375: Chapter 375 Amy Vika's Amazing Move
Hearing Amelia's words, Nie Ning's scalp tingled, and he couldn't help but recall what the person on the bed had said.
'Do not tell anyone else where I am.' Could that 'anyone else' be referring to Amelia?
That person on the bed...
"What happened? Weren't you two getting along just fine last time?"
Nie Ning invited Amelia into the room and poured her a cup of tea.
"I don't know. Maybe I spoke too harshly last time. I shouldn't have called her selfish."
Amelia couldn't help but clench her fists, a mist of tears welling up in her eyes.
Ever since that day, her mother's attitude had become much colder, and she no longer cared for her as she used to.
She had originally thought it was just a childish temper tantrum and that things would return to normal before long, but who could have imagined that her mother would actually leave Yishi Mansion?
"It probably has nothing to do with you. Your mother isn't that petty; perhaps she just went out to clear her mind."
Nie Ning sighed inwardly and could only softly comfort Amelia.
In reality, Amelia's words last time were indeed a bit hurtful, but Amivika running off and abandoning her daughter was also a bit outrageous.
If it were Nie Ning, he would at least have given Amelia a beating before running off.
Of course, he couldn't say this to her face; after all, everyone makes unintentional mistakes, and dismissing someone entirely over one incident would be too overbearing.
"I don't know. Although Mother was often nowhere to be found in the past, she had never disappeared like this, without leaving a single word."
Amelia's voice choked with sobs; she regretted saying those angry words last time, and she even more regretted inexplicably being jealous of her own mother.
"Doesn't your mother have any close friends? Maybe she's with them."
Nie Ning thought for a moment and asked.
But Amelia shook her head.
"No. My mother is obsessed with cultivation and rarely interacts with outsiders."
Hearing this, Nie Ning felt a massive headache coming on.
A whole mess of problems had really piled up all at once.
He had half a mind to take Amelia upstairs to take a look, but remembering what the person upstairs had said, Nie Ning didn't know what to say for the moment.
In the end, after chatting for a few more minutes, Amelia left the villa in low spirits.
...
Watching Amelia's receding figure, Nie Ning closed the door and hurriedly ran back to the room, just in time to see the woman stretching with her back to him, as if she had just woken up.
As the woman turned her head, her lazy expression carried a hint of charm; she was a woman who looked seventy percent similar to Amelia.
Although she was Amelia's mother, she didn't look old at all; in fact, her features appeared even more refined and delicate.
One had to admit, she was indeed more beautiful than Amelia.
"Have you seen enough?"
Amivika asked with a calm expression.
Nie Ning snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Amelia is looking for you. You should go back with her quickly."
"None of your damn business!"
Amivika retorted directly.
Nie Ning was rendered speechless by her retort.
Although her words didn't carry any real lethality, having a beautiful woman speak like that would make anyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Since Amivika's words made him unhappy, Nie Ning naturally wouldn't give her a pleasant look.
"Leave immediately, or I will go call Amelia back right now."
Nie Ning pulled back the quilt, intending to pull Amivika up, but was distracted by her fair thighs.
"Are they good to look at?"
Amivika asked with a smile on her face.
"I..."
Nie Ning had just started to speak when he saw Amivika's expression turn cold. A cyan whirlwind blasted Nie Ning out of the room, and the door slammed shut immediately after.
"I've requisitioned this room. If you dare tell Amelia, you're dead."
Amivika's cold, stern voice came from inside the room.
Nie Ning rubbed the back of his head and stood up from the floor in anger, his internal magic power gathering toward his palms.
"If certain people find out I'm staying here, even if I don't lift a finger, you'll end up in a miserable state."
Perhaps having sensed the elemental fluctuations, Amivika's voice sounded again.
Standing at the door for a moment, Nie Ning recalled the rumors about Amivika and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
After all, she was Amelia's mother; Nie Ning had learned a bit about her during his time back.
There were many people who pursued Amivika back then, it was just that Raleigh was the most prominent among them.
If they were discovered, it would indeed cause a lot of trouble.
Not to mention that Amelia was already quite famous here; the news of her mother leaving Yishi Mansion would only land him on the trending topics.
Given his current situation, he might really end up getting backstabbed to death.
However, letting Amivika stay here was clearly not an option.
After all, he had always kept himself clean; he couldn't have rumors spreading about him being involved with a married person, as that would damage his reputation.
'Looks like I need to find a way to force her to leave.'
Nie Ning rubbed his chin, looking at the door before him with flickering eyes, pondering what to do next.
"My Lord, My Lord, there's a new discovery!"
Just then, Korda's shouting came from downstairs.
Nie Ning's spirits lifted instantly; he couldn't care less about some damn beautiful young woman now, and with a single stride, he dashed downstairs.
...
Inside the laboratory.
Inside a diamond-shaped crystal covered in runes, a mass of pale pink light was flickering with a faint glow.
"I improved the basic structure of the nether spirit gold, and then, using the Hormuz Energy Condensation Array mentioned in the book recently, I processed the Artificial Spirit liquid you mentioned into a solid state."
Korda, who was standing to the side, spoke incessantly.
Nie Ning listened very carefully, excitement swirling in his eyes.
However, upon hearing about the Hormuz Energy Condensation Array, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he even doubted if he had misheard.
"The Hormuz Energy Condensation Array is effective?"
The Hormuz Energy Condensation Array is a type of formation mainly used for condensing energy bodies, making the energy dense and preventing it from dissipating, which sharply reduces the decay rate.
But he remembered that this type of formation had no effect on soul energy.
Even if there were soul-type materials surrounding it as a barrier, it would still leave Spiritual Power and soul energy in a dissociated state, thereby causing the awkward situation of being unable to condense.
"I referenced the gravitational magnetic field theory from Introduction to World Composition and improved the nether spirit gold, giving the nether spirit gold the effect of guiding Spiritual Power."
Korda explained with an excited look on his face.
Although he didn't know why Nie Ning was so obsessed with this, since he could help Nie Ning, it was the perfect opportunity for him to repay his debt of gratitude.
Moreover, he really enjoyed doing this kind of thing; this was something he had always longed for but could never obtain in the past.
Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly, subconsciously taking a few more looks at Korda.
Introduction to World Composition is a wizarding book that mainly introduces the reasons and elements of the world's composition; it doesn't mention anything about material improvement.
A talent!
He had underestimated Korda before.
Korda was no longer just a person; he was a genius!
The problem that he couldn't solve even after racking his brain, this guy solved it so easily...
Nie Ning couldn't help but doubt his own life; could it be that he was really a mediocre talent?
