Chapter 161

The bright lights made the entire bedroom look very warm. Beside the soft big bed, Xu Jiujiu gently covered Ruan Qinyu with a quilt. Looking at the rich illness of the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh.

Separated by a layer of gauze curtain, Su Mingxuan and Shu Yan sat opposite each other at the table, and the Medical Immortal Douluo and the Ice Empress sat on the side. As for Dugu Yan and Ling Luochen, they didn't come in and chose to wait outside.

Su Mingxuan's gaze swept over the Medical Immortal Douluo and the Ice Empress, then looked at Shu Yan, and the meaning was self-evident.

Shu Yan just said softly:

"These two are both our own people, no need to worry at all. Just say it directly, don't worry about anything else."

Su Mingxuan sighed upon hearing this, and without hesitation, said directly:

"Then I'll say it directly... Perhaps, you can't imagine that your mother would be from the evil soul master lineage, and even, her father was an evil soul master Super Douluo."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and then cast their eyes behind the gauze curtain. There, Ruan Qinyu lay quietly on the bed, her skin pale as if there was no life aura, but judging from her appearance alone, she should also be a gentle and kind person. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like she would be related to evil soul masters.

Su Mingxuan saw the incredulity of everyone, and continued: "I know you will feel this is incredible, but this is indeed a fact."

"Qin Yu's father was from the Sun Moon Empire, and he made quite a name for himself in the Sun Moon Empire when he was young. His martial soul was the Heavy Armor Insect King, a top-tier existence among defense-type and power-type martial souls. Soul masters with this martial soul have extremely amazing defense and power. If it weren't for soul masters who are a major realm higher than themselves, it would be very difficult to defeat them head-on."

"But later, after he broke through to the Soul Sage realm, he was targeted by a powerhouse of the Holy Spirit Cult. The reason was that there was an extinct soul beast bloodline in his Heavy Armor Insect King martial soul. That soul beast was called the Soul-Devouring Insect, which could quickly improve its cultivation by devouring the souls of humans or soul beasts, somewhat similar to the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor among soul beasts."

"After being caught by the Holy Spirit Cult, he was forcibly brainwashed, and the Holy Spirit Cult used special means to stimulate the awakening of the martial soul bloodline in his body. His own Heavy Armor Insect King martial soul also mutated into the Soul-Devouring Insect King, and his strength skyrocketed several times."

"In the next ten years or so, he repeatedly attacked and killed innocent civilians, towns, and even soul master powerhouses in the entire Sun Moon Empire to devour their souls, and also blood-washed several small soul beast forests with an invincible posture. His strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he stepped into the Titled Douluo level."

"When he successfully obtained his ninth soul ring, he stepped on the territory of the original three Douluo countries for the first time. But just when he was about to blood-wash a small town to devour souls again, he was discovered by an old-fashioned Titled Douluo powerhouse who possessed a holy-type martial soul. After a great battle, he luckily escaped with a secret method, but the light holy power of that Titled Douluo also remained in his body, constantly purifying the evil soul power in his body and the spiritual sea that had become filthy because of devouring too many souls of other living beings."

Su Mingxuan paused here, then continued: "The soul power of that Titled Douluo contained extremely powerful holy purification power. This ability could almost be said to be the natural enemy of evil soul masters. Once contaminated, it would cost a huge price to clear it."

"But precisely because of this, in the intense pain, he actually recovered his former memories for some reason."

"His original heart was not bad, but in the years of being brainwashed, he had already committed irreparable monstrous sins. He felt he had no face to live in the world, so he simply stopped suppressing the erosion of the holy power in his body, wanting to let himself die in endless pain, which could be considered as an explanation for what he had done in the past."

"But just when he was wandering in various places in the original three Douluo countries, he accidentally saved a noble girl from the Heavenly Soul who went out to obtain a soul ring. The gears of fate began to rotate ruthlessly at this moment."

"After many coincidental encounters, the two completely different but equally sad fates resonated. They fell in love in this situation, and soon had a daughter, and this daughter was exactly your mother."

Su Mingxuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a trace of sadness.

The cultivation method of devouring human and even soul beast souls was evil and bloody in itself, and the practitioner would even suffer severe soul backlash because of this. The souls he devoured were essentially merged with him, and those extreme hatreds and pains would also come to him because of this.

Coupled with the erosion of the light holy power in his body, his lifespan was not much. At this time, his traces were discovered by other evil soul masters.

