Healing the Ye Family Head! Subduing the Ye Family
"..."
"Miss Ye, Sister Yanyan, let's go check on the old man first."
Seeing the rather strange situation, Tang Wulin was momentarily stunned before speaking.
Ye Lingling is a frank girl; she doesn't spout any rhetoric about being reborn as a slave in the next life, but it's too early to talk about such things.
"Um!"
"Your Highness is right!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan both agreed. The most urgent task now was to see if they could cure the old man's missing life energy.
"Your Highness, Yan Yan."
"You all come with me."
Soon, as Ye Lingling led the two through the courtyard and into a spacious courtyard, an elderly man, who was already in his seventies, appeared before them.
The other person is currently sitting in a recliner, eyes closed, basking in the sunlight—a seemingly heartwarming scene. However, a closer look reveals...
The elderly person, who appeared to be in relatively good health, exuded an unusually weak aura, indicating that their life energy was far from abundant.
She was none other than Ye Lianci, the head of the Ye Family, Ye Lingling's grandmother, and a level 79 Support System Tool Soul Saint.
She is known as the Immortal in the Soul Master World because, unless she is killed in one blow by Titled Douluo, she can snatch her life back from the brink of death no matter how serious her injuries are.
"This state..."
Does the elderly person have any hidden ailments?
A moment of surprise flashed across Tang Wulin's face, and he immediately looked at Ye Lingling beside him, asking softly.
"No."
"Since Grandma became Soul Ancestor, she has helped an exceptionally large number of powerful Soul Masters in the Soul Master World, including many Soul Saints and even Soul Douluos..."
"Never provoked any powerful forces."
A hint of melancholy flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. She shook her head and uttered words of unspeakable sorrow.
"..."
Tang Wulin nodded, but the shock in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
It's hard to imagine that a Soul Saint has reached level 79, especially one with the life attribute...
How could one's own life state be so weak!
Could this truly be a curse of the Nine Heart Begonia clan?
"Lingling, you're here."
Seemingly sensing their arrival, Ye Lianci opened her eyes, her aged eyes instantly looking at Ye Lingling and the others.
"Is that Yan Yan next to you? And this young master is...?"
Soon, upon seeing Tang Wulin's figure, even this senior figure with a good reputation in the Soul Master World paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Although she was not in good physical condition, she could tell at a glance that the other party had a cultivation level of level 50.
The youths of Heaven Dou City are all utter good-for-nothings; when will they ever have such a top-tier genius?
"Grandma, this is His Tang His Highness Wulin, also the current Spirit Hall Holy Son..."
Ye Lingling stepped forward and quickly began to explain.
"My name is Tang Wulin. I greet Senior Ye."
Tang Wulin smiled amicably.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lianci suddenly realized what was going on.
When the Spirit Hall Holy Son was established, all the powerful figures in the world with names and surnames went to Spirit City, and she was one of them, as she was in good condition at the time.
He was already a Soul Elder at the age of ten, and now he's even more terrifying than before!
No wonder he's at the peak of the Soul Ancestor at such a young age; besides him, there's probably no one else like him in the world...
"This old woman greets Your Highness."
As she pondered this, a friendly smile appeared on her aged face, and she immediately prepared to get up.
"Grandmother."
"Grandma Ye."
Seeing this, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward to help the other person up, their faces showing concern.
"Senior, you should rest. Your health isn't exactly great right now..."
Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin also stepped forward with the two women and quickly spoke up.
Although it may be a bit impolite to think this way, judging from the current state of mind of the person in front of me, I'm afraid they might not even be able to last five years.
No wonder the Ye Family was virtually unknown in the original novel.
Aside from this top-tier Soul Saint who can be considered respectable, there is only Ye Lingling, whose cultivation has reached the Soul Ancestor. Naturally, she is not enough to uphold the reputation of the number one healing family in the world.
Just as the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor ceased to exist after Dugu Bo's death, a family without powerful members is destined to perish.
"Your Highness, please excuse my poor appearance."
"Like several former members of my family, my cultivation level has never reached the Soul Douluo level. Indeed, I don't have much time left..."
Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Ye Lianci's smile turned bitter. She slowly sat down on the spot and sighed.
"I'm afraid..."
"Even the day when Lingling takes over the Ye Family's reputation, we might not live to see it."
"Grandma, absolutely not!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling, who was standing next to her, already had tears in her eyes. She gently grasped the other person's wrist and quickly shook her head.
"There's still hope! There's still hope for us!"
"His Highness said that the Spirit Hall must have a way to treat you, and even His Highness has the ability to heal..."
Her gaze suddenly turned towards Tang Wulin, as if she had seen his last savior, her face filled with anticipation.
Is this really true?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lianci was indeed taken aback, her gaze returning to Tang Wulin's direction, a glint of light in her eyes.
