"Moon! Shut up!" Shui Bing'er's eternally cold and beautiful face instantly turned red to her ears. She turned around abruptly and covered her younger sister's unrestrained mouth.
Watching the two sisters bicker, Gu Tian felt a surge of satisfaction. He couldn't help but shamelessly puff out his chest jokingly, "Of course! Who can blame me for being so charming? A man like me—powerful, handsome, and compassionate—is hard to find even with a lantern across the entire continent!"
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at him, muttering under her breath, "Shameless."
At this moment, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who had been standing behind Gu Tian, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud at Shui Bing'er's embarrassed appearance.
"What are you laughing at! You two aren't good people either, you must be trying to eat it all by yourself!" Shui Yue'er struggled to push away her sister's hand, hid behind Shui Bing'er, and made a face at everyone.
As if the fire wasn't burning bright enough, Shui Yue'er continued to shockingly reveal her older sister's embarrassing past, "You guys don't know, do you? My sister heard from Huo Wu the other day that Gu Tian has a treasure that can evolve the quality of Martial Soul. My sister was so conflicted at the time, constantly thinking, what if Gu Tian makes some 'excessive' request... like what Huo Wu said, would she have to sacrifice herself to get the treasure?"
"Moon!" Shui Bing'er cried out in surprise, so ashamed and angry that she wished she could bury herself in Ice Seal on the spot.
Gu Tian paused for a moment, then felt a wave of embarrassment. His face flushed slightly as he scratched his head. "Um... cough cough, Captain Shui Bing'er, you've misunderstood. I was just teasing Huo Wu, I deliberately lied to her."
"You're lying to her?" Shui Bing'er was stunned, and even Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked over curiously.
Gu Tian shrugged helplessly and explained, "That so-called 'in and out' process doesn't actually exist. I just wanted to mess with Huo Wu. True evolution isn't that complicated; all you need to do is take my specially made pill."
As he spoke, Gu Tian ran his right hand across the Dragon God Ring.
This pill was specially made by the Ice Dragon King, Tide, before Gu Tian's departure. Although it was only made by Tide using a drop of his blood essence combined with the immortal Immortal Herb of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, for ice-attribute Soul Master in the mortal realm, it was absolutely a heaven-defying divine medicine that could upgrade their Martial Soul to the Ultimate Ice.
"This is called the Dragon God Pill." Gu Tian handed the pill, which exuded a bone-chilling cold and carried a sacred aura, to Shui Bing'er. "To be honest, this pill was only recently refined, and no one has tested its effects yet. If you're not afraid, you can take it and give it a try."
Shui Bing'er stared blankly at the priceless pill before her. The pure ice element emanating from it sent shivers down her spine, even through the air, stirring her Martial Soul. Such a treasure would be the crown jewel of any sect, and Gu Tian had just casually given it to her?
"No... no, this... this is too precious, I can't accept it." Shui Bing'er declined hesitantly.
Without a word, Gu Tian grabbed Shui Bing'er's soft, boneless hands and placed the pill in her palm, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"Take it. You've done me a great favor by settling the catwoman and her daughter for me. Consider this pill your reward. Besides, I also want to see just how beautiful our Captain Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix will be after it evolves into the Ultimate Ice Phoenix."
Shui Bing'er clutched the pill, still warm from Gu Tian's body, tightly. Looking down at her toes, her once cold heart seemed to melt in that moment, as if a ball of fire had been burning within it.
Shui Bing'er held the pill that emitted a deep blue divine light in her hand, the warm sensation from her palm reaching straight to her soul. She was about to refuse again when Gu Tian smiled and waved his hand, stopping her from speaking.
"Take it. This isn't rare for me. I can refine it whenever I want in the future." Gu Tian's tone was casual, as if he were giving away a piece of ordinary candy instead of a priceless top-grade divine medicine. His domineering and unyielding attitude stirred ripples in Shui Bing'er's calm heart.
Gu Tian looked at the two sisters, a deep look flashing in his eyes. He knew that although a single pill could raise one's potential, if one's aptitude and foundation were insufficient, the absorption process would be extremely painful and inefficient.
"Since we're going to evolve, let's go all the way."
Gu Tian gently touched the Dragon God Ring with his right hand. In a hazy, icy blue light, two extremely cold herbs, each with an octagonal shape and crystal clear appearance, appeared before everyone's eyes. These herbs were carved like sapphires and emitted an aura strong enough to freeze the air.
"These two are top-grade immortal Immortal Herb, ten-thousand-year-old ones, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass." Gu Tian handed the two Immortal Herb to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er respectively. "Before taking the Dragon God Pill, you should consume these two Immortal Herb first. They can thoroughly cleanse the impurities in your bodies and elevate your ice attribute aptitude to the limit of human Soul Master. Only in this way can you perfectly bear the original power of the Ice Dragon King."
"Brother Gu Tian, I got one too!" Shui Yue'er jumped up in surprise, her bright eyes filled with admiration and excitement. She had thought she was just benefiting from her sister's good fortune, but she hadn't expected Gu Tian to have prepared one for her as well.
She cheered and, disregarding her sister's presence, planted a quick kiss on Gu Tian's cheek. Then, pulling Gu Tian's arm, she excitedly exclaimed, "Since we're going to absorb such a powerful treasure, let's hurry inside! There are too many people outside; it wouldn't be good if someone disturbed us."
Shui Yue'er looked at Shui Bing'er and suggested with a charming smile, "Sister, let's take Brother Gu Tian and these sisters to our boudoirs!"
Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed slightly. Although bringing boys into the girls' dormitory—especially their private rooms—was somewhat against school rules, the situation was special, so she could only nod with a blush on her face.
In the core residential area of the Skywater Academy, there is a suite filled with a faint, cool fragrance and a dreamy blue décor.
This is where the Shui Family sisters live. The room is large and exquisitely furnished, with light blue silk curtains hanging down, and a refreshing, minty scent filling the air.
"Please excuse the commotion." Shui Bing'er closed the door and pointed somewhat apologetically to the huge blue soft bed in the room. "Yue'er has always been timid. She always says she dreams of ghosts when she sleeps alone at night, so my sister and I have always lived together."
Gu Tian glanced around the room, which was filled with a feminine atmosphere, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: the treatment at the Skywater Academy is indeed quite good; the size of this boudoir is almost comparable to his apartment in Nuoding City.
"Alright, time is of the essence, you should begin now." Gu Tian's expression turned serious. He turned to look at the gentle and graceful Bi Ji beside him, "Sister Bi Ji, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on them for a while. These two Immortal Herb are extremely cold in nature. If they can't withstand it, I'll need you to use your life essence to protect their heart meridians."
Bi Ji bowed slightly, her emerald eyes filled with affection. "Don't worry, Xiao Tian, with me here, they won't make any mistakes."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er exchanged a glance, then sat cross-legged on the huge blue bed. They took a deep breath, plucked a leaf from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and slowly put it into their mouths.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying burst of frigid energy exploded in the room! The two women's bodies were instantly covered with a layer of crystalline blue frost, and the surrounding air even produced a slight cracking sound due to the low temperature.
