Ice Phoenix

Nie Li sat down in front of Ye Ziyun.

"Classmate Ye Ziyun, we meet again."Nie Li said, as he smiled faintly.

Nie Li had a kind of calm and self-confident temperament, boys of his age were far from him. But right now, Ye Ziyun didn't have any special affection for Nie Li, only a little curiosity as well as her heartfelt admiration for Nie Li.

Nie Li's knowledge was indeed vast and profound, even Aunt Xue thought that Nie Li was an inscription master.

Nie Li's altered Inscription Pattern had been made into a scroll by Aunt Xue and it was indeed a Silver rank Inscription Pattern. One could barely imagine the psychological impact Ye Ziyun had felt upon finding out that Nie Li even knew a Silver rank Inscription Pattern!

"Nie Li, I tested the Inscription Pattern when I got back, and it is indeed the completed version of the Icy Wind, Sudden Snow Inscription Pattern!" Ye Ziyun said looking towards Nie Li.

But Nie Li's face showed no prideful expression, he only replied with "oh". For Nie Li, this sort of thing wasn't something worthy to brag about.

As a member of the Snow Wind Family, although Ye Ziyun didn't show it, she was still a little prideful in her heart. When she thought back, although Nie Li was talented, he had always been low-profile in class and had never showed off his talents. That was until Shen Xiu's words angered him, only then did he retort. In contrast, Ye Ziyun felt a little ashamed. Compared to Nie Li she really had nothing to show off.

At this moment, Ye Ziyun began to admire Nie Li a little. Although it couldn't go to the extent of liking him, Nie Li was already the only boy that she was willing to have contact with.

But for Nie Li, this was already a big improvement.

"Nie Li, here is the soul crystal that you told me to bring." Ye Ziyun brought out her soul crystal.

"Inject your soul force into the soul crystal!" Nie Li said, looking towards Ye Ziyun. In the previous life, Ye Ziyun had always been his woman, therefore he would not be stingy towards her.

After seeing the shape of Ye Ziyun's soul, Nie Li gasped. He never thought that Ye Ziyun's talent was even above of Xiao Ning'er's. Her soul form was a mass of ice and within it, slept a phoenix.

This was the legendary Ice Phoenix soul shape.

It was one of the most powerful soul forms.

The Ice Phoenix's cultivation speed would be the same as the Winged Dragon's, but once it stepped into the Black Gold rank, the Ice Phoenix would evolve and the cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. It was a pity that in the previous life Ye Ziyun hadn't managed to reach the Black Gold rank and had died in battle. Otherwise Ye Ziyun would most likely have become one of Glory City's pillars.

"Snow Wind attribute, Ice Phoenix soul form!" Nie Li raised his head to look at Ye Ziyun. His eyes were full of excitement as he said, "I'll teach you a cultivation technique!"

"Teach me cultivation technique? What technique is it?" Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li in surprise. Her cultivation technique was already the strongest Snow Wind cultivation technique in the Snow Wind Family. Could Nie Li have a better cultivation technique than that?

The Snow Wind Family was the number one family in Glory City. Even the Sacred Family and the Divine Family couldn't be compared to it because the Snow Wind Family had a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist watching over it, the legendary figure Ye Mo! The various collections of the Snow Wind Family weren't something that an ordinary person could imagine. Because Ye Mo loved to explore the Divine Continent, he had explored ancient ruins in St. Ancestral Mountains, and obtained many powerful cultivation techniques which he then translated.

"It's the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique!" Nie Li imparted the chants of the cultivation technique to Ye Ziyun. Although the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique wasn't the strongest technique that Ye Ziyun was able to practice, it was the most mysterious technique. Upon success in practising this technique, she would be able to have nine lives. As long as the soul didn't get destroyed she could be revived.

In this life, Nie Li would not let Ye Ziyun leave him again!

Ye Ziyun chanted the technique a few times silently. She was shocked to find how powerful this technique was! The techniques that the Snow Wind Family had collected could not be compared to this!

"Thank you, Nie Li!" Ye Ziyun sincerely thanked him. It was a little unexpected for her that Nie Li would actually impart such a precious cultivation technique to her, after all they had just met.

In Ye Ziyun's view, she and Nie Li had just met for a little while, but in Nie Li's view he had already known Ye Ziyun for far too long and in his heart. Ye Ziyun was already his woman, therefore, a little thing like the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes cultivation technique couldn't be considered much.

Ye Ziyun started practicing the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenixes technique for awhile and her soul force in her soul realm started surging up violently. This cultivation technique was simply tailor-made for her!

Just as Nie Li and Ye Ziyun were chatting away, a person walked towards their direction, that person was Shen Yue.

Seeing Nie Li and Ye Ziyun happily chatting and the beautiful charming smile revealed on Ye Ziyun's face, Shen Yue couldn't suppress the jealousy inside his heart anymore and walked towards them from a distance away.

"Ziyun!" Shen Yue faintly smiled as he looked towards Ye Ziyun.

"En." Ye Ziyun softly replied. The current her already didn't have any good impressions of Shen Yue.

