Chapter 6 My name is Ye Nanxiao
Chapter 6 My name is Ye Nanxiao
Chapter 6 My name is Ye Nanxiao
A year later, Jiang Nannan had grown into someone who resembled Ye Nanxiao from his previous life. Ye Nanxiao planned to leave the Jiang family after Jiang Nannan enrolled in school. Calculating the time, Jiang Nannan was almost twelve years old and would soon be attending Shrek Academy.
However, Jiang Jia's health was deteriorating, even though she continued to take medication.
Ye Nanxiao had secretly investigated and found that it was simply a peculiar illness that had developed in his early years, and medication had almost no effect on it.
Ye Nanxiao suspected that Jiang Jia might not be an ordinary person, but Jiang Jia kept refusing to tell Jiang Nannan the truth about her body, making Jiang Nannan believe that the medicine was working.
One day, Jiang Nannan suddenly returned home early and saw Ye Nanxiao taking care of Jiang Jia, who was feeling weak all over, by serving her tea and water. She then pressed Ye Nanxiao for the truth.
"Xiao'er, are you telling the truth?" Jiang Nannan hugged Ye Nanxiao to her chest.
Feeling the sensation on his face, Ye Nanxiao's entire fox-like face turned completely red.
"Awoooooo~"
"No, I won't let go until you tell the truth. Let's see how long you can hold out this time," Jiang Nannan replied firmly.
Since discovering that Ye Nanxiao, the snow fox, was very intelligent, Jiang Nannan has hardly treated him like a pet. In particular, she only discovered by chance that holding him in her arms would make Ye Nanxiao very shy.
"Snow Empress, save me!" Ye Nanxiao struggled and sent a distress signal to the Snow Empress.
"Oh dear, who told you to keep it from Nan Nan? I can't save you now." Xue Di said without turning her head, looking at the comic.
"Keeping it from Nan Nan is for her own good. Once I turn back, what's so difficult about fixing Jiang Jia's body? I can even use your power to cleanse her marrow and tendons." Ye Nanxiao was still struggling.
"Then have you figured out how to turn back? You've been cultivating for over a year." Xue Di finally put down her comic book and looked Ye Nanxiao in the eye.
"According to my observation, it seems that I accidentally activated the blood pact within the bloodline of the great demon of Qingqiu," Ye Nanxiao said in a serious tone.
"Nonsense, I know that. So how do I turn back?" the Snow Empress asked calmly.
"Well, I should find a contractor," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"Then let's look for her. I think Jiang Nannan is pretty good." Xue Di picked up the comic book and continued to lie down and flip through it, while casually blasting Ye Nanxiao out of her mental sea.
The soft touch stimulated Ye Nanxiao's facial nerves again; Jiang Nannan had no intention of letting Ye Nanxiao off the hook.
"My goodness, Aunt Mary!" Ye Nanxiao felt his face getting hotter and hotter, and quickly wagged his tail in surrender.
Jiang Nannan saw Ye Nanxiao's nine tails wagging in a uniform pattern and understood that Ye Nanxiao was surrendering by raising his white tail.
Holding Ye Nanxiao up, she stared at him with her beautiful eyes, waiting for an explanation.
Seeing the anger blazing in Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes, Ye Nanxiao lowered his ears and confessed everything.
"What! You're saying Mom's health seems better but is actually getting worse!" "Aww (Yeah)!"
"Xiao'er, why didn't you tell me sooner!" "Aww, aww (afraid you'd worry)"
"Mom, you too, why did you let Xiao'er keep it from me!" As she spoke, she choked up, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, as if they would burst at any moment.
Jiang Jia sighed and said, "Nannan, I know my own body. The root of the illness is deep in my bones, and no amount of medicine will help. Let's pack up and go to Shrek Academy next year."
Ye Nanxiao was startled. When did Jiang Nannan bring back the admission notice? Upon closer inspection, he discovered a white, card-like object in Jiang Nannan's right trouser pocket.
