Chapter 18: Delay Method

"Come home with me!" Shui Xin, who was standing beside her, said softly.

"Okay!" After hearing the word "home", Liu Yanyang nodded.

Following Shui Xinrou, I got on the carriage and set off for the Water Palace.

In the carriage, under Shui Xinrou's questioning, Liu Yanyang told her about his life in the past two years.

Hearing that he was going to Longxing City alone, Shui Xinrou couldn't help but tear up. At the same time, she was also happy that Liu Yanyang could meet Yang Wudi, a senior who was both his teacher and friend.

After the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Shui Mansion, Liu Yanyang followed Shui Xinrou out of the carriage.

In front of the gate, there were two girls in blue cotton coats, one was standing quietly and the other was chattering.

Seeing the people getting off the carriage, the chattering girl immediately ran over, bumped into Shui Xinrou's arms, and said coquettishly.

"Auntie, you're finally back. My sister said she'd wait for you to come back for dinner!"

"Little greedy cat, are you hungry?" Shui Xinrou smiled and gently touched the girl's head.

Enjoying Shui Xinrou's touch, the girl's eyebrows curved and her smile was bright.

But when she saw Liu Yanyang behind Shui Xinrou, she immediately broke free from his embrace, ran to Liu Yanyang, blinking her bright big eyes.

"Brother, you are so handsome!"

Liu Yanyang was a little dazed. He had some vague guesses from the scene just now.

Now this attitude and tone made her even more certain of the girl's identity - Shui Yue'er, the lovelorn girl in the original novel, Shui Bing'er's sister.

"Okay, stop making trouble, Yue'er." Shui Xinrou felt helpless.

Shui Yue'er pouted, looking a little unhappy, and ran to Shui Bing'er. "Sister, sister, I was right, he is really handsome!"

"Good girl, Yue'er!" Shui Bing'er touched Shui Yue'er's head, walked to Shui Xinrou and called her mother.

Then he looked at Liu Yanyang and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Long time no see."

Liu Yanyang was a little embarrassed and touched his head. "Long time no see, Miss Shui Bing'er."

Seeing the strangeness of the two people, Shui Xinrou felt puzzled. Her daughter was not like this usually, so why did she change like this today?

Then he thought, this was only the second time they met, so it was normal to feel a little strange. Not everyone can be as out and about as Shuiyue'er!

"Let's go eat first!" Shui Xinrou said.

Several people walked towards the restaurant...

During the meal, Shui Xinrou asked questions, Liu Yanyang answered, Shui Yueer interjected from time to time to liven up the atmosphere, and Shui Binger listened silently at the side.

After dinner, Shui Yueer ran to the yard to play. Normally, she would be restrained by Shui Xinrou, but today Shui Xinrou finally left her alone, so of course she had to indulge herself.

Shui Xinrou ran to the kitchen to cut fruit, leaving only Liu Yanyang and Shui Bing'er in the living room, sitting opposite each other on the sofa.

They all kept silent tacitly, the atmosphere gradually became abnormal, and finally Shui Bing'er couldn't help it.

"Can you tell me your soul power level?"

"A few days ago, I broke through to level 25," Liu Yanyang said lightly.

Shui Bing'er looked shocked, a little bit unbelieving, and a little disappointed.

She is only level 19 now, and that is due to special reasons.

She was feeling depressed. They were obviously the same age, both had top-level martial spirits, and their innate spirit power was only one level different. She had been practicing very hard, so why was there such a big difference? Looking at Shui Bing'er who was in a low mood, Liu Yanyang comforted her, "I had a special opportunity, which led to my practice becoming faster."

But Shui Bing'er didn't listen and was still in self-doubt.

Suddenly, Shui Bing'er didn't know what happened, her martial spirit manifested and attached itself to her back. Soul power surged, cold air filled the air, and the sofa and the ground were covered with ice.

She began to tremble and a look of pain appeared on her face. Shui Xinrou, who came out of the kitchen, saw this scene.

He dropped the fruit plate in his hand and quickly walked to Shui Bing'er. The soul power in his body surged and was directly input into Shui Bing'er's body.

After a while, the strange feeling disappeared, and Shui Bing'er collapsed weakly on the sofa. Shui Xinrou began to slowly output her soul power. Seeing that Shui Bing'er's body was no longer shaking, she withdrew her soul power.

"This...what is this?" Liu Yanyang asked puzzledly.

"Since you told Bing'er last time that absorbing the soul rings of the Phoenix subspecies soul beast can promote the evolution of the martial soul."

"I thought this method was feasible, so I found a 400-year-old water phoenix deep in the frozen forest."

"After absorbing it, Bing'er's martial soul has indeed become more solid, and she has also gained a very powerful soul skill - Frost Confinement, a single-target instantaneous strong control soul skill."

"But after that, Bing'er's martial spirit would occasionally manifest and riot, and each time I could only suppress it with soul power."

"It's just that every riot will put a huge burden on the body and may damage the foundation, but the good thing is that after each riot, the soul power will increase dramatically. This is why Bing'er's soul power is level 19 at the age of eight!"

Shui Xinrou said helplessly that she had tried all the methods she could and she was left with nothing else to do.

After listening to Shui Xinrou's words, Liu Yanyang began to fall into deep thought. It seemed that the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul wanted to evolve, so it began to riot and absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

But this will also cause damage to Shui Binger's meridians. The only solution now is to use the Nine Treasures Purple Ganoderma used by Gangzi in the original novel.

But if I go to get it now, Dugu Bo will probably kill me. I can’t run up to him and say, “Lao Deng, you’re poisoned. Trade with me for the immortal item and I’ll tell you how to detoxify!”

This method doesn’t work for the time being, so Liu Yanyang can only try another method, he said to Shui Xinrou.

"Aunt Shui, I don't have a solution for now, but I can reduce the pain Shui Bing'er suffers when she riots."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue from the storage soul guide and handed it to Shui Xinrou.

Seeing the whale glue in her hand, Shui Xinrou looked at Liu Yanyang in confusion. If she didn't know that this kid wouldn't make a fuss, she would have gotten angry long ago.

"Whale glue has a very good nourishing effect on soul masters. It strengthens the body and enhances the endurance of muscles, bones and meridians." Liu Yanyang said calmly.

Then, he summoned his martial soul, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, shone under his feet.

"Thousand... the second ring of the thousand years!" Shui Xinrou's face was filled with shock, and Shui Bing'er, who had recovered, was also shocked.

"After a soul master absorbs whale glue, his physical fitness will be enhanced, and the age of the soul rings he can absorb will also increase."

"So, Aunt Shui, don't tell anyone about this." Liu Yanyang said earnestly.

Shui Xinrou also knew the danger, and then said gently, "Thank you, Xiaoyang, otherwise I don't know what Bing'er should do!"

Shui Bing'er on the side also smiled, but her face looked a little pale.

Liu Yanyang waved his hand and said, "Use flames to melt the whale glue into liquid, soak the person in ice water, and then swallow it directly. After all, whale glue has side effects."

"You don't have to thank me. Miss Bing'er saved me before, so I'll just repay her. Aunt Shui, you should let Miss Bing'er take the whale glue first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Shui Xinrou nodded and took Shui Binger back to the room. Now the only thing left was the soul ring. Liu Yanyang was in deep thought.
