Shi Jiu looked at Long Ling's disappearing silhouette with infatuation, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking of a countermeasure. He was nearly ten years older than Long Ling and had practically watched Long Ling grow up. Since young, his heart had long been attached to his junior sister. Nian Bing's appearance had greatly increased the sense of crisis in his heart. Nian Bing's age was about the same as Long Ling's, and his appearance was much more handsome than his own. In addition to his impressive magical abilities, other than his background, he was not inferior to him in any other aspect. His junior sister was so beautiful. If he were to enter the Guild, he was afraid that it would not be easy for him to woo his junior sister. It seemed that he had to think of a way to deal with this.
After leaving the Magician's Guild, Nian Bing was in a good mood. He knew that the evaluation of a Sorcerer was definitely not wrong. He did not expect that he had actually unintentionally reached the level of a Great Magician. Moreover, he possessed two types of magic at the same time. If he were to cast two tier-four spells, he would be much more powerful than an ordinary Great Magician. Although he was excited, he would definitely not be arrogant. Although there was only one level of difference between a Great Magician and a Sorcerer, this one level was an extremely difficult gap to cross. Nian Bing remembered very clearly that his father had once said that he had reached the level of a Great Magician when he was twenty-four years old. However, he had always been practicing diligently until he was thirty-five years old, when he entered the realm of a Sorcerer with the help of the Divine Stone of Fire. That was already quite fast. Even the youngest Sorcerer on the continent was not that fast. From a Great Magician to a Sorcerer, unless one had extremely good luck, it would be very difficult to advance to that high level of a Magician without dozens of years of hard work. A Great Magician and a Sorcerer could also be said to be a gap within a Magician. Once crossed, one could enter the forest of powerful Magicians and no longer need to fear warriors of the same level. The most powerful Great Magician could only cast tier-five large-scale spells, while the most powerful Sorcerer could cast tier-eight spells. From tier-five to tier-eight, that was a qualitative improvement.
Nian Bing was not in a hurry to return to the Cool Breeze Cell. He bought a black full-length robe and a skull mask that a child played with. As he walked, a faint cold light shone in his eyes. When he was about to return to the Cool Breeze Cell, he walked to a dark corner and put on the black robe. He reached into his robe and held the Divine Stone of Fire in his right hand. He stood in a corner and looked in the direction of the Cool Breeze Cell and the entrance of the Great Accomplishment Pavilion from afar... This was the best time for the restaurant to have guests. There was an endless stream of customers at the entrance of the Great Accomplishment Pavilion. Although there were fewer people at the Cool Breeze Restaurant, it was obvious that they were either elegant people or ordinary magicians.
Nian Bing stood there without moving. He was very patient and could wait. His gaze was always on the entrance of the Great Accomplishment Pavilion, waiting for the person he was waiting for. The ice and fire energy in his body circulated naturally, constantly replenishing the ice element that he had consumed. His left hand reached into his robe and grasped the hilt of the Morning Dew Dagger. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will kill them. At this moment, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
Finally, after waiting for more than an hour, the target finally appeared. Shopkeeper Liao San, whom Xue Jing called a mangy dog, walked out of the door. He was still holding his large iron fan. With a wave of his hand, the fan opened up and gently patted his chest, causing the night breeze to blow into his face. When the girls at the door saw him come out, they immediately stood up straight and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Liao San walked in front of a girl and suddenly raised his hand to pinch her pink face. He scolded, "Are you a fucking zombie?! Who would come if you keep welcoming guests like this? Smile, do you hear me? "
The girl's body trembled. She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Third Shopkeeper, I know I was wrong."
Liao San laughed lecherously. "It's good that you know you were wrong. After work tonight, come to my room and I'll teach you a lesson. You'll know what to do in the future. "
The girl's eyes flashed with a terrifying light. "No! Third Shopkeeper, I, I know I was wrong. Please spare me. "Her knees went soft and she almost knelt on the ground.
