Chapter 414: Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu

The Extreme North, Frost Forest.

The cold wind is biting, the snow stretches vast and boundless.

Two female figures, one ice-blue and one fiery-red, stepped out side by side.

"Five years, we actually stayed in this godforsaken place for a full five years..."

The woman on the right wears a fiery-red dress, has fiery-red long hair, and her whole being is as brilliant as fire.

She is Huo Wu five years later.

"No one expected us to encounter such a peerless opportunity here; his guidance was truly too accurate..."

The woman on the left wears an ice-blue dress, has ice-blue long hair, and eyes like Ice and Snow; her voice is clear and pleasant.

She is Shui Bing'er five years later.

"That bastard, if it weren't for him, how would we have encountered such a bizarre Assessment, it practically tied the two of us together..."

Huo Wu flicked her long hair: "My hair has grown so long, I'm really not used to it."

"Huo Wu, he really likes long hair..."

Shui Bing'er smiled softly, smoothed her own ice-blue long hair, then gently raised her head, looking into the distance, as if layers of light and shadow were flashing in her eyes.

"Five years... I... miss him so much..."

Her expression was lingering, filled with attachment.

Huo Wu opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to say something disdainful, but Qin Jian's face flashed unexpectedly through her mind, and suddenly she couldn't say a word.

"I thought you were going to be stubborn again..."

Shui Bing'er smiled softly: "Do you... miss him too?"

"Who... who misses him..."

Huo Wu pouted and looked the other way: "That bastard is just our ex-boyfriend, what is there to miss?"

"Do you really not miss him?"

Shui Bing'er suddenly turned around, her icy eyes staring intently at her, her lips curling: "I don't know who it was, while going through the Purgatory Fire Sea, calling out Qin Jian's name day and night!"

"Shui Bing'er!"

Huo Wu's face turned red instantly, and smoke rose from the tips of her hair: "We agreed that everyone would forget about this!"

She stomped her feet: "If you dare to tell Qin Jian about this, I will also tell him that you called his name every day while you were in the Ice Seal, for a whole year!"

Shui Bing'er did not change her expression, still smiling faintly: "If you want to say it, then say it. Anyway, I'm not as stubborn as you, letting him know is fine."

Huo Wu: "......"

"Besides, our next Assessment cannot do without him, do you still want to be reserved?" Shui Bing'er added.

Huo Wu's red lips pouted: "It's not like it has to be him..."

"It just has to be him..."

Shui Bing'er waved her hand to interrupt: "Except for him, I will not let any man touch me."

Huo Wu turned her face away and said nothing.

"Huo Wu, it's been so many years, you still can't let him go, why be like this again?"

Shui Bing'er suddenly reached out and touched Huo Wu's cheek, saying earnestly: "Qin Jian will not look down on you."

Huo Wu lowered her head in silence, and only after a long time did she say: "But I'm afraid... afraid that I look down on myself..."

She slowly raised her head and said: "Bing'er, you are also a very proud person. Your talent is even higher than mine. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get the qualifications for this Assessment at all. Someone as excellent as you... why are you still willing to be entangled with him?"

Shui Bing'er blinked her beautiful eyes: "Because... he is irreplaceable."

"Irreplaceable?"

Huo Wu said helplessly: "Is there really no other excellent man in this world?"

"No... he is not irreplaceable to everyone..."

Shui Bing'er's gaze contained a look of longing: "He is only... irreplaceable to me..."

"To you..."

Huo Wu trembled all over, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused: "Then what about to me... is he replaceable..."

"Is he?"

Shui Bing'er smiled lightly: "With such arduous tasks, such painful cultivation, and countless life-and-death trials, when have you ever called anyone else's name? Which time did you not charge forward while shouting Qin Jian's name?"

"But I was calling him the big bastard Qin Jian!"

Huo Wu's face turned red again.

"Yes, you also called him..."

Shui Bing'er mimicked her voice and said: "Qin Jian, you big pig's trotter! Qin Jian, I hate you! Qin Jian, you just wait! And also..."

She paused suddenly, then said softly: "Qin Jian... I miss you... Qin Jian... I like you so much... Qin Jian... I want to see you one more time..."

When Huo Wu heard this, her eyes turned red: "Bing'er, you're no different. During those life-and-death crises, didn't you also persist by relying on the obsession of wanting to see him one more time?"

"Yes, so to us, he is irreplaceable..."

Shui Bing'er reached out to wipe the moisture from her eyes and said gently: "Alright, don't think about those desperate times. Now that we've finally come out, we should go find him happily and looking our best."

This time Huo Wu did not refute, but just nodded gently: "Mm, let's go find him together."

Although Huo Wu is older than Shui Bing'er, there is always a unique charm about Shui Bing'er that makes people willingly treat her as the older sister, and Huo Wu is no exception.

In these five years of companionship, the one who has actually been taken care of has always been her, Huo Wu...

Therefore, bickering is bickering, but if Shui Bing'er really says something, she will still listen.

"Are we going straight to Wuhun City to find him?" Huo Wu asked suddenly.

Shui Bing'er subconsciously wanted to nod, but her expression tightened: "According to what the Assessment said, after this round of the Assessment is passed, the next round will come very soon. We must return here again, and the time in between is very short. Therefore, we cannot go find him immediately. Let's see our families whom we haven't seen in these five years, finish our business, and then go."

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu nodded and said: "You are still the thoughtful one. If we went straight to find him, we might not even have time to go home, and then who knows how many more years we would have to spend here."

"I remember you saying that you and Huo Wushuang were adopted by teachers from Blazing Academy, so you are going back to Liehuo Town?" Shui Bing'er asked.

Huo Wu nodded, a look of nostalgia appearing in her eyes: "I really don't know what the academy has become now, and are my brother and the others doing well?"

"It's only been five years, what kind of changes could the academy have?"

Shui Bing'er gave a soft laugh and said: "On the contrary, it's your soul power level; don't scare them."

"You're the same..."

Speaking of levels, Huo Wu was clearly much happier.

"Right, you still have a father, don't you?" she suddenly asked.

Shui Bing'er nodded gently: "If he knew my level, he would probably be happy enough to show it off everywhere, but unfortunately, that's not what I want..."

"That father of yours is really annoying," Huo Wu said, pouting.

"It doesn't matter..."

Shui Bing'er tilted her head up: "Qin Jian said that I cannot choose who my parents are, but breaking free from the influence of my original family is something I can do myself. Since I cannot sever the relationship, I will just treat him as a stranger and forget about the suppressive education he gave me during my childhood..."

"It was Qin Jian who let me know how outstanding I am and made me truly confident. The only family I have in my heart now is him... well, and you," Shui Bing'er said softly.

Huo Wu nodded vigorously: "Mm-hmm, we are each other's family too."

Shui Bing'er smiled: "Huo Wu, my home is in Tianshui City. I will go back to Tianshui Academy at that time, and after that, I will go find you, and then we will go to Qin Jian together."

"Okay."

Having agreed, the two once again walked side by side on the road back...
