Utter Devotion, Lovesick Heartbreak! A Confession Certified by the Heavenly Dao!

Lin Qing quickly recovered from his shock.

He immediately pulled a third-level soul power testing Soul Tool he had crafted himself from his storage Soul Tool.

"Er Ni, quick, put your hand on it and test your soul power."

"Oh... okay!"

Er Ni was still in a daze.

Hearing this, she subconsciously pressed her other free hand onto the crystal ball.

HUM!!!

The crystal ball trembled slightly at first.

Then, it erupted with an unprecedented, dazzling red light!

The brilliance was so intense that it instantly illuminated the entire room, even shining through the window and out into the courtyard.

The red light was pure and rich, without a hint of impurity.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Lin Qing's voice was slightly distorted from extreme shock.

"And it's Innate Full Soul Power after the martial soul quality has been elevated to the immortal grade."

This meant that from today on, Er Ni's starting point for cultivation would be raised to an unimaginable level.

For a soul master possessing a top-tier immortal-grade martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power, becoming a powerhouse was not difficult, provided they did not perish prematurely.

"Ah?"

Er Ni was stunned herself.

She stared at the beautiful and unfamiliar Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her palm, at a loss for what to do.

Her mouth opened and closed.

It took a long time for her to find her voice, and with a tearful, anxious tone, she said:

"Ah Qing, this, what exactly is this? It's, it's too precious! It's such a waste for you to give it to me! You should have used it yourself!"

In her simple way of thinking, such a good thing should naturally be used by the more capable Ah Qing.

Giving it to an ordinary person like her, who only knew how to manage accounts and cook, was nothing short of a waste of a heavenly treasure.

"Silly talk."

Hearing Er Ni's words, Lin Qing felt both touched and amused.

He walked over to Er Ni and reached out to ruffle her now fiery red, soft hair, his movements exceptionally gentle.

"Sister Er Ni, remember one thing: whatever I give you, just accept it with peace of mind. There is no such thing as a waste."

"You deserve to have it."

A girl who treated him with her whole heart and tied her entire being to him deserved the best things in this world.

Moreover, the characteristics of an immortal-grade item like the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, which required deep affection and sincerity, might truly be more compatible with Er Ni's pure heart.

Using it himself might not yield as good an effect as giving it to her.

"Besides," Lin Qing withdrew his hand and smiled as he looked her over, "you now possess the Lovesick Heartbreak Red martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power; you're going to be an incredible genius soul master from now on."

"Perhaps in the future, I'll even have to rely on Sister Er Ni to protect me."

He made a small joke.

"Ah? Me protecting Ah Qing?"

Er Ni blinked, her face flushing slightly, and she hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no, I'm so clumsy..."

"Who said you were clumsy?"

Lin Qing interrupted her, his expression serious: "You manage the Qinglin Restaurant accounts in perfect order and learn things quickly. You aren't clumsy at all; you just never had the opportunity before."

"Now that you have a good martial soul and talent, as long as you are willing to work hard, your future achievements will be limitless."

He looked into Er Ni's eyes and said earnestly: "Sister Er Ni, remember, you have never been my appendage, nor are you a useless person."

"You are my most important family, the second manager of the Qinglin Restaurant, and now, a soul master with a promising future."

"Ah Qing..."

Listening to these words, Er Ni's eyes turned red instantly, and tears welled up within them.

She sniffled hard, holding back the tears.

Then, she nodded heavily.

Her voice was choked with emotion, yet exceptionally firm: "Mm! I, I will definitely work hard to cultivate! I'll give it my all to become stronger!"

"I, I want to be someone useful to you, I want to be able to help you, instead of always holding you back!"

Her thoughts remained simple and persistent.

Everything she possessed now was given to her by Lin Qing.

To become stronger was to better stand by Lin Qing's side and share his burdens, rather than being protected forever.

"Alright."

Lin Qing smiled with satisfaction.

"But before that, calm your mind and properly sense your new Martial Soul."

"See if there is anything special about it besides its changed appearance and increased Innate Soul Power, or if it has conveyed any information to you."

He did not believe that an Immortal-grade Martial Soul was limited to just this; perhaps it possessed some unique abilities.

"Oh, right! Yes!"

Er Ni finally reacted.

She hurriedly closed her eyes, held her breath, and focused, establishing a deeper connection between her consciousness and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red radiating warmth and sorrow in her palm.

She wanted to understand what kind of power this flower, which had appeared because of Lin Qing and changed her destiny, truly possessed.

The room remained quiet for a long while.

Er Ni's long eyelashes fluttered gently.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were struggling to perceive and comprehend the newly emerged information regarding the origin of her Martial Soul.

Lin Qing did not rush her.

He simply stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.

In his heart, he was actually somewhat curious and expectant.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the immortal among immortals, the flower of ultimate emotion and nature—what kind of unique abilities would its Martial Soul possess?

Finally.

Er Ni's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Those clear eyes first took a deep look at the crimson, dripping Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her palm before turning to Lin Qing.

But that gaze... was a bit complicated.

It was a mixture of shyness, bewilderment, and a hint of unspeakable bashfulness.

Her face was flushed red like a ripe apple.

"What's wrong? Is there something special about the Martial Soul?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Um... yes, it is a bit special."

Er Ni twisted the hem of her clothes unconsciously, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Tell me about it, it's okay."

Lin Qing encouraged her.

"It seems my Martial Soul can only ever have one innate soul skill."

"The name is... 'Lovesick Heartbreak'."

When she said these four words, her cheeks turned even redder.

"Oh?"

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised.

It could only possess one innate soul skill?

How it sounded somewhat similar to the Nine Heart Begonia.

"What is the effect?"

"The effect is... to provide an all-attribute boost to myself, and to my, my beloved."

She paused, stole a glance at Lin Qing, and then quickly lowered her eyes, her earlobes stained with a blush.

That shy, evasive gaze, paired with her cherry-colored hair, created a strong sense of contrast, yet it was unexpectedly cute.

"It, its target seems to only ever be you, Lin Qing."

After saying this, Er Ni felt the heat on her face was enough to fry an egg.

How was this any different from a direct confession!

"?"

After hearing this, the expression on Lin Qing's face instantly became quite colorful.

First, surprise.

Then, realization.

Following that, he was caught between laughter and tears, which then melted into a deep warmth and a trace of imperceptible awkwardness.

Good heavens, this Martial Soul really was "of ultimate emotion and nature"!

Was it bound so tightly?

It had forced him to be "confessed to" once again in such a novel and irresistible way.

Even though his mental age was mature and his skin was not exactly thin, being confessed to by a girl who loved him wholeheartedly through a Martial Soul ability—a method that felt almost like a "Heavenly Dao certification"—was something he found a bit hard to handle.
