After listening, Shui Ningbing nodded in agreement.
What Shen Hanyu said was exactly what she had been thinking.
It was just a pity that her little niece had a rather stubborn temperament. She was willing to listen, but unwilling to change, to the point that Shui Ningbing had even started to feel like compromising.
After all, if her fragrant and soft little niece didn't want to cuddle with her, that would be her own loss. This was the little girl she had raised herself; of course, she was extremely important to her.
She and her husband had no bloodline continuation, so Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had long been treated as her own daughters; they were only one step away from calling her "Mom"…
Shui Bing'er hesitated as she looked at Shen Hanyu and her little aunt. Her hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, creasing it deeply. Finally, as if she had made a decision, she slowly released them and said:
"Then I'll give up the control system and switch to cultivating as a strong attack system soul master. Little Aunt, I've thought it through."
Shui Ningbing was stunned for a moment, then joyfully stepped forward to hug Shui Bing'er and said:
"It's good that you've thought it through, it's good that you've thought it through. It's not that Little Aunt is forcing you; it's just that with your talent and such a powerful martial soul, walking the control system path would truly be burying your potential. Now that you've made the right decision, Little Aunt is very gratified…"
Shen Hanyu also said:
"The ice attribute can naturally cultivate both the control system and the strong attack system. You don't need to make too big a change; you just need to pay attention to the type of soul beasts you hunt for your soul rings in the future."
After all, if he remembered correctly, in the original story, this girl's soul skills had quite a few issues.
The first soul skill was undoubtedly an ice-sealing skill, a control system soul skill.
The second soul skill, however, was a defense system soul skill.
The third soul skill could only barely be considered a control system soul skill.
Such a combination of soul skills was truly rather strange. Although it was strong, it ultimately lacked logic and order.
......
Seeing Shui Bing'er make her choice, Shui Ningbing visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She secretly gave Shen Hanyu a grateful smile, then pulled Shui Bing'er aside to discuss what soul beast she should hunt for her second soul ring.
Shui Yue'er, on the other hand, came forward with a look of admiration, tugged at the hem of Shen Hanyu's clothes, and said:
"Brother Yu, it's still you who can talk sense into her. Little Aunt and I tried persuading Big Sis many times, but she absolutely wouldn't listen. Yet the moment you spoke, Big Sis listened. Hehe, Brother Yu, you have to keep Big Sis in line from now on~."
The corner of Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Shui Bing'er had actually already been on the verge of making the decision; he had simply analyzed the pros and cons. Naturally, Shui Bing'er's heart would follow the better path. As for why in the original story she still chose the control system, Shen Hanyu had no idea.
Shen Liuyu, meanwhile, slowly sidled over and said playfully:
"Bro~ I'm about to break through to Soul Elder too, you know. So, shouldn't Your Highness make some time to take your adorable little sister out for a trip~?"
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow. Sensing her soul power, he confirmed she was indeed at the peak of level 29, just a step away from breaking through to level 30.
"Heh, you're finally about to break through. I'm almost embarrassed to admit you're my sister, you're so slow…"
Shen Hanyu mercilessly teased her.
"Hmph! Do you think everyone is a big freak like you? This young lady is already very talented, okay? Even the Dean said I'm stronger than Bing'er."
Shen Liuyu said somewhat aggrievedly, blinking her big eyes pitifully.
Shui Ningbing suddenly let out a light laugh from the side and said:
"Liuyu, when did I ever say those words? Don't slander me, okay~."
Shen Liuyu turned her head, covered her small mouth, and put on an expression as if she were about to cry, looking as though she had been abandoned by a scumbag. This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Shen Hanyu rubbed the space between his brows and slowly said:
"How about this: Bing'er only needs her second soul ring, and Liuyu only needs her third. The difficulty isn't great, so I can take them. Aunt Shui, you must be very busy with affairs and unable to get away for a short time, right?"
Shui Ningbing nodded. The way she looked at Shen Hanyu became even more gratified and satisfied.
Truth be told, she was the kind of busy where her feet barely touched the ground. The academy not only lacked funds, but because it was all female, many matters required her to handle them personally. In her rare free time, she still had to guide teachers or outstanding students in cultivation. It had already been very difficult for her to find time today.
For things like helping Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er obtain soul rings, she usually entrusted other teachers to handle them.
Now that Shen Hanyu was willing to take them, his strength was not lacking, and he was very familiar with her nieces and students. This way, she could feel at ease.
"Then I'll trouble you. Recently, quite a few soul beasts that normally only appear in icy plains have shown up in the Icebound Forest. You can go there. I'll arrange a carriage to send you off tomorrow morning."
Shen Hanyu nodded. The others had no objections, and so the matter was happily settled.
......
Early the next morning.
A rather ordinary-looking carriage was indeed waiting outside the gate.
Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er poked their heads out from inside. The former waved excitedly and shouted:
"Brother Yu, Sister Liuyu, hurry up! We're about to set off!"
It can be seen that the little girl is very interested and in a very good mood.
Shen Hanyu led Shen Liuyu slowly out and boarded the carriage one after the other.
…
Inside the carriage.
Shen Hanyu and his sister Shen Liuyu sat on one side, while the Shui Bing'er sisters sat on the other.
Facing each other, Shui Bing'er softly spoke:
"Someone Little Aunt sent out brought news that traces of a Silver Emperor Heavenly Falcon have been discovered. That's my target this time."
Shen Hanyu nodded; he was not surprised in the least. For people with their background to go soul-hunting without any prior intelligence would be the most laughable thing.
"That works. Roughly what cultivation year?"
Shen Hanyu asked directly.
The Silver Emperor Heavenly Falcon was known as the king of slaughter in the sky, possessing extremely powerful attack power and speed. In the air, an ordinary ten-thousand-year Silver Emperor Heavenly Falcon could even rival a human rank 91 or 92 Titled Douluo.
Because the sky was their domain, and aerial combat was undoubtedly what they excelled at most. Their extreme attack power and formidable strength perfectly demonstrated their kingly status.
Shui Bing'er nodded without the slightest surprise and said:
"They only discovered traces, so the exact years are uncertain, but it definitely won't be too high, probably between five hundred and one thousand three hundred years. If it's higher, we can just look for another soul beast."
Shen Hanyu shook his head and said:
"There's no big problem. Even if it's a bit higher, it won't be an issue."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Hanyu still said:
"Bing'er, do you want to absorb a soul ring beyond the limit?"
Shui Bing'er had excellent talent. If she absorbed a soul ring that exceeded the limit, her future achievements could rise even higher.
Shen Hanyu was quite willing to help with this, provided he was certain of his own and Shen Liuyu's safety.
Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded and said:
"I do. No soul master could resist such temptation."
Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu exchanged a glance, both seemingly thinking about something. After a long pause, Shen Hanyu softly said:
"I do have a way, but I need to be certain that you and Yue'er won't reveal it to anyone…"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looked at Shen Hanyu in shock, then glanced at each other and involuntarily swallowed.
Shui Yue'er sensibly stayed quiet. She knew that this was a matter between the older brother and sisters; a little silly girl like her couldn't interject or influence the decision. She only needed to wait for the result.
Shui Bing'er looked at Shen Hanyu. Confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes, followed by gravity. Finally, she asked:
"What do Yue'er and I need to give in return? Something this precious, I don't believe you would tell us for free…"
