"Are you sure?"
Xu Ran's gaze fixed intently on Shui Bing'er, his heart couldn't help but flare with heat. Shui Bing'er, having completed her transformation, was even more beautiful than before, and she possessed an additional air of chilly maturity.
"Mhm," Shui Bing'er nodded shyly, her cheeks flushed. She gently pulled down the zipper on her clothing, and her attire slowly slid off, revealing her snow-white, flawless figure to Xu Ran.
At this moment, all other scenery paled in comparison.
Her exquisite figure, her tender, snow-white skin, combined with her water-blue, shoulder-length hair, was so breathtakingly beautiful that even Xu Ran found it nearly irresistible.
"Silly girl." Xu Ran swallowed the saliva that was building up in his mouth and shifted his gaze away, taking out a piece of gauze from the Storage Soul Guidance Device to wrap around Shui Bing'er's exposed body.
Although he could easily make Shui Bing'er wholly his woman at this moment, he chose not to.
He understood that part of Shui Bing'er's impulsiveness carried a sense of wanting to repay a debt. Even though her true feelings were involved, Xu Ran didn't want to take Shui Bing'er in such a moment.
He wanted Shui Bing'er to wholeheartedly give her heart to him before they would truly unite as one.
Of course, the most important reason was that Shui Bing'er had just finished absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, and it was simply not suitable for her to engage in those activities. Otherwise, it could harm a girl's body.
"Xu Ran..." Shui Bing'er's body trembled slightly, looking incredulously at Xu Ran.
She couldn't believe that even after she had offered herself, Xu Ran remained unmoved.
She lowered her head to look at her own delicate body, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"You've just finished absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, and your body is still carrying the cold. If I took you now, the cold could enter my body as well, leading to palace cold. It's not good for your health," Xu Ran said.
"Oh," Shui Bing'er responded softly, her concerns washed away by Xu Ran's explanation, a deep sense of happiness welling up in her heart, feeling utterly cherished.
"So, what do we do now?" Shui Bing'er pouted, her voice tinged with bashful embarrassment.
"Of course, it's time to sleep," Xu Ran said smiling, hugging Shui Bing'er, who was only draped in a gauze, and walked straight toward the bed. Although Xu Ran did not plan on doing that, he had no intention of passing up this perfect pillow to embrace.
Xu Ran, holding Shui Bing'er, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and they embraced each other as they fell asleep.
...
"Ah!"
In the early morning, a loud shriek echoed, waking both Xu Ran and Shui Bing'er.
At that moment, Shui Yue'er stared dumfounded at the bed where Xu Ran and Shui Bing'er were curled up together, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Throughout the previous day, Xu Ran had not gone to the training room, and her sister wasn't around either. Though they could follow the training manual to practice the content Xu Ran had arranged, she couldn't help but let her mind wander.
Others might not know, but she spent every day intimately with Xu Ran, and she was very aware. The lascivious Xu Ran had always harbored some thoughts about her sister. After all, her sister was not only the foremost talent of Tianshui College but also a famously stunning beauty. She refused to believe that Xu Ran wasn't moved by her.
Even so, she still gave Xu Ran some ideas.
After all, she was indifferent to those worldly rites and rituals. It was better for her and her sister to marry Xu Ran together than to let some other pig scoop up her sister!
But when she opened the door and saw such an erotic scene, she was still shocked.
She hadn't expected that her sister would be taken down by Xu Ran so quickly, and to think that she stumbled upon them sleeping together.
"Yue'er, you're here," Xu Ran greeted with a smile upon seeing the charming Shui Yue'er standing at the doorway. Although Yue'er was slightly lesser in talent and beauty compared to Bing'er and the others, if there was someone Xu Ran shared the deepest connection with at Tianshui College, it definitely was Shui Yue'er.
Bold, passionate, and open, these were the unique epithets for this girl. With Shui Yue'er, Xu Ran didn't have too many inhibitions and could share a lot of heartfelt words with her.
"Hehe, Brother Xu Ran is so impressive. You took down my sister so quickly," Shui Yue'er blinked her beautiful eyes, sniffed around the room with her small, cute nose, and didn't detect any unusual scent. It seemed Xu Ran and the others hadn't gone all the way last night.
When Shui Bing'er woke up and saw Shui Yue'er standing so pertly at the bedside, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on her and Xu Ran, she felt so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole.
Shui Bing'er had always been thin-skinned in that regard, and now being spied on by her sister, how could she stand it?
Immediately, Shui Bing'er could only cover her blushing cheeks with a thin silk quilt, shrinking into the bedding like a small kitten, to hide her embarrassment.
"Hehe, what's there to be scared of, sister? It'll be nice for us sisters to marry together in the future, then we'll never have to separate again," Shui Yue'er chuckled playfully and boldly pounced over to Shui Bing'er's side, directly pulling off the thin silk quilt Shui Bing'er was using to cover herself.
"Yue'er, no fooling around," Shui Bing'er said, feeling extremely shy, but she could only try to be authoritative with Shui Yue'er. That girl was too wild, and she could only use her seniority as an elder sister to suppress her.
"Humph. You still want to use that status to suppress me, but it won't work," Shui Yue'er said with a giggle.
"According to the order of getting together with Xu Ran, you'll have to call me elder sister in the future." Shui Yue'er grinned and started to tickle Shui Bing'er's armpit.
"Giggle, stop, Yue'er, please stop," Shui Bing'er, trembling like a blooming branch, pleaded as Shui Yue'er teased her.
"Hehe, I can stop, but you have to call me elder sister first," Shui Yue'er persisted, having been the younger sister at home for so many years; she too wanted to know what it felt like to be called elder sister by Shui Bing'er.
"Yue'er, don't even think about it," Shui Bing'er set her face sternly, but broke her defense in the next moment. After all, she was bare at the moment and didn't dare to start a physical altercation with Shui Yue'er.
"Elder sister, dear elder sister, I admit defeat, okay?" Shui Bing'er's pretty face turned red, Shui Yue'er that girl dared to touch everywhere, completely lacking the modesty of a young lady.
Xu Ran watched the playful scene between Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er with a knowing smile, feeling a faint sense of guilt towards Shui Yue'er.
He knew Shui Yue'er acted this way to ease her sister's embarrassment and struggle, intentionally letting her sister and himself relax. This girl, who seemed careless, was in fact more thoughtful than anyone else.
But he could only wait to grow stronger before making it up to her.
Right now, he truly didn't have any treasures that could significantly enhance Shui Yue'er's abilities.
Even the Piercing Gaze Dew could only purely help to raise her "Cultivation Level" and spiritual power, unlike Shui Bing'er who underwent such a huge transformation. Shui Yue'er didn't possess the Purple Demon Eyes and could only absorb the pure energy in the Longing Autumn Water. She wouldn't get many benefits like Tang San did in the original story.
