"Tang Yin, why are you here again?"
Tang Yuehua asked with concern, her eyes shifting to the figure behind him.
"Who are you?"
Seeing the stunning woman trailing Tang Yin, she instinctively assumed she was another of his conquests. Was he bringing her here for another threesome? she thought, a flicker of displeasure crossing her face. This wicked nephew just finished filling me with his seed, and now he brings another woman? Utterly shameless.
Shui Bing'er stepped forward respectfully. "Are you the master of Moon Pavilion, Lady Tang Yuehua?"
Noting her politeness, Tang Yuehua masked her irritation. "I am."
Relieved, Shui Bing'er beamed. "Lady Tang Yuehua, I bring a letter from my mentor."
"Your mentor?" Tang Yuehua eyed her skeptically.
Shui Bing'er promptly handed over the letter. Its seal read: Shui Qing'er — Heaven Water Academy.
Tang Yuehua studied Shui Bing'er's blue hair and familiar features, realization dawning.
"You're Shui Qing'er's student?"
"Yes. I am Shui Bing'er."
Memories flooded back: her youthful travels across the continent with Shui Qing'er, their shared hardships forging an unbreakable bond. Though they rarely met now, letters kept them close. She recalled Qing'er's worries—her student's Ice Phoenix Spirit was plagued by corrosive negative energy, stunting her growth. Qing'er had begged Tang Yuehua to purify it with her Noble Circle Domain.
The letter confirmed everything. Helping Shui Bing'er would take time but posed little difficulty.
"Stay at Moon Pavilion, Bing'er," Tang Yuehua declared after explaining. "We'll address your spirit's corruption gradually."
"As you wish, Lady Tang Yuehua." Shui Bing'er bowed, marveling at their connection.
Nearby, Tang Yin watched, intrigued. With her staying here… I could 'care' for her intimately. His gaze lingered on Shui Bing'er's snow-pale skin, imagining its taste. He hid his lust beneath a neutral mask.
"Since your mentor is my dearest sister," Tang Yuehua said, taking Shui Bing'er's hand, "call me Auntie, like Tang Yin."
Shui Bing'er flushed, glancing at Tang Yin. "Is… that appropriate?"
"It's settled." Tang Yuehua waved off her hesitation. "I'll show you around." She shot Tang Yin a warning look before guiding Shui Bing'er away.
Alone in the parlor, Tang Yin lounged on a sofa. When they returned, Shui Bing'er approached him, curiosity overriding shyness.
"Tang Yin… may I ask you something?"
"Ask freely."
She summoned her Ice Phoenix Spirit. The spectral bird fixated on Tang Yin, its eyes blazing with icy blue light—drawn to him.
"My spirit senses something within you… something delicious," she admitted, cheeks pink.
Tang Yin's eyes glowed blue. A tiny, crystalline figure materialized, chirping like an infant as it fluttered around him.
"What is that?" Tang Yuehua gasped.
Ignoring her, Tang Yin addressed Shui Bing'er. "You feel this, yes?"
Shui Bing'er stared ravenously at the blue light. Her Ice Phoenix trembled—covetous yet afraid.
"This is a nurtured Immortal Herb Spirit," Tang Yin explained coldly. "Its frost power dwarfs your phoenix's current strength. One breath from it could freeze your spirit solid. Don't covet what you can't endure."
