She hadn't expected Ye Lingling to be so ruthless. The pain was almost unbearable, and she cursed inwardly, "Does she think she's forgotten her mother now that she has a lover?"
Nearly half an hour passed again, and this time, as Bai Yu became more proficient in the task, the speed increased considerably.
After he had fused the martial soul essence back into Ye Lingling's martial soul, he let out a long sigh of exhaustion and sat down on the chair next to her.
The two prolonged periods of intense concentration took a toll on his mental energy, and his temples were throbbing.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yu. Would you like me to arrange a room for you to rest for a bit?"
After Ye Qingyin helped Ye Lingling up, she saw Bai Yu sitting in a chair with a pale face, rubbing her temples with her fingers.
Upon hearing Ye Qingyin's question, Bai Yu opened her eyes, waved his hand, and said:
"It's nothing, just a bit of spiritual power expenditure. Aunt Ye, don't worry. Lingling, how are you? How are you feeling?"
Ye Lingling's face was covered in tears. She could also feel the indescribable relief that came after the martial soul shackles disappeared!
She then removed her veil, wiped away her tears, and revealed a radiant smile she hadn't shown since she was six years old.
"I'm fine! I've never been better! Thank you, Bai Yu, you brought me light!"
As Ye Lingling spoke, she excitedly ran to Bai Yu, reached out and pulled his head into her arms, giving him a facial massage!
(TL: im so jealous, zhuqing and Lingling are some of my favorites in this series)
Normally, this should be something to enjoy, but Bai Yu is feeling really bad right now.
He could only raise his hand to pat Ye Lingling's slender waist and offer words of comfort.
"It's okay, it's all in the past, things will get better. But Lingling, although I understand how excited you are, the sweat on your body could wash my face!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Ye Lingling realized what was happening, her pretty face turning bright red. She quickly released Bai Yu and stepped back.
Looking at the watermark on Bai Yu's face and her mother Ye Qingyin's ambiguous smile, Ye Lingling suddenly wanted to disappear into the ground!
She left behind only one sentence and then ran out in a panic.
"I...I'm going to take a shower. I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I won't stay with you guys. I'll be going now!"
After Ye Lingling ran far away, Ye Qingyin chuckled and said to Bai Yu:
"Hehe, Lingling used to live a very repressed life. Now that she's finally free, she's a little overreacting. Xiao Yu, don't mind her."
"Normally, Lingling is very gentle. By the way, Xiao Yu, do you want to take a shower? Your clothes are all wet."
"That girl is really something, she didn't even tidy herself up before rushing over to hug someone!"
Bai Yu felt a little awkward; Ye Qingyin's seemingly innocent yet cunning personality was really difficult to deal with.
He then snapped his fingers, and a curtain of water appeared, washing over him and instantly erasing all the marks on his body.
"Aunt Ye is joking. Lingling is just emotional, which I understand. As for taking a bath, there's no need. I can take care of myself."
Watching Bai Yu snap its fingers and a curtain of water cleanse itself, Ye Qingyin's eyes widened. She wanted to learn how to do that!
She walked behind Bai Yu, rested his head against her body, and raised her hands to massage his temples.
(TL: this mother in law is really spicy, seems like she'll probably join the harem)
"Xiao Yu, what's the name of that move you just used? Is it a self-created soul skill? Can you teach me?"
Bai Yu never expected that Ye Lingling would give him a facial massage, and then Ye Qingyin would give him a head massage!
Upon hearing her ask about the water curtain from earlier, Bai Yu gave a wry smile.
"Hehe, this is the water element among the four elements. As for learning it... many people have tried, but none have succeeded."
"Because the prerequisite for learning this is to comprehend the laws of elements, I later came to the conclusion that this thing is not something that humans can learn!"
This explanation made Ye Qingyin purse her lips, remove her hands from Bai Yu's head, and walk to sit down in the chair opposite him.
At the same time, she muttered to herself, "This little pervert, if you don't want to teach me, then don't teach me. Why do you have to talk about things that only humans can learn? If humans can't learn them, then what can? God?"
Feeling Ye Qingyin's actions, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile. This was so realistic!
He was unaware that Ye Qingyin was mentally criticizing him; otherwise, he would have definitely cried out that he was innocent, saying that this was something no human could learn!
"Alright, Xiao Yu, enough joking around. Now that you've resolved the Ye family's problem, it's time to tell us which faction you actually belong to."
"We can discuss any future arrangements together. I'll give instructions to the elders and then relay the message to the Ye family branch to prepare."
Bai Yu looked on in astonishment as Ye Qingyin transformed from a beautiful woman with a dark side into a powerful and noble patriarch.
He sighed to himself, women are indeed ever-changing; you never know which side of her is real and which is an act!
"Since Aunt Ye asked, I'll be frank. I come from Spirit Hall, and I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in this generation!"
"As for the arrangements... to be honest, I haven't been back to Spirit City for several years, and I really don't know what the Spirit Hall has been up to lately."
"I can only trouble the Ye family to send someone to Spirit City to see my teacher Bibi Dong and ask her if she has any plans."
Ye Qingyin showed no surprise, winked at Bai Yu, and had an expression that said, "I knew it."
"Hehe, that old guy Ye Shan was right. Ever since Lingling came home and mentioned you, Ye Shan guessed that you were either from the Spirit Hall or from that so-called Devil Island overseas!"
Hearing Ye Qingyin's words, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise:
"Why these two places? Let's not even talk about the Spirit Hall, why would you think of Sea God Island? And couldn't it be one of the three upper sects?"
A strange light flashed in Ye Qingyin's eyes. She thought to herself, "Devil Island, so it's called Sea God Island?"
A smile then appeared on her face, and she explained to Bai Yu:
"Hehe, it's not that we can't think of the three upper sects, but that the people of the three upper sects won't interfere in the affairs of our Ye family."
"The three upper sects only care about their own territory. Unless it's absolutely necessary, they are very xenophobic. Trying to win over the Ye family? Impossible!"
A realization dawned on Bai Yu's eyes. He was right; the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect were indeed very xenophobic.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Asking them to win over a support-type family? That's ridiculous!
Seeing Bai Yu's expression, Ye Qingyin knew he had figured it out, and then continued:
"As for why I thought of the Devil... Sea God Island, it's entirely because of Spirit Hall!"
"It is said that the Spirit Hall once launched an expedition to Sea God Island, but it ended in failure. The strength of Sea God Island is enough to put it into the scope of speculation!"
Bai Yu nodded in agreement with Ye Qingyin's assessment of Poseidon Island's strength.
"Aunt Ye is right. Sea God Island is indeed quite powerful, with seven Saint Pillar Douluos and one High Priest."
"The seven Holy Pillars are fine, there's only one Super Douluo, but that High Priest is a genuine Level 99 Limit Douluo, known as the invincible Ocean!"
