Shui Bing'er also came forward. Unlike her sister, she didn't sit down next to Fang Fan.

Her icy blue eyes stared straight at him. She took a deep breath and asked bluntly:

"Your Highness, Bing'er wishes to ask—can the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul be fused with your Martial Soul for dual cultivation?"

Fang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had expected Shui Bing'er to ask this question, but he didn't expect her to ask so directly, without even beating around the bush.

This straightforwardness doesn't quite match her cool and aloof appearance, but it creates a unique and beautiful contrast.

Not to be outdone, Shui Yue'er moved even closer, almost touching Fang Fan's shoulder.

Her fragrance was more vibrant than her sister's, carrying a warm, sunny scent.

"Me too! Me too!"

Your Highness, my Martial Soul is Dolphin, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. Could we fuse our Spirit Fusion Dual Cultivation? I also want to improve!

Fang Fan looked at the two of them. One stood in front of him with her ears flushed but her gaze was firm, while the other stood beside him with undisguised anticipation in her eyes.

He didn't dislike this directness; on the contrary, he found it much more comfortable than those roundabout, tentative approaches.

He leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I don't know either, we'll only know after we try."

"How do we try it?"

Shui Bing'er pressed on, her voice even lower than before, the blush spreading from her ears to her neck.

She roughly guessed what the so-called "trial" meant, but she still stubbornly refused to look away.

Shui Yue'er blinked and gently tugged at Fang Fan's sleeve.

"Your Highness, why don't we try it now? Anyway, my sisters and the others have all gone to explore the academy and won't be back for a while."

Her fingers slid from Fang Fan's sleeve to his wrist; her fingertips were slightly cool, yet the touch was as smooth as a piece of fine mutton fat jade.

Fang Fan glanced at Shui Yue'er; this girl was even more proactive than him, so he naturally wasn't intimidated.

He grabbed Shui Yue'er's wrist with one hand and reached out to Shui Bing'er with the other, pulling her to his side as well.

Two girls sat on either side of him. The lake breeze blew through the pavilion, bringing the coolness of the Ice Lake and the slight fishy smell of the aquatic plants, but it could not dispel the sudden rise in temperature inside the pavilion.

"Spirit Fusion Dual Cultivation first requires the compatibility of Martial Soul."

The Ice Phoenix represents the Ultimate Ice, while the Dolphin embodies the gentleness and healing qualities of water.

Both attributes can resonate with the Netherworld Saint Tiger to some extent.

Fang Fan's tone remained calm, as if he were explaining a profound cultivation theory, but his hands had already covered the backs of the two girls' hands.

The eerie aura of the Netherworld Saint Tiger slowly seeped into their bodies through their palms, like two invisible tentacles, cautiously probing the reactions of the two Martial Soul.

Shui Bing'er's body trembled slightly; the aura of the Ice Phoenix was instinctively stimulated by the domineering and evil aura of the Netherworld Saint Tiger.

A chilling, icy power surged within her, but instead of being rejected, it melted away slowly, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, after the initial resistance.

It cautiously became Entanglement with that sinister power.

Her breathing became erratic, a thin layer of mist clouded her icy blue eyes, and a faint pink flush rose on her fair cheeks.

She had never experienced this feeling before—it was as if something was gently knocking on the deepest door of her Martial Soul, each knock making her heart beat faster.

Shui Yue'er's reaction was completely different.

Her Dolphin Martial Soul was naturally gentle and showed almost no aversion to the evil aura of the Netherworld Saint Tiger. Instead, she swam towards that power like a docile Dolphin.

She turned her palm over, interlocked her fingers with Fang Fan's, and unconsciously leaned her weight onto Fang Fan shoulder.

Her breathing was more rapid than her sister's, two adorable blushes rose on her round face, and even the tip of her nose was covered in fine beads of sweat.

As that eerie power coursed through her body, it brought a tingling sensation she had never experienced before, like being repeatedly washed by a weak electric current, causing her to let out a soft groan.

"The compatibility with the Ice Phoenix... is not bad."

Fang Fan sensed the feedback from the two Martial Soul, a hint of unexpected joy flashed in his eyes.

The compatibility between the Ice Phoenix and the Netherworld Saint Tiger was better than he had expected. The two forces, one icy and one evil, seemed diametrically opposed, but in fact, they subtly aligned with the principle of Yin-Yang Complementarity each other.

While Shui Yue'er's Dolphin Martial Soul wasn't particularly aggressive, it possessed a unique inclusiveness, capable of neutralizing the Netherworld Saint Tiger's violent aura and acting as a harmonizing agent.

If these three forces can be combined, the effect might be no less than the Three-in-One from last night.

"And what about me? And what about me?"

Shui Yue'er looked up and pressed for an answer, a few fine beads of sweat still clinging to the tip of her nose, looking charming and adorable.

"Not bad. If the two of you work together, one Ice Phoenix and the other Dolphin, the combination of ice and water might be even more effective than if you did it alone."

Fang Fan's words were half true and half false, carrying a teasing tone, but not entirely a joke.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's ears turned even redder.

She bit her lower lip, her icy blue eyes struggling for a moment before finally seeming to make a decision.

She grasped Fang Fan's hand in return; his palm was cool yet soft. The Ice Phoenix's Soul Power extended outwards, intertwining even more deeply with the Netherworld Saint Tiger's evil aura.

Although she didn't say anything, the Soul Power she actively extended had already spoken for her.

Seeing that her sister had finally taken the initiative, Shui Yue'er grinned and leaned close to Fang Fan's ear, lowering her voice but making no attempt to hide the slyness in her tone:

"Your Highness, this is the first time my sister has ever been so proactive with a boy. If you reject her, she's afraid she'll cry."

"Moon!" Shui Bing'er glared at her sister, both embarrassed and annoyed, but didn't let go of Fang Fan's hand.

A breeze stirred again, ruffling the surface of the lake outside the pavilion and ruffling the wisps of hair on the foreheads of the two girls.

Fang Fan sat between them, holding two completely different yet equally soft hands. His gaze swept from Shui Bing'er's flushed ears to Shui Yue'er's sly smile, and the curve of his lips deepened.

The road ahead is long, and the Netherworld Saint Tiger needs more powerful Martial Soul to nourish and evolve. The more people around him, the stronger he will become.

On the other side, Shui Yunlian led Zhu Zhuqing and her group on a stroll through the ice crystal corridor of the Skywater Academy.

Ning Rongrong pointed to a pavilion carved from ice in the lake and exclaimed in surprise. Dugu Yan also took a few more glances at it, which was rare for her. Zhu Zhuqing remained silent as always, only occasionally glancing up in the direction of Fang Fan.

Xiao Wu walked at the very end of the group, head down, her mind preoccupied the whole way.

Last night, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. The terrifying aura of the Netherworld Saint Tiger Emperor penetrated several walls and clearly reached her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast senses.

She knew, of course, that was Martial Soul Fusion Skill — the Martial Soul Fusion together, cultivating and improving together.

Overnight, Fang Fan leveled up from Level 68 to Level 69, and Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan also broke through their bottlenecks.

This cultivation speed is astonishing, much faster than Soul Beast absorbing the essence of heaven and earth in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.

She couldn't help but think of what Fang Fan had said about "Soul Spirit".

No sacrifice is needed, no life force needs to be burned; it simply exists in another form within his Martial Soul, retaining consciousness, memories, and emotions.

If he becomes a god, she can share his Divine Position and live forever with him.
