Xiao Wu: I won't allow it!

"Although we have escaped the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia, the price we paid was far too heavy."

Qin Ming stepped forward with a troubled expression and said...

Nine Heart Begonia is one of the important pillars of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Its unparalleled healing ability is enough to make other high-level Soul Master Academy teams despair.

Before the match even started, the Imperial Fighting Team had already crippled itself.

This made Qin Ming, who was responsible for training the Imperial Fighting Team, feel a chill run down his spine.

How should he explain this to the three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

"Xu Yuan, the ability of your Martial Soul..."

Qian Renxue was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What Qin Ming was worried about was nothing to Qian Renxue.

She herself didn't value the Heaven Dou Royal Academy too much.

Rather than saying that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's territory, it would be more accurate to say that the three members of the Education Committee have sided with the Crown Prince.

As long as she doesn't cause too much trouble and can smoothly ascend to the throne, she doesn't care about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

What truly deserved her attention was Xu Yuan's Martial Soul ability.

You might think the Wish-Granting Tree isn't very powerful, but it can actually change other people's Martial Soul, turning them from healing-type to Food System.

Let alone Xu Yuan, who is Soul Grandmaster, even her grandfather, the Peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu, who is known as the invincible one in the sky.

It's easy to kill a Soul Master with level 99 Soul Power, but it's absolutely impossible to change a Soul Master's Martial Soul.

You say the Wish-Granting Tree has powerful abilities, but it turned a top-tier healing-type Martial Soul into an ordinary Food-type Martial Soul.

For a moment, Qian Renxue didn't know how to describe Xu Yuan's Martial Soul.

"Fine!"

"This is my wish, and it has nothing to do with Xu Yuan's Martial Soul."

Ye Lingling's mood shifted from heavy to relieved.

"The Wish-Granting Tree did what I've always wanted to do."

Ye Lingling's expression was calm. She removed Dugu Yan's hands that were supporting her and stood up straight.

"The Ye Clan is a hereditary noble family in Heaven Dou City, and they take pride in their family's inherited Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."

Everyone envies the miracle of our Ye Clan's Martial Soul.

"But I have rarely seen my mother smile since I was born."

"She always looked melancholy, liked to wear black dresses, and was like a shadow."

"I used to think my mother's personality was just like that, but..."

Ye Lingling was silent for a moment, then looked up at the Starry Sky and said, "When I was five years old, my mother fell seriously ill."

She said that she and I were lucky because fate made the choice for us.

"I don't have to suffer the pain she went through!"

"At first, I didn't understand what she meant. But as I grew older, I gradually came to understand that the Nine Heart Begonia is not only a miracle, but also a shackle."

Countless stars shone brightly in the deep night Starry Sky. Ye Lingling couldn't remember the last time she had looked at the Starry Sky like this.

She said somewhat absentmindedly, "Later, I found the truth in a diary in my mother's study."

"The diary says that the inheritance of Martial Soul is extremely important to the Ye Clan, and it is the foundation upon which the Ye Clan relies to establish itself in Heaven Dou City."

"The previous holder of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was my grandfather, and his cultivation aptitude wasn't particularly good."

"Although he inherited the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, his Innate Soul Power is the worst in the Ye Clan's recorded history."

"Therefore, in the year I was born, for the sake of the family's interests, my grandfather voluntarily passed away at the urging of the clan elders."

"My mother's initial idea was simply to have more children to fulfill my grandfather's wish to see his grandchildren; she didn't necessarily want me to inherit the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."

"But she never expected something like that to happen..."

"The healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia is linked to its Soul Power; the higher the Soul Power Level, the stronger the healing ability!"

"Therefore, I was born early enough to have ample time to increase my Soul Power Level."

"Otherwise, before the previous generation has even made a name for themselves, the next generation will already be born."

Ye Lingling took a deep breath and turned to look at Xu Yuan, saying, "I want to break the family's curse, but..."

"I wouldn't dare!" Ye Lingling laughed self-deprecatingly.

The Wish-Granting Tree desires a swift and decisive solution, but if you actually let her do it herself, that's a different story.

Ye Lingling removed the black veil covering her face, revealing the girl's exquisitely beautiful face.

Her skin was as white as jade, and her lips were a natural pale pink. She was beautiful in a quiet way, yet with a delicate fragility.

"Xu Yuan, thank you..." Ye Lingling said, leaning closer.

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Wu coughed as she walked past the two of them.

"Cough cough cough... It's so dark tonight! The moon is so white! Could you two please move a little further apart?"

Why not just say thank you? Why then lift your veil and get so close to Xu Yuan? What are you trying to do?!

Xiao Wu remembered her mother saying that love can make people blind and cause them to abandon everything!

She used to think that sentence was very romantic.

Fall in love with someone, and then the two of you disregard worldly conventions, abandon everything, elope, and live happily ever after.

