"What are you doing?"

While everyone else was still stunned, Shui Yuerong frowned slightly.

Li Jiuxuan did not answer; he simply sliced the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and held it out directly in front of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

The two sisters were even more dazed: "For, for us?"

Li Jiuxuan nodded, offering a faint smile.

The two women couldn't help but exchange a glance, filled with disbelief and feeling incredibly flattered!

There was no need to mention how precious this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was; the deaths of those two Half-Step Titled Douluo proved everything.

How could Xiao Jiuxuan bear to give them away!

Had his little head been knocked silly just now?

"Big sisters, it's because you are special..."

Li Jiuxuan seemed to guess their thoughts and couldn't help but tease them.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er felt their cheeks flush instantly, their heartbeats accelerating in unison.

"No, no, no, Jiuxuan, this won't do. How could we take something so precious of yours? This isn't right..."

Shui Yue'er covered her eyes with one hand and shook her head frantically, expressing her refusal.

However, her other hand was subconsciously reaching out toward the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Shui Bing'er glared at Shui Yue'er, but seeing that she was only waving her little hand and not actually taking it, she didn't say anything.

Thus, she spoke to Li Jiuxuan: "Jiuxuan, this item is extremely valuable, rare even across the entire continent. You don't need to accommodate us like this; keep it for yourself!"

Hearing this, Shui Yue'er lowered her hand and let out a deep sigh, looking quite dejected, but she echoed the sentiment: "Yeah, Xiao Jiuxuan, you must keep it for yourself. This thing provides an all-around boost for ice-type soul masters; I reckon even the gods would covet it. There's no need to give it to us."

She certainly wanted it for herself, but she wanted Li Jiuxuan to absorb it even more!

Nearby, Han Ningshuang and Xue Furong were still staring at the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, having not yet fully recovered their senses.

Such a holy object naturally held an immense attraction for water and ice-type soul masters.

After all, absorbing it might allow them to step directly into the next major realm!

And it could purify their ice power to the level of Ultimate Ice!

It was simply a treasure beyond reach!

Li Jiuxuan, however, shook his head: "My Ice Dragon King Martial Soul is already of the Ultimate Ice attribute. The quality of my ice is at the innate limit, so I don't need any resources for transformation. While it might have the effect of increasing my Soul Power Level and mental strength, that would be too wasteful. It is better to let you sisters absorb it and realize its greatest value."

Shui Yuerong heard this and remained silent, her gaze fixed on Li Jiuxuan.

She naturally knew that what Li Jiuxuan said was the truth.

The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul was at the innate limit.

There was no ice-attribute Martial Soul more noble than this!

But she had originally given the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to Li Jiuxuan to repay his favor at the Cold Spring.

She hadn't even been willing to give it to the two sisters.

Yet she hadn't expected that this boy would just say he was giving away such a divine object as if it were nothing?

Even though it was only a small piece, if he were to sell it, he could immediately possess enough wealth and cultivation resources to last several lifetimes!

If he were lucky, he could even forge a favorable connection with a supreme powerhouse!

But this current action by Li Jiuxuan...

Could it be that he is coveting the two golden flowers of her Skywater Academy?!

"Xiao Jiuxuan, this is still too precious. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep it to increase your soul power and mental strength. You are only at level seventeen; this is exactly the time when you need cultivation resources."

Shui Bing'er was already content with this gesture from Li Jiuxuan.

"Yeah, Xiao Jiuxuan, aren't you planning to take revenge? It could help you become stronger faster. We will definitely be able to become Titled Douluo through our own efforts in the future!"

Shui Yue'er, as usual, was sad for a moment before quickly cheering up!

She regained her lively and confident demeanor.

Just knowing that Li Jiuxuan had this intention was enough to make them incredibly happy!

Li Jiuxuan heard this, turned his head to look at Shui Yuerong, and asked: "Dean, in the future, can I stay at Skywater Academy forever?"

This was a question, but also a request.

Previously, Shui Yuerong had only promised him a three-year limit.

Shui Yuerong looked at Li Jiuxuan, pondered for a moment, but still spoke as if making a promise: "You can stay as long as you like, and as an official student..."

Although she still disliked males, this brat was special, and she had unexpectedly owed him a massive favor.

And clearly, this boy knew it too.

Look at him, he's putting her on the spot.

Tsk, cunning as a fox.

Barring any surprises, from this day forward, as long as it was within her power, Shui Yuerong would never refuse Li Jiuxuan anything.

"So, as long as I don't make the Dean angry, I can stay at Skywater Academy forever and keep being with my two sisters!"

Li Jiuxuan chuckled, "This Profound Ice Marrow is just a nice addition for me, but for you two, it's like charcoal in the snow. Only when you become stronger can you better protect yourselves, and also... continue to protect me here at Skywater Academy!"

The two sisters were stunned, exchanging a glance.

They both felt the warmth radiating from Li Jiuxuan.

They were beginning to waver.

At this moment, Shui Yuerong let out a cold snort, then spoke to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, "Since this brat has said as much, just accept it. I will compensate him in other ways."

If the little pup didn't want it, so be it; it wasn't a loss to give it to her two personal disciples.

With Shui Yuerong having spoken to persuade them, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er finally accepted.

"Wuwu, Jiuxuan, my good little brother, whatever you want sister to do in the future, I promise you!"

Shui Yue'er was so moved that she immediately hugged Li Jiuxuan in an exaggerated manner, sobbing.

This made the young man feel as if two headlights were frantically pressing against him, leaving him struggling to breathe!

Shui Bing'er also wanted to hug Li Jiuxuan, but Shui Yue'er had intercepted him first, so she could only bite her lip subconsciously and whisper, "I... I am the same."

As Shui Yuerong sent Li Jiuxuan back to rest, she remained in the main hall to stand guard for the two sisters, ensuring no accidents occurred while they absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Xue Furong spoke up from the side, "Li Jiuxuan has officially become a disciple of our Skywater Academy today, so..."

Shui Yuerong was resting her chin on her hand, observing the changes in the cold energy within the two women.

Hearing this, she said indifferently, "The dormitories are all for girls, so he can only stay at Calm Heart Lake. As for his academic mentor, you will be responsible. If he dies or any accident befalls him, you will be held solely accountable."

Xue Furong nodded, her expression blank.

Shui Yuerong glanced at her and continued to instruct, "From now on, our Skywater Academy is officially renamed the Skywater Sect. I have already explained the specific matters to Han Ningshuang; you two must ensure they are handled well."

"Should we change the enrollment rules then?" Xue Furong asked.

Shui Yuerong extended a slender index finger and shook it, saying sternly, "Do not think that just because Li Jiuxuan is here, you can break my precedent. My Skywater Sect is open to the entire continent; whether they are commoners or nobility, all are equal. But the core principle remains unchanged: we only recruit female disciples!"
