Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 75 The Two Women's Feelings

"Lingling, have you finished absorbing the soul bone?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically. He turned to look and saw that Ye Lingling had finished absorbing the soul bone and was blinking her big eyes at Xiao Yu and Huo Wu in front of her.

Damn, this is ridiculous! In the original story, Tang San took three days to absorb his mother's soul bone, right? How come Ye Lingling absorbed it so quickly? It probably didn't even take two hours. What? Ah Yin isn't Tang San's mother, but Ye Lingling's?

One thing Xiao Yu hadn't considered was that Tang San possessed twin martial souls. Besides inheriting Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor, he also had the powerful Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer's life attributes were completely opposite to those of the Blue Silver Emperor, not to mention the Clear Sky Hammer's Killing God Domain, which focused on killing. Therefore, in terms of compatibility, Ye Lingling was actually superior to Tang San.

Seeing that Ye Lingling had finished absorbing the soul bone, Huo Wu was so frightened that she quickly jumped off Xiao Yu's body and turned her head away, not daring to look at Ye Lingling. She had been caught trying to steal Ye Lingling's soul right in front of her.

"Lingling, don't misunderstand."

Xiao Yu coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu and said irritably, "What do you mean I misunderstood? I was just absorbing soul bones, I didn't faint!"

"Lingling, you heard everything!"

Huo Wu's face flushed red and then turned pale. She didn't even have the courage to look up, let alone look at Ye Lingling. She kept her head down and stared at the stone slab.

Ye Lingling smiled slightly, walked up to Huo Wu, and pulled Huo Wu to stand in front of Xiao Yu: "Sister Huo Wu, I actually knew you were right a long time ago. Although you two often bicker, the way you look at him doesn't lie."

The usually bold Huo Wu timidly raised her head to look at Ye Lingling, looking like a mistress caught red-handed by the main wife. "Lingling, aren't you angry?"

"I was actually angry at first."

Ye Lingling said calmly, "But then I realized, an eight-year-old girl being rescued from the jaws of a soul beast, I would be moved too. Besides, you were only eight when you met Brother Xiao Yu, so there's really no distinction between us in terms of who came first and who came later. I just spent more time with Brother Xiao Yu. Actually, I've always admired you. You're more courageous than me, and you dare to love and hate. After graduating from the junior soul master academy, I never thought of going against my family's arrangements to follow Brother Xiao Yu. If Brother Xiao Yu hadn't come to Tian Dou to find me, I might still be at the Tian Dou Royal Academy."

In truth, Ye Lingling also harbored resentment, but she understood Xiao Yu's intentions. Blazing Fire Academy had a deep foundation in the Heaven Dou Empire and might become an asset to Xiao Yu in the future.

As Ye Lingling spoke, she pulled Huo Wu to stand in front of Xiao Yu, giving him a mischievous wink: "Brother Xiao Yu, you absolutely have to treat us sisters well!"

Now that things have come to this point, if Xiao Yu were to refuse Huo Wu again, the girl might feel like she wanted to die.

Enough! Enough!

Who knows what will happen in six or seven years? Maybe he can use this relationship to bring Blazing Fire Academy and the two academies closely related to Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind and Heavenly Water, under his control, making them a wedge for him to penetrate the Heaven Dou Empire.

Looking at the two beautiful women in front of him, Xiao Yu no longer hesitated and reached out to pull them both into his arms.

Ye Lingling and Huo Wu nestled in Xiao Yu's arms, their faces flushed, pressed tightly against his broad and sturdy chest.

With the soft jade in his arms, Xiao Yu's body naturally reacted.

Ye Lingling and Huo Wu noticed Xiao Yu's change almost simultaneously and escaped from his arms like lightning.

"Pah, you pervert!"

Huo Wu quickly reverted to her carefree personality, rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu, and said, "I thought you were some kind of gentleman, but it turns out you're a hidden pervert!"

Ye Lingling looked at Xiao Yu with a shy yet reproachful expression, then quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

So that's what Xiao Yu was thinking about!

"Ahem!"

Xiao Yu coughed twice, quickly changing the subject to ease the awkwardness, "Lingling, what did you gain after absorbing the soul bone?"

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Huo Wu also came to her senses and asked curiously, "That's right, Lingling, this is a 100,000-year-old soul bone! It must bring you considerable benefits!"

Ye Lingling nodded gently: "The 100,000-year-old soul bone is indeed a treasure of the world. It not only raised my soul power by four levels and gave me two soul bone skills, but also made my martial soul evolve again and awaken a talent domain."

"field!"

Huo Wu was clearly quite surprised. A domain—that was a special ability that even a Title Douluo might not possess. Compared to a talent domain, a soul bone skill was insignificant: "Lingling, what abilities does your domain have?"

Ye Lingling replied, "My domain's effect is to increase the soul power recovery speed of my allies by 50%, and at the same time, based on the difference in soul power between me and the opponent, it can offset or weaken the negative effects of the opponent's soul skills, such as poisoning, burning, paralysis, dizziness, and weakness. Because it is a talent domain awakened by my martial soul, I call it the Sacred Heart Domain."

Xiao Yu then asked, "What about the Soul Bone Skill?"

"I have two soul bone skills. One of them grants me the ability to fly, and the other is the ability to regenerate severed limbs. As long as my soul power is not exhausted, no matter how badly the injured person's limbs are shattered, they can be repaired and regenerated."

"My God, Lingling, you're so strong now!"

Huo Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, turning to Xiao Yu and saying, "Xiao Yu, you gave Lingling such a precious treasure, you can't be biased, I want one too!"

"Stop thinking about getting something for nothing and go back to focusing on cultivating your soul power!"

Xiao Yu habitually raised his hand and gave Huo Wu a flick on the forehead, then turned to Ye Lingling and said seriously, "Lingling, the few levels of soul power you've gained are all from the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. Essentially, it doesn't truly belong to you yet. In the coming days, you need to calm down and stabilize these levels of soul power, integrating the power of the soul bone with yourself. Don't rush to break through to Soul King; otherwise, an unstable foundation and weak soul power will seriously affect your future breakthroughs!"

"Um."

Ye Lingling nodded solemnly: "Brother Xiao Yu, I understand."

"Okay, let's go back!"

The goals for this trip have been mostly achieved. Although they failed to intercept Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, they did manage to take away the Titan Giant Ape soul ring and soul bone that originally belonged to him, as well as his mother's right leg bone. They also gave Tang Shenwang a beating and Dai Mubai, that lecherous tiger, a couple of beatings. So the harvest wasn't too bad. There's not much to do outside, so it's time to return to the Nine Star Palace.
