Second Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia

Afterward.

"You... you slashed me?!"

A mist of tears welled up in Ye Lingling's large eyes as she looked pitifully at the cold-faced Fang Xuan beside her, seeming somewhat at a loss.

"Mm, I slashed you."

Fang Xuan remained perfectly calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Huff... huff..."

The silver-haired little girl stomped angrily up to Fang Xuan, glaring at him without blinking as she said aggrievedly, "You... how could you do that to me? I've never been treated so roughly before in my whole life..."

"It's already happened. Regret is useless, so please accept this cruel reality." Fang Xuan looked at Ye Lingling, who seemed to have lost her soul, then added, "Besides, I won't take responsibility."

I've already slashed you. What use are you now?

Why aren't you getting yourself together and leaving my house already!

Do you want me to throw you out?

Fang Xuan frowned. He really wanted to hoist this eyesore of a little girl onto his shoulder and toss her straight over the wall.

"Stare..."

Ye Lingling puffed out her cheeks and sat down in front of Fang Xuan. She said nothing, merely staring at him in silent complaint.

Tch!

Fang Xuan closed his eyes and ignored Ye Lingling's glare. Instead, he focused his mind and carefully examined the gains from this time.

[ Ding-dong~ ]

[ Congratulations, you have obtained the Nine Heart Begonia Soul! ]

[ New talent unlocked: Blade of Healing ]

The Nine Heart Begonia was a top-tier Support Type Martial Soul, known as Undying. This Martial Soul was passed down through a single bloodline, with only one inheritor in each generation.

If two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters were alive at the same time, then only after one of them died could another descendant possibly appear. It could be said to be exceedingly rare.

Although Ye Lingling had long since been ruthlessly abandoned by Third Young Master in the middle and later stages, and the Nine Heart Begonia was never mentioned again—like a shooting star that flashed across the story and vanished, never to be seen again—no one could ignore the Nine Heart Begonia's terrifying healing abilities!

In the later battle between the Imperial Dou Team and the Shrek Seven Devils, the Nine Heart Begonia, as the Imperial Dou Team's Support Soul Master, had posed an enormous threat to the Shrek Seven Devils. Its outstanding support abilities had even made Ning Rongrong, who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, feel ashamed.

But unfortunately, no one could defeat the Protagonist Halo, especially in Douluo, where the halo reigned supreme. (Tang San: Every woman I've fought fell in love with me, and every woman I couldn't defeat also fell in love with me.)

After that battle, the Nine Heart Begonia was completely buried among the masses and never mentioned again...

The Nine Heart Begonia excelled in only one ability. No matter how many Soul Rings it possessed, it had only one Soul Skill:—area-wide group healing!

Group healing!

In a team battle, this alone could play a pivotal role.

Moreover, the higher a Soul Master's level and the more Soul Rings they possessed, the better the healing effect!

The title Undying Nine-Heart Begonia was no empty claim. If a Soul Master with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul truly reached the rank of Titled Douluo, or even broke through to God-level, then bringing the dead back to life might no longer be a mere fantasy!

Fang Xuan was somewhat excited. The Nine Heart Begonia's potential for growth was even far greater than that of the Ice Phoenix.

After opening his personal information, the Nine Heart Begonia and Blade of Healing had automatically been added to the status panel. The beginner-level Nine Heart Begonia unlocked the talent Blade of Healing. Once the Nine Heart Begonia rose to a higher level, what miraculous effects would appear then?

Fang Xuan looked forward to it greatly.

The Martial Soul Copy had succeeded. Next, it was time to test the healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia.

But to see the healing effect, he would need to find a guinea pig...

He opened his eyes and saw Ye Lingling before him. A dangerous curve unconsciously formed at the corners of his lips.

"Uh... what, what are you trying to do?!"

Noticing Fang Xuan's ill-intentioned smile, the silver-haired little girl timidly shrank back. She felt that this bad guy was about to do something bad to her again.

"You're Ye Lingling, right? Hello, I'm Fang Xuan. I'm really sorry for suddenly slashing you just now." A gentle smile appeared on Fang Xuan's handsome face, bright as sunlight, as he sincerely apologized to Ye Lingling.

For some reason, when Ye Lingling saw that warm smile, like a spring breeze brushing against her face, it felt as though a little deer were crashing wildly about in her heart. Her cheeks burned, and even her breathing became somewhat hurried.

She did not dare look into Fang Xuan's eyes and could only say in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "It... it's okay. I don't think I was hurt anyway."

"So now, I'd like to slash you one more time. You should prepare yourself mentally in advance~"

?

Ye Lingling froze. The pleasant fantasy she had just formed about Fang Xuan instantly vanished without a trace. She said excitedly, "What?! You... you still want to slash me?!"

Fang Xuan considered himself gentlemanly enough.

Before slashing someone, he even gave the person being slashed a reminder. He was afraid that across the entire Douluo Continent, there was no second gentleman as considerate as him.

"No! I refuse! You're a bad person!"

The silver-haired little girl finally came to her senses and glared furiously at Fang Xuan. She had finally realized that she might have entered a wolf's den. The guy in front of her, although somewhat good-looking and coincidentally her savior, was a complete big bad wolf!

She reacted quickly. Sensing danger, she immediately ran toward the door as fast as she could, preparing to flee this terrifying wolf's den!

"Run? Where do you think you're running to? Do you think you can escape?!"

Fang Xuan watched the silver-haired little girl flee in a hurry, a textbook villain's smile appearing on his face.

"A Support Type Soul Master comes to my Territory and still wants to run? Hehe, little rabbit, surrender obediently!"

Soul Power surged through his body. Strength exploded from beneath his feet as he stomped hard against the ground, shooting forward like an arrow. In an instant, he caught up to Ye Lingling, who was trying to escape.

Ye Lingling's front foot had just crossed the threshold when Fang Xuan caught up from behind. Terrified, she instinctively cried out, "Ah~ Help!"

"Don't make a sound! Or I'll beat you..."

Fang Xuan covered Ye Lingling's little mouth with one hand and coldly scolded her. His movements were extremely rough as he forcibly dragged the desperately struggling little girl back into the house.

I've already slashed you once, so let me use you again, little tool!

As the door slowly closed, ambiguous words quietly rang out in the courtyard...

A question from the innocent author: Hmph, have your minds gone dirty again~
