Chapter 279: Ye Lingling's Feelings
Ye Lingling had a dream. In it, her life contained neither Dugu Feng nor the Dugu family.
When their Tiandou Royal Battle Team fought the Shrek Battle Team, captain Yu Tianheng had not died.
But after participating in the Soul Master Competition, the result was the same—they lost to the Spirit Hall.
The champions were actually the Shrek Battle Team, with Tang San becoming the center of attention.
Ye Lingling became anxious. Where was Dugu Feng? Where had he gone?
She searched everywhere, scouring all the crowds, but there was no sign of Dugu Feng.
After the competition ended, she hurried to ask her grandfather, learning that the Dugu family had vanished years ago. One day, the Dugu family mansion had seen a great battle, and no one survived.
Only branches of the family remained: Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling was distraught, refusing to accept it.
She asked Ning Rongrong, "Where has Dugu Feng gone?"
She found Ning Rongrong didn't even know who Dugu Feng was.
Ye Lingling was helpless. Her memories of Dugu Feng were so clear—he had given her celestial herbs, helping her cultivation soar. How could he suddenly disappear?
Finally, Ye Lingling remembered that after Dugu Feng broke through to Soul Emperor, he had taken her to the Ice and Fire Two Phenomena Eye to surpass the Martial Soul's limit.
Then they had taken a lovers' bath, merging together in the icy-hot spring.
Afterward, she absorbed another celestial herb, the Twin Lotus of One Stem, and then remembered nothing else.
Ye Lingling's spirit power constantly surged, struggling to fully awaken and open her eyes to look around.
But she only felt her spirit power, blood, Martial Soul, and soul power locked within an isolated space.
No matter how hard she cultivated or struggled, she couldn't break free.
Ye Lingling had a stubborn will. She refused to accept that in the same era, the Ye family had only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters—a cruel curse.
She was determined to break the curse.
Using her Martial Soul to its utmost, finally at that moment, all restraints shattered.
"Unfortunately, it was broken by external force and will never happen again."
Ye Lingling's spirit was foggy.
The consciousness appeared within her Martial Soul, and she sensed it more clearly.
The voice was ancient, vague, as if crossing the river of time.
Yet it also carried a trace of familiarity, making her feel close.
This external force must refer to Dugu Feng's help.
Ye Lingling directed her attention to her Martial Soul.
"Sacred Heart Twin Begonia!"
Her Martial Soul, made of two begonia flowers—one larger, one slightly smaller—had also changed colors, shifting from pure pink petals to a mix of pink and white.
Its healing abilities surged greatly, at least fifty percent stronger than before.
Ye Lingling suddenly realized her Martial Soul wasn't a life-type.
Everyone believed the Ye family's Martial Soul was life-attribute due to its strong healing, including Ye Lingling herself.
But now, she did not think so.
The evolved Sacred Heart Twin Begonia fundamentally healed injuries.
It was very different from other healing-type Martial Souls.
As to what attribute it truly was, Ye Lingling couldn't figure it out; she'd have to explore that later.
Opening her eyes, she immediately saw Dugu Feng.
"Dugu Feng!"
Ye Lingling rushed over and embraced him tightly.
In her dream, she had searched endlessly and despaired countless times.
Now awake, she realized how deeply she cared for Dugu Feng!
Dugu Feng looked a little stunned, then calmly said, "Senior sister, your passionate approach makes me lose control!"
"Mhm!"
Ye Lingling replied softly.
Her voice ethereal, almost seductive.
With the beauty in his arms and the light fragrance of begonia surrounding them, Dugu Feng recalled their wild time in the Ice and Fire Two Phenomena Eye spring.
Even more wildly, Ye Lingling was still completely naked!
Such a beauty curled closely in his embrace, like a prize waiting to be claimed.
Dugu Feng could hardly resist.
Now he wanted to taste her lips and play the dragon and phoenix dance.
The cave at the mid-mountain of the Ice and Fire Two Phenomena Eye grew dark.
Time passed—one night went by.
At dawn, on the mountainside platform, Dugu Feng held Ye Lingling in his arms seated on a lounger, watching the clouds roll through the valley.
Ye Lingling was new to intimacy, her rosy cheeks radiating a unique charm. Her face was rounder and more delicate than Ning Rongrong's.
"When your Martial Soul evolved, did you hear that mysterious voice too?" Ye Lingling asked.
Dugu Feng nodded. "I guess your Ye ancestors once had divine beings. Only gods have the strength to set bloodline restrictions!"
"Gods?"
Ye Lingling was stunned.
That was so mystical!
There were legends of gods on Douluo Continent, lately of the Sea God.
But still, only legends.
Many didn't even believe gods truly existed.
Suddenly, she was linked to gods?
"Stronger than level ninety-nine, if someone cultivates to level one hundred, they become a god. Gods can't stay long on the continent and must ascend to the Divine Realm.
And they are bound by Divine Realm's rules. The Killing City is the legacy place of the Asura God. The killing domain I have is a divine trial!"
Dugu Feng lazily lay there explaining to Ye Lingling.
This was his rare leisure time.
"Will you become a god in the future?" Ye Lingling asked, shocked again.
"Becoming a god isn't easy. That's still far for us. First, cultivate to Title Douluo to get more chances.
Senior sister, now that you've ingested two celestial herbs, your Martial Soul has evolved again. Your cultivation won't be slower than any other Soul Master.
When you reach Title Douluo, then you can consider breaking your restriction again," Dugu Feng pondered.
Confidence shone in Ye Lingling's eyes. That mysterious voice said no second time would come.
She didn't believe it.
The Ye family had suffered too much.
Only two Soul Masters per generation.
That curse had finally begun to break.
Now knowing the reason, Ye Lingling intended to break it completely.
She wanted to dig deeper, to understand why the restrictions were set.
"Dugu Feng, you've already passed the divine trial. No wonder you are the fastest genius in cultivation.
By the way, is that how Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul evolved too?"
Ye Lingling suddenly recalled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tower.
Its evolution to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower was revealed at the Soul Master Competition, causing a huge sensation.
Ning Rongrong became the most popular female Soul Master there.
She had once thought it was Ning Rongrong's talent.
But after all this, she believed it was Dugu Feng's help.
