Shy

After Ye Lingling approached, Bai Ying acted with lightning speed.

He gave her a quick peck, and Ye Lingling did not react at all.

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Spirit Evolution Pill. After consuming the Spirit Evolution Pill, your Martial Soul can undergo one qualitative evolution.

"This reward is pretty good."

It took Ye Lingling a long time to react before she suddenly shoved Bai Ying away.

"Holy Son, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to know what I was thinking? I can tell you now. I was thinking about you."

After being suddenly confessed to, Ye Lingling was completely stunned, and even her words became halting. "Thinking about me, Holy Son? Are you serious?"

"Of course I am. Sorry about just now. How did it feel?"

Bai Ying shamelessly said this.

"It felt pretty good." Ye Lingling blurted it out as if possessed, but when she realized what she had said, her face instantly turned bright red.

"Looks like you should try it again."

"I don't want to!"

"What's wrong? Are you blushing now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling immediately wanted to leave, but Bai Ying grabbed her hand. With a sudden tug, he pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the soft, warm body in his embrace, Bai Ying pressed almost his entire body against her.

"Lingling, you're truly beautiful."

"You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. I fell in love with you at first sight."

After being confessed to again, Ye Lingling looked at the handsome man before her and said, "So handsome."

"Lingling, you really have good taste. Would you like to become my woman in the future?"

"Your woman? But I heard you seem to be engaged."

"Don't worry. I'll definitely resolve this matter."

Ye Lingling had just wanted to speak when her delicate body suddenly trembled. Bai Ying had actually bitten her ear.

Just then, Ye Lingling suddenly pushed him away. She stood up, her face flushed, and said, "Holy Son, we'll talk about this later. I'll be going back first."

"All right, we'll talk about it later. You'll definitely become my woman in the future. I guarantee it."

"Oh, right. I have time tomorrow. Let's go out and stroll around together."

After hearing this, Ye Lingling shyly fled without daring to look back. Her escape looked extremely awkward.

"What a timid woman. But I like her."

Ye Lingling felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. When she returned home, she panted heavily, her face flushed as she recalled what had just happened, and her heart began to race.

Was I just kissed? Men really are all bad, but that feeling was truly wonderful.

Ye Jingxue emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron and said, "Lingling, where did you go? Why didn't I see you just now?"

"Mom, the Holy Son asked me to come over and discuss something, so you didn't see me."

"Oh, then it's fine. Come eat quickly!"

"I've already eaten. I'm going to rest first." With that, she closed the door.

"How strange. Why is she acting so strange today?"

At Dugu Bo's place, Bai Ying saw Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as soon as he arrived.

"How have you been, Senior Dugu?"

"Boy Bai, I've been very comfortable. The pain in my body is gone now, and I can feel that my poison has responded. You seem to have broken through again and are already close to the threshold of rank ninety-four."

"Then congratulations, Senior."

"No need to be so polite. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. You let me beat Ju Hua Guan up, and it truly helped me vent my anger. If he hadn't relied on his rank-ninety-five Soul Power to bully me back then, why would I have pledged allegiance to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"

"That's only natural. We're all family, so there's no need to be so polite. By the way, I came today because I want to form a team. Its name will be the Purgatory Seven Vassals."

"You want to cultivate people of your own, don't you?"

"That's right. Senior truly understands me. I must form my own team. This team of mine will win the championship of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament in the future. I'll make its name famous throughout the Spirit Hall and even across the entire continent."

"Good lad, you have ambition. Just let me know whenever you need this old man. I'll speak with your teacher."

"Then, could you let me speak with your granddaughter alone?"

"Of course. Yan Yan, go have a chat with him!"

Dugu Yan nodded, and the two of them walked aside.

"Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine now. Thank you."

"I can clearly feel that not only is my cultivation stronger than before, but my cultivation speed has also become much faster."

"That's only natural. Your Martial Soul is now the Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon, which is clearly different from your Jade Phosphorous Serpent. The two are on entirely different levels. As long as you work hard enough, becoming a Titled Douluo or even a Peerless Douluo in the future is practically guaranteed."

"By the way, I want to ask you something. Compared with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, do you think the Spirit Hall is better?"

"The Spirit Hall. At least there aren't any domineering scions of powerful clans bullying others here. Although most people are commoners, I feel that the atmosphere here is better."

As Dugu Yan spoke, she noticed that Bai Ying had been staring at her the entire time. She felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her voice gradually weakened.

"Holy Son, why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing. You're just so beautiful that I couldn't help myself. I was captivated by you."

"Am I really that beautiful?"

Dugu Yan asked somewhat uncertainly. She knew that she was a little prettier than ordinary people, but she certainly did not think she had reached the point of being breathtaking.

"Of course. In my eyes, you're the most beautiful. Oh, right, there's one more thing. At the Spirit Hall, don't call me Holy Son. Just call me Bai Ying, or Xiao Bai. Either is fine. Don't keep saying 'Holy Son, Holy Son' all the time. It makes me feel as if we're not close. I'm just an ordinary person, and there aren't that many rules in the Spirit Hall."

"All right, I understand, Bai Ying."

"I've said everything I needed to say. Now I have one small request. I happen to have time tomorrow. Would you like to go out with me?"

"Go shopping? All right, I'll definitely go tomorrow."

Dugu Bo had naturally heard Bai Ying's conversation as well. He could tell that Dugu Yan had a little interest in Bai Ying, so after Bai Ying left, he asked:

"Granddaughter, what do you think of Bai Ying?"

"He's great, and he's very handsome."

Dugu Yan said this with a flushed face.

Seeing his granddaughter's shyness, Dugu Bo said, "Granddaughter, I heard Golden Crocodile Douluo say that this boy has already received a divine trial. There's a very good chance he'll become a god in the future. I don't know whether it's true, but this boy's potential is absolutely terrifying. Why don't you try pursuing him?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
