In the guest courtyard arranged for Ling Ye by the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace in Tiandou City.
Ling Ye and Qian Renxue were enjoying tea and playing chess, discussing some details of their cooperation regarding the friction between the border Soul Master teams.
Suddenly, his hand holding the chess piece paused abruptly, and his heart began to pound violently without warning, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand!
What's going on? Is someone spying on me?
Or has some powerful expert attacked me?
There were absolutely no warning signs!
boom!
A surge of emotion originating from the deepest part of one's soul and bloodline erupted suddenly!
The Holy Spirit Puni Martial Soul within his body manifested uncontrollably for a moment, with seven dazzling halos flashing behind him. He exuded a warm and sacred life aura, illuminating the entire room!
Although it was only for a moment, the strange phenomenon and the sudden increase in terrifying pressure still caused Qian Renxue's pupils to shrink sharply, and the teacup in her hand cracked with a "snap"!
What's going on? What's wrong with him?
"Mr. Ling, you..." Qian Renxue suppressed her shock and asked calmly, her eyes filled with inquiry and vigilance.
This aura was so sacred and majestic, exactly as described in the intelligence, but it seemed even more powerful and active than rumored.
Could it be that he suddenly had an epiphany and broke through to a higher level?
Ling Ye did not answer immediately.
He closed his eyes, focusing intently on the strange, throbbing sensation.
It was an incredibly warm and intimate feeling of blood connection, as if on a distant shore, a small life of the same origin as him had just been born and was announcing his existence to the world.
The spirit of Qian Renxue conveyed pure joy and a protective intent, as if she had found a long-lost relative.
The child's aura... pure, powerful, full of light and vitality, even faintly carrying a hint of the Holy Spirit's essence!
Could it be that...
It's Bibi Dong! She gave birth!
The timing matches perfectly!
At this moment, Ling Ye's feelings were extremely complicated.
Joy is undeniable.
That was his bloodline, his first true family member in this world.
Feeling the little one's vibrant life force and extraordinary potential, a strange joy and pride of becoming a father for the first time welled up within me.
The jubilation of the Holy Spirit Puni Martial Soul also deeply influenced him.
But concerns also arose.
How will Bibi Dong treat this child?
Given her overwhelming hatred before, could it be...? No, judging from this bloodline connection, the child is safe and healthy, and there is no gloom in his aura, which means that Bibi Dong at least did not harm him.
Furthermore, given how astonishing the phenomenon was, it's likely already common knowledge within the Spirit Hall. How will Bibi Dong cover it up? And what will the Hall of Offerings' reaction be?
There's also a subtle feeling that's hard to put into words.
The Pope, who looked down on him like an ant and wanted to kill him, actually gave birth to a child for him.
The entanglement of cause and effect here is like a tangled mess.
A mix of emotions churned within him, ultimately culminating in a barely audible sigh.
Perhaps I should go see her; after all, she bore his child!
He slowly opened his eyes, the turmoil in them now subsided, replaced by a calm. Yet, in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of longing he had never felt before.
"I apologize, Your Highness. I had a sudden realization just now, and my soul power became slightly agitated. I may have disturbed you." Ling Ye smiled slightly at Qian Renxue, whose expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and casually made up an excuse to brush it off.
Qian Renxue naturally didn't believe it, but she was very shrewd and didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said with concern, "It's alright. Master cultivates diligently, so it's normal for him to break through occasionally. It's just that this aura seems to be very different from ordinary soul power, which is quite impressive."
She subtly probed.
Ling Ye downplayed the issue, saying, "Just some minor martial soul characteristics, nothing to mention." He placed another piece, steer the conversation back to the game, "Your Highness, regarding the border skirmish mentioned earlier, I think we could use this opportunity to probe Xingluo's reaction..."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, Qian Renxue did not press him further. She could only suppress her doubts and continue playing the game, but her mind was no longer on the chessboard.
She increasingly felt that the secrets hidden within Ling Ye were far more numerous and astonishing than she had imagined!
That sacred life force even caused a subtle resonance and a sense of apprehension in the angelic martial soul hidden within her body.
Perhaps we can study this further in the future! Or perhaps have a better exchange of ideas!
In the ensuing talks, Ling Ye appeared to be doing as usual, with a clear mind and far-reaching plans.
But only he knew that his feelings had changed.
His spiritual energy would always unconsciously drift towards the direction of Wuhun City, trying to capture that faint bloodline connection.
Every breath and every heartbeat of that little life seemed to gently tug at his heartstrings through an invisible bond.
This is an unprecedented experience.
He was no longer fighting alone in this strange world; his bloodline had been continued.
"Dongye…" he murmured to himself, the name that had suddenly flashed into his mind.
What he didn't know was that Bibi Dong had also chosen this name, and the two of them had the same idea.
A gentle smile curved his lips. "Wait for me. One day, your father will come to pick you up."
Of course, before that, he needs to have enough power and clear away all obstacles.
The Spirit Hall, the Hall of Offerings, and even other potential threats...
He glanced at Qian Renxue, who was deep in thought, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The plan needs to be accelerated.
Perhaps Qian Renxue could become a powerful lever for him to pry open the Spirit Hall from within?
For example, could we make her relationship with Bibi Dong more harmonious?
Perhaps a three-person discussion could be arranged?
This idea was indeed a bit crazy for Ling Ye!
However, the key is to win over Qian Renxue alone first.
Ling Ye picked up his teacup, concealing the calculation in his eyes.
He looked up and noticed that even in the candlelight, Qian Renxue's stunning profile, though disguised, was still undeniably beautiful. "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah! It's nothing?"
Qian Renxue felt Ling Ye's gaze and panicked for no reason. She quickly got up to pour him tea to cover it up, but her fingertips accidentally touched his palm, causing her body to tremble slightly.
Ling Ye keenly caught this moment of loss of control.
He looked intently at Qian Renxue, his eyes, which seemed to see through her disguise, made her heart race for no reason.
"Your Highness seems... very tired." Ling Ye's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern.
Qian Renxue subconsciously avoided his gaze, forcing herself to remain calm: "It's just a trivial matter, thank you for your concern, sir."
However, Ling Ye slowly stood up and approached her.
A sacred aura, both reassuring and thrilling, clearly enveloped her.
"Perhaps I can help Your Highness alleviate some of the pain." Ling Ye gently placed his hand on Qian Renxue's shoulder.
