Ice Phoenix (Seeking Recommendations!!)

Nie Li sat down in front of Ye Ziyun.

"Classmate Ye Ziyun, we meet again," Nie Li said with a faint smile.

Nie Li carried an air of calm confidence. Compared to him, the other boys his age seemed far inferior. However, at present, Ye Ziyun didn't harbor any particular fondness for Nie Li, only a bit of curiosity and genuine admiration.

Nie Li's knowledge was indeed profound. Even Aunt Xue believed Nie Li to be a master of inscription.

She had already asked Aunt Xue to make a scroll from the inscription Nie Li had shown her. It turned out to be a Silver-grade inscription, which had understandably shocked her. Nie Li even understood Silver-grade inscriptions!

"Nie Li, I verified it after I went back yesterday. That is indeed the truly complete 'Gale Snow' inscription!" Ye Ziyun said, looking at Nie Li.

Nie Li showed no hint of pride on his face, merely responding with an "Oh." To him, it wasn't something worth boasting about at all.

As the pride of the Wind Snow Family, although Ye Ziyun didn't usually show it, she possessed a certain pride deep down. However, upon careful reflection, she realized that while Nie Li was exceptionally talented, he had always been very low-key in class, never showing off. It was only when Instructor Shen Xiu's words provoked him that he retorted. In comparison, Ye Ziyun felt a bit ashamed. Compared to Nie Li, she truly had nothing to be proud of.

At this moment, Ye Ziyun began to appreciate Nie Li. While it hadn't reached the level of liking, Nie Li was already the only boy she was willing to interact with since childhood.

This was already significant progress for Nie Li.

"Nie Li, here are the Soul Crystals you asked me to bring," Ye Ziyun said, taking them out.

"Inject your Soul Power into the Soul Crystals!" Nie Li said to Ye Ziyun. Ye Ziyun had been his woman since their past life, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

Ye Ziyun nodded and injected Soul Power into the Soul Crystal. The Soul Crystal slowly began to glow, emitting a dazzling white light.

Upon seeing Ye Ziyun's soul form, Nie Li gasped slightly. He hadn't expected Ye Ziyun's talent to be even stronger than Xiao Ninger's. It resembled a ball of ice crystal, with a faint phoenix slumbering within.

This was the legendary Ice Phoenix soul form.

One of the strongest soul forms.

The Ice Phoenix form's cultivation speed was similar to the Wyvern form before reaching Black Gold, but once they reached Black Gold and the phoenix hatched, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. It was a pity that in her past life, Ye Ziyun never had the chance to reach Black Gold before she died. Otherwise, she might have become a pillar of the City of Brilliance.

"Wind Snow element, Ice Phoenix soul form!" Nie Li looked up at Ye Ziyun, his eyes filled with deep excitement, and said, "Let me teach you a cultivation technique!"

"Teach me a cultivation technique? What technique?" Ye Ziyun asked in surprise. She was already cultivating the most profound Wind Snow cultivation technique of the Wind Snow Family. Could Nie Li possibly have a better one?

The Wind Snow Family was the number one family in the entire City of Brilliance, far surpassing even the Sacred Family and the Sacred Nether Family. This was because the Wind Snow Family had a Legendary Demon Spirit Master overseeing it, the legendary Ye Mo! The Wind Snow Family's various treasures were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Because Ye Mo enjoyed exploring the Sacred Spirit Continent and had discovered several lost ancient cities within the Sacred Ancestor Mountain Range, he had obtained many powerful cultivation techniques and translated them.

"Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art!" Nie Li imparted the incantations and cultivation technique to Ye Ziyun. Although the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art wasn't the most powerful cultivation technique Ye Ziyun could cultivate, it was the most mysterious. If cultivated successfully, one would possess nine lives and could revive as long as their soul remained intact.

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

Ye Ziyun merely recited the incantations a few times and was already shocked by the power of the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art. It was absolutely incomparable to any of the cultivation techniques collected by the Wind Snow Family!

"Thank you, Nie Li!" Ye Ziyun said sincerely. She was somewhat surprised that Nie Li would impart such a precious cultivation technique to her, especially since they had only just met.

In Ye Ziyun's eyes, they had only just met. But in Nie Li's eyes, he had known Ye Ziyun for a very, very long time, and in his heart, Ye Ziyun was already his woman. A mere Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art was nothing.

Ye Ziyun circulated the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art according to the technique, and the Soul Power in her Soul Sea surged. This cultivation technique was practically tailor-made for her!

Just as Nie Li and Ye Ziyun were chatting, someone walked over. It was Shen Yue.

Seeing Nie Li and Ye Ziyun chatting happily, and Ye Ziyun's beautiful smile, Shen Yue could no longer suppress his jealousy and walked over from a distance.

"Ziyun!" Shen Yue said with a slight smile, looking at Ye Ziyun.

"Mm," Ye Ziyun replied faintly. She no longer held any good feelings for Shen Yue.

