Chapter 129: What Is Impossible About That? My Father Has Several Concubines, Doesn't He?
At this point, Ning Rongrong tilted her small head and looked at Lin Yuan. Half joking and half serious, she said, "I would bet that once my father finds out, he will definitely try every possible way to recruit you as his son-in-law!"
"You are a great benefactor who has practically recreated the future of our sect!"
Looking at the mischievous little witch in front of him, Lin Yuan curled the corner of his lips into a teasing smile.
"Oh? I can roughly guess what your father might be thinking."
"But what about you?"
"What do you think?"
Ning Rongrong blinked her lively eyes. Although her small face was still flushed red, she did not avoid the question.
She looked directly at Lin Yuan and answered frankly.
"If it is Brother Lin Yuan, then I do not mind."
"After all, someone as outstanding as you who treats me so well is incredibly hard to find."
However, a moment later, she frowned slightly and said, somewhat troubled,
"But Brother Lin Yuan, you were not even willing to join the sect before, let alone marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, right?"
Ning Rongrong knew her identity very well.
She was the only direct heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and carried the responsibility of inheriting the sect.
She was destined not to marry out. Her future partner could only marry into the sect.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's concern, Lin Yuan smiled.
"Yes, I am someone who has grown used to freedom. I cannot tolerate restrictions. Marrying into a sect is impossible for me. Absolutely impossible in this lifetime."
"But rules are dead. People are alive."
"I will not marry into your sect, but you can marry out."
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. She had not expected Lin Yuan to propose such a seemingly impossible idea.
"Brother Lin Yuan, you are really joking."
"If I marry out, what will happen to the sect?"
"But…"
Her eyes suddenly rolled mischievously as she grinned.
"If Brother Lin Yuan can convince my father, as well as Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, to agree, then I would not have any objections."
At this moment, Dugu Yan, beside them, could not help but interrupt.
With her arms folded, she looked at Ning Rongrong with a faint smile.
"Then you will probably be disappointed. Your father might waver because of Lin Yuan's talent and the favor he has done."
"But I doubt he would agree to let Lin Yuan marry several wives at the same time."
"You are the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the future sect master. How could you possibly become someone's secondary wife or share a husband with others?"
"If that spread out, where would the dignity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect go?"
Facing Dugu Yan's doubts, Ning Rongrong merely curled her lips, clearly unconcerned.
Born in a top-tier sect, although she was still young, she had grown up surrounded by the realities of this world and understood its rules more clearly than most people.
"What is impossible about that?"
Ning Rongrong retorted.
"My father is the sect master, yet he still married several concubines, didn't he?"
"In this world, the truth may be cruel, but the strong always have privileges."
"As long as Brother Lin Yuan becomes powerful enough to ignore all rules and worldly opinions…"
"Then what would the rest matter? By then, people would only envy us."
"Any negative voices would simply prove one thing. They are jealous."
"Besides, Brother Lin Yuan also has such a powerful master behind him. Even Grandpa Sword is wary of that existence. If we talk about background, who should fear whom?"
"As long as we are willing, who would dare say a single word against it?"
…
While the group was discussing their future "lifelong matters,"
Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu, who had been cultivating nearby, also gradually completed their absorption of the pills.
The black-and-white light around Ye Lingling slowly faded as she opened her eyes.
"Rank thirty-five… my soul power has reached rank thirty-five."
But that was not the most important thing.
At the moment when the pill was completely refined, she felt something deep within her martial soul suddenly break.
"The curse… has been broken."
Ye Lingling murmured softly, her voice trembling.
The curse that had plagued the Nine Heart Begonia family for countless generations, a restriction that allowed only two inheritors to exist at the same time, had finally been broken in her generation.
This meant that from now on, any of her descendants would have the possibility of awakening the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
She turned her head and looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with endless gratitude.
If not for her personality, she might have also wanted to kiss Lin Yuan like Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong had done.
But she could not bring herself to act so boldly.
She could only convey her silent thanks with those slightly moist eyes.
The last person to awaken was Xiao Wu.
The pill Lin Yuan prepared for her was specially customized.
It contained part of the dew from the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, as well as an immortal herb with spatial attributes called the "Ethereal Crystal Orchid."
In the original story, Xiao Wu's nine soul skills were extremely comprehensive.
She possessed powerful attack-type abilities like Waist Bow and Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop, as well as defensive abilities like Invincible Golden Body.
Among them, her second soul skill, Charm, belonged to the spiritual control category, while her third soul skill, Teleportation, was a rare spatial-type soul skill.
Since Xiao Wu, as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, could condense her own soul rings and determine the direction of her soul skills,
Lin Yuan naturally wanted to guide her future cultivation through this pill toward more promising and strategically valuable spiritual and spatial soul skills.
Especially spatial soul skills. When used properly, they were practically divine techniques.
"Brother!"
The moment Xiao Wu woke up, she excitedly rushed into Lin Yuan's arms.
Feeling the surging power within her body, her face was full of joy.
"I broke through! My soul power jumped from rank twenty-one directly to rank twenty-seven!"
"And I feel like my spiritual power has become much stronger. My perception of the surrounding space has also become sharper!"
…
That night, inside Lin Yuan's dormitory.
He sat cross-legged on the bed but did not immediately begin meditating.
Instead, his expression turned serious.
"Zilong."
Lin Yuan softly called into the empty air.
A ripple of silver light appeared in the air, and a heroic figure clad in silver armor materialized out of thin air.
Zhao Yun knelt on one knee. His gaze was firm, and his expression respectful.
"Your general is here."
Lin Yuan looked at this Ultimate Douluo who was completely loyal to him and smiled faintly.
Although Zhao Yun's strength had already reached rank ninety-nine, aside from his soul ring configuration, in other aspects, he was the same as the Titled Douluo of this era.
He did not possess a soul core.
In other words, Zhao Yun's strength could still advance even further.
If Zhao Yun could condense a soul core, his sustained combat ability and explosive power would reach an entirely new level.
"Zilong, I possess a method called the 'Attribute Soul Core Condensation Method.'"
"This method compresses the soul power within the body to an extreme degree, rotating and condensing it into a core."
"It can greatly increase your soul power recovery speed, allowing it to become endless, and it can also elevate the explosive strength of your attacks to another level."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his finger and gently pressed it against Zhao Yun's forehead.
