566: Chapter 566 Amazing Observational Skill

After staying at the academy for two days, Nie Ning directly returned to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

As for how he got back, he naturally took a Teleportation Array.

Large-scale Teleportation Arrays would cause violent spatial fluctuations, making them easily detectable by major factions, but small-scale Teleportation Arrays were slightly better.

Coupled with the technical support of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, it was hard to discover the existence of the Teleportation Array as long as one didn't get too close.

However, since it was built in secret, there were some restrictions on its use; it didn't lead directly into the interior of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, but rather to an area half a day's journey away from the Soul-less Ravine.

In this way, even if someone discovered the Teleportation Array, the Extreme Phase Demon Palace could find other excuses to deny it.

...

After returning to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, Nie Ning went back to his own residence.

After all, having been away for so long, what if someone cuckolded him?

Nie Ning stealthily approached the vicinity of the castle, then slipped into it using a pre-prepared secret door.

The interior hadn't changed much from before he left, except for the addition of some decorations that looked very expensive.

Although Nie Ning had some complaints about this and felt that they shouldn't be so high-profile,

after all, he was no good person, but a treacherous spy, and heaven knows what would happen later.

If one day he had to run for his life and couldn't take them with him, that would really be a huge loss.

But people were spending their own money; even with all his dissatisfaction, Nie Ning truly lived comfortably, so he had even less reason to criticize them.

Nie Ning sneaked over to the master bedroom, gripping the door frame with both hands to look inside, but Amivika was nowhere to be seen.

He wanted to use his Spiritual Power, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

Right at that moment, someone lightly patted Nie Ning on the shoulder, scaring him so much that he shuddered.

"What are you sneaking around for?"

Amivika asked, folding her arms across her chest and glaring irritably at Nie Ning.

"What do you mean I'm sneaking around? I just have a backache."

Nie Ning defended himself pretentiously while clutching his back.

Amivika obviously didn't believe him and could naturally guess what Nie Ning was thinking. With a cold snort, she returned to the room and began tidying up.

"What are you doing?"

Nie Ning hurriedly pressed down on Amivika's hand.

"Since you don't trust me, why should I keep living here?"

Amivika flung away Nie Ning's hand and continued packing her clothes.

"Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong, okay? Look, this time I brought you a good thing."

Having no other choice, Nie Ning could only take out the blue world rune.

Anyway, the environment of the Aquatic World had already been destroyed, and who knows how many years it would take to recover.

Without the support of the world core, this world rune naturally lost its function.

"I knew you were the best to me."

Amivika's expression changed faster than flying, happily planting a fierce kiss on Nie Ning's face before impatiently demanding that Nie Ning transfer the world rune to her.

Nie Ning sighed inwardly.

Besides coming back to exchange for cultivation techniques this time, there was actually another matter to attend to.

His soul had been injured during the previous trip to the Aquatic World, and he urgently needed some heavenly treasures to heal the soul injury, which naturally required contribution points.

Of course, world runes were extremely precious, and those resources could actually be exchanged anywhere, except that it would be hard to explain the origin of the world rune that way.

In case trouble arose, at least Amivika would be there to take the heat.

Looking at the ecstatic Amivika, Nie Ning suddenly thought of his dragon egg.

But if he just handed it over to Amivika like this, wouldn't it be a bit too rash?

Moreover, upon careful thought, Amivika's performance had been extremely flawless—smart, virtuous, sensible, and proficient in everything from teaching to nurturing.

Precisely because of this, Nie Ning always felt that Amivika was more like she was putting on an act, and perhaps there was some unspeakable secret behind it.

"What are you thinking about, so spaced out?"

Amivika pushed Nie Ning's arm and frowned: "Are you cheating?"

Seeing Nie Ning's brows twitch slightly, Amivika knew there was something wrong with him. This damned guy must have stolen a bite behind her back!

Looking at the world rune in her hand, Amivika smiled: "It's fine, as long as there are no children."

"How could that be."

Nie Ning gave a dry laugh.

This time Nie Ning didn't have any change in expression, but his flickering eyes were caught by Amivika.

Although it was only for an instant, it was already enough to serve as evidence for Amivika.

Amivika's expression instantly turned ugly.

"You'd better confess honestly, or when I find them, I will definitely make them—I will definitely make them meet a gruesome end!"

To her, playing around was just playing around, and it wasn't really a big deal.

Just like how she treated Amanra, once her strength improved, she would just tear Amanra's mouth apart, without taking Amanra's life.

But having a child was different; that was clearly snatching her fortune! It would be strange if she could endure that!

At this moment, Nie Ning was completely numb, looking at Amivika as if looking at a monster.

'What kind of look is that? Your powers of observation are simply too strong, could it be mind reading?'

"Even if you were given several hundred years, you might not necessarily be able to beat her."

Nie Ning couldn't help rubbing his nose and muttered softly.

"What did you say?!"

Amivika roared angrily, giving Nie Ning a huge start.

"Nothing, nothing, I will handle my own matters well and won't make you worry. You must not do anything irrational."

Nie Ning lowered his head and said helplessly, his eyes unconsciously glancing toward her chest.

"You'd better!"

Amivika gave a cold snort and then walked downstairs.

Afterward, everything seemed as if nothing had happened, and Amivika even thoughtfully prepared meals for Nie Ning...

...

The next day.

Nie Ning woke up in a start from the bed and quickly reached out to touch his chest.

But it was completely empty there; even the beast-taming bag containing the dragon egg had vanished into thin air.

"Damn it, are you a dog? How the hell could she even find this!"

Nie Ning couldn't help but hurl profanities.

Last night, caught off guard for a moment, he ate Amivika's food, never expecting that this foolish woman would actually drug the meal!

Thinking of his dragon egg, Nie Ning hurriedly crawled out of bed, spreading his Spiritual Power throughout the entire castle.

But apart from the cultivation room and the laboratory being sealed by arrays, Amivika's figure could not be found anywhere else.

"Could this stinking woman have roasted my precious dragon egg?"

Nie Ning instantly panicked.

This wasn't just about the dragon egg; what if the Mutated Giant Dragon came looking for it? Even eight hundred lives wouldn't be enough for him to die.

Like a whirlwind, Nie Ning rushed swiftly into Amivika's laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, the dragon egg was placed inside a huge container, and Amivika seemed to be calculating various data.

Seeing Nie Ning, Amivika threw herself into Nie Ning's arms with an excited look.

"Thank you, hubby, for actually giving me such a precious gift."

Nie Ning froze in place, looking down at Amivika in utter disbelief.

'Good grief, who taught you to use preemptive strikes like this?'