Shen Yue sat down beside her while looking at Nie Li with hint of chill in his eyes.

The atmosphere between the three youngsters suddenly became awkward.

"Nie Li, we meet again." Shen Yue sneered, revealing some faint hostility.

"What, was the lesson last time not enough?" Nie Li had a look of leisure on his face, as if from the beginning to the end, he had never placed Shen Yue in his eyes.

"You..." Shen Yue clenched his fist tightly. If it wasn't for Ye Ziyun being present, he would definitely let his underlings teach Nie Li a lesson.

Ye Ziyun revealed a look of surprise. From the conversation between Nie Li and Shen Yue, it seemed that Shen Yue had suffered a loss by the hands of Nie Li. She was a little curious. Shen Yue, as a direct descendent of the Sacred Family, how could he swallow the loss he had suffered from Nie Li?

Shen Yue forcibly suppressed the grievance within him. He looked at Ye Ziyun and said, "My family and Ziyun's family are friends, the both of us have been playing together since we've been young and we've always been familiar with each other. Our elders are also very supportive of us associating together."

Shen Yue's words were meant to remind Nie Li that only him and Ziyun were an appropriate match and had received the consent of both side's elders. What was Nie Li considered? He actually wanted to snatch Ye Ziyun from him?

Upon listening to Shen Yue's words, Nie Li couldn't help but sneer deep in his heart. In terms of familiarity, could Shen Yue know more about her than him?

Shen Yue looked at Ye Ziyun, revealing a gentle smile on his face "It can be said that me and Ziyun have a mutual understanding of each other's preferences and habits of life."

Listening to Shen Yue's words, Ye Ziyun showed a hint of an unpleasant expression on her face. She wanted to refute Shen Yue's claims, since when had the familiarity between the both of them reached such a degree? After the few incidents in class, Ye Ziyun felt a little disgusted towards Shen Yue. The Sacred Family wasn't as glorious and sacred as they showed on the surface.

Ye Ziyun couldn't help but look at Nie Li. Nie Li wouldn't misunderstand right?

"Then why don't you say what you understand, I'd like to know." Nie Li said while his finger was gently tapping on the table. In the previous life, Ye Ziyun had almost been married to Shen Yue, therefore, in this life he wouldn't let the same thing happen again.

"Ye Ziyun loves to eat Acampe Rigida, reading books and dazing off while staring outside the window…" Shen Yue said as he looked at Ye Ziyun affectionately.

Nie Li faintly laughed and said "Actually, she doesn't like to eat Acampe Rigida, it was Lord Ye Mo that bluffed her saying that eating Acampe Rigida could strengthen one's soul force. Only fools would love to read those difficult books, Ziyun loves to explore the most, dazing off while staring out the window is because she longs for the outside world."

Hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Ziyun felt like she was struck by lightning. She stared at Nie Li. How did Nie Li know of this stuff? She had absolutely never expected that there would be someone who understood her so well.

Nie Li took a deep breath. He very much wished to be able to take Ye Ziyun traveling throughout the continent, but that wish couldn't be fulfilled in the previous life, therefore in this life, he would definitely fulfil Ye Ziyun's wish.

"You're talking nonsense…" Shen Yue tried to argue but looking at Ye Ziyun's expression, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything out loud.

"Since you understand Ye Ziyun so much, there's a butterfly-shaped mark on her body, do you know where that mark is?" Nie Li faintly smiled as he looked towards Shen Yue.

"How would I know!" Shen Yue angrily replied.

Hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Ziyun's face flushed red, how would Nie Li know of the butterfly-shaped mark on her body? A strange feeling surged up within Ye Ziyun and she stood up, "Nie Li you rogue!" Ye Ziyun stomped her foot onto the ground, mingled with shame as she ran away.

Ye Ziyun's slim back, long white dress, and slender legs caused her to look extremely attractive.

Seeing Ye Ziyun's strange reaction, Shen Yue's face was sullen. The relationship between Ye Ziyun and Nie Li was absolutely not that simple. Maybe they even committed adultery together. His face went horribly gloomy as he said, "Nie Li, remember this, I will let you die a horrible death!"

Nie Li looked at Shen Yue with disdain, sneered as he spoke "You are still far from being able to compete with me, if you still doesn't grow some eyes, I wouldn't mind giving you some lesson." After saying those words, Nie Li stood up and left.

--- City Lord's Mansion ---

Ye Ziyun's crimson red face had still not receded.

"Nie Li, you scoundrel! Scoundrel!" Ye Ziyun angrily stomped her feet. How did Nie Li know that there was a butterfly-shaped mark on her left chest? Thinking about this, Ye Ziyun felt unease in her heart. Could it be that Nie Li had peeked at her while she was bathing?

If Nie Li had seen the butterfly-shaped mark on her body, didn't that mean that he had seen every part of her body?

"No, I have to question that scoundrel!", she fumed in her heart.

Ye Ziyun was extremely shy in her heart. She gazed outside, how did Nie Li understand her so well? Nie Li couldn't have been spying on her this whole time, right? The City Lord's Mansion was huge and heavily guarded, she was afraid that not even a fly could come in.
