Ye Lingling stepped forward and reached out to straighten Yu Tianqing's collar:
"Brother Tianqing!"
"Are they researching spirit fusion again?"
"Or are you flirting with Yan Yan behind my back?"
As she spoke, Ye Lingling's fingertips inadvertently brushed against Yu Tianqing's neck, leaving a slightly cool sensation.
Before Yu Tianqing could reply, Dugu Yan pouted and said:
"Lingling, how could you say that!"
What does "carrying you on my back" mean?
"If I wanted to flirt with Tianqing, I would just do it openly and honestly!"
Ye Lingling glanced at Dugu Yan indifferently and said:
"That's hard to say."
"you..."
Dugu Yan pouted, instantly speechless with anger.
Yu Tianqing was caught between the two women, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint scent of medicine.
"Azure!"
A clear, ethereal voice rang out.
Yu Tianqing and the other two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired woman slowly walking over.
The woman was dressed in white, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her skin was crystal clear, like a fairy who did not eat the food of this world.
What is most striking are her eyes, so clear they seem to reflect everything in the world.
Who else could it be but Ye Xian'er?
"Mother!"
Upon seeing Ye Xian'er, Ye Lingling exclaimed with delight.
"Aunt Ye."
"You've arrived."
Yu Tianqing quickly bowed.
After meeting Ye Xian'er and Ye Lingling in the Star Dou Great Forest, they established a cooperative relationship.
He used the Qingling Bottle to help Ye Xian'er accelerate the ripening of various medicinal herbs.
In return, Ye Xian'er prepared the potion needed for the Azure Dragon's evolution for him.
Ye Xian'er nodded slightly, her gaze lingering on Yu Tianqing, and said with a smile:
"Azure".
"The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are about to fully mature. It's time to help you unlock the fourth transformation of the Azure Dragon."
Upon hearing what Ye Xian'er said, Yu Tianqing's eyes lit up:
"real?"
Ye Xian'er smiled charmingly and said:
"What? When have I ever lied to you?"
"Not only that, the herbs to help Yan Yan evolve her martial soul with Senior Dugu have also been prepared."
"We can help them evolve their martial souls first!"
Before Yu Tianqing could reply, Dugu Yan was already very excited.
"Aunt Ye, can my martial soul evolve now?"
"Very good!"
"After waiting for so many years, this day has finally come!"
Dugu Yan looked excited.
Despite her young age, she has suffered greatly from the backlash of the venom from the Jade Serpent over the years.
Fortunately, he later encountered Yu Tianqing, whose Azure Dragon Qi temporarily suppressed the toxins in his body.
Even so, this only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
Therefore, Yu Tianqing proposed that Dugu Yan's martial soul could evolve, but in return, Dugu Bo would need to open up his secluded place—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
After Dugu Bo agreed, Yu Tianqing took Ye Xian'er to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to accelerate the ripening of various immortal medicinal herbs.
In the blink of an eye, more than four years have passed.
"Even with the blessing of the Azure Spirit Liquid, the ripening of the immortal herb is still a long process!"
Yu Tianqing sighed inwardly.
You should know that in the past, he could successfully accelerate the growth of other herbs by using Qingling Liquid in ten days to half a month.
It can be placed on the herb to greatly extend the ripening time.
Now, four years have passed, and some of the medicinal herbs have only just fully matured.
Just as Yu Tianqing was lost in thought, Ye Xian'er turned her gaze to Dugu Yan and said:
"Yan Yan".
"Because the effect is still uncertain."
"Senior Dugu has decided to try evolving himself first."
"I'll have you come over after I confirm."
Hearing what Ye Xian'er said, Dugu Yan helplessly pursed her lips.
She knew in her heart that her grandfather was worried about something going wrong, which was why he made this decision.
At this moment, Yu Tianqing came to his senses, smiled at Ye Xian'er, and said:
"Aunt Ye."
"Now that everything is ready, let's pack up and head to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
Ye Xian'er nodded. She had come to find Yu Tianqing for this very reason.
Subsequently, Yu Tianqing found Liu Erlong.
Upon learning that Ye Xian'er had made all the necessary preparations and that Yu Tianqing's Azure Dragon Fourth Transformation could be activated, Liu Erlong was overjoyed.
Before leaving.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan found Yu Tianqing.
"Little brother Tianqing, when you come back this time, you will have completed the fourth transformation of the Azure Dragon."
"There will definitely be big changes by then."
Dugu Yan said with a smile, her gaze fixed on Yu Tianqing.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling interrupted before Yu Tianqing could reply:
"Yanzi."
Why are you staring at Tianqing like that?
"And... your eyes look a little lecherous."
Dugu Yan wasn't angry at what Ye Lingling said, and smiled as she replied:
"Was my gaze suggestive?"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan gave Yu Tianqing a flirtatious wink.
Yu Tianqing, with a bitter and helpless expression, said:
"Sister Yan Yan".
"You and Sister Lingling take good care of yourselves."
"After Dugu has tried the Martial Soul evolution, it will be your turn next."
Dugu Yan's expression returned to normal, and she nodded, saying:
Don't worry!
"Don't you even know who I am?"
"Your martial soul is about to evolve for the fourth time, so evolving it once is a piece of cake for me."
After chatting briefly, Yu Tianqing didn't linger and got up to leave with Ye Xian'er and Liu Erlong.
Watching Yu Tianqing and the others walk away into the distance, Ye Lingling suddenly said:
"Yanzi, how about you reconsider?"
"oh?"
Dugu Yan was surprised and asked in confusion:
"What are you considering?"
Ye Lingling smiled and said:
"Marry Tianqing, my little brother!"
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's words, Dugu Yan's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
"Okay, Lingling!"
"Now you've learned to make fun of me, huh?"
"I think you're the one who's infatuated and wants to marry Tianqing."
The two girls started laughing and joking, while Yu Tianqing and the others walked further and further away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
...
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
At this moment, Yu Tianqing and his two companions had arrived deep within the Sunset Forest.
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was still shrouded in thick fog, where the intense heat and extreme cold intertwined to form a strange and wondrous world.
Ye Xian'er stood at the edge of the spring, her silver hair as white as snow and her white clothes fluttering. With a light touch of her fingertips, rare medicinal herbs floated in front of her, emitting a shimmering light.
"Seven Absolute Flowers, Dragon Blood Lingzhi..."
She softly read out the names of the herbs and carefully counted them.
After all, it concerns the evolution of one's martial soul, so it cannot be taken lightly.
Not far away, Yu Tianqing, Liu Erlong, and Dugu Bo waited quietly.
After confirming that everything was in order, a hint of seriousness flashed in Ye Xian'er's beautiful eyes, and she then looked at Dugu Bo:
"Senior Dugu."
Are you ready?
"This evolution process of the martial soul may be very painful, even..."
Ye Xian'er didn't finish her sentence, her face showing worry.
Although she has prepared a list of herbs for evolution, the actual efficacy is unclear, and it is not even certain whether it can really evolve Dugu Bo's martial soul!