"Is Jiang Jia really just an ordinary woman?" Ye Nanxiao wondered to himself.
"Mom, you've really gone too far! I'll think of something!" Jiang Nannan cried as she ran out the door.
"Xiao Xiao, go follow Nan Nan!" Jiang Jia said to Ye Nan Xiao, who had just run to the door, without turning her head, which surprised Ye Nan Xiao again.
Is Jiang Jia no ordinary person? Jiang Nannan is born with full soul power, so how could Jiang Jia be an ordinary person? Could it be that she has gone into seclusion for some reason?
Without time to think, Ye Nanxiao hurriedly caught up with Jiang Nannan. After living together for more than a year, Ye Nanxiao had already placed Jiang Nannan in his heart.
"Nannan, you can't get hurt!" Ye Nanxiao suddenly remembered that the plot was about to begin, which meant that Jiang Nannan was about to meet Xu Sanshi, which also meant that special ritual.
No! I, Ye Nanxiao, will absolutely not allow this tragedy to happen!
In his emotional state, Ye Nanxiao was unaware that the blood vessels in his body were reacting to his emotional fluctuations.
As he ran desperately, Ye Nanxiao did not notice that a faint red glow appeared on his nine white tails, and a blood-red line appeared beneath the blue markings under his fox eyes.
Ye Nanxiao quickly noticed the changes within his body and the power that was gradually surging forth.
As if sensing something, the Snow Emperor in the Sea of Spirit raised her head. With a wave of her hand, an ice mirror appeared out of thin air. Looking at Ye Nanxiao's current appearance, the Snow Emperor's expression became serious. She flew to the sky above the Sea of Spirit and stared at the blood-red fox pattern deep within the Sea of Spirit. It was the mark of Ye Nanxiao activating the bloodline of the Great Demon of Qingqiu. At this moment, it shone brightly with red light.
Xue Di raised her delicate hand, preparing to suppress the blood-red fox demon pattern, when she heard Ye Nanxiao's frantic shout, "No! Xue Di! I need power now!"
Xue Di frowned slightly and asked, "Are you preparing to use the power of the contract?"
"Yes, I need to change back. There's no other way; I can't borrow your power right now. This is all I can do!" Ye Nanxiao roared in a low voice.
Xue Di hesitated for a moment before lowering her raised hand, but remained highly vigilant. Since it concerned Ye Nanxiao, Xue Di had to be cautious, even if it meant sacrificing Jiang Nannan. Thinking of this, Xue Di's face turned cold.
Ye Nanxiao could naturally sense Xue Di's thoughts. He smiled bitterly to himself and ran even harder, using his mental perception to explore the widest possible area.
After searching for a quarter of an hour, Ye Nanxiao finally found Jiang Nannan at a corner.
Ye Nanxiao ran frantically, and when he saw Jiang Nannan making a deal with two villains (Ye Nanxiao imagined it himself), Ye Nanxiao's fox eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Awooo!" he shouted with all his might.
Hearing the sound behind her, Jiang Nannan turned around and saw Ye Nanxiao running towards her. She quickly took a few steps forward, squatted down, and tried to pick Ye Nanxiao up.
Ye Nanxiao bypassed Jiang Nannan's delicate hand and stood in front of her, his nine tails standing upright, his fox eyes shrinking into an extremely dangerous arc, the blood-red light in his pupils growing stronger, his entire body bristling, his body slightly arched, ready to react at any moment.
Ye Nanxiao caught a glimpse of the sign on the door behind the two villains out of the corner of his eye: Xuanming Sect Branch Hall. This made Ye Nanxiao's anger intensify.
"Miss Jiang, let's continue our transaction. You need a Xuan Shui Pill, and we'll exchange it for your virginity," one of the bald men said, glancing warily at Ye Nanxiao. The fox in front of him made him feel a sense of danger.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao's emotions exploded. He roared, his blood energy surged, and a red halo erupted from his body, striking the two men. The two men were merely waiters, their highest level no more than thirty. How could they possibly withstand the shockwave unleashed by Ye Nanxiao using the bloodline of the Great Demon of Qingqiu? The two men were sent flying with screams, unable to even use their martial spirits, and landed stiffly on the ground.
