Full Compatibility, The Ice Fire Phoenix Combination

"Miss? Miss Bing'er!"

Granny Shui Yuehua's anxious shout came from outside.

She had seen Shui Bing'er's room seeping with Extreme Cold ice, freezing even the steps in the courtyard. That ultimate chill made even her heart tremble faintly.

At once, she could no longer care about anything else.

She could only shout loudly from outside.

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open, and Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er walked out of the room.

Both of them were neatly dressed, their complexions rosy.

Only then did Granny Shui Yuehua let out a breath of relief. Looking at the Extreme Cold frost on the ground, she hesitated and said, "Miss Bing'er, this..."

Lin Xiao was the first to explain.

"Granny Shui Yuehua, I obtained a treasure from an elder. It can help a Soul Master's Martial Soul Evolution, and I've already given it to Bing'er."

Lin Xiao did not say much about the Immortal Grass.

He only took out two Tokens from his Storage Soul Tool.

One had the character "Ye" engraved on it;

The other had the character "Poison" engraved on it;

"My teacher is the current inheritor of the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, Ye Qingxian; and Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, is also my teacher."

In truth, Lin Xiao had not taken either of them as teachers.

When he left, Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo had handed the Tokens to him, telling him to remember to give their names when he went out so that people would not look down on him.

Lin Xiao was too lazy to explain, so he simply claimed that he was Ye Qingxian and Dugu Bo's disciple.

Granny Shui Yuehua's eyes widened, the wrinkles on her face squeezing together. The look she gave Lin Xiao was filled with shock, along with a trace of bewilderment.

What was going on?

The little sparrow had really turned into a phoenix!

Granny Shui Yuehua was almost shocked into senile dementia!

Granny Shui Yuehua hurriedly left.

"Hey! Granny Shui Yuehua, where are you going?"

"For such a major matter, I have to inform the Family Head!"

So she was going to tattle...

A short while later.

A middle-aged man in brocade robes, with an elegant and scholarly bearing, walked over.

His gaze lingered on Lin Xiao for a moment.

"What a handsome young man!"

Shui Shengxiao praised inwardly.

Then he looked at Shui Bing'er and asked, "Bing'er, let Father see your Martial Soul."

Shui Bing'er released her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. That powerful aura made Shui Shengxiao's Water Condensing Flying Luan Martial Soul tremble involuntarily, and his heart was filled with shock!

The elegant man's body trembled slightly. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but no words came out. His breathing was hurried and chaotic, and a dazzling light burst from his eyes!

Fortunately, Shui Shengxiao had excellent self-control. After taking a deep breath, his emotions settled.

He looked at Lin Xiao, then suddenly gave him a deep bow.

"Although you were willing to help Bing'er because of the friendship between you, no matter what, my Shui Family of Skywater City thanks you!"

"May I trouble you, Little Friend, to convey my greetings to Poison Douluo and the Ye Family Head!"

Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul had evolved and already reached the ultimate level. To the Shui Family, she would very likely become the figure recorded on the most glorious page of their genealogy in the future.

How could Shui Shengxiao not be excited!

Shui Bing'er said softly, "Father, my Martial Soul has also broken through to level 20. I feel like my level can still rise, but I have to hunt for a Soul Ring first..."

Shui Shengxiao swayed, dizzy and dazed.

"Level 20?!"

In his heart, besides immense surprise, There was also an inexplicable sense of awkwardness!

The look he gave Lin Xiao also became strange for a moment.

This kid... With gifts this lavish, I'd believe you if you said you'd come to propose marriage! But how old was Bing'er? He hadn't even warmed up his precious Little Padded Jacket for himself yet! And someone already had their eye on her?

Shui Shengxiao was somewhat displeased, but the gifts Lin Xiao had brought were simply too extravagant, a generous present impossible to refuse, which also made him feel very pleased.

Caught between feeling pleased and displeased, he spoke with difficulty, his tone a little weak.

"Bing'er is still young..."

Shui Bing'er's face flushed bright red.

Lin Xiao: ???

He looked at Shui Shengxiao in bafflement.

No, what was this uncle even talking about!

"Hello, Uncle. I'm Shui Bing'er's friend, Lin Xiao. I imagine Granny Shui Yuehua has already introduced me to you. I helped Bing'er with her Martial Soul Evolution purely because of our friendship."

"And also because of Bing'er's kindness. I think a girl with such a clear and pure heart should be able to go farther on the path of a Soul Master. I also want to see the grace of the Ice Phoenix soaring through even higher skies."

Shui Shengxiao froze.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively, "Just because you two are friends?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

"Just because we're friends."

There were countless fair-weather friends in the world. Once bad friends and empty social acting were stripped away, having one or two true friends who could be confided in was already one of life's great fortunes.

Shui Shengxiao looked at Lin Xiao's calm expression, and something suddenly stirred in his heart. Once upon a time, he too had possessed pure friendship, but later, everyone had gradually drifted apart...

Shui Shengxiao stroked Shui Bing'er's head.

"Bing'er, cherish this friend of yours."

"He may be the only true friend you'll ever have."

Shui Bing'er nodded hard, her pretty face full of seriousness.

"Father, I'll listen to everything Brother Lin Xiao says!"

Shui Shengxiao's expression stiffened.

A question mark appeared over his forehead.

I told you to cherish him, not to listen to everything he says!

The expression on Shui Shengxiao's face shifted.

In the end, he still sighed.

"That works too. If you listen to him, he won't harm you."

Shui Shengxiao looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "I was planning to hold a grand banquet to welcome you as a guest of our Shui Family, and have the younger members of the family serve you tea, to fulfill all the proper rites of hospitality..."

After all, they had received such generous gifts. Even if they had no way to repay him, they still had to be absolutely thorough in matters of etiquette.

"No need!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"Uncle, I came to Skywater City only for Bing'er alone."

"Why should I go meet so many other people?"

Shui Shengxiao had more or less grasped Lin Xiao's character. This youth was sincere and genuine, and this time, he truly had no ulterior motives in coming to the Shui Family. He had purely come for Bing'er... Uh, that should count as having no ulterior motives, right?

He praised him warmly, "As expected of the esteemed disciple of the Ye Family Head and Poison Douluo!"

Afterward, Shui Shengxiao asked Shui Bing'er a few more questions. Once he learned that Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Evolution had no side effects at all, he left.

His emotional intelligence was not low; he understood the principle of not being a third wheel!

Shui Shengxiao walked very quickly when he left.

On one hand, his emotions were somewhat stirred up;

On the other, he could hardly wait to tell his wife the news!

Shui Bing'er blinked and promised, "Brother Lin Xiao, from now on, whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it!"

Lin Xiao grumbled weakly.

"What could I possibly ask you to do?"

"Just be yourself!"

However, Lin Xiao really did have one thing he wanted Shui Bing'er to do together with him...

Back when they first met.

Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er had released their martial souls at the same time. The sight of the Ice Fire Phoenixes attracting each other and harmonizing together was still vivid before his eyes, and the two of them had even been able to faintly sense each other's emotions.

It was practically... maxed-out compatibility!

So Lin Xiao really wanted to know: as possessors of the strongest Phoenix Martial Souls, now that both of them had taken Immortal Grass, if Shui Bing'er and he were to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

How high would the success rate be?

How great would its power be?
