Bi Ji's clear and gentle voice fell like a warm spring breeze nourishing them, and everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Shen Hanyu only had a trace of surprise flash in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He quietly watched this scene, looking forward to how it would develop next.
Bi Ji's face carried a faint smile, her expression natural and firm, as she said softly:
"That girl's martial soul itself carries an extremely rich life energy. After the curse origin was perfectly removed, the martial soul origin was able to evolve, and her own healing ability has further improved. Even the abilities of her martial soul may undergo considerable changes..."
"If viewed from the perspective of human soul masters, my martial soul is undoubtedly the pinnacle healing-type martial soul, the Emerald Swan. In terms of healing, I think... It's hard to find a human in the current world who can rival me... This is undoubtedly a good thing for both sides..."
Ye Renxin didn't react for a moment and continued following Bi Ji's words.
"That, this old man has a question. What do you mean by 'from the perspective of human soul masters'? This statement..."
Shen Hanyu chuckled softly, then slowly stood up. His gaze swept over everyone as he said:
"This was actually my oversight. I haven't properly introduced you all to each other yet."
"This is Bi Ji. As you can see, Bi Ji is not human but a true ferocious beast, a 400,000-year-old Emerald Swan, and also the current clan leader of the Emerald Swan clan, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts..."
"This is Zi Ji, a 200,000-year-old Hell Demon Dragon King, a rare pure-blooded true dragon in the current world, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts..."
"As for this last one, her identity is too special. Knowing too much won't bring any benefits. You only need to know that in the past, even in the God Realm, she stood at the pinnacle as a powerhouse. At the same time, she is the true co-ruler of all soul beast clans in the current era..."
Shen Hanyu's calm voice reached everyone's ears. The expressions on everyone's faces varied, but what they shared was surprise and bewilderment, except for the Snow Empress and Shui Ningbing, of course.
Ye Renxin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sucked in a sharp breath of cold air. For a time, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, his appearance looking rather comical.
Dugu Bo also looked at the three with a shocked expression. Although he had already followed Shen Hanyu and seen many things that transcended this era before, encountering them now still carried a unique flavor.
Bi Ji and Zi Ji nodded slightly in greeting and didn't feel anything strange about the few people's appearances.
Gu Yuena only glanced faintly at Shen Hanyu before returning to her usual aloof attitude.
The corners of Shui Ningbing's mouth revealed a shallow smile. She didn't speak, merely watching everyone from the side.
Time passed minute by minute. Ye Renxin tightly pursed his lips. Although he knew he couldn't show his emotions too obviously at this moment, this was his first time encountering something like this, and the fine sweat on his forehead still betrayed his nervousness and helplessness.
Letting his granddaughter acknowledge a ferocious beast as her master, although the other party didn't seem like a bad person, and whether in terms of attributes or cultivation methods, she was undoubtedly the best teacher his granddaughter could find, he still felt it was strange.
Bi Ji wasn't anxious either. To some extent, she understood Ye Renxin's concerns. This matter couldn't be forced; it completely depended on the other party's thoughts.
Even if the other party refused, with her personality, she would at most smile and let it pass. After all, she was one of the few gentle and reasonable existences among the ferocious beasts and had always held an attitude of aversion toward violence and war...
...
After a long while, only when Shen Hanyu's gaze shifted slightly did Ye Renxin finally make his final decision. A smile appeared on that kind face, and he slowly said:
"Since Bi Ji His Excellency is willing to accept Lingling as a disciple, this is naturally a good thing. This old man naturally has no reason to stop it. Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. Once the Lingling girl wakes up, we can proceed with the rest..."
A trace of a smile also appeared on Bi Ji's face. She gently nodded and then sat back down.
Everyone silently breathed a sigh of relief. Dugu Bo patted Ye Renxin's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Then you all chat. This old man and I will wait outside. When people get older, they have more concerns when speaking. We can't chat together with you young people, and sometimes we might even spoil the mood..."
Everyone silently watched the two push the door and leave. Only then did the atmosphere ease somewhat from the awkwardness.
Shen Hanyu smiled lightly and then said:
"Old Ye is ultimately a rather traditional and old-fashioned human soul master. But at his age and experience, his ability to accept things is still much stronger than that of ordinary people. Understandably, he got stuck at this point for a while... What I mean is, Old Ye has no ill intentions."
Smart people all knew who this sentence was meant for.