However, she no longer has that thought.

The mere thought of Xu Yuan dating someone else, then abandoning her and running off with him made her head spin!

That's an investment worth two, or even three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

She, Sister Xiao Wu, absolutely would not allow this significant investment to go to waste!

"I'm sorry!" Ye Lingling said apologetically.

"You know... Waaaaaah... Xu Yuan... stationed here... I'm doomed..."

Xiao Wu's fair and tender cheeks were kneaded by Xu Yuan's hands, changing shape at will like dough.

"Pfft..." Ye Lingling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiao Wu covering her face, and handed her a bright white crabapple.

"Thanks!"

Xiao Wu rubbed her smooth cheeks, squinted, and bit into a crabapple, indicating that she would dare to do it again next time.

The crabapple melted in her mouth like a warm current, instantly restoring Xiao Wu's vitality.

"But how are you going to explain this to your family?"

Yu Tianheng's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.

He stared intently at Ye Lingling, as if trying to find the answer in her.

Yu Tianheng wasn't just asking Ye Lingling, but also himself.

Since being severely Demon Pill by Dugu Yan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has not received any preferential treatment on the surface.

But rumors and gossip were already flying everywhere behind the scenes.

Some cultivation resources are being directed towards his cousin, Yu Tianxin.

Yu Tianheng could understand the family's actions, but he was worried that the damage to his Demon Pill would affect the inheritance of the next generation.

But he couldn't accept his family's indifferent attitude.

He was severely injured by Dugu Yan, yet his family still wanted him to continue his original mission: to win over the Poison Douluo.

Yu Tianheng was filled with resentment, yet there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, he asked Ye Lingling, hoping to get some answers from her.

"I will take full responsibility for the family's accountability," Ye Lingling said softly.

"Don't be so pessimistic, your crabapples are quite good."

"If all else fails, follow Sister Xiao Wu all over the country. If Sister Xiao Wu gets a bite of carrot, you'll get a bite of carrot leaf!"

Xiao Wu patted Ye Lingling's shoulder generously.

Dating is out of the question, but adventuring in mainland China is!

Everyone around twitched at the corner of their mouths upon hearing this.

"You're so stingy."

"Besides, with my grandfather around, who in Heaven Dou City would dare to mess with Lingling!"

Dugu Yan was somewhat speechless, but remained very loyal.

"Alright, alright, the wishing segment is over."

"If you want to use Xu Yuan's Martial Soul again in the future, remember to bring Gold Soul Coin to make a reservation."

Xiao Wu stretched and prepared to go back to hug Xu Yuan and cultivate.

"I don't think anyone will use the Wish-Granting Tree Martial Soul to make a wish anymore."

Dugu Yan rubbed her stained fingernails and sneered.

Even if you want to make a wish, you'll have to wait until next month.

Xiao Wu rubbed her nose. Let alone next month, it's uncertain whether the two of them will even be there next week.

In any case, Xiao Wu didn't sense that Xu Yuan intended to linger.

"Heh..." Dugu Yan sneered, then looked at Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, you gave me two fruits, but I didn't even get to taste what your Martial Soul tastes like."

"The crabapple blossoms with nine hearts, bearing glistening white fruit!"

"The crabapple tree attracts other plants, its green leaves bearing fruit!"

Ye Lingling used two Soul Skill in succession, and the branches of the Blue Silver Begonia gradually became covered with bright white and green fruits.

Those present took some crabapples to eat.

Xu Yuan took a bite of the bluish-green fruit; it was slightly sweet and had a fresh, grassy fragrance.

As it enters the throat, it transforms into a warm, smooth, and cool current, stimulating every part of the body and giving one an invigorating feeling.

"Mmm, Lingling, your crabapples are so delicious!"

Dugu Yan took a bite of the Green Begonia Fruit, and the vitality and coolness contained within the fruit washed over her entire body.

She shivered involuntarily, as if she had encountered a cool spring on a hot summer day, and her whole being came back to life.

"Yanyan, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

"No, it's really to my liking! Especially the green crabapples, Bingbing cool."

Dugu Yan looked at the others, puzzled, not understanding why they didn't feel the same way.

"My Second Soul Ring comes from a hundred-year-old Azure Jade Toad. Its effect is to purify negative status effects and detoxify."

At this point, Ye Lingling felt that life is unpredictable.

The Nine Heart Begonia, which possesses a detoxification ability that even nine Soul Ring cannot acquire, can now be solved with its second Soul Skill.

"However, in terms of texture and taste, the White Begonia Fruit is better, isn't it?"

"Really? But I still think the Green Begonia Fruit tastes better!"

Dugu Yan even gives people a feeling of being unable to put her down.

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly realizing the reason.

The others didn't notice and assumed that Dugu Yan had a particular preference for this flavor.
