"You guessed right." Bing Yekong nodded, a trace of warmth flashing through his eyes. "Bing'er broke through the level-fifty bottleneck two days ago and now needs her fifth Soul Ring. Yue'er reached the level-forty bottleneck yesterday and needs her fourth Soul Ring as well. I was planning to take them to the Far North in the next couple of days. Since you're here, the timing is perfect."
"The level-fifty bottleneck?" Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up, but he soon smacked his lips sourly. "Is Shui Bing'er really that monstrous? How old is she? She's several years younger than me, isn't she? And she's already level fifty? Does the Shui Family have some secret formula or something?"
"The Ice Phoenix martial soul was already of high quality, and besides..." Bing Yekong coughed lightly at this point and did not continue.
Besides, their nightly dual cultivation naturally produced results no ordinary cultivation could match.
Feng Xiaotian had clearly thought of that as well. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he nudged Bing Yekong with his elbow. "Not bad, Yekong. I heard that you two have been cultivating together almost every night this past year. Even Lady Shui has tacitly approved it. Looks like your position as the Shui Family's son-in-law is secure, huh?"
"Shut up." Bing Yekong shot him an annoyed glare. "Bing'er and I are cultivating properly. Soul power resonance and Martial Soul Fusion Skills require long periods of adjustment and resonance. What are you thinking about all day?"
"Fine, fine, proper cultivation. I get it, I get it." Feng Xiaotian raised his hands in surrender, but the teasing grin on his face did not fade in the slightest.
Bing Yekong could not be bothered to argue with him over it. He turned and walked out of the cultivation room.
