Qin Feng VS Yu Tianheng!

Yu Tianheng felt a sudden jolt in his heart as he looked at the resolute expression in Dugu Yan's eyes.

Although he didn't know how Qin Feng had offended her to provoke such intense anger, since she had spoken, the boy's time was clearly up.

"Fine! Since you say so, Yan, I'll personally play with him."

Yu Tianheng turned around, his gaze toward Qin Feng filled with cruelty.

Since Dugu Yan wanted to vent, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

Standing beside Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling's beautiful brows furrowed slightly at this moment.

She gently tugged at Dugu Yan's sleeve and whispered:

"Yan, isn't this going too far?"

Although Ye Lingling had a cold temperament, she was kind-hearted.

In her view, while Qin Feng might be a bit reckless, he didn't deserve this.

If Yu Tianheng went all out, it would cost someone their life.

Hearing her friend's dissuasion, the frost on Dugu Yan's face melted slightly, but the shame and resentment in her eyes remained undiminished.

How could she explain this kind of thing to Lingling?

Could she say that the bastard was fantasizing about her body in his diary?

If she said such things out loud, how could she, Dugu Yan, ever face anyone again?

"Lingling, stay out of this."

Dugu Yan leaned into Ye Lingling's ear and said through gritted teeth, "This Qin Feng is a shameless lecher through and through, utterly devoid of shame! If I don't teach him a lesson today, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

"Also, no matter how badly he gets beaten later, you are not allowed to heal him!"

"I want him to feel pain! I want him to know who can be provoked and who cannot!"

Ye Lingling was slightly stunned.

A lecher?

In her impression, although Qin Feng didn't talk much, his eyes were clear; he didn't seem like a wicked or villainous person.

What had happened to Yan?

Just as Ye Lingling was feeling puzzled, Qin Feng was not idle either.

[Ye Lingling is here too!]

[Tsk tsk, this temperament is truly one of a kind in the Douluo Continent.]

[Ye Lingling is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, beautiful and kind. When I first arrived at the academy and was ostracized, unable to even get a meal, it was thanks to her that someone secretly brought me a few steamed buns. I, Qin Feng, have kept this kindness in my heart.]

The content of the diary slowly appeared in the void before Ye Lingling.

At the same time, a black notebook emitting a faint glow appeared silently in her palm.

Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled, and her eyes, which had been as calm as water, were instantly stirred into a tempest.

What... what is this?

She subconsciously looked at Dugu Yan beside her, only to find that Dugu Yan was staring fixedly at the arena, seemingly unaware of this sudden anomaly.

Ye Lingling lowered her head, her gaze falling on the diary.

As the latest text appeared line by line, her pretty face, hidden behind her veil, flushed red at a visible speed.

[Ye Lingling's clear, innocent eyes are truly captivating, and the faint black veil only adds to her hazy beauty, making one want to tear it off to see what lies beneath.]

[Especially those jade legs, long and straight—they are simply top-tier on the Douluo Must-Eat List!]

Must-Eat List...

Ye Lingling felt her ears burning.

Although she didn't fully understand the specific meaning of the term, combined with the context, even a fool could guess that these were definitely not proper words.

This Qin Feng...

He looked so honest on the surface, yet he was so lewd on the inside?

He even wanted to tear off her veil?

A surge of shame and annoyance rose in Ye Lingling's heart, and the urge to plead for Qin Feng vanished instantly.

No wonder Yan was so angry and wanted Yu Tianheng to beat him to death.

A guy with a head full of such filth really deserved a lesson!

However, when the next paragraph of the diary appeared, the shame and annoyance in Ye Lingling's heart suddenly froze.

[Come to think of it, Ye Lingling is also a pitiful person!]

[Although the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is powerful and hailed as the number one healing martial soul, its possessor is cursed, passed down through only one descendant per generation.]

[There can only be two Nine Heart Begonia soul masters in this world at the same time; only when the previous generation dies can the next truly grow.]

[And in the end, to keep her mother alive and prevent this legacy from being severed, Ye Lingling has no choice but to remain alone for the rest of her life, never marrying, and without even a single close friend.]

[What a wonderful girl, yet she must bear such a heavy fate.]

Ye Lingling's fingers trembled slightly as she gripped the diary.

This was her family's greatest secret; aside from direct relatives, it was impossible for any outsider to know.

How did Qin Feng know about it?

Moreover, the deep sense of regret and affection between the lines caused Ye Lingling's long-closed, icy heart to tremble inexplicably.

Since she was young, because of this curse, she had never dared to form deep connections with others, nor did she dare to hope for love.

She was like a begonia flower growing on the edge of a cliff—beautiful, yet lonely.

But now, someone had actually reached out through this mysterious diary to voice the deepest pain hidden in her heart.

Immediately after, the final line of text caught her eye.

[Since I, Qin Feng, have come to this world, I will not let her grow old in solitude!]

[Such beautiful legs... cough, such a wonderful girl, of course, must be protected by me!]

Ye Lingling was stunned.

An indescribable warmth rose from the bottom of her heart, spreading rapidly throughout her entire body, even diluting the embarrassment caused by that shameful "Must-Eat List" from earlier.

Not letting me grow old in solitude...

Does this mean he wants to...

The blush on Ye Lingling's face spread instantly to her neck; fortunately, it was hidden by her veil, otherwise, it would have surely made others' jaws drop.

"Hmph, talk is cheap."

Ye Lingling spat softly in her heart, yet the corners of her mouth curled upward involuntarily.

"On one hand, he praises me as a good girl, and on the other, he's eyeing my legs..."

"Men really are all just big pigs' trotters."

Although she scolded him in her heart, the lingering resentment she felt toward Qin Feng had already vanished into thin air.

"Lingling?"

Just then, Dugu Yan, who was beside her, noticed her friend's strange behavior.

She glanced at the diary content in her mind and guessed what was happening.

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed:

"Lingling, you have a diary too?"

Ye Lingling snapped back to reality and nodded gently, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Yeah, it just appeared." Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then, as if she realized something, she said with a tone of exasperation:

"Lingling, don't believe his nonsense! This guy is a complete and utter liar!"

Ye Lingling did not retort; instead, she reached out her jade-like hand and gave a light pat on Dugu Yan's perky buttocks.

Slap.

The crisp sound, though not loud, was exceptionally clear between the two of them.

"Ah!"

Dugu Yan let out a startled cry and jumped back half a step like a frightened rabbit, covering her backside while staring at her usually dignified and reserved friend in disbelief.
