Claiming Two Beauties in the Cold Jade Bath

Su Chen grasped her wrist, which was red from the cold, and stepped out of the main courtyard.

"Don't panic, lead the way."

The two hurried through the moon gate along the winding corridor paved with Blue Stone. As soon as they stepped into the front courtyard of the Listening to Snow Pavilion on the east side of the inner city, a bone-chilling, extremely cold aura rushed towards them.

The glass shades of the octagonal palace lanterns hanging under the corridor were covered with frost flowers, and the originally emerald green bamboo leaves were covered with icicles about an inch long, making a cracking sound when stepped on on the blue brick floor.

Outside the hot spring room in the backyard, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and four other members of the Skywater Academy were pacing anxiously under the porch, rubbing their hands together. Their lips were all frozen purple.

"Captain! Yue'er has brought Su Chen!" As soon as Xue Wu saw the two arrive, she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the heavy nanmu wood partition door.

"Xue Wu, the five of you have similar Soul Power attributes to Bing'er. Staying here could easily cause the cold energy to flow back in. Go to the side hall in the front yard and guard it. No one is to come in without my permission."

Su Chen gave an order, then led Shui Yue'er into the inner room of the hot spring, closing the nanmu wood door behind them and locking it shut.

The spacious White Jade hot spring pool is filled with natural sulfur hot spring water drawn from underground veins. The surface of the pool, which should have been steaming, is now mostly frozen into a thick layer of dark blue ice, about three inches thick.

Only a small patch of water, about three feet square, at the central water inlet, was still emitting Sisi white mist, which immediately turned into tiny ice crystals and fell down.

In the warm water of the pool, Shui Bing'er knelt on the jade steps with her back to the door, her arms tightly wrapped around her shoulders.

She was only wearing a thin, light blue silk robe for regulating her breathing in the water; the soaked robe clung tightly to her exquisite, undulating body.

Her long, wet, dark blue hair froze into icy strands that clung to the back of her snow-white neck. The Ice Phoenix mark between her brows flickered in and out of focus. Her whole body convulsed and trembled violently in the biting cold.

"Elder sister!"

Shui Yue'er rushed to the edge of the pool and knelt down. She reached out to help Shui Bing'er's shoulder, but her fingertips recoiled at the touch of the floating ice. Her eyes reddened with anxiety. "Su Chen, look at my sister! The calming soup Ye Lingling left behind can't suppress this chill at all!"

Su Chen walked to the edge of the White Jade pool and activated the "Ancient Truth-Severing Dragon Divine Pupils" to take a look.

While withstanding three thousand iron cavalry in the North Wind Canyon, Shui Bing'er forcibly activated the Ancient Frost Phoenix bloodline deep within her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, which had not yet fully awakened, in order to protect her sisters behind her.

That power far exceeded the physical limits of her level 42 Soul Ancestor. During the day, it could remain dormant due to the sunlight and the Dragon Qi entering the carriage, but once night fell and the Yin energy was at its peak, it went berserk from her dantian and was gradually devouring her life force.

Su Chen took off his outer robe and threw it on the nanmu screen by the pool. Wearing only a close-fitting black short shirt, he stepped directly into the waist-deep hot spring water.

Click--!

The moment his feet touched the bottom of the pool, the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Ice-Fire Golden Body suddenly activated, and a layer of visible crimson-gold light rose from his body.

The three-inch-long ice on the surface of the pool melted and disintegrated rapidly, centered on Su Chen's legs, as if it had been struck by a red-hot iron. The scalding spring water surged again, releasing a thick, milky-white mist.

"Su Chen..."

In her half-conscious state, Shui Bing'er felt a scorching heat wave coming from behind her, and her stiff neck turned slightly.

When she saw Su Chen step directly into the pool and stand behind her, and then looked down at her almost transparent, soaking wet silk dress, a blush of embarrassment and panic instantly rose on her pale, snow-white face. She instinctively wanted to shrink back into the deeper water, stammering, "You... why did you get in the water... Yue'er is still here..."

