Returning to the hotel, it was already close to dusk.
Yang Tian didn't go back to his own room, but followed Shui Bing'er directly to her room.
Shui Bing'er turned around and saw Yang Tian following closely, her vigilance immediately rising. Had she, perhaps, caused him to misunderstand?
"You, why are you following me?" Shui Bing'er asked nervously.
"I just want to visit your room." Yang Tian ignored Shui Bing'er and entered her room directly.
There was no strong perfume scent in the room; instead, a faint, unique fragrance of a young girl wafted towards him.
"Come in, I have something good to show you." Yang Tian sat down on Shui Bing'er's fragrant bed.
How could Shui Bing'er dare to go in? She hesitated at the doorway.
Seeing this, Yang Tian immediately said, "Do you think if I wanted to do something, you could run away by standing outside?"
Shui Bing'er heard this and thought, 'Aha, that actually makes sense...' Hehe, isn't that helpless?
Reluctantly moving her feet, Shui Bing'er wasn't truly afraid that Yang Tian would become a beast; she believed Yang Tian wouldn't genuinely force her to take the final step. But she was afraid Yang Tian would demand compensation from her...
Her steps felt as if they were shackled with a thousand-pound weight; every step required immense effort. Yang Tian shook his head helplessly. Was he really that terrifying?
Yang Tian gently held out his hand, and a Frost Spirit Snow Lotus bloomed in his palm.
Of the nine lotus seeds on the snow lotus, two were already missing.
Yang Tian reached out and plucked three of the remaining eight lotus seeds, then put the Frost Spirit Snow Lotus back into his system space.
Under the cultivation of the palm heaven bottle, the Frost Spirit Snow Lotus's effects already far surpassed those of an immortal-grade item; even a single lotus seed was more potent than the original entire immortal-grade plant.
And now, Yang Tian had plucked three lotus seeds at once.
"This is..."
Shui Bing'er, who was still slowly moving into the room, her eyes lit up. The aura of those lotus seeds could actually resonate with her Spirit.
Yang Tian ignored Shui Bing'er's surprise, holding the three lotus seeds in his palm. After a moment, the three lotus seeds melted into one, becoming a smooth, ice-crystal-colored granule the size of a pinky finger.
"Eat this, and then refine it properly. During the refinement process, pay attention to suppressing the growth of your spirit power." Yang Tian spoke, handing the ice pearl, formed from the three snow lotus seeds, to Shui Bing'er.
However, Shui Bing'er suddenly took two steps back, her gem-like eyes fixed on Yang Tian: "You, why are you suddenly so nice to me?"
"What?" Yang Tian was startled. What did she mean, 'suddenly so nice to her'? Had he not been nice to her before?
"You, for the past two days, you've been trying to take advantage of me and bully me. What's wrong today?" Shui Bing'er gently raised her jade hand, wanting to check the temperature of Yang Tian's forehead, but she couldn't. Yang Tian's upper face was covered by a white jade mask, so there was no way to check anything.
Yang Tian heard this and looked at Shui Bing'er speechlessly. So, I'm supposed to have ill intentions towards you? Actually, I still have ill intentions now.
"Why so much nonsense? Open your mouth." Yang Tian was too lazy to explain anything to Shui Bing'er; he had to help Shui Bing'er initially dissolve the medicinal power, and then they needed to go to the Soul Arena.
Shui Bing'er's pink lips subconsciously parted slightly, and then Yang Tian fed the ice pearl into Shui Bing'er's mouth.
The ice pearl melted upon entering her mouth, and immediately, a pure, cool energy spread within Shui Bing'er's body. That energy was extremely Yin and cold; even with her Ice Phoenix Spirit, Shui Bing'er shivered instantly.
"Sit properly, calm your mind, focus your Spirit, remember my words, and suppress the growth of your spirit power level as much as possible to solidify your foundation."
Hearing Yang Tian's solemn voice, Shui Bing'er didn't dare to hesitate and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed.
Yang Tian then came before Shui Bing'er and placed his hand on her lower abdomen.
With her lower abdomen covered by a large hand, Shui Bing'er's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful, watery eyes looked at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian's face darkened. Was his character really that bad?
"Don't overthink it."
After explaining, a gentle and warm aura emanated from Yang Tian's palm, embracing Shui Bing'er's lower abdomen.
And as Yang Tian acted, Shui Bing'er, who had been shivering from the cold energy, felt a warmth spread through her body, letting out a comfortable hum. Then, with a flushed face, she concentrated on refining the medicinal power.
With three lotus seeds being refined simultaneously, Shui Bing'er herself couldn't control the immense energy that erupted in that instant.
Therefore, while Yang Tian used his own spirit power to dispel some of the cold, he also helped her suppress a portion of the medicinal power's diffusion, allowing Shui Bing'er to gradually refine the medicinal power of the three lotus seeds.
Yang Tian's spirit power continuously poured into Shui Bing'er's body, partly to dispel the cold and partly to suppress the lotus seed's medicinal power.
Shui Bing'er concentrated on refining the medicinal power until that warm large hand slowly left. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she heard Yang Tian speak: "Refine the medicinal power slowly; don't rush for success."
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er once again focused on refining the medicinal power. However, she couldn't help but worry in her heart: Yang Tian had consumed so much of his spirit power for her, what would they do about tonight's Soul Arena match?
Yang Tian left behind a Pure Qi Incarnation and departed. As Yang Tian's understanding of One Qi, Three Purities deepened, this Pure Qi Incarnation could now exist for five hours. It was more than enough to guard Shui Bing'er; after all, the Pure Qi Incarnation possessed all of Yang Tian's strength.
In the Soul Arena, Yang Tian opened the door to the manager's office.
On the sofa, Lin Zhiling was lazily holding a plate of fruit and eating. Seeing Yang Tian approach, she seemed to recall last night's frenzy, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
However, despite her shyness, Lin Zhiling still couldn't believe that Yang Tian's seemingly conventional physique was so powerful.
Lin Zhiling heard Yang Tian's cheesy endearment and exclaimed, "Why are you so cheesy? I'm an old woman over thirty, and still calling me 'baby'..."
"Does Mrs. Lin look over thirty? Why do I feel like she's only twenty?" Yang Tian gently stroked Lin Zhiling's cheek. He was speaking the truth; Lin Zhiling was already very well-preserved, and coupled with being a Spirit Master, she looked like she was in her twenties, in the prime of her life, skin without congealed fat, even at over thirty.
With the snow lotus seeds Yang Tian gave her, her skin appeared even fairer and more delicate. Now, if she walked out the door, anyone who saw her would only think she was twenty.
Lin Zhiling's heart was filled with sweetness. What woman doesn't like to hear others praise her youth? Moreover, the person praising her was her beloved.
"Slick-tongued little man."
"Is that so? Want to experience it again?"
"..."
Lin Zhiling was speechless. This little rascal, why was he full of dirty talk? There was no way to have a conversation like this.
"Experience your big head, you ghost."
Lin Zhiling glared fiercely at Yang Tian, then ungraciously pulled out the large hand that had somehow slipped into her embrace: "The Soul Arena match is about to start. Don't dawdle here. Don't even think about it tonight."
