Background / History

Ye Lingling is the sole inheritor of her generation’s Nine-Heart Begonia, a healing martial soul passed down to only one descendant per generation. This limitation prevents the Ye Clan from expanding through multiple inheritors, despite the martial soul’s exceptional healing power. 66 69

She and her mother, Ye Lengleng, run herbal medicine shops and hold Whale Glue Pellet distribution rights in Heaven Dou City. The family gained influence through its alliance with the Dugu Clan and Dugu Bo’s backing; Ye Lingling’s plant sensitivity also helped establish their medicinal-herb business. 66 73 89

The Ye Clan’s commercial position was also supported in secret by Platinum Bishop Salas. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and Heaven Dou interests sought to consolidate Whale Glue Pellet distribution, Ye Lengleng became caught between several major factions and Spirit Hall’s overtures. 96 97

As a core member of the Imperial Battle Team, she is Dugu Yan’s closest companion. The two regard one another as sisters, and Ye Lingling regularly acts as Dugu Yan’s confidante and emotional support. 66 70

Personality

Ye Lingling is calm, observant, and pragmatic. During the Soul Fight against Shrek, she remains composed while held at clawpoint, uses Ning Rongrong as a hostage to create favorable terms for Dugu Yan, and accurately judges that neither side can safely rely on status alone. 69 70

Although primarily a healer, she refuses to be treated as helpless. She has trained in close combat, carries spare weapons, and regards a support Soul Master’s inability to defend themself as unacceptable. 69 72

She is especially protective of her mother and becomes determined to gain the strength needed to protect her family after Qian Ni forces her into increasingly dangerous situations. 97 104

Though initially frightened by Qian Ni’s methods, Ye Lingling demonstrates considerable endurance. During her battle against Jing Ling, she continues resisting internally while controlled through Rider’s Bridle, repeatedly heals her own torn muscles, and eventually recognizes that the painful exertion is strengthening her body. 104

After the Ye Clan becomes dependent on Qian Ni’s protection, Ye Lingling remains cautious in public but increasingly accepts her place among his lackeys. 100 118 154

Abilities & Skills

Nine-Heart Begonia

Ye Lingling’s martial soul is a top-tier healing support martial soul specializing in physical recovery.

• Heals injuries sustained by herself and others, including Dugu Yan after her defeat. 72 93
• Used a wide-area healing skill to treat the injured Imperial Battle Team reserve members. 100
• Can rapidly repair the muscular damage she suffers while being controlled in combat. 104
• Her healing is considered particularly effective against injuries to Jing Ling’s skeletal martial-soul body. 106 107
• The martial soul has only one inheritor in each generation. 66 69
• Its area, intensity, and target locations can be adjusted with fine Soul Power control, allowing it to efficiently heal multiple targets. 117
• Her mother’s Soul Sage-level Nine-Heart Begonia healing was used to sustain Zhu Zhuqing through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s brutal body-tempering process. 119

Cultivation Enhancement

Ye Lingling received extensive enhancement through Qian Ni’s resources and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Tempered her muscles, bones, and meridians by absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Divine Springs’ energies. 119
• Developed substantial resistance to poisons and to extreme cold and heat; her naturally generated Soul Power can shift between extreme-cold and extreme-heat forms. 119
• Successfully plucked and absorbed the divine-grade Lovesick Heartbreak Red, which raised her Soul Power from level 37 to level 48. 119 120
• Became one of Qian Ni’s Yin Extreme Celestial Immortals following the group enhancement process. 120
• Later acquired an approximately fifty-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring and reached level 51. 154
• Qian Ni intends to cultivate Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast resources, including Blue Silver Emperors renowned for vitality, for her future Soul Rings. 157

Plant Sensitivity

Her Nine-Heart Begonia gives her heightened sensitivity to plants, particularly unusual specimens.

• Helped Ye Lingling and her mother build the Ye Clan’s herbal-medicine business. 73
• Allowed her to recognize the distinctive scent of high-grade Whale Rubber on Zhu Zhuqing. 72
• Detected the unusual plant-like nature of Qian Ni’s Celestial Potato Mine, though her curiosity led her to trigger it. 73

Close-Quarters Combat

Despite being a healing Soul Master, Ye Lingling has substantial practical combat experience.

• Uses short knives and carries spare blades in her storage Soul Tool. 69
• Defeated Ning Rongrong by throwing one knife, evading the follow-up attack, drawing a second blade, cutting her thigh, and restraining her at knifepoint. 69
• Fought while exposed to Dugu Yan’s poisonous haze and anticipated Shrek’s attempt to isolate her as the team healer. 69
• Her experience and versatility distinguish her from support Soul Masters who rely entirely on teammates. 72

Lightning Pellet Dual-Blade Style

Qian Ni provides Ye Lingling with two Lightning Pellets, which defend her automatically and later serve as dual weapons.

