Chapter 53: A Treasure Gift for a Beautiful Woman.
Dugu Yan was completely unable to comprehend what she was seeing.
Fortunately, the second soul ring is still purple and has not changed.
However, when the third soul ring appeared.
It was a halo as black as ink, quietly swirling around, emanating a sense of oppression that made everyone present, except Ye Xingyue, feel breathless.
"Black…black…" Dugu Yan's voice trembled. "The third soul ring…a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
As a six-ring Soul King, Ye Xingyue knew best what this meant.
She looked at the boy standing calmly in the black halo, and for a moment she was speechless.
What kind of incredible opportunity did this child encounter on his trip?
"Brother Ye, you're amazing!"
Ning Rongrong's cheers broke the silence. She didn't have a deep understanding of the significance of the Soul Ring's year; she only knew that black represented the strongest.
Ye Xuanming withdrew his martial spirit, and the pressure in the living room suddenly dissipated.
Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, he explained, "I accidentally obtained some opportunities related to the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which allowed both the Martial Soul and the Soul Ring to evolve."
This explanation is vague, but it's sufficient.
After recovering from the huge shock, everyone's expressions towards Ye Xuanming changed.
"You're a monster," Dugu Yan finally managed to squeeze out after a long while.
Ye Lingling silently walked to his side, said nothing, and just quietly looked at him.
Ye Xingyue let out a long breath, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
"Good, good boy."
Just then, Ye Xuanming took out another item from his storage soul tool.
It was a purplish-black scorpion tail that shimmered with an eerie light. As soon as it appeared, a cold and enormous energy wave spread out in all directions.
"This is... an external soul bone!" This time, even Ye Xingyue could not remain calm.
Soul bones are rare to begin with, and external soul bones are even more legendary treasures.
Ye Xuanming handed the dark green scorpion tail bone to Dugu Yan.
"Sister Yanzi, this is for you."
"This soul beast is of the poison attribute and is compatible with your martial soul. Absorbing it will greatly increase your strength. Moreover, the toxins produced by your future martial soul can be injected into it, and there will be no risk of snake venom backlash."
Dugu Yan subconsciously took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly, "No! This is too precious, I can't accept it!"
Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong also watched this scene in shock.
That's an external soul bone, a treasure second only to a 100,000-year soul ring on the Soul Master's dream list. How could Ye Xuanming just give it away so casually?
Ye Xingyue looked at Ye Xuanming, her face beaming with an undisguised smile.
My daughter has really found a good man.
Seeing that Dugu Yan was determined not to accept the offer, Ye Xuanming's attitude also hardened.
"Sister Yanzi, you'll be my woman sooner or later, so don't be so formal with me."
His words were direct and domineering.
Dugu Yan's face instantly turned bright red, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.
Ye Xuanming then turned to Ye Lingling, his voice softening.
"Sister Lingling, you too."
A blush rose on Ye Lingling's cheeks, and she nodded gently.
Hearing this, Ye Xingyue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Xuanming, how old are you to say such things?"
Ye Xuanming was a little embarrassed by the teasing and touched his nose.
At this tender moment, Ning Rongrong jumped out from the side.
"Brother Xuanming, what about me? What about me!"
The little girl looked at him expectantly.
Ning Rongrong's innocent and carefree "What about me? What about me?" instantly dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Ye Xuanming was both amused and exasperated, so he could only squat down and pat her little head.
"Rongrong is still young. When you grow up, your brother Ye will give you a gift."
Ning Rongrong nodded as if she understood, but she was still very happy.
Dugu Yan looked at the scorpion tail soul bone in her hand, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
This is not only a priceless treasure, but also Ye Xuanming's heartfelt sentiment.
She no longer declined and solemnly put the soul bone away. "Thank you, Xuanming."
...
Night falls.
Dugu Yan's room was brightly lit.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, the purplish-black scorpion tail bone resting quietly on her lap.
Ye Xingyue stood behind her, while Ye Xuanming stood at the doorway.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervous yet expectant feelings.
She looked at Ye Xuanming, who made an encouraging gesture towards her.
Dugu Yan felt a warmth in her heart and no longer hesitated.
She picked up the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone and attached it to the end of her spine behind her back.
Guided by her soul power, the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone transformed into a stream of purplish-black light and instantly merged into her body.
"Well!"
Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, her body trembling violently.
A massive, icy energy exploded within her body, surging wildly.
"Keep your mind focused!"
Ye Xingyue's voice rang in her ears.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, channeling her soul power to resist the energy within her soul bone.
Her martial spirit, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, emerged uncontrollably from behind her, its dark green body twisting violently, its eyes flashing with purple light, emitting uneasy hisses.
The venomous energy of the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone began to clash violently with her own Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom.
Two different deadly poisons devoured and fought each other inside her body, causing her unimaginable pain.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Dugu Yan's forehead, and her face turned pale.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuanming immediately raised his right hand.
"Third Soul Skill, Life's Praise."
A soft green light emanated and enveloped Dugu Yan.
Warm and pure life energy flowed into her body, rapidly repairing her damaged meridians and calming her frenzied martial spirit.
With the support of life energy, Dugu Yan's stress was greatly reduced.
She seized the opportunity and focused all her efforts on guiding her own Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, actively fusing it with the foreign scorpion venom.
This process is extremely dangerous, but the rewards are also enormous.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The conflict within Dugu Yan's body gradually subsided, and the two deadly poisons began to reach a new balance.
Her Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had its scales become even deeper in color, faintly glowing with a layer of purple light.
Finally, after the last trace of scorpion venom energy was completely absorbed, Dugu Yan's body stopped trembling.
A purplish-black scorpion tail phantom, identical to that of the soul bone, extended from the end of her spine.
The phantom was initially blurry, but it quickly solidified.
It is perfectly integrated with the body of the lone goose, as if it was born there.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, and a flash of purple light disappeared.
She could feel an unprecedented surge of power within her.
With a thought, she lashed out with her scorpion tail.
"Whoosh!"
The scorpion's tail traced a sharp, purplish-black afterimage in the air, moving at an extreme speed, even producing a soft popping sound in the air.
It was a success!
Dugu Yan felt this new power, and the joy in her heart was beyond words.
She stood up, turned to face Ye Xuanming, and her emotions surged like a tidal wave.
This gift is too heavy.
It was so important that she didn't know how to repay it.
Looking at the young man before her who had spared no expense for her sake, all her words seemed pale and powerless.
Dugu Yan did not say "thank you" once.
She walked step by step to Ye Xuanming, and while Ye Xuanming and Ye Xingyue were both somewhat taken aback, she stood on tiptoe and stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck.
Then, she pressed her warm, moist lips firmly against his.
