Ice-blue light glowed from Bing Yekong's palms, the purest Ultimate Ice Soul Power.
No longer holding back, Bing Yekong pressed both palms directly against Shui Bing'er's back.
The dense Ultimate Ice Soul Power surged into Shui Bing'er's body like a tide.
The ice-attribute Soul Power wreaking havoc within her trembled and scattered in all directions like mice that had seen a cat the moment it encountered Bing Yekong's Soul Power.
Bing Yekong snorted. "Let's see how I deal with you!"
Although Shui Bing'er's ice attribute was already powerful, before Ultimate Ice, it was still as insignificant as flies and mosquitoes.
Bing Yekong circulated his Soul Power and, like driving tigers to devour wolves, easily locked onto all the rampaging Soul Power.
The moment Ultimate Ice acted, it delivered a crushing blow from an entirely higher level.
The rampaging Soul Power within Shui Bing'er could no longer move after being suppressed by the Ice Dragon King's Ultimate Ice Soul Power.
The phantom Ice Phoenix behind Shui Bing'er gradually dissipated, and her aura steadied as well.
Bing Yekong let out a breath of relief, then hurriedly withdrew his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.
Summoning the Tianshuang Sword Martial Soul again, he set the sword aside and circulated ordinary Ultimate Ice through both hands, beginning to regulate the Soul Power that had just gone berserk within Shui Bing'er.
Even without using the Ice Dragon King's Soul Power, suppressing the ice-attribute Soul Power within Shui Bing'er with only the Tianshuang Sword's Ultimate Ice was still effortless.
The difference between the Tianshuang Sword's Soul Power and the Ice Dragon King's Soul Power was that using the Tianshuang Sword's Ultimate Ice Soul Power to sort through Shui Bing'er's Soul Power was like a skilled carpenter carving a piece of wood with a carving knife—meticulous yet precise.
Using the Ice Dragon King's Soul Power, on the other hand, produced an overbearing suppression effect.
Only by combining the two could the best results be achieved.
The gap between Bing Yekong's and Shui Bing'er's Soul Power was not particularly large. After all, they were both One-Ring Soul Masters now; Shui Bing'er was merely at the peak of the One-Ring stage, close to becoming a Two-Ring Soul Master.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Shui Qingrou entered with an anxious expression.
Only when she saw that Shui Bing'er was out of danger and her aura had become exceptionally stable did she finally let out a breath of relief.
Yet she was deeply puzzled. Who had solved the problem?
Her gaze fell on Bing Yekong behind Shui Bing'er. Seeing the Tianshuang Sword planted to one side, she roughly understood what had happened.
What surprised Shui Qingrou was that Bing Yekong's Soul Power was clearly inferior to Shui Bing'er's, yet he had actually managed to suppress her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
Whenever Shui Bing'er had suffered from this problem in the past, Shui Qingrou had always relied on her powerful Soul Power to suppress it.
But now, this young man whose Soul Power was weaker than Shui Bing'er's had actually done it. He had suppressed the Ice Phoenix, and done even better than Shui Qingrou had in the past.
In the era of Douluo I, there was no concept of Ultimate Ice, which was why Shui Qingrou could not make sense of it.
But she could not be bothered to dwell on it. As long as Shui Bing'er was stable, that was enough.
After learning that Bing Yekong was capable of suppressing Shui Bing'er's rampaging Soul Power, Shui Qingrou became increasingly glad that she had previously decided to have him move over.
And at that moment, Shui Bing'er woke up as well.
She turned around and saw Bing Yekong's face.
"Thank you, Little Yekong."
The gentle words contained a young girl's sincere gratitude.
Bing Yekong smiled. "Why are you being so polite with me, Sister Bing'er? Since I can help, of course I should help you."
Bing Yekong did not know whether Shui Bing'er had sensed his other Martial Soul, but it no longer mattered. The three people present were the three closest people to him in this world. When the opportunity arose in the future, he would tell them himself.
Shui Qingrou looked at Bing Yekong, then at Shui Bing'er. As if she had thought of something, the corners of her lips curled upward slightly.
"Little Yekong."
Shui Qingrou looked at Bing Yekong with a kindly expression, making him feel a little uneasy.
"Auntie wants to discuss something with you. Would that be all right?"
Bing Yekong hurriedly nodded. "Please, Aunt Shui, go ahead."
The smile on Shui Qingrou's face grew even brighter. "Auntie has a favor to ask. Could you come to Bing'er's room every night from now on?"
"Mom, what are you saying?!"
The moment Shui Bing'er heard that, her pretty face instantly flushed red.
Bing Yekong's reaction was not as strong as Shui Bing'er's. After all, he was not a child anymore. He merely looked at Shui Qingrou in confusion. "What's wrong, Aunt Shui? Is there a reason for this?"
Seeing Bing Yekong's composure, Shui Qingrou thought even more highly of him.
"Little Yekong, you saw it too. It's very dangerous for Bing'er to cultivate alone. Auntie only hopes that you can come cultivate with her every night. If something like today happens again, you can help her right away. That is all Auntie asks for. Little Yekong, you won't refuse, right?"
Bing Yekong considered it briefly.
Shui Qingrou made a great deal of sense. Just now, Bing Yekong had only suppressed the Soul Power within Shui Bing'er. He had treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
There would inevitably be a chance of recurrence in the future.
In that case, it was indeed necessary for Bing Yekong to come by every night.
Besides.
Bing Yekong glanced at Shui Bing'er's delicate face, whose beauty was only beginning to show.
Being able to cultivate together did not seem so bad either.
"All right, Aunt Shui. I agree."
Only after Bing Yekong nodded in agreement did Shui Qingrou turn and leave in satisfaction.
Shui Bing'er, meanwhile, stood rooted to the spot, her pretty face still faintly red.
"What's wrong, Sister? Aren't you happy that Little Yekong will cultivate with you at night?"
Shui Yue'er deliberately leaned close to Shui Bing'er and asked with a grin.
"I... I'm not!"
Perhaps afraid that Bing Yekong would misunderstand, Shui Bing'er hurriedly denied it.
Shui Yue'er giggled. "Sister, your face is red. Hehe!"
Shui Bing'er said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Shui Yue'er!"
Her coquettish shout did not frighten Shui Yue'er. The other girl merely ran out of the room with a giggle.
Shui Bing'er raised her head and happened to meet Bing Yekong's gaze.
"Little Yekong, you..." Shui Bing'er seemed hesitant to speak.
Bing Yekong stepped forward and took her hand. "Don't worry, Sister Bing'er. I'll come every night from now on. Leave your safety to me!"
Looking at Bing Yekong's resolute expression, Shui Bing'er did not know why, but she felt as though her heart was beating especially fast.
"Mm..."
Shui Bing'er nodded gently. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Little Yekong."
After returning to his room, Bing Yekong did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he shut the doors and windows before releasing his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.
Under his control, that pressure did not pour forth.
Bing Yekong carefully sensed the feeling of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul's Soul Power flowing through his body. At that moment, he seemed to have become a true emperor of ice and snow, and the faint ice-element power between heaven and earth rapidly gathered toward him.
Unlike when he used the Tianshuang Sword Martial Soul, while possessed by the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Bing Yekong's entire body was wrapped in Ultimate Ice. At the same time, it carried the Dragon King's pressure, even raising the strength of his physical body considerably.
