Heads Turn Everywhere

"Oh, right, Little Yekong. My sister's and my dorm room is right next to yours, so you can still come find us to cultivate every night!"

Shui Yue'er looked at Bing Yekong and said with a grin.

This arrangement had naturally been made by Shui Qingrou.

After all, Tianshui Academy had no male dormitories. Arranging for Bing Yekong to stay beside the Shui sisters was as easy as pie.

She had done this partly to prevent Shui Bing'er from having any sudden episodes, just as before.

The other reason, well, those who understood, understood.

After cultivating with Bing Yekong for so long, the number of times Shui Bing'er had suffered that sort of episode had visibly decreased.

Her martial soul now basically no longer lost control for no reason. This was all thanks to the suppression of Bing Yekong's Ultimate Ice soul power.

Bing Yekong's soul power suppression had frightened the soul power inside Shui Bing'er senseless. Each time it was suppressed, it would not dare act up again for a long while.

Moreover, nourished by the soul power of Bing Yekong's Ultimate Ice, even the quality of Shui Bing'er's martial soul had improved somewhat, moving toward Ultimate Ice.

"Classes officially begin tomorrow. Today, we'll show you around the campus first."

Bing Yekong nodded. After putting his things away, he followed Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er out of the dormitory building.

Once outside, the three walked through Tianshui Academy together, taking in the campus scenery.

Yet while Bing Yekong admired the scenery, he himself became part of it.

"Whoa, look! Since when did Tianshui Academy have a male student?!"

"No idea. Could he be specially recruited by the dean this year?"

"Look at him, he's so handsome!"

Sure enough, what attracted them most about Bing Yekong was still his otherworldly appearance.

Bing Yekong was the quintessential icy, handsome young man. He had perfectly inherited Wu Changkong's best features, though he was not as melancholy as Wu Changkong.

As the three walked across campus, they drew looks from absolutely everyone.

After all, Tianshui Academy had never admitted male students. These students spent most of their time within the academy, so suddenly seeing a boy naturally stirred their hearts.

Combined with Bing Yekong's handsome looks, he instantly captured the hearts of countless girls.

"Little Yekong, let's take you to see our cafeteria. The food there is delicious!"

Shui Yue'er grabbed Bing Yekong's hand and headed toward Tianshui Academy's cafeteria.

Shui Bing'er was not as carefree as Shui Yue'er.

But seeing her younger sister holding Bing Yekong's hand, Shui Bing'er unconsciously reached out and took his other hand as well.

Bing Yekong only felt two different sensations in his palms.

Shui Yue'er's hand was small, carrying a warm and lively feeling.

Shui Bing'er's hand, on the other hand, was cool to the touch, like holding a piece of jade.

On the way to the cafeteria, Bing Yekong had no idea how many whispers he heard.

Some marveled at Bing Yekong's looks, while others envied Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

They envied the two sisters for being able to hold hands with a handsome boy like Bing Yekong.

With the cultivation of a high-level Soul Exalt, Shui Bing'er heard every whisper clearly. Her cheeks flushed faintly, even growing a little hot.

Yet her hand stubbornly continued to hold Bing Yekong's, unwilling to let go.

Only after arriving at the cafeteria did the two reluctantly release his hands.

"Little Yekong, come with me!"

Shui Yue'er led Bing Yekong, along with Shui Bing'er, around the cafeteria.

It had to be said that the food at this advanced academy was indeed excellent.

The meat and vegetables were all fresh, and every dish looked, smelled, and tasted wonderful.

And if one had enough money, one could even eat the meat of ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts.

Besides regular meals, the cafeteria had also set up snack counters and even dessert and pastry counters based on the students' preferences.

Bing Yekong went to one of the counters and got himself a meal.

Fortunately, soul masters generally had large appetites, so the cafeteria did not serve smaller portions just because all the students were girls. That meant Bing Yekong did not need to worry about going hungry.

After finishing his meal, Bing Yekong keenly noticed that Shui Bing'er's gaze kept drifting toward the cake counter.

Knowing Shui Bing'er would definitely wait until he finished eating before going to buy some, Bing Yekong simply put down his chopsticks and strode over to the counter.

"Stu... student, what would you like?"

The auntie at the counter was visibly stunned when she saw that Bing Yekong was a boy, but seeing him in the academy uniform, she said nothing further.

"One chocolate cake, one strawberry cake, and one blueberry cake."

He ordered three at once, all different flavors, so the two sisters could choose whichever they liked.

The auntie quickly packed the three cakes and handed them to Bing Yekong.

Bing Yekong carried the cakes back to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

He took out the three cakes and looked at Shui Bing'er. "Sister Bing'er, I noticed you kept looking at the cake counter earlier. I thought you probably wanted some, so I bought three different flavors. Pick whichever one you like."

The moment Shui Bing'er heard this, she understood how attentive Bing Yekong was.

She had merely glanced over there a few times, yet Bing Yekong had noticed, remembered it, and even acted on it. Shui Bing'er was deeply touched.

"Th... thank you, Little Yekong."

Shui Bing'er barely dared meet Bing Yekong's eyes, afraid she would lose control of herself.

In the end, she chose the blueberry cake, which had her favorite color, blue.

"I get to benefit from my sister!"

Shui Yue'er did not stand on ceremony. Once Shui Bing'er had chosen, she immediately took the strawberry cake.

That left only the chocolate cake for Bing Yekong.

As Shui Bing'er ate her blueberry cake, her peripheral vision kept sneaking glances at Bing Yekong.

Bing Yekong noticed Shui Bing'er peeking at him too, but merely smiled without exposing her.

Whenever their gazes happened to meet, Shui Bing'er would shyly turn her face away.

That made things miserable for Shui Yue'er.

She ate her strawberry cake while watching the two exchange glances. Though the cake was clearly sweet, it somehow tasted sour in her mouth.

After they finished the cakes, they had explored most of the academy, so the three headed back to the dorms together. They lived next door to each other anyway.

That night, Bing Yekong once again went to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's room to cultivate with Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er and Bing Yekong sat cross-legged on the floor together.

Shui Bing'er could clearly feel that Bing Yekong merely sitting beside her and cultivating was enough for the soul power he emanated to make the soul power within her exceptionally obedient.

This made Bing Yekong's place in Shui Bing'er's heart even more important.

Shui Bing'er only felt incredibly safe when she was beside Bing Yekong.

At Bing Yekong's side, she did not need to worry about her martial soul and could cultivate with peace of mind.

The feeling even made Shui Bing'er develop a sense of dependence on Bing Yekong. Unless she cultivated with him, she found it difficult to focus.
