Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 123 Princess Becomes Empress, Star Crown

While Xu Jiawei was busy, Xu Jiujiu was also undergoing a transformation inside the Xinghuang Hotel.

She's grown up...

As the night passed, Xu Jiujiu seemed to have transformed from a naive and lovely princess into a mature and majestic empress. A girl's growth often only takes one insignificant night, let alone this night, which Xu Jiujiu enjoyed so much.

The next day, warm sunlight shone through the hazy curtains onto Xu Jiujiu's face. She opened her eyes as if waking from a dream and stretched lazily with a contented expression.

"Ah, this feels so good~" The aloof empress transformed back into the naive princess at this moment.

As a celestial herb, the Qiluo Tulip is certainly not exclusive to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. The Star Crown Martial Soul is also highly compatible with it. The most direct manifestation of the evolution of a Martial Soul is the change in the Soul Master.

After absorbing the Qiluo Tulip, Ning Rongrong exuded an ethereal and noble aura. Although she naturally possessed this aura as the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was amplified countless times after the Qiluo Tulip evolved her martial soul.

Xu Jiujiu is clearly different from Ning Rongrong. After her martial soul evolved, the Qiluo Tulip brought out her lofty queenly aura. Not only her aura, but Xu Jiujiu's appearance also seemed to have grown up a few years, reaching the most beautiful age of a young girl.

In other words... it has fully grown up.

The aloof empress made such a languid gesture, and her expression was so contrasting that Ye Qing was even slightly agitated.

Originally, Xu Jiujiu was basically considered to be a beauty of Zhang Lexuan's level in Ye Qing's assessment, but after taking the Qiluo Tulip, her assessment in Ye Qing's eyes has risen to the level of Brigitte.

"Is this the joy of nurturing?" Ye Qing stared at Xu Jiujiu's face, thoughtfully touching his chin.

Raise a princess who won't prick you!

"Xuan, I'm level 57!" Xu Jiujiu, as if waking from a dream, sensed her soul power and her expression immediately became joyful.

When Ye Qing met her last year, she was level 45. She had leveled up four times in a year. After being discouraged by Ye Qing, Xu Jiujiu obviously devoted more of her time to cultivation. With the help of the royal family's abundant cultivation resources, she successfully broke through to the Soul King level, reaching level 51.

After consuming the Qiluo Tulip, she directly increased her level by six in one night. If she were to maintain her cultivation speed after becoming a Soul King, it would take her more than a year to cultivate this level of soul power.

Ye Qing didn't care about her soul power level. Instead, he reminded her, "The improvement of soul power is just the most inconspicuous effect of the immortal herb. Its real effect is to allow the soul master to undergo a transformation and change the martial soul. Don't worry about your soul power. Release your martial soul and let's take a look."

After a long while, she nodded hastily, placed her hands in front of her as if holding her heart, and a dazzling starlight immediately shone in her hands. Then she placed the starlight in her hands on the top of her head, and a magnificent and majestic crown appeared on her head.

Compared to the Star Crown Martial Soul of a long time ago, the current Martial Soul seems to have evolved from simple lines to extreme colors. Although the overall shape has not become more bloated, the number of stars adorning the Star Crown has increased from twenty-four to forty-eight. The largest star shines brightly between her eyebrows, making her look noble and majestic.

As the one who underwent the evolution of her martial soul, Xu Jiujiu was most aware of the changes in her own martial soul.

She could clearly feel that her martial soul was much stronger than before. Her Star Crown Martial Soul had completely evolved, from only being able to rely on the power of stars to now being able to use the power of the sun, moon and stars.

The power of the five spirit rings and the seven spirit skills on the two spirit bones has also been greatly enhanced due to the evolution of the martial spirit.

The biggest change is to her fourth soul skill, Star Guardian. Originally, this soul skill required a full twenty-four days to fully charge all the stars, and it could only be charged at night.

However, the evolved soul skill not only doubled the number of stars it could store, but also reduced the energy consumption. Most importantly, it could absorb the power of the sun, moon, and stars, and could even absorb the power of the sun to recharge during the day.

Originally, she could only charge one star a day, but if she focused on charging, she could now charge three stars a day.

The power remaining in the stars is not only more abundant in quantity, but also significantly improved in quality, yielding greater benefits in less time than before.

Other soul skills also received varying degrees of enhancement.

After experiencing the changes within her body, Xu Jiujiu's eyes reddened again. Her soul power increased dramatically, and her martial soul underwent a leap in evolution. Apart from the legendary immortal herbs, she didn't know what else could achieve this.

This means that what Ye Qing gave her was the real Qiluo Tulip.

"Xuan, this is too precious." Xu Jiujiu leaned gently against Ye Qing's chest, her voice choked with emotion.

At this point, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't give her a straight-laced, foolish response. He should press his advantage now, not deliberately lower his wits.

Ye Qing smiled slightly: "To me, it's not as important as you."

It's very oily, but very effective!

The same words, if said to someone who doesn't like you, would sound incredibly cheesy. But if you say them to someone who likes you, it's like a double dose of masochism.

For example, Xu Jiujiu right in front of me.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's answer, the princess's eyes widened in delight. The thought that she held a place in Ye Qing's heart even more important than the immortal herb filled her with a secret joy, and a sense of happiness enveloped her.

"Alright, get up and go have some breakfast."

……

"Xuan, what do you think I should call my evolved martial soul?" Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but ask Ye Qing during the meal.

"The emperor among the stars, let's call it the Star Crown, if your brother doesn't mind. After all, this name seems a bit offensive to an emperor of a country," Ye Qing replied casually while eating breakfast.

Asking someone who's terrible at naming things to help with the name is really showing great taste; they must be worried he'll end up with a name like "Star Crown Pro Max Plus."

But Xu Jiujiu seemed quite satisfied with the name: "Starry Crown is great! I think it's excellent!"

"Hmm, it's indeed very nice. Let's call it Star Crown then. There's nothing offensive or offensive about it." At this moment, a somewhat amiable yet authoritative voice rang out at the doorway.

"Hmm? Royal Brother!" Xu Jiujiu paused slightly while eating, then turned around in surprise after swallowing the food.

At the entrance, Xu Jiawei looked at Ye Qing with a complicated expression. Beside him, on the left and right, were Nebula Douluo Manyi and Shattered Star Douluo.
