Background / History

Shui Bing'er is a leading member of Skywater Academy's team, where she is addressed as its “eldest sister” by her teammates. During the academy exchange event against Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she serves as Skywater's central control-system combatant, immediately using Ice Seal to freeze the opposing team and directing the use of the team's coordinated ice-based techniques 47 48.

Although Qin Qi's overwhelming physical strength and elemental resistance allow him to break her control, Shui Bing'er remains composed throughout the match. She employs Ice Seal Armor, Repelling Ice Ring, and her martial soul fusion skill with Shui Yue'er in an attempt to contain him. After Qin Qi defeats her Ice Phoenix and catches her as she falls from the air, she concedes the match due to exhaustion 47 48 50.

Following the exchange event, Shui Bing'er becomes increasingly impressed by Qin Qi's resolve. Recalling that he alone continued fighting against her Ice Phoenix without fear, she concludes that he is one of the few young men of their generation worthy of notice 75.

Shui Bing'er accompanies Qin Qi's group into the extreme-cold ice cave, a place she has visited several times before. Because she knows the cave's branching paths, she offers to lead Qin Qi deeper inside so he will not get lost 77.

During the exploration, she begins showing clear romantic nervousness around Qin Qi. After Qin Qi agrees with her view that asking others for help can be a girl's “trump card,” Shui Bing'er blushes and becomes flustered while guiding him 77.

As the two continue deeper and the rest of the group falls behind, Shui Bing'er tries to start a personal conversation, mentioning that she likes musical instruments and studies many kinds of them. She also compliments Qin Qi's golden hair, while Qin Qi praises her aqua-blue long hair and beauty, leaving her visibly excited 77.

When Qin Qi deduces that the Millennium Profound Ice is only a byproduct of a deeper treasure, Shui Bing'er follows him farther in despite the increasing danger. Even after warning him that the deeper cold is dangerous, she continues after him out of concern 77.

At the cave's end, Shui Bing'er believes Qin Qi's guess is wrong because she has been there before and never found anything unusual. Qin Qi then breaks open the ground, revealing a hidden lower space containing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow 77.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow proves far beyond Shui Bing'er's ability to endure. Despite possessing the Ice Phoenix martial soul, she begins freezing stiff and loses consciousness under the ultimate ice energy. Qin Qi carries her out of the cave and entrusts her to Xue Wu and Ye Lingling for treatment before returning to absorb the treasure himself 78.

After recovering, Shui Bing'er refuses to blame Qin Qi for the incident, insisting that her own lack of strength caused her condition. Learning that Qin Qi remains within the cave, she immediately tries to return to find him despite her recent frostbite and Xue Wu's objections 79.

Before leaving Skywater Academy, Qin Qi secretly gives Shui Bing'er a small fragment of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Seeing that Qin Qi chose to take her to safety before claiming the treasure, Shui Bing'er interprets his actions as proof that he values her above the ice marrow. She subsequently resolves to invite him on a date 81.

Appearance

Shui Bing'er is described as beautiful, with aqua-blue long hair that Qin Qi openly praises 77.

• Aqua-blue long hair
• Noted for her beauty
• Becomes visibly red-faced and flustered around Qin Qi
• Possesses an Ice Phoenix martial soul, which she can manifest in battle 50

Personality

Shui Bing'er is normally calm, but her interactions with Qin Qi make her unusually nervous and shy. She blushes, stammers, and struggles to maintain composure while trying to talk with him 77.

She is also considerate and responsible. When Qin Qi heads deeper into the cave, she offers to lead the way because she knows the routes, then later warns him not to continue because the cold becomes dangerous 77.

Despite her caution, Shui Bing'er is emotionally honest in action. Although she inwardly complains that Qin Qi is reckless, she still follows him deeper rather than leaving him alone 77.

Shui Bing'er is determined and proactive when she believes someone needs help. When Qin Qi's group is forced to harvest Millennium Profound Ice themselves, she enters the cave to assist them despite her dean's objections, using her Ice Phoenix to resist the cave's cold 75.

Her admiration for strength is tempered by genuine concern. She is moved less by Qin Qi's power than by his refusal to fear her Ice Phoenix and by his decision to carry her to safety before pursuing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow 75 81.

Relationships

During the extreme-cold ice cave expedition, she guides him, worries about his safety, and becomes flustered when he praises her appearance 77.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Academy Exchange Event

Shui Bing'er leads Skywater Academy's control efforts against Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She opens the match with Ice Seal, reinforces her team with Ice Seal Armor, and cooperates with Shui Yue'er to deploy Extreme Cold Storm 47 48.

Although Skywater Academy's coordinated control abilities severely pressure Qin Qi's team, Qin Qi eventually breaks through the storm and uses Thunder Half-Moon Slash to defeat Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix. When she falls after exhausting her soul power, Qin Qi catches her and demands that she surrender; she concedes defeat, ending Skywater Academy's challenge 50.

Extreme-Cold Ice Cave Expedition

Shui Bing'er serves as Qin Qi's guide through the extreme-cold ice cave, leading him through its branching paths. During the expedition, her feelings for him begin to surface, shown through nervous conversation, blushing, and concern for his safety 77.

She witnesses Qin Qi discover that the cave's Millennium Profound Ice is only a byproduct of something deeper. Although she doubts his conclusion at first, she is present when he breaks open the ground and reveals the hidden Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow 77.

The treasure's ultimate ice energy overwhelms Shui Bing'er's natural resistance and freezes her nearly stiff. Qin Qi carries her out of the cave before returning to continue his absorption, an act that becomes central to Shui Bing'er's growing feelings for him 78 81.

Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Aftermath

After waking, Shui Bing'er immediately seeks Qin Qi and defends him against Xue Wu's accusations, attributing the accident to her own insufficient strength rather than his actions 79.

Qin Qi later gives her a small fragment of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. The fragment stimulates her soul power and Ice Phoenix martial soul, while its value and Qin Qi's earlier protection convince Shui Bing'er that she wants to pursue a relationship with him 81.
