Ning'er had to return to her house at the end of the day. But before that, Issei gave her an Abstruse Gemstone. How? How would Issei have another? Duplication. Unlike ordinary masters of the Mystic Arts, Issei's Images of Ikonn can be made permanent or temporary, but only to inanimate objects. Issei isn't able to completely duplicate himself and make it permanent. Issei's tried it before.
Next, Issei also gave Ning'er a duplicate of Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual. The original is with Issei and has never left him. Even the one that Yang Xin has is a duplicate. Due to this, only the cultivation was on the duplicate that Issei gave Yang Xin and Ning'er. The manual they have are missing a few things, such as Heaven's Path Sword Art, Heaven's Path Fist Art, Heaven's Path Golden Body, etc.
The duplicate copy of Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual is guarded with over one-hundred-and-fifty different defensive magic. Why? Because Issei doesn't want anyone other than Ning'er and Yang Xin to be able to cultivate it. So, even if they lose the copy, no one would be able to access it. And if for some reason, they were able to remove the defensive magic around it, it would self-destruct.
"Issei? Can I ask you a question?" Ning'er asked. She was curious about the cultivation manual but not the origin. "Will I be allowed to cultivate during the night? That's the only time I have to cultivate properly".
"There won't be any issues like before. Cultivate in peace whether it's in the day or night," Issei said. That's right, Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual has no such drawback. The only drawback is that the higher your level, the harder it would be to break through to the next level. Why? Because the manual is about going against the Heaven. "Now go home and cultivate, but make sure that you don't overwork yourself, alright?".
"I understand. Thank you for sharing such a powerful cultivation manual with me," Ning'er said. Issei sighed. Since Ning'er was destined to be with her, he would do what he could to help her. Letting her cultivate the Heaven's Path Cultivation Manual was nothing. "I'll see you tomorrow. I'll bring you breakfast again".
Issei waved goodbye to Ning'er. Once she was out of the room, Issei stretched his body.
Outside, Ye Ziyun and Shen Yue were still around, waiting for Xiao Ning'er to leave the room that she entered earlier. Once they saw her, Shen Yue blew up in her face.
"Bitch! How dare you enter another man's abode!" Shen Yue shouted. His anger rose as time passed while he waited for Ning'er to leave the room. "You should feel ashamed for daring to be with another man while being engaged with my elder brother!".
"Hah?! Are you insane? For one, I have no such relationship with Issei. Secondly, I do not accept your pig of a brother as my fiancé!" Ning'er said. She would never accept Shen Fei, the pig, that would use a commoner as a plaything and find a scapegoat to pass on the responsibility. "You can go and tell that elder brother of yours that I, Xiao Ning'er, will never be part of the Sacred Family! You can come at me whenever you want! But know that the moment you try and mess with Issei, I'll eliminate you!".
Ning'er was not having it. Hmph! She will never accept being a woman of trash like Shen Fei. Xiao Ning'er will not listen, even if her family forces her to be with that trash, Shen Fei! Thanks to Issei, she finally got the strength to grasp her future with her own hands.
"Stupid bitch!" Shen Yue said. He was getting pissed. The Winged Dragon Family may have been prosperous in the past, but now they are in decline. "You're nothing more than a bitch in a third-rate family! You should be glad that you're going to be my elder brother's woman because that's all you're worth!".
"Interesting," Issei said. He came out of the room since he heard the commotion outside. "If the only worth of Ning'er id to be the woman of a pig, then you and your entire family are nothing but trash beneath her feet. Your Sacred Family, sooner or later, would be obliterated. Mark my words. Also, when Ning'er said that you can come at her, I'll tell you now, if you do anything to harm even a single hair on her head, I'll make sure that the Sacred Family is removed from the list of aristocrats".
Shen Yue was pissed when Issei dared to mock the Sacred Family. He tried to attack Issei, but a single glare from Issei made Shen Yue piss his pants. The glare that Issei gave Shen Yue was laced with powerful killing intent, which caused Shen Yue to hallucinate.
"Well, well. Look at this. Already thirteen years old and still pissing his pants," Issei said. Until now, he still hasn't released his killing intent directed at Shen Yue. "Aren't you ashamed of pissing your pants in public? I guess this is just how the people of the Sacred Family are, right? A bunch of morons pissing their pants for all to see. Unless you have some sort of disease that makes you piss your pants. If that's the case, then I apologise for my words".
Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were holding in their laugh. Issei was brutal towards Shen Yue. But Issei didn't think so. This little bit of punishment was as light as a feather to him. Although Ning'er is not in such a relationship with Issei, he still protects her. This made her blush.
That's right, the reason why Issei put Shen Yue's attention on him is so that the people of the Sacred Family would go after him instead of Ning'er.
"Scram for me!" Issei shouted. He was trying to match the way people spoke in this world. The arrogance and a domineering personality. Shen Yue, in fact, scrammed away from Issei. If he was to stay any longer, he would die of a heart attack. "Trash!".
"Ise, why did you do that?!" Ning'er said. She didn't know why, but Issei felt mortal and didn't have any cultivation, and that's weird since she received a powerful cultivation method from him. "Now that you did that, the Sacred Family would be coming for you!".
"Don't worry about such things. I did it on purpose," Issei said. He then patted her head. "I didn't want them bothering. Plus, I have a lot of free time. I can use that time to play with this little family".
Ye Ziyun was shocked at Issei's words. Little Family? Isn't the Sacred Family one of the biggest and strongest families in Glory City? Why would an unknown man call the Sacred Family a little family? Plus, he felt like a mortal.
"Now, go back home and cultivate," Issei said. He smiled and Ning'er and waved goodbye once more. "If you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask. For example, if you need some pills to help you cultivate, I can make you some".
Ye Ziyun was looking at Issei. Pills aren't cheap! Why is a person like Issei talking about giving it out like it was a common item! Is this person screwed in the head?!
Ye Ziyun and Ning'er made their way back home. While walking, Ye Ziyun wanted to ask Ning'er how she came to know someone like Issei. The person wears weird clothes, he acts as if pills are something that can be easily given away, and the guy was able to make Shen Yue piss himself with a single glance. Maybe, the man was not mortal and was only hiding his cultivation to make himself inconspicuous.
"Ning'er, how did you meet someone like senior?" Ye Ziyun asked. It's been a long time seen she's spoken to Ning'er. "I think he might be up to something".
Ning'er didn't like what Ye Ziyun was implying. She got angry.
"Don't you ever speak about my benefactor that way in front of me!" Ning'er shouted. She wouldn't tolerate anyone speaking of Issei that way. "This has nothing to do with you anyway. Just go back to your family".
Ning'er increased her speed. She didn't want to be anywhere near Ye Ziyun. Unlike Ning'er, Ye Ziyun could grasp her future with her own hands the moment she was born, but Ning'er had to work so hard to try and grasp the same freedom. They are simply from different worlds.
To Ning'er, Issei was akin to a hero that showed her a way to accomplish her goal. That's why she wasn't planning to let Issei go. He was one of a kind. A man like no other.
Ning'er wants to get to know Issei more before she decides to accept the offer he gave her. A proposal to live her life freely in another world when the time comes.
