This Girl Reminds Me of Myself—She Has the Makings of an Emperor!

"I didn't mean it like that!"

"I mean, legends and all that seem like things from a long, long time ago, but here you are, a Supreme Douluo, standing right in front of me!"

Ye Qingshui hurriedly waved her hands in explanation.

But even as she spoke,

she could not stop herself from glancing at Lu Xuan's face.

"And I never expected..."

"that you would be this handsome."

Lu Xuan snorted.

"Fake fan."

"Anyone who knows me knows I'm handsome as hell."

After all, he wielded a sword.

Whether he was strong depended on the current era.

But whether he was handsome was for life!

Ye Qingshui: "..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

The audience outside the Sky Screen: "..."

Someone could not help but complain.

"Uh, isn't the Supreme Douluo way too narcissistic?"

But someone immediately retorted.

"What's wrong with being narcissistic? Just tell me, is he handsome or not?"

"Exactly. At least the Supreme Douluo is in love with being handsome, unlike your friend here, who's in love with being ugly!"

Papal Palace.

Pope Bibi Dong covered her lips and smiled.

"Teacher is far too amusing."

"He clearly stands at the peak of the continent, yet he doesn't have even a trace of old-man energy."

Then again, it made sense.

Lu Xuan was only twenty-six this year!

Bibi Dong found the Sky Screen so captivating that, even though Chrysanthemum Douluo had sent word that he had found the Icefire Yin Yang Well, she was too lazy to set out for it right away.

Her own people were guarding it. It was not as though it could be stolen.

Who would dare steal something belonging to Spirit Hall?!

Sky Screen timeline—

Lu Xuan said seriously,

"Miss Ye Qingshui, I can tell at a glance that you have extraordinary bones and exceptional talent. You clearly have the potential to become a Titled Douluo, and your future achievements will be limitless. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Come be my laborer!

Even if it's just to improve your work efficiency, I'll pile resources on you until you become a Titled Douluo!

Of course,

Lu Xuan would not recklessly waste one of his limited slots for personal disciples.

As the owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul, a martial soul envied by heaven itself,

her luck and talent were both more than sufficient.

Before accepting Ye Qingshui as his disciple, Lu Xuan would also improve her aptitude.

He was truly curious.

When the legendary immortal herb capable of defying fate

collided with the heaven-envied Nine-Hearted Begonia,

what kind of marvelous chemical reaction would it produce?

Tsk.

Just thinking about it made him a little impatient.

It won't end with heavenly lightning striking me, will it?!

Besides,

if heavenly lightning really did strike...

Lu Xuan would be even more excited!

"Ah?"

Ye Qingshui looked at Lu Xuan blankly.

She pointed at herself.

"Me? You want to take me as your disciple?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

"That's right!"

"But I'm... just a healing-type soul master!"

"You don't want to?"

"Of course I do! But..."

Ye Qingshui said hesitantly,

"I need to ask my father what he thinks."

Lu Xuan nodded readily.

"Sure. I also want to meet the Nine-Heart Medical Sage."

"By the way, what is your father's cultivation level?"

"Peak Soul Saint."

Peak Soul Saint...

Lu Xuan calculated quietly.

With a Peak Soul Saint's healing capacity,

he should be able to regenerate severed limbs, right?

He would find out by asking!

Outside the Sky Screen,

the viewers who witnessed this scene were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"He really is taking a disciple!"

"The Ye Family head is so lucky! He's getting the same treatment as Her Holiness the Pope!"

"Jealous... Is it because of the Nine-Hearted Begonia?"

"Obviously. Is there anyone who accepts disciples without looking at their martial soul?"

"Did you forget? The Supreme Douluo has immortal herbs!"

"Immortal herbs can break through the limits of martial souls. Combined with an absurd martial soul like the Nine-Hearted Begonia, who knows what kind of monster it might create!"

"I have a vague premonition..."

"What premonition?"

"The continent's only Nine-Hearted Begonia Titled Douluo is about to be born!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire audience fell silent.

One had to know,

that like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda,

the Nine-Hearted Begonia came with an inherent martial soul restriction.

There had never been a Nine-Hearted Begonia Titled Douluo in history.

If a Nine-Hearted Begonia Titled Douluo truly appeared...

it would be a miracle unmatched across the continent!

Heaven Dou City, Ye Family.

