Chapter 76 Nine-Hearted Begonia, Rescuing the Ye Family Mother and Daughter.
At night, the two chatted around the campfire.
"I come from a remote mountain village. When I was two years old, the village was ravaged by the Fallen Ones."
"I escaped for a while, and was then rescued by a Soul Master from the Spirit Hall. Now I'm His Highness's stable boy."
A hint of pride flashed across Uncle Fu's face.
"The Spirit Hall treats us commoners very well; at least life here is happier than in the two great empires."
"If His Highness becomes Pope in the future, he will surely lead the Spirit Hall to an even more glorious path."
Jiang Nian nodded, gazing at the campfire before him.
The sound of crackling wood echoed in his ears; the entire mountain was utterly quiet.
After dinner, he picked up a map to examine the surrounding geography.
Turning right led to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Strangely enough, both the two great empires and the Spirit Hall were built around the Star Dou Great Forest; it seemed any road could lead to its edge.
Jiang Nian put aside his thoughts and sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard a faint bird song.
"Mom..."
"Don't speak, we'll definitely get out of here safely..."
Blood trickled from the corner of the beautiful woman's mouth as she grabbed the girl's hand and ran quickly.
Behind them, two Soul Masters in armor attacked something as they ran.
"Damn it! How can this Soul Beast be so powerful?! Didn't it just break through to 30,000 years old?"
"Sigh... The Soul Emperor that Madam Ye found was too careless..."
Five Soul Rings appeared on the two of them, making them look extremely disheveled.
Behind them, a snow-white Soul Beast was chasing after them.
"We're almost out of the Star Dou Great Forest... Damn it, there seems to be a cliff ahead?!"
Seeing Madam Ye and her daughter suddenly stop, the two guards felt a sense of foreboding.
Although Soul Masters were physically stronger than ordinary people, falling from a height would still be fatal.
Ye Wanqing looked back at the Soul Beasts rushing towards them, and a sense of despair washed over her.
A cliff lay ahead—what were they to do?!
Seeing this, the two guards gritted their teeth, exchanged a glance, and clasped their hands in apology, saying, "Madam, we've done our best in this dire situation." With that, they immediately ran in either direction; survival depended entirely on luck.
Ye Wanqing's face was ashen, and she remained silent.
In this situation, there was nothing anyone could do.
She could only say that her luck was bad.
"Lingling, don't be afraid..."
The girl, terrified, clung tightly to her waist, seemingly understanding the impending fate.
Ye Wanqing looked up at the sky, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Was the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul about to end with her lineage?
She felt ashamed before the ancestors of the Ye family…
Gazing at the approaching soul beast, Ye Wanqing's eyes hardened.
A cliff… If there were trees below, perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.
Or… hopefully, it wasn't too high.
"Lingling, close your eyes…"
With that, she grabbed her daughter and jumped downwards, her eyes fixed on the surroundings.
The descent was rapid, but they still hadn't broken through the clouds.
Gradually, Ye Wanqing felt despair.
No… not a single tree.
Her hair was blown behind her ears by the wind. She immediately took out a dagger from her storage soul tool, trying to pierce the rock wall.
Unfortunately, the first attempt failed.
The dagger was flung away by inertia.
"Damn it! If only I hadn't run out of soul power…"
Ye Wanqing continued trying, the dagger making a clanging sound against the rock wall, sparks flying.
She was almost out of strength, drenched in sweat.
"Mommy, let go…"
"Lingling, I can do it!"
The girl looked down at the land, closed her eyes, and prepared to await death.
Ye Wanqing gritted her teeth, her fingers turning purple from the dagger, but she still didn't let go.
Clang—the dagger broke.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, her thoughts frozen.
Her last action was to hold her daughter tightly to herself... and then she plummeted downwards.
Half a minute later.
Ye Wanqing opened her eyes and saw a handsome young man before her, with wings outstretched on his back and an air of nobility about him.
"You...you are?" The young woman was stunned for a moment before realizing that she and her daughter had been saved.
And, her benefactor was so young?!
Soon, they landed on the ground.
Jiang Nian gently placed the two women down and looked them over curiously.
A Soul King forced to jump off a cliff?
Had they encountered a Soul Beast tens of thousands of years old?
"Let's calm down first, we'll talk later."
Seeing that the two women were quite frightened, Jiang Nian sat down by the campfire to warm himself.
The little girl stared blankly at the calm-faced older brother, her gratitude almost tangible.
Ye Wanqing, holding Ye Lingling's little hand, walked to him.
Then she bowed deeply, saying, "My benefactor! You saved my daughter and my life; we can never repay you in this lifetime."
"When we get back, we will fulfill any request you make!"
Jiang Nian waved his hand, glancing at Ye Wanqing's imposing figure before immediately looking at her daughter.
So beautiful, and a Soul King at that?
Which family are they from?
"Sit down, and tell me how you were forced to jump off the cliff."
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Nian looked at Ye Wanqing's still-charming figure and face, and suddenly realized.
So she's from the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia...
What a coincidence!
But it's ridiculous that a Soul Master could be killed by a fall.
Luckily, he has many movement skills; he could have survived even if he jumped off the cliff.
"Madam Ye, why are you staring at me like that?" Jiang Nian curiously met her gaze.
Ye Wanqing gasped, then immediately turned her head away, her face burning.
Damn it… how could she think of such a thing…
But this young man is really amazing.
And why does he feel so familiar?
It seems like I've seen him somewhere before?!
Soon, a face suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Hiss…" Ye Wanqing quickly got up, grabbed her daughter's arm, and pulled her up.
Ye Lingling, who had been secretly watching, was now bewildered, looking at her mother's actions.
"Greetings… Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son!"
The girl opened her mouth, looking at Jiang Nian in shock.
This handsome older brother is actually the world-renowned Holy Son?! A genius who broke through to Soul King at the age of twelve?
Jiang Nian touched his nose, discovering that his mask had disappeared.
Oh well, so be it.
Besides, he was quite interested in the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
"Don't be shy."
Ye Wanqing's breasts rippled slightly, and her gaze towards Jiang Nian changed.
"Thank you so much, Holy Son, for saving my life. I will definitely visit the Spirit Hall to express my gratitude properly another day."
"Oh, no! Forget about it..."