The Spirit Hall is a powerful and influential family, and perhaps they truly have the ability to help her or her entire family, but how could she accept their kindness for no reason...?
Surrender?
The thought flashed through Ye Lianci's mind, and she couldn't help but be moved.
The Spirit Hall is renowned throughout the continent for its strength, especially in recent years. Joining the Spirit Hall would undoubtedly be a boon to the Ye Family, whose current situation is not particularly good. However...
She's already a skeleton in the well; will the Spirit Hall accept her?
"Miss Ye is right, Senior Ye. I do indeed have some achievements in healing, and perhaps I can offer you a cure."
Tang Wulin nodded, and as he spoke, the rich energy within his body erupted once more, and a ball of Soul Power that had already reached the ultimate level of life instantly appeared in his hand.
"This..."
"Such abundant vitality!"
Feeling this sudden surge of energy, Ye Lianci was taken aback. As a life-type Soul Master, she was most able to sense the vigor of this life force.
In her right hand, even her own Martial Soul was uncontrollably drawn out, and a unique begonia flower shimmering with pale blue light appeared in an instant.
The world's number one healing-type Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia!
But at this moment, even this Martial Soul, which had reached level 79, was incomparable to the energy in Tang Wulin's hand.
"Your Highness, you..."
Ye Lianci's eyes widened, and she hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She really wanted to ask if the other person's Martial Soul wasn't from a top-tier dragon clan, Golden Dragon Martial Soul?
Having strong qi and blood is certainly not a problem, but it has absolutely nothing to do with life!
Could it be that the other party is still...?
"Senior Ye, please don't move."
"I'll give it a try."
Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more. As he spoke, he also quickly began to utilize the divine life force within his body.
In just a moment, powerful life energy enveloped the old man before them, and life force surged into his body, cleansing his already frail and weak physique.
"This--"
Ye Lianci's eyes were full of surprise. Without the slightest hesitation, as her Martial Soul Possession, she emptied her mind and wholeheartedly felt the infusion of this energy.
"What a warm feeling!"
Not only Ye Lianci herself, but also Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were standing nearby, felt this powerful life energy and their eyes lit up.
"..."
Ye Lianci, who was truly experiencing this energy, felt her eyes brighten considerably, and the numerous wrinkles on her face lessened somewhat.
Most importantly, her life force, which had been waning like an oil lamp, seemed to be rekindled at this moment, and her lifespan, which was originally expected to end in five years, was extended by at least thirty years!
It wasn't just the boost to her vitality; she could also feel that the cultivation bottleneck within her body, which had remained stagnant for years, was broken at this moment.
Soul Douluo seemed to have no hope for the rest of his life!
Grandma, you...
The moment her cultivation level increased, Ye Lingling's eyes widened in shock. Her grandmother had actually broken through!
Does this mean he's about to break through to the Soul Douluo level?!
"It seems to be having an effect on the senior..."
"The results are much better than I expected."
Slowly, Tang Wulin withdrew his God-Level Life Force. Looking at the old man before him, whose condition had improved considerably and who appeared twenty years younger, he couldn't help but sigh.
The God-Level Life Force truly lives up to its name!
It not only greatly restored the life force of the person before him, but also helped them break through their internal bottlenecks, all it took was a suitable Eighth Soul Ring...
The world will soon have one more Soul Douluo.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness today..."
I will never forget it!
At this moment, Ye Lianci stood up easily, her gaze falling on the young man in front of her, and she spoke respectfully.
She couldn't even imagine the immense kindness this was receiving.
"If Your Highness does not mind, my Ye Family is willing to join the Spirit Hall and serve Your Highness and the Spirit Hall with utmost loyalty."
Ye Lianci looked up at the young man in front of her and said directly.
The fact that His Highness personally came to the Ye Family was already a great honor, not to mention the immense help he had given her— the Spirit Hall...
Even if her Ye Family isn't qualified, she should still try.
As for the Heaven Dou Empire, she had long since had enough of it.
The royal family is incompetent, and the younger generation is devoid of talent; only Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is capable of shouldering this great responsibility.
"Since you are so kind, senior, then this junior..."
"Welcome to the Ye Family as part of the Spirit Hall family."
Tang Wulin had a smile on his face.
That's exactly what he was thinking.
"If you wish to obtain your Eighth Soul Ring, you can accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest in a few days. I also intend to hunt for my Fifth Soul Ring."
The next moment, he smiled and said that since Senior Ye was so proper, he naturally couldn't be sloppy either, since he wouldn't be the only one going to hunt Soul Beasts.
"..."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Ye Lianci's eyes lit up. She had just been thinking about obtaining her Eighth Soul Ring, and she hadn't expected that His Highness had also considered this for her.
With a powerful figure from the Spirit Hall involved—at least Titled Douluo level expert—she could practically win without lifting a finger!
Golden Crocodile Douluo: "..."
When will someone finally speak up for me?!
