How Much For Your Soul

Ye Ziyun wished she was back on Earth living in comfort. While not perfect, her life was very comfortable. She had been blessed with a loving family and good looks, a combination that made it easy to succeed in the western world. The hardest thing she had to face was whether or not to go out partying with her girlfriends.

Now she was in a world where self-flushing toilets were non-existent, and people face life and death challenges just to survive in this cruel world. Ye Ziyun had thought it would be a great adventure to live in one of her favourite fantasy novels.

This was her guilty pleasure, reading web novels and fan-fictions online. Not even her closest friend knew about her hobby as it would tarnish her reputation as one of the top socialites in her city. It would be totally embarrassing to be outed as a nerd.

When she had appeared before Alastor, the pervy God, she thought her friends had spiked her drink again! It was so unbelievable that the only explanation had to be that she was hallucinating! But her fears were quickly realised when He explained why she was there, and her future mission. Fortunately, He was as simple as most males and thought with his dick.

Just like all the other guys she had ever met, she was able to 'earn' some extra privileges with her looks. Men had always bought her things or helped whenever she asked, and she had become a professional at getting whatever she wanted. She had a sexy body and a beautiful face, why not use it? She had long ago thrown away her virginity and learnt that the most powerful weapon a woman had was her sex appeal.

Prostitution was the oldest profession in the world, and with today's standards of dating on tinder, sex was a common commodity. Sex sells, and Ye Ziyun had been rich! So when she learnt that she was to be reborn in the world of Tales of Demons and Gods, she chose the body of the most beautiful women available, Ye Ziyun. With the extra points she had acquired, she enhanced her future body to charm any male that had eyes.

Ye Ziyun had chosen the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal Pendant as her cheat because of its overpowered time abilities. She could quickly level the realm up with sex but had to be careful of Nie Li finding out. She planned to have him teach her his techniques and hold onto his leg as they dominate this universe. It would be devastating to her plans if he found her sleeping around.

If she was unable to use sex to level the realm, then she could just ask Nie Li for a technique to increase her spiritual strength. After all, that was how it actually increased its level. Coitus was just a quick fix by utilising the pendant to combine ying and yang to develop spiritual energy.

The Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was an overpowered cheat and the cheapest that was suitable for this universe. Ye Ziyun had been even happier when Alastor informed her that it would be removed from the list when she chose it. As the loser she was competing against could not earn points as she had, he would not be able to afford a decent cheat system.

But her happiness had come crashing down the day she had reincarnated. What had been the start of her adventure had turned into the beginning of her nightmare! Now that she thought about it, everything started to fall apart the moment she distanced herself from Shen Yue.

Now that 'Lord Voldemort' revealed himself, it was clear that he had moulded Shen Yue intro a trap for her to walk straight into. But how did he do it? He had clearly set things in motion years before she had joined the storyline. She cursed herself for the umpteenth time for not thoroughly checking the options on Alastor list.

Even being drugged and found having sex with Nie Li did not worry her too much, as she had planned to give herself to him anyway. No, what really made her hate her current life was something she had never wanted to happen. She was pregnant! And the whole City knew!

She had felt a little nauseous but nothing like morning sickness, how did the entire City know before her? FUCK! That little shit from Earth must have done this! Ye Ziyun had been asked by her maid if the rumours were true, and an hour later the Family doctor had affirmed her condition.

Without missing a beat, she had asked if there was a way to terminate it, there was no way she was raising a kid in a fictional world. Her goal was to increase her power, survive as Nie Li did his thing, and then reincarnate back on Earth into a wealthy family. Having a child suckling at her breast was never in that plan!

Unfortunately, this question ended up causing her pain as her 'mother' slapped and yelled at her for being trash. Apparently, there was no way she was getting rid of it and would have to carry the child to term! Fuck that, there was no way she was going to become a mother.

Today she was meeting Nie Li, she needed to expedite their plans to elope to the Nether Realm for reinforcements. But how to get Nie Li on board with aborting the child?

"Ziyun! Is it true? Are you pregnant?"

Great, speak of the devil. "I'm afraid so, the child seems to have grown rather fast. The doctor thinks it might have something to do with the speed of my cultivation." She spoke with as much energy as a wet cat.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I just worry that having a child now will derail our plans, we need to get help to fight Lord Voldemort!"