Liao San grabbed her by the collar and angrily said, "Damn it, you're courting death. Serving me is a blessing you've cultivated for several lifetimes. Since you don't want to, then die for me." He waved the fan in his hand and was about to hit the girl in front of him. Liao San waved his fan but suddenly felt his hand tighten. "Fuck, who dares to stop me." While cursing, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man holding the fan appear behind him. This man had a clean face and a handsome face, but his eyes were filled with a sinister aura. Seeing this person's appearance, Liao San immediately softened and quickly said with an apologetic smile, "Second Brother, so it looks like you! This little girl didn't even give me face. I was just about to teach her a lesson. "
The middle-aged man snorted. "I think the one who should be taught a lesson is you. When will you change your bad temper? Rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. If you want to play with women, go find them in the brothels. If you continue to cause trouble in the pavilion, I'll tell Big Brother and have him put you in solitary confinement. Don't you know that the boss hates people who affect his business? We three brothers may be shopkeepers, but if you anger the boss, no one can protect you. Also, Big Brother told me to warn you not to provoke that Xuejing girl from Clear Wind Pavilion. Clear Wind Pavilion has the backing of the Magician's Union. Even the boss doesn't dare to touch them, let alone you. If one day you anger them and they find a high level magician to kill you, you'll die in vain. "
Liao San was dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's reprimand, but he didn't dare to say anything. "Second Brother, there aren't many things happening in the pavilion today. I'll go out for a walk. I'll be more careful in the future."
The middle-aged man nodded. "Go. Don't be too ostentatious. Come back early and I'll put in a good word for you to Big Brother."
Liao San chuckled, the fat on his face piled up. It was uglier than crying. "Then I'll go. If it's a brothel, then so be it. "With that, he continued to pat his fat chest with the large fan in his hand and walked down the street to the south. When Liao San moved, Nian Bing, who had been waiting for him, also moved. She held the Morning Dew Dagger in her hand and followed Liao San like an ordinary passerby.
The moment Nian Bing left with Liao San, the head shopkeeper she had seen in the morning hurried out of Great Accomplishment Pavilion. The second shopkeeper was at the door greeting guests. When he saw him, he hurriedly asked, "Big Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen in the pavilion?"
The fat on the head shopkeeper's face trembled. He shook his head and said, "Nothing happened in the pavilion. However, the boss just told me that an extremely distinguished guest will be coming to our place tomorrow. He told me to suspend the business tomorrow. After the guest leaves tonight, you and Liao San have to keep an eye on the servants and make sure they clean up the place. You can't be careless."
The second shopkeeper was stunned. "Big Brother, what kind of guest could be so distinguished? The last time Prince Dong Ming came here, the boss didn't close the business! Our business is big. If we close the business for a day, our income will decrease a lot. " The shopkeeper impatiently said, "Alright, don't ask anymore. You'll know who came tomorrow. Do as I say. Don't be careless. Where's Liao San? "
The second shopkeeper hesitated. "Liao San, he saw that there was nothing wrong in the pavilion and said he wanted to go out for a walk. I let him go."
The head shopkeeper snorted. "He must have gone to the brothel again. I don't know when he'll change his bad habits. Go and drag him back here. If we don't receive the distinguished guest tomorrow, none of us will have a good time."
The second shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly chased in the direction the third shopkeeper left.
As Liao San walked, he hummed a tune with four notes out of five. He was thinking about which brothel he should go to to find a girl today. After being taught a lesson by Xue Jing this morning, he was full of anger. How could he feel comfortable without finding a place to vent? After turning a corner, he entered a narrow alley. He was very familiar with the layout of this area. As long as he passed through here, he would find the best brothel.
"Stop. You've reached the end." A cold voice came from behind. Liao San felt the hair on his neck stand up. He quickly turned around and blocked his face with his fan.
What he saw was a man in black. Under the moonlight, he could see that the man was very tall, with broad shoulders and a broad back. He wore a white skull mask on his head. Liao San was startled when he saw the man. "Damn it. Which bastard is pretending to be mysterious? I'll chop you to death."
