Chapter 45:Natal Soul Ring?
"I'm used to it! I'm super used to it!" Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes. "Brother Ye and the others are so good to me!"
Xue Qinghe nodded and turned to Ye Xuanming, "Brother Ye, thank you for taking care of Rongrong."
"Your Highness, you are too kind." Ye Xuanming bowed respectfully. "It is only right that I take care of Rongrong."
Xue Qinghe carefully examined Ye Xuanming, secretly admiring him.
It hadn't been long since they last met, but Ye Xuanming's demeanor had become even more composed, and the fluctuations of his soul power had become even more profound.
"Brother Ye, could we have a private chat?" Xue Qinghe asked.
Ye Xuanming nodded in agreement, and the two walked to a corner of the training field.
...
Much later.
"Brother Ye, today's conversation has been very fruitful," Xue Qinghe said sincerely. "If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Xuanming bowed and expressed his gratitude.
After Xue Qinghe left, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Xuanming, what do you think is the Crown Prince's real purpose in coming here?"
"What else could it be? Of course, they want to win me over," Ye Xuanming said directly.
Ning Rongrong blinked. "Brother Crown Prince is a very good person, why don't you agree to his request?"
"Rongrong, things are complicated here." Ye Xuanming patted her head. "Agreeing now might not be a good thing."
Ye Lingling seemed to understand something. "Xuanming is right. Taking sides too early makes you an easy target."
"Anyway, I only listen to Xuanming," Dugu Yan said domineeringly. "I don't care about whether he's the crown prince or not."
...
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the backyard of the Ye family mansion, four large wooden barrels were neatly arranged, and the medicine inside emitted a familiar smell.
Ye Xuanming walked over carrying a bowl of whale jelly, his brows furrowed.
This is already a high-quality, thousand-year-old whale glue, but its effect on his health is getting smaller and smaller.
"It's that smell again." Dugu Yan took her share, her face full of helplessness. "It's been half a year, and I'm almost immune to this smell."
Ye Lingling had the same expression, "Indeed, I don't feel so bad after drinking it now."
Ning Rongrong did have some reaction, after all, she used millennium whale glue.
The little girl pinched her nose, looking miserable.
"When can I stop drinking this?"
"When you're no longer afraid of this smell," Dugu Yan said gloatingly, "then you'll know that something even more terrifying is coming."
"What's even scarier?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Ye Xuanming smiled wryly, "This thing is useless to you now."
The three of them drank the whale sac in one gulp and then jumped into their respective barrels.
But this time, Ye Xuanming clearly felt that the effect was much worse than before.
His soul power had just broken through level 30, and in theory there should be more room for improvement, but the effect of the ten-thousand-year whale glue on him was already negligible.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were in similar situations, with their soul power reaching levels 37 and 35 respectively.
Only Ning Rongrong is still making steady progress. The little girl's soul power has reached level sixteen, which is considered very fast among her peers.
"It seems the effects of whale glue have really run out."
Ye Xuanming stood up from the wooden tub and stretched his body, but unfortunately, the whale glue was no longer of much use.
Unless you obtain whale glue that is over 50,000 years old, or even 100,000 years old, but that's basically wishful thinking.
"So what do we do next?" Dugu Yan asked.
Ye Xuanming pondered for a moment, "I plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for my third soul ring."
"Star Dou Great Forest?" Dugu Yan's eyes widened. "Xuanming, are you crazy? That place is too dangerous!"
Ye Lingling also became nervous, "Xuanming, there are many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Ning Rongrong grabbed Ye Xuanming's arm and said, "Brother Ye, I won't let you go! What if you encounter danger?"
Ye Xuanming patted her little head, "Rongrong, be good, I'm just going to the outer perimeter, I won't go in."
"That won't do!" Dugu Yan firmly objected. "If we're going, we'll go together!"
"Yanzi, you and Lingling haven't reached level 30 yet, so you won't be able to help even if you go," Ye Xuanming advised. "Besides, both of you have special arrangements for your third soul rings, so you don't need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Although Ye Lingling was worried, she still analyzed rationally: "Xuanming is right, we really can't help if we go now."
"But…" Dugu Yan still wanted to argue.
"No buts." Ye Xuanming shook his head. "Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, Rongrong, believe me."
Ning Rongrong pouted, "Then how long will it take for you to come back, Brother Ye?"
"At most one month," Ye Xuanming assured.
Although Dugu Yan was unwilling, she knew that Ye Xuanming's decision was hard to change. "Then you must be careful. Run away if you encounter danger. Soul rings and such are not important."
Ye Lingling gently took Ye Xuanming's hand, "We'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay." Ye Xuanming nodded. "I'll prepare in the next few days and we'll set off in three days."
Three days later, in the early morning, in front of the Ye residence.
Ye Xingyue had already prepared everything Ye Xuanming would need for the journey. "Xuanming, be careful on the road. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, come back."
"Okay, Aunt Ye." Ye Xuanming took the package. "I'll be back soon."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood to the side, their faces filled with reluctance.
"Xuanming, remember to send us a message every day," Dugu Yan instructed.
"Definitely," Ye Xuanming promised.
Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Xuanming's waist, burying her face in his chest, "Brother Ye, I can't bear to part with you."
Ye Xuanming patted her pink hair. "Good girl, your brother will be back soon."
After bidding farewell to everyone, Ye Xuanming embarked on his journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After leaving Tiandou City, Ye Xuanming did not head directly to the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead changed course and headed towards Notting City.
After walking for most of the day, Ye Xuanming found a secluded place to rest. Just then, a gentle voice resounded in his heart.
"Xuanming, thank you."
Ye Xuanming was taken aback. "A-Yin? What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for taking me to see Tang San."
Ah Yin's voice carried a hint of gratitude.
"Although I am just a soul now, I still want to see how my children are doing."
Ye Xuanming smiled wryly, "I thought you had forgotten about this."
"How could I forget?" Ah Yin sighed softly.
"As a mother, how could I not miss my child? Although I can no longer acknowledge him, I at least want to see him one last time."
"I understand." Ye Xuanming nodded. "Then consider it a way to relax."
Ah Yin was silent for a moment, then said, "Xuanming, in exchange, I can do something for you."
"What is it?" Ye Xuanming asked curiously.
"I can guide you to the Blue Silver Forest and help you awaken the Blue Silver Grass's innate soul ring," Ah Yin's voice was tinged with mystery.
After all, Ah Yin wouldn't let Ye Xuanming make a sacrifice for nothing.
Now that Ye Xuanming possesses the Blue Silver Territory, he is safe and secure, and can certainly go.
His colleague also wanted to see how the original protagonist was doing, and also to check on Grandpa Matthew.