• The Lightning Pellets independently block Jing Ling’s twin bone blades, allowing Ye Lingling to withstand an agility-type opponent. 101
• While controlled through Rider’s Bridle, she uses them to execute a sustained dual-blade assault against Jing Ling. 104
• Delivers sixteen rapid strikes in the finishing technique Starburst Stream, shattering Jing Ling’s bone blades and defeating him. 104
• The exertion heavily damages her muscles and nearly exhausts her Soul Power, requiring continuous self-healing. 104
• Qian Ni subsequently replenishes her Soul Power through Entwined Branches, allowing the Nine-Heart Begonia to repair her injuries almost immediately. 104

Equipment / Items

• Storage Soul Tool — carries short knives and spare combat equipment. 69
• Short knives — used to defeat and restrain Ning Rongrong. 69
• Lightning Pellets — dual defensive and offensive weapons supplied by Qian Ni. 101 104
• Time Furoshiki — Qian Ni teaches Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan how to use it. 106 107

Relationships

• Dugu Yan — Imperial Battle Team teammate and sister-like best friend; Ye Lingling supports her during her conflict with Yu Tianheng and protects her during the Soul Fight against Shrek. The pair later undergoes the same enhancement process, acquire similar fourth Soul Rings, and reach level 51 together. 66 70 95 154
• Qian Ni — initially an adversary after she and Dugu Yan detonate his Celestial Potato Mine; he captures her over the resulting debt and later identifies her as his lackey. They subsequently fight together as the “Qian-Ye Duo,” and Ye Lingling becomes one of his Five Little Lackeys. 74 95 100 104 154
• Ye Lengleng — her mother and the previous generation’s Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master; Ye Lingling is strongly protective of her. The two undergo the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well tempering together, further binding the Ye Clan’s future to Qian Ni. 89 97 99 119
• Ning Rongrong — fellow auxiliary Soul Master and opponent; Ye Lingling defeats her in close combat during the Imperial Battle Team’s match against Shrek. 69 70
• Zhu Zhuqing — opponent during the Shrek Soul Fight; Zhu Zhuqing outmaneuvers Ye Lingling after Ye Lingling captures Ning Rongrong. Ye Lingling later assists in sustaining Zhu Zhuqing’s body-tempering process with Nine-Heart Begonia healing. 69 70 119
• Yu Tianheng — captain of the Imperial Battle Team; Ye Lingling is aware of his troubled relationship with Dugu Yan and supports Dugu Yan through it. 66 100
• Jing Ling — Blue Tyrant Team opponent; Ye Lingling, under Qian Ni’s control, severely damages his skeleton martial soul during their two-on-two fight. His injuries are later considered particularly suited to treatment by the Nine-Heart Begonia. 101 104 106 107
• Dugu Bo — the Dugu Clan patriarch’s backing was instrumental in the Ye Clan’s rise in Heaven Dou City. His subordination to Qian Ni leaves Ye Lingling’s family with far less independent political protection. 66 95 97
• Salas — the Platinum Bishop had secretly aided Ye Lengleng in securing the Ye Clan’s distributorship, but Ye Lingling’s family remained wary of his motives. Salas ultimately reveals his loyalty to Qian Ni. 96 97 98

Story Role / Major Arcs

Imperial Battle Team vs. Shrek

Ye Lingling partners with Dugu Yan in a two-on-two Soul Fight against Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. Shrek attempts to isolate her as the healer, but she defeats Ning Rongrong in a direct fight and takes her hostage. Zhu Zhuqing ultimately reaches her before she can secure victory for Dugu Yan. 67 69 70

After the match, she identifies the scent of exceptionally high-grade Whale Rubber on Zhu Zhuqing, leading Dugu Yan to investigate Shrek and Qian Ni further. 72

Celestial Potato Mine Incident

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan accidentally detonate Qian Ni’s Celestial Potato Mine. Qian Ni punishes them and later captures both girls while seeking compensation from their families. 74 86

She is brought to the Ye Clan’s residence as Qian Ni pursues the debt. Faced with Qian Ni’s power, Dugu Bo’s loss of authority, and the political pressure surrounding the Ye Clan, Ye Lingling’s mother considers aligning the family with Spirit Hall. 95 97 98

At the Ye residence, Salas’s kneeling declaration of loyalty to Qian Ni confirms that the Ye Clan cannot rely on Spirit Hall as an independent counterweight. The mother and daughter consequently become more deeply entangled in Qian Ni’s sphere of influence. 97 98

Qian-Ye Duo vs. Blue Tyrant Team

When Tai Long humiliates the Imperial Battle Team’s reserve squad and challenges Ye Lingling, Qian Ni accepts a two-on-two match on her behalf. At the time, Ye Lingling is a level thirty-seven Soul Master. 100

She heals the reserve team, withstands Jing Ling with the Lightning Pellets, and later defeats him through Qian Ni’s Rider’s Bridle-controlled combination technique. Qian Ni replenishes her depleted Soul Power through Entwined Branches afterward. 100 101 104

Her attack leaves Jing Ling’s skeleton martial soul extensively fractured, placing his martial-soul foundation at risk and forcing Blue Tyrant Academy to seek Nine-Heart Begonia treatment. 106 107

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Enhancement

After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ye Lingling undergoes body tempering with Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, and her mother. She absorbs the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, gaining greatly improved physical resilience and resistance to poisons and extreme elemental energies. 119

She subsequently absorbs a Lovesick Heartbreak Red, whose effects raise her Soul Power by eleven levels to level 48. The enhancement brings her to the same level as Dugu Yan and establishes her as one of Qian Ni’s Yin Extreme Celestial Immortals. 120

Star Dou Forest Fourth Soul Ring

Ye Lingling travels with the other Five Little Lackeys to the Star Dou Forest to acquire a fourth Soul Ring. After Qian Ni forces the world consciousness to cease interfering, the group completes their ring absorptions under unusually favorable conditions. 132 154

Ye Lingling receives a fourth Soul Ring of approximately fifty thousand years and reaches level 51 alongside Dugu Yan. Qian Ni later considers cultivating Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast resources, particularly Blue Silver Emperors, for Ye Lingling’s future Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Rings. 154 157