"Is that all, don't worry Ziyun. I can find the Nether Realm by myself, you just have to take care of yourself. Leave it to me!" Nie Li said with confidence.

Ye Ziyun knew straight away that she would not find an ally in this ginger idiot, would she really have to have this baby? She did not care about her 'parents', but she needed Nie Li and his plot armour to survive! Even if they ended up in different sects, Nie Li would find numerous resources to boost her strength.

Defeated, she could only find solace in the fact that she didn't have to traipse through the wilderness looking for a cave to the Nether World. She was dreading the fact that they would have to brave dangerous beasts just to enlist help against that arsehole from Earth! How did it all go so wrong!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Nie Li was running along a mountain path. It had been a month since he found out he was going to be a father, and it was hard to keep the grin off his face. Even the hellish hours of pill refining could do little to dampen his joy! But he got the feeling that Ye Ziyun was not as happy about it as he was, then again, he was over three hundred years old, while she had died at the age of fifteen. It was natural to be a bit apprehensive about becoming a mother at a young age.

Since he could not risk any harm to his child, Nie Li had to make this trip alone. They had originally planned to leave together, but with Ye Ziyun in a fragile condition, he thought it best for her to remain at home with her parents. It was to easy for something unexpected to happen and cause damage to the baby.

Nie Li was staking everything on this trip. By leaving the Immortal Elixir Guild without permission, he voided the contract that he and his Family signed. Unless he received the backing from this Nether Lord, his Family would become slaves! He could not afford to fail.

Three days later, Nie Li had finally found the cave marked on his map. It had taken a lot of searching as there was only a general area marked. Ye Ziyun researching abilities were incredible, she had found evidence of a supreme master living in a separate realm and even found the entry to his domain! Apparently, thousands of years ago, humans had retreated from the demon beasts to this realm under the protection of the Nether Lord.

They could only hope that he would help Glory City regain its rightful lord. Nie Li had confidence in his ability to offer something enticing enough to get the Spiritual God's help. He was also curious about what a god was, maybe it was just a native Heavenly Fate expert that had explored the Draconic Ruins.

Nie Li had just reached the Gold rank before he felt strong enough to make this trip. The pills the Immortal Elixir Guild had him making cut short his predictions by two months! Unfortunately, the best demon spirit he could find to integrate with was a Golden Horned Land Dragon with a good growth rate. This was the demon spirit that Ye Han would have used if he had joined the Snow Wind Family. When Shen Yue saved Ye Rou, it negated the reason for his adoption.

The Golden Horned Land Dragon was as defence type demon beast that could perform vicious physical attacks with its hammer-like tail, as well as a fire breath attack called 'Raging Flames of the Dragon'. Although it was a strong demon spirit, it lacked versatility like the Shadow Devil. Nie Li could not find any other demon spirit worthy of contracting, leaving him with limited options during a fight.

As soon as Nie Li entered the Nether Realm, he saw that the ground was filled with cracks flowing with blazing magma and billowing out white smoke in bursts. The whole world was filled with the smell of sulphur.

Suddenly, when Nie Li walked forward, a chirping sound was heard coming from the surrounding area. Shadowy figures appeared in Nie Li's line of sight. Their bodies were black in colour, with sharp ears and they were looking at Nie Li with eager expressions. It was Dark Elves!

Suddenly, three Dark Elves of Gold-rank strength pounced towards Nie Li. They probably felt that they were stronger than him, which is why they took action. It would be the last mistake they ever made!

Nie Li's body underwent a transformation and turned into a human-looking Golden Horned Land Dragon. Before the Dark Elves could get close enough to attack, a giant spiked hammer-like tail whipped around and turned them into mangled heaps of flesh. With Nie Li's fighting experience, these small fries were mere ants waiting to be stepped on!

Nie Li transformed back to his original self and continued to walk towards the city in front, the city gate was already in sight. He never thought that there would be such a realm that would have all kinds of races that look different from one another, walking about.

There were Troglodytes, Dark Elves, Golems and Tailed Men actually living lives similar to that of a human's. They were shouting all kinds of slogans, buying and selling all kinds of stuff, making Blackrock City bustle with activity.

In the Blackrock City's streets, Nie Li wore a black cloak as he quietly walked down the streets while looking around. With so many inhabitants, it would be easy to find out how to contact the Master of the Nether Realm. Soon, he would be back with his beloved Ziyun, and hopefully, at the head of an army!
