Wait, You Agreed That Fast?

Dugu Yan's voice rang out through the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, shattering the air that had briefly frozen under the weight of Gu Yuena's killing intent.

At Dugu Yan's words, everyone's gaze instantly converged on Ye Lingling, who stood to the side looking somewhat uneasy.

Ye Lingling was naturally introverted, even suffering from mild social anxiety.

Being watched by so many peerless powerhouses at once, especially after being swept by the gaze of that purple-eyed girl, she felt her skin crawl. Her cheeks turned bright red in an instant, and even the tips of her ears began to burn.

She nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around as she dared not meet Ling Xuqing's gaze. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"M-my martial soul..."

Seeing her best friend's shy and pitiful appearance, Dugu Yan's heart softened, and she quickly stepped forward to help her out.

She took Ye Lingling's hand and walked up to Ling Xuqing, her tone filled with a mix of urgency and pleading.

"Young Master, Lingling's martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia."

"You know that the Nine Heart Begonia lineage carries a vicious curse—each generation of Nine Heart Begonia successors can only have two people alive at once."

"Once a new Nine Heart Begonia awakens, an elder of the previous generation must die."

"Furthermore... no matter how powerful the soul beasts she absorbs in the future, her martial soul can only possess a singular healing ability; it is impossible to attach any other attributes."

"This curse has tormented her for too long..."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan's eyes grew red.

Ling Xuqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep gaze falling upon Ye Lingling.

His spiritual power swept over her body, instantly sensing the strange force deep within her martial soul that was tightly shackled by the laws of heaven.

"Nine Heart Begonia, is it..."

Ling Xuqing muttered to himself, falling into a brief moment of contemplation.

Just then, Bi Ji, who had been standing by Ling Xuqing's side, slowly stepped forward.

Her eyes, as warm and clear as emeralds, looked Ye Lingling up and down before she sighed softly, her tone tinged with helplessness and regret.

"Nine Heart Begonia?"

"This is indeed a shackle imposed by the laws of heaven."

"This bloodline curse originates from the suppression of the world's rules; even if a God King were to descend, it would not be easily undone."

Hearing Bi Ji's words, the hope that had filled Ye Lingling's eyes instantly dimmed.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as an indescribable sense of loss surged into her heart.

"Even... even a God King can't do anything about it..."

She whispered to herself, her voice filled with deep despair.

However, just as Ye Lingling was about to give up, Bi Ji changed her tone, a mysterious smile curling the corners of her lips.

"However, while we cannot directly resolve the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia, we do have a way to make your martial soul evolve!"

"We can make your Nine Heart Begonia possess not only its singular healing ability but also the power of 'purification'."

"And the solution, as well as the person who can make it happen, is right here!"

"What?!"

Ye Lingling jerked her head up, a brilliant light instantly erupting in her previously deadened, beautiful eyes.

She was trembling with excitement, her voice turning sharp from extreme agitation.

"Sister Bi Ji, are... are you telling the truth?"

"My martial soul... can still evolve?"

"Of course it's true."

Bi Ji nodded with a smile, then raised her jade-like hand to point toward the edge of the spring, where the cold and hot vapors mingled deep within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Following Bi Ji's finger, one could see two immortal herbs emitting strange glows growing at the intersection of the ice and fire.

One was colored like seven-colored glazed glass, resembling a blooming tulip—it was the Tulip of Romance.

The other was as white as jade, its petals forming a perfect eight-petaled symmetry, emitting a refreshing and subtle fragrance—it was the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid!

"It's them!"

Bi Ji's voice echoed through the valley. "The Tulip of Romance absorbs the essence of the sun and moon along with the soul power of heaven and earth; it can greatly purify the soul power of support-type soul masters and permanently enhance your cultivation foundation!"

"And the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid can strengthen your roots and cultivate your essence, cleanse your marrow and refine your meridians, and significantly increase your soul power recovery speed!"

"For a healing-type soul master like you, these two immortal herbs are peerless treasures that offer nothing but benefits!"

Ye Lingling stared blankly at the two immortal herbs, her breathing becoming rapid.

Bi Ji continued, "My suggestion is that you first absorb these two immortal herbs, then, just like Yan Yan did, use Whale Glue for extreme physical reinforcement."

