Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

"Brother, remember to come back early."

"Mm, you need to be good, listen, don't run around, and take good care of mom."

Outside the house, Shi Ling waved her little hand to say goodbye to Shi Feng. Shi Feng, leading a black horse, walked out of the courtyard.

Shi Feng was in no hurry, nor did he mount the horse. He led it slowly forward, entering the village path. It wasn't long before Shi Feng saw a figure standing not far ahead on the path.

The figure, with its back to him, wore a green robe, had long hair draped over the shoulders, and the hair and robe fluttered in the wind.

Shi Feng recognized who it was almost immediately.

It was the daughter of Butcher Li from the village, Li Ru.

Her family, in Xiuling Village, was relatively wealthy, and Li Ru herself was the flower of the village, the most beautiful woman in Xiuling Village.

In his memory, Shi Feng had once been enamored with Li Ru, because she was not only the most beautiful young woman in Xiuling Village, but her family also ran the butcher business.

If he had married her, then he, his sister, and his mother could have eaten meat every day.

One moonlit night, they met on the village path where Shi Feng mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to her, but he was mercilessly rejected.

At that time, Li Ru had said, "My beloved will be a Martial Artist from the Tianheng Continent, a true warrior whose Martial Arts Cultivation must at least be at the Martial Warrior Realm! One day, he will come on a high horse to marry me."

Reflecting on those memories, Shi Feng smiled bitterly, somewhat helplessly. He couldn't believe he was so lowly ambitious back then, so much that now he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He was Emperor Nine Nether, the supremely exalted Emperor Nine Nether, and even if his memories hadn't awakened back then, his soul was still supreme.

As if sensing Shi Feng behind her, Li Ru leisurely turned around. Shi Feng saw a face that was still somewhat delicate, just as cold and aloof as it had been back then.

Once again, Shi Feng sighed to himself, disheartened. His taste in this life had become so inferior; this kind of beauty, if it were in his previous life, even if she kneeled down and offered the Dark Evil Supreme Treasure, he wouldn't consider her worthy.

She wouldn't even qualify to be a servant.

"Shi Feng." Li Ru called him with a slanting glance, her tone as disdainful as ever, her expression just as it had always been.

As if looking down on him, viewing him with disdain.

"What now? Coming here to this path early in the morning to block my way? Intending to irritate me on purpose?" Shi Feng could tell that this woman was standing here just waiting for him.

Shi Feng even thought, had this woman been hiding somewhere near his house since early morning, waiting for him to leave, then moved here to stand with her back to him awaiting his arrival, only to slowly turn around and reveal her so-called "beauty capable of overthrowing cities"?

Seeing the profuse sweat on Li Ru's forehead, face, and neck, Shi Feng felt that his guess was probably very close to the truth.

"You!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, Li Ru was momentarily stunned, and her prepared speech was caught in her throat, the scene completely unlike what she had imagined.

Originally, she thought that upon seeing her, Shi Feng would surely be submissive and carefully appease her to gain her favor.

Then Li Ru instantly realized, this poor boy must have thought that his previous approach wouldn't win her heart, so he changed to another strategy to pursue her, definitely trying hard, perhaps even a "do-or-die" effort, but what use would that be?

Thinking this, Li Ru sneered disdainfully, wearing a look as if she had seen through everything, and said, "Shi Feng, just give up already, there's absolutely no chance between us."

What?

Shi Feng's forehead immediately creased with black lines. Just about to speak, Li Ru cut him off again, "You fought a few strong men in the village, beat up the village chief, do you really think you're a Martial Artist now? I'm sorry, you just have brute strength.

What I said about him riding a tall horse to marry me, it was a metaphor of honor, not like your stolen horse. Your actions will only involve our entire village and push all of us into the pit.

Shi Feng, don't waste your efforts anymore; it's utterly impossible between us, my heart already belongs to someone else."

Listening to Li Ru's words, more black lines appeared on Shi Feng's forehead. He wondered where this woman got such a sense of superiority. Just about to speak, Li Ru cut him off once more, her face full of pride, truly oozing with superiority.

"You must be curious about who he is, right? He's completely different from you, one is the sky, the other the ground, one a true man, while you're just a nobody who can only live at the bottom for life.

He's a genuine Martial Artist, just twenty years old, his Martial Arts Cultivation reached the Martial Warrior Realm, a prodigy. One of the Four Great Families of Moon City, the Wang Family, they've even hired him as their Protector, my heart..."

"Enough!" Shi Feng saw that Li Ru wanted to continue, and with a low shout, he cut off her words, damn, this woman is relentless.

But after a while, Li Ru's voice drifted through again, "Shi Feng, there's no need to be angry, I'm telling you all this for your own good, hoping you can see yourself clearly, stop daydreaming, stop wasting time, and harbor no illusions about me."

Li Ru thought Shi Feng's low shout was completely because she had mentioned that man, which angered him.

At this moment, Shi Feng could no longer tolerate, his eyes slightly narrowed, he coldly shouted towards Li Ru, "If you dare to say one more disgusting word to disgust me, I will behead you right now! Don't block the way, get lost now!"

Somehow, Li Ru suddenly felt Shi Feng had completely changed. Looking at her, she even felt a palpitation, and her body involuntarily trembled, as if not doing as he said, he would really kill her.

Under this feeling, Li Ru trembled and involuntarily cleared the way. Shi Feng moved, his body flew backward and landed on the black steed. He cast a cold glance at Li Ru, kicked the horse's belly, "Go!"

The horse, in pain, neighed loudly, galloping away, carrying Shi Feng into the distance.

Watching Shi Feng's gradually disappearing figure, Li Ru suddenly felt a sense of trance, imagining what it would be like if she could sit behind him, wrapping her arms tightly around him from behind...

Tch, tch, what was she daydreaming about? She already had Brother Zhong, he a true Martial Artist, his future achievements unimaginable.

He... he dared to threaten me just now? This isn't over, I must tell Brother Zhong about this, have him stand up for me, Shi Feng! You will regret this!

Li Ru visualized a scene of Shi Feng kneeling at her feet, trembling and begging for mercy. Oddly, the more she thought of Shi Feng like that, the more thrilled she felt.