After a great battle, he was seriously injured. In order to wait for his daughter to be born, he once again devoured the souls of the evil soul masters who came that time, and used this to break through to the Super Douluo level. But this also indicated that his lifespan was about to come to an end. Until he heard his daughter's first cry, he left with relief. Before he died, he looked back on his life—pathetic, sigh-worthy, and hateful. Heaven gave him a good start, but added such a change on the way, and gave him a light when he was most embarrassed and painful. But until the end, he still couldn't grasp it. Ruan Qinyu's mother also felt depressed because of the departure of her lover. Love is such a strange thing. Even if she knew that her lover was an evil soul master who slaughtered all living beings, she couldn't help but feel sad. For her, this former evil soul master powerhouse was an alternative redemption, taking her away from the nightmare of marriage and family, and giving her a dream-like experience.

After raising her daughter to adulthood, she still couldn't forget the past. Just as she was dying, she told her daughter everything about the past, including her husband's life experience, and closed her eyes forever.

And these past events were only learned by Su Mingxuan from her after he fell in love with Ruan Qinyu.

Fortunately, Ruan Qinyu did not inherit the evil martial soul from her father's generation, but inherited her mother's bell martial soul.

Unfortunately, because her father's identity was special and his ability was too special, the grievances and evil energy that once resided in her father's spiritual sea inexplicably transferred to her. Ruan Qinyu first discovered something wrong when she broke through to the Soul Ancestor realm. At that time, she was already in love with Su Mingxuan. Under Su Mingxuan's continuous questioning, she finally couldn't hide it.

From that time on, Ruan Qinyu's body got worse day by day, her cultivation speed got slower and slower, and in the end, her soul power level even regressed. The grievances in the spiritual sea made her often have nightmares and headaches, but everyone knew that this was just a beginning. In a few years, I'm afraid Ruan Qinyu would sooner or later end up like her father's generation.

Su Mingxuan naturally wouldn't let his wife suffer such a terrifying evil result because of her father's mistakes. In those years, he took Ruan Qinyu to all the places he could go, but he never found a way to solve Ruan Qinyu's spiritual sea.

Until after giving birth to Shu Yan, Ruan Qinyu at that time had reached the point where she had to face spiritual stinging every day. In her mind, it seemed that there were ghosts crying and wolves howling all the time, making her restless and difficult to sleep, and even her body became worse and worse because of these, and was rapidly developing in the direction of an incurable disease.

The general context and cause and effect of the matter entered the ears of everyone present from Su Mingxuan's mouth. While everyone was complicated, they were also extremely astonished.

Who could have imagined that Shu Yan's mother would be a descendant of an evil soul master Super Douluo.

But even if they knew this, I'm afraid they would guard it as an unspeakable secret for the rest of their lives. Shu Yan's significance to them was too important. Even if Shu Yan told them now that he still had a hidden evil martial soul, they could only cover for Shu Yan, because they were truly grasshoppers on the same boat as Shu Yan, not to mention that the potential Shu Yan displayed was too terrifying. Even if he was a pure-blooded evil soul master, as long as he was willing to "turn over a new leaf," there would be a large number of forces willing to scramble to wash him white...

After understanding the whole situation, the Ice Empress pondered for a moment, then said softly: "It is not difficult to solve the grievances and evil energy in Shu Yan's mother's spiritual sea. If I remember correctly, Shu Yan has corresponding means. The difficulty is how to stabilize her spiritual sea that is on the verge of breaking after solving those grievances, and then let her already decayed body regain vitality."

"The difficulty of doing this is indeed not small. Not to mention that her body has completely decayed due to years of erosion, having an exterior but no interior, the soul power in her body has also almost completely disappeared and dissipated. I'm afraid that even the martial soul has completely fallen into a deep sleep, and even the most basic life energy cannot be received and absorbed. If you ask me, this body of hers has no need for further repair at all. It is completely better to change to a new one."

After the Ice Empress finished speaking, Su Mingxuan, the Medical Immortal Douluo, and Shu Yan couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that the Ice Empress was being rude, but everything the Ice Empress said was reality, and it was also the best solution they could think of. But stabilizing the spiritual sea and changing to a new body...

It sounded very difficult, and in fact, it was indeed very difficult.

But Shu Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing this, as if he had thought of something.

If that idea could really be realized, reshaping the body was indeed not difficult for him. He had quite a few immortal herbs he had plucked from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, including the 100,000-year Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the 100,000-year Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

The medicinal effects of these two immortal herbs were complementary, especially the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, which was legendary for having the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Thinking of this, Shu Yan said: "Reshaping the body is not difficult. I have a way to solve it perfectly. As for stabilizing the spiritual sea, it is not a big deal..."

Shu Yan called out softly in his spiritual sea, and an old and somewhat funny voice sounded.

Electrolux lay on a lounge chair, feeling somewhat emotional for no reason. Having lived in Shu Yan's spiritual sea for so long, it was finally time for him to contribute again...
