As Xue Tianmo was lost in thought, Shui Bing'er suddenly looked over at him and asked curiously:
"Brother Tianmo."
"You're wearing so little. Aren't you cold?"
Hearing this, Xue Tianmo shook his head and said:
"I'm not cold. My body is very resistant to the cold!"
Before Shui Bing'er could say anything more, Shui Yue'er crossed her arms and hugged herself, sighing, "So cold!!"
Xue Tianmo looked at Shui Yue'er and teased:
"That's easy. Sister Yue'er, just stand closer to me and you won't be cold."
"I'm very warm!"
At Xue Tianmo's words, Shui Yue'er's face suddenly turned red.
She had never expected to be flirted with by a younger brother.
Still, Shui Yue'er had a very favorable impression of Xue Tianmo.
Not only was he handsome, but he was also so approachable.
More importantly, if Xue Tianmo had not stepped forward earlier, she and Shui Bing'er might have already died at the hands of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Ice Bear.
"Sure!"
After thinking for a moment, Shui Yue'er suddenly agreed.
The next instant, she shifted over and took the initiative to move close beside Xue Tianmo, pressing herself tightly against him.
Shui Bing'er was stunned by the sight.
Before she could react, Xue Tianmo suddenly looked at her.
"Sister Bing'er, do you want to come warm up too?"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er could not help but tremble. Her heart pounded as though countless little deer were charging about within it.
Her cheeks quickly flushed red.
Though she was a little shy, her body was honest enough, and she too took the initiative to move close to Xue Tianmo.
Just like that, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er leaned against Xue Tianmo, one on each side.
After resting for a while, Xue Tianmo and the two girls woke up.
"It's time to set off!"
Xue Tianmo looked at the two girls as he spoke.
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er nodded. After packing everything up, they accompanied Xue Tianmo as they departed.
"Brother Tianmo, if you don't have any destination in mind, why not travel with us?"
Shui Bing'er smiled at Xue Tianmo and invited him to train with them.
After giving it some thought, Xue Tianmo agreed.
Seeing this, the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were overjoyed.
The three of them then set off together.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed, having a wonderful time.
After traveling for some time, the three arrived at a vast ice field.
"Brother Tianmo, are you familiar with the Extreme North Lands?"
Shui Bing'er suddenly asked.
Xue Tianmo shook his head somewhat awkwardly.
Although he had always lived in the Extreme North Lands, this was his first time leaving Snow Empress and Ice Empress to train on his own.
Seeing Xue Tianmo shake his head, Shui Bing'er was somewhat helpless and muttered:
"Looks like we'll just have to follow our instincts."
With that, she did not hesitate and was the first to step onto the ice field ahead.
Seeing this, Shui Yue'er gave Xue Tianmo a look before quickly following after her.
Soon, the three of them were walking across the ice field.
As they walked, Xue Tianmo suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were both startled and turned to look at him at the same time.
"What is it?"
Shui Bing'er asked.
"Did you hear something?"
Xue Tianmo replied with a grave expression.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were taken off guard by his words and had not heard anything.
Just then, cracking sounds suddenly echoed all around them.
Hearing the noise, the three hurriedly looked around.
To their shock, the ice beneath their feet was splitting apart at a visible speed.
"Oh no!!"
"It's an Ice Crevasse!"
Xue Tianmo could not help crying out.
He was about to flee, but it was already too late.
The ice beneath their feet split apart completely!
The next moment, Xue Tianmo and the two girls fell straight down into the Ice Crevasse.
"Ahhh..."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events.
Fortunately, the Ice Crevasse was not very deep.
Very soon, the three of them landed at its bottom.
Just moments ago, Xue Tianmo had been planning to summon his martial soul.
After all, his second soul skill, Phoenix Ice Wings, allowed him to fly.
However, upon seeing that the Ice Crevasse was not deep, Xue Tianmo abandoned that thought.
He did not want to reveal his martial soul so early!
At that moment, Xue Tianmo landed steadily on the ground, his left and right hands wrapped around Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's slender waists respectively.
The two girls' cheeks immediately reddened.
"Fortunately, this Ice Crevasse isn't deep. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Xue Tianmo tightened his grip slightly and helped the two girls steady themselves.
"Whew!"
Shui Bing'er let out a long breath and looked up toward the top of the Ice Crevasse.
"Brother Tianmo, thank you."
"Yue'er and I were terrified just now."
"Let's hurry back up!"
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er prepared to exert herself and leave the Ice Crevasse.
"Wait!"
Xue Tianmo suddenly stopped her.
"Hm?"
Shui Bing'er was startled and looked at Xue Tianmo in confusion.
"There seems to be something inside this Ice Crevasse!"
Xue Tianmo replied. Without waiting for Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to react, he headed straight toward the depths of the Ice Crevasse.
"This?"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er exchanged glances, then followed in Xue Tianmo's footsteps.
What surprised the three of them was that the Ice Cave beneath the Ice Crevasse was extremely vast.
After walking for some time, Xue Tianmo, who was in front, suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead.
In the Ice Cave before them lay several strange Ice Crystals.
These Ice Crystals were entirely icy blue and dazzling to behold.
"Are those ores? Or ice blocks?"
Shui Yue'er looked utterly puzzled.
Shui Bing'er did not seem particularly interested.
Hearing this, Xue Tianmo smiled faintly and said:
"These aren't ores or ice blocks. They are... Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow!"
"They are among the finest Celestial Herbs of the ice attribute."
"For ice-type martial souls, they are superb cultivation resources."
"Even those without ice-type martial souls can use them to increase their Soul Power!"
After Xue Tianmo's explanation,
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were both stunned.
Shui Bing'er in particular had seemed indifferent earlier, but now she was wide-eyed in shock.
After all, her martial soul was the ice-attribute beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix.
Xue Tianmo then stepped forward and picked up a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
As Soul Power flowed into it, the piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow melted directly.
It then transformed into streams of blue energy that swirled in Xue Tianmo's hand.
Xue Tianmo did not hesitate and directly absorbed it into his body for refinement!
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er did not hesitate either.
To them, this was a rare opportunity.
The three then began absorbing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow within the Ice Cave.
After absorbing it for a while, all three of their Soul Powers greatly improved.
"It really works!"
Shui Bing'er was incredibly excited. In such a short time, her Soul Power had risen by an entire level.
"This Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is amazing!"
"In such a short time, my Soul Power has increased so much."
Shui Yue'er was equally excited.
