Ling Ling, Why Not Make Him Marry You?

"I didn't do anything! This was his own problem!"

Seeing Ji Wuming's current condition, Dugu Yan felt a lingering fear as well. She had only wanted to make a small move to drive them away. She had never intended to hurt anyone, much less kill someone.

Ye Lingling, who stood not far behind them, hurried forward and helped Ji Wuming up from the ground, taking his pulse.

"Two of the meridians in his body were ruptured by extremely violent Soul Power. No wonder he vomited blood and ended up like this."

"Ling Ling, judging by the Soul Power he's giving off, he's a Soul Master. Maybe he offended someone and got beaten into this state. We shouldn't bother with such minor injuries!"

Dugu Yan knew a little about medicine, and no matter how she looked at the man before them, he seemed like a complete fraud.

Ye Lingling looked at Ji Wuming with sympathy and concern in her eyes.

"Sister Yan, regardless of whether he's a fraud or whether he offended someone, saving lives is a healer's duty. Since I've seen him, how could I possibly leave him to die?"

"Fine. If he really is a fraud, then once he's healed, we'll make him guard the Ye Family Medical Hall for the rest of his life!"

Though Dugu Yan still found Ji Wuming suspicious, she helped Ye Lingling support him as they headed toward the Ye Family Medical Hall.

Meanwhile, Ji Wuming, supported by the two women, was feeling immensely satisfied. Every so often, he caught two exceptionally soft, fragrant scents that left him refreshed and delighted.

Before long, the two women brought him to the Ye Family Medical Hall.

"Mom, this Soul Master has suffered internal injuries. Please save him!"

Ye Wuyi looked at Ji Wuming, who was being carried by the two girls, and immediately saw that he had internal injuries. They were not too serious, but even after treatment, he would need ten days to half a month to recover.

Ye Wuyi directly used her Fifth Soul Skill. The two meridians Ji Wuming had destroyed himself were restored. After sending the two girls away, Ye Wuyi asked pointedly,

"Child, I've healed your meridians. As long as you take the medicine according to the prescription, you'll make a full recovery within five days. But your injuries may be healed—what is your real purpose?"

While treating Ji Wuming's damaged meridians, she had found it very strange. The force that had caused the damage was remarkably similar to the Soul Power within his body. Even though he had used special means to alter the outcome of his meridian damage,

as a healer, if she could not distinguish even such subtle differences, then she would not deserve to be an inheritor of the Nine Star Begonia. Thus, she felt that Ji Wuming's intentions were anything but simple.

"What other purpose could I have? My Martial Soul has a serious flaw. Whenever the bloodlust within it becomes uncontrollable, my consciousness briefly disappears, and I become a madman who harms others without restraint!"

Ji Wuming spoke with utter sincerity. In truth, his Blood Thunder Battle Spear did indeed have such a flaw. However, his devouring ability was based on blood sacrifice, allowing him to keep his Martial Soul under control and avoid suffering backlash from it or becoming a butcher who knew only slaughter.

Furthermore, the External Soul Bone in his head had greatly enhanced his spiritual power, which was why this bloodthirsty flaw had completely disappeared.

If not for that, with Ji Wuming constantly devouring the blood of living creatures, he would likely have long since fallen into becoming an evil Soul Master willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

Seeing that Ye Wuyi still did not believe him, Ji Wuming immediately summoned his Blood Thunder Battle Spear. At the sight of the crimson spear, which reeked of blood, even Ye Wuyi, who had been a physician for over twenty years, felt nauseated. At the same time, she deeply sympathized with Ji Wuming.

This child still had his humanity. He would hurt himself but not others. Though his Martial Soul was powerful, he still held fast to his heart. That was admirable.

"Child, I was wrong just now. How could I misunderstand a child whose bone age is only thirteen?"

Before Ji Wuming could speak, an aged male voice rang out, filled with fury.

"Where's that kid? How dare he try to scam my granddaughter?"

When Dugu Bo saw Ji Wuming, especially the Blood Thunder Battle Spear in his hand, he grew even more enraged.

"You dare attack a junior of the Ye Family at the Ye Family Medical Hall? You're courting death!"

The pressure of a Titled Douluo bore down on Ji Wuming so fiercely that he could barely breathe. Unlike Ye Wuyi, Dugu Bo had spent years in the world of Soul Masters and possessed an extremely keen awareness of outside affairs.

After returning from the Herb Garden to Heaven Dou City, he had rushed to the Ye Family Medical Hall, fearing that Ji Wuming might harm Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"Your Excellency, he is a pitiful child. Though his actions were somewhat abrupt, he bears no ill intent!"

At Ye Wuyi's plea, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had been eavesdropping outside, entered as well and spoke in Ji Wuming's defense. Only then did Dugu Bo withdraw his Soul Power and say mercilessly,

"Kid, don't ever behave like that again. Otherwise, I'll make you beg for life and be denied death."

"Thank you, His Excellency Dugu, for sparing my life!"

Faced with the killing intent of a Titled Douluo, Ji Wuming felt a deep fear for the first time in six years. He should have been more cautious before. Still, his goal of successfully getting acquainted with Dugu Bo as an insignificant nobody had been achieved.

Moreover, he, the Ye Family, and the Dugu Family could now be said to share the same plight. All of them had so-called Martial Soul flaws, which would make it even easier to strengthen their relationship.

"Ling Ling, you two go outside first. I have important matters to discuss with His Excellency!"

"Alright, Yanyan, let's go!"

Ye Lingling took Dugu Yan's hand and walked outside. Ji Wuming obediently followed behind them, since matters discussed between two important figures were not something he could listen in on.

As he walked, Ji Wuming pondered how he should bring up the Immortal Herbs to Dugu Bo and make him willingly take him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He certainly could not just walk up and tell him that his Martial Soul was poisonous and would bring disaster upon himself and his descendants!

One careless move, and he would be blasted apart without even ashes left behind.

Could it be that if I return empty-handed today, my only option will be to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, get closer to Dugu Yan, and then find an opportunity to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

At that moment, the two women walking ahead were whispering to each other, nearly forgetting that there was a man behind them. Ye Lingling teased,

"Yanyan, Yu Tianheng has been pursuing you for almost a year now. You're not getting any younger either."

Ye Lingling deliberately looked Dugu Yan up and down.

"Why not accept his pursuit? In a few years, I can be your child's aunt. I rather like chubby little children."

"You're asking for death! Why don't you find someone for yourself? How dare you push such corrupt thoughts onto me?"

Seeing that Dugu Yan was clearly embarrassed, Ye Lingling continued her assault.

"Isn't that so? Look, you're blushing already. Better sooner than later—hurry up and get married so I won't have to worry about you."

Since Ye Lingling kept teasing her about this, Dugu Yan did not know how to retort. But when she turned around and saw Ji Wuming behind them, she said to Ye Lingling,

"You did save his life, after all. If you like children, why don't you two make a pair? I think he's rather handsome, and you're a little rich girl. Making him marry you would be no problem at all. As for me, I could count as half your matchmaker."

"Go die..."

Ye Lingling pushed Dugu Yan, but Dugu Yan unexpectedly became unsteady and leaned against the wall. Green spots appeared on her hands, and her lips had taken on a faint green tint.

"Yanyan, wait here. I'll go get Mom right away."

As Dugu Yan's best friend, Ye Lingling naturally knew about her condition. These were signs of poisoning.