Shen Yue sat down in the seat beside them. He glanced at Nie Li, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The atmosphere between the three suddenly became somewhat awkward.

"Nie Li, we meet again," Shen Yue said with a cold laugh, revealing a hint of hostility.

"What, wasn't the lesson you learned last time enough?" Nie Li asked leisurely. He had never taken Shen Yue seriously from beginning to end.

"You..." Shen Yue clenched his fists tightly. If Ye Ziyun weren't present, he would definitely have his subordinates teach Nie Li a harsh lesson.

Ye Ziyun showed a hint of surprise. Listening to the conversation between Nie Li and Shen Yue, it seemed Shen Yue had suffered a loss at Nie Li's hands. She was curious how Shen Yue, as a direct descendant of the Sacred Family, could have suffered a loss at Nie Li's hands and still endure it?

Shen Yue forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart and glanced at Ye Ziyun. "My family and your family are old friends. We've known each other since we were children and are very familiar with each other. Our elders fully approve of our association."

Shen Yue said these words to remind Nie Li that he and Ye Ziyun were a perfect match, approved by both elders. What was Nie Li to think he could compete with him for Ye Ziyun?

Hearing Shen Yue's words, Nie Li couldn't help but sneer inwardly. In terms of familiarity with Ye Ziyun, could Shen Yue compare to him?

Shen Yue glanced at Ye Ziyun and showed a gentle smile. "It can be said that Ye Ziyun and I understand each other so well that we even know each other's preferences and living habits like the back of our hands."

Hearing Shen Yue's words, Ye Ziyun showed a hint of displeasure. She really wanted to question Shen Yue, Am I that familiar with you? Since the few classroom incidents, Ye Ziyun had gradually developed a dislike for Shen Yue. At least, the Sacred Family didn't seem as glorious and sacred as it appeared on the surface.

Ye Ziyun couldn't help but glance at Nie Li, worried that Nie Li might misunderstand.

"Then tell me, what do you know? I'm very interested," Nie Li said, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. In his past life, Ye Ziyun had almost married Shen Yue. In this life, he would never let such a thing happen.

"Ziyun likes to eat Jiao Lan, likes to read, likes to stare out the window..." Shen Yue said, looking at Ye Ziyun affectionately.

Nie Li smiled faintly. "Actually, she doesn't like eating Jiao Lan. It was Lord Ye Mo who tricked her into believing that eating Jiao Lan could enhance Soul Power. Whoever likes reading those obscure and difficult books is a fool. Ziyun loves going on adventures the most. She stares out the window because she yearns for the outside world."

Hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Ziyun was struck as if by lightning, staring at Nie Li blankly. How did Nie Li know these things? She couldn't fathom that someone could understand her so well.

Nie Li took a deep breath. Back then, how he wished he could take Ye Ziyun to travel all over the continent. However, that wish remained unfulfilled. In this life, he would help her fulfill her wish.

"You're talking nonsense..." Shen Yue was about to retort, but seeing Ye Ziyun's expression, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Since you know Ziyun so well, Ziyun has a butterfly-shaped mark on her body. Do you know where that mark is?" Nie Li asked Shen Yue with a half-smile.

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

Hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Ziyun's face immediately flushed crimson. How did Nie Li know about the butterfly-shaped birthmark on her body? A strange and unusual feeling welled up in Ye Ziyun's heart. She stood up and exclaimed, "Nie Li, you pervert!" Ye Ziyun stomped her foot and ran away, a mix of shame and anger on her face.

Ye Ziyun's retreating figure was graceful, clad in a white silk dress that accentuated her slender, shapely legs, making her even more captivating.

Seeing Ye Ziyun's peculiar reaction, Shen Yue's expression darkened. The relationship between Ye Ziyun and Nie Li was definitely not simple. Perhaps there was some illicit affair between them. His face turned terrifyingly grim: "Nie Li, you mark my words, I will make you suffer a terrible death!"

Nie Li glanced at Shen Yue dismissively and sneered, "You're still far from being able to contend with me. If you continue to be so blind, I don't mind teaching you a lesson." Nie Li stood up and left without looking back.

City Lord's Mansion.

The blush on Ye Ziyun's cheeks had yet to fade.

"Nie Li, you scoundrel! Scoundrel!" Ye Ziyun stomped her feet in anger. How did Nie Li know she had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left chest? Thinking about it, Ye Ziyun felt a whirlwind of emotions. Could Nie Li have secretly watched her bathe?

If Nie Li had seen her butterfly-shaped birthmark, wouldn't that mean he had seen everything about her?

No, I must confront that scoundrel!

Ye Ziyun was overwhelmed with shame and urgency. She gazed outside, wondering why Nie Li understood her so well. Could Nie Li have been secretly watching her all this time? But the City Lord's Mansion was vast and heavily guarded; it was unlikely even a fly could get in.
