Ye Lingling

Power Progression

Background / History

Ye Family upbringing

Ye Lingling belongs to a modest noble household in Heaven Dou City. Her branch has produced only one child per generation, leaving few family members and limiting its influence despite possessing the renowned Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Her father died long before her introduction, and her mother, Ye Qingxian, raised her 46 63.

She was frail from childhood and usually had a pale complexion. Obtaining her first two Soul Rings did not substantially improve her constitution 46.

Star Dou Great Forest expedition

Ye Lingling meets Lin Qingchen while accompanying Qin Ming and the Imperial Fighting Team on a hunt for her Third Soul Ring. His account of losing his parents resonates with her own experience of bereavement 32 46.

When three smaller Rift Ruins Earth Dragons burst from a slain dragon’s corpse, one attacks her at close range. Lin Qingchen carries her to safety and blocks the attack with his arm. She immediately heals his injury, leaving no trace of the wound 33.

Later, she identifies a Tranquil Spirit Heart-Concentrating Orchid as a gentle, purely life-type Soul Beast. During the fight against its guardian, an Azure Wood Spirit Bear, she stays at the rear and restores the Shi Brothers while they defend the front line 39 40.

After the bear is defeated, she follows an ancestral text and swallows the orchid’s core instead of killing the plant outright for its ring. The method succeeds, granting her a purple Third Soul Ring and markedly improving her health. Ye Qingxian later warns that the technique had remained untested conjecture despite being recorded by their ancestors 41 42 46.

Arena training and academy competition

Ye Lingling and Lin Qingchen draw matching red balls during Qin Ming’s random pairing exercise and register as Qilin Begonia. She refuses to exchange partners with Dugu Yan. Their team name combines elements of the Five Elements Qilin and Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls 53.

Lin Qingchen defeats both opponents in their first match while she remains near the platform’s edge. This becomes their usual arrangement: if an opponent circles around to attack her, she jumps off rather than risk injury. Across more than forty undefeated matches, she is never hurt, but complains that she barely gets to participate because Lin Qingchen rarely needs healing 53 55.

She withdraws from the academy’s grand competition but continues supporting her teammates. After Lin Qingchen defeats Yu Tianheng, she treats Yu Tianheng’s injuries, then offers Lin Qingchen healing as well 57 58.

Growing relationship with Lin Qingchen

At her mother’s request, Ye Lingling invites Lin Qingchen home for a meal to thank him for saving her. During the visit, she is more talkative than usual, serves him food, and later accompanies him to the mouth of the alley when he leaves 46 58 63.

The following morning, she brings him an ancestral book after noticing his interest in it. She explains that the family keeps multiple copies, but has not actually told her mother about the gift. The book contains a Wonder Seed and subsequently merges with Lin Qingchen’s Book of Partial Understanding, upgrading it 64.

Over the next two years, their relationship develops until others regard them as a loving young couple. Ye Qingxian approves after observing Lin Qingchen’s character and is thoroughly satisfied with him as her daughter’s partner 65.

Appearance

• Hair: Blue 32.
• Face: Fair skin, a delicate narrow face, a slender nose, and a small mouth; her appearance gives a cool, serene impression 38.
• Signature accessory: A veil covering the lower half of her face, which she removes to sleep or eat 37 38 64.
• Complexion: Usually pale before consuming the orchid’s core; noticeably rosier afterward 41 42.
• Clothing at home: Wears a pale cyan skirt and pins up her hair with a plain silver hairpin when welcoming Lin Qingchen 63.

Personality

Ye Lingling is reclusive, soft-spoken, and drawn to peaceful surroundings. Early in the Imperial Fighting Team’s formation, she is not particularly close to most members; Dugu Yan is the teammate she knows best. Lin Qingchen’s preference for seclusion makes her feel that he understands her 33 37 52.

Her affection is often expressed through practical care rather than direct declarations. She repeatedly offers Lin Qingchen healing even when he is unhurt, notices his interest in her family’s book, and brings it to him the next morning. Around him she frequently blushes or twists her skirt sash, though she becomes more relaxed and conversational at home 41 58 63 64.

Despite her reserved manner, she can be firm about what she wants. She immediately refuses Dugu Yan’s attempt to exchange arena partners and defends her decision to trust the ancestral orchid-consumption method when her mother questions its safety 46 53.

Abilities & Skills

Nine Heart Begonia — Healing

• Releases fragrant, petal-like white light that restores injuries; Lin Qingchen’s wounded arm heals completely in moments 33.
• Can support multiple allies at once, as demonstrated when she sends separate rays of healing light to both Shi Brothers 40.
• Rapidly treats Yu Tianheng after he is struck by Lin Qingchen’s Five Elements Divine Lightning 57 58.
• Possesses only one Soul Skill, Healing, regardless of the number of Soul Rings acquired. Further rings increase its effectiveness rather than unlock distinct skills 42.
• Her Third Soul Ring increases Healing’s range and strength, but does not grant the orchid’s separate calming and concentration effect 42 47.

Recorded Talents

• Plane Curse: Identified when Lin Qingchen examines her talents with the Book of Talents; its specific mechanics are not described in the supplied account 36.
• Ultimate Healing: Also identified by the Book of Talents 36.

Ancestral Knowledge

• Recognizes the Tranquil Spirit Heart-Concentrating Orchid and explains its peaceful nature, pure life Soul Power, and lack of offensive or defensive abilities 39.
• Uses her family’s recorded method to locate and consume its core, successfully obtaining a Soul Ring 41.
• Her family’s records suggest that the core, used in harmony with Nine Heart Begonia, may alleviate a withering bloodline. Her improved health is observed, but a complete cure is not established 46 47.

Relationships

• Lin Qingchen — Rescuer, Qilin Begonia teammate, and eventual romantic partner. Their shared experiences of losing family and preference for quiet help draw her toward him 33 46 52 65.
• Ye Qingxian — Mother and Ye Family head. Raised Lingling after her father’s death, worries about her fragile health, and supports her relationship with Lin Qingchen 46 65.
• Dugu Yan — Her closest early friend on the Imperial Fighting Team. Teases her about Lin Qingchen while also expressing interest in him herself; two years later, she still interacts with the couple, though less openly than before 37 53 65.
• Qin Ming — Teacher and team mentor. Leads the hunt for her Third Soul Ring and reassures her about the value of Nine Heart Begonia when she regrets missing the orchid’s other potential effects 32 42.
• Guo Jing / Aunt Jing — Trusted longtime household member who has watched her grow up 46.
