Chapter 80: The Star God Begonia Spirit, the Ye Family's Curse is Lifted!

"But if I don't take it, it seems like I'll never catch up to Gu Feng on the path of cultivation."

Ye Lingling slowly crouched down, gently stroking the little yellow dog's head. Her cherry lips parted, and the words unconsciously slipped from her mouth.

The little yellow dog seemed to fully understand her words, leaping into Ye Lingling's arms and tilting its head up, barking several times as if giving an affirmative response.

"Kabu, are you saying I should take it? But..."

Ye Lingling slightly furrowed her delicate brows, a flash of hesitation and struggle in her eyes, her voice filled with uncertainty.

The little yellow dog seemed eager to convince her, growing more excited, barking several times in a row, its tail wagging like a drum, as if saying: If not now, then when?

"Kabu, you're right. Even on the path of cultivation, I... I want to walk side by side with Gu Feng."

After thinking for a long time, Ye Lingling finally seemed to make a decision and went straight back to her room.

Following the instructions on Gu Feng's note, she slowly placed the Starlight Flower into water, then meticulously plucked the petals one by one.

Once the petals had softened, she tilted her head back and swallowed both the water and the petals.

As soon as she consumed the Starlight Flower, Ye Lingling immediately sat cross-legged, focusing her energy. She had expected absorbing such an Immortal Herb to be excruciating, but to her surprise, within moments, a warm current slowly spread throughout her body, like the winter sun pouring down, so comfortable that she couldn't help but sigh.

She was immersed in this wondrous sensation, completely unaware of the external scene.

At this moment, to others, Ye Lingling was surrounded by a soft starlight, her entire body enveloped in a dreamy veil, radiant and dazzling, like a celestial being descending to earth.

As time passed, the warm current grew stronger, every inch of her skin, every bone greedily absorbing this power. Ye Lingling was so comfortable that she nearly let out a soft moan.

What shocked her even more were the changes happening inside her body. She could clearly feel her bones crackling, her meridians being cleansed anew, and even her Martial Soul undergoing a tremendous transformation under the nourishment of this power.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ye Lingling slowly awoke. In an instant, a faint red hue appeared in her peach blossom eyes, a hint of autumn water floating in her gaze.

While the changes in her body delighted her, what truly brought her to tears was the fact that the curse that had loomed over the Ye family like a shadow—the fate of only two people per generation—had completely dissipated!

Ye Lingling clearly sensed that the shackles that had once bound her Martial Soul had vanished without a trace, and the oppressive discomfort that had followed her like a shadow was gone.

"Gu Feng, thank you!"

She murmured softly, her jade-like hand gently rising, and a begonia flower instantly appeared in her palm.

This begonia flower was extraordinary, surrounded by specks of starlight, dreamlike and ethereal. Even more astonishing was the faint blue Soul Ring that slowly condensed on it, like a bubble of illusion.

"What... what is this!"

Ye Lingling's cherry lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She had thought that the evolution of her Martial Soul and the lifting of the curse were already blessings, but she never expected to gain an additional Soul Ring, and one that defied all traditional understanding.

Little did they know, the Starlight Flower's full name was the Starlight Begonia Flower. Its medicinal properties were gentle and perfectly aligned with her constitution and Martial Soul.

Unlike other Immortal Herbs that relied on nourishing from precious lands, the Starlight Begonia Flower could not only absorb nutrients from such lands but also draw in the essence of the sun and moon to grow.

Over time, its quality and age had reached an extremely high level, possessing a spiritual nature comparable to that of a mystical beast. If Gu Feng hadn't plucked it in time, it might have soon developed sentience.

It was precisely because of this that such a unique Soul Ring had been born, and the mystery behind its color held another profound secret...

Ye Lingling slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself fully in the perception of her Martial Soul and Soul Power.

To her delight, she discovered that her Soul Power had already broken through to level 17, and her Martial Soul had undergone a complete transformation.

Now, it had a brand-new name—Star God Begonia!

Moreover, Ye Lingling's Soul Skill was unimaginably powerful.

Although it was still a group healing skill, its effects were nothing short of miraculous. Not only could it achieve complete healing, but it also provided an additional 30% boost to all attributes!

What was even more astonishing was that this Soul Skill was capable of growth.

In the future, every time Ye Lingling obtained a new Soul Ring, although she wouldn't gain a new Soul Skill, the attribute boost from her existing Soul Skill would increase by 10%.

Such a transformation was no less than a rebirth from the ashes!

"Gu Feng, how... how can I ever thank you..."

...

At the same time, in the Divine Realm.

Within a palace constructed of dazzling stars and dreamlike spirit crystals, a stunning goddess was intently gazing at a crystal mirror emitting a soft blue light.

In the mirror, the figure of Ye Lingling was reflected.

When the goddess heard Ye Lingling express her gratitude to Gu Feng, her delicate nose instantly wrinkled: "It was clearly my doing, all of it!"

After her complaint, the goddess let out a light sigh, her expression returning to a somewhat lazy state as she said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. This goddess can't be bothered to argue with that brat."

Her gaze fell back on the crystal mirror, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in her eyes as she murmured softly, "Who would have thought that a Star God Flower seed I casually tossed down ten thousand years ago, out of boredom, would coincidentally find me a successor."

"Ye Lingling, grow up quickly. I've long grown tired of this wretched Divine Realm, having to face that shrimp-headed man, the God of Asura, every day..."

If any other Gods were present at this moment, they would surely be shocked.

This bold goddess, who dared to complain about a God King, was none other than the first goddess under the God of Asura.

A first-level God—the Starlight Goddess!

And the color of Ye Lingling's first Soul Ring was naturally her doing.

...

The next day.

Gu Feng brought Shana to the classroom and chatted with the classmates next to him.

At that moment, a graceful figure slowly walked through the classroom door—it was Ye Lingling.

But this time, her appearance was vastly different from before, leaving everyone utterly stunned.

Ye Lingling had always worn long clothes and pants, wrapping herself up tightly, as inconspicuous as a small flower in the corner. Though still radiant, she was never particularly eye-catching.

But today, it was as if she had become a completely different person.

She was dressed in a black pleated skirt paired with a pure white top, exuding a sense of innocence. Her slender legs were adorned with knee-high white stockings, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness, complemented by a pair of delicate little leather shoes.

She looked like a girl who had stepped out of a fairy tale, so adorable that it was impossible to look away.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she instantly became the center of attention. All eyes in the room "swished" toward her.

Everyone exchanged glances, their faces filled with astonishment.

No one had expected that Ye Lingling, who was usually ordinary and low-key, could look so radiant and captivating after some careful grooming.

Ye Lingling glanced around the room, and upon spotting Gu Feng, she didn't hesitate for a moment. With light, brisk steps, she walked straight toward his seat.

"Ling Ling."

Before Gu Feng could even greet her, Ye Lingling reached out, grabbed his arm, and without a word, pulled him toward the classroom door.

"My God, is that really Ye Lingling?"

A guy with dyed yellow hair widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
