Chapter 472: Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul Evolves, Young Master Xu Ran is a Gentleman_1

"Hmph, Stinky Xu Ran, always hugging Zhu Qing. Lecher," Ning Rongrong pouted, feeling discontent but powerless to change anything, as Zhu Zhuqing's figure was indeed much better than hers and Xiaowu's.

She didn't understand how Zhu Qing had grown up; despite being about the same age as them, her body was like that of a mature woman in her thirties or forties, causing extreme envy in her.

She ate papayas every day, but to no avail.

Perhaps, this was fate.

"Who said that? I'll hug anyone, I'll hug you all the same," Xu Ran smiled, and with a sweep of his arm, he pulled both Ning Rongrong and Xiaowu into his embrace.

Then...

...

Yue Xuan.

Tang Yuehua returned to her room and took out the potion that Xu Ran had given her.

"Young Master Xu Ran, what exactly is this you've given me?" Tang Yuehua bit her silver teeth tightly, staring at the sparkling and translucent small bottle in front of her, which seemed to hold some kind of white liquid that appeared to be extraordinary.

This potion was the Talent Enhancement Potion, the reward from the System Miss Sister for the last mission, with a total of five bottles. After giving one bottle to Bai Chenxiang, there were four bottles left.

"Although Young Master Xu Ran is somewhat promiscuous in that respect, he is still an excellent person," Tang Yuehua murmured and downed the potion. She believed Xu Ran would not harm her.

"What is this?"

"Could it be that Young Master Xu Ran is also that kind of person?"

After swallowing the potion, Tang Yuehua felt a burning heat throughout her body, as if she had swallowed a ball of fire, and with no experience in such matters, she thought Xu Ran had made her swallow that kind of drug. She became disappointed in Xu Ran.

In truth, this was the real phenomenon of a cultivator ingesting a spiritual medicine treasure. However, since Tang Yuehua wasn't a Soul Master and her Soul Power was stuck at level nine, without the powerful Soul Power to refine the medicinal strength, it manifested more intensely.

Tang Yuehua had never embarked on the path of cultivation and thus did not understand that this was a real phenomenon of cultivation.

At the moment, she simply thought that Xu Ran had drugged her. She felt wronged and despondent.

"Young Master Xu Ran, why did you have to do this? If you truly wanted it, you could have just said so, wouldn't I have obliged?" Tang Yuehua spoke in despair, her eyes brimming with tears.

From the moment she met Xu Ran, she had taken a liking to him.

Even though Xu Ran had been frivolous with her today, she wasn't very angry, nor did she break off relations with him to avoid seeing him again out of propriety. In fact, she was looking forward to discussing the guqin with Xu Ran and having deep exchanges. Even though Xu Ran's frivolity had been somewhat uncomfortable, it felt surprisingly pleasant, with no discomfort at all.

For a while, she even considered discussing the true essence of life and living with Xu Ran.

Because Xu Ran had said, "Art comes from life and is above life. If one cannot step into life and experience it, they cannot create great works of art."

But now, faced with Xu Ran's true character, how could she face him in the future?

If Xu Ran had forcefully wanted to take her, she would have just lamented in her heart. As long as Xu Ran showed her some care, she would not mind his past actions towards her.

But, that Xu Ran might drug her; this was something she could never accept.

Tears flowed from Tang Yuehua's eyes, and after a while, she froze, because the strong sense of discomfort in her body was dissipating rapidly, replaced by a cool and comfortable sensation enveloping her entire being.

All of a sudden, Tang Yuehua became dumbfounded, her whole person disheveled in the wind.

Wasn't she drugged? How could it be that the sensation disappeared?

"Could it be that I've wronged Young Master Xu Ran?" Tang Yuehua murmured to herself, her cheeks flushing with shame, wishing she could just faint away. How could she have had such thoughts about Xu Ran, when he was far from being a despicable, shameless lecher?

"The sensation I felt just now must have been the reaction to absorbing some kind of treasure..." Tang Yuehua said, hurriedly checking her own body.

"How, how is this possible? My 'Cultivation Level'? "

Tang Yuehua stood still, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.

Her 'Cultivation Level' had broken through; she was now at level ten, and the Soul Power within her meridians was surging powerfully, dozens of times stronger than before.

Although her 'Cultivation Level' was only at ten, her reserves of Soul Power far exceeded the limits of this level.

If she were to acquire a Soul Ring now, she might be able to directly become a Grand Soul Master, a Soul Elder, or even a Soul Ancestor...

Tang Yuehua didn't know exactly how much Soul Power she should have, but she knew that she had received a great fortune this time, and from now on, she could start cultivating like a normal person.

"Young Master Xu Ran, is this the fortune you've granted me? Thank you," Tang Yuehua said, her cheeks hot with excitement as the sound and image of Xu Ran surfaced in her mind, her eyes filled with wonder.

Thinking of how she had just doubted Xu Ran, she wished she could slap herself.

Was Xu Ran's character something she could doubt? If Xu Ran knew what she had been thinking, wouldn't he be utterly disheartened?

Indeed, she was projecting her petty thoughts on a nobleman. How could she, with such a mindset, have the audacity to teach court etiquette? Xu Ran was the true gentleman, noble in character. Even actions that seemed shameless were actually very straightforward and simple.

"Right, my Martial Soul." Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled. Her Martial Soul was innately flawed, which was why her 'Cultivation Level' had stagnated and she had been unable to cultivate. Although she possessed Soul Power, she had never seen her own Martial Soul since she was young.

"Ruyi Circular Halo?" Tang Yuehua summoned her Martial Soul, and a milky-white halo appeared before her, and instantly, the name of this Martial Soul came to her mind.

In that moment, she understood the origin of the Noble Halo Domain that surrounded her.

Her Martial Soul, with innate Soul Power level of nine, naturally carried a Domain and was a mutant Martial Soul, but it hadn't fully awakened due to some accident.

"As I desire, as I wish, appear to me swiftly." Tang Yuehua smiled as she pursed her lips. Her Martial Soul was a support type. For her, it was perfect. She didn't like fighting and killing; just having a Martial Soul that she could cultivate with was satisfaction enough for her.

"Pavilion Master, have you encountered something?"

Outside the door, Steward Ode spoke softly. Ode, with the 'Cultivation Level' of a Soul Emperor, was the Chief Steward of Yue Xuan and was also responsible for Tang Yuehua's safety.

"Steward Ode, come inside," Tang Yuehua said indifferently.

"Pavilion Master, what is this? Can you cultivate now?" Ode looked at Tang Yuehua in shock. She was enveloped in a milky-white light, her aura gentle and exquisite. At a quick glance, she looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

That Ruyi Circular Halo, just like a full moon, made Tang Yuehua's temperament even more aloof and pure, alluring yet untouchable.

If Xu Ran were here, he would probably blurt out a term, "Chang'e Fairy."

"Yes, I can cultivate now. The drawback of my Martial Soul has been resolved," Tang Yuehua said softly, lightly pursing her lips. Now, she couldn't wait to see Xu Ran and tell him the good news herself.

And she wanted to tell Xu Ran the good news in person.

From now on, she too was a Soul Master.

With Soul Power, her skills in both the zither and dance would reach even greater heights in the future.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master," Steward Ode said sincerely, withdrawing his gaze. At that moment, he felt the woman before him was unlike any earthly being, as if she had come from the Moon Palace itself.
