several hundreds of thousands of demon spirit coins weren't even worth 1% of the Lightning Dragon cultivation technique.

Knowing that Xiao Ning'er's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, had reached over 90 in just a few days and would soon reach the 1-star Bronze rank, the whole Winged Dragon Family grew excited. They gave Xiao Ning'er hundreds of thousands of demon spirit coins and a variety of valuable training materials, so Xiao Ning'er was not lacking money.

Although in decline, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The Winged Dragon Family's finances were still quite amazing, and they were not a bit stingy when it came to the training of the younger generation.

With so much Purple Haze Grass, Nie Li was very satisfied. Although he had no way to return the money to Xiao Ning'er now, it wouldn't be long before he could repay her.

Whether it was Du Ze or Lu Piao, they were very puzzled. They couldn't understand what Nie Li intended to do with so much Purple Haze Grass. Nie Li found a seat in the library and started writing.

That afternoon, lots of people were going in and out of the library. Du Ze and Lu Piao were reading some books related to Inscription Patterns and combat skills under Nie Li's guidance. If one wanted to cultivate to a high level, one would first need to become a knowledgeable master.

After practising their cultivation techniques, their brain had undergone a certain level of development. They would not forget general knowledge and their learning ability had also become very fast.

A distance away from Nie Li and the others, a group of students were gathered together. They were extremely lively.

"This piece of armour in my hand is called the Flaming Dark Armour. It's Bronze ranked and unless one has 100 thousand demon spirit coins, they won't be able to get it!" One student said, proudly showing off his red armour. With his tall build and wearing that armour, he had some martial aura around him.

He was Chen Linjian, and belonged to one of the Major families. He was one of the Divine Family's direct descendent, 15 years old and already at the 5-star Bronze rank, soon to reach 1-star Silver rank. Among the Major families, the Divine Family was the wealthiest. Chen Linjian was quite prestigious among the students, with a bunch of brothers around him.

"Putting on this Flaming Dark Armour, you will be invincible under the Silver rank!"

"Cool armour!"

Upon seeing it, several girls beside revealed envious expression. Among them quite a few of them threw flirtatious glances towards Chen Linjian from time to time.

"I gift you this!" Chen Linjian waved his hand, throwing that Flaming Dark Armour to one of his men.

Battle armour that was worth 100 thousand demon spirit coins was gifted just like this? Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

It was just that 100 thousand demon spirit coins weren't much to Chen Linjian. Faintly laughing, he said, "There are six 5-year old Holy Dark Grasses here. They were taken from my home, as long as you follow me and work hard, there won't be any lack of benefits for you guys!"