"Chop me to death? I think you'll be the one to die first. " The man in black raised his right hand. A fiery red light suddenly lit up. A fireball appeared in his palm. The fireball grew bigger and bigger. In just a few blinks of an eye, it became the size of a human head. The skull mask on the man's face looked even more strange under the fiery red light.
Liao San stepped back in shock. He tried to act tough. "You're a magician. It's the people of the Breeze Sect who asked you to deal with me, isn't it? "
The man in black coldly said, "No. It's the heavens who want to deal with you. You don't need to know who I am. Your life is coming to an end. Go to hell and ask. "The fireball suddenly lit up. With a whooshing sound, the fireball rushed toward Liao San. Liao San was a man who had seen the world. His body lit up with a yellow light. He aimed at the fireball and waved his fan forward. Although magicians were respected, as long as they weren't super magicians, warriors wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, Liao San wasn't afraid. He believed that with his fighting power, it would be easy to break the fireball. He would then chop the magician into pieces.
Just as the fireball was about to be hit by Liao San's fan, it suddenly changed its direction and flew up, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Liao San's fan, which was full of Dou Qi, suddenly hit the wall on the side. His Dou Qi was indeed powerful, and in the midst of the smoke, the wall on the side of the street was suddenly hit with a big hole. Liao San was furious. The moment he hit the wall, his fighting power poured out crazily. At this moment, his fighting power defense was at its weakest.
The blue light was so beautiful. But at this moment, it was like a ghost from hell. The light was so faint that it looked like a thread of blue light in the night. Before Liao San could withdraw his fan, the blue light had already pierced through his forehead and disappeared. Liao San's whole body froze and began to spasm violently. At this moment, the fireball that was flying up came from behind and hit Liao San's back. Liao San was turned into a burning man. But because his life was already ended by the blue light, he didn't even have time to scream. His tall and strong body fell to the ground. The dark alley was lit up by the fire. The man in black with the skull mask said in a hoarse voice, "Those who helped me, I will repay tenfold. Those who made me enemies, I will destroy them." He was Nian Bing. He clearly remembered the humiliation this morning. When he left the Ice God Tower, he swore that as long as he was strong enough, he would never be humiliated again. Today was the first time he killed someone, but he didn't feel a trace of fear. It was as if Liao San's death had nothing to do with him, as if he was just crushing an ant.
Because he killed Liao San, Nian Bing felt an indescribable joy in his heart. The darkness in his heart was fully released. His body even emitted a trace of evil aura.
Suddenly, a cold and sharp aura came from behind. Although it didn't reach him, Nian Bing felt a faint pain in his back. Without any hesitation, his right hand pulled out the Morning Dew Dagger. The blue light spread out behind him. At this moment, in his heart, everything was as light as firewood.
With a soft sound, Nian Bing groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood flowed down the edge of his mask. He staggered back a dozen steps before he could stand firm. The second shopkeeper of the Great Accomplishment Pavilion appeared in his previous position, holding a broken longsword in his hand. At this moment, he could clearly feel an icy chill flowing through the broken blade towards him. His entire body couldn't help but shiver. When the fireball was about to hit Liao San's head, the second manager was already behind Nian Bing. However, it was too late for him to save Liao San. In order not to disturb Nian Bing, he didn't make a sound. When the fireball exploded, he secretly activated his fighting aura, pulled out the flexible sword coiled around his waist, and stabbed Nianbing from behind. However, he would never have thought that his opponent, who was clearly a magician, would be able to turn around in time and even break the sword in his hand. Although that greenish-blue light flashed and disappeared, he could clearly feel that it was definitely a peerless blade.
Slowly putting down his raised hand, the second manager emitted the same yellow light as Liao San and walked towards Nianbing step by step. The same fighting aura, but it was much stronger than Liao San's. As he walked, he stared at the skull mask on Nian Bing's face and said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you try to kill my third brother? Tell me, did Clear Wind Sect send you here? "
"Breeze Sect? Do you think they can order me around? " Although she was in a passive situation, Nian Bing didn't panic. She stood firm and stared at the second manager through the hole in her mask.
