Relic

What kind of monster was he?!

Huyan Lanruo was already a 2-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist. Her soul realm was integrated with the Snow Sakura Demon Spirit. This extremely rare Demon Spirit lived in the depths of the St. Ancestral Mountains. It had strong charming abilities. All kinds of creatures couldn't help going near the Snow Sakura Demon Spirit and were swallowed by it. Huyan Lanruo, later, integrated with the Snow Sakura Demon. Charming a Demon Spiritualist of the same level was an easy thing to do.

If Huyan Lanruo were to exert a little trick, there would be a lot of men willing become her escorts. Her charming technique hadn't failed a single time and she never thought that she would actually fail today!

Not only was the charming technique seen though, her Demon Spirit was also seen through by Nie Li with one look. Wasn't this boy in front of her a little too mysterious? The Snow Sakura Demon Spirit was an extremely rare Demon Spirit caught and given to her by her grandfather. Most people wouldn't have even heard of it before, let alone knowing its abilities and origin.

Huyan Lanruo felt like she was struck by lightning. She remained speechless for a long while.

The main point was that, the receiver of the charming technique was only a little boy who wasn't even a 1-star Bronze rank!

There were two kinds of people that wouldn't be affected by the charming technique. One kind would be a person who had a mind not corrupted with impurities, for example a 5 years old boy. Another kind would be a super expert who was well aware of the charming technique.

Nie Li was already 13 years old and already had some knowledge of the matters between men and women. Therefore, he shouldn't be able to achieve the pure mind of a child. The only possibility would be the second kind.

But… How was that possible?

Huyan Lanruo would have never imagined that inside the shell of this small boy in front of her, lied the soul of a super expert. A super expert that even surpassed Legend rank.

Seeing Huyan Lanruo's startled expression, Nie Li faintly smiled and continued to walk passed Huyan Lanruo's side.

"Nie Li, was Huyan Lanruo not pretty?" Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li, blinking her eyes with a curious baby look.

Under that kind of temptation, Nie Li actually refused. Nie Li couldn't have some special unspeakable secrets, right?

Nie Li smiled, looked at Ye Ziyun and said, "Huyan Lanruo is indeed very pretty, but how can she be compared to you?"

Hearing Nie Li's rubbish, Ye Ziyun stamped her foot onto the ground and said, "I can't be compared to Huyan Lanruo. There are a lot of people that fancy her!"

Ye Ziyun clearly knew that. Even some of her cousins in the Snow Wind Family fancied Huyan Lanruo.

Nie Li knew that Ye Ziyun meant the body aspects. Ye Ziyun's temperament and beauty had far exceeded Huyan Lanruo's. However, in terms of figure, she was still a little less compared to Huyan Lanruo. Nie Li couldn't help but laugh. He smiled as he looked Ye Ziyun up and down. In just a few years, Ye Ziyun's figure wouldn't lose to Huyan Lanruo and only Nie Li knew how sexy and beautiful Ye Ziyun would be at that time. Ye Ziyun wouldn't be like Huyan Lanruo flaunting her sexiness, but would be kind and elegant, which wasn't something Huyan Lanruo could compete with.

Seeing the strange and perverted look in Nie Li's eyes, Ye Ziyun pouted in dissatisfaction. Becoming friends with Nie Li wasn't bad, however, going a step further, she had never thought of it before. Ye Ziyun only thought about practising in her heart. She wanted to become a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist like her grandfather.

The Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique that Nie Li had given her, allowed her to be one step closer to her dreams. Therefore, in her heart, she was very grateful towards Nie Li. If it was any of the other boys that glibbed towards her, without any sense of seriousness, she would have already turned around and left.

Huyan Lanruo turned her head and looked at Nie Li's back. Angrily she said, "I don't believe that I can't subdue a small kid like you!"

Huyan Lanruo felt a little indignant in her heart. Could it be that her charm couldn't be compared to Ye Ziyun's?

Huyan Lanruo turned around, pointed at Nie Li and exclaimed at the crowd, "Nie Li, I will one day make you a slave under my skirt! I have decided, I will chase after this kid. In the future, this kid will be mine. Anyone that wants to touch him would have to ask if I agree to it! If anyone snatches him from me, I won't let them off!"

Hearing Huyan Lanruo's domineering declaration, everyone became dumbfounded.

Huyan Lanruo actually wanted to chase after Nie Li? Everyone looked at Nie Li, then stared at Huyan Lanruo again.

A beauty like Huyan Lanruo would only need to wave her finger and a lot of men would surround her like flies. However, Huyan Lanruo wanted to reverse it and chase after Nie Li? This was too weird.

Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li with a 'wanting to smile yet did not' expression, it seemed that Nie Li had a lot of charm. First, it was Xiao Ning'er taking the initiative to send breakfast and now, he was being chased by Huyan Lanruo. She couldn't really see that Nie Li was actually be so attractive.

Huyan Lanruo's declaration caused ripples among everyone and became the topic of conversation. Even Chen Linjian couldn't help but be astonished.

The group continued moving forwards, passing through several mountains.