Jiang Nannan was stunned, her delicate hand, which had been meant to comfort Ye Nanxiao, froze in mid-air.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Nanxiao grabbed Jiang Nannan's trouser leg and dragged her outside, telling her to leave.
"What's going on!" With a loud shout, an old man in black flew out, six soul rings flying out of his body. He was a resident protector of the Xuanming Sect branch. After all, the town where Jiang Nannan lived was too small and there were not many soul masters, so the old man got the nice job of a branch protector with his six-ring cultivation.
Ye Nanxiao stared intently at the old man with his fox eyes, and the red light on his nine tails grew stronger and stronger.
The old man was sitting inside, leisurely drinking tea and calculating how much he could benefit from the branch's budget for the month, when he suddenly felt a tremor in his soul.
"Something's strange!" The old man couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately unleashed his full soul power and flew out. He saw a little girl and a little snow fox. Although the snow fox that Ye Nanxiao had transformed into looked different from ordinary snow foxes, the old man couldn't sense anything.
Turning to look at the two who had been knocked away, he asked in a deep voice, "Xuan Yi, Xuan Er, what happened?"
Xuan Yi, who was lying on the ground, said, "I don't know, Elder Wei. Just now, this little girl was willing to be the young master's evolution partner. They were talking very well when suddenly a beast came over. Xuan Er and I didn't notice and were knocked away." He was trembling as he spoke. The pressure of the great demon of Qingqiu was not something a mere three-ring Soul Venerable could withstand.
"Little girl, is this really true?" Old Wei looked at Jiang Nannan.
"No, that's not it." Jiang Nannan quickly stood in front of Ye Nanxiao. She sensed Ye Nanxiao's desire to protect her, so she gave up the idea of exchanging her virginity for the Xuan Shui Pill.
"Hmph, then you can keep this snow fox!" Seeing that Ye Nanxiao could knock away two Soul Venerables and that he couldn't sense much soul power, Old Wei concluded that this was the offspring of a powerful soul beast, possibly even a top-quality one with a mutated bloodline. He was thinking about how to hand it over to the young master to get some benefits.
Old Wei grabbed at Ye Nanxiao, his soul power surging, and even Jiang Nannan, who was blocking Ye Nanxiao's way, was knocked away. Ye Nanxiao watched as Jiang Nannan was knocked away, his eyes wide with rage.
Ye Nanxiao's anger flared up, and he roared to the sky, "Old man, you're asking for death!"
The nine tails were instantly stained with blood. Ye Nanxiao opened his fox mouth, drained his soul power, and spat out a blood-red shockwave. At the same time, his body swelled up in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he became the size of an adult snow fox. His sharp claws seemed to cut through the air as he slammed down on the old man.
Old Wei was caught off guard by Ye Nanxiao's sudden surge in strength. Caught off guard, he took the hit from Ye Nanxiao's blood-red shockwave and coughed up blood. Before he could catch his breath, he looked up and saw Ye Nanxiao's claws coming down. Old Wei estimated that if he took another hit from the fox claws in his current state, he might be seriously injured. Old Wei was cautious all his life and trusted his intuition very much.
"This beast is dangerous! If I don't get out of the way, I'll become a laughingstock today!" Old Wei thought to himself.
Wei Lao's soul power surged, and a layer of jet-black scales appeared on his body. Blue-black soul power intertwined in front of him to form a shield.
The blood-red claws slammed into the dark blue shield, and Ye Nanxiao's soul power surged. A strange snowflake pattern gradually appeared in his fox eyes.
"Sigh, I was too impulsive." Xue Di sighed, watching Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea turn into a blood-red world, and then she unleashed streams of blue soul power into the spiritual sea.
