Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 2 Ye Family Heritage
Near noon, the outline of Tiandou City finally appeared on the horizon.

It was a magnificent city and the center of the empire. There were even more than a hundred guards at the city gate.

Tight security, this was Gu Feng’s first impression.

Because of his parents' accident, Gu Rong doted on Gu Feng to the extreme and never allowed him to leave Qibao City since he was a child.

So, this is also Gu Feng’s first time to come to Tiandou City.

Arriving at the city gate, the guard held out his hand: "Please show your identity. If you are from another country, please pay here to apply for a temporary residence permit."

Fortunately, Gu Feng was well prepared. He took out the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect token that he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

When the guards saw the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect pattern on the token, their faces suddenly changed, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes, and they looked at each other.

The leading guard swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Young Master, I'm so sorry, could you please release your martial spirit to prove your identity?

It’s no wonder they are so cautious, there have been too many outrageous things happening in the past.

Impersonation is a small matter, but I am afraid that someone will kill and seize the order. If they are found out, they will be in trouble.

Gu Feng frowned, and a terrifying shadow of a bone dragon slowly emerged behind him, shrouded in dark mist, looking extremely captivating.

"Bone Dragon Martial Spirit!"

Upon seeing this martial soul, even if the leading guard was dumb, he understood how noble the identity of the person in front of him was.

He quickly made way for me: "Young Master, please come this way."

Wait until Gu Feng's figure disappears at the city gate.

The guards heaved a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Fortunately, we didn't offend this young master."

You should know that the Bone Dragon Martial Spirit is the Martial Spirit of Bone Douluo, the guardian of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Possessing this martial soul and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect token, the identity of the young man just now is obviously about to be revealed.

……

Gu Feng walked and stopped along the way, asked for directions, and soon found the residence of Yixin Hou.

This is a magnificent mansion with two stone lions standing in front of the gate, looking majestic.

"Dong dong dong."

With some anticipation, Gu Feng raised his hand and gently knocked on the slightly old door in front of him.

But after a moment, a burst of hurried and detailed footsteps came from inside the door, and then the door was slowly and cautiously opened a corner.

A young, pretty and lovely little girl appeared behind the door. She was petite, with most of her body tucked behind the door, leaving only her fair little face exposed.

The most eye-catching thing is her neatly cut short silver hair, which sparkles with a soft luster under the sunlight and looks extremely eye-catching.

She tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes full of vigilance and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness. She asked softly, "Are you... are you okay?"

Gu Feng had a gentle smile on his face and asked in a gentle voice, "Hello, little friend, is your adult home?"

Hearing this, the little girl shrank back cautiously, and asked in obvious alertness: "Why are you asking this?
Realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood something, Gu Feng began to explain, "I am a disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I came here to discuss something with your family."

As he said that, he hurriedly took out the token of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect from his arms and handed it to the little Loli.

The little Loli looked at the token carefully, and her heart finally settled down. She relaxed a little and gestured for Gu Feng to come in.

On the way to the main hall with Gu Feng, the little Loli remained silent.

Gu Feng casually asked, "By the way, my name is Gu Feng. What's your name? What's your martial soul?"

"Ye Lingling, you don't have a martial soul." The little Loli didn't even turn her head, her attitude still so cold.

"Ye Lingling..." Gu Feng repeated silently in his heart, and then suddenly reacted.

The indifferent little loli in front of him was actually Ye Lingling, who possessed the top healing spirit Nine-Heart Begonia in the original novel.

Wait, no martial soul?
impossible?

Gu Feng wanted to ask again, but when he looked up and met Ye Lingling's cold eyes, he didn't ask anymore.

Not long after walking, an ancient and elegant house came into view.

The small window in front of the house was half-open. Through the narrow gap, one could vaguely see a plump and beautiful woman in the house, standing by the medicine stove, concentrating on cooking the medicine soup.

The beautiful woman's face was pale and weak, and she looked like a sick beauty.

"Here we are. I'm leaving now."

Ye Lingling's voice was cold. After saying this, she turned around and prepared to walk into the next room.

At this moment, a gentle yet somewhat weak voice came from afar: "Lingling, come here and help mom bring the medicine soup."

"Okay." Ye Lingling paused and turned back into the house.

Ye Qingqiu wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, looked up and saw a young man standing in front of the door, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise: "Hey! Lingling, why didn't you tell me in advance that you brought your friends back? Mom didn't even prepare in advance." Ye Lingling was about to explain, but when her eyes met the long-lost smile on her mother's face, she swallowed back the words on her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say it out loud.

