Chapter 8 Nine-Hearted Begonia - Ye Lingling! [Please read on! Please vote!]

Yes, you heard right. Chen Hong's mother is a Soul Master with a Soul Power Level of 49, which is 12 levels higher than Old Deng Chen Lin!

Chen Hong didn't know how his father had managed to win over his mother. Was this love?

Chen Lin said that his mother, Ning Lu, was quite cute when she was little, but for some reason, she started to mutate as she grew up.

Pushing open the door of the Xuanhu Medical Clinic, the aroma of herbs immediately wafted out. The middle-aged pharmacist standing in front of the counter, dispensing medicine for someone, glanced up instinctively and, recognizing Chen Hong, that little brat, teased, "What wind blew our proud young master here today?"

Chen Hong entered the clinic. There were three or four people queuing for treatment. Further inside, several unfortunate men lay on mats wrapped in bandages. He waited for his mother's staff to finish treating the patients in front of him before turning to the still-attractive middle-aged pharmacist and saying, "Aunt Ye, where is my mother? I need to find her to file a complaint!"

Aunt Ye chuckled upon hearing this, "What's wrong? You finally made it to the city, and you've already had another fight with your father? If you ask me, you should fight back yourself. If your father bullies you, you should fight back yourself. Why are you coming here looking for your mother?"

Aunt Ye is someone who loves to watch the drama unfold. Her original name is unknown, and outsiders usually call her Aunt Ye or Doctor Ye. She is a support-type Soul Master of level 10 or above and has followed Ning Lu for many years.

"How can that be? My mom would beat me up!" Chen Hong rolled his eyes at Aunt Ye, who was trying to stir up trouble.

"Alright, enough teasing, young master. The master is in room A on the second floor, entertaining a distinguished guest. You can go up and take a look."

Aunt Ye smiled at Chen Hong as she organized the medicinal herbs at the front desk.

Chen Hong was speechless. "She's entertaining important guests, so why would I go up there? Are you deliberately trying to see my mom beat me up? You're so mean!"

"Hehe." Aunt Ye couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Chen Hong with a playful gaze, and said, "This won't harm you. You really can go up and take a look. The Master might even be pleasantly surprised by your arrival."

"Really?" Chen Hong looked at the woman, dressed in plain clothes but with a graceful figure, with some suspicion.

"Why would I lie to you? Alright, hurry up and go upstairs. There are wounded people here. Don't block the way and disturb others." Aunt Ye looked at a group of teenagers carrying a child with a bloody head and rushing towards them outside the house, and immediately began to drive Chen Hong away.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong headed towards the second-floor staircase. He glanced back at the injured person Aunt Ye was attending to, and thought to himself, "Why do these kids fight like that all the time? The average IQ of Soul Masters is so low these days; they must have been fighting all the time as kids and made their brains stupid."

Thinking of this, Chen Hong shook his head slightly, then turned and walked upstairs.

The Xuanhu Medical Clinic has three floors. The first floor is for receiving ordinary patients, and it has a large pharmacy and a sanatorium area.

The second floor is for receiving patients or guests of higher status; it is elegantly decorated and has a quiet and refined environment.

The third floor is where Ninglu usually rests and where she makes medicine and wine.

Upon reaching the elegantly laid-out second floor, Chen Hong first changed into a pair of cloth shoes, then walked along the fragrant wooden floor, passing through rooms with carved beams and painted rafters that exuded understated luxury, and finally arrived at the room with the best natural light.

Standing in front of the door of room A, Chen Hong seemed to hear gentle whispers coming from inside, but before he could listen closely, he heard a pleasantly surprised, warm and gentle female voice: "You brat, what brings you here?! Hurry up and come in!"

Chen Hong, who had been called out by his mother, was taken aback. He then somewhat awkwardly pushed open the wooden door with the screen window, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, watching him from inside the quiet and elegant room. The former was plump and had a look of surprise in her eyes, while the latter was slender and had a hint of curiosity in her gentle, light purple eyes.

"Come here quickly!" Ning Lu, with her long light brown hair and wearing a blue robe with gold patterns, grabbed Chen Hong and pressed him down next to her. The three of them, two children and one adult, sat facing each other across a tea table on the floor.

"Mom, who is this?" For some reason, Chen Hong, who was so arrogant in front of Chen Lin, suddenly became somewhat timid and submissive when he was with his mother, Ning Lu. It was as if Ning Lu had an aura that was specifically targeting Chen Hong because, deep down, Chen Hong was genuinely afraid of his mother.

What? Someone said they're not afraid of their mother?

In that case, Chen Hong could only say that the person definitely didn't have a mother.

"Hello, I heard from Aunt Ning a long time ago that she has a son."

The girl with short silver-blue hair, who was kneeling opposite Chen Hong, introduced herself to him first:

"My name is Ye Lingling, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Ye Lingling looked at Chen Hong across from her with her gentle, light purple eyes, then nodded slightly to him as a sign of courtesy.

Chen Hong, who was on the other end of the line, was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and replied to the girl, "Hello, my name is Chen Hong, and it's nice to meet you too."

Ning Lu's gaze swept over Chen Hong and Ye Lingling repeatedly, growing more and more satisfied with each look. Seeing the two become somewhat reserved under her intense gaze, she smiled and said, "Little Hong, it's really not easy for us to see you!"

"I've wanted to introduce you two, who are the same age, for a long time, but you've been staying in the mountains all the time and haven't had much of a chance."

"I've been telling you for a long time, you should go out more often and not always stay in the village. Go out and meet more people, make some friends your own age. It's much better than staying in the mountains."

"..." Chen Hong suddenly retorted, "I've spent ten years honing my skills in the mountains! I've devoted myself to research and painstaking effort, meticulously crafting a soul tool capable of changing the world!"

"Keep bragging," Ning Lu retorted to Chen Hong without holding back, saying helplessly, "Ye Lingling is the same age as you, and she's already a prospective student at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. As for you, you're still young at best, and you haven't even attended a proper school yet. I don't even know how to introduce you to others."

At this moment, Chen Hong felt his brain buzzing. He never expected that he would one day face the scenario of "look at other people's children," which made his head spin instantly.

With his head drooping, Chen Hong scratched his head helplessly. His mother was still nagging in his ears. Chen Hong's eyes darted around and he inadvertently caught sight of Ye Lingling's light purple eyes across from him. He met her gaze for a moment as she suppressed a smile.

"Stop! Mom, shut up! Your son has achieved something today too!"

lb!

"What did you say, you brat?!"