As Xue Di's soul power merged in, the world, which had turned blood-red, quickly returned to its original state.
A hint of clarity appeared in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
Elder Wei used all his soul power to block Ye Nanxiao's fox claws and retreated more than ten steps. While Elder Wei was retreating, Ye Nanxiao grabbed Jiang Nannan and threw her onto himself before flying away. Ye Nanxiao did not know how long he could maintain his adult snow fox state, so he decisively chose to retreat.
Old Wei was filled with apprehension and dared not rashly pursue them. He turned and vented his anger on Xuan Yi and Xuan Er, kicking them both away and cursing, "It's all because of you two good-for-nothings! You made me suffer today's consequences. No one is to be allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Send people to investigate that snow fox!"
The oppressive aura of a six-ring Soul Emperor enveloped the entire branch hall, and no one dared to breathe loudly, fearing only that they would suffer the same fate as Xuan Yi and Xuan Er.
"This is not like you. The Xuanming Hall will probably investigate us secretly. It's not safe to stay here any longer," the Snow Emperor said calmly.
"Destroy them if they come!" Ye Nanxiao replied.
Ye Nanxiao had a feeling that he could no longer maintain the form of an adult snow fox, so he found a quiet alley, put Jiang Nannan down, and turned back to his previous size.
Jiang Nannan looked at Ye Nanxiao with a complicated expression, squatted down, reached out and rubbed Ye Nanxiao's head, and said softly, "Xiao'er, Mom needs that Xuan Shui Pill, I can't help it."
Jiang Nannan blushed slightly and cursed, "You lecherous fox." She carried Ye Nanxiao home. Ye Nanxiao's impulsiveness today had awakened Jiang Nannan. She couldn't imagine how she would face her mother if she really acted rashly and became the Xuanming Sect's evolution partner.
After returning home and talking to her mother for a while, Jiang Nannan carried Ye Nanxiao back to her room.
"Xiao'er, what should I do? I really want to help my mother." Jiang Nannan sighed and stroked Ye Nanxiao's nine tails.
Ye Nanxiao got up and stared at Jiang Nannan for a long time.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she scolded, "You lecherous fox, what are you looking at?"
Ye Nanxiao humanely pointed his paw at Jiang Nannan's hand. Jiang Nannan was a little confused, but out of trust and understanding for Ye Nanxiao, she still extended her hand.
Ye Nanxiao gazed at Jiang Nannan's jade-like hands. Although Jiang Nannan often did housework, she had not left any marks on them.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Jiang Nannan again, and as if making up his mind, he bit Jiang Nannan's ring finger.
"Ah, Xiao'er, why did you bite me!" Jiang Nannan cried out in pain, and then saw Ye Nanxiao use his fox claws to make a mark on his forehead, pressing his forehead tightly against Jiang Nannan's bleeding finger.
The Snow Empress naturally knew Ye Nanxiao's thoughts immediately, but she was still somewhat surprised.
"Xiao'er, you've finally made up your mind?" Xue Di asked in surprise.
"Yes, it should have been done a long time ago," Ye Nanxiao replied.
Jiang Nannan felt a warm soul force flowing into her body from her ring finger, making her feel warm and comfortable. She couldn't help but groan. This groan almost made Ye Nanxiao lose all his previous efforts. He quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts, activated the blood pact within his body, and signed a blood pact with Jiang Nannan.
Ye Nanxiao had this idea half a year ago, but he hesitated. If given the chance, Ye Nanxiao's most desired client was Ye Guyi, who possessed the Holy Angel Martial Soul. This was not for any other reason than that when he read the novel, he became extremely curious about Ye Guyi. When he saw Ye Guyi's final fate, Ye Nanxiao almost sent several boxes of razor blades to the Third Young Master.
However, after living with Jiang Nannan for a year, Ye Nanxiao felt that he had fallen for her. Compared to Ye Guyi, whom he had never met, Ye Nanxiao felt that cherishing the person beside him was more important.
