Chapter 324 Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who are about to be transformed into fire.
A moment of silence.
After thinking it over, Ye Qifeng felt it was best to explain some things to Ye Huiyin and her daughter Ye Lingling.
And so.
He drew his attention away from Ye Lingling's captivating smile and turned his gaze to Ye Huiyin, who possessed a serene and elegant demeanor, speaking to her in a gentle yet extremely earnest tone:
"Sister Ye, please remember to keep the matter of taking celestial herbs to remove curses and correct martial soul defects a secret. Do not leak the information to others, lest it arouse their covetousness and bring unnecessary trouble and danger."
"After all, your Nine Heart Begonia Ye family is a support family that produces a lot of healing-type soul masters. In the Heaven Dou Empire, your situation is not very good. More importantly, your Ye family has a biggest competitor."
"And their family's inherited martial soul also has a flaw. In the end, it is the same as your Ye family's inherited martial soul, the Nine Heart Begonia. It is also a curse. Because the martial soul's auxiliary ability is too powerful and heaven-defying, it has been cursed by the rules of heaven and earth, and restricted and bound."
After a pause, Ye Qifeng cleared his throat, glanced at Ye Huiyin who had regained her senses and whose expression had become serious, and continued:
"If the people from that sect find out that the Ye family has the method to remove the curse and fix the flaws in your martial soul, it's hard to guarantee that they won't take action against your Ye family."
"The methods to remove the curse and correct the flaws in the martial soul alone are enough to attract their attention."
"Furthermore, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, after the curse is removed and the martial soul's flaws are corrected, will inevitably have a severe impact on their status and influence in the support world. For this reason, it is possible that they might even try to kill your Ye family."
"As for which sect or which force it is, I don't need to say more. I'm sure Sister Ye knows in her heart."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Ye Huiyin's expression turned serious. She nodded and assured him:
"Xiao Feng, I understand, I know how serious it is."
"Don't worry, I promise you, from now on, only Lingling and I in the entire Ye family will know about this. No one else will know. We will keep this a secret."
Hearing Ye Huiyin's serious assurance, Ye Qifeng was taken aback at first, then looked at her, smiled nonchalantly, and said:
"Sister Ye, there's no need to be so serious. You just need to keep this a secret for twenty years. After twenty years, you can do whatever you want with this information. It doesn't matter if you tell others."
Anyway, by then, the Spirit Hall should have already begun its conquest of the continent, and perhaps the entire Douluo Continent will have been incorporated into the Spirit Hall's territory.
As for that sect, whether it will still exist by then is uncertain.
Then, Ye Qifeng changed the subject and smiled:
"However, I suggest that you treat it as a family secret and pass it down through generations."
"After all, no one can guarantee that there won't be any more people with cursed martial souls among the Ye family's descendants."
"Therefore, mastering a method to remove the curse and eliminate the flaws in the martial soul is ultimately a good thing for the Ye family."
Upon hearing this, Ye Huiyin's eyes lit up. She exchanged a glance with her daughter, Ye Lingling, both of them showing surprise and delight. They were astonished that Ye Qifeng was so kind to them and so considerate of the Ye family.
That seems a bit too good to be true.
At that moment, Ye Huiyin and Ye Lingling felt a warmth in their hearts, suddenly experiencing the warmth of being cared for and protected, and were inevitably moved.
The mother and daughter, one the matriarch of the Ye family and the other the eldest daughter, are both inheritors of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, bearing the heavy responsibility of passing on their family's Martial Soul from a young age.
Judging from Ye Lingling's situation.
Ever since her grandfather, or rather her maternal grandfather, sacrificed himself so that she could awaken the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Lingling suffered immense pain and developed a deep-seated resentment. She became resistant to fate, closed herself off, and refused to interact with men. She has never experienced care and love from men since.
At this moment, facing Ye Qifeng's words of concern and care for them and the Ye family, she suddenly felt an indescribable warmth.
Although she never felt love from the opposite sex again after closing herself off, Ye Lingling had one good thing: at least she had a biological mother who always doted on and cared for her.
But Ye Huiyin was different.
She not only experienced the grief of her husband's early death, but also the sorrow of her father's willingness to die so that his daughter could awaken the Nine Heart Begonia, and her mother's subsequent death soon after.
Besides.
