The Birth of the Sharp-Tailed Phoenix! Bai Chenxiang Falls for Song Ye!

Bai Chenxiang was immediately somewhat surprised when she heard her grandfather's words.

She could also tell how powerful and extraordinary this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was. In her impression, such a treasure should have been given to an elder.

Who would have thought her grandfather intended to give it to her?

Bai Chenxiang hurriedly refused.

"No, Grandpa. This is far too precious. You should definitely use it."

"Chenxiang doesn't want it. Chenxiang can cultivate on her own!"

Bai He felt warmth in his heart as he listened, and he understood the child's feelings.

He quickly urged her.

"Chenxiang, this Immortal Herb must be given to you."

"The rebirth-like effects of Immortal Herbs mainly work on children."

"Grandpa is old. Even if I take this Immortal Herb, its effects will be limited."

"But you are different. Your talent already surpasses Grandpa's. With the support of an Immortal Herb, you will surely become a Title Douluo in the future!"

"Once you become a Title Douluo, Grandpa and the Speed Clan will need your protection."

"Chenxiang, are you unwilling to protect the clan and Grandpa?"

Bai He patiently guided her, and Bai Chenxiang seemed lost in thought as she listened.

Bai He stroked Bai Chenxiang's head and comforted her a few more times.

Only then was Bai Chenxiang willing to accept it, taking the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into her hands.

She even specially bowed to Song Ye. "Thank you."

"No need. Absorb it here directly."

"The younger you are, the better its medicinal effects will be."

Bai Chenxiang nodded and promptly began absorbing the Immortal Herb on the spot.

Bai He and the others simply waited nearby.

Dugu Yan watched with immense envy. An Immortal Herb—such a treasure had originally belonged to her grandfather.

If only she had one too!

At the thought, Dugu Yan looked at Song Ye with a complicated expression.

She had previously looked down on Song Ye, but after coming to the Speed Clan, she discovered that he was remarkably mature. He had even played a Soul Douluo around in the palm of his hand.

By now, Dugu Yan had begun to feel some goodwill and admiration toward Song Ye.

Yet watching someone else consume an Immortal Herb still made Dugu Yan uncomfortable.

These had originally been her grandfather's assets, and would have become her future assets as well, yet they were now being used to benefit others.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged Dugu Yan felt. She bit her lip and turned her head away.

Dugu Bo saw this but could do nothing about it.

Song Ye had actually noticed. He casually said to Dugu Yan,

"Don't worry. I'll give you one too when the time comes!"

The moment those words came out, Dugu Bo's face lit up with surprise. He truly wanted his granddaughter to gain something as well.

Dugu Yan was equally stunned.

She quickly turned around and looked at Song Ye, asking with some curiosity, "You mean I'll have one too?"

Song Ye smiled and nodded. "Your grandfather is one of my people now too. How could I not give you any benefits?"

"We'll talk after we return."

Upon receiving confirmation, Dugu Yan's face became increasingly delighted, and she immediately cast aside her earlier discomfort.

For some reason, hearing that Song Ye was willing to give her an Immortal Herb actually gave her a faint desire to submit to him.

Her previous disdain and contempt for Song Ye diminished even further.

They continued waiting for Bai Chenxiang to absorb the Immortal Herb.

About two hours later, the sky outside had fully entered the deep night, and Bai Chenxiang finally finished absorbing it.

The moment she opened her eyes after completing the absorption, Bai Chenxiang was overwhelmed with excitement.

She abruptly stood up, found Bai He, and said,

"Grandpa! It's so incredible!"

"My—my Soul Power has risen by several levels, and even my Martial Soul evolved!"

"Oh my god, Grandpa, my Martial Soul evolved too!!"

"What? Martial Soul Evolution?!"

The moment Bai He heard this, he was equally excited.

He had expected the Immortal Herb to be extraordinary and greatly beneficial to Bai Chenxiang.

But who could have imagined that even her Martial Soul could evolve?

Bai He hurriedly asked, "Chenxiang, quick, let Grandpa see your evolved Martial Soul!"

Bai Chenxiang nodded and summoned her Martial Soul.

In an instant, a peculiar bird appeared behind her, resembling both a swallow and a phoenix.

Bai Chenxiang said, "My Martial Soul is now called the Sharp-Tailed Phoenix! It can barely be considered half-transformed into a phoenix."

"Though it still cannot compare to a true top-tier phoenix Martial Soul, it has already become a super Martial Soul!"

"Sharp-Tailed Phoenix!"

"Phoenix Power?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai He's entire body trembled, and he involuntarily sucked in a breath.

For an avian Soul Beast, once it possessed Phoenix Power, the improvement would be beyond imagination!

Bai He was overjoyed and excitedly exclaimed,

"Hahaha, good, wonderful!!"

"From now on, the Martial Soul of our Speed Clan will possess Phoenix Bloodline!"

"If we develop it well in the future, perhaps one day a true phoenix may even mutate into existence!"

"The Speed Clan shall flourish! The Bai Clan shall flourish!"

How could Bai He have imagined the benefits would be so astonishing, enough to evolve even his clan's future Martial Soul?

Thinking of this, he hurried over to Song Ye, grabbed both his hands, and burst into tears.

"This old man was foolish and did not realize Young Master Song's benevolent heart!"

"I once doubted Young Friend Song, but looking at it now, never mind those weapons and resources—this Martial Soul Evolution alone is enough for this old man to give you his life!"

"Young Friend Song... no!"

"Young Master!!"

By the end, Bai He had been completely won over and said emotionally,

"No more talk of cooperation. From this day onward, I, Bai He, am your subordinate!"

"If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

"Only in this way can I repay the grace of evolving this clan!"

Song Ye was equally delighted when he heard this.

He had said long ago that he would eventually take control of the Speed Clan.

But he had not expected it to happen so quickly. Was Martial Soul Evolution really that important to Bai He?

Thinking about it, it made sense. In the original story, Ma Hongjun, that dead fatso, was ugly and lecherous, yet Bai He had directly married his granddaughter off to him.

All because he wanted Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Bloodline. That was all!

This showed that Martial Souls were practically the most important thing in Bai He's eyes.

After all, the Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul was far too ordinary on the Douluo Continent. It could not even be considered outstanding; the Speed Clan was merely good at cultivating it.

At this thought, Song Ye patted Bai He's hand. "Clan Head Bai, there is no need for this."

"Rest assured, I will still show the Speed Clan the respect it deserves in the future."

"Furthermore, the Speed Clan will be among the founding members of my forces, so its future status will naturally not be low!"

"Thank you, Young Master!" Bai He said as he wiped away his emotional tears.

Dugu Bo muttered to himself nearby,

"Should I start calling him Young Master in the future too?"

"Otherwise, always calling him Song Ye feels too distant..."

After thinking it over, Dugu Bo felt that being more respectful in the future would do no harm.

Afterward, they also tested Bai Chenxiang's Sharp-Tailed Phoenix Martial Soul.

After its evolution, this Martial Soul possessed not only the supreme speed of the Sharp-Tailed Swift, but also the dominance of a phoenix, greatly enhancing its combat power.

From then on, Bai Chenxiang could finally have both speed and offensive strength.

The more Bai Chenxiang tested her Martial Soul, the more grateful she became toward Song Ye.

After the testing ended, she stood to the side and watched Song Ye speak with her grandfather in such a mature manner.

For some reason, the more Bai Chenxiang looked at Song Ye, the more she felt her heartbeat accelerate.

Bai Chenxiang sighed inwardly.

Perhaps a boy like this could be considered a real man...

Now that I look closely, Brother Ye is actually quite handsome...