"Don't move around. If you delay any longer, your Meridians will be completely frozen and cracked."

Su Chen stepped behind Shui Bing'er, his scalding left hand reaching out to embrace her smooth, cool, slender waist, firmly holding her retreating body in front of him. His right hand, with irresistible force, pressed tightly against her back and shoulder blades, separated only by a thin layer of damp gauze!

"Um..."

Shui Bing'er trembled violently, and a suppressed, shy moan escaped from her nose.

The domineering, pure yang heat from the boy's palm, through the soaked ice silk, branded the vital points on her vest. The extreme contrast between ice and fire made her limbs go limp instantly. Her arms, which had been wrapped around her chest, fell limply, and she leaned back uncontrollably against Su Chen's broad and sturdy chest.

"Yue'er, stay by the pond and keep a close watch, don't let your sister bite her tongue."

Su Chen gave a warning, then pressed both palms against Shui Bing'er's back, unleashing his full level 54, 5th ring, all-black Soul Power without reservation!

Left hand Taiyin Mystic Ice Dragon Qi, right hand wields the Pure Yang Dragon Emperor Aura!

Two supreme primordial forces originating from the Chaos Ancestral Dragon converged within Shui Bing'er's body, instantly transforming into a continuously spinning Yin-Yang fish of ice and fire, crushing the frozen frost along the way and heading straight for her dantian!

Phew!!

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul residing within Shui Bing'er's body was disturbed, letting out a sharp, mournful cry. The violent extreme cold source transformed into hundreds of ice blades that raged wildly through her Meridians, causing Shui Bing'er to bite her lower lip tightly in pain.

Shui Yue'er quickly knelt on the edge of the pool and leaned over, offering her fair wrist to her sister's lips.

"How dare you, a mere mortal bird, be so insolent before me!"

A surge of purple-gold divine light erupted from Su Chen's eyes, and behind him, a faint phantom of an Primordial Chaos Ancestral Dragon overlooking the heavens appeared.

The bloodline of the progenitor of all beasts surged into Shui Bing'er's dantian through his palms! At the same time, Su Chen reached into his treasure pouch at his waist with his left hand and took out a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Core, the size of a pigeon egg, its entire body shimmering with nine-colored cold light!

Su Chen wrapped his arm around Shui Bing'er's slender waist and turned her around. He then held the ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Core between his fingers and placed it directly on the intensely flashing Ice Phoenix mark between Shui Bing'er's eyebrows!

When the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Core met the Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire, it instantly transformed into an extremely pure icy blue divine liquid, which flowed straight into the Ancestral Aperture between the eyebrows!

Shui Bing'er felt a sudden explosion in her mind. The extremely cold backlash that had been raging and destroying her body suddenly became incredibly docile.

Click!

A crisp sound of bloodline shackles breaking came from Shui Bing'er's body.

A brand-new phantom of Ice Phoenix with a wingspan of over three zhang (approximately 10 meters) soared into the sky behind her, illuminating the entire inner chamber of the hot spring bath!

Unlike its original pure ice blue, the transformed Ice Phoenix now has eyes that have turned into a majestic dark gold, and its broad ice crystal phoenix wings are marked with a circle of noble and intricate dark gold ancestral dragon patterns!

Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically in the pool beneath Shui Bing'er's feet. Her Soul Power, which had been at level 42, steadily climbed—to level 43, then to the peak of level 43, before finally breaking through the barrier and firmly entering the level 44 Control System Battle Soul Ancestor realm!

The billowing white mist gradually subsided, and the temperature in the hot spring returned to a warm and pleasant level.

The countless ice crystals receded into her body, Shui Bing'er slowly opened her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

Because they were embracing face-to-face, she was practically sitting on Su Chen's lap. Her soaked silk dress had slipped down to one shoulder during the surge of Soul Power, revealing a large expanse of smooth, snow-white skin. The sound of their intense heartbeats could be clearly heard.