She also had to take good care of her daughter, Ye Lingling, who had developed inner conflicts.
Moreover, as the matriarch of the Ye family, she also had to take over the huge family, rack her brains to manage the operation of the Ye family, maintain the livelihood of the Ye family members, and keep it in good order.
It is easy to imagine how difficult Ye Huiyin's situation was, how great the blow she suffered, and how much bitterness she felt.
The hardships and pain she endured are probably known only to herself.
This can be seen.
Beneath Ye Huiyin's seemingly delicate face lies an incredibly strong heart.
but.
Right at this moment.
Hearing Ye Qifeng's words of concern for her and her daughter, as well as the Ye family, Ye Huiyin, who had always fought alone, shouldering the entire Ye family with her frail body and facing a pack of wolves, felt as if she had found a kindred spirit. An indescribable warm current surged in her heart, instantly warming her heart.
"Thank you, Xiaofeng!"
A moment later, Ye Huiyin's eyes widened slightly. She gently bit her lip and thanked Ye Qifeng again, her words filled with gratitude.
Ye Lingling also turned her gaze toward Ye Qifeng.
Her beautiful, shimmering eyes, with a gentle blink, seemed to speak volumes, filled with boundless gratitude, mixed with a unique and special fondness and curiosity.
"Sister Ye, you're too kind."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and waved casually.
Seemingly remembering something, Ye Qifeng slightly turned his head to meet Ye Lingling's beautiful gaze and said gently:
"Oh, right, and also Miss Lingling, it's best to keep your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolved into the Super Martial Soul Jade Heart Begonia, and the awakening of your Talent Domain a secret for now. Don't reveal the true state of your Martial Soul to anyone for the time being, so as not to attract the attention and suspicion of those with ulterior motives."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling gave a soft "hmm" in her light voice and nodded. She looked rather obedient, showing none of her usual coldness towards men, who kept her at arm's length and avoided her like the plague.
Unaware of Ye Lingling's change, Ye Qifeng looked at her delicate face and suddenly asked:
"Miss Lingling, your soul power should have reached level 30 by now, right?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm already level 30. Once I acquire a soul ring, I'll be able to break through to the Soul Master realm."
Ye Lingling gently raised her eyes, gazing at Ye Qifeng's handsome face, and responded to him with a hint of excitement in her voice:
"Moreover, I have a vague feeling that the soul power in my body is more than level 30, but I will only know the exact level after I absorb a soul ring and break through the realm."
"Understood."
Ye Qifeng was not surprised.
After all, the Jade Flower Heavenly Begonia that Ye Lingling consumed was a pure tonic herb of the immortal grade. In addition, she was already close to breaking through level 30, so increasing her soul power by a few levels with it was not a problem.
After a moment's hesitation, he said softly:
"Alright, Miss Lingling, don't rush about attaching the spirit ring for now. In a few days, Sister Erlong and I will be going to Sunset Forest to hunt for a spirit ring for Sister Erlong. We can take you with us then."
"Huh? Aunt Erlong is also going to hunt for spirit rings?"
Ye Lingling opened her mouth slightly and asked in surprise.
She remembered that her mother had mentioned that Aunt Erlong was at the Soul Saint realm. When they last met, her soul power level seemed to be only level 75. Why was she suddenly going to hunt for soul rings?
Could it be that she has already broken through to level 80 in soul power?
Could it be...?
Suddenly, Ye Lingling had a flash of inspiration and thought of a certain possibility.
"Xiao Feng, Erlong has already broken through to level 80? Could it be that she also consumed a celestial herb?"
As if hearing Ye Lingling's thoughts, Ye Huiyin, who was standing gracefully beside her, asked in a soft voice on her behalf.
"Yes, Sister Erlong also consumed a celestial herb and has broken through to level 80. She is now hunting for her eighth soul ring."
Looking at Ye Huiyin and her daughter Ye Lingling, who were also somewhat surprised, Ye Qifeng smiled and, instead of hiding it, told them the truth.
After all, the mother and daughter were already very familiar with Liu Erlong. Even if Ye Qifeng didn't mention it, they would definitely find out in their future interactions with Liu Erlong.
"How about it? Want to come with us?"
Ye Qifeng looked at Ye Lingling and asked her a couple more questions, then added:
"As for your safety, you can rest assured, I will definitely ensure your safety."
