A blush rose on Shui Bing'er's pretty face.
Why would Lin Xiao suddenly say such things?
Lin Xiao took Shui Bing'er's delicate, boneless little hand. Her touch was soft and warm, not cold at all. It seemed that as her physique improved, the side effects of her practicing the Phoenix Frolic had also decreased.
"Bing'er, in the future, through all the mountains and rivers, will you accompany me to see them?"
Gasp! He's confessing!
Shui Bing'er was extremely nervous, feeling the joy of suddenly being hit by a tremendous prize. Her small head nodded incessantly, and she shyly said:
"As long as it's Brother Lin Xiao speaking, Bing'er is willing."
After she finished speaking, she felt her own face getting a little hot.
At this moment, Lin Xiao frankly told Shui Bing'er about his feelings for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback.
She didn't seem surprised. Instead, she let out a heavy sigh of relief and said:
"Sister Ling Ling and Sister Yanyan are both wonderful people. Actually, I've known for a long time that they like you, Brother Lin Xiao. But even so, they never made things difficult for me and continued to treat me very well."
Speaking of this, Shui Bing'er said with some despondency:
"Sister Ling Ling and Sister Yanyan aren't useless like Bing'er. From childhood to adulthood, I've only ever taken from Brother Lin Xiao. Even though I've been working hard at my cultivation, I still can't help Brother Lin Xiao."
The sensitive heart of the young girl harbored a hidden inferiority complex.
Compared to Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian's investments and care for Lin Xiao, Shui Bing'er always felt a step below, yet she occupied Lin Xiao's affection. She was very afraid that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling would look at her differently.
She felt she didn't deserve the favor.
Lin Xiao had never thought about it that way. It wasn't until he heard Shui Bing'er speak that he felt both amused and heartbroken. He reached out and poked the little girl's cheek with his finger.
"Silly girl, you yourself are the greatest gift to me."
"Besides, who says you can't help me? Have you forgotten our Martial Soul Fusion Skill? We astonished everyone with just a little display during the Soul Master Competition."
Martial Souls are the foundation of a Soul Master's existence.
Shui Bing'er's Ultimate Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was a perfect match for Lin Xiao. Even if they ascended to godhood in the future, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill would still be astonishingly powerful.
Shui Bing'er's mood brightened. "That's right! Only Bing'er can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Brother Lin Xiao~"
But she immediately became troubled again.
How should she interact with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in the future?
"Brother Lin Xiao, how should I face Sister Yanyan and Sister Ling Ling from now on? I... should I change how I address them?"
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"No need. How it was before, so it shall be in the future."
He had clearly made up his mind.
Since he couldn't bear to let any of them go, he wouldn't let any of them down.
A mortal's life is very short, so short that spending a lifetime accompanying a loved one feels brief. But deities have eternal lifespans, enough time to grow weary of each other after a long while.
Therefore, Lin Xiao wanted them all to become gods!
But this was not easy. In the original story, even Tang San, who possessed both the Sea God and Asura Godhoods, only brought his parents and the other six members of Shrek to the God Realm. Even Yu Xiaogang was left in the lower realm.
Hmm, this shows that the "father" in "a teacher for a day is a father for life" is different from a biological father.
But this is also normal.
Didn't Lü Bu's Halberd specifically pierce his foster father? The halberd was dedicated to his favored foster father.
In his Sea of Consciousness, Feng Yu seized the opportunity to say:
"Not just your confidantes, but you also want to bring Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian to the God Realm, don't you? But even if you inherit the Asura Godhood, you won't have that authority. Of course, if you overthrow the God Realm with me and become the supreme God King with absolute authority, then it will be easy..."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
Feng Yu always wanted to tempt him into rebellion, but the God Realm had been peaceful for many years. Even the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King couldn't stir up much trouble, let alone himself, who was currently only a Soul Saint, and Feng Yu, whose damage was far greater than Gu Yuena's?
However, Lin Xiao was already on the pirate ship.
He had long been prepared to be a "thief god."
But in this case, it was almost impossible to get in through the back door like Tang San. It would be best to let Shui Bing'er and the others gain the recognition of deities through their own efforts, or to cultivate themselves into gods.
Fortunately, everyone's talent was good, and they had all taken Immortal Herbs that could transform them. The road ahead was long and arduous, but there was always hope for success.
...
Night fell.
Lin Xiao was in Shui Bing'er's boudoir, but he didn't make any improper moves. Instead, he sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, preparing to cultivate the "Yin Yang Phoenix Nirvana Profound Chapter."
Why was Lin Xiao so proper when facing Bing'er?
Sister Ling Ling and Sister Yanyan were both over 20, but Bing'er was only 16.
If one has the intention, one waits for the flower to bloom;
After the flowers bloomed.
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be dying."
This was also the reason why Shui Bing'er and Lin Xiao could afford to wait, but Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could not. Lin Xiao had to give them an explanation and couldn't keep avoiding them.
Fortunately, the final outcome was quite good.
The extreme cold and extreme flame soul powers converged, instantly attracting each other like magnets, intertwined and inseparable. After the fusion of yin and yang, they transformed into Essence Qi, filling Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er's bodies.
Nourishing their bodies and improving their physiques.
After three such nights, Lin Xiao appeared invigorated, and Shui Bing'er's condition was even better than before.
This led her mother, Bai Xiuyun, to suspect that the two had secretly tasted forbidden fruit.
She secretly checked Shui Bing'er's virginity mark and saw that it was still there, leaving her unsure whether she was happy or disappointed.
Lin Xiao... was a person worth entrusting.
This wasn't some scoundrel that needed to be guarded against, nor someone that parents would rack their brains to break up.
Lin Xiao stayed with Bing'er in Skywater City for a month.
During this time, Shui Bing'er was greatly surprised to learn that Lin Xiao had already become a Soul Saint.
While happy, she also felt that her help to Lin Xiao had become even smaller, and the gap between them seemed to have widened.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"Silly girl, I advanced so rapidly because of my continuous opportunities. Do you know that my Soul Bones are already fully equipped?"
"If you keep overthinking, I'll have to punish you!"
Shui Bing'er blushed a deep red.
She always felt that Lin Xiao's "punishment" was likely to be something embarrassing, but she didn't resist it.
The two cultivated diligently and spent all their days together, feeling time fly by. Before they knew it, it was time for Lin Xiao to leave Skywater City.
Lin Xiao naturally took Shui Bing'er with him when he left. Shui Bing'er's parents, however, handed Shui Yue'er over to Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er, saying, "Listen to your brother-in-law and sister," and then left them to fend for themselves.
The day before they were to leave Skywater City.
Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er went to the outskirts where they had first practiced their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Ten years had passed.
It was a winter day with snowflakes filling the air once again.
Returning to the old place, both Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er's eyes flashed with recollection and nostalgia.
Ten years was enough time for a relationship to break, and also enough time for a relationship to become more mellow and intoxicating under the nourishment of time, entering a new chapter!
Lin Xiao suggested that they perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill here again.
Under the warm sun on a snowy day.
The two did not hold hands but moved closer to each other and embraced.
As their soul powers merged and their hearts connected.
Shui Bing'er closed her eyes.
She silently made a wish.
The little girl dared not ask for too much; she only wished that in the rest of her life, Brother Lin Xiao could always accompany her, and never, ever abandon her.
