Holding hands with a boy will make you pregnant!
This was a belief etched into the very bones of Shui Bing'er. Although she didn't know why, she felt that being cautious was never a mistake.
"Sister Bing'er, get ready quickly. The Extreme Cold Ice Eagle is coming!"
Lin Tian called out, reaching out to pull Shui Bing'er closer to his side.
Already worried about pregnancy from holding Lin Tian's hand, Shui Bing'er's face turned beet red once again.
Even though this little brother was very handsome, she didn't want to have a baby so soon.
"Bing'er, watch out! The Extreme Cold Ice Eagle is heading straight for you."
Teacher Shui Lanlan, who was controlling the magic array, was the first to spot the diving Extreme Cold Ice Eagle. While increasing her soul power output, she warned Shui Bing'er to stay safe.
The Extreme Cold Ice Eagle usually targeted the weakest soul beast as prey; at this moment, it had clearly marked Shui Bing'er as its meal.
Its massive beak glinted with a cold light, and its sharp, piercing eyes were locked onto the delicate girl before it. As it dove, it intended to swallow the young girl whole.
Shui Bing'er had followed her teacher out to hunt soul beasts several times before, but she had never encountered a situation like this. In a state of extreme panic, she instinctively stepped back, only to stumble and fall heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Shui Lanlan wanted to intervene, but the force of the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle's dive was immense, pinning her in place and making it impossible for her to assist.
Things were about to take a turn for the worse!
"Sister Bing'er, don't be afraid! I'll help you!"
Seeing the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle whistling through the air, Lin Tian immediately drew the Ganjiang Sword and slashed toward the creature's body.
"Swish!"
A sharp, cold light flashed. The Extreme Cold Ice Eagle's two talons were severed. After a mournful cry, its entire body crashed heavily to the ground, scarlet blood staining the ice.
"Skreeee!"
The Extreme Cold Ice Eagle flapped its icy wings, trying to take flight again, but Lin Tian, standing nearby, would not give it another chance.
"Swish! Swish!"
Two consecutive sword auras were unleashed. The eagle's icy wings were sliced off, and its massive body slammed into the ice, clearly unable to escape any longer.
Shui Lanlan withdrew her soul power at this moment and walked over with a solemn expression.
She first checked Shui Bing'er's injuries; it was just a minor fall, nothing serious.
Then, she glanced at the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle, its wings and talons severed, and a trace of shock could not help but flicker in her eyes.
The sword aura had precisely avoided the creature's vital points, leaving it severely wounded but not dead.
Such swordsmanship was certainly not something an ordinary child could master.
This kid must be hiding a great secret!
The severely wounded Extreme Cold Ice Eagle lay on the ground, its beak opening and closing, its expression one of utter panic.
But just as Lin Tian and the others let down their guard, it suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a pillar of frost and snow shot violently toward where they were standing.
"Ah!"
Shui Bing'er closed her eyes in fear.
However, the disaster she expected did not happen.
Shui Bing'er opened her eyes to see the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle encased in layers of ice, its eyes blinking in despair from within the block.
Lin Tian stood to the side, dissipating the frost from his palm, and smiled at Shui Bing'er.
"Sister Bing'er, you're such a scaredy-cat!"
Shui Bing'er: "..."
This bad little brother—first he held her hand, and now he was making fun of her.
Forget it, she was angry!
After a moment of thought, Shui Bing'er glared at Lin Tian, looking like a puffed-up toad.
As everyone knows, if someone is too cute, even their anger looks adorable to others.
Seeing how cute Shui Bing'er was, Lin Tian couldn't help himself; he reached out and pinched her puffed-up cheeks.
Must say, they felt quite nice.
This entire scene was witnessed by Shui Lanlan standing nearby.
What are these two doing!
She was working herself to the bone maintaining the Ice and Snow Realm, yet the two of them were here flirting.
It was enough to make one furious!
Thinking this, she slammed her staff against a nearby chunk of ice, causing the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle, frozen by Lin Tian, to fall out with a look of utter hopelessness.
"What are you two doing! I exhausted most of my soul power just to lure this Extreme Cold Ice Eagle over. Instead of quickly absorbing the soul ring, you're here acting out a romance drama!"
Teacher Shui Lanlan wasn't actually complaining; she just saw how much fun Shui Bing'er and Lin Tian were having and couldn't help but want to join in.
Besides, Lin Tian's identity was a mystery, and without absolute certainty, she dared not truly complain.
"Bing'er, do it."
After speaking, Shui Lanlan handed a dagger to Shui Bing'er, signaling for her to step forward and finish off the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er no longer hesitated. She took the dagger with both hands, took two deep breaths, and with a swift motion, plunged the blade into the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle, which wore an expression of utter despair, killing it instantly!
Immediately following, a purple soul ring rose into the air.
Shui Bing'er then sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Extreme Cold Ice Eagle's soul ring.
An hour later, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, a shimmering light flickering within them.
"Teacher Shui, Brother Lin Tian. I have finished absorbing the soul ring."
Lin Tian nodded with a smile.
Shui Lanlan, standing to the side, asked eagerly:
"Bing'er, what is your third soul skill?"
Shui Bing'er stood up and aimed her palm at a large tree not far away. "Third soul skill, Ice Bird: Violent Pheasant Beak."
The icy bird transformed into a blur, lunging fiercely at the tree and instantly shattering it into powder.
A decent soul skill!
Shui Lanlan nodded.
"This soul skill is quite good. While maintaining a freezing effect, it adds an additional explosive impact. Compared to your peers, this skill of yours is much more powerful."
"As expected of a soul master genius from Tianshui Academy; your future is bright."
However, Shui Lanlan knew in her heart that although Shui Bing'er's soul skill was very strong, it still fell short compared to Lin Tian's.
This boy's identity was a mystery, his methods were a mystery, and he could never be judged by common standards.
Night fell, and a campfire was lit inside the cave.
Originally, after hunting the soul beast, Shui Bing'er and her teacher were supposed to return to Tianshui Academy, but because Teacher Shui Lanlan had exhausted too much soul power, the pair decided to rest for the night in the Star Dou Forest, fearing an accident might occur.
They would set off to return once their soul power had fully recovered by tomorrow.
"Lin Tian, would you mind telling us your story? Of course, if you don't want to, you don't have to."
Teacher Shui Lanlan sat by the campfire, focusing on recovering her soul power, while on the other side, Shui Bing'er rested her chin in her hands, looking at Lin Tian with curiosity.
After spending the entire day together, Shui Bing'er felt a deep curiosity toward this handsome little brother.
"Actually, I'm just a very ordinary person. I've lived in a wealthy family from the start, surrounded by numerous expert soul masters. Oh, and I also have a very beautiful mother who takes care of me!"
"My mother is truly beautiful. How beautiful, you ask? About three or four stories tall!"
