Chapter 31: Dugu Yan: Brother...
"Come with me quickly!"
Back at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan immediately pulled Pei Qing out of his dormitory, her excitement evident.
It must be said that gender equality has never been fully realized here. The academy does not allow male students to freely enter or exit female dorms.
However, it surprisingly showed no objection to female students entering or leaving male dorms—almost tacitly approving it. It was as if they didn't care about the chastity of male students at all.
"What are you trying to do?" Pei Qing glanced at Dugu Yan's hand gripping his, feeling a mix of helplessness and amusement.
Hmph, she's taking advantage of him.
"I need your help with something, and Sister Lingling wants you to be there to watch her consume the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid."
"Sister Lingling hasn't consumed the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid yet?"
"Didn't I already explain how to consume it?"
Pei Qing shook his head helplessly. What is all this about?
As an immortal herb that strengthens the foundation, cultivates the origin, and removes impurities from the body, the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal properties are exceptionally pure and gentle. It is considered the most suitable immortal herb for support-type Soul Masters.
In the original story, after Oscar consumed it, his Soul Power increased by five levels consecutively, and his cultivation speed doubled until he reached the Soul Saint realm.
"Besides Lingling's matter, what else do you need?"
If it were only for Ye Lingling, Pei Qing felt that Dugu Yan wouldn't have rushed into his dorm so directly.
"Hmph, it's that Yu Tianheng again. He wants to invite me and Lingling to join his battle team."
"After we refused, he started spreading rumors in the academy that he wanted to challenge us."
"Now even many teachers know about this, and it's been a constant hassle every day."
Listening to Dugu Yan's complaints, Pei Qing secretly showed a hint of displeasure.
He wasn't upset that Yu Tianheng had invited Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
It's normal for outstanding students to be invited. The way Yu Tianheng created a stir in the academy and tried to pressure Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling after failing to persuade them made him very unhappy.
"Since Yu Tianheng is being shameless and using such tactics to pressure you and Sister Lingling, then let's accept the challenge!"
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? I think it's a Blue Lightning Tyrant Worm. Good people are bullied. I've been low-key, but I can't tolerate those around me being bullied like this."
Pei Qing had no intention of letting Yu Tianheng's behavior go unchallenged. Neither his background nor his strength could compare to Yu Tianheng's.
"Such a domineering aura—Pei Qing! That's more like it. What's a mere Yu Tianheng? Let's go teach him a lesson together."
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. She liked boys with such fearless spirits.
Seeing Pei Qing so domineering now, her heart fluttered slightly.
"So, Sister Yan, you see I'm going to help you beat up Yu Tianheng."
"Shouldn't you also call me Captain Pei?"
Pei Qing raised an eyebrow, amused.
"Captain, Captain Pei, Brother Pei!"
Facing Pei Qing's teasing, she showed no shyness—instead, she boldly embraced his arm and started calling him 'Brother.'
Her coquettishness was no less than that of a vixen, leaving Pei Qing utterly flustered.
Hey, hey, hey!
"Sister Yan, you're older than me, so why do you call me 'Brother' without any shyness?"
Dugu Yan seemed to notice Pei Qing's discomfort, and with a smirk, she reached out and hugged his arm directly.
A fragrant breeze swept past a warm, soft jade. The rich scent of roses mingled with the subtle fragrance of jasmine, wafting toward Pei Qing.
"Stop touching me, Sister Yan, you're too terrifying! I feel like I must suppress you, a seductress!"
Pei Qing took a deep breath and pushed Dugu Yan away.
A Sigma man must never let a woman control him.
He decided that the next time Dugu Yan hugged him, he would just punch her.
Hmm, that's what he'd do!
"Lingling, I've brought your Brother Pei Qing! Come out beautifully now!"
Dugu Yan led Pei Qing to a place where she and Ye Lingling often cultivated.
But just as she called out, Ye Lingling, dressed in a black dress, gracefully walked out.
Her steps were elegant, and her demeanor was exquisite. Although half her face was covered by a veil, it did not diminish her charm in the slightest. Instead, the veil's ethereal quality added a touch of mystery.
"Yan Yan, don't talk nonsense. Pei Qing is several years younger than us."
Ye Lingling glared at Dugu Yan, seemingly blaming her for speaking without thinking.
"Hehe, is Lingling shy? You need to be bolder."
"What's wrong with calling Pei Qing 'Brother'? Anyway, he's so strong."
Dugu Yan giggled, her fox-like eyes narrowing with a smile.
She was already bright and charming, and with her playful expression, she became even more alluring.
"Yan Yan, you are something."
Hearing Dugu Yan shamelessly call Pei Qing 'Brother,' Ye Lingling blushed so fiercely her toes almost broke through her shoes.
The two girls played and bickered, and Pei Qing, watching for a while, lost interest.
Girls pulling each other's hair was the most entertaining.
"Sister Lingling, let's consume the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid first."
Pei Qing separated the two, his expression serious as he looked at Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
"Alright!"
Ye Lingling nodded and took out the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid from her Soul Guidance Device's jade box, then consumed it under Pei Qing's guidance.
The process was simple; due to its purity, Ye Lingling's body emitted a faint, shimmering white light.
A few hours later, Ye Lingling opened her eyes. Her skin was as smooth as white jade, and her appearance was ethereal—like a fairy descending.
"Lingling, how do you feel?"
Though Dugu Yan enjoyed teasing Ye Lingling, they were best friends.
Now, seeing Ye Lingling finished with the Immortal Herb, she was the first to rush forward, asking with concern.
"I feel great. My original Soul Power was level twenty-seven, and now it's directly reached level thirty."
"Moreover, my Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul seems to have undergone some mutation. Originally, it could only restore injuries, but now it seems capable of increasing Soul Power as well."
"And I believe my Soul Power is over level thirty. After acquiring a soul ring, I can increase even further."
Ye Lingling spoke happily. Although she was pleased with her Soul Power increase, the mutation of her Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul truly surprised her.
Did the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid cause this mutation? It seems that compared to Oscar's sausage Martial Soul, this kind of Martial Soul—like the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid—is more suitable for her Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul.
"That's wonderful, Lingling!" Dugu Yan hugged Ye Lingling tightly, burying her petite friend in her embrace.
"Congratulations... Sister Lingling!"
Pei Qing's face twitched involuntarily at the scene, but his tone remained calm as he offered his congratulations.
End of Chapter.