Seeing that Lu Xuan merely wanted to take a disciple,

Ye Lingling could not help but sigh in relief.

"So he just wants to take her as a disciple... That's a relief."

"What did you think he wanted?"

"I thought he wanted to seduce..."

After sensing a burst of killing intent,

Ye Lingling instantly shut her mouth.

Yet Ye Qingshui did not hit her. Instead, she gently pulled her into an embrace.

"Silly child, no matter what happens to me in the Sky Screen's timeline, in this timeline, I will always be your mother..."

"Mom~"

Ye Lingling was deeply moved.

She said loyally,

"Then what are we waiting for? Give him to her!"

"Even if this timeline has a Supreme Douluo, I permit him to become my stepfather!"

The gentle look in Ye Qingshui's eyes...

gradually turned fierce!

"You little brat!"

"Even if you know that's impossible!"

"Is that any way to joke about your mother?!"

"Do your classmates know you're this mischievous?"

Ye Lingling clutched her head and cried out miserably.

"Ah, Mom, don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Papal Palace.

Pope Bibi Dong was somewhat unhappy.

Why was Lu Xuan accepting other disciples too?

No matter how rare the Nine-Hearted Begonia was,

could it compare to her twin Spider Emperor martial souls?

Sky Screen timeline—

Lu Xuan arrived at Ye Residence.

Ye Qingshui's father was named Ye Linchi. He was the current Nine-Heart Medical Sage, the Heaven Dou Royal Family's chief physician, and his status was equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo.

When Ye Linchi first met Lu Xuan, he was extremely cautious.

He requested to inspect Lu Xuan's martial soul.

Boom!

The Godslayer Sword appeared in response!

Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red! Red!

The nine Soul Rings left Ye Linchi utterly shocked!

Yet Lu Xuan only felt regret.

It was all because that useless disciple Bibi Dong had failed to live up to expectations. If she could complete Phase Mission Three and understand and make proper use of her own martial souls—

then all of his Soul Rings would have been at least ten thousand years old by now!

"As expected of Your Supreme Holiness!"

Ye Linchi bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan.

However, Lu Xuan used soul power to support him upright.

"Medical Sage, I wish to accept your daughter as my disciple. Would that be acceptable?"

"Let me make this clear in advance."

"I give gifts when I accept disciples."

Lu Xuan opened his storage soul tool.

His storage soul tool was similar to Dugu Bo's.

It could store living things.

Immortal herbs and the like could be preserved perfectly within it.

When Ye Linchi saw the immortal herbs Lu Xuan took out,

he could not help stepping forward.

"This is... an immortal-grade medicinal herb!"

"How old is it? At least ten thousand years, right?"

"No, at least ten thousand years, and at most one hundred thousand years!"

Lu Xuan took out a purple lingzhi mushroom.

"This is the Nine-Grade Purple Lingzhi. It can restore one's foundation, nourish one's essence, and break through cultivation bottlenecks. I am willing to give it to you, Medical Sage. There is a chance it will allow you to break through your peak Rank 79."

"As for Qingshui..."

"I'll give her the Qiluo Tulip."

"Let the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul undergo a qualitative transformation!"

The audience beneath the Sky Screen had already gone wild.

"A Supreme Douluo was truly generous!"

"He just gave away an immortal herb capable of defying fate!"

"Who could withstand the trial of an immortal herb?"

Yet, faced with the olive branch Lu Xuan had extended, Ye Linchi remained silent for a long while before refusing.

He gave a bitter laugh and said,

"Supreme Douluo, I'm sorry. I have reasons why I cannot agree."

"The Nine-Hearted Begonia is a martial soul envied by heaven. Its very nature is too powerful, which is why no more than two can exist at the same time."

"If it were to evolve further... neither humans nor gods would tolerate it!"

"It would incur heavenly punishment!"

This revelation was nothing short of shocking. The audience beyond the Sky Screen was utterly stunned and immediately plunged into heated discussion.

But Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. There really would be lightning strikes?

He was familiar with that setup.

Alchemy in Battle Through the Heavens came with Alchemy Tribulations.

Advancing soul power in Douluo came with Soul Tribulations too.

He could understand that!

How could one be considered strong without getting struck by lightning?

When the Seven-Kill Soul-Devouring Sword evolved into the Godslayer Sword,

he had already gone through it!

Sure enough.

His judgment was as good as his swordsmanship.

This woman was like him—she had the makings of a great emperor!