"Not Breeze Sect? Then who are you? Why did you try to kill my third brother? You don't have to tell me, but I'll make you beg for death. "The second manager's voice was even colder.
Nian Bing calmly said, "I'm an assassin. You can call me the Demon Killer. I've already killed today, so I don't want to do it again. See you next time." The red flame soared into the sky without any warning, and like a huge plane, it blasted towards the second shopkeeper. The second manager was very familiar with Liao San's ability. Although Liao San wasn't as strong as himself, his fighting aura wasn't much weaker. Just now, Liao San was killed in front of this mysterious person who called himself the Demon Killer. When he saw the flame wall coming towards him, he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly threw away the broken sword in his hand and gathered all his fighting aura to attack the flame wall.
There was no sound, only sparks. The second manager's fighting aura kept echoing in the narrow alley. He was surprised to find that the flame wall didn't have the slightest power. However, when the sparks disappeared, the Demon Killer who was not far from him was gone. The fire on Liao San's body was still burning. A trace of fear rose in the second manager's heart. The mysterious Demon Killer was putting a lot of pressure on him. He was afraid that the Demon Killer was hiding in the dark and using his strange magic to attack him.
Nian Bing staggered to a corner of the street and stopped. She gasped for breath and used an ordinary healing spell on herself. Only then did she feel a little better. The second manager's fighting aura didn't disperse. If the Morning Dew Dagger hadn't broken his sword in time, Nian Bing would have been pierced through the heart. Even so, the fighting aura that entered her body when the sword was broken had shaken her internal organs. After all, he wasn't a warrior. As a magician, his weakest point was his body. The Flame Wall was a fifth-level spell. Nian Bing could use it, but it would take her a while to chant the spell. The spell he used to escape wasn't a real Flame Wall. Since he could condense a snowstorm, he could also use his strong mental strength to expand an ordinary first-level fireball to the size of a Flame Wall. Nian Bing didn't know that the meridians in his body had become much tougher than those of ordinary people under the constant training of the magic of ice and fire. That was why he was able to withstand the Combat Energy from the sword. If he had been an ordinary mage, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape even if he didn't die.
After panting for a while, the pain in his internal organs lessened a little. The healing technique was gradually taking effect. The Mosha Envoy, this name that he had come up with on the spur of the moment, was deeply imprinted in his mind. He secretly swore that one day, the Mosha Envoy would descend upon the transcendental Ice God Tower and bring death to those who had once harmed his parents. While thinking, he quickly took off his clothes and wrapped the mask in them. Then he slowly walked to the back door of the Breeze Shop.
When Nian Bing returned to the Breeze Shop, it was already late at night. She carefully opened the back door and quietly walked to the woodshed. From the back door to the woodshed, she had to pass through the back garden. Uncle Li had told her that the back garden was the exclusive place of the owner of the Breeze Shop. Without permission, no one was allowed to enter. The wall of the back garden was about two meters tall, and there were openings in the shape of plum blossoms on it. The green wall blended in with the surrounding environment, and with Nian Bing's height, he was able to see the situation inside through the openings in the shape of plum blossoms. He walked along the small path, and from the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw a red shadow flash past the openings in the shape of plum blossoms. Out of curiosity, he subconsciously moved closer to the openings to look at the back garden.
It was a graceful figure, a graceful figure. A long sword that was shining with a red light was flying up and down, bringing with it a red light. The condensed Dou Qi emitted a strong fluctuation, blowing the surrounding flowers and trees, causing them to rustle. The person performing the sword was Xuejing. She seemed to like the color red very much. Although she had changed into a long dress, it was still the same flame-like color. Her body looked so vigorous, and her movements were as smooth as flowing water. Nian Bing was a little confused. It was so late. Why was she still practicing the sword here instead of going back to sleep? Forget it. Who cares? I'd better go back quickly and use a few more healing techniques on my body. I'll think about it after I've healed.
