"Take Good Care" of Shui Bing'er

"You were actually awake quite a while ago that day, weren't you?"

On the way back to Spirit City from the Balak Kingdom, Ye Lingling and the other two were sitting in the carriage when Ye Lingling suddenly said something to Huo Wu. Then, her eyes, which should have been gentle and tender, stared straight at her, making Huo Wu feel a chill run down her spine.

"I, I see, I didn't mean it, Lengleng, I really, I..."

Huo Wu was almost in tears. What makes a person's image and perception most impactful? The answer is peak perception. Huo Wu had never taken Ye Lingling seriously before, because in her mind, Ye Lingling was just a quiet woman who posed no threat to her. Her opponent was Shui Bing'er. However, after she had just ordered Zhu Zhuqing to kill Ma Hongjun without hesitation, Huo Wu had already ranked her threat above Shui Bing'er. Now, hearing Ye Lingling's sudden question, she panicked and didn't know what to do.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Yu Tianshuang is the most important person in my world besides Grandma right now. You were willing to give your life for him, so he cares about you too. I won't do anything to you; I'm just confirming things."

Ye Lingling knew that she might have Huo Wu, a girl who seemed fiery and spoiled but was actually very kind and straightforward, so she tried her best to show a very gentle smile.

"Like Tianshuang, I haven't seen my parents since what happened to the Lower Three Sects twenty years ago, let alone lived with them. Actually, I've always felt very inferior. Even though my grandmother is the most respected healing Soul Master on the continent, and everyone treats us with great respect wherever we go, I can actually see what they're really thinking in their eyes. Only him, Yu Tianshuang."

Ye Lingling paused, her bright eyes suddenly shining as she recalled the first time she met this person; the memory still felt so beautiful.

"We were so young back then, we didn't understand feelings at all, but from the first moment we saw him, a strange connection formed between us. I knew he was like me, we were the same kind of people, only caring about the people and things we cared about, and not caring about anything else. Ma Hongjun is a descendant of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan, we both knew this a long time ago. Originally, if Tang San hadn't seriously injured us, perhaps we wouldn't be in the Spirit Hall now. You like him, you're willing to give your life for him, but you don't understand him, so I hope you can understand him more."

Huo Wu is different from them, even from Zhu Zhuqing. She spent the least amount of time with Yu Tianshuang. Even with Hu Liena, she spent so much time with him in the Slaughter City. Therefore, Ye Lingling hopes that Huo Wu can understand him better.

"Lengleng, I know what you mean, but I think, what does it matter if I know so much? Anyway, my mind doesn't work as fast as yours, and I haven't thought about it too much. I like him, I'm willing to come to him, and the fact that I'm willing to give my life for him is not important to me at all. Anyway, it's enough that he has me in his heart. I don't want to think about so much, it's too tiring."

"That really does match your answer, Huo Wu..."

Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile slightly. Sometimes, not having so many things on your mind is actually a kind of luck.

Ye Lingling's words were actually meant to tell him that Yu Tianshuang was currently in the Spirit Hall, and given Bibi Dong's schemes, the Blazing Fire Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire would certainly not escape unscathed in the future. Oh well, since she herself was too lazy to even think about it, she might as well let nature take its course...

"Oh, I see. The difficulty starting from the seventh level is ridiculously high! To get an S-rank rating, you have to defeat three Titled Douluo with the same top-tier Martial Soul attribute. It seems that starting from the seventh level of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, it's no longer a test that dynamically monitors strength. You can only pass if you meet the strength standard. If the seventh level is this difficult, does that mean the ninth level requires fighting three Peerless Douluo?"

When Shui Yue'er saw Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er walking out of the room hand in hand, she felt something was off, but the joy she felt every time she saw Yu Tianshuang made her put those thoughts aside and wave to them. The group then started talking about Yu Tianshuang's experiences in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.

"Actually, we can view the first six levels of the secret realm as a benefit bestowed upon believers by the Ice God, but the last three levels are probably the true core reward of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm."

Shui Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief, then met Xue Wu and Yu Hairou's amused gazes and gave them a warning. Although she didn't know why, even though she was the older sister, she felt a little flustered.

"Oh, right, sister, I made it through the third level! Haha!"

With a smug look on her face, Shui Yue'er looked at her sister with a radiant smile, hoping to hear a word of praise from her.

"Not bad, keep it up!"

Clearly, Shui Bing'er's perfunctory tone displeased He Shui Yue'er. She pouted, about to say something more, when Yu Hairou's gentle voice slowly came from beside her. "I've passed the second level."

Shui Yue'er's face froze instantly, then she patted her chest in relief. Thank goodness! If she hadn't passed the third level this time, she would have been on the same level as Hairou, both Auxiliary System Soul Master...

"Well, although I didn't help Senior Snow Empress transform into a human this time, I've made progress on this matter. It won't be long before I can help everyone pass the God Trial. However, this Ice and Snow Secret Realm has indeed been very rewarding for me. The power of the gods is truly immense. The things like God-Given Soul Ring, God-Given Soul Bone, and the ability to increase the age of Soul Ring are really too exaggerated. But there's no use for me staying here now, so I plan to return to the Spirit Hall."

"Why don't you... stay here and cultivate with us? The cultivation speed will be much faster inside the Ice and Snow Divine Hall..."

As soon as Yu Tianshuang finished speaking, Shui Yue'er said somewhat unhappily, but seeing his firm attitude, she didn't say anything. However, the next moment her eyes lit up with excitement as she said, "By the way, you've joined the Spirit Hall, but we haven't joined yet. Take me with you this time, and I'll go and register everyone. Haha, then we'll all be members of the Spirit Hall."

"Nonsense, what are you, a mere Soul Emperor, going out for? Hmm... well, Tianshuang, this time I'll go back with you to visit this legendary woman, and also to register everyone. Yue'er, you just stay here obediently. If you're still stuck on the third level when I get back, hmph, you understand..."

Shui Bing'er turned her head and saw the amused looks in Yu Hairou and Xue Wu's eyes. Her pretty face flushed slightly. Sure enough, apart from Yue'er, that idiot, everyone could see it. But she still solemnly instructed, "You two should also cultivate diligently. Don't let others look down on you when you go back to the Spirit Hall. Also, help me keep an eye on Yue'er and don't let her slack off all day long..."

"Alright, alright, my dear Miss Bing'er, you should go now. And Tianshuang too, hehe, you must take good care of our Bing'er..."

Xue Wu stared at Shui Bing'er with an ambiguous look, then impatiently pushed her out, emphasizing the word "take care" in her words to Yu Tianshuang...
