Chapter 77: Dugu Yan Gets Controlled
Dugu Yan’s words nearly made Bai Yu choke on his tea.
“Pfft… cough, cough, there’s no need for that! Let’s just stick to our respective statuses, the title of ‘Grandpa’ is really too far off for me, I’m not ready yet!”
Dugu Yan pouted, her face flushed as she let go of Bai Yu’s arm, thinking to herself that this guy was definitely an old pervert; a woman leaning on him didn’t make him nervous at all!
Instead, it made her feel a bit shy, so she quickly changed the subject and pulled Ye Lingling, who was on her other side, closer.
“Bai Yu, let me introduce you, this is my good sister, Ye Lingling!”
Bai Yu looked at Dugu Yan’s somewhat unnatural body movements and clicked his tongue, thinking that this Queen of the Night still needed more practice.
He then turned to Ye Lingling and greeted her with a smile.
“Hello, Miss Ye, the current successor of the Nine Heart Sea Tang, I’ve heard much about you.”
Ye Lingling was suddenly pulled over by Dugu Yan, appearing a bit flustered. Facing Bai Yu’s greeting, she only whispered:
“You… hello, my name is Ye Lingling…”
As the two greeted each other, Dugu Yan heard Bai Yu mention the Nine Heart Sea Tang and suddenly remembered something.
This perverted Bai Yu seemed to have a deep understanding of Spirits; the poison of her family’s Spirit was solved by him using a self-created Spirit Ability.
She wondered if he could solve Lingling’s Spirit inheritance problem. Her eyes darted around, and she said to Bai Yu:
“Bai Yu, you even know about the Nine Heart Sea Tang? Then do you know how pitiful Lingling is? The Nine Heart Sea Tang has a flaw; only two people can exist at the same time.”
“Lingling’s father wasn’t highly talented. In order to pass on the Spirit to Lingling, he… he passed away when she awakened her Spirit!”
Ye Lingling showed a sorrowful aura when Dugu Yan mentioned her father, and her eyes became even more vacant.
However, she was still very grateful to her good sister for asking the question for her and helping her find a way to solve the Spirit inheritance.
Looking at Dugu Yan, who was putting on a strong performance, Bai Yu clicked his tongue, knowing what she wanted to do, but he wasn’t confident about this matter.
Unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, one limits the level, and the other limits the number. Even if the Spirit evolves, whether it can remove the quantity limit is unknown.
“I know that, but whether it can be solved, I can’t say for sure, after all… never mind, let’s give it a try!”
Bai Yu looked at Ye Lingling and said to her:
“Is your grandfather currently the family head? I’ll go talk to your grandfather tomorrow.”
“But honestly, your family’s Spirit problem is a quantity limit, not a potential or level issue. I’m not confident, but it’s worth a try!”
Ye Lingling’s Spirits also dropped significantly when she heard Bai Yu say he wasn’t confident. She nodded to him, then shook her head.
“My grandfather is indeed the family head, but he no longer handles affairs. I heard that my great-grandmother passed away to help my father awaken his Spirit back then, and my grandfather didn’t leave the house for half a year.”
“Then when my father awakened my Spirit and passed away, my grandfather’s hair turned white overnight. Now he just lives in seclusion within the family, or goes out to treat injuries for those who are on good terms with the Ye family.”
“My grandfather’s heart is already dead, but the family needs the support of a Nine Heart Sea Tang Spirit Saint, so he is still alive.”
When Ye Lingling said these words, her tone was cold, without the slightest fluctuation, making Bai Yu’s eyelids twitch.
Good heavens, wouldn’t anyone who possessed this Spirit be committing a sin? No wonder Ye Lingling was like this; to pass it on to the next generation, one must die!
And those with low talent must marry quickly and pass it on to the next generation as soon as possible.
But humans are intelligent beings with emotions and desires. This kind of survival of the fittest is difficult for people to accept, and even less applicable to one’s closest relatives!
Bai Yu grimaced, his fingers tapping irregularly on the table, and he said vaguely:
“Who is in charge of the Ye family now? Later, I will carefully study the information on the Nine Heart Sea Tang, and I will visit the Ye family tomorrow.”
Ye Lingling bowed to Bai Yu, her eyes filled with gratitude.
“Lingling thanks Mr. Bai for your help. My mother is currently managing the Ye family. Should I go with Mr. to see my mother tomorrow?”
Bai Yu nodded, still pondering how to solve the Nine Heart Sea Tang problem, his words a bit casual.
“Hmm, you do need to go back. If you don’t go back, who am I going to solve the problem for? The air?”
Ye Lingling felt a bit awkward, thinking her words were a bit foolish. Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, thinking that this scoundrel Bai Yu really didn’t know how to talk!
She reached out and pinched Bai Yu’s arm, wanting to vent some anger for her good sister.
“Stop messing around! I’m thinking!”
Bai Yu very naturally grabbed Dugu Yan’s slender hand, holding it in his palm and playing with it back and forth, completely oblivious to Dugu Yan’s flushed face.
Deep in thought, Bai Yu had forgotten what he was holding, completely immersed in his own ideas.
And Dugu Yan was also numb, just letting Bai Yu knead her, with no sign of pulling her hand back.
Ye Lingling watched Dugu Yan’s pupils dilate, her eyes vacant, looking as if her Spirit had flown away, and shook her head.
She thought to herself that before they met, she had been so boisterous, even wanting to teach him a lesson, but now, just after meeting, she was instantly controlled with a casual grab.
This Yan Yan was useless; she hadn’t even done anything yet, and she was already at his mercy!
“Haha, I have a way! I’ve thought of a preliminary feasible method!”
The three of them were silently in the pavilion for a while when Bai Yu suddenly burst into laughter, startling Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
“Smack!”
Before Dugu Yan could complain about what he was going crazy about, she was completely embraced by the excited Bai Yu, pulled into his arms, and kissed on the cheek.
This time, Dugu Yan was completely bewildered, leaning against Bai Yu motionless, her mind utterly blank.
Bai Yu ignored the dazed Dugu Yan, just holding her like that, and turned to Ye Lingling, saying:
“I’ve thought of a method, which is to break down and reorganize the Nine Heart Sea Tang Spirit’s inheritance framework, fundamentally changing the inheritance method!”
“Ah!?”
Ye Lingling was initially shocked that her good sister was being controlled again, debating whether to save her.
But just as she thought of pulling her up, Bai Yu’s idea made her forget about it.
“This… wouldn’t this be equivalent to crippling the Spirit? My family wouldn’t agree, and I don’t want to cripple the Spirit my father passed on to me!”
Seeing that Ye Lingling didn’t understand his words, Bai Yu shook his head and said softly:
“You’re wrong, it’s not crippling the Spirit, but breaking it down and reorganizing it. Moreover, it’s not a complete breakdown, only the part concerning the inheritance method will be broken down!”
“And I need to prepare some things, so I might not be able to go to your house tomorrow. Oh, and after dinner, I still need to carefully study your Spirit.”
“Don’t go anywhere today, just stay here. I’ll also stay here for one night. Breaking down and reorganizing the Spirit is very dangerous, I need to have an absolute understanding of the Nine Heart Sea Tang!”
