You Have to Drill the Ground Once in a While

Ye Yunyao? That's a nice name, it has a certain charm.

He raised his hand and tapped the door of the reception room twice with his knuckles, then pushed the door open and went inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Erlong looked up, and the moment her gaze fell upon Lin Hai's figure, the cheerful and carefree smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by deep affection.

Ye Yunyao looked at Lin Hai as he walked in, and subconsciously raised her slender hand to gently touch her smooth forehead. Then, she subtly rubbed her eyes with her fingertips.

Then, she quickly glanced at Liu Erlong beside her, whose behavior was clearly off, out of the corner of her eye, and a feeling of utter absurdity welled up in her heart.

My friend of many years is starting to evolve into one of those wealthy female women?

To be fair, the young man in front of me is indeed one in a million in appearance, and there is nothing to criticize about him.

She had been operating in Heaven Dou City for many years and had seen countless distinguished figures, but she had never seen anyone with such stunning looks and temperament.

But... isn't she a bit too young...?

Etc!

A thought flashed through Ye Yunyao's mind: Could this be Lin Hai, the one Yanyan mentioned who had a chance to help the Ye Family break the Martial Soul Curse? But he looks only a teenager!

"Yun Yao, come here, let me introduce you. This is Lin Hai, the man you're looking for." Liu Erlong said to Ye Yunyao with a hint of smugness in his voice.

"Lin Hai, this is Ye Yunyao, the current head of the Ye Family of the Nine Heart Begonia, and also my best friend. Didn't you mention to someone yesterday that you had a way to solve the problem of the Nine Heart Begonia's Martial Soul inheritance?"

Lin Hai and Ye Yunyao greeted each other, and then he responded:

"That is indeed true, but there is only a high chance, and success cannot be guaranteed. Also, Ye Family, why did you come alone today? Where are Yanyan and Miss Ling Ling?"

"They're still at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I originally planned to come here first to find out the specifics. From what you're saying, is it possible to try to resolve this today? If Ling Ling needs to be present, I'll set off immediately to pick her up." Ye Yunyao maintained a calm demeanor, but felt somewhat embarrassed inside.

You can't exactly admit that you had doubts at first and came to test the waters, can you?

Lin Hai, with his keen intellect, quickly grasped the other party's previous considerations after a moment's thought, but he did not point it out, nor did he intend to hold it against them.

He took out a Bodhi Seed with a warm, lustrous color and a flowing sheen, and explained:

"This item is called Bodhi Seed, which can help plant Martial Soul Evolution. However, the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia originates from the Plane Rules of the Douluo Continent. To completely break it, an independent space needs to be created to break free from the constraints of the continent's rules. The whole process may take quite a while."

After Lin Hai took out the Bodhi Seed, Ye Yunyao no longer had any doubts.

Because she felt the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul within her body throbbing violently, almost bursting out of her body on its own, conveying an unprecedented desire!

Although she didn't understand concepts like "rule constraints" and "creating space," there was one thing she was absolutely certain of—

The Bodhi Seed before her was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity she and the entire Ye Family had ever had!

"I understand!" Ye Yunyao suppressed her excitement and bowed slightly to Lin Hai. Her voice even trembled slightly because of her overwhelming emotions.

"I immediately returned to my family to make some arrangements, and then brought Ling Ling with me."

She turned to look at Liu Erlong and saw her friend nodding vigorously at her, his eyes full of encouragement and blessings. Without saying anything more, she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Liu Erlong watched his friend's retreating figure, genuinely happy for her, his heart softening, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

'Since Lin Hai appeared, it seems that everything is turning for the better...'

That afternoon, Ye Yunyao rushed to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to request a two-month leave for Ye Lingling, and then brought her daughter to the Shrek Academy.

Dugu Yan briefly forgot what love was, and fearing that Lin Hai would seize the opportunity to harm her, she didn't dare to come along and stayed in the dormitory to silently lick her wounds.

At the Shrek Academy, after Ye Yunyao and her daughter consumed the Bodhi Seed, Lin Hai reached out and gently placed his hand on their shoulders, saying solemnly, "Relax and don't resist!"

The next moment, accompanied by a barely perceptible spatial fluctuation, the figures of the mother and daughter vanished without a trace.

Liu Erlong, who had been watching closely, immediately stepped forward, circled the spot where the two had just stood, and asked with a look of surprise, "Where are they? They... went inside?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Lin Hai patiently explained, "We need to take them to another space for refinement, so that they can temporarily escape the constraints of the Douluo Continent's rules..."

Liu Erlong blinked her big eyes, a hint of confusion on her face:

"I thought... you'd lead them to 'burrow underground' like you did in Sunset Forest a few years ago..."

Lin Hai couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. He reached out and put his arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist, his large hand lightly stroking her pert buttocks as he chuckled mischievously:

"Drilling underground? Hmm... that's a good suggestion. We really should 'drill underground' properly, otherwise the land will become barren if it's not cultivated for a long time!"

A blush instantly rose on Liu Erlong's pretty face. This bastard is spouting such nonsense!

But she wasn't one to give up easily. She immediately took a step closer, grabbing Lin Hai by the collar, her eyes blazing with fury.

"I'm not easily intimidated! Come on!"

Lin Hai's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. He absolutely loved Er Long's unexpected charm. "Great! Come on!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them flashed back to Liu Erlong's cozy little house.

As the saying goes—

The Old Bodhi Tree who works as a laborer helps people digest food by focusing his energy on the lower abdomen, giving his all.

capitalist Lin Hai devoted himself to his sexual pursuits until his death.

A few days...

Several days later, Yu Xiaogang, weary from his journey, finally arrived at the Shrek Academy.

Logically speaking, even the slow horses commonly used in the Douluo Continent shouldn't be this slow. The reason he was delayed for so long was because in a city more than a hundred miles away from Heaven Dou City, he unexpectedly encountered Tang Hao, who was searching for medical treatment everywhere!

It was then that he learned that his former idol had suffered such severe injuries in that earth-shattering battle.

According to the only healing-type Soul Saint in the city, a trace of destructive power still lingers on the old wounds in Tang Hao's internal organs, preventing the wounds from healing completely.

Although nothing was explicitly stated, the implication was crystal clear.

This injury will be fine at noon, but it'll be serious sooner or later!

He also suggested that Tang Hao go to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible to find the current head of the Ye Family, as they might still be able to salvage a chance of survival.

During the last hundred miles or so, the atmosphere between the two was quite heavy, and Tang Hao's words even carried a hint of entrusting his son to someone else.

The gist of the conversation was—

"If anything happens to me, Tang Hao, my Xiao San will be yours to handle. Beat her if you want, scold her if you want, just treat her like your own son..."

"Don't worry, Brother Hao Xiao San. That kid once said, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' I wasn't being polite with you anyway..."

Only when Heaven Dou City came into view did the two part ways.
