36: Ye Lingling comes to visit, stubborn

Knock knock——

Su Ye had just returned to his room, his butt hadn't even warmed the seat, when a knock sounded.

"Still not giving up?"

"Do you really insist on me joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Su Ye felt a little annoyed.

He opened the door.

A solitary figure made Su Ye pause.

The girl was quite a bit older, but not tall, only slightly taller than Su Ye, and exceptionally thin.

Bangs on her forehead, a cascade of blue hair, a layer of black gauze draped over her clothes, and a black mask on her face, somewhat resembling the attire of Persian women in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Through the gauze, one could vaguely see her delicate and lovely oval face. Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, also a clear blue, pure and clean.

It was just that the girl always had her eyebrows drooped, looking too low and lonely, as if out of place with the vibrant World around her.

Ye Leng Leng?

Su Ye's expression was subtle. There were only two girls in the Tian Dou Battle Team, and the other party also used the Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul, so he naturally recognized it was her.

In his previous life, Su Ye had a deep impression of the Nine Hearted Sea Tang, a definite main healer in the team with its group healing ability.

"Is something wrong?"

Su Ye was the first to break the silence, speaking in a gentle tone.

The Nine Hearted Sea Tang is a "cursed" Martial Soul; only two can exist at a time.

If both parents are Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul Soul Masters, then one must have already perished.

If only one parent is a Nine Hearted Sea Tang, then either the grandfather or grandmother must have "sacrificed" themselves for the Martial Soul.

Su Ye could understand the pain of losing a loved one; the girl before him must be enduring something even heavier than him.

After all, the Nine Hearted Sea Tang would follow her throughout her life, something she could never truly forget.

Ye Leng Leng didn't reply, tilting her body, her watery blue eyes looking past Su Ye and into the room.

Her eyes were beautiful, but too empty and lifeless. Her face showed no emotional fluctuations, yet it wasn't dull, but rather resilient and strong.

Paired with the cute little head tilt at this moment, there was a unique contrast of cuteness.

...Coming for Jin Bao?

Su Ye remained calm, shifting his body slightly to block her line of sight.

Ye Leng Leng frowned and glanced at Su Ye, then moved her body to the other side.

Su Ye coughed lightly and extended his hand to block again.

Although he sympathized with Ye Leng Leng, Jin Bao was his pet, and he had already developed feelings for it. How could he allow anyone to covet it?

Seeing this, Ye Leng Leng's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she also knew that the young man before her couldn't possibly sell the little golden mastiff to her.

But she still wanted to try.

She really liked that little golden mastiff.

"You can name a condition."

Ye Leng Leng's red lips moved, her voice elegant and pleasant, with a hint of unreality. "As long as you are willing to let me have that little golden mastiff, I can find a way to satisfy your condition."

Ye Leng Leng raised her head, her bright eyes looking straight ahead with determination. "You should have heard of my Martial Soul, Nine Hearted Sea Tang. As long as there's still a breath, I can save people."

"If you are willing to let me have it, I can promise to heal your injuries permanently. How does that sound?"

Heal injuries?

Leaning casually against the door frame with his arms crossed, Su Ye began to ponder. To be honest, this condition was indeed good.

But what he wanted more was actually the Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul itself.

If the Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul were integrated into his Golden Phoenix Martial Soul.

Phoenix + healing...

Rebirth from ashes, immortal and indestructible?

Even if the effect wasn't that great, it could significantly increase the Martial Soul's self-healing ability, and then he wouldn't be afraid of getting injured.

Make a Soul Master hand over their Martial Soul?

This is basically no different from asking for her life.

Unless...

Thinking, Su Ye scratched his head awkwardly, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Leng Leng's belly.

There was only one way for him to obtain the Nine Hearted Sea Tang, and that was for Ye Leng Leng to become pregnant.

In order to save her parents, and also for the child to have the Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul, she should choose to give up the Nine Hearted Sea Tang Martial Soul without hesitation.

Seeming to sense Ye Leng Leng's arrival, Jin Bao, who was playing in the bathroom, immediately ran out.

Its body was covered in flames, and the heat it emitted instantly dried the water off its body, turning it back into its fluffy, mystical appearance.

Awoo awoo——

Between the two of them, Jin Bao happily wagged its tail and spun around, looking extremely excited, as if it had boundless energy.

Ye Leng Leng's eyes softened, and she stooped down, stroking Jin Bao's head. A subtle smile curved the lips visible through her veil.

Jin Bao also seemed to enjoy it, constantly nudging its head against Ye Leng Leng's hand. This scene made Su Ye's eyelid twitch, feeling that a certain beast was "turning its elbow outwards" (betraying him).

"Sorry, I have no intention of letting anyone else have Jin Bao."

Su Ye quickly picked up Jin Bao, his eyes guarded as if protecting against a thief. "If you like small animals, you can go to the Star Dou Great Forest yourself to find one. I believe..."

"That's not the same!"

The girl's voice was stubborn, and the glare she shot over carried a hint of fierceness, like a mother hen protecting its chick.

"...You're right!"

Su Ye shrugged helplessly. "Therefore, it's even more impossible for me to let you have it."

"But you have two!"

"So? Are you planning to give me two? To help me gather wealth from all directions?"

Ye Leng Leng: "......".

The air suddenly became quiet.

Ye Leng Leng remained silent, her big blue eyes wide, wanting to glare someone to death so she could inherit his Jin Bao.

"It's getting late."

Mmm, Su Ye yawned, making a gesture as if to close the door.

"What kind of girl runs to a boy's room in the middle of the night?"

"If someone else sees you, who knows what outsiders will think. You should go back and rest early."

Bang, Su Ye slowly closed the door.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Leng Leng did not stop him.

Through the crack in the door, the girl's bulging eyes were full of resentment, as if she had been bullied and was holding back her anger.

Seeing Jin Bao still reluctantly reaching out, as if about to "defect," Su Ye irritably stroked its little face and said:

"Jin Bao, from now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to go out and play with her. Do you understand?"

Jin Bao blinked its big eyes tearfully, its milky cute appearance looking pitiful.

Su Ye turned a blind eye to this.

He put the two little Jin Baos into their warm and comfortable little nest, and he himself lay down on the soft big bed to sleep and rest.

"...She's still not leaving?"

Sensing that Ye Leng Leng was still standing outside the door at this moment, Su Ye was a little speechless. She could stay as long as she wanted; there was no way he would compromise.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

...

Half an hour later, Su Ye was completely "motionless," and the entire room was eerily quiet.

Awoo, the soft big bed "creaked" as it gave way, and a paw gently nudged Su Ye's shoulder.

Seeing that its master had no reaction, Jin Bao immediately retreated gently, then went to the door and quietly opened the room door.

Looking at Jin Bao who ran out, the girl seemed to come alive. Joy visibly climbed onto her cheeks, and she looked radiant.

Jin Bao was also very obedient. It didn't leave with Ye Leng Leng, but just played with her at the doorway.

Inside the room, Su Ye silently pulled the blanket over his head, pretending not to know anything.
