Ye Lingling had a dream, a dream in which her life contained neither Dugu Feng nor the Dugu Family.
When their Heaven Dou Royal Team engaged in a Soul Duel with the Shrek Academy Team, their captain Yu Tianheng did not die.
But the outcome after participating in the Soul Master Competition was the same—they were defeated by the Spirit Hall.
Unexpectedly, the Shrek Academy Team won the championship, and that Tang San became the center of attention.
Ye Lingling grew anxious. Where was Dugu Feng? Where had he gone?
Ye Lingling searched frantically, scanning through every crowd, but there was no trace of Dugu Feng.
After the Soul Master Competition ended, she hurriedly went to ask her grandfather, only to receive the news that the Dugu Family had vanished years ago. It was said that one day, a great battle had erupted at the Dugu Family's residence, and no one had survived.
The entire Dugu Family was left with only the branch members, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling was devastated. It was absolutely impossible.
She then went to ask Ning Rongrong, "Where is Dugu Feng?"
To her surprise, Ning Rongrong had no idea who Dugu Feng was.
Ye Lingling felt helpless. Her memories of Dugu Feng were so vivid—he had given her an Immortal Herb, allowing her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. How could Dugu Feng suddenly disappear?
Finally, Ye Lingling remembered. After Dugu Feng broke through to the Soul Emperor realm, he had taken her to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to break through her Spirit Limit.
Then, the two of them bathed together like mandarin ducks in the Ice and Fire Spring Water, merging into one.
Immediately after, she absorbed another Immortal Herb, the Twin Immortal Lotus, and then she knew nothing more.
Ye Lingling's mental energy surged relentlessly, trying to fully awaken and open her eyes to see her surroundings.
But she only felt as though her mental energy, blood, Martial Soul, and Soul Power were all confined within an isolated space.
No matter how she cultivated or how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Ye Lingling possessed an indomitable spirit. She refused to accept that the Ye Family could only have two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters in the same generation—a cruel curse.
She was determined to break this curse.
She pushed her Martial Soul to its limits, and in that one moment, all restraints shattered.
"...What a pity it was broken through external force. There won't be a next time..."
Ye Lingling's mind felt hazy.
This consciousness had emerged from within her Martial Soul, and she perceived it more clearly.
The voice was ancient and vast, ethereal, as if it had traversed the river of time.
Yet, there was a faint sense of familiarity in that voice, one that felt very intimate to her.
This external force likely referred to Dugu Feng's assistance.
Ye Lingling focused her senses on her Martial Soul.
"Saint Heart Twin Begonia!"
Her Martial Soul was composed of two begonia flowers—one large and one slightly smaller. Additionally, their colors had changed; the originally pink petals had transformed into a mix of pink and white.
Her healing ability had significantly increased, at least by fifty percent compared to before.
Suddenly, Ye Lingling felt that her Martial Soul was not of the life attribute.
With such powerful healing abilities, everyone believed the Ye Family's Martial Soul was life-attribute, and even Ye Lingling herself had thought so.
But now, Ye Lingling no longer believed that.
After evolving, the Saint Heart Twin Begonia fundamentally restored the injuries of the wounded during healing.
It was vastly different from other healing attribute Martial Souls.
As for what attribute it was, Ye Lingling couldn't figure it out and could only explore it slowly in the future.
She opened her eyes and immediately saw Dugu Feng.
"Dugu Feng!"
Ye Lingling rushed over and tightly embraced him.
In her dreams, she had searched countless times and despaired countless times.
Now that she was fully conscious, she realized just how deep her feelings for Dugu Feng were!
Dugu Feng was somewhat stunned but calmly said, "Senior sister, with such an affectionate gesture like this, I might not be able to hold back!"
"Hmm!"
Ye Lingling softly hummed in response.
Her voice was ethereal, almost seductive.
With a beauty in his arms and the delicate fragrance of begonia flowers wafting through the air, Dugu Feng was reminded of the wild moments they had shared in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
What was even more absurd was that Ye Lingling was still completely bare, wearing nothing at all!
Such a stunning beauty was curled up tightly in his arms, appearing as if she was entirely at his mercy.
How could Dugu Feng possibly resist?
At that moment, he was determined to taste her sweetness and indulge in playful intimacy.
Inside the cave dwelling halfway up the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the world seemed to fade into darkness.
Time passed, and the night slipped away.
In the early morning, on the platform halfway up the mountain, Dugu Feng sat on a recliner with Ye Lingling nestled in his arms, watching the clouds drift and swirl in the valley.
Having experienced intimacy for the first time, Ye Lingling's rosy skin carried a unique charm. Her face was not as sharp as Ning Rongrong's but appeared soft and exquisitely rounded.
"Did you also hear that mysterious voice during the Spirit Evolution?" Ye Lingling asked.
Dugu Feng nodded and said, "I suspect that an ancestor of your Ye family once became a Deity. Only a Deity would have the power to impose such restrictions within the bloodline."
"A Deity?"
Ye Lingling was stunned.
This was too fantastical!
There were legends of gods on the Douluo Continent, with the most recent one being about the Sea God.
But those were just legends.
Many people didn't believe that Deities truly existed.
And now, suddenly, she was connected to a Deity?
"Powerhouses above level ninety-nine, if they cultivate to level one hundred, can ascend to godhood. Deities cannot remain on the continent for too long; after ascending, they must go to the God Realm. They are also bound by the rules of the God Realm. The Slaughter City is the inheritance ground of the Asura God, and the Slaughter Domain I obtained is a trial of the gods."
Dugu Feng lay there lazily, explaining everything to Ye Lingling.
This was a rare moment of leisure for him.
"So, will you also become a god in the future?" Ye Lingling was shocked once again.
"Becoming a god is no easy task. It's still too distant for us. We must first cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo to gain more opportunities. Senior sister, you've now consumed two Immortal Herbs, and your Martial Soul has evolved again. Your cultivation speed won't be slower than any other Soul Master. Once your strength reaches the level of a Titled Douluo, you can consider challenging the restrictions again," Dugu Feng pondered.
Ye Lingling's eyes shone with confidence. That mysterious voice had said she wouldn't get another chance.
She refused to believe it.
The Ye family had endured too much suffering.
Only two Soul Masters were allowed per generation.
Such a curse had finally been slightly broken.
Now that she knew the reason, Ye Lingling was determined to shatter it completely.
She desperately wanted to get to the bottom of it—why had such restrictions been set in the first place?
"Dugu Feng, you've already received the trial of a god. No wonder you've become the fastest-rising genius. By the way, did Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul evolve in the same way?"
Ye Lingling suddenly remembered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was exposed, it happened to be during the Soul Master Competition.
It caused a huge sensation.
Ning Rongrong became the most popular female Soul Master participant in the competition.
At the time, she thought it was Rongrong's talent.
But after this incident, she believed it must have been Dugu Feng's assistance.