Ye Lingling was somewhat tempted and subconsciously glanced at her mother, Ye Huiyin. Seeing her mother nod, she softly agreed.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you and Aunt Erlong."
"Then it's settled."
Having agreed on the matter of acquiring the soul ring, Ye Qifeng's tone relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you, Miss Lingling."
Next, Ye Qifeng also relayed to Ye Lingling the same instructions he had given Dugu Yan: to be wary of Qin Ming, a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
"Okay, I understand."
After exchanging a glance with her best friend Dugu Yan, who was listening quietly beside her, and receiving confirmation, Ye Lingling suppressed her surprise, shook her head of blue hair, and agreed.
Then, Ye Qifeng said:
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Let's go out now. I'm afraid Senior Dugu Bo is getting impatient."
As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Huiyin, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, three beauties each with their own unique charm, nodded in unison.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them opened the stone door of the quiet room and rushed out.
Just as the group was about to step out of the quiet room.
Ye Lingling, whose face was now veiled in black again, suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on Ye Qifeng. She spoke softly, her voice low:
"Um, Holy Son, could you please stop calling me 'Miss'? Just call me by my name, Lingling."
When saying this.
Under the black veil, Ye Lingling's face was visibly flushed, but because of the veil, it could not be seen by outsiders.
However, her pair of bright, expressive blue eyes, as clear as water, allowed people to easily understand the profound meaning contained within them.
At this moment, in this situation, her beautiful eyes were almost filled with anticipation, mixed with a hint of trepidation and nervousness.
"what?"
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's suggestion to negotiate, Ye Qifeng turned his head, met her eyes, and was momentarily stunned.
"What I mean is, Holy Son, you can just call me by my name, Lingling. There's no need to call me 'Miss,' it seems a bit too polite."
Facing Ye Qifeng's gaze, Ye Lingling's eyes flickered slightly, and her face flushed even more, but she still mustered her courage and repeated what she had said.
Ye Huiyin watched this scene in amazement, a smile spreading across her beautiful face. She felt indescribably gratified and happy that her daughter had suddenly come to her senses and taken the initiative to close the distance between herself and Ye Qifeng.
So she decided to temporarily put aside her guilt towards her best friend Liu Erlong and help her daughter.
With a thought, Ye Huiyin looked at the hesitant Ye Qifeng, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing into crescent moons, and chuckled softly as she advised:
"That's right, Xiaofeng. You and Lingling are only a year apart in age. There's no need for you to be so polite when you call Lingling. Just call her by her name, like I do."
"this"
Ye Qifeng was completely stunned at this moment, wondering what was going on. Why did all the girls in Douluo Continent like to put so much effort into changing their titles?
Huo Wu is like this, Dugu Yan is like this, so why are Ye Lingling and Ye Huiyin bringing it up now?
It's important to know that many relationships often begin with the changing of how people address each other, where goodwill arises unintentionally and then develops into romantic feelings.
This is why Ye Qifeng always insisted on calling other girls "girl".
The purpose, of course, is to maintain an appropriate distance so as not to address each other too intimately, which could lead to inappropriate feelings.
After all, Ye Qifeng possesses a mysterious aura. If they get too close, it's easy for the girl to be influenced by him, causing her to develop unusual feelings for him.
Just like when Huo Wu suggested that Ye Qifeng change how he addressed her, asking him to call her Xiao Wu like her father Huo Hong and brother Huo Wushuang did.
Although the name reminded Ye Qifeng of a certain mischievous rabbit who kept calling her "Third Brother" and so he chose to give it up, he still agreed to change the way he addressed her and started calling her by her name, Huo Wu.
However, this also brings up a problem.
That is, during the month or so they spent together, Huo Wu fell in love with him, and she fell deeply in love with him, even to the point of being obsessed with him.
This left Ye Qifeng feeling incredulous and somewhat troubled, but in any case, having stirred the girl's heart, he should at least give an explanation.
He had originally planned to return to the Spirit Hall after resolving matters in Heaven Dou City, and on the way, visit Huo Wu to give her the gift he had promised, and also to resolve the issues in their relationship...
But now, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan next to her seem to be showing signs of transforming into fire-wielding demons as well?
How can this be done?
