Background

Ye Lingling was born to ordinary parents outside the Nine Hearted Begonia Family. Her father had awakened no Soul Power and should have been executed by the family, but his maternal grandparents saved him by arranging a substitute; he later married and had Ye Lingling outside the clan. Her awakening of the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul exposed her existence to the family. 77

She spent her early childhood with her parents until they died in what appeared to be an accident. The Nine Hearted Begonia Family then took her in, gave her resources and attention, and treated her as an inheritor—until she learned at age twelve that her parents and grandparents had been killed by her own clansmen. The family regarded holders of the Nine Hearted Begonia as tools for elevating their branch's influence and would have killed her had she attempted to flee. 77

By the time she joined the Heaven Dou Battle Team, Ye Lingling had become its healer. Her cultivation difficulties brought her to Shi Quan for guidance, since both possessed plant-type Martial Souls. Their cooperation later produced the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Wrath of the God of Life. 46 68 70

Appearance

Ye Lingling commonly wears a veil, though her cold and beautiful face remains visible through it. She is described as having the beauty of an “iceberg goddess,” accompanied by a lonely and desolate bearing. 68

• Her original Nine Hearted Begonia is a graceful pink flower with white-and-pink petals. 46
• Her later water-blue Nine Nether Begonia increases the humidity of the surrounding air upon summoning. 234
• After fusing with the Ice and Snow Empresses, her appearance becomes more pure and exquisite. 266

Personality

Ye Lingling is quiet, reserved, and composed. Her withdrawn manner stems from the loss of her parents and the discovery that her clan had murdered them. 71 77

Despite this trauma, she remains courteous toward respected seniors and calm when Dugu Yan teases her about Shi Quan. 70 76 She becomes increasingly determined as her strength grows, accepting dangerous Spirit Soul fusions, the Sea God's inheritance, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's submission without hesitation. 265 277 359