Today, when Jiang Nannan almost stepped into the original plot at the Xuanming Sect, Ye Nanxiao felt his heart nearly break. Unconsciously, she became so important to him. When fighting with Elder Wei, Ye Nanxiao's mind was filled with Jiang Nannan's every smile and frown. When she was happy, Ye Nanxiao was happy; when she was sad, Ye Nanxiao was sad. Seeing Jiang Nannan being knocked away by Elder Wei, Ye Nanxiao was furious beyond words. He almost triggered the Snow Emperor's seal. If the Snow Emperor hadn't intervened to awaken Ye Nanxiao, he might have squeezed out the power in his bloodline and perished together with Elder Wei.
All of Ye Nanxiao's thoughts entered Jiang Nannan's mind through the blood pact. Jiang Nannan didn't care about Ye Nanxiao's actions and was stunned. She stared blankly at Ye Nanxiao, "So, you have always loved me deeply..." Her voice trembled slightly.
As Jiang Nannan spent more and more time with Ye Nanxiao, she had already realized that he was not an ordinary snow fox. However, she was still very surprised when she learned the truth.
The snow fox she had lived with for a year turned out to be a human, just like herself. Anyone would be shocked by this, but fortunately, Jiang Nannan had already witnessed many of Ye Nanxiao's amazing feats, so her composure had improved considerably.
As the blood pact fully entered Jiang Nannan's spiritual sea, a faint blue pattern of the Qingqiu Great Demon appeared on Jiang Nannan's forehead, exactly the same as the pattern hidden in Ye Nanxiao's body.
As the blood pact was completed, Ye Nanxiao felt the long-lost power return. His whole body was surrounded by a light blue light, and he visibly transformed back into a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, except that he was naked.
His silver hair shimmered in the sunlight, casually draped over his shoulders. His skin was as smooth as cream, pure white and flawless. He was extremely handsome, and the smile on his face, coupled with his deep black eyes, made him look mysterious and sinister. When Jiang Nannan first saw Ye Nanxiao, he seemed like a beautiful young girl.
When Jiang Nannan saw Ye Nanxiao naked, her face turned bright red. She excitedly pushed Ye Nanxiao to put on his clothes, but she was immediately greeted by a warm embrace.
Jiang Nannan's face turned red, and she tried to push Ye Nanxiao away, but then she heard a gentle "Don't move" in her ear. After that, she stopped struggling and hugged Ye Nanxiao instead.
Although the little snow fox suddenly turned into a human boy, Jiang Nannan was surprised, but she did not resist Ye Nanxiao's embrace. In Ye Nanxiao's arms, Jiang Nannan felt a sense of security.
"Although it's a bit complicated to explain, I am human. I became like that because my cultivation went wrong. Besides, I don't want to let go of your hand. I want to continue being with you," Ye Nanxiao said softly.
"I thought you were very perceptive, but I didn't expect you to be a human in disguise," Jiang Nannan said softly, her face flushed.
"We've already signed a contract, I'm yours now." Ye Nanxiao's eyes were full of tenderness as he held Jiang Nannan's small hand tightly.
Ye Nanxiao silently used his soul power to help Jiang Nannan's body recover. The contract had just been signed, and it had taken a toll on both of them. Jiang Nannan felt warm all over and couldn't help but hug Ye Nanxiao tighter. The two hugged like that until Xue Di couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke up to remind her, "Ahem, Xiao'er, how long are you going to hug me? You've just turned back. Give her some time to process this."
Awakened by the Snow Emperor, Ye Nanxiao suddenly remembered that he had something important to do: to help his mother-in-law cleanse her marrow and bones. He cupped Jiang Nannan's pretty face in his hands and kissed her red lips under her staring gaze, just as Jiang Nannan would always hug Ye Nanxiao, who was still a snow fox, affectionately.
Ye Nanxiao's sudden kiss made Jiang Nannan's face turn even redder.
