Chapter 73: The Desolate Begonia Blooms Under the Night.
"Lingling, you're here!"
Dugu Yan loosened her grip on Ye Xuanming's waist, walked to the door, and affectionately took Ye Lingling's arm.
"Oh, thank you for bringing us breakfast so early in the morning."
Ye Lingling had a faint smile on her lips.
"Xuanming didn't sleep all night, he must be hungry."
As she spoke, she handed the tray to Ye Xuanming.
"Come in first, it's cool outside," Ye Xuanming said gently as he took the tray.
Dugu Yan also pulled Ye Lingling along, half-pushing and half-reluctantly leading her into the room.
"Perfect, we can eat together."
As Dugu Yan spoke, she took the tray from Ye Xuanming and placed the hot porridge and several side dishes on the table.
She pulled Ye Lingling to sit down, and then sat down next to Ye Xuanming herself.
"Xuanming, try it. Is it as delicious as before?"
She handed the spoon to Ye Xuanming in an affectionate tone.
Ye Xuanming took the spoon, took a bite, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Mmm, it still tastes the same."
Ye Lingling also began feeding Ye Xuanming. Ye Xuanming watched the harmonious scene of the three of them and felt calm.
At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling again and asked:
"Lingling, how did your chat with Rongrong go last night?"
A faint blush rose on Ye Lingling's cheeks.
"She's doing well, sleeping soundly."
"Hmph, that little girl probably spent the whole night thinking about showing off, and fell asleep feeling completely satisfied."
Dugu Yan joked.
Laughter from the three people echoed in the room.
...
Ye Xuanming did not go out that day.
Having just tasted the pleasure, Dugu Yan spent the entire day by Ye Xuanming's side.
The two were practicing their soul skills on the grass in the backyard.
Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorous Poison Dragon Soul Power became even more solid, and when she unleashed her fourth Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorous Dragon Transformation, she was able to withstand several blows from Ye Xuanming, who had activated the Ink Jade Transformation.
Of course, Ye Xuanming did not use his full strength.
"You've made great progress." Ye Xuanming put away the Blue Silver Grass and looked at Dugu Yan, who was covered in sweat.
"Of course." Dugu Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked over to lean against him.
"Although Teacher Qin Ming's training is very tough, the results are indeed good."
She tilted her head back and spoke as if seeking praise.
"How about it? My strength is worthy of you, isn't it?"
"Sister Yanzi has always been worthy of it."
Ye Xuanming tidied her hair, which was soaked with sweat.
In the afternoon, the two of them stayed in the room.
Dugu Yan leaned against Ye Xuanming's chest, recounting her experiences from this training.
From Tiandou City to several surrounding cities, her winning streak in the ten major battle arenas, and the bizarre opponents she encountered.
Her tone was full of confidence and pride.
"Unfortunately, there are hardly any opponents left at the Soul Master level."
"Teacher Qin Ming said that we should go to the Barak Kingdom, which is close to the border, where there are more Soul Masters and more powerful individuals."
Ye Xuanming listened quietly.
He knew that the Royal Fighting Team would encounter the main characters from the original work on this trip.
Time passed in a warm atmosphere.
As evening approached, Ye Xingyue prepared dinner.
At the dining table, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong each shared interesting stories from their day, while Ye Lingling listened quietly.
Looking at the three girls who were as close as sisters, Ye Xuanming felt very satisfied.
Ye Xingyue watched the three girls getting along well, a loving smile on her face.
After dinner, the group sat in the living room chatting.
...
Night was falling.
After seeing Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong off, Ye Xuanming returned to his room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, recalling the conversation between Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong, and their acceptance of Ye Lingling.
Ye Xuanming knew that this was the best outcome for him and for them.
Not long after, a very light knock was heard on the door.
Ye Xuanming got up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Ye Lingling.
She had already taken a bath, and her body was damp with moisture and had a delicate, orchid-like fragrance.
She changed out of her outfit and was wearing only a simple nightgown.
The nightgown was made of a light and thin material, clinging tightly to her slender curves.
The skirt was very short, only reaching mid-thigh, exposing two long, straight calves to the air, their skin glowing white in the moonlight.
Her long, light blue hair was not tied up, but cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few playful strands falling in front of her chest, adding to her cool and aloof temperament.
Ye Lingling stood quietly outside the door.
"Xuanming, won't you invite me in for a seat?" Ye Lingling asked softly.
Ye Xuanming stepped aside to let her in.
The door was closed gently.
Ye Lingling did not sit down, but walked straight to Ye Xuanming.
She raised her head, and in her clear, cold eyes, she saw Ye Xuanming's figure.
"Xuanming, I don't want your apology."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable determination.
"I don't want to wait any longer."
She reached out and gently stroked Ye Xuanming's cheek.
Ye Xuanming's heart was struck hard by her words.
He took her cold hand and pulled her into his arms.
Her body was very soft, with a slight coolness to it.
"Fool," Ye Xuanming said in a low voice.
He lowered his head and kissed Ye Lingling's lips.
This kiss was neither as exploratory and novel as the one with Ning Rongrong, nor as fiery and conquest-filled as the one with Dugu Yan.
It is light and gentle, carrying tenderness and cherishment.
Ye Lingling was a little awkward at first, but soon she closed her eyes and immersed herself in it wholeheartedly.
Her emotions, which had been suppressed for too long, found an outlet at this moment.
She was no longer the aloof and cold Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master, but just an ordinary girl who longed for love and to be loved.
Ye Xuanming scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bedside.
Moonlight streamed through the window screen, illuminating the room's floor and her light blue hair, creating a hazy glow.
She lay in bed, like a quiet painting.
Ye Xuanming leaned down and gently kissed away the moisture from the corner of her eyes.
Those were tears of joy.
"Lingling, don't be afraid."
He could feel her body trembling slightly.
Ye Lingling shook her head, stretched out her arms, and tightly wrapped them around his neck.
"I'm not afraid."
She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice muffled.
"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Nine-Heart Begonia: She loves only one person in her lifetime.
From the moment she decided to accept him, she had already tied her entire life to him.
The bed curtains slowly fell, isolating the outside world from everything.
In the room, a solitary crabapple blossom quietly blooms for one person in the night.
...
the next day.
Ye Xuanming woke up when the first rays of dawn shone into the room.
Ye Lingling slept peacefully in his arms like a gentle kitten, with glistening tears still clinging to her long eyelashes.
Last night, she gave him everything without reservation.
Ye Xuanming lowered his head and planted a kiss on her smooth forehead.
He could sense that the soul power within her body seemed to have become more refined, creating a strange resonance between it and his soul power.
This may be the special feature of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
