Living Together?

--- Glory City, City Lord's Mansion ---

There were endlessly large courtyards, the view was magnificent. The pillars and bridges were picturesque. At the same time, the place was heavily guarded. A regular soldier would have the cultivation of a Silver rank Fighter. At the same time, there would be Gold rank Fighters patrolling back and forth. It was said that within these courtyards, Black Gold rank Fighters and Demon Spiritualists were housed.

This was the core area within the whole of Glory City.

Nie Li and Nie Yu had been arranged to one of the courtyards. As long as there weren't Black Gold rank experts attacking the mansion, this place was safe. One could see how much importance was placed on Nie Li with how heavily guarded he was.

"Big brother Nie Li, why are we living in the City Lord's Mansion?" Nie Yu timidly asked. Ever since she had entered the City Lord's Mansion, she had been very nervous.

"Because this place is safe!" Nie Li patted on Xiao Yu's shoulders and said, "There's no need to be afraid. As long as big brother is here, you can be at ease. Furthermore, the City Lord's daughter is your sister-in-law. Next time when you see her, remember to call her sister-in-law, okay?"

"Sister-in-law? Okay." Nie Yu looked at Nie Li in surprise. She never would have thought that Nie Li would find her a sister-in-law so fast. Furthermore, she was the daughter of the City Lord.

Nie Yu was filled with doubts, but Nie Li did not explain. The City Lord never would have thought that his action in protecting such a genius had lured a wolf into his home. Nie Li had had ill intentions from the start.

'Tsk tsk. Coming into the City Lord's Mansion, aside from my usual training, I can also tease Ye Ziyun when I'm bored. Life is so perfect. If there wasn't any Sacred Family or Dark Guild, and without the attacks of the demon beasts, life would be even more perfect.'

To achieve the comfortable future life in front of him, he had to find some methods to destroy the Sacred Family. In his previous life, if it hadn't been for the betrayal of the Sacred Family, Glory City wouldn't have fallen so easily. The root of the problem was most often internal.

Nie Li was still a 2-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist now. However, strength wise, suppressing a normal 1 or 2-star Gold rank shouldn't be much of a problem. But, this was far from enough. He had to hurry up and practice.

'What is there that can raise my cultivation the fastest?' Nie Li slapped his forehead, 'How could I have forgotten that!? To actually forget the Heavenly Sacred Border.' Within the Holy Orchid Institute, the only thing that could arouse his interest would be the Heavenly Sacred Border.

'Let's prepare first and then find a chance to make a trip to the Heavenly Sacred Border!' Nie Li thought to himself.

Nie Li crossed his legs and started to practise. Nie Yu also obediently sat beside Nie Li and practised. She was very sensible, so she did not emit any noise that could disturb Nie Li and concentrated on practising.

One day, two days...

As time passed, Nie Li and Nie Yu's life here wasn't bad. Aside from not being allowed to go to the core area of the City Lord's Mansion, there weren't any restrictions. Furthermore, three meals a day were delivered by servants. Outsiders could also visit anytime. It was rumoured that in a few days, the City Lord and Ye Mo would personally meet with Nie Li. Therefore, the surrounding guards and maids were very polite to the brother and sister duo.

Nie Li's cultivation was steadily rising. On the fifth day, his cultivation finally increased once again, his soul force reached 3-star Silver rank.

After reaching 3-star Silver rank, Nie Li did not continue raising his soul force. At the beginning, it was best not to have one's cultivation rise too fast, it was best to give some time in between breakthroughs. He blinked. After entering the City Lord's Mansion for so many days, Ye Ziyun still hadn't come look for him.

Evening approached, the sunset was a layer of gold in the City Lord's Mansion, causing the place to look even more magnificent.

'Probably because a girl's face is too thin, she doesn't dare to come. Seems that I have to come and find you!' Nie Li thought to himself. He chuckled and looked at Nie Yu beside him and said, "Xiao Yu, I'll go look for you sister-in-law. You remain here and practice."

"Okay." Xiao Yu's big bright eyes looked at Nie Li fully puzzled. How was big brother Nie Li preparing to go look for Sister-in-law? Although she was curious, she did not enquire much. She obediently remained in the courtyard to practise.

After Nie Li stepped out of the courtyard, he called the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit and disappeared. The several Gold rank experts that were guarding Nie Li's courtyard felt a faint aura. They looked at their surroundings, not finding anything, then retracted their gazes. They thought that they had sensed wrong.

'My void-form combat ability isn't perfect yet, my ability to hide my aura isn't strong enough. When encountering Gold rank, I can still barely pass by them. If I were to encounter a Black Gold rank, I would definitely be noticed.' Nie Li thought to himself, familiarly moving towards where Ye Ziyun was staying.

Although Nie Li had never come here before, he had heard all about the City Lord's Mansion from Ye Ziyun. Therefore, he also knew where Ye Ziyun lived.

'The daughter of the City Lord, interesting.' Nie Li thought to himself as he couldn't help lightly smile.

The experts that filled City Lord's Mansion were bypassed by Nie Li with no one hindering him. Gold rank experts didn't pose any threat towards Nie Li.

A small courtyard appeared in Nie Li's view. It was a very unique yard. The inside was filled with all kinds of plants and flowers. Bursts of fragrance were coming out from them. Looking from afar, an exquisite two floor building could be seen, that was the place that Ye Ziyun was living in.

The gate of the small courtyard was passed through by Nie Li while he was in his void-form. After removing the void-form, Nie Li walked in.

On a stone in a corner of the yard, Ye Ziyun was currently sitting crossed legged as she practised. Her soul force was coiling around her and behind her was an unclear white figure.

That white figure wore a white fluttering robe, and bore a beautiful face. On the top of her head, was an ice crown. She was the Snow Queen demon spirit. Among the demon spirits, she was the one that looked the most human. It was said that in ancient times, the Snow Queen was a goddess.

Snow Queens were extremely rare. Furthermore, they had extremely powerful Snow Wind combat abilities. It complimented well with Ye Ziyun who had practised the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix cultivation technique.

When Nie Li's gaze fell onto Ye Ziyun's body, his nose felt slightly warm, almost leaking out blood. Ye Ziyun should have had just finished her bath. Her hair was still wet. She wore a thin veil over her body, the slight bulge on her chest could be vaguely seen.

This scene made Nie Li recall his previous life. That night, under the moonlight, Ye Ziyun had been as holy as a goddess. They had both hugged and listened to each other's breaths. Nie Li's hands had been gently kneading that softness. Some say that the proudest moment of a man was when he was holding his lover's peaks.

Nie Li took in a deep breath. Although the current Ye Ziyun had yet to grow, she was already extremely beautiful. After practising the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix technique, she had become even more charming.

At this moment, Ye Ziyun, who was currently deep in her practise realised something. She opened her eyes and hostilely said, "Who?" When she saw Nie Li, she felt relieved. She was puzzled and asked, "It's you? How did you come here?"

If it had been anyone else who had suddenly appeared in this courtyard, Ye Ziyun would certainly suspect their motives. Even with those whom she was familiar with, Ye Ziyun couldn't put her guard down completely. However, not even Ye Ziyun knew why it was that when she saw Nie Li, she subconsciously felt relieved.

"I came here to have a look. Your courtyard seems to be very unique. However, living here alone must be very boring. How about I move in here to live with you?" Nie Li looked at all four directions, looking extremely satisfied as he nodded.

Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li dumbfounded, feeling shy. 'This person, how can he be so shameless to such a degree?! Have I ever said that I'm very bored? Even if I was bored, I still wouldn't have you move in here!'