"Nie Li, this is an apricot cake, do you want to eat?"

"Nie Li, are you tired? Do you want me to lay a cushion for you to rest?"

Huyan Lanruo would appear by Nie Li's side from time to time, like a ghost, and would, from time to time, rush here. Her well developed chest would occasionally graze Nie Li's arm accompanied by the fragrance of a woman's scent that would linger around. If it was any other boys, after being provoked by such a sexy beauty, they would definitely be unable to control themselves and eat Huyan Lanruo up already.

However, Huyan Lanruo's seduction techniques seemed to only annoy Nie Li.

"I say, can you not be so annoying. Go, go, go! Go do what you want! Go further away!" Nie Li waved his hands and said impatiently.

Huyan Lanruo's eyes turned red. Since when had she ever been treated like this before? Was Nie Li blind? Blind to her beauty? The more she thought about it, the more she felt unhappy and indignant. She threw the mat onto the ground and walked away.

"Whew… Finally, some peace!" said Nie Li, relieved that the troublesome woman was finally gone.

But after walking a few steps, Huyan Lanruo turned her head around and said, "Nie Li do you want a drink? I have excellent quality apricot wine here."

Hearing Huyan Lanruo's words, Nie Li almost collapsed.

'What's wrong with this woman?' he asked himself, 'Why can't I shake her off?'

"Can you not be so silly? Are you that bored?" Nie Li said, rolling his eyes.

Huyan Lanruo blinked her eyes and said shyly, "I realised that I have fallen for you. Although you don't like me now, it's fine. Who wouldn't like a beauty like me? I'll pretend that you are blind, for now. However, not long from now, you will realise how beautiful and cute I am!"

"I'd be blind if I were to fancy you!" Nie Li spatted and quickly walked away.

'This woman is simply beyond hope!', he thought.

Of course, Nie Li did not think that Huyan Lanruo had really fallen for him. She probably found him fun to play with. He estimated that after a while she would lose her interest and leave.

Nie Li ran to Ye Ziyun's side. No matter if it was the previous life or the current life, Ye Ziyun was his most beloved. The few girls beside Ye Ziyun smilingly looked at Nie Li and started discussing softly.

"This is the one that Huyan Lanruo is chasing?"

"He looks pretty handsome."

"Matching with Huyan Lanruo is enough!"

Listening to their discussion, Nie Li couldn't help sweating.

Ye Ziyun raised her head, looked at distressed Nie Li, and faintly said, "Weren't you together with Huyan Lanruo?"

"Ziyun, you know that I have nothing to do with Huyan Lanruo!" Nie Li bitterly smiled. 'Huyan Lanruo that ** annoyance, if Ye Ziyun were to misunderstand anything, I'll be depressed.'

"What has this got to do with me?" Ye Ziyun shrugged turned her head and left. The corner of her mouth slightly rose, revealing a teasing smile. She found it quite interesting seeing the distressed look on Nie Li's face.

Nie Li opened his mouth but didn't manage to get anything out. Looking at Ye Ziyun's tender back, his heart felt depressed. When could he be like the previous life, hugging this pretty girl in his arms? The road ahead was still long!

He had better raise his strength first. After a few years, Glory City would be under the threats of demon beasts. Even Ye Ziyun's grandfather, who was a Legend rank Demon Spiritist, also died in the battle. Therefore, Nie Li had to reach Legend rank before that. For him, this was a huge challenge as the time was too short.

He would have use all the methods available to enhance his strength, which included this journey to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins! He had to get the Spiritual Lamp!

For the next few days, Nie Li continued to refine the soul force that he had gotten from Chu Yuan. However, Huyan Lanruo, this woman was too annoying. When Nie Li was practising, she would stand guard beside Nie Li and not move a step. Hence, Nie Li could only choose to ignore her.

After walking through the mountains for two days, and passing through a deep canyon passage, a distant plain valley finally appeared in their sight.

This was a piece of relic from the ancient city. The place covered a radius of a hundred miles. Most of it was covered in dense woods, only leaving some mottled walls. The roar of demon beasts could be heard from within the ruins. The demon beasts that were above Gold rank had already left the place. What remained in the ruins were Bronze and Silver ranked demon beasts.

These remains from the Age of Darkness vaguely told the story of the glory of humanity at that time.

Seeing these broken walls and scattered bones lying around, everyone couldn't help but feel desolation. If Glory City were to be broken through by demon beasts, it would become the same as this ruin. Only leaving behind bones and ruins everywhere.

The rampant demon beasts during the Age of Darkness destroyed all of the human's empires. Leaving behind only several lucky survivors who were still struggling with the demon beasts. However, much of the knowledge and civilization had been lost in the disaster. For example, many of Glory City's cultivation techniques, martial arts, and Inscription Patterns were all incomplete. Therefore, it was very possible to get some stuff left behind by the Age of Darkness, if they were to explore these ancient ruins!

What Nie Li wanted was the Spiritual Lamp. It was a powerful item left behind by a Legend rank Demon Spiritualist from the Age of Darkness!
