Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling

"Glazed tile turns from Seven Treasures, Seven Treasures Famous: first, Speed!"

A streak of light entered Ma Xiaotao's body, boosting her speed by 20%. With swift reflexes, she dodged the attack.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

The girl in white was slightly surprised.

She had not expected someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to be in this team.

"Sister Xiao Tao, catch!"

A Level One Soul Tool spear appeared in Xu Hanfeng's hand, and he threw it toward Ma Xiaotao.

Ma Xiaotao caught it and began fighting the Gray Mane Wild Beast.

Xu Hanfeng supported her from the side. He was still too young; compared to the Gray Mane Wild Beast, his build was utterly insignificant.

Although it was Ma Xiaotao and Xu Hanfeng's first time working together, their coordination was exceptionally good.

Ma Xiaotao flicked her spear, deflecting the Gray Mane Wild Beast's attack. Xu Hanfeng then brought his blade down hard, carving a wound into the beast's body.

Blood trickled steadily from the wound.

Roar—

The pain enraged the Gray Mane Wild Beast, and it forcefully knocked Xu Hanfeng and Ma Xiaotao back.

Then it stomped down fiercely, triggering a small-scale earthquake.

The ground shook, and Xu Hanfeng and Ma Xiaotao could not keep their footing at all.

At that moment, two Blue Silver Grass vines sent them into the air.

Seeing this, Xu Hanfeng threw out the Dark Demonic Sword, but the Gray Mane Wild Beast slapped it aside with one paw.

Rat-a-tat—

The next instant, the two Level One pistol Soul Tools in Xu Hanfeng's hands fired.

Countless Soul Power bullets shot out, blasting numerous bloody holes into the Gray Mane Wild Beast.

The Gray Mane Wild Beast's defense had originally been quite strong, since its fur was so thick. But after Ma Xiaotao burned it, not much was left.

"So strong!"

The girl in white muttered.

The Gray Mane Wild Beast still wanted to attack, but Tang Ya's thick Blue Silver Grass sent it flying.

The girl in white was dumbfounded. It was not as if she had never seen Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters before. Being able to bind a Soul Master of the same realm was already impressive.

Yet this sister had actually smashed a soul beast away with it. That was terrifying.

"First Soul Skill—Phoenix Fire Line!"

Ma Xiaotao used her first Soul Skill again, spewing out a stream of flame that ignited the Gray Mane Wild Beast.

The burning pain made the Gray Mane Wild Beast howl and roar, deafeningly loud.

Fear appeared in the Gray Mane Wild Beast's eyes. It turned to flee.

"You still want to run!"

A dark golden palm descended from the sky and seized it.

"Roar—!!"

The Gray Mane Wild Beast struggled relentlessly, but Giant's Grasp was quite sturdy.

"Die!"

Ma Xiaotao threw her spear, then kicked off again. Accelerated by two layers of force, the spear suddenly pierced through the Gray Mane Wild Beast's skull.

Blood sprayed out.

It fell!

"Whew..."

Xu Hanfeng let out a breath. This was his first serious fight against a soul beast.

This soul beast could have taken on two or three Soul Grand Masters.

If there had been more people and more methods involved, it really would have been difficult to deal with.

After killing the Gray Mane Wild Beast, everyone surrounded the girl in white.

Xu Hanfeng and the others did not look pleased.

They had been preparing to leave, yet this girl had led the soul beast here and caused this battle.

"I'm sorry!" The girl in white immediately bowed in apology.

This left Xu Hanfeng and the others looking at one another.

They blinked as though communicating silently.

Xu Hanfeng: (σ???)σ

Tang Ya: What do we do? She apologized. Are we still going to hang her up and beat her?

Ma Xiaotao: Beat her. We're already here.

Ning Tian: I'll listen to Little Master.

Xu Hanfeng: Wait for my command.

"Who are you?" Xu Hanfeng crossed his arms, putting on the air of an adult.

The girl's mouth twitched, but she still answered seriously. "My name is Ye Lingling. I'm from the Ye Family in Heaven Dou City. I came here to obtain my second soul ring."

"Ye Lingling! Nine Heart Begonia?" Xu Hanfeng was suddenly startled.

"Uh... you know me?" Ye Lingling was somewhat surprised. Though the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family was quite famous, she herself was not.

Xu Hanfeng was delighted. He had not expected to run into Ye Lingling. His luck was pretty good.

If Ye Lingling's talent were a little better, she might become the continent's strongest Healing System Soul Master.

Upon hearing Xu Hanfeng's words, Ma Xiaotao and the others narrowed their eyes and began communicating telepathically.

Ma Xiaotao: See? Little Master isn't being good. He already has us, yet he's starting to look for little girls again. I don't know what's so great about her. She has no figure at all; she's nowhere near me.

Tang Ya silently lowered her head, letting out a sigh of relief as she patted her chest. Hers might not be big, but they were enough.

Ning Tian felt like crying.

Although Ma Xiaotao said that.

Ye Lingling was definitely not ugly. Her figure still had room to develop, and she was still young.

Ye Lingling's figure was slender and delicate.

Her simple yet exquisite white dress made her look even more like a blooming white lotus.

Pure and holy.

Her blue hair cascaded down over her shoulders like a waterfall.

Her eyes were large and bright, filled with a lively spirit.

Her long eyelashes curled slightly upward, lending her a touch more softness and sweetness.

Ye Lingling's features were exquisite. Her nose was high and straight, and her pale pink lips, when lightly pursed, gave her a surprisingly playful air.

"I know you, but that isn't important. Why were you being chased by that Gray Mane Wild Beast?"

Xu Hanfeng asked curiously.

Though the Ye Family was not powerful, as the Nine Heart Begonia clan, they had the support of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. There were surely Soul Saints and Spirit Douluos within the family.

"Uncle Ye... led a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast away. When I escaped, I was targeted." Ye Lingling's voice was cool and clear, yet exceptionally pleasant to hear.

"Your Ye Family only sent one person to bring you here to obtain a soul ring?" Xu Hanfeng was dumbfounded. Weren't you the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul?

Ye Lingling brushed back her hair, looking a little embarrassed as she pursed her red lips. "I came out on my own without telling my mother. We had an argument."

"Your mother is truly lucky to have you..."

Xu Hanfeng did not know what to say. One argument, and she had nearly gotten herself killed.

A little rebellious.

"Enough... let's not talk about that. Tell me, how are we settling this matter with the soul beast?"

Xu Hanfeng planted his hands on his hips, looking indignant.

"Uh... how about I give you some money?" Ye Lingling felt deeply guilty.

Having witnessed lives fade away since childhood, Ye Lingling deeply respected life... Things had just been too urgent earlier.

"Money! Can money buy our lives?" Xu Hanfeng shouted righteously.

"Then... what do you want?" Ye Lingling's voice grew softer and softer, as though Xu Hanfeng had her completely suppressed.

Xu Hanfeng looked Ye Lingling up and down.

Ye Lingling took a step back and crossed her arms over her chest. "You can't."

Xu Hanfeng was utterly confused. "Sister, have you ever had your head checked? How old am I?"

Hearing that, Ye Lingling's cool face reddened, and she turned away.

She had indeed misunderstood.

After all, such things happened quite often in Heaven Dou City.

Ma Xiaotao and the other two could not help but laugh behind them.

"Alright, Xiao Feng..."

Tang Ya walked over to Xu Hanfeng.

"We're going to Heaven Dou City, but we haven't found a place to stay yet."

"Stay at my house!" Ye Lingling blurted out.

Everyone looked at her.

"My home is large. It's an estate."
