Background / History

The Nine Heart Begonia is a hereditary martial soul passed through a single lineage, with no more than two inheritors existing at one time. Ye Lingling and her grandfather Ye Hesong are the only remaining members of their family’s line. Because the martial soul is an exceptionally rare healing-type support martial soul, Ye Hesong fears that the Ye family will be coerced into serving a major power after his death. 49

To secure Ye Lingling’s safety, Ye Hesong proposes an engagement between her and Lu Xiao. Du Busi accepts the arrangement on Lu Xiao’s behalf, while Ye Hesong specifies that the two children may ultimately decide the marriage according to their own wishes. 49

Ye Lingling is also Dugu Yan’s close friend. Their families have been friends for generations because the Nine Heart Begonia can ease the toxic backlash caused by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. 49

After Lu Xiao refines the Life Creation Pill with the Life-Giving Jade-Soul Lotus, Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia evolves into the Holy Healing Immortal Begonia. The evolution removes the Nine Heart Begonia lineage’s restriction that only two inheritors may exist at once, freeing Ye Lingling from the fate that had endangered her family. 122 125

Appearance

Ye Lingling is a slim girl with fair, cool-toned skin and clear ice-blue eyes. Her long eyelashes curl upward, and her gentle gaze is repeatedly described as soft and pure. 49 51

• Usually wears a plain white gown during training. 58
• Has also worn a simple black dress and, during her reunion with the Imperial Dou Team, a spotless white dress with a white veil covering her face. 49 112
• Possesses notably thin build and limited physical endurance compared with battle-oriented Soul Masters. 51 58
• Her original martial soul manifests as a vivid pink begonia flower, surrounded by life energy and drifting petals. 49
• Following its evolution, her Holy Healing Immortal Begonia has green-gold petals marked with fine golden patterns and a luminous pearl-like central pistil. Its manifestation radiates a holy, vigorous life aura. 125

Personality

Ye Lingling is gentle, attentive, and protective of those close to her. She comforts Dugu Yan when she is upset, listens without pressuring her to explain embarrassing details, and immediately treats her toxic backlash. 49

She is knowledgeable about rare medicinal materials, recognizing Thousand-Year Dragon Marrow Gel on sight and revealing that her family possesses a piece of the same treasure. 50 Despite this composure, she is notably thin-skinned in personal matters; learning of her engagement to Lu Xiao leaves her shocked and deeply embarrassed. 50 51

Ye Lingling is compassionate toward living creatures. Upon encountering the gravely wounded Emerald Swan at the Lake of Life, she attempts to heal it and ultimately agrees to receive its power origin and continue its life through her own martial soul. 129 She also displays quiet determination, enduring Du Busi’s demanding training despite her originally weak constitution and accepting the risks of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring absorption. 74 129

Abilities & Skills

Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul

The Nine Heart Begonia is a rare healing-type support martial soul inherited only through Ye Lingling’s family line. Its healing capability makes its wielders highly coveted by major powers. 49

• Her healing support can restore allies to peak condition during combat. 80
• Her physical constitution is lower than that of combat-oriented Soul Masters, making pressure-based training particularly difficult. 58

Holy Healing Immortal Begonia

• Provides a rare group-defense capability that complements her healing and purification support. 130

Relationships

Lu Xiao guides her martial soul evolution and consults her before accepting Bi Ji’s proposal concerning the Emerald Swan. 49 50 51 70 112 125 129
