Chapter 8

Xiao Ning'er's delicate feet were a perfect fit in one hand, her skin smooth and silky, making one's heart flutter. Sitting in this position, Nie Li could clearly see Xiao Ning'er's smooth and taut calves, flawless and perfect.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just helping you with your treatment. I like Ye Ziyun. I'm glad to meet you, and I hope we can become friends in the future," Nie Li said, glancing at Xiao Ning'er's charming face.

Hearing Nie Li's words, Xiao Ning'er's shoulders trembled, and she nodded, letting out a soft hum without saying anything. From childhood to now, Nie Li was the first man, apart from her father, to touch her skin. However, Nie Li liked Ye Ziyun, and thinking about this, Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but feel a slight sting in her nose.

Nie Li held Xiao Ning'er's small, delicate feet, his fingers pressing on the bruised area, gently kneading it.

"Ouch," Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but let out a pained groan.

"It's a bit painful the first time, just bear with it," Nie Li said, suddenly feeling a bit awkward. Holding a girl's foot and saying such things was a bit too intimate. Although Xiao Ning'er was only thirteen, she had grown up in a wealthy family and naturally had some understanding of such matters. Some girls her age were already married and had children.

Xiao Ning'er's head lowered even more, her face flushed, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

Xiao Ning'er's slightly blushing face made her even more alluring. Nie Li's heart stirred as he looked at her. In his past life, Xiao Ning'er was indeed a beauty on par with Ziyun. Even at thirteen, she was already so captivating. In his past life, both Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were goddesses that boys like him could only look up to. Ye Ziyun's elegance and nobility, and Xiao Ning'er's coquettish and cold beauty, made them the dream lovers of boys.

However, after thinking about Ye Ziyun, Nie Li no longer dwelled on it. He now focused solely on treating Xiao Ning'er.

Under Nie Li's careful massage, Xiao Ning'er initially felt intense pain, but soon a warm current flowed from Nie Li's palm into her foot, like tiny, scorching ants crawling inside, causing a tingling and numb sensation. Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but let out a soft moan, feeling extremely embarrassed.

The bruise had persisted for six or seven months, often causing excruciating pain. Xiao Ning'er had endured it with great willpower, but the pain was always tormenting her. She had thought that treating the bruise would be a painful and difficult process, but to her surprise, Nie Li's technique was very gentle, and soon the pain that had tormented her for so long was significantly relieved.

Tears welled up in Xiao Ning'er's eyes. No one knew how unbearable that pain was. She would often cry secretly at night, but after wiping away her tears, she would continue to practice with determination. She never expected that Nie Li's massage would relieve her pain so much, filling her heart with gratitude.

The moonlight was bright, and Nie Li's face was clearly visible. His serious expression stirred ripples in Xiao Ning'er's heart, making it hard to calm down.

"Done," Nie Li stopped and smiled slightly. "There might still be a bit of pain for a while, but with proper rest, there shouldn't be any major issues."

"Um," Xiao Ning'er nodded, her face turning red again. "I have another bruise, can you massage it for me, Nie Li?"

"Another one?" Nie Li was taken aback. Thinking about it, if the bruise was only on her foot, it wouldn't have kept Xiao Ning'er bedridden for two years. So there must be a more serious one! "Where is it?"

Xiao Ning'er was in great internal conflict. If it was just her foot, she could accept it, but if it was somewhere else... Xiao Ning'er hesitated for a long time, her face burning with embarrassment.

"If it's inconvenient..." Nie Li said, seeing Xiao Ning'er's expression, he immediately realized that the bruise might be in a sensitive area.

"Nie Li, you like Ye Ziyun?"

"Yes," Nie Li nodded, recalling the life-and-death experiences he and Ye Ziyun had shared in his past life, his heart filled with happiness. In this rebirth, he would definitely protect Ye Ziyun.

At this moment, Xiao Ning'er felt a mix of emotions. Nie Li was the first boy who had made her heart flutter, but he liked Ye Ziyun.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Ning'er's eyes. She thought for a moment and asked, "Does Ye Ziyun like you?"

The current Ye Ziyun didn't know much about Nie Li and wouldn't dislike him. Nie Li smiled and shook his head, then said, "She will like me!"

Xiao Ning'er looked at Nie Li and laughed wryly. It turned out Nie Li was still in love unrequitedly. She wondered where Nie Li got the confidence to think that a girl like Ye Ziyun would like him. It wasn't that Xiao Ning'er thought Nie Li wasn't worthy of Ye Ziyun, but the chances of two people who didn't know each other well getting together were very slim. Ye Ziyun currently had no feelings for Nie Li, but if one day she understood Nie Li, she might really like him.

Currently, no one seemed to have discovered Nie Li's talents, but one day, Nie Li would shine brightly. At that time, even a girl like Ye Ziyun would be captivated by him.

To others, Nie Li was a good-for-nothing playboy, but Xiao Ning'er knew that Nie Li's abilities far exceeded people's imagination. Nie Li would definitely become a legendary demon spirit master like Ye Mo!

Xiao Ning'er struggled internally. If her illness wasn't treated, she would fall further behind the other geniuses around her. If Nie Li was the one to treat her, it wasn't too hard to accept. She bit her lip and began to unbutton her clothes.

