XuanHuan 16
"I ain't shameless." Nie Tian feared of another accusation and gave a quick explanation, "That you haven't awakened your vital spirits is not a result of deficient talents, but quite the opposite. You are blessed with such talents and powerful vital spirits. What takes the blame for your burning sensation everyday was your vital spirits, Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven."
"It is so powerful of the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven that the vital spirits could only be awakened with some supporting means. I have to check the Phoenix Seal in your underbelly before I determine the proper means to help you awaken the vital spirits."
The Phoenix Seal was a powerful seal given shape to in a Kung Fu learner's underbelly by the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven, bearing the confined formidable power of it.
Nie Tian was not sure about the approach to awaken the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven until he learned what level the Seal was at.
"Are you serious?" Mo Ruxi had only a little learning. But the way Nie Tian put it really made her hesitant.
"Come on, do I sound like joking?"Nie Tian was almost speechless.
"Then why would you help me. If I have my vital spirits awakened, I will definitely defeat you. Isn't it of no use helping me?" Mo Ruxi was still hesitant as the underbelly was a rather private part. It could not be shown without discretion to someone, especially one that was shameless.
Nie Tian was somewhat impatient now. He said it squarely, "Mo Ruxi, I help you because I admire you for your tough will. You have been enduring the Phoenix Seal for two years and a half, which is definitely something that ordinary people can't do. And that alone could explain the reason I help you. Also, I am certainly not a shameless guy as you thought. And my time is priceless. If you will not show it to me, I can leave right now."
Indeed, Nie Tian could not wait any more valuable time, as he had to hurry up finding himself the cure to poison.
Mo Ruxi stood where she was, biting her lips tightly. She finally made up her mind and nodded her head, "Fine, I'll show you."
She closed her eyes as she said, untying her purple dress with two hands.
Nie Tian was rendered speechless. The facial expression of Mo Ruxi was as if the result of being taken advantage. Anyone who should witness the scene would definitely have the impression that Nie Tian did something to her.
It took quite long before Mo Ruxi walked the difficult step.
The moment Mo Ruxi untied her clothes, Nie Tian was astounded, feeling dryness in his mouth.
It had to be pointed out that sixteen-year-old as Mo Ruxi was, she had an attractive figure.
Gorgeous shape and perfect curve. She was plump and slim in a perfect sense. She was absolutely bootylicious.
The smooth underbelly had no proud flesh. The skin was white and so tender that a blow or a pinch would break it. She resembled a ripe peach. A gentle touch would squeeze the water out. People would usually find it hard to resist the temptation to kiss.
"You shameless, what are you looking at?'Suddenly Mo Ruxi opened her eyes and yelled her shyness out.
Blushing, Nie Tian felt somewhat embarrassed. He quickly said, "I was checking attentively."
Mo Ruxi was reddened even more. She had her clothes untied. And she would have felt taken advantage of if Nie Tian found nothing.
"Nie Tian, you shameless. You'd better awaken my vital spirits, or I shall kill...No, I won't let you get away with it."Mo Ruxi thought to herself, with anger.
Nie Tian got himself together and carefully observed the underbelly of Mo Ruxi. Apparently, it did not seem abnormal.
But Nie Tian could see that there were streaks of crimson halos beneath her underbelly.
The crimson halos were the Phoenix Seal imprinted by the Flame of Phoenix.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"..."
"Nine."
Nie Tian was counting the numbers of the crimson halos. His face shifted sharply as he counted the ninth.
"The Phoenix Seal should rank the ninth level."Nie Tian made a step forward suddenly, attaching his hand to the underbelly of Mo Ruxi.
"What are you doing?"Mo Ruxi did not expect Nie Tian to touch it in addition to check it, and she screamed.
"Don't move." Nie Tian thundered, with overbearing force in his voice.
Somehow, Mo Ruxi calmed down, biting her lips and moving not a bit.
Nie Tian rolled his palm over Mo's underbelly, feeling the burning sensation of the Phoenix Seal, sweating heavily on his forehead.
Her underbelly was literally a furnace. The hand over there could even feel the burning flame.
For quite some time, Nie Tian extracted his palm and gave a long dirty breath.
His palm became red and swollen, as if it had just come out from boiling water.
"You, you okay?" Mo Ruxi knew that she misunderstood him at the sight of his sweaty face and swollen palm. She showed her concern as well as guilt.
With several stretches, Nie Tian's palm soon recovered.
He signaled Mo Ruxi to get dressed and slightly frowned, "Things are worse than I expected. The Phoenix Seal has ranked the ninth level. It could go even worse if I fail to find the way to awaken the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven within three days?"
"Three days?" Mo Ruxi was stunned, "What if you can't."
Nie Tian answered seriously,"If I can't find the way to awaken the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven within three days, you will be encroached and burned by the Phoenix Seal."
"Am I gonna die?" Mo Ruxi displayed her scare in her face.
"Yep. You will have nothing that remains." Nie Tian nodded. So thought he.
The ninth level of the Phoenix Seal was a most furious state. Had the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven not waken up, the Phoenix Seal would go out of control. And then, it would not only claim the life of Mo Ruxi, but burn down everything within several kilometers.
So basically, staying with Mo Ruxi was no different from standing before a volcano that was about to abrupt at any time.
"Do you know how to repress the Phoenix Seal?" Mo Ruxi asked discreetly after moments of silence.
"Repress?" Nie Tian was almost amused, "The Phoenix Seal was the condensed version of the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven. Its power was beyond imagination. To repress the Phoenix Seal, you must have the Ice of Ten Thousand Years and Darksteel in the Abyss Sea, or Thousand-Leaf Kalanchoe or the Purple Fleece-Flower Root. You can't find any of them in Moyang City or even the Three Thousand Small Worlds. "
Mo Ruxi was paled and silent, with her head laying lower.
Although she knew little of what Nie Tian meant, she could see that it was barely possible to repress the Phoenix Seal.
At the sight of Mo Ruxi, with her head lowered and mouth shut, Nie Tian suddenly smiled, "Well, even though I can't repress the Phoenix Seal, I have a better way to relief your pains rather than repress the Phoenix Seal."
"What is that?"Mo Ruxi raised her head with a startle, fixing her blue eyes into Nie Tian.
"Awaken your vital spirits," Nie Tian put on a confident smile, "As long as the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven was awakened, the Phoenix Seal will naturally remain under control of the Phoenix in the Ninth Heaven."
"You shameless. I got fooled around again." Mo Ruxi curled her mouth as Nie Tian was laughing merrily.
Mo Ruxi had no idea what happened to Nie Tian, but she could feel that Nie Tian had changed. He was mysterious and powerful. To be with Nie Tian brought herself an incredible sense of security.
"You can rest assured. You stay with me and I got your back and help awaken your extremely powerful vital spirits." Nie Tian took another look at Mo Ruxi. He was surprised to find that there should be such an amazing beauty in the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
"Let's head there first." Nie Tian cast his eyes over, pointing a mountain range in the distance.
"The Ripcloud Mountain." Mo Ruxi almost screamed like a frightened rabbit, "My father warned me of the danger of the Ripcloud Mountain. I can't go."
"Just follow me. There is nowhere you can't go." Nie Tian was still wearing his confident smile. He took the hand of Mo Ruxi directly.
