The next morning I had breakfast with nie li who was still scrubbing ink off of his face. When there was a knock on the door.
I got up to answer it and saw it was 2 rather well dressed guards. "You and nie li have both been invited to meet the city lord we are here to escort you if you wish to go." says the man politely as nie li looks at me in confusion.
"The old man was following us all day yesterday and your girlfriend probably also mentioned us to him so he pretty much saw everything and is either curious, worried or both about us." I tell him casually picking up some eggs cheese and sausage on my plate and throwing it on some toast before calling out to the gaurds.
"Lead the way gents." I say chewing on my sandwich and following behind them with a wary nie li.
We make our way through the city to the core of the city where the city lords manor is located.
We are let in to the giant walled mini villa easily with the guards leading the way.
nie li looks more nervous the closer we get.
I just smile.
We are led into a giant mansion and see a giant middle aged man sitting on a kind of high seat looking at the two of us before waving all the gaurds away.
"So your the one responsible for the extermination of the sacred family and the tons of heads I found at the foot of my bed along with hundreds of notes proving their guilt." he says glaring at me.
"Yep. I'll have to discuss with my squad about proper decapitated head placement though." I say with a ponderous look.
nie li just let's out a choked cough as he didn't expect me to just fess up.
I look back at the city lord with another pitying look. "Did you know that the sacred family that you thought as a brother is also responsible for the death of your wife?" I say making his eyes widen in shock.
"Impossible my wife died from sickness!" he shouts standing up and releasing his power.
I wave my hand and a ghost of the leader float out and starts talking about everything he had done and the jelousy he held towards ye zong for stealing the woman he loved.
He collapses back into his seat with a blank look.
"You know I could offer you a deal." I tell the man.
"I want you to be a better father towards ziyun and I want some things in the treasury also your adopted son is a problem he has an insane obsession with becoming the city leader and marrying ziyun which isn't going to happen. in return for you fixing these problems" I wave my hand and the ghost of a beautiful purple haired woman appears smiling at the man.
"I'll revive your wife and help this idiot keep your city safe." I point towards the gobsmacked nie li.
"I accept!" the man roars before getting on his knees and bowing his head hard on the ground. "please give me back my wife."
I speed through hand signs as the ghost dissappears and the king of hell pops out spitting a young woman out with purple hair I quickly cover her in a cloak.
Nie li watches on in shock as I just casually bring people to life.
The city lord surges to his feet and rushes towards his wife with tears in his eyes hugging her and begging for forgiveness.
However the response he gets is a sickly sweet voice that makes him tremble in fear even I tremble as I know that voice.
"What's this I hear about you being a bad father to ziyun and making her lonely?" she says making the air chill at an astonishing level.
he starts to mutter out excuses. "it was to make her stronger and and and....." soon sounds of a beating start to echo in the hall as me and nie li watch the show with interest as this tiny little woman destroys the city lord.
"Ah before you kill him i want you to make sure he invites Xiao ning'er, me, and nie li to live in the villa it will probably cheer up ziyun to have a friend by and my house sucks also this is your future son in law. He may look like a dissapointment but that's because he is." I say throwing nie li towards the stunned group and walking out.
"I refuse! My daughter can't marry such a smelly brat." comes the voice of the city lord behind me as I just chuckle.
I make my way towards the academy as to not be late like I'm sure nie li will be.
I enter the classroom and find my seat which now has Xiao ning'er and ziyun sitting next to it.
"Ah ziyun you'll have a wonderful surprise later when you get home." I tell the girl before sitting next to Ning'er. Apparently they had intimidated the students who used to sit next to me to leave.
The girls just give me a confused look while I take out my books.
as expected nie li didn't even show up he was probably facing the wrath of the city lord and his wife. I could only suppress the cackle building up as I imagined his bitter face.
