Martial Soul Origin Deficiency

Standing beside her was a beautiful woman.

She looked very young, seemingly only around thirty. Her features were lovely, and her temperament was gentle.

She was tall and voluptuous, her perfectly rounded figure outlining the alluring curves unique to a mature woman.

She wore a moon-white cheongsam with a high slit that, as she stood quietly, faintly revealed a section of snow-white, delicate, round, and slender thigh.

Beneath her dignified attire lay an unintentional air of seduction.

A gentle smile rested on her face as she looked kindly at Dugu Yan. When her gaze swept over Xu Fan and Zhu Zhuqing, a trace of scrutiny flickered in the depths of her gentle eyes.

Overall, she gave off an impression of being gentle as water, dignified, and graceful. Yet her voluptuous figure, the charm beneath her cheongsam, and her tender eyes, combined together—

formed an exceptionally captivating contradiction, making her seem both approachable and alluring.

"Lingling! Aunt Ye!" Upon seeing them, Dugu Yan immediately waved happily and quickened her pace.

The blue-haired girl was naturally Ye Lingling, while the woman beside her was her mother, Ye Qingli.

Ye Lingling gave Dugu Yan a soft nod, the corners of her lips curving upward.

"Yanyan is here. Come in quickly. Are these two your friends?" Ye Qingli asked.

Xu Fan and Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward as well.

Dugu Yan enthusiastically introduced them. "Aunt Ye, Lingling, this is Xu Fan, my boyfriend, and this is Zhu Zhuqing. Xu Fan, Zhuqing, this is Lingling's mother. And this is my good sister, Ye Lingling."

When Ye Lingling and Ye Qingli heard that Xu Fan was Dugu Yan's boyfriend, they were slightly shocked.

You moved fast.

But they had already kissed, so perhaps nothing was impossible.

Ye Qingli smiled gently. "Welcome, young friends. It's rare for Yanyan to bring friends over. Please come into the manor. Lingling, take our guests to the Flower Hall."

Ye Lingling gave a soft hum in reply.

She led Xu Fan and the other two toward the Flower Hall.

Familiar with the place, Dugu Yan linked her arm with Ye Lingling's. She turned back and winked at Xu Fan, signaling for them to follow.

Xu Fan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance before following them into Ye Manor.

We're in Ye Manor. It's been a long time since I last came here, yet it still feels so familiar. My two favorite places used to be Moonlight Pavilion, where Tang Yuehua was, and Ye Manor.

Qingli and Lingling both loved flowers. They planted countless flowers throughout Ye Manor, making the place feel fresh and wonderfully comfortable to rest in.

Sigh... the Ye Family was actually quite unfortunate. Ye Lingling and Qingli both possessed the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul. The Nine Hearts Begonia was incredibly powerful. It could be considered the number one Healing Soul Master Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, and its healing ability was even stronger than that of the life-element Blue Silver Emperor.

However, the two were not suited to the same purpose. The Nine Hearts Begonia specialized in group healing, while the Blue Silver Emperor excelled at endurance and resurrection.

The Nine Hearts Begonia held a status comparable to that of the Jade Swans among soul beasts.

But the Nine Hearts Begonia was far more unfortunate than the Jade Swan. Jade Swans were merely few in number, but there could only ever be two Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Masters.

If another was to appear, one of the two had to die first. Thus, for the Nine Hearts Begonia to be passed down normally, its Soul Masters often voluntarily went to their deaths. It was extremely cruel.

"Sister Lingyuan, is the Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul really that awful?" Hu Liena was somewhat shocked. This was the first time she had heard of such a Martial Soul.

Ling Yuan nodded. "That's right. However, the Nine Hearts Begonia's healing ability is indeed extremely strong. I know Ye Qingli. Though she is only a Soul Saint, her healing can even be effective on a Title Douluo.

Once she reaches Soul Douluo, it will likely be effective even on a Super Douluo."

"So amazing!" Hu Liena was stunned.

After all, powerful Healing Soul Masters were extremely rare. There was not a single one among the Title Douluo.

Therefore, treating injuries at the Title Douluo level was incredibly difficult.

Otherwise, Tang Hao would not have remained seriously injured even after all these years.

In Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong had already left the hotel and was making her way toward Ye Manor.

"The Nine Hearts Begonia truly is powerful. Unfortunately... like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it is a flawed Martial Soul. If the Ye Family's Nine Hearts Begonia could be inherited normally, its status would not be any lower than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," Ning Rongrong murmured.

Combat enhancement was important, but Healing Soul Masters were equally important.

Combat enhancement raised the upper limit, while Healing Soul Masters raised the lower limit.

"But what kind of soul beast is this Jade Swan, to hold the same status as the Nine Hearts Begonia?"

Beneath the Lake of Life.

"Biji, did you see that? The Nine Hearts Begonia holds about the same status as your Jade Swan clan," Ziji said with a smile.

"But it is quite cruel." Biji felt some pity. It was clearly such a powerful Martial Soul, yet it had such a limitation.

"Perhaps it is because it is too powerful that it has such a flaw. But Xu Fan should be able to solve it," Ziji said.

"Mm."

Gu Yue Na slightly raised her head and swept her gaze over the two of them. "Do you trust Xu Fan that much now?"

At those words, Biji and Ziji were slightly stunned.

Come to think of it, they really had come to trust him quite a lot.

Ye Manor.

Ye Qingli and Ye Lingling's delicate bodies trembled slightly, and their expressions immediately turned solemn.

Yet in order to keep Xu Fan from noticing, they still pretended to remain calm.

To put it plainly, the reason the Nine Hearts Begonia ended up this way was the same as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Part of its Martial Soul Origin was missing. It was, in truth, an incomplete Martial Soul.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the complete Martial Soul. It was simply that, after being passed down generation after generation, it had grown weaker and weaker.

As long as the Nine Hearts Begonia's Martial Soul Origin could be restored, it could be changed.

As it happens, I still have quite a few Immortal Herbs like that. The Aromatic Silk Beauty can be saved for Rongrong. The remaining Immortal Herb, the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Lotus, can also help Lingling undergo Martial Soul Evolution. As long as Lingling's Martial Soul evolves, everything will be fine.

It's just that I have no excuse to give it to her right now. Looks like I still need to build a good relationship with Lingling, and that will have to depend on Yanyan. Lingling has a cold personality, similar to Zhuqing's, so she is somewhat difficult to deal with.

Ye Lingling's body suddenly trembled. Her large, crystal-clear eyes instantly widened, filling with blazing hope.

She tightly clenched the hem of her clothes, while her eyes reddened at a visible speed and a glistening layer of tears quickly welled up.

Dugu Yan beside her immediately noticed the intense fluctuation in her friend's emotions.

She promptly reached out and lightly patted Ye Lingling's arm. Leaning slightly closer, she moved to Ye Lingling's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Lingling, hold steady... leave it to me."

"But don't cry yet. They'll notice."

Ye Lingling took a deep breath and forced the tears back.

She blinked hard, ultimately keeping the tears from falling.
