Meng Yiran, the Greatest Victim

Liu Erlong's face immediately showed astonishment. "Two thousand years? Has he gone mad?!"

There are quite a few examples of students at the Shrek Academy absorbing Soul Ring beyond their level, including her own Eighth Soul Ring.

Without exception, they were all the result of taking the Elixir Pill provided by Lin Hai, which greatly enhanced their physical condition and Spiritual Power.

Moreover, they obtain Soul Ring by refining "Spirit Ring Pill," absorbing as many as they can without any risk whatsoever.

But where did Dragon Duke get the confidence to let his granddaughter absorb a third Soul Ring that was over two thousand years old at the Soul Elder level? And from such an extremely violent Soul Beast as the Man Faced Demon Spider?

Although the Spirit Hall had already announced the true effects of Whale Rubber, before the announcement, they had almost cleared out all Whale Rubber circulating in the market and placed long-term orders with many Sea Spirit Master forces.

This resulted in Whale Rubber becoming extremely rare on the market, with high-aged Whale Rubber basically only obtainable through auctions at major auction houses.

She didn't believe Meng Yiran would have enough Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Jelly to strengthen her body and support her absorption of the two-thousand-year- Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring at the Soul Elder realm.

Ye Yunyao shook her head. "He didn't do it on purpose, he just misjudged the age of that Man Faced Demon Spider."

"In fact, many Soul Master families lack a systematic theoretical inheritance, and their methods for judging the age of Soul Beast are often full of errors."

Liu Erlong shook his head with a strange expression and pressed on, "What happened to his granddaughter in the end?"

Ye Yunyao sighed, "My meridians are severed, my Soul Power is completely destroyed, and all my internal organs have been severely damaged!"

Liu Erlong frowned. "Even if it's absorption beyond one's level, if something goes wrong during the process, couldn't the couple have forcibly interrupted it? Why did it have to be this serious?"

"It is said that on that night, the Titan Giant Ape, the overlord of the Core Zone Star Dou Great Forest, appeared in the outer area for some reason, triggering a large-scale Beast Tide!" Ye Yunyao said, feeling that Meng Yiran too unlucky.

"The couple were so focused on guarding against the riot of Soul Beast on the periphery that they were afraid their granddaughter would be disturbed, and in doing so, they neglected Meng Yiran herself!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was at a loss for words and could only sigh, "This child... has such bad luck."

Ye Yunyao nodded in deep agreement. "After the incident, Snake Dowager immediately found Treatment Spirit Master to keep her granddaughter alive, while Dragon Duke rushed to Heaven Dou City to ask me for help."

"We traveled day and night, and it took us two days to reach the Balak Kingdom. By then, the little girl was already on the verge of death."

"Although I managed to save him and keep him alive, his cultivation was completely destroyed, and he will never be able to cultivate again for the rest of his life."

"Later, when the Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch heard that I had broken through to the Soul Douluo realm, they came to see me again with their granddaughter..."

Ye Yunyao shook her head again, her tone filled with regret. "But I really can't do anything about it."

"Given her condition, a complete recovery would be nearly as difficult as limb regeneration. Even with my evolved Martial Soul Evolution and the Soul Douluo level, I still cannot cure her."

Liu Erlong seemed to be deep in thought, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, and asked, "What does that girl look like?"

"Appearance?" Ye Yunyao was slightly surprised, not understanding why Liu Erlong suddenly asked this.

She thought about it carefully before speaking, "I would say she's quite outstanding, but her style is particularly unconventional."

"The smoky makeup was a bit heavy, she had short hair, and tattoos. As for her clothes... well, she was wearing a Fish Scale Armor, and she looked a bit like the non-... non-mainstream type that Lin Hai had mentioned before!"

She paused, then asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Liu Erlong sighed, his tone somewhat complicated. "I'm thinking, Lin Hai might have a way to deal with her injuries."

"Lin Hai has a way? Isn't he Battle Spirit Master?!" Ye Yunyao almost cried out in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

It's really not fair to blame her for losing her composure.

It's worth noting that even before her Martial Soul evolved and her Soul Power remained at the Soul Saint stage, she was already recognized throughout the continent as the "Number One Treatment Spirit Master," let alone now.

Even she was helpless against the injury, yet Liu Erlong said that Lin Hai had a solution. How could she not be shocked?

Liu Erlong shook his head. "I'm not sure, maybe."

Of course, she wouldn't tell Ye Yunyao that this was a conclusion she reached after having many "fun times" with Lin Hai.

Lin Hai always had a knack for making her unable to cope for a moment, yet he would be lively and energetic again a few breaths later.

Compared to the results of Ye Yunyao's treatment back then, Lin Hai's methods were clearly much more ruthless.

Ye Yunyao took some time to process this information, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, but she was still puzzled. "But what does this have to do with Meng Yiran's appearance?"

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at her, her tone dripping with sarcasm:

"You know perfectly well that guy attracts a lot of attention whenever he goes out. In the past two years, there have been girls hanging around the academy gate every few days, and even the fruit vendors have increased!"

"He's like this even walking down the street. If he really heals this injury, it'll be no less than Life-Saving Grace. Won't that little girl be clinging to him then?!"

"Pfft—Hahaha—"

Ye Yunyao was so amused by Liu Erlong's appearance that she laughed so hard she almost fell over, and it took her a while to catch her breath.

"Er Long, Er Long, I never expected you to have this side to you."

"But then again, you can't stop something like this even if you want to, right?"

Liu Erlong snorted and glanced at her, "Don't forget, Lin Hai also has a share from your Ling Ling!"

Ye Yunyao laughed nonchalantly, "As long as he is truly good to my daughter, I don't care about anything else. You know Ling Ling's personality; she's far removed from things like jealousy and rivalry."

"You probably don't know, but the day after she got together with Lin Hai, she took the initiative to go to Dugu Yan to confess and apologize. For a long time afterward, didn't she avoid you like a mouse seeing a cat?"

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness. "My daughter is just not cut out to be First Wife."

Liu Erlong curled his lips into a playful smile and teased, "What? Judging from your tone, you didn't actually plan to make me call Ling Ling' sister' back then, did you?"

Ye Yunyao's face flushed, and she lightly slapped her, scolding, "Stop talking nonsense! We're talking about serious matters!"

She then became serious. "The Spirit Master Competition is about to begin. Although Lin Hai will not participate, he will definitely make an appearance in public."

"How do you prevent countless young girls from becoming infatuated with you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong pulled Ye Yunyao into his arms, lightly lifting her chin with his fingers, his eyes mischievous:

"In my opinion, you're probably the first one to be captivated."

Before Ye Yunyao could react, Liu Erlong leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Let's go together, anyway... I don't mind."

"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!" Ye Yunyao's cheeks flushed red, and she started to hit her.

The two laughed and joked for a while before Liu Erlong finally stopped and straightened his slightly disheveled clothes.

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around."

"You should go see Dragon Duke first. He is Soul Douluo after all, it's not appropriate to keep him waiting too long."

Ye Yunyao chuckled softly, her tone resolute. "Don't worry, if Lin Hai can really cure his granddaughter, he would be absolutely willing to wait three more days and three nights."
