"You're my child with Yanyan?"
Ye Lingling's little mouth fell open in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
After getting out of bed, Ye Ling stood half a head taller than her.
"Yes. Look, my Martial Soul is Nine Heart Begonia."
"In my world, Mom sought death of her own accord so I could awaken this Martial Soul..."
Ye Ling sniffled, his eyes instantly reddening.
"That's not right. Shouldn't it have been my mother who sought death?"
Ye Lingling blinked her adorably vacant eyes and asked with a peculiar expression.
Nine Heart Begonia had only one inheritor per generation, and only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters could be alive at the same time. Only when one died could another appear.
Precisely for that reason, it was always the previous generation's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul bearer who sought death.
"Ah... so that's how it works?"
"All right, I'll confess. Actually, Mom, you didn't die, and neither did Mom's mom. My Martial Soul mutated, and that's how the world's third Nine Heart Begonia appeared."
Ye Ling began explaining his Martial Soul's effects.
[Character panel: Ye Ling] Level: 30 (For convenience, aside from Tang Li, whose age is currently set at eighteen, all the other clones are the same age as Tang San, because being level 50 at twelve would stand out too much.) Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia (accompanied by a Jade Phosphorus Snake; can transform into Jade Phosphorus Begonia, converting healing into poison) Talent: Nine-Star Poison Healing (the comfort accompanying your healing will be amplified one hundredfold) Conceptual Divine Artifact: Yin-Yang Twin Birth Mirror (Yin 6)
"That's how it is. Perhaps because my Martial Soul can convert healing into poison, I became the world's third bearer of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
Ye Ling spoke with a pretense of contemplation.
"Try healing me!"
Ye Lingling's little face scrunched up. She still found it hard to believe that Ye Ling could actually be her future child with Yanyan. Yanyan was clearly a girl, and her own heart had long since died in the past.
"All right. I'll try to go easy."
Ye Ling summoned his Martial Soul and shot out a beam of white light.
"Mmm~"
The moment Ye Ling's beam struck her, Ye Lingling flushed crimson and collapsed limply into his arms, her delicate body still trembling now and then.
"Mmph~"
Ye Lingling's eyes rolled back. She felt as though that tingling, numbing sensation would make her pass out from pleasure!
That comfort, reaching straight into her soul, felt a hundred times better than sinking into a comfortable bath after a hard day's work!
"Mmm~"
Ye Lingling hugged Ye Ling's waist, rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, and murmured with her eyes closed.
"My dear Mom, why do you think I was lying in bed when you first came in?"
Smiling, Ye Ling scooped Ye Lingling up in a princess carry and gently laid her on the bed.
Looking at Ye Lingling's flushed cheeks and slightly parted pink lips, Ye Ling once again felt that his talent was rather indecent.
Good thing he was a decent person~
Ye Ling lay down beside Ye Lingling on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Since he had exercised some restraint this time, Ye Lingling would recover in an hour at most...
"Mom, let me become the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass."
Blue Sky crouched down and gently wound his fingers around Ah Yin's blades.
Ah Yin touched Blue Sky's hand, then the little plant suddenly flailed wildly!
"I am a born king."
Blue Sky's golden eyes lit up. Though his body was naked, he still looked imposing and extraordinary.
[Character panel: Blue Sky] Level: 30 (His true form is a zero-year-old stalk of Blue Silver Grass, forcibly transformed into human form through the system's intervention) Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass (golden mutation) Talent: Divine Kingdom of Order (Are day and night equal? Are the righteous and sinners equal? If people are born weak-which god should the weak seek peace from? I have learned of your resolve. Now, I grant you all the right to look directly at the sun.) Conceptual Divine Artifact: Yin-Yang Twin Birth Mirror (Yin 7)
"I will bring eternal order to the Blue Silver Grass Clan!"
Blue Sky spoke earnestly.
The little blades fell silent for a moment, then wound tightly around Blue Sky's fingers.
"All right. I'll take you away, back to Blue Silver Forest."
The corners of Blue Sky's mouth lifted slightly as he wrapped himself in Blue Silver Grass, making do with clothes that kept his private parts covered.
He cut open his arm, planted Ah Yin inside, then headed out of the cave.
Of course, picking up the free Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was no trouble either!
Sure enough, the stronger the bloodline I expend, the better the resulting talent's effects.
A pity. Without the side effect, this talent would be perfect.
[Character panel: Ning Jiao] Level: 30 Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Seal Talent: Saintess Killer (damage dealt to females increases by 1,000%; cannot deal damage to males) Conceptual Divine Artifact: Yin-Yang Twin Birth Mirror (Yin 8)
Ning Jiao shook his head with a sigh. His name had been taken from Yin Jiao, the second owner of the Heaven-Overturning Seal.
Don't ask why it wasn't Guang Chengzi. He had discovered that Guang Chengzi's name didn't go very well with the surname Ning.
"I want that candied hawthorn skewer. Buy it for me!"
With her arms folded across her chest and her little face raised, Ning Rongrong looked at the pink-haired boy behind her, who was her height and looked very much like her.
This boy claimed to be her son. She had nearly laughed herself to death!
Was she supposed to have started having children the moment she was born?!
Compared with that claim, Ning Rongrong thought it much more likely that he was her younger twin brother!
Perhaps her Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone simply preferred girls and had therefore thrown Ning Jiaojiao out!
Ning Rongrong pondered, changing Ning Jiao's name along the way.
"What money do I have?"
Ning Jiao spread his hands helplessly. He had failed to foist himself on Mom, only to have her foist herself on him instead. What else could he say but, as expected of you, Ning Rongrong!
"Hmph. Call me Big Sister, and I'll buy it for you."
Ning Rongrong raised her little face smugly and teasingly waved the little purse in her hand at Ning Jiao.
Hey, hey. You won't let me call you Mom, but you want me to call you Big Sister?
Ning Jiao pursed his lips, but kindly granted the little girl's wish anyway.
"Big Sister~"
Ning Jiao put on a smiling face and called out sweetly.
"Such a good boy~"
"Big Sister will buy you something tasty~"
Grinning, Ning Rongrong patted Ning Jiao's head and generously bought five candied hawthorn skewers!
"Thank you, Big Sister!"
"Big Sister, what are we here for?"
Ning Jiao asked despite knowing the answer.
"I heard there's a Shrek Academy nearby. Admissions start in a few days, and I plan to go take a look."
With a mischievous smile, Ning Rongrong pinched Ning Jiao's cheek and spoke of her goal without concealing it in the slightest.
"Oh~"
"I want to go with you too, Big Sister."
"I'll protect you, Big Sister!"
Ning Jiao clenched his fists earnestly.
"Is your Martial Soul the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously. She could sense an affinity with Ning Jiao, and with their similar appearances as well, she had essentially decided that he was related to her.
"Hehe, take a guess~"
Ning Jiao smiled mysteriously. When the entrance exam comes, I'll show you all just how powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile is when it smashes people!
Wait! Wasn't he only able to damage females?!
