Chapter 43 Conversation

When Shui Ningbing spoke of Shui Bing'er, a hint of pride appeared on her face.

From a young age, she always gave Shui Bing'er the best treatment and arrangements. Shui Bing'er was well-behaved and sensible, patient in everything she did, and devoted herself to cultivation. She was definitely the kind of child everyone admired.

Shen Hanyu nodded in agreement.

Shui Bing'er was sixteen years old when she first appeared in the original work, but her soul power had already reached level 43 Soul Master. She was worthy of her innate level 9 soul power. If Tang San had not had the immortal herb and awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he probably would not have reached this level at the age of sixteen.

As for other people, it's probably not very likely.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar possess support-type and food-type martial souls, respectively. The further they progress, the more difficult their cultivation becomes. Ning Rongrong can only reach the peak of Soul Saint at most. Zhu Zhuqing's innate seventh-level aptitude is insufficient, so her cultivation speed will naturally slow down. As for Ma Hongjun, his biggest obstacle is the Evil Flame; hopefully, he won't lose control and die in the brothel. Dai Mubai, the Time Tiger, doesn't have much of a chance either. As for the old rabbit Xiao Wu, she likely won't survive. Of course, if that old bastard Tang Hao dares to interfere, he wouldn't mind acquiring all six top-tier soul bones in her body, as well as that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor leg bone—that would definitely be his.

He had already made arrangements for this soul bone. He had absorbed the left arm bone of the Xuanhai Glazed Beast because it was of good quality. Now, this soul bone has become an obstacle for him. He will definitely replace it when he gets a suitable soul bone in the future.

Seeing that Shen Hanyu was somewhat distracted, Shui Ningbing smiled helplessly and coughed lightly.

Shen Hanyu realized what was happening and showed a hint of apology:

"I'm sorry, Dean Shui, I was thinking about something and got a little lost in thought."

Shui Ningbing waved her hand, looking at Shen Hanyu with a hint of amusement, and said:

"Don't be so formal. If you'd like, just call me Aunt Shui."

Shen Hanyu nodded, not wanting to be impolite, and said softly:

"Aunt Shui"

Shui Ningbing smiled and nodded, then suddenly stepped forward and circled around Shen Hanyu, saying:

"Could you tell me your cultivation level? I'm very curious. Shen Liuyu has a seventh-level innate soul power, and at the age of eleven, he already has a cultivation level close to that of a Soul Venerable. As his older brother, you probably aren't far behind, are you?"

Shen Hanyu also roughly figured out Shui Ningbing's purpose in coming here.

She probably saw that her little cabbage had been deceived by someone and was frequently running away from home, so as a parent, she felt uneasy and simply followed behind the two of them or even coerced them to come along.

"A level 66 Soul Emperor, he only recently broke through."

Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly, not pretending, after all, the other party had no ill intentions, and he would probably have to call him that in the future... cough cough, those who know, know.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.

Shen Liuyu felt several strange gazes falling on her, which gave her goosebumps. She could only glare fiercely at her stinky older brother...

It's all your fault, you're so outstanding, waaaaah, I've become the comparison group...

Shuiyue'er's mouth was wide open as she stared blankly at Shen Hanyu.

Ahhh, my idol truly lives up to his name, he's just so handsome...

Shui Bing'er stared at Shen Hanyu, her mouth agape, her eyes brimming with shock. She never imagined, even in her dying moments, that a boy not much older than herself would already be a Soul Emperor…

Waaaaah, I feel so inferior, family members, I miss Yuyu…

Shui Ningbing looked at Shen Hanyu with a somewhat complicated expression and said uncertainly:

"Are you telling the truth?"

Shen Hanyu shrugged, informed Tianmeng, and six soul rings of optimal proportions—yellow, purple, black, and yellow—rose up. He then said:

"Genuine or genuine."

Although Tianmeng's mental strength isn't particularly adept at offensive attacks, it's arguably the best on the continent when it comes to disguise and reconnaissance. Disguising a few spirit rings is a piece of cake for Tianmeng...

Shui Ningbing was completely speechless. Her gaze towards Shen Hanyu shifted slightly, darting back and forth between him and Shui Bing'er a few times before finally speaking solemnly to Shen Hanyu:

"So, aren't you two... a bit too young...?"

Shen Hanyu and Shui Bing'er were taken aback, and then a burst of brainstorming ensued.

Goodness, what are you imagining? How did you get onto this topic? Your niece is only nine years old, are you in such a hurry to send her away? That's a bit outrageous...

Shui Bing'er and Shen Hanyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and shock in each other's eyes.

Thinking of this, Shen Hanyu chuckled and said:

"Aunt Shui, we can skip this topic. Bing'er and I are just friends..."

Shui Bing'er nodded quickly.

She doesn't oppose Shen Hanyu, but that doesn't mean she likes or accepts him. Besides, she's too young to consider this issue at all. Even if it's an engagement, she absolutely won't agree! Huh!

Shui Ningbing realized that she had just asked a question as if she were possessed, and a hint of apology appeared on her gentle face. She quickly changed the subject:

"I came in a bit of a hurry this time. I just wanted to see who Bing'er and Yue'er's friend was. I was just joking earlier..."

Shui Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief and silently took a few steps back, standing behind Shui Yue'er.

Her aunt's personality was rather peculiar. Although she was quite old, she sometimes acted like a teenage girl, and even had a charmingly naive side, much like her deceased mother...

Shen Hanyu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had the idea of ​​playing the role of a nurturing child, he had no intention of starting at three years and going up to the death penalty.

One approach is to cultivate a mindset that doesn't break the law, while the other is purely a distortion of human nature and a decline in morality. Shen Hanyu didn't consider himself that twisted...

…………

After a brief silence

Shui Ningbing suddenly said:

"Um... Hanyu, I'd like to ask what you think of Bing'er's martial soul cultivation direction. You're a cultivation genius, so you should know that Bing'er and I have some disagreements on this. Bing'er and I both want to hear your opinion."

Shen Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief, gestured for everyone to sit down, and then said:

"My opinion is simple: the Ice Phoenix is ​​still more suited to an offensive style. There have been many phoenix martial souls throughout history, including the Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, Poison Phoenix, and a Fiery Phoenix that evolved from a Flame Sparrow martial soul master for some unknown reason."

"But without exception, they are all power-attack type Soul Masters, and even the lowest-ranking among them are Title Douluo."

"The Phoenix Martial Soul excels at powerful attacks and outstanding speed, which are essential requirements for becoming a power-attack type Soul Master. As for control type, it's really a waste of the Phoenix Martial Soul..."

Shui Bing'er pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Seeing this, Shen Hanyu paused for a moment, then added:

"Of course, you can also choose the control type, but that means giving up the Phoenix Martial Soul's most powerful and best-suited attack ability in order to choose a control type skill that does not provide any boost to yourself compared to it. The difference is indeed huge."

Shen Hanyu briefly explained the pros and cons, and he believed that the intelligent Shui Bing'er would understand his meaning. As for her choice, Shen Hanyu was understanding.

P.S.: After getting off the plane and transferring to the train, my head is killing me, and I think I have a fever... Suddenly going from Guangdong in the twenties (Celsius) to the sub-zero north is so disorienting, I'm freezing...