"That way, you can discard your previous two soul rings and re-absorb new ones."

"Furthermore, your first soul ring must start at the thousand-year level!"

"Not only that," Bi Ji's gaze grew profound, "I believe that since your Nine Heart Begonia is a pure healing-type martial soul, and my own origin, the Emerald Swan clan, is also an extreme healing-type soul beast, I can completely split off a portion of my origin power for you to fuse with your martial soul for evolution!"

"Fuse with your origin power?!"

Ye Lingling gasped.

"Exactly!" Bi Ji nodded heavily. "Use the immortal herbs to purify your soul power and cleanse your marrow, use the Whale Glue to strengthen your body, and then fuse with my Emerald Swan origin power."

"In this way, your Nine Heart Begonia can undergo a complete transformation, evolving into a top-tier martial soul with true extreme life attributes, or even a god-level martial soul!"

"Moreover, after fusing with my origin, your martial soul will also possess the abilities of 'purification' and 'rebirth,' just like my World-Purifying Emerald Light and Vitality Rebirth!"

The more Bi Ji spoke, the brighter Ye Lingling's eyes became.

"As for your future soul ring configuration, I suggest you follow the path of extreme life attributes."

"Except for the first and second soul rings, which can attempt to incorporate purification attributes, all other seven soul rings should be absorbed from soul beasts with life and healing attributes!"

"By then, the flaws and curses of your martial soul will not only cease to affect you, but will instead become the greatest aid to your growth!"

"And...!"

At this point, Bi Ji paused intentionally, a meaningful curve appearing on her lips!

"And what?" Ye Lingling pressed.

"Martial soul curses belong to the power of laws, which we indeed cannot change."

"But in this world, there is one person who can."

Bi Ji's gaze turned toward Ling Xuqing, her tone filled with fanatical worship. "That is our Young Master!"

"The Young Master is the descendant of the Dragon God, the heir personally chosen by the Dragon God!"

"He has fused with the Golden Dragon King's origin power and bloodline, and he possesses the Dragon clan's supreme treasure, the Ascending Dragon Pillar."

"In the future, he will surely be able to become a god!"

"And the Dragon God is a supreme God King, a creator deity just like the Phoenix God King!"

"As long as the Young Master can become a god and stand at the very pinnacle of the entire Douluo Continent, wouldn't modifying a few basic laws with the power of a creator be as easy as flipping one's hand?"

"Boom—!"

Bi Ji's words exploded in Ye Lingling's mind like a thunderclap!

A creator deity?

Modifying laws?

Ye Lingling turned her head in a daze to look at the boy standing in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, who was only six years old yet possessed a terrifying soul power of level thirty-eight.

So, he was actually the descendant of the Dragon God!

So, he possessed such an heaven-defying background!

A fire of unprecedented hope began to burn fiercely in Ye Lingling's heart.

Her eyes grew moist with tears of excitement.

"That's great! Lingling, that's great!"

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also excitedly grabbed Ye Lingling's hand and said, "Hurry, let's refine the immortal herbs and the Whale Glue right now!"

However, just as Ye Lingling was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly stopped.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and looked at Bi Ji, asking seriously and solemnly:

"Sister Bi Ji, these... surely shouldn't only have benefits, right?"

"What price do I need to pay?"

Hearing Ye Lingling's question, Bi Ji was slightly stunned, and a flash of admiration crossed her eyes.

This girl was a smart one; she hadn't been blinded by the massive benefits.

"Smart." Bi Ji nodded, her expression turning grave. "There is indeed a price."

"And that is..."

"You must swear by your divine soul to pledge your loyalty to the Young Master from this day forward, and you must never harbor the slightest thought of betrayal!"

"In the future, the Young Master will be your only one, your faith, and your..."

"Fine, I agree!"

Before Bi Ji could finish her sentence, Ye Lingling spoke up without hesitation, her voice crisp and firm.

"Huh?"

Bi Ji froze on the spot.

She looked at Ye Lingling in astonishment, her emerald eyes filled with disbelief.

Wait, you agreed that fast?

I hadn't even finished talking yet!

This little girl, didn't she even consider it for a second?