Bi Ji helplessly waved her hand and then said:
"I understand. I'm not that unreasonable. If this matter were placed on me, the time I would need to think would probably be even longer. Because the fundamental races are different, establishing trust is easier said than done..."
Gu Yuena, who had been silent all along beside them, suddenly interjected:
"Enough. Such a small matter isn't worth spending so much breath on. If there's nothing else in the near future, I want to take Bi Ji and the others out for a walk to properly experience the customs and essence of the human world..."
(In her mind: Instantly eat all the delicious food in the world.)
Of course, Gu Yuena didn't have the nerve to say the last sentence out loud. As the co-ruler of the soul beasts, she still needed to maintain some dignity in certain situations outside. The solemn co-ruler of the soul beasts absolutely could not be defeated by human delicacies!
Shen Hanyu didn't refuse either and said lightly:
"You all can do as you please with this matter. Heaven Dou City is a rare, prosperous metropolis. Even though it's declined somewhat now, it's still barely passable. If you have any problems, you can come find us anytime."
Gu Yuena nodded. Amid the relative silence between the few, they tacitly started some insignificant topics...
...
The scattered blue-golden energy included quite a bit of pure life energy. It even contained some of Shen Hanyu's soul power and spiritual power. The energy contained within was still somewhat too vast for Ye Lingling. It took Ye Lingling a full three days to completely absorb these energies, showing just how massive the project was.
But the enormous rewards brought by the hard work were undoubtedly worth it.
Accompanied by the last small cluster of blue-golden energy being refined and absorbed by Ye Lingling, a faint green mist rose, its fresh fragrance drifting with the wind. The elegant and ethereal Nine Heart Flowering Apple quietly bloomed, beautiful enough to stir the soul.
Ye Lingling opened her gently trembling eyes. Feeling the changes in herself with some disbelief, she was momentarily at a loss. Only after remembering something did she directly slam the door and leave.
...
On the terrace.
Ye Lingling pushed open the glass door and walked in. Almost at a glance, she saw Shen Hanyu leisurely sipping tea.
Shen Hanyu also noticed this girl whose aura was vastly different. Even Shen Hanyu, whose eyesight had been honed to be extremely picky by the Snow Empress and Shui Bing'er, couldn't help but flash a trace of amazement.
After the curse was removed, the innate lonely and desolate atmosphere that Ye Lingling carried had disappeared. The deathly aura born from gloom had also completely dissipated, replaced by a vitality unique to a young girl. Her waterfall-like, long, blue hair had gained a trace of liveliness, and especially those eyes that had turned emerald green were beautiful beyond mortal things. A single glance at her charm was enough to make countless people fall.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath, then deeply bowed to Shen Hanyu. A sliver of spring scenery bloomed with her movement, fully captured by the sharp-eyed Shen Hanyu.
Transformation = major body reshaping...
This damn equation was instantly solved by Shen Hanyu, this guy...
"Thank you..."
Ye Lingling's gentle voice sounded, carrying a trace of shyness and unnaturalness.
Previously, during the spiritual and soul fusion with Shen Hanyu, because she was the weaker party, she was naturally suppressed by Shen Hanyu in every way. That sensation, like real physical contact, made her unable to help blushing with embarrassment, wishing she could escape directly. But later, when recalling it, she inevitably gave birth to some strange thoughts.
Shen Hanyu merely waved his hand lightly and said with a smile:
"Not bad. After removing the curse, you've changed into a different person. The potential after the martial soul has risen quite a bit, and your soul power has even directly reached the Soul King realm. This is somewhat unexpected. Cultivate well; perhaps in the future, you too will have the hope of glimpsing the God Realm..."
Ye Lingling gently nodded. That clear, cold, and peerlessly beautiful little face was dyed with a flush of red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Shen Hanyu.
The young girl's thoughts were especially obvious, almost completely unable to hide her entanglement and confusion. Shen Hanyu saw it all clearly.
At the same time, Shen Hanyu found it somewhat amusing and then changed the subject:
"Previously, in the Star Dou Great Forest, I once encountered a ten-thousand-year Green Spirit Treasure Tree. This gentle top-tier plant-type soul beast undoubtedly qualifies to become your fifth soul ring. Later, let Bing'er and A Yu go with you for a trip. It can also serve as early familiarization, since you'll be together often in the future..."
Ye Lingling's little face flushed red again. She didn't understand and didn't dare to understand the meaning behind Shen Hanyu's words. She could only lower her head and pretend to be an ostrich.