After a while, Jiang Nannan's voice, barely audible, came through: "Put your clothes on first."
Ye Nanxiao found the soul guide bracelet from back then in Jiang Nannan's room, took out a set of clothes from it and put them on. He turned around and looked at Jiang Nannan, who was covering her eyes with her hands but peeking through her fingers, and laughed, "Nannan, you've seen everything. You have to take responsibility for me."
Upon being discovered, Jiang Nannan said earnestly, "I...I will take responsibility!"
Ye Nanxiao took Jiang Nannan's hand. "Let's go. We still need to help my mother-in-law with her bone marrow cleansing. Let's hurry."
Jiang Nannan then remembered that her mother was still weak, so she quickly grabbed Ye Nanxiao's hand, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Do you have a way?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, took Jiang Nannan's small hand tightly, and walked into Jiang Jia's room. Jiang Jia watched Ye Nanxiao lead Jiang Nannan in, her gaze lingering on Ye Nanxiao's hand holding Jiang Nannan's small hand.
Jiang Nannan's face turned red to the roots of her neck, but her little hands showed no sign of loosening their grip.
Jiang Jia broke the silence first, "You're that little snow fox, aren't you?" Her tone was completely unquestioning, as if she already knew about Ye Nanxiao's transformation into a snow fox.
Ye Nanxiao smiled to himself, thinking to himself that he had just realized that Jiang Jia was no ordinary person.
"Auntie, let me introduce myself again. My name is Ye Nanxiao, and I possess the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox Martial Soul. I am currently a Control-type Great Soul Master. I transformed into a Snow Fox before because of some issues that arose during my cultivation, which I had no choice but to do," Ye Nanxiao said.
Jiang Jia looked at Ye Nanxiao gripping Jiang Nannan's hand tightly and said playfully, "Oh? Xiao'er, aren't you going to change your address?"
Jiang Nannan couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her foot and ran out, closing the door behind her.
Seeing her daughter so happy, Jiang Jia felt happy too. She had been bedridden for many years, and her daughter had suffered so much.
With a serious expression, he said to Ye Nanxiao, "I sensed your unusual soul power fluctuations when you were lying at my doorstep. Moreover, your martial soul is special. I don't know your intentions, but you are quite something."
Ye Nanxiao's expression remained unchanged. If Jiang Jia wanted to attack him, she would have done so already. He smiled and nodded.
Jiang Jia continued, "When I was young, I was a Super Douluo."
Ye Nanxiao could no longer maintain his composure, his face filled with surprise.
Ignoring Ye Nanxiao's surprised expression, Jiang Jia continued, "Due to some worldly disputes, I trusted others too easily, which led to me being ambushed by my enemies. In order to take revenge, I risked everything I had to find my enemy and used a secret technique to forcibly increase my cultivation. With the determination to perish together with them, I managed to take revenge and survive. However, the aftereffects of the secret technique greatly reduced my strength, almost turning me into an ordinary person. I was forced to flee alone to this small town to live in seclusion, where I met Nan Nan's father. Unfortunately, Nan Nan's father passed away early, leaving Nan Nan to suffer."
Then, with unusual seriousness, he said to Ye Nanxiao, "Ye Nanxiao, are you willing to swear on your life that you will love and protect Nannan for the rest of your life?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao solemnly replied, "I swear on my life that I do not know what kind of forces I will face in the future, but I can assure you that no matter what kind of danger I encounter, I will die before Nannan."
The door slammed open, and Jiang Nannan stood in the doorway, tears streaming down her face. She trembled as she said, "Mom, why do you never tell me these things? Why?!" With that, she threw herself into Jiang Jia's arms.
Ye Nanxiao tactfully withdrew and then went to the door.
Stepping out of the house and sitting on the steps by the door, Ye Nanxiao looked up at the sky. He could vaguely hear Jiang Nannan crying coming from inside. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a long while, he secretly made up his mind, "Only children make choices; I want it all!"