Thinking of this, he quietly turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally stepped on the edge of a clump of flowers and plants, making a very soft sound.
"Who is it?" Nian Bing thought to himself. He hurriedly threw the black robe and mask in his hands into the flowers and plants as fast as he could. Just as he finished this action, a red cloud jumped over the wall of the garden and floated in front of him. In the direction of the red light, Xuejing's long sword was already resting on Nian Bing's neck. The fighting aura flowing around her made him not dare to make the slightest move.
Xuejing clearly remembered Nian Bing's handsome face. She frowned and said, "It's you. Didn't I ask you to go to the woodshed to help? It's so late. Why aren't you resting? What are you doing out here? "
Nian Bing pretended to be in fear and trepidation and said, "Hello, Miss. I'm new here today. I wanted to go out to buy some daily necessities, but the things in Ice Snow City were too expensive, so I couldn't buy them. I just arrived here, and I'm not familiar with the roads. I went in the wrong direction, so I came back late. It's so late. Aren't you still awake? "
Xuejing was obviously in a bad mood. She snorted and put the red sword back into the sheath. "It's good that it's like this. If I find out that you've done something bad to Qing Feng Zhai, be careful of your head."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's all thanks to Miss that I have food to eat. I will strictly abide by my duty. Miss, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. "He thought that he had passed. It seemed that he could only come back later to get the black robe and mask. After bowing slightly to Xuejing, he hurriedly walked in the direction of the woodshed.
"Wait a minute." Xuejing suddenly called out to Nian Bing. Nian Bing's body stiffened. He thought to himself, Could it be that she saw what I threw in the flowers? It can't be. It's so dark, and she's not a night owl.
He turned around and said, "Miss, do you have any other orders?"
Xuejing looked at Nian Bing from head to toe. Suddenly, in a flash, she appeared in front of Nian Bing without any preparation. She grabbed his clothes and jumped up. Nian Bing had felt the feeling of riding the clouds when he used Blizzard, but it was the first time that he was passively grabbed by someone. His right hand subconsciously touched the Morning Dew Dagger, while his left hand prepared a magic spell. If Xuejing wanted to do something bad to him, he would be able to react at the fastest speed.
Xue Jing tapped lightly on the garden wall and floated into the garden with Nian Bing. Wrapped in red fighting energy, they arrived at the eaves of an octagonal pavilion in the garden after a few leaps. She put Nian Bing to the side and whispered, "Sit down and don't move." In fact, even if she didn't say anything, Nian Bing didn't dare to move. This pavilion was four to five meters high. If he fell, it would be terrible. He didn't understand why Xuejing brought him up, but he couldn't ask at this time. He could only carefully use healing spells on himself. If there were any changes, he would be better able to deal with it.
Xuejing rested her elbows on her bent knees. Her beautiful eyes stared at the round moon in the sky, a blurred light flashing through them. Nian Bing could tell that she had something on her mind.
One of them was preoccupied with his own thoughts, while the other was secretly healing his wounds. Neither of them made a sound. An hour passed, and Nian Bing could already feel that his internal organs were no longer as painful as before. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly grabbed the Divine Stone of Fire in his hand. Fire-type magic had always been the best choice for attacking. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene of him insta-killing Liao San. He knew that with his strength, even in a head-on confrontation, he could easily deal with Liao San. However, it definitely wasn't as easy as it was back then. Liao San actually had douqi, and he didn't look weak either. He should have the strength of a Sword Master. The reason why he was able to kill Liao San so easily was because he had cleverly used two types of magic: the Tier 3 Bursting Fireball as a guide, and the Frost Star Needle, which he had researched using Ice Blade as a foundation and the Culinary Art's Fine Needle Piercing Rice. That was how he was able to kill Liao San in one fell swoop. Although the Ice Blade Technique was only a rank 2 ice magic, when it was compressed into the shape of a needle, its power was not to be underestimated. As long as the opponent's douqi wasn't too strong, it could be used to penetrate the opponent's defense.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Nian Bing was just thinking about the mysteries of magic when Xue Jing's voice suddenly rang in his ears. He jumped in fright and instinctively dodged to the side. His foot slipped, and he immediately slid down the pavilion with a cry of surprise. In the situation where he lost his balance, Nian Bing couldn't help but grab at Xuejing's skirt. Nian Bing was startled by Xuejing, and his sudden slide also startled Xuejing. She only felt her body become heavy, and under the pull, she fell down the pavilion with Nian Bing. The two fell down the pavilion at the same time. Xuejing, after all, had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so her reaction was very fast. She flipped her body in the air and grabbed Nian Bing's waist with one hand, while her other hand slapped downwards, using the recoil of douqi to send herself and Nian Bing back to the pavilion.
