Ye Lingling Receives Hidden Reward

However.

Dugu Bo then noticed his granddaughter looking at Ye Lingling with an expression of pure envy, as if she wished she could swap places with her, which left him completely baffled.

"Yanyan, are you that impatient too?"

How could you be so desperate as well!

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan snapped back to reality, hurriedly shaking her head. "Oh! Grandpa, what are you saying? I'm not talking to you anymore."

Wuwuwu—!

How could I not be envious? Ten levels of soul power!

Ye Lingling slowly regained her senses, her face already streaked with tears as she looked at Su Chen with deep affection.

"Su Chen, regardless of whether you have a girlfriend or how you treat me, I will never leave your side in this lifetime."

"My father passed away when I was very young. My grandmother always lied to me, saying he died hunting a soul beast, but I knew the truth—he chose to leave so that I could inherit the Nine Heart Begonia!"

"There can only be one successor to the Nine Heart Begonia in each generation, yet there can only ever be two of us Nine Heart Begonia soul masters alive at once."

"The moment I was born, my family was destined to make a choice: either I would live a life of mediocrity, or one of my relatives would have to sacrifice themselves."

"Thank you... thank you, Su Chen. Today is the happiest... the most blissful day of my life!"

By the time she finished, Ye Lingling had dissolved into a tearful mess, her voice choking with sobs.

Su Chen pulled Ye Lingling into his arms, gently stroking her hair to comfort her.

"You've cried until you look like a little kitten. With me here from now on, I won't let you suffer ever again."

Dugu Yan was also wiping away her own tears. As her best friend, she had never known the burdens Ye Lingling carried, only perceiving her as mature, cold, and reticent.

Thinking about it now, her life had truly been bitter.

"Sigh!"

Dugu Bo let out a soft sigh and spoke in a gentle, consoling tone:

"Child, everything is getting better now. Come, tell us about the changes in your martial soul!"

Ye Lingling wiped her tears and bowed to Dugu Bo in gratitude.

"Thank you, Grandpa Dugu. Without the immortal herb from your family, my martial soul could never have evolved."

"My Nine Heart Begonia has evolved into the Nine Heart Begonia Empress. It has broken through the limitation on the number of users, allowing a Nine Heart Begonia to appear in every generation."

"Furthermore, the Nine Heart Begonia Empress has gained a resurrection soul skill. Although it has many restrictions, it is still an incredibly powerful divine skill."

The three of them: ???

Dugu Yan said with an excited expression:

"Does this mean that before, you could save me as long as I had a breath left, but now, even if I'm completely breathless, you can still bring me back?"

Ye Lingling nodded. "More or less, but it has to be shortly after death. And if it's due to poison or old age, the person will still be poisoned or at the end of their lifespan after being resurrected, so they would still die."

Good heavens!

Su Chen couldn't help but look down at Ye Lingling in his arms. This was—the number one healer on the continent, the kind with massive output and endless supply!

"Wow!"

Dugu Yan excitedly lunged forward. Ignoring the fact that Ye Lingling was still in Su Chen's arms, she squeezed herself in, looking delighted.

"From now on, I want to be teammates with Lingling for life, best sisters for life, and never be separated again."

"This gives me such a sense of security."

Having said that, Dugu Yan suddenly remembered Su Chen. She hesitated for a moment—ten levels of soul power!

I'm going to go all out today.

Sneak attack!

Suddenly, she planted a kiss right on Su Chen's lips.

Su Chen was startled on the spot. "What are you doing? Hey!"

Ye Lingling was also stunned. Didn't you say you wanted to be my best sister for life? Why are you kissing Su Chen?

Dugu Bo was equally dumbfounded.

Damn it!

My little cabbage has grown legs and run straight into the pig's mouth.

However.

The reality was not what Dugu Yan had expected. Although her sneak attack was successful, she did not receive any reward.

Dugu Yan was bewildered.

My first kiss.

"That was my first kiss, why didn't I get ten levels of spirit power?"

"I'll try again!"

Ye Lingling's eyes were also dazed; she understood what Dugu Yan was trying to do, but! After waiting for so long, there was absolutely no sign of a system reward...

Yanzi, you've suffered a huge loss.

Obviously.

The rewards couldn't be bugged; simply kissing Su Chen wasn't enough to trigger them.

"Let's go!"

Dugu Bo really couldn't watch any longer and spoke up, "Yanzi has already broken through to level forty. We might as well help her hunt for a spirit ring, then head back to Heaven Dou City together."

Ye Lingling said, somewhat shyly, "Um... actually, I just happened to break through to level forty as well."

Her current spirit power was actually level forty-eight. She had been level thirty-two, gained six levels from the immortal herb, and ten levels from the reward, but she couldn't say that yet!

Su Chen glanced at Ye Lingling in surprise, feeling a bit puzzled!

In the original work, when the Heaven Dou Royal Team first appeared, Dugu Yan was level thirty-eight and Ye Lingling was level thirty-five. At this point in time, she should only be around level thirty-two, right?

Even with the immortal herb, she should be at most level thirty-eight or thirty-nine. How could she have surged to level forty and caught up to Dugu Yan?

Dugu Bo also looked at Ye Lingling with a strange expression, secretly making a note: the one Ye Lingling used was called the Silk Velvet Tulip, right?

Yanyan, you were too slow to act.

This little rascal Su Chen is clearly giving special treatment to his own women.

Heaven Dou City.

Spirit Hall branch.

Hu Liena had been feeling wonderful after seeing that Su Chen had prepared an immortal herb for her!

But then, seeing that Ye Lingling had obtained ten levels of spirit power, she thought, Good heavens! Their progress has actually caught up.

No way!

As soon as Su Chen returns, I must immediately explore him body and soul and complete our spirit fusion skill. This isn't just about the rewards; I must become his first wife.

Hesitation leads to defeat, decisiveness leads to success.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, her mind made up.

Crown Prince Mansion.

The little angel was feeling numb right now.

Another one completed a hidden task, another ten-level boost in spirit power. Ah!

These people are truly detestable. I don't even know what's going on, yet they've already taken the lead. How exactly are they getting these rewards?

Should I...

Should I send someone to summon Hu Liena and ask?

Qian Renxue hesitated, but finally gritted her teeth and decided to send someone to the Heaven Dou City branch to bring Hu Liena in for a harsh interrogation!

At the same time.

The women who possessed a Diary Copy were all swelling with envy.

Seriously.

We haven't even met Su Chen yet, and you all are getting all sorts of rewards. Is this really fair?

Is there any justice left?

Is there any law?

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was feeling greedy now too.

Immortal herbs.

Ten levels of spirit power.

If she could obtain one, her strength would surely see a massive increase.

However, how could she get an immortal herb from Su Chen? And if she really had a chance to gain ten levels of spirit power, how would her level increase?

She was already at the level cap!

Wait?

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were together, and both were Diary Copy owners, yet Dugu Yan hadn't received a reward yet. It seemed these rewards weren't easy to get after all!
