Kapitel 59: Chapter 59: The Mysterious Seed!

As Ye Qiu departed, Sword Douluo, who had been feigning sleep, opened his eyes.

"Fengzhi, that kid is not simple!"

"Oh? Does Uncle Sword think so too?" Ning Fengzhi picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and took a sip.

"Humph! Just a high-ranked Soul Master! What's so special about him? He doesn't seem that young either!" Ning Rongrong didn't have much fondness for Ye Qiu, the one who insulted her, scared her, and ignored her multiple times. 'Hmph! At most, he's a bit handsome.'

Little did she know that Ye Qiu and her were about the same age, but due to the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, she developed faster.

"Hehe. Rongrong, don't underestimate him. Although he's only a high-ranked Soul Master, his spiritual power probably surpasses most Soul Masters and might even be beyond that!"

"Really?"

"Would Uncle Sword lie to you?"

"Rongrong, you still have a lot to learn!" Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, satisfied with his judgment.

...

As Ye Qiu, accompanied by Xiao Lan, stepped outside, he sensed someone spying on them from the shadows.

Frowning, he activated the red-purple light in his eyes and surveyed the surroundings.

Xiao Lan, holding the box and Ye Qiu's hand, asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a few small mice!"

"Mice?" Xiao Lan looked around. "Why didn't Xiao Lan see them?"

Shaking his head, Ye Qiu lifted her up. "Forget about them. Let's find a hotel first!"

'Sabu Chu's underlings, huh? If they dare to come, I'll leave them all behind!'

Casting another glance at the hidden corner, Ye Qiu moved on.

They found a decent hotel, costing thirty gold soul coins per day.

Things change with time, and right now, it was just a drizzle.

After completing the formalities and entering the room, Xiao Lan couldn't wait to take out the obscure seed.

"I wonder what this thing is good for."

"Xiao Lan doesn't know, but it contains powerful vitality!"

Xiao Lan took out the seed, held it in her palm, and stared at its deep blue hue.

She felt as if the object was calling out to her, enticing her!

Swallowing saliva, she picked up the seed and took a few bites.

"Ah, it's so hard! Xiao Lan's teeth might fall out!"

Turning her eyes, she presented the black seed, wet with saliva, to Ye Qiu.

"Brother, why don't you try biting it too?"

"Don't be silly." Ye Qiu pushed away the slightly moist seed.

Ye Qiu scratched his head, a bit puzzled. "Since it has immense vitality, why is it seemingly lifeless?"

"Lifeless?" Xiao Lan mumbled, suddenly recalling her first soul skill.

A faint vitality flowed towards her palm.

"Brother, quick, look!"

Xiao Lan's exclamation made Ye Qiu turn his head.

The once quiet seed lying in her palm began absorbing vitality, slowly floating into the air.

"First soul skill! Everlasting Life!"

With a rising spirit ring, Xiao Lan increased her output.

In just a moment, a considerable amount of energy obtained from consuming food was consumed, and her body became somewhat illusory.

"Brother, help Xiao Lan!"

Understanding, Ye Qiu controlled his soul power, slowly flowing it towards the blue silver emperor mark on her chest.

In the quiet room at night, a new voice echoed.

Click! Almost imperceptible.

Ye Qiu opened his Sharingan eyes, unexpectedly finding the outer layer of the seed cracking slowly.

Inside the black seed, a trace of green light suddenly appeared!

Click, click! Buzz~

Under the gaze of the two.

The black color turned into ashes, dissipating into a wisp of blue smoke.

The pitch-black color turned into ashes, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating.

Now a vibrant green seed floated in mid-air.

Invisible ripples spread out, and a gentle, lively green light filled the entire room.

The light wasn't too intense, but Ye Qiu squinted his eyes, feeling a warm sensation, as if bathing in the spring sunshine, and even his soul power had slightly increased!

Looking up, Xiao Lan observed with a suddenly devout gaze, motionless.

"Xiao Lan!" Ye Qiu noticed something was off with her state, her eyes vacant, attempting to reach out to her, but she slipped through his grasp!

Even attempting to draw her back into his body proved impossible!

The green seed entered her mouth without warning.

From an external perspective, a ball of green light passed over her neck, chest, abdomen—disappearing without a trace.

"What's going on!?" Ye Qiu was shocked to find that a surge of soul power emanated from the Blue Silver Emperor mark on his chest, and his soul power had unexpectedly broken through to level 23!

"Xiao Lan? You've grown again!"

In the air, Xiao Lan's body slowly grew, from the appearance of a six-year-old to that of an eight-year-old.

A Blue Silver Emperor phantom appeared behind her, and the first yellow soul ring appeared beneath her, followed by another, changing from white to yellow with a hint of green.

"!" Ye Qiu was stunned in place. A breakthrough of over ten levels?

Just as he was about to approach, Xiao Lan opened her eyes, her temperament changed. She seemed like a goddess, exuding a bit of sanctity and dignity.

Her deep blue pupils flickered with green light, veiled in a faint gold layer. Her gaze fell on Ye Qiu, tender yet scrutinizing, noble with a hint of unfamiliarity.

'Is this Xiao Lan?! What's going on?'

With an irresistible pressure in her gaze, Ye Qiu was immobilized, unable to even operate his soul power!

Fortunately, this scrutiny didn't last long.

In just a moment, the golden light in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Lan had returned to normal. The unique radiance dispersed, slowly descending to the ground, leaving only a slender leaf-like mark on her forehead.

"Brother!" Just as she regained consciousness, she pounced towards Ye Qiu to share the joy of her breakthrough!

Splash!

"Ouch!" Ye Qiu was toppled to the ground.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" She hurriedly tried to pull him up.

"Hiss~ Nothing! Just didn't stand firm." The pain in his back made him grimace.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ye Qiu, looking at the considerably taller Xiao Lan, felt a bit uneasy. Directly reaching out, he pinched her chin with one hand and squeezed her cheeks with the other.

Looking into her mouth, as if searching for the green seed. "Do you feel anything strange?"

"Um." With her mouth pinched shut, Xiao Lan couldn't speak.

Snap! Ye Qiu let go of his hand, wiping away the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "What are you doing, Brother? Xiao Lan is fine!"

"And I gained an amazing ability!" Jumping onto the bed, she spun around, presenting herself for Ye Qiu's inspection.

"Are you really okay? What is that seed anyway?" Ye Qiu furrowed his brows; Xiao Lan's state just now seemed like she had transformed.

"Xiao Lan doesn't know, but I'm really fine!" Kneeling on the bed, she hugged Ye Qiu from behind, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Brother, aren't you curious about Xiao Lan's second soul skill? Hehe~" Xiao Lan exhaled a cool breeze, hitting Ye Qiu's face.

A fragrant aroma filled the air, and Ye Qiu felt much clearer-headed!

"What's going on?" Turning his head, their noses touched, an unusual comfort replacing any discomfort.

Ye Qiu didn't blush, but Xiao Lan's face turned slightly rosy. "This is Xiao Lan's second soul skill, Blue Silver Fragrance! It can detoxify and remove all negative effects! It can also be a body fragrance!"

Saying this, she hugged Ye Qiu tightly, her second soul ring twinkling, and a rich fragrance filled his surroundings.

"How is it? Xiao Lan is amazing, right? Hehe." She tapped her forehead against Ye Qiu's, her strength enhancement was to reduce the burden on him, which made her the happiest!

"Yeah!" Ye Qiu nodded, "Xiao Lan is indeed amazing!"

'And also quite fragrant. What's the deal with that seed?'
