Shui Bing'er's Innate Full Soul Power, Shui Jing's Sarcastic Remarks

"Could she really be my little bride?"

Dugu Lin muttered, then immediately grabbed the tail of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent and counted one, two, three... and spun the Jade Phosphorous Serpent around, throwing it flying!

The five-meter-long Jade Phosphorous Serpent shot out like a rocket, bit down on the Ice Jade Falcon in a single bite, and instantly wrapped itself around it!

Immediately after, due to momentum, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent coiled around the Ice Jade Falcon and crashed down onto the snowfield together.

Swish~!

The next instant, the figure of an old man flashed, appearing beside Shui Bing'er, shouting aloud, "Sixth Soul Skill: Frozen Hell!"

Crack, crack~

Patches of ice freezing the earth appeared out of thin air, rapidly spreading toward the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Little Lin and the Ice Jade Falcon, and within the blink of an eye, they were completely frozen inside the ice blocks!

Clearly, the newcomer mistook the Jade Phosphorous Serpent for a soul beast attacking Shui Bing'er, wanting to drive away or kill the Jade Phosphorous Serpent while preserving that Ice Jade Falcon.

However!

The next instant, under the gaze of Shui Bing'er and that old man, the frozen Jade Phosphorous Serpent unexpectedly turned into wisps of soul power and then disappeared!

Only that Ice Jade Falcon remained.

Shui Bing'er's little head was full of question marks, and she asked, "Grandpa, what's going on? Where did that snake go?"

Swish, swish, swish~

At this time, the figures of more people flashed out from the nearby forest.

Someone pointed in the direction where Dugu Lin was and said, "Dad, over there."

The old man looked at Dugu Lin, his brow slightly furrowed, and questioned, "What person are you? Oh... are you that old freak's grandson, Dugu Lin?"

Dugu Lin quickly ran in front of the crowd, smiled, and shouted, "Grandpa Shui, Uncle Shui, Auntie Dean, and all you older sisters, hello!"

Older sisters?

In the crowd, three young girls were being called older sisters for the very first time, and they felt quite happy inside.

As it turned out, this group of people consisted of Shui Bing'er's father and grandfather, as well as the dean of Skywater Academy, who had brought three students to obtain soul rings.

Shui Bing'er's grandfather Shui Jing asked Dugu Lin, "Why did you come to the Icebound Forest alone? Where is your grandfather?"

"I didn't come alone; my grandfather is right behind."

"Oh."

Shui Jing nodded, looked ahead, and saw Dugu Bo walking over step by step in a leisurely manner.

At this time, Dugu Lin looked at Shui Bing'er and smiled, "Bing'er, this is our first time meeting, right?"

Shui Bing'er was just eight and a half years old this year, standing at only about one hundred and fifty centimeters tall. Her face still held the tender feel of baby fat, making her quite cute.

Shui Bing'er pouted her little mouth and asked, "Who are you? Grandpa, who is he?"

The corners of Shui Jing's mouth twitched, feeling that this question was somewhat difficult to answer.

Following that, watching Dugu Bo walk over, Shui Jing wore a stinky face, completely devoid of any greeting behavior.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Poison Douluo!"

Shui Jing did not offer a greeting, but the others were all respectfully bowing and saluting, maintaining respect for the strong.

"No need for formalities."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and smiled, "Haha~ Old Man Shui, we meet again! The last time we met was the previous time~"

"Pfft~"

Dugu Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing, looking at his own grandfather with astonishment, thinking to himself: 'When did my grandfather get so mischievous?'

"Hmph~"

Shui Jing let out a cold snort and said, "If you hadn't forced this old man to arrange an arranged marriage between you and my grandson, this old man would actually be happy to see you a few more times!"

"Ar... arranged marriage?"

Shui Bing'er was completely stunned, quickly reacting, her gaze involuntarily turning toward Dugu Lin as she asked, "Grandpa, Dad, what arranged marriage? It couldn't be me... me and... and him, right?"

"That's right, it's the arranged marriage arranged with me!"

Dugu Lin reached out, wanting to pinch Shui Bing'er's tender little face. That collagen-filled little face must have been bouncy, and the texture surely must have been exceptional.