Seeing Xiao Ning'er's actions, Nie Li felt a bit awkward and rubbed his nose, saying, "Is this really appropriate? I'm a principled person." Xiao Ning'er's graceful and cold demeanor, combined with her actions, had an indescribable allure.

Xiao Ning'er rolled her eyes at Nie Li. Was she a loose woman? If it wasn't for her treatment, she wouldn't have undressed in front of a boy. However, her hands trembled slightly as she unbuttoned her clothes, showing her inner struggle.

Nie Li thought for a moment. To save her, he couldn't be too particular. He couldn't just watch Xiao Ning'er lose all hope to her illness.

The atmosphere became intimate.

The first button, the second button, Xiao Ning'er's flat, smooth abdomen, free of any excess fat, was clearly visible, glowing in the moonlight.

The fifth button was undone, and Xiao Ning'er's perfect curves were fully exposed. Her chest was bound with a lace bandage, revealing the slight rise of her beautiful, firm breasts. Even though Nie Li was reborn, he couldn't help but swallow hard, remembering how Xiao Ning'er, though dressed conservatively in his past life, had a figure that could drive countless men wild with just a glance.

In no time, Xiao Ning'er would grow into a charming and alluring woman. Her cold and noble personality made her a target for many men to want to conquer.

Nie Li calmed his mind and focused on the bruise under Xiao Ning'er's ribs. The bruise, though only the size of a thumb, was very dark and shocking to see.

Nie Li felt a deep sense of pity. How could such a delicate girl endure such intense pain?

Nie Li placed his hand on the bruise and began to gently knead and massage it. Xiao Ning'er's skin was as cool as water, and her well-proportioned body gave a smooth, silky sensation through his palm, making his heart flutter. Looking down, Xiao Ning'er's face was flushed, like she had just drunk, with an indescribable charm. From above, he could see her clearly defined collarbone and the faint scent of a young girl.

Silently, neither of them spoke, the forest peaceful and tranquil.

Xiao Ning'er felt the warmth from Nie Li's palm. This was the first time in her life that a boy had touched her body so intimately. Her clothes were half-open, most of her skin exposed to the air, making her feel extremely embarrassed. Although she was strong, she felt lonely at night, especially when enduring unbearable pain. She longed for someone to lean on, but in her family, whether her brother or father, she felt deep indifference. Only at this moment with Nie Li did she feel a sense of reliance.

She revealed her beauty to Nie Li, glancing at him and seeing his focused and undistracted expression as he massaged her bruise. His serious attitude made her feel both grateful and a bit disappointed.

His thumb pressed on the bruise, occasionally touching her flawless, smooth arm, the delicate sensation making even Nie Li's heart wander. Memories of his past life, the night he and Ye Ziyun spent together, often surfaced in his mind.

At that time, Ye Ziyun's figure was much more developed than Xiao Ning'er's now, with a well-proportioned body. However, Xiao Ning'er was still young, and when she grew up, she wouldn't be much worse than Ye Ziyun.

The image of Ye Ziyun's serene and elegant appearance often appeared in his mind. Moreover, Ye Ziyun had died to save him. In this rebirth, Nie Li couldn't let her down. Thinking of this, he calmed his mind.

Nie Li was very meticulous, his fingers continuously massaging around the bruise and pressing on several important acupoints. Xiao Ning'er's well-proportioned body occasionally felt the softness of his touch on sensitive areas, making Nie Li feel a bit awkward.

Xiao Ning'er felt warm currents between her ribs, causing tingling sensations. Nie Li's hand occasionally touched her untouched breasts, making her face flush with a rosy hue, even more alluring. Her charming and alluring appearance made one want to embrace her and cherish her.

This was a tormenting process. After massaging for a long time, Nie Li finally let out a long breath and smiled brightly. "Done!"

Feeling Nie Li's hand move away, Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. She had to admit that Nie Li's massage technique was magical, significantly relieving her pain. Her tense mind, due to the pain, relaxed a lot.

"Thank you," Xiao Ning'er said softly, lowering her head to button up her coat.

Watching the white skin and graceful curves disappear from his view, Nie Li calmed his heart and said seriously, "Rest well for the next few days. The pain should ease a lot. Massage you every three days, and it won't take many sessions to completely heal. Don't practice soul power at night before reaching the Bronze level. Absorbing too much moonlight essence can have serious consequences if not properly balanced!"

"Um," Xiao Ning'er nodded. She wouldn't dare to practice recklessly anymore. If not for Nie Li, she could imagine how bad her future would be, and all her efforts would be in vain!

Seeing Xiao Ning'er was fine, Nie Li stood up and said, "I should go."

"Oh," although she couldn't quite describe her feelings, Xiao Ning'er nodded and, after a moment of silence, said, "Nie Li, you've helped me. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best!"

Seeing Xiao Ning'er's serious expression, Nie Li smiled and nodded. "Okay, if I need help, I'll find you!" In fact, Nie Li helped Xiao Ning'er out of pity, never expecting any return.

Nie Li turned and left, his figure disappearing into the forest.

Xiao Ning'er watched Nie Li leave, standing there for a long time. Feeling her pain significantly reduced, her mood suddenly became cheerful and pleasant.

"Nie Li, what kind of person are you?" Xiao Ning'er murmured, looking at Nie Li's back, feeling a bit excited, and turned to head towards the exit of the trial ground.

The night was cool, the moon bright, casting a layer of misty light over the darkness.