What made Shui Bing'er even more ashamed was that, because her Martial Soul Fusion a wisp of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon's essence, whenever she got close to Su Chen, the proud Ice Phoenix Martial Soul within her would transmit an affection and longing from the depths of her soul, wishing she could completely merge with the man before her.

"The cold poison has been completely refined. Your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul has absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow Core, so there will be no risk of backlash when you use your full strength in the future."

Su Chen looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in his arms, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling, his hand still resting naturally on her smooth, slender lower back, without immediately letting go.

Shui Bing'er's long eyelashes trembled violently, but she did not show the panic and resistance she had shown in the train carriage during the day.

She remained silent for a few breaths, then slowly raised her fair, boneless hands, gently grasping Su Chen's soaked shirt. She buried her burning cheeks in the crook of Su Chen's broad neck, her warm, sweet breath brushing against his collarbone, her voice soft yet unwavering:

"You saved Skywater Academy in North Wind Valley, and you pulled me back from the brink of death twice, in the carriage and in this hot spring, reshaping my Martial Soul... Su Chen, from this day forward, my life, Shui Bing'er's life, belongs to you. No matter whether we face the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or the Clear Sky Sect in the future, as long as you give the order, my Ice Phoenix and I will stand by your side until death."

Feeling the complete submission of the warm, soft body in his arms, Su Chen reached out and stroked her smooth, deep blue hair:

"Remember what you said tonight: no one can touch Su Chen's people."

"Hey! Sister, Su Chen, if you two keep hugging, I'm going to die from the sourness by the pool!"

Shuiyue'er, Shui Yue'er was lying on the edge of the White Jade pool, blushed as she watched. Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, she finally couldn't help but splash her legs and put her feet into the warm water. She came over, grabbed Su Chen's right arm, and shook it while pleading, "Su Chen! You can't be so biased! The Dragon Qi you released in the pool just now felt so good. It made my Dolphin Martial Soul spin around in my stomach. I've been stuck at level 38 for half a year. Can you help me clear my Meridians too?"

"Yue'er! What are you doing? Get out of here!" Shui Bing'er lifted her head from Su Chen's neck, blushing, and glared at her younger sister reproachfully.

Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue, but instead of backing down, she boldly slid down the jade steps into the hot spring, squeezed to Su Chen's side, and tilted her wet, pretty face up. "I'm not being silly! My sister is with Su Chen now, and we've never been apart since we were little, so of course I have to be with Su Chen too! Su Chen, don't you think so?"

Looking at the two sisters before him, one gentle and beautiful, the other mischievous and clever, Su Chen chuckled. He freed his right hand and pinched Shui Yue'er's delicate cheek, then placed it on the top of her head, channeling a wisp of pure Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon Dragon Qi into her body.

"Alright, concentrate and calm your mind, guide this wisp of Dragon Qi to your dantian!"

Shui Yue'er cheered and quickly closed her big eyes, channeling her Soul Power to its fullest extent.

The Pure Yang Dragon Qi swept away the impurities in her slightly restless Meridians like a devastating force. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a flash of blue light appeared around her, and the bottleneck of level 38 was broken. Her Soul Power soared to the peak of level 39 Soul Elder, only one step away from level 40 Quasi-Soul Ancestor!

"Wow! Level 39, peak! Su Chen, you're amazing!" Shui Yue'er excitedly pounced on Su Chen and gave him a big kiss on the cheek, making her older sister Shui Bing'er, who was standing next to her, lower her head in embarrassment and helplessness.

Just as the two sisters nestled tenderly in Su Chen, a golden system notification silently flashed through Su Chen's mind:

[Ding! The core sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er of the Skywater Academy have been completely won over, severing the neutral destiny of Tianshui in the original story!