However, Shui Bing'er quickly retreated more than a meter away, pulling a wide distance between them with a face full of vigilance and a blush!

That was a flush of anger, not shyness.

"Dad?"

Shui Bing'er tugged at the hem of her father Shui Lin's clothes with a bitter little face. Why on earth did an arranged marriage suddenly pop up out of nowhere?

Shui Lin gave a bitter laugh and shook his head, looking toward his father Shui Jing.

Shui Jing frowned and said, "Probably about three years ago, on the eve of you awakening your martial soul, Bing'er, this old poison ran to our doorstep and forced me to agree to an arranged marriage between you and his grandson."

Shui Jing still remembered that day, the scene where Dugu Bo was leaking green aura all over, coercing and bribing him.

"Ah? How could it be like this?"

Shui Bing'er puffed out her cheeks and glared at Dugu Bo, her furrowed brow and pair of small eyes brimming with annoyance.

Dugu Bo was glared at to the point of raising his head to look at the sky!

Being glared at by such an eight-year-old girl, and with himself being somewhat in the wrong, he had no way to throw a tantrum at all!

"Could she be any cuter?"

Looking at Shui Bing'er's appearance, Dugu Lin felt his little heart thump wildly.

"Cough, cough~~"

Dugu Bo coughed awkwardly and asked, "Are you going to admit whether your granddaughter awakened the Innate Full Soul Power Ice Phoenix martial soul or not? Are you satisfied with the small portion of betrothal gifts the old man gave, or aren't you?"

In the original work, Shui Bing'er possessed rank nine innate soul power, and the Ice Phoenix martial soul possessed certain flaws, leading to situations where her ice-attribute soul power would spiral out of control.

Three and a half years ago, Dugu Bo brought three precious medicinal herbs, Snow Silkworms, to their doorstep to settle an arranged marriage.

Presently, Shui Bing'er had awakened the Innate Full Soul Power talent! Unfortunately, the soul power out-of-control issue of the Ice Phoenix martial soul had not yet been resolved.

At this moment, as Dugu Bo mentioned the betrothal gifts, Shui Jing opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say anything.

Yet he let out a cold snort and turned his head away, clearly unwilling to bring up past events.

From this, it could also be seen that Shui Jing was fairly satisfied with the betrothal gifts; after all, his granddaughter had awakened the Innate Full Soul Power talent!

Even so, while he was satisfied with the gifts, he was not satisfied at all with Dugu Lin, this grandson-in-law who only possessed half a rank of innate soul power.

Off to the side, several Skywater Academy students and the Skywater Dean all widened their eyes, catching the scent of gossip.

A younger-looking girl nudged Shui Bing'er with her arm and said softly, "Aah! Bing'er, you already have a fiancé?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't!"

Shui Bing'er pouted her lips and secretly glared at Dugu Lin.

"Cough, cough~~"

Dugu Bo coughed once more, awkwardly breaking the gossipy atmosphere, and said, "Old Man Shui, didn't the old man tell you? When little Bing'er reaches level twenty, you should bring her to find me? Why did you directly bring her to obtain a soul ring?"

"Look for you for what? This old man is a dignified rank 81 Spirit Douluo; could it be that I can't even obtain a soul ring of superior quality for Bing'er?"

"Fine, I won't argue with you! Running into each other now isn't too late either!"

Dugu Bo was filled with speechless frustration.

If the two weren't in-laws, even if they were old acquaintances from the past, Dugu Bo wouldn't have let Shui Jing's remarks come loaded with barbs.

As the two bickered, Shui Lin, standing to the side, reminded, "Dad, if you don't release the Ice Jade Falcon soon, it's going to be frozen to death by you! A soul ring just over seven hundred years old that also possesses Ice Phoenix bloodline—it's just too suitable for Bing'er! Finding another one this suitable is truly too hard!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo took the lead in releasing a stream of soul power, shattering Shui Jing's soul skill, Frozen Hell, and letting the Ice Jade Falcon go straight away.

"Hm? Old freak... what are you doing?"

Watching the Ice Jade Falcon fly away, Shui Jing wanted to give chase, but was blocked by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo explained, "Little Bing'er is the old man's future granddaughter-in-law, and the old man has his own arrangements for her future path! Rest assured, I won't harm her!"