"Hello, little friend, what's your name?" Ye Qingqiu asked softly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Gu Feng." Gu Feng bowed slightly and responded politely.

"Gu Feng..." Ye Qingqiu muttered softly, his eyes full of admiration, "What a nice and special name."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ye Lingling, her eyes filled with relief, and murmured to herself, "That's great! Our Lingling has finally made friends and is no longer alone. It seems that from now on, I can feel a little more at ease..."

As Ye Qingqiu spoke, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, as if the huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had finally fallen to the ground.

Ye Lingling's delicate big eyes were filled with tears at some point. She lowered her head deeply, trying to hide her emotions.

Gu Feng keenly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere. He pointed to the bowl of strong-smelling medicinal soup on the table and asked, "Auntie, may I ask what this medicine is for...are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Qingqiu waved his hand gently: "It's okay, these are just old problems, don't worry."

Ye Qingqiu then looked Gu Feng up and down, then asked slowly, "You don't look like an ordinary kid. Which family are you from? I've lived in Tiandou City for many years, and I don't think there's any family with the last name Gu, right?"

The implication was that Gu Feng should report his background.

After all, my child suddenly met a stranger, so I have to keep an eye on him.

Not to mention, the Nine-Hearted Begonia's generation is about to change, and her time is running out...

Gu Feng released his Bone Dragon Martial Spirit and replied in an orderly manner, "My name is Gu Feng, and my grandfather is Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I've made the bold move to ask Auntie if there's any medicine that can heal the soul."

When Ye Qingqiu learned that the person in front of him was the grandson of the famous Bone Douluo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After hearing this, Ye Qingqiu's originally gentle expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Is someone in your family's soul damaged? This is really tricky. Soul injuries are always the most difficult to heal."

Just when Gu Feng thought that he would return empty-handed this time.

Suddenly, Ye Qingqiu changed the subject: "But what a coincidence, I still have the last bit of the fountain of life here, which was passed down from my ancestors."

"If you really need it urgently, it's not that I can't give it to you, but I have a condition. You have to promise me one thing. What do you think?"

Ye Qingqiu stared at Gu Feng with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Gu Feng fell into deep thought.

There seems to be no other way to obtain soul healing at the moment.

So, Gu Feng nodded heavily: "Okay, Auntie, you say."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu's gaze flickered between Gu Feng and Ye Lingling. After a long silence, he spoke, "I believe you've also heard of the curse of our Nine-Hearted Begonia clan."

Gu Feng nodded. He knew about the curse of the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

Although the Nine-Hearted Begonia is known as the strongest auxiliary martial spirit, since there can only be one successor in each generation, there can only be two successors alive at most.

Therefore, the Nine-Hearted Begonia is also known as the martial soul cursed by the god of death.

"Lingling's grandfather left home a long time ago, and there has been no news since then. I don't know if he is still alive. If he is still alive, then there are still two descendants of the Nine-Hearted Begonia in this world."

“And my health is the worst…”

Ye Qingqiu paused for a moment, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "So, to ensure Lingling can successfully awaken her martial soul and not be overly affected by the curse, I'm going to..."

She didn't continue talking here, but the meaning of her words was self-evident.

Ye Lingling's eyes instantly turned red, and her voice choked with sobs: "Mom, I don't want you to leave me! I don't want to awaken the Nine-Hearted Begonia anymore, I only want Mom!"

Ye Qingqiu gently embraced Ye Lingling in his arms, stroked her hair tenderly, and coaxed her softly:
"Lingling, don't cry. When you were little, didn't you always say that you loved your mother's martial spirit the most?"

"Now Mom will pass this power on to you. When you awaken, you will definitely become the most amazing healing spirit master on Douluo Continent. Then, you will be able to protect many, many people."

"Do you remember the promise we made when we were little?"

Ye Lingling was inexplicably stunned for a moment, and a picture flashed through her mind.

……

"Lingling, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

The very young Ye Lingling was held gently in her mother's arms at that time, looking at the blue sky outside the window and giggling.

"Lingling wants to be a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, just like her mother!"

"Okay, then Lingling, you must study the medical classics diligently. Starting tomorrow, Mommy won't be gentle with you anymore!"

"Mom, come on! Lingling is not afraid!"

……

Looking back at the present, Ye Lingling only regretted her own careless words at that time.