Shen Hanyu stood up, rubbed the girl's head, then gently pinched her burning hot cheek. Only then, satisfied, did he push the door and leave, leaving behind the dazed Ye Lingling standing there with a face full of bewilderment.
After reacting, Ye Lingling suddenly squatted down and buried her head between her knees. The delicate earlobes exposed outside were red enough to drip blood. The places touched by Shen Hanyu seemed to have wildfire burning, making her feel unbearably itchy and comfortable. This feeling made her addicted...
Amid the strange sensation, Ye Lingling also felt somewhat curious. What exactly had happened to her now? Why had she become someone even she found somewhat unfamiliar? Especially when facing Shen Hanyu, with whom she had had that alternative skin-to-skin intimacy, she was even more unable to control herself...
Forget it. Go back and ask her best friend, Yanyan. She probably knows...
Dog-headed strategist Dugu Yan, activate!
...
What Ye Lingling didn't know was that in a place she was unaware of, the Snow Empress was also observing her behavior and actions.
Shen Hanyu appeared out of thin air beside the Snow Empress, smiling innocently. He looked somewhat helplessly at the Snow Empress, then reached out to wrap an arm around the Snow Empress's waist. His other hand skillfully slipped through the dress and touched the Snow Empress's extremely good-feeling thigh.
In response, the Snow Empress only glared fiercely at Shen Hanyu and didn't resist. After many years as an old married couple, which inch of her body hadn't been marked by Shen Hanyu? Wasn't it just being touched a bit? Compared to everything she had experienced before, it was nothing more than a mere appetizer...
"Is there something good to look at? Could my dear Xue'er be worried that I'll support Ye Lingling to seize the main position and then abandon you..."
The Snow Empress slightly hooked her lips, dispersed the aura around her, and then said:
"This little girl isn't good at fighting for things and doesn't have that ability. On the other hand, you've gained another confidante. How does it feel..."
Shen Hanyu blinked, then said:
"Pretty good, but it's still not as comfortable as holding Xue'er..."
"Hehe...!"
The Snow Empress was almost amused by Shen Hanyu's shamelessness. Her gaze shifted away from Ye Lingling below. Before long, she was forcefully kissed by Shen Hanyu. After meaningless resistance, the Snow Empress pouted, seeming somewhat dissatisfied. Then she pressed back hard herself, with a momentum as if she wanted to kiss Shen Hanyu to death on the spot.
Shen Hanyu knew the Snow Empress was venting her dissatisfaction. He simply quietly enjoyed it and didn't make any resistance...
...
The next morning.
Shui Bing'er and Shen Liu Yu, who had received Shen Hanyu's orders, were already fully prepared. Under everyone's surprised gazes, they kicked open the door and forcibly took away the still somewhat dazed Ye Lingling, heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Shui Ningbing sat in the living room handling some trivial matters and issues, her expression relaxed and at ease, humming an unknown tune from her mouth.
A maid with a pleasant and cute appearance, somewhat timidly knocked on the door. After receiving permission from Shui Ningbing, he slowly opened the door. Seeing Shui Ningbing, he abruptly lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"Y-Your Excellency, there's a soul master academy causing a commotion downstairs. The target of the commotion seems to be Doctor Ye. Do... do you want to go take a look?"
Shui Ningbing was slightly stunned, then frowned, somewhat surprised as she said:
"Are you sure it's Old Mr. Ye?"
The little maid nodded very seriously and then continued:
"If I remember correctly, those few people opposite are also participants in this soul master competition. They were injured later and have been looking everywhere in Heaven Dou City for famous doctors to see them for some time now, but no one could treat them, so it's been dragging on..."
Shui Ningbing's brows furrowed even tighter. Her spiritual power passed through the floors downward, and in no time, she saw the full picture of the matter.
In the hall below, Ye Renxin sat on a chair leisurely sipping tea, while opposite him was a formation of two men and one woman, plus seven youths.
Upon closer look, they were precisely the so-called Golden Iron Triangle and the Shrek Seven Monsters. However, at this moment, their expressions all looked somewhat haggard. Clearly, their recent days hadn't been very good.
Ye Renxin's smiling gaze swept over the few people, then he leisurely spoke:
"Dear friends, this old man has recently stopped matchmaking. If you have needs, you can go find the old monster Dugu in the city. He happens to have that need..."
"If it's about treating illnesses, then this old man may have to apologize..."
"This old man has recently caught a cold, my spirit is low, and my whole body feels weak. I truly have no strength to help..."
"What this old man said is all the truth..."