Silence, absolute silence. Nian Bing and Xuejing looked at each other, and the two maintained a strange posture. Xuejing had her arms around Nian Bing's waist, while Nian Bing had one hand around Xuejing's neck and the other hand holding onto her skirt. Half of Xuejing's snow-white thigh was exposed to the air because of her skirt. Nian Bing's hand that was holding onto her neck kept feeling the smoothness of her thigh. His heartbeat sped up, and for a moment, his mind was blank. He, who had always been quick-witted, was at a loss.
"Bastard." Xuejing suddenly let go of her hand and slapped Nian Bing's face, which almost made him fall down the pavilion again. Xuejing hooked her foot and pulled Nian Bing to her side. She slapped away his hand that was holding onto her skirt and looked at him angrily. Nian Bing was stunned by Xuejing's slap. He covered his face with his hand, not knowing what to do. Xuejing's eyes gradually changed. A thin layer of mist gradually thickened, and tears swirled around her eyes. Suddenly, as if she had been wronged, she burst into tears, and tears kept falling down her face.
"Miss, I, I didn't do it on purpose." Nian Bing tried to sound her out. A beautiful woman was crying in front of him. He really didn't know what to do now.
Xuejing suddenly raised her head and looked at Nian Bing angrily. "I told you not to move. Who told you to move?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said, "I was scared by you. Do you think I wanted to move?" At this time, the previous erotic scene was still replaying in front of his eyes. He had already forgotten his own identity.
Xuejing stared at Nian Bing with her big eyes. "Isn't that your fault? Who told you to not speak for an hour? "
Nian Bing said in surprise, "Didn't you tell me to sit and not move? You were the one who caught me. "
Xuejing knew that she was in the wrong. She wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve and snorted. "Everyone else is a hero saving a beauty. Today, I came here to save a good-for-nothing. You've grown such a big body for nothing. "
Nian Bing smiled bitterly. If she was a good-for-nothing, then so be it. He couldn't tell Xuejing that he was actually a magician. He still hadn't seen the culinary skills of the Breeze Restaurant. Everything still needed time. Touching his face, he found that the left side of his face had already swollen into a palm-shaped mark. He only knew the lowest level of healing magic. Even if he used it every day, he probably wouldn't be able to see anyone for at least three days. The first time he killed someone, he was almost killed. When he finally ran back, he was inexplicably slapped. When he was unlucky, even cold water would be stuck in his teeth.
Xuejing returned to her previous posture. Her expression gradually calmed down. Looking at the moon in the sky, she said, "Where are you from?"
"Me?" Nian Bing said, "I'm from the Huarong Empire." This was the first time he had mentioned his hometown. Even when he was learning how to cook, Cha Ji had never asked him this question.
"Huarong Empire? That's the Huarong Empire called the Fire Empire. It's also the country furthest from our Ice Moon Empire. Why did you come all the way here? "
Nian Bing sighed softly. "Who would be willing to leave their home? Isn't it all because fate forced me to? When I was ten years old, I came to the Ice Moon Empire with my father. Now, I'm the only one left. "
Xuejing turned to look at Nian Bing. "It looks like you're also sad?"
