Chapter 173 Ye Lingling's alluring charm is irresistible!
Ma Hongjun wiped his mouth and chuckled:
"That figure, that demeanor, wow."
"Look at those legs. Even though they're covered by the skirt, you can tell they're absolutely gorgeous just by looking at the outline."
"And the mystery of the black veil covering her face makes you want to lift it yourself and see what kind of face is hidden underneath."
"This thing looks cold and aloof, but once you're won over, it must be incredibly smooth and juicy..."
"Shut up!"
Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the back of the head in annoyance.
"You fatso, is there anything else in your head besides women?"
Although he scolded her verbally, Dai Mubai's gaze towards the sky also held a hint of amazement.
"But to be fair, Ye Lingling is indeed very charming."
"That kind of aloofness and arrogance is the complete opposite of Rongrong's spoiled princess temperament."
"For many men, this kind of aloofness that comes from unrequited love is actually more attractive."
Oscar nodded, glanced at Ning Rongrong who was still angry, and whispered:
"Moreover, the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul is indeed miraculous."
"That vibrant energy is a big plus in itself."
"Rongrong, don't take it too seriously. After all, everyone has their own preferences."
Ning Rongrong glared at the two of them fiercely.
"Whose side are you on?!"
"Hmph! Ye Lingling, is that it?"
"I'd like to see what skills you have besides this skin!"
...
Outside Jialing Pass.
Gu Yuena and Shui Bing'er stood side by side, watching the changes in the sky.
When Ye Lingling's name appeared, Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.
"It's Sister Lingling!"
Although Shui Bing'er is from Tianshui Academy, she is also from the Five Elements Academy, and she and Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team are acquaintances.
"Sister Lingling is only ranked ninth?"
Shui Bing'er shook her head in disbelief.
"Her charm is something even I find hard to resist."
She turned to look at Gu Yuena, her tone tinged with surprise.
"Sister Na'er, you don't know."
"Although Sister Lingling doesn't talk much, just her presence gives people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind."
"Her eyes are exceptionally beautiful, as if they hold the stars and the sea within them."
"If I were a man, I would definitely be captivated by her charm and unable to extricate myself."
"That feeling of wanting to protect her, and also wanting to be healed by her, is truly wonderful."
Upon hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes.
She looked at the comments about Ye Lingling on the screen, especially the phrase "the only descendant of the Nine-Heart Begonia lineage," and seemed to be deep in thought.
"She is indeed a beauty."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her voice clear and melodious.
"This aloof temperament is somewhat similar to that of Xue Di, but not entirely the same."
"The Snow Emperor is pure ice and snow coldness, while this Ye Lingling is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a heart full of love."
"It is well-deserved to be on the list."
However.
In the very next second.
Gu Yuena's expression suddenly changed.
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the central command tent. Her originally peaceful gaze instantly turned somewhat dangerous.
"etc..."
"The Ye family? Nine-Heart Begonia?"
Gu Yuena parted her red lips slightly and let out a soft hum.
Lu Ming seemed to have mentioned it before, that he had an identity in the human world, that he was the ancestor of the Ye family.
She didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
After all, for the long-lived dragon race, the changes of human families are nothing more than fleeting moments.
But now it seems...
The Ye family has produced a beauty who ranks ninth on the charm list, and it seems that Lu Ming already knew about it?
"OK."
Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, and the silver dragon spear in her hand trembled slightly.
"No wonder you were so secretive before, even hiding your identity from me."
"So there's such a delicate and beautiful younger sister hidden in the family."
"Break the curse?"
"Was this something you planned all along?"
Gu Yuena felt increasingly uneasy.
Lu Ming may seem lazy on the surface, but he's actually very calculating.
Since Ye Lingling is his descendant, he must have noticed her long ago.
"Not only did they take him on as a junior, but now they've given him such a big reward."
"Lu Ming, oh Lu Ming."
"How many things are you still hiding from me?"
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, felt the chill emanating from Gu Yuena and couldn't help but shiver.
"Sister Na'er... what's wrong?"
Why does it feel like... such a strong killing intent?
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and suppressed her aura, but the coldness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
She smoothed her wind-blown silver hair, a chilling smirk playing on her lips.
"nothing."
"It just suddenly occurred to me that some people need to be dealt with properly."
"Walk."
"Let's go to the main tent."
"I want to see if our young master Lu can remain calm in the face of this peerless beauty who is ranked 'ninth'!"
That's all.
Gu Yuena strode forward with long strides, exuding an air of accusation, heading straight for the central command tent.
Shui Bing'er stood there, stunned, looking at Gu Yuena's back, then at Ye Lingling in the sky.
Although I don't know what happened.
But she instinctively sensed it.
Master, this time...
This is probably a big problem.
Jialing Pass, the central command tent.
As the golden characters "Release the curse of the single lineage of the Nine Heart Begonia" slowly descended from the sky, a gentle yet vast beam of emerald green light pierced through the top of the tent and enveloped Ye Lingling directly.
Ye Lingling's body trembled slightly.
She could clearly feel that some kind of shackles that had been binding her for a long time were breaking down inch by inch under this warm power.
That is a curse etched deep in one's bloodline.
The nightmare that had plagued the Ye family for generations vanished in that moment.
As the light faded, Ye Lingling felt light all over, and her previously stagnant soul power surged instantly, directly crossing that insurmountable chasm.
But there wasn't much elation on her face. Instead, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stared blankly at the huge "nine" in the sky.
"Only ninth..."
Ye Lingling murmured softly, her tone carrying a hint of a young girl's resentment.
She believed her looks were second to none, and her temperament was uniquely aloof. In addition, now that the curse had been broken, the Nine-Hearted Begonia was the most powerful healing martial soul in the world.
Even so, it was only ninth place.
The eight women ahead of her in line, must be incredibly beautiful.
Lu Ming, sitting in the first seat, took in the girl's little thoughts.
He put down the jade cup in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and had a gentle smile on his lips.
"What? Not satisfied?"
Lu Ming's voice was very pleasant, with a touch of lazy magnetism, which easily touched Ye Lingling's heartstrings.
Ye Lingling snapped out of her daze and met the man's deep, unfathomable eyes. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.
