Bloodline Nourishment, the Possibility of Martial Soul Evolution

"Don't be scared, Rongrong. Our Rongrong is so adorable and well-behaved. How could Brother Taichu bear to send you away?"

"What I mean is, I want to go home with you. I want to make a big business deal with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Rongrong, your father is the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Brother Taichu will need you to introduce me to him."

Jiang Taichu rubbed Ning Rongrong's little head and spoke to reassure the charming, adorable girl.

Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing him out.

"So that's what you meant. I thought Brother Taichu wanted to send me away."

Ning Rongrong patted her chest and promised Jiang Taichu:

"Don't worry, Brother Taichu. I'll definitely get my dad to make this big deal with you."

"Oh, right, Brother Taichu, what kind of big deal do you want to make with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

That was what Ning Rongrong wanted to know.

She came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As its little princess, she had grown up surrounded by business, and with her quick, clever mind, she knew a thing or two about it.

If nothing else, she was certainly better at it than the vast majority of merchants on the Douluo Continent.

"I'll tell your father when the time comes."

"This big deal will definitely take you by surprise, Rongrong."

Jiang Taichu smiled, leaving her with a riddle.

"Mm, then I'll listen when the time comes."

Ning Rongrong was very obedient to Jiang Taichu and didn't keep pestering him for an answer.

In front of others, she was a mischievous, willful little princess.

But in front of Jiang Taichu, she, Ning Rongrong, was an obedient little kitten.

The next day.

Jiang Taichu had just woken up when he heard a rapid knocking outside his courtyard.

Jiang Taichu could have figured out who was outside with his toes.

"Stop knocking, Sister Lingling."

"I'll open the door right away."

Jiang Taichu rubbed his eyes, walked over to the courtyard entrance, and opened the gate.

As soon as he opened it, he saw Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, their faces full of curiosity.

This left Jiang Taichu thoroughly puzzled.

"You two look a little scary like that."

"What's going on?"

Jiang Taichu led the two women into the courtyard and sat them down, pouring each of them a cup of tea.

"Little Taichu, have you noticed anything strange about your body?"

Ye Lingling leaned closer, her big eyes fixed on Jiang Taichu.

Jiang Taichu tilted his head and gave Ye Lingling a sideways look, wondering what this bizarre girl was up to now.

"What could be strange about my body?"

"Sister Lingling, stop speaking in riddles."

Beside her, Dugu Yan cleared her throat.

"I'd better explain."

Dugu Yan slowly began recounting what had happened yesterday.

"Little Taichu, after we got back yesterday, whenever Lingling and I got close to you, the blood in our bodies seemed to boil, and we felt unusually comfortable."

"Since we both felt it, we guessed it must have something to do with your body."

"We came over today because we wanted to tell you about it."

After hearing her out, Jiang Taichu frowned slightly, already turning it over in his mind.

Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling only started reacting this way after I recorded the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline and fused the two bloodlines.

Boiling blood and a comfortable feeling don't sound like a bad thing at all. Perhaps Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling's Martial Souls will even evolve in the future.

But the process should take a long time. I only have two super bloodlines right now. Although my bloodline strength is high, it still isn't enough to quickly bring about a change in someone's Martial Soul.

But the more bloodlines I record and fuse, the faster I'll be able to make someone's Martial Soul evolve.

The prerequisite is that their Martial Soul is weaker than my bloodline.

Seeing Jiang Taichu's brow relax, Dugu Yan asked:

"Little Taichu, have you figured something out?"

Hearing this, Ye Lingling turned her gaze to Jiang Taichu, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Jiang Taichu nodded gently.

"Mm, I have a rough idea of what caused it."

Ye Lingling leaned closer and urged him:

"Tell us, tell us! I want to know what caused it."

Jiang Taichu didn't voice his guess directly. Instead, he planned to guide the two women through it step by step.

That way, they could truly understand the reason behind it.

"Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, let me ask you a question first."

"Do you know why powerful Soul Masters generally have powerful offspring?"

Ye Lingling was still thinking when Dugu Yan spoke first:

"Little Taichu, do you mean... bloodlines?"

Jiang Taichu nodded to Dugu Yan and continued:

"A Martial Soul is essentially a reflection of the strength of one's bloodline."

"That's also why the descendants of the strong are generally strong, while the descendants of the weak are weak."

"Weren't you always wondering why my Blue Silver Grass was so powerful?"

"Now I can give you a more accurate answer. Because my bloodline is powerful, my Martial Soul is also very strong."

"If a Soul Master's bloodline reaches a certain level of strength, it can influence others and make their Martial Souls... evolve!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's pupils contracted sharply, and both women couldn't help swallowing.

"Martial Soul... evolution?"

"Mm."

Jiang Taichu looked at the two women and shared his guess.

"What happened to you yesterday was probably caused by the influence of my bloodline power. Your Martial Souls are developing little by little toward evolution."

"But judging from your bodies' reactions, I can guess that it will probably take a long time for my bloodline to bring about your Martial Souls' evolution."

Ye Lingling nodded in sudden understanding.

"So that's it."

"It looks like this is a fortuitous opportunity for Yanzi and me."

Dugu Yan's eyes, however, lit up, and she looked at Jiang Taichu with a face full of longing.

"Little Taichu, then I'll move in with you from now on."

"I want my Martial Soul to evolve."

Ye Lingling also belatedly turned to Jiang Taichu.

"Little Taichu, me too!"

The more time they spent with Jiang Taichu, the sooner their Martial Souls could evolve.

Martial Soul evolution was a fortuitous opportunity countless Soul Masters dreamed of.

For it, countless Soul Masters would willingly pay a heavy price.

But now, just by staying at Jiang Taichu's side, they had a chance to evolve their Martial Souls. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes instantly burned with desire.

Seeing the burning desire in Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes,

Jiang Taichu didn't refuse them. He agreed instead.

"All right. My courtyard is fairly large, and there are several rooms here. There's enough space for you to live in."

"Oh, yeah!"

Ye Lingling jumped for joy.

Dugu Yan couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from lifting either.

Just then, Ning Rongrong came out of the house.

Still groggy, she spotted Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

"Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, why did you come so early today?"

Ye Lingling came over to Ning Rongrong and smiled as she pinched her adorable cheek.

"Hee-hee, little Rongrong."

"I'm moving in with you from now on. What do you think? Are you happy?"
