Chapter 13 Ye Lingling, Ye Qingyi
After a long time, Xiao Yin finally sat up from the mess.
Looking at the purple soul ring in front of him, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes!
"Swallow...the soul ring!"
Buzz——!
The Taotie phantom opened its huge mouth, and a powerful suction force enveloped the purple soul ring.
The soul ring struggled and resisted, but was eventually pulled forcibly, slowly falling down and wrapping around Xiao Yin!
Boom—!
An energy torrent that was ten times stronger than the one he had absorbed from the Millennium Soul Ring instantly rushed into Xiao Yin's body!
"Ah—!!!"
Xiao Yin couldn't help but howl!
His body was shaking violently, and the blood vessels on the surface of his skin were bulging as if they were about to burst!
The violent energy rushed through his meridians, and tearing pain swept through his body!
"Refine it for me...!"
Xiao Yin's eyes were bloodshot, and blood began to seep out of all his orifices!
It is a long and painful process.
Xiao Yin's consciousness repeatedly struggled on the edge of severe pain and coma, supported entirely by an unyielding determination.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yin suddenly opened his eyes!
Two rays of light as condensed as substance burst out from his eyes!
Level twenty-four!
Great Soul Master!
The second soul ring of two thousand five hundred years!
The second soul skill: Devouring Essence: When attacking the opponent, it can devour 20% of the target's soul power and feed it back to itself, and the excess soul power can be converted into a shield!
This is... a blue-absorbing knife?
After Xiao Yin learned about his second soul skill, he was a little speechless.
The first soul skill + the second soul skill = Bloodthirsty Sword + Blue-Absorbing Knife!
Am I a perpetual motion machine?!
But... I like it!
A smile appeared on Xiao Yin's lips. He struggled to stand up, ignoring the severe pain and scars all over his body, and walked to the huge corpse of the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard.
Start devouring again, and completely turn its remains into food for the glutton!
Just as Xiao Yin was refining the energy fed back to him by the Taotie spirit, suddenly, a very light sound of footsteps came from the dense forest behind him.
The footsteps were cautious, with obvious vigilance, but not deliberately hidden.
Xiao Yin's heart trembled!
"Who?!"
Xiao Yin forcibly interrupted part of the refining and immediately collected the remains of the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard in front of him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sharply.
He turned sideways, his bloodshot eyes scanning vigilantly in the direction of the person coming.
Three people gradually appeared at the edge of the dense forest.
The leader was a woman who looked to be about thirty years old, tall and plump.
She was wearing a well-tailored moon-white outfit that perfectly outlined her mature and attractive curves.
The most eye-catching thing is the amazingly full curve of her chest, which is about to burst out from under the tight clothes!
As her slightly rapid breathing rose and fell slightly, it formed a breathtaking landscape.
But this sexiness does not become vulgar, but is neutralized by the gentle and calm temperament between her eyebrows.
Like a ripe peach, it exudes a rich and restrained fragrance.
Exquisite facial features, fair and delicate skin, and soft long dark blue hair simply tied behind the head, revealing a slender and graceful swan neck.
At this moment, her blue eyes were looking at the bloody battlefield and the young man sitting in a pool of blood with shock that was difficult to conceal.
Next to her, right next to her, was a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.
The girl also had short dark blue hair, and her face looked even more delicate and pale.
Her eyes were big, and at this moment she was looking at Xiao Yin timidly with a complex emotion of curiosity and an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Half a step behind this pair of elegant mother and daughter was a middle-aged woman wearing black leather armor and a dagger at her waist.
Well... it looks like this should be a follower guard, so she is not important!
"Sorry to bother you."
The mature woman in the lead spoke first.
Ye Qingyi's voice was gentle and soft, with a strange soothing power, which instantly diluted the blood and brutality that filled the scene.
"We mean no harm. We were simply passing through and were drawn by the battle. ...You appear to be seriously injured."
Indeed, at this moment, Xiao Yin was shirtless, with a deep tear on his left shoulder that could be seen to the bone, and a large area of charred black and bruised on his back.
Ye Qingyi's gaze fell on the hideous wounds on Xiao Yin's body. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed genuine worry.
This worry is not a disguise, but the 30% favorability brought by [Plant Affinity] is at work!
Ye Lingling also subconsciously grasped the corner of her mother's clothes. There was less fear in her light blue eyes, but instead a hint of concern for Xiao Yin's injury.
Her little mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Xiao Yin's tense nerves did not relax.
But he could clearly feel that this pair, who looked like mother and daughter, exuded an extremely pure and gentle breath of life.
Especially the mature woman, her breath is full of vitality.
Not only was this aura not hostile, it seemed to ease the violent energy in his body and the burning pain caused by his injuries.
Especially the pure eyes of the little girl, which dissipated a lot of the hostility in his heart.
"Just passing by?"
Xiao Yin's voice was filled with caution, "It's very dangerous here, you'd better leave."
As he spoke, he secretly accelerated the refining of the remaining energy in his body, and at the same time, he paid a little attention to guard against any unexpected accidents that might happen at any time.
Ye Qingyi looked at Xiao Yin who was enduring the pain but remained on guard, and her concern for him grew even stronger due to the good impression she had of him.
She said softly, "We are here to obtain a second spirit ring for my daughter. We have been searching the outer areas for several days without success, so we have entered the mixed area.
...You are seriously injured. If you don't receive timely treatment, you may damage your root. I..."
She paused, seeming a little hesitant, but the natural goodwill brought by [Plant Affinity] ultimately prevailed.
"My spirit is the Nine-Hearted Begonia. Perhaps it can help stabilize your injuries."
Nine-Hearted Begonia?!
Xiao Yin was shocked!
It turned out to be the top-level healing weapon spirit—Nine-Hearted Begonia!
No wonder the breath of life is so pure and vast!
So, that little girl who looks a bit socially anxious is Ye Lingling?!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yin couldn't help but sigh, what a fate!
Although he also wanted to experience the feeling of being treated, who knew if the other party had other ideas.
Just when he was weighing the pros and cons, preparing to decline and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible—
[Ding! Strong associated desire detected! Task matching successful!]

Xiao Yin: "…"
