Chapter 145: Disturbed Heart

Safe and sound—that is the adjective for the process of Ye Lingling absorbing her Soul Ring, and at the same time, there were no surprises with her Soul Ring either.

The Nine Heart Begonia martial soul has only one function, and that is healing.

No matter how many Soul Rings Ye Lingling has, her soul skills are all considered to be just one—Healing Light, an area-of-effect group Healing Spirit Skill, with the degree of healing controlled by her will.

However, the higher Ye Lingling's soul power level and the more Soul Rings she has, the more soul power she uses for healing; likewise, the higher the age of the Soul Ring, the stronger the effect of the Healing Spirit Skill.

This Thousand-Year Spirit Ring from the Azure Scale Flying Fish provides her with better healing effects.

According to what Ye Lingling said, the Healing Light of this Soul Ring, when activated at her full capacity, has a healing effect that has increased by a full two times compared to the Healing Light of her previous second Soul Ring!

Which is to say, it has tripled!

The Thousand-Year Spirit Ring has already achieved a qualitative change through quantitative change, so while theoretically the optimal third Soul Ring age is twice that of the second, the healing enhancement effect is not as simple as just being twice the original.

With Ye Lingling's healing soul skill effect greatly enhanced, Ning Feiliu truly will not have much to fear in the future.

With Ye Lingling's support, he is truly going to completely become a berserker!

As for getting injured, he is not afraid at all!

After waiting for Ye Lingling to finish absorbing the Soul Ring, Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling had no intention of staying in the Sunset Forest.

They left the Sunset Forest directly, because the Sunset Forest is far smaller in area than the Star Dou Great Forest, and where they were currently located was merely the area where hundred-year Soul Beasts gather near the area where thousand-year Soul Beasts gather; they had not gone deep into the Sunset Forest at all.

Therefore, they left the Sunset Forest that very night.

Ning Feiliu also did not intend to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again; he had already told Dugu Bo in advance that he was helping Ye Lingling obtain a Soul Ring today and would then escort Ye Lingling back to Heaven Dou City, so if it were too late, he would not go over.

After all, Ye Lingling is an Auxiliary System Soul Master; even after sending her out of the Sunset Forest, it would not be very safe for her to return to Heaven Dou City by herself.

Moreover, after the incident with Hu Da today, how could Ning Feiliu dare to let Ye Lingling go back alone?

Only after escorting Ye Lingling all the way back to the vicinity of her Ye Mansion did Ning Feiliu feel at ease.

As a renowned Auxiliary System Soul Master within Heaven Dou City, the mansion of Ye Lingling's family is in no way inferior to the mansions of those wealthy and powerful families.

One could see that above the towering gate hung a massive plaque, inscribed with the words "Nine Heart Ye Family," the brushwork exquisite and the meaning of the words profound and powerful, making Ye Lingling's home appear quite luxurious.

"Alright, Lingling, you should head back quickly," Ning Feiliu said to Ye Lingling with a smile, "I wish you a good dream tonight."

Ye Lingling looked at Ning Feiliu, but she was hesitant to speak; she had narrowly escaped death this day.

It seemed to have made her understand a bit of her own heart.

But what was she supposed to say to Ning Feiliu?

At the mere thought of Dugu Yan, the words she wanted to say felt as if they were blocked by a stone.

She thought of some words that were not blocked, and asked, "Then are you still going to the Soul Fighting Arena tomorrow?"

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Of course! Hmm... but if you don't want to come tomorrow, you can also take a day off, you don't have to be with me..."

"No..." But at this moment, Ye Lingling interrupted his words, a trace of determination appearing in her beautiful eyes, "It's settled, we will meet at the Great Spirit Arena tomorrow."

Seeing that Ning Feiliu's eyes seemed to reveal a hint of confusion, she immediately added, "You helped me obtain a Soul Ring, so of course I must help you achieve your goal."

"Then... thank you," Ning Feiliu realized, and said with a smile, "However, I know the things that happened today were somewhat perilous, so it would be best if you didn't cultivate tonight; get a good sleep to calm your mood... still the same thing, I wish you a good dream."

"Mm, I also wish you a good dream," Ye Lingling said softly.

"Good night," Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Good... night? Mm... good night," Ye Lingling said at last.

Then she returned home, where her father Ye Tianxin was sitting in the main hall, waiting for her.

"That must be that high disciple of Mr. Dugu—Yafei, right?" Ye Tianxin said to Ye Lingling, a doting smile tracing his lips.

It seemed he had been watching Ye Lingling and Ning Feiliu just now.

"Mm," Ye Lingling only responded with a sound, then said, "Father, I'm tired; I'm going to wash up first and then return to my room to rest."

She then slowly passed by Ye Tianxin and walked toward the back of the hall.

But Ye Tianxin just took a light sip of tea and said, "Lingling... don't have any misgivings; feelings do not need to be restrained."

This sentence made Ye Lingling's delicate body tremble slightly.

But she did not say anything, instead pausing for a moment before continuing to walk toward the back.

Only her heart was in complete turmoil.

That night, Ning Feiliu rarely did not conduct experiments, nor did he cultivate, but instead had a long-lost, baby-like sleep.

He truly had a beautiful dream; in the dream, he sat high upon a divine throne, watching the suffering of the world in silence, yet those voices he had heard in his past life still echoed incessantly in his ears.

"Life and death, the cycle continues."

"One hand placed on the scale—how can there be any true balance?"

"The heavens fear me, not because I am a god, but because I am a mortal!"

"Gods do not need believers; it is the believers who need gods."

"In the end, everything will..."

"The path ahead... is illuminated by light, and also outlined by darkness!"

These voices emerged in Ning Feiliu's dream, yet were forgotten by him when he awoke.

On the other side, Ye Lingling did not fall asleep as she had wished, yet she was also unable to sit and cultivate.

Her heart was in turmoil all night long, and it did not calm down.

The night passed without a word; Ning Feiliu woke up early the next day, the long-lost beautiful dream leaving him feeling refreshed.

Sometimes, although constant cultivation to improve one's strength as soon as possible is the golden rule.

But at other times, being too tense easily leads to problems; the education from his past life had already taught Ning Feiliu one principle.

Study, work, and life all require a balance of tension and relaxation; only then will there be better results.

Ning Feiliu is not always this relaxed; most of the time he is grinding tasks, doing experiments, cultivating, and engaging in real-combat Spirit Fighting; those who know him all know that he is a very busy person in his daily life.

He only relaxed like this once every two or three months to adjust his state of mind.

Ever since he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he had always done this, and until now, no problems had ever arisen.

"I'll wash up, eat some breakfast, and get ready to meet Lingling at the Great Spirit Arena." Ning Feiliu stretched, loosened his stiff muscles and Bone after sleeping, and immediately got up to wash.

Just at this moment, however, someone he never expected came to find him.

"Feiliu... are you there?"

A voice extremely familiar to Ning Feiliu drifted in from outside the medical clinic's main door.

"Big Brother?" Ning Feiliu said, feeling somewhat stunned upon hearing this voice.
