Chapter 84: The Fall of Emperor Xue Ye, The Collapse of Xue Qinghe (6k)_3
"You might not believe it, but my strength soared after I ate half of that herb."
Dugu Yan spread her hands.
"Hmm, now that you put it that way, I really don't believe it."
Ye Lingling nodded without hesitation, agreeing with Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan: "...."
Do you have to be so direct?
But I'm telling the truth.
"Okay then, I'll tell you. My grandfather made a medicinal pill for me. After I took it, my strength greatly increased. Do you believe that?"
Dugu Yan asked again.
"I believe!"
"That's more like it."
It wasn't just Ye Lingling nodding, the others also acknowledged Dugu Yan's words.
Dugu Yan: "ヘ(´ｏ｀)ヘ."
She was resigned.
The truth was unbelievable, but the nonsense she made up was acknowledged by so many people.
Forget it.
Let them believe what they want.
Then, she turned to Yu Tianheng and asked, "Yu Tianheng, do you have anything else to say now?"
Yu Tianheng fell silent.
Dugu Yan sighed, "Yu Tianheng, let me reiterate once more, my unwillingness to be with you has nothing to do with strength or talent. It's simply because I don't like you, that's all."
"Then what kind of person do you actually like, am I not good enough?" Yu Tianheng felt truly desperate.
However.
Before Dugu Yan could say anything further, a voice suddenly rang out in the area.
"Perfect, you're all here!"
As the voice fell, a figure appeared in the midst of the crowd, accompanied by a burst of strong winds.
The people all looked in that direction.
Was that not Dream Divine Machine in sight?
At the same time, they noticed that beside Meng Shengji stood a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
In his arms, he was holding someone.
When did they arrive?
As Dugu Yan's gaze fell upon Qin Xiao, her eyes uncontrollably flashed with joy.
She never expected to see Qin Xiao here.
"You, how did you come here?"
She ignored Dream Divine Machine completely and addressed Qin Xiao directly.
Even her excitement made her speech somewhat incoherent.
"There are some matters that need to be dealt with," Qin Xiao answered simply.
This scene was silently observed by Yu Tianheng, who was standing next to Dugu Yan.
He involuntarily clenched his fists, so hard that his nails dug into his flesh.
Yet, he seemed not to feel any pain.
"It's him, it has to be him!"
"Dugu Yan must like him!" Yu Tianheng believed his own judgment because he saw an unprecedented sparkle in Dugu Yan's eyes.
How he had longed for Dugu Yan to look at him like that.
Subconsciously, his gaze turned back to Qin Xiao.
Immediately, he felt a surge of resentment.
What's so great about this guy?
Is he just taller, handsomer, and seemingly younger than me?
Beyond that, what does he have?
"All right, Ye Lingling, you stay. Everyone else, step back for now."
This process might have seemed lengthy, but it all took place within a span of a few breaths.
When Dream Divine Machine's voice resounded in everyone's ears, their subconscious reaction was to comply.
Even though Dugu Yan's gaze lingered on Qin Xiao with reluctance...
Her body honestly left the place anyway.
This scene was once again seen by Yu Tianheng.
He felt another pang of heartache, it was just too damn painful!
"No, I must confront this guy later and figure out who he really is."
Yu Tianheng made up his mind.
Within moments.
Only Qin Xiao, Dream Divine Machine, Ye Lingling, and the unconscious Xue Qinghe remained in the area.
Ye Lingling watched everyone calmly, sensing that they probably needed her to heal someone.
"Your Highness, shall we begin now?"
Dream Divine Machine turned around and asked Qin Xiao with respect.
Qin Xiao nodded indifferently, "Let's get started then."
He said, and carefully laid Xue Qinghe down on the ground.
Both of them didn't think much of it.
On the other hand, Ye Lingling was unsettled.
What was this situation?
The President called this young man 'Your Highness'?
Could it be that this young man was a Titled Douluo-level expert?
Ye Lingling could hardly believe it.
After all, Qin Xiao was too young. In the history of Soul Land, there had never been such a prodigy, had there?
But then again, Dream Divine Machine's solemn expression and respectful demeanor didn't seem feigned...
It was actually quite normal that she did not recognize Qin Xiao.
In Tiandou City, very few people had actually seen Qin Xiao in action. Even those aware of Qin Xiao's strength wouldn't widely publicize it.
After all, no one knew the temperament of this Titled Douluo-level expert...
As for the hype that Avalanche tried to create for Qin Xiao earlier, those who heard about it took it as a joke.
As Ye Lingling was sizing up Qin Xiao, he also couldn't help but take a second look at Ye Lingling.
She truly exuded a special sense of mystery.
It made one eager to discover the secrets she held.
"Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling."
At this moment, Dream Divine Machine called out, "Please do your utmost to heal the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince!?
Ye Lingling felt another jolt in her heart; this was yet another major figure.
"Rest assured, President. I will do my absolute best!"
As she spoke, her hands came together, and a splendid Nine-Heart Begonia flower appeared between her palms.
Simultaneously, three Soul Rings, yellow and purple, emerged from beneath her feet and lit up at the same time.
A series of green halos rippled outward.
Enveloping Qin Xiao, Dream Divine Machine, and Xue Qinghe within.
This was Ye Lingling's soul skill, Healing!
It was also her only soul skill.
