Chapter 189: Massage again_1
"Nine Demoness, after all that talk, you just want me to let you go, don’t you!" Gu Yuena sneered, "Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false?"
"If you do not believe me, you can bring Ye Lingling’s father over, and asking him will make everything clear!" the Nine Demoness said.
Very quickly, at the entrance of the tree hollow!
Chu Qin, leading Ye Lingling, Gu Yuena, and the transformed Nine Demoness, walked out of the giant tree.
"Lady Nine!" Upon seeing the Nine Demoness, Ye Tianjun immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Daddy!" Ye Lingling approached Ye Tianjun and said to him.
Then, Ye Lingling relayed the words of the Nine Demoness to Ye Tianjun without omitting a single detail.
Having heard this, Ye Tianjun ultimately sighed deeply and nodded his head.
"Indeed, what Lady Nine said matches exactly what’s recorded on our clan annals!" Ye Tianjun nodded and said, "Without Lady Nine, our Nine-heart Asiatic Apple clan would have stood no chance of surviving!"
"Then, Daddy, is it also true that I have taken your life?" Ye Lingling said with moist eyes. Ye Lingling’s mother had died early, and she had always had a poor relationship with her own father, but after all, this was her biological father!
Ye Tianjun, upon hearing this, shook his head, "Lingling! You also heard what Lady Nine said. Our Nine-heart Asiatic Apple clan barely lives past seventy if we don’t reach the Titled Douluo level. I’m already sixty-seven and only level eighty-three. Even if you could take it, there wouldn’t be much to take!"
"Daddy!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling threw herself into Ye Tianjun’s embrace!
Immediately afterward, Ye Lingling turned to Chu Qin and pleaded, "Chu Qin, do you have any way to save my father!"
"Nine Demoness, is there any way to prolong Lingling’s father’s lifespan!" Chu Qin turned to ask the Nine Demoness.
The Nine Demoness shook her head, "Unless Ye Tianjun breaks through to the Titled Douluo level, or if he cripples his own Soul Power! However, if he does that..."
Chu Qin understood what the Nine Demoness meant; a Soul Master who crippled his own Soul Power would be left with countless health issues, and what could an old man in his declining years do, after all!
"Lingling!" Ye Tianjun sighed, "You need not worry about me! Truth be told, the moment your mother died, I already lost my will to live. The only thing I couldn’t rest easy about was you. This Chu Qin, with his outstanding talent and such deep affection for you, I can see that you truly like him. If you can find such a destination, I can die with my eyes closed!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling’s eyes brimmed with tears.
"Uncle!" Chu Qin said, stepping to Ye Lingling’s side and looking at Ye Tianjun, "Please forgive my inability to save you, but rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Lingling!"
Ye Tianjun responded with a smile, then furrowed his brows and said, "But, Lingling can only stay by Lady Nine’s side!"
"About that, I have already thought of a solution!" Before Chu Qin could speak, Gu Yuena said in a faint voice, "Nine Demoness, from now on, you shall follow Chu Qin and Lingling!"
"Ah!" The Nine Demoness first looked stunned, then nodded her head.
She knew that if she didn’t agree, who could say what the formidable Lord of Soul Beasts might do?
Chu Qin naturally had no objections. If it weren’t for this, Lingling would not survive! Moreover, with the Nine Demoness’s exceptional beauty and unsurpassed strength, who would reject the presence of such a powerful and beautiful ally by their side?
Suddenly, Gu Yuena extended her palm, and a silvery pill appeared in her hand, "Nine Demoness, this is my special Dragon Pill. Swallow it, and if you dare to betray Chu Qin, I will immediately detonate this pill. Then, you will die without a place for burial!"
Actually, Gu Yuena was just intimidating the Nine Demoness. A soul beast’s sacrifice could only be voluntary and could never be compelled.
However, firstly, the Nine Demoness feared death, and secondly, she completely misunderstood Gu Yuena, the powerful Lord of Soul Beasts, and thus truly believed it!
