449: Chapter 449 The whole story!

"Ling'er, you... it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine!" General Ye Yi stammered, gripping Ye Ling's hand tightly, moved to tears.

Ye Ling's face was full of guilt, her eyes red-rimmed as she choked out, "I'm sorry, Father. Ling'er is unfilial and made you worry."

"It's fine. As long as you are alive, everything is in the past." General Ye Yi shook his head and laughed again.

Ye Ling also smiled. Feeling that her body had recovered for the most part, she sat up and said, "Father, that Young Master from just now... he was the one who saved Ling'er."

"Furthermore, to ensure Ling'er's Foundation would not be left with any defects, he even took out his own essence blood to nourish Ling'er's Foundation."

"Father, we must repay this Young Master properly. We must not let him down!"

General Ye Yi nodded heavily. "Ling'er, rest assured! The reason I have been able to gallop across the battlefield for so many years is entirely due to loyalty and righteousness!"

"I have said before, if Young Master Lin could save you, even my life would belong to Young Master Lin!"

"I do what I say, and I will never go back on my word!"

Ye Ling nodded and got out of bed.

"Be careful, Ling'er. You have been lying in bed for so long, you must not be used to walking yet." General Ye Yi hurriedly stepped forward to gently support Ye Ling.

Watching him protect her with such caution, as if she were some fragile work of art, Ye Ling felt a bit helpless and shook her head with a smile.

"Father, Ling'er is really fine now. Please don't worry anymore."

General Ye Yi immediately glared at her. "If I say you are not fine, you are not fine. You are not allowed to talk back to your father!"

"Father, are you scolding me?" Ye Ling said, looking aggrieved.

General Ye Yi's heart softened immediately, and he comforted her in a soft voice, "Ling'er, be good. It is Father's fault. Won't an apology from me do?"

Ye Ling huffed haughtily, her cheeks puffed up in anger.

General Ye Yi smiled indulgently and supported Ye Ling as they walked out of the bedroom.

"Is this General Ye's daughter? Truly as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, so pure and natural." Yue Hanzheng smiled.

Having returned to her normal appearance, Ye Ling could indeed be described as stunningly beautiful, possessing the grace of a Heavenly Immortal.

Those sparkling, jewel-like eyes seemed to speak, captivating one's soul.

Her porcelain-white forehead glowed with a soft luster, her nose was high and straight, and her cherry lips were enticing, shimmering with a dazzling moisture.

She had a tall figure, a full chest, a slender waist, and straight, long jade feet without an ounce of excess fat, carrying herself with a dignified and elegant temperament.

It could be said that in this Zhenxian Divine Dynasty, Ye Ling was indeed the dream goddess in the hearts of countless young Prodigies, someone to be admired from afar but not profaned!

"Are you alright?" Lin Ran looked at Ye Ling with a smile and nodded gently.

"Yes, thank you, Young Master." Ye Ling was a bit shy. It seemed she recalled the scene of Lin Ran feeding her his essence blood just moments ago, and a blush of shyness instantly spread across her cheeks, climbing to the corners of her eyes, making her too shy to look at Lin Ran.

"Thump!" Suddenly! General Ye Yi knelt down before Lin Ran, without any warning and without the slightest hesitation.

"Young Master Lin, thank you for saving Ling'er's life. If not for you today, Ling'er would likely be in mortal danger!"

"I, General Ye Yi, have said that as long as Young Master Lin could save Ling'er, my life would belong to Young Master Lin!"

"I, General Ye Yi, have galloped across the battlefield for countless years, and I will never go back on my word!"

"From now on, this life of mine belongs to Young Master Lin! In the future, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of flames, I, General Ye Yi, will not refuse!"

Just moments ago, Ye Ling had said that in order to prevent any damage to her Foundation that would affect her future Cultivation, Lin Ran had even been willing to offer his own essence blood, solely to preserve Ye Ling's Foundation.

Based on this alone, he held absolute respect for Lin Ran and would not look down on him in the slightest because of any gap in status or position.

At this moment, even if Lin Ran asked him to die right now, he would not even furrow his brow!

Lin Ran hurriedly helped General Ye Yi up from the ground and said with a gentle smile, "General Ye, you need not do this."

"I, a Junior, will treat that statement as a joke and have not taken it to heart."

"However, if I have any needs in the future, I only hope that General Ye will be able to assist me."

He did not use the favor of saving Ye Ling as capital to throw his weight around in the Ye Manor.

He even politely declined General Ye Yi's offer to sacrifice his life, yet he perfectly painted a picture for General Ye Yi of repaying the favor in the future.

Such unhumbled and unarrogant behavior, neither proud nor impetuous—it was precisely this temperament that made General Ye Yi hold Lin Ran in even higher regard, and it also caused pink hearts to burst forth in the eyes of Ye Ling, who stood to the side, her face full of adoration and worship.

"Alright, General Ye, you should know clearly what this Junior needs the most right now." Lin Ran teased with a smile.

General Ye Yi nodded solemnly, no longer concealing anything, and said, "Back then, after the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect arrived at my Ye Manor, they took one look at Ling'er's symptoms and knew that Ling'er had accidentally inhaled the poison of the god burial flower."

"However, the poison of the god burial flower was something they also found quite troublesome."

"They only left me with one sentence: they intended to head to the Snow Dragon Heavenly Mountain to find medicinal herbs to dispel the poison of the god burial flower, and told me to wait patiently for them, after which they vanished without a trace."

"Until now, there has been no news from them at all."

"If not for Ling'er being blessed by fate, and luckily having Young Master Lin here, I fear she would not have escaped this disaster!"

Lin Ran and the others looked at each other. After pondering for a moment, Lin Ran asked, "General Ye, I wonder why the Resurrection Immortal Sect would suddenly come to the Ye Manor?"

"They said that since Ling'er had accidentally inhaled the poison of the god burial flower, then Ling'er must certainly know where exactly the god burial flower can be found in the Shentao Secret Realm."

"They seemed to want to trace the clues back to the source from the god burial flower, searching for something, which is why they thought about saving Ling'er," General Ye Yi explained.

Lin Ran nodded slightly. In that case, everything made sense.

"I do indeed know where the god burial flower grows in the Shentao Secret Realm, and that place is very hidden. I only found it by chance!"

"While there, I could vaguely hear faint roars coming from the Vicious Beast Taotie."

"At that time, I was filled with fear and did not dare to go deeper. However, I didn't expect that while returning along the original path, I accidentally inhaled the poison of the god burial flower."

"Hmm, thinking about it, that area where the god burial flower grows must contain some kind of Opportunity. Otherwise, the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect would not have risked going to the Snow Dragon Heavenly Mountain to find medicinal herbs to cure you," Lin Ran said.

After learning the ins and outs of everything, Lin Ran's mind became clear in an instant.

Since the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect wanted to use Ye Ling to find the place where the god burial flower grew in the Shentao Secret Realm, then they could use Ye Ling to, in turn, find out the whereabouts of the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect!
