Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 34 The Nine-Heart Begonia Family

"roll!"

Xiao Yu looked coldly at Liu Lang, slowly withdrew his released soul power, and said disdainfully.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who was clearly a few years younger than him, and recalling the soul power fluctuations that were ten levels higher than his own just now, Liu Lang was completely devoid of his previous arrogance. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he hurriedly nodded and said, "Get lost, get lost, get lost, I'm leaving right now!"

Watching Liu Lang flee in a disheveled state, Ye Leng Leng couldn't help but chuckle. But the next moment, she remembered Liu Lang's words and her expression turned dejected. Even if one Liu Lang was gone, another would soon follow. As long as the Heavenly Dou Royal Family didn't give up their wicked desire for the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, she would never truly be free.

"Silly girl, don't be afraid!"

Although Xiao Yu hadn't heard the entire conversation between the two, he had still managed to deduce a lot from their fragments, which also resolved a previous question he had: why did the Nine Heart Begonia family send Ye Lengleng to a place far away from their family when they were clearly in Tiandou City?

He reached out and ruffled Ye Lengleng's hair, saying softly, "With me here, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, not even the Heavenly Dou Royal Family!"

"Um!"

Ye Lengleng nodded lightly. She didn't know why, even though the Tian Dou Empire was one of the two great empires in the world with a million soldiers, and although it didn't have any titled Douluo-level retainers, it had nearly ten Soul Douluo-level experts. She didn't know where Xiao Yu got his confidence from, but she believed what Xiao Yu said. More importantly, the feeling of being protected was really good.

"Young Master!"

Just then, Zi Long, Xie Wu, and Mi Yi Mei caught up from behind. Xiao Yu had seen Ye Lengleng being harassed from afar and had quickened his pace.

"Oh, right, let me introduce you to him."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu took the opportunity to introduce them to Ye Lengleng: "These are all the younger generation of my sect. This is Zi Long, this is Xie Wu, and this is Mi Yimei. They all have the cultivation level of Soul Venerable."

Ye Lengleng was startled when she heard that they all possessed Soul Venerable level cultivation, and when she saw that they were all about the same age as her and Xiao Yu, she immediately greeted them politely.

Zilong and the others quickly returned the greeting.

"Leng Leng, besides visiting you, I also have some personal matters to attend to in Tian Dou City this time."

Xiao Yu gave Ye Lengleng a slightly apologetic look: "This is the first time any of us have been to Tiandou City. We're unfamiliar with the place and don't have a place to stay. I wonder if we could..."

"sure!"

Ye Lengleng nodded: "The Nine Heart Begonia family still wields some influence in Tiandou City. Staying at my house will help you avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Besides..."

After a pause, Ye Lengleng said somewhat shyly, "I've mentioned you a few times before, and Grandpa and Dad both want to meet you!"

"Alright, I also wanted to visit my uncle and Clan Chief Ye this time."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I brought some gifts with me. The two elders should like them."

"Let's go then!"

Ye Lengleng said this and took Xiao Yu's hand, leading him into the city.

. . . . . . . . . .

The Nine Heart Begonia family's residence is located in the north of Tiandou City, and it is a large manor covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

The entire clan consists of about two hundred people. Due to the inherent flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, although the clan members have not been able to awaken the Nine Heart Begonia, most of their martial souls are mainly healing-type and mostly plant-type. Therefore, to highlight this characteristic, the clan members have planted many flowers and plants in the manor, which is quite a beautiful sight from afar.

The head of the Ye family is named Ye Renxin, a Soul Douluo powerhouse at level 81. Ye Lengleng's father, Ye Wentai, is a healing-type Soul Emperor at level 64. His martial soul is just a single begonia flower, but if he goes all out, his healing ability is not much weaker than that of the Nine-Heart Begonia.

"This junior greets you two seniors!"

Inside the Ye family's council hall, Xiao Yu bowed to the two people seated at the head of the table.

"You're Xiao Yu?"

Ye Wentai looked Xiao Yu up and down. He was quite good-looking, no wonder his daughter couldn't forget him.

Back then, his daughter even sent a letter asking the family to help him get a spot in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Ye Wentai had lived half his life, so how could he not understand his daughter's intentions? If the Heaven Dou royal family hadn't been pressuring him so much, he wouldn't have minded fulfilling his daughter's wishes.

"Young man, you're so young, I wonder how your cultivation is progressing?"

Ye Wentai feigned arrogance, secretly thinking that Xiao Yu's willingness to come to his daughter's home meant he probably had feelings for her. However, he didn't believe that an unknown young man like Xiao Yu could compare to the Heavenly Dou royal family, so he wanted to send Xiao Yu away to avoid the royal family finding out and bringing him a deadly disaster.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "This junior is not very talented; I just broke through to level forty not long ago."

"Oh, level 40, that's not bad for your age, but in our family..."

Ye Wentai didn't react at first, but halfway through his sentence, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up: "Wait, what level did you just say you were?"

"Level 40!"

Xiao Yu maintained his smile as he slowly released his soul power.

Although Ye Wentai's attitude was annoying, he didn't think that a kind girl like Ye Lengleng could have a father who was all talk and no action. Recalling the scene on Tiandou Street, he could guess the purpose of Ye Wentai's attitude. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Ye Wentai's feigned arrogance.

Sensing the soul power fluctuations that were no less than those of a Soul Master, Ye Renxin, who had been sitting in the first seat with his eyes slightly closed, opened them. He and Ye Wentai exchanged a glance, and their expressions instantly became extremely shocked.

How old is this kid? Twelve or thirteen? Even if he's thirteen, a Soul Master at thirteen is still an astonishing existence. Let alone a Soul Master, they've never even heard of a Soul Venerable.

Ye Lengleng's cultivation level of 25 at the age of twelve already made her a genius among geniuses, one in ten thousand.

Xiao Yu's talent can only be described as monstrous.

Ye Renxin and Ye Wentai were certain that as long as Xiao Yu did not die prematurely, he would definitely become a Title Douluo in the future, and would definitely be one of the top Title Douluos.

Unfortunately, he isn't yet.

However, offending a future powerhouse with the potential of a Title Douluo is not a wise move, especially since their darling daughter has clearly chosen Xiao Yu.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. On one side is a classmate with amazing talent who has been with them since childhood, and on the other side is a member of the royal family with a bad reputation and no learning. They would know what to choose if they were in their shoes. For a moment, the Ye father and son were also caught in a dilemma.