The Nine Demoness let out a relieved breath and ultimately swallowed the Dragon Pill and then respectfully said, "From now on, I shall accompany Chu Qin at all times!"
"Ding! The curse on Ye Lingling has been successfully lifted. A special Soul Ring, Bluesilver Emperor, has been obtained!"
For the next two days, Chu Qin and his group stayed in the giant tree hollow. Firstly, Chu Qin was looking for a way to extend Ye Tianjun’s life, and secondly, he knew that at this time, Ye Lingling would not be able to leave with him.
On this day, inside the giant tree hollow, Chu Qin sat cross-legged upon a large wooden stump, cultivating!
Although Chu Qin had the aid of the Soul Power Inner Pill, reaching the level of Soul Douluo was nearly impossible in a short amount of time without special encounters, even if just to ascend a single level!
Even so, with Chu Qin’s talent, he was about to break through the level 89 bottleneck.
Just one more step and Chu Qin would reach level 90, and then, obtaining another Soul Ring, he would truly advance to a Titled Douluo!
Soon, Chu Qin opened his eyes; he had been thinking about Ye Lingling’s matters all along, with no heart for cultivation.
Chu Qin thought, if only Ye Tianjun’s level were a bit higher, perhaps giving him a few soul bones would boost his level too!
But, being stuck at level 83, unless he was given six hundred-thousand-year soul bones, it simply couldn’t be done!
As Chu Qin pondered deeply, a white light shone in front of him.
Chu Qin didn’t need to guess to know who had come, it was Gu Yuena!
"What’s the matter, still worried about Lingling’s father’s situation?" Gu Yuena said, smiling gently at Chu Qin.
"Yes," Chu Qin replied noncommittally.
"Qin, don’t overthink it, after all, even you can’t always make everything go smoothly," Gu Yuena said as she came up behind Chu Qin and started gently massaging his shoulders.
"Yes, Na’er, you’re right!" Chu Qin nodded. Hearing Gu Yuena’s comforting words, he suddenly saw things clearly.
"Eh!" Chu Qin suddenly exclaimed in slight surprise.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Yuena asked, her eyebrows arching.
"Na’er, when did you get so skilled at controlling your strength?" Chu Qin asked, unable to help himself as he enjoyed the comfort spreading from his shoulders.
"Hee hee!" Gu Yuena laughed softly, "I practice every day!"
"Practicing? Against Aunt Mei Wu and You Ji?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.
"Who else besides them!" Gu Yuena replied with a light smile.
"Then they must have suffered quite a bit because of you!" Chu Qin could already imagine the painful look on both of their faces as Gu Yuena massaged them.
"It’s fine, hundred-thousand-year soul beast are all thick-skinned," Gu Yuena answered. "What do you think, Qin? Would you like me to help you relax too?"
"Yes, please!" Chu Qin certainly didn’t refuse and began to undress proactively.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena also gently began to slip off her own clothes.
"Why are you undressing?" Chu Qin asked with a hint of a smile.
"I won’t be at a disadvantage!" Gu Yuena replied, "After I’ve given you a massage, it’ll be your turn! And..."
Then, Gu Yuena whispered into Chu Qin’s ear, "I can also use..."
Suddenly, Chu Qin gulped and his face flushed, "I didn’t teach you that, who did you learn it from?"
Gu Yuena’s face turned slightly red, "Self-taught!"
"Of course, the nature of a dragon is truly..." Chu Qin couldn’t control himself but stopped short of finishing his sentence.
"The nature of a dragon is what!" Gu Yuena feigned anger, her eyebrows arching.
"Nothing, come on, massage!" Chu Qin said, his hands starting to become restless...
It must be said that Gu Yuena’s massage was incredibly comfortable. Her supreme skills, paired with her delicate and smooth skin that seemed ready to break at the slightest touch, made Chu Qin instantly forget all his troubles and become completely immersed in the experience.
About half an hour later, both of them got dressed and stood up at the same time.
"Na’er, your technique is fantastic!" Chu Qin couldn’t help but exclaim.
