Chapter 460: Is This What Fusion Means?

"Not necessarily impossible to obtain?"

Hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Huo Wu resisted and secretly opened one eye to steal a glance at her.

Who would have thought that Shui Bing'er was just like someone waiting for her, meeting her gaze perfectly, and then blinking gently, as if hinting at something.

Huo Wu glared back at her indignantly, but for some reason, she didn't say anything and closed her eyes again, while quietly pricking up her ears...

"Jianjian, these past five years, I don't know how others have spent them, like Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, I don't know what will become of them..."

Shui Bing'er's Ice Jade-like hand rested on Qin Jian's profile, sliding across it bit by bit, bringing a trace of coolness: "But at least Huo Wu and I haven't changed our hearts; even as time passes, our feelings for you have grown more mellow, so we will not leave you... even if..."

She gave a low laugh: "Even if it requires the two of us together."

"Huo Wu, don't you agree?"

She suddenly reached out and poked Huo Wu's cheek.

"Of course... not!"

Huo Wu opened her eyes and instinctively wanted to look up, but unfortunately, being in bed, looking up had no meaning: "I don't want to share the big pig's trotter with you!"

Shui Bing'er laughed again, looked back at Qin Jian and said: "Look, Huo Wu has agreed."

"When did I agree?"

Huo Wu immediately said anxiously: "Do you have some misunderstanding about my words?"

"I don't have any misunderstanding, don't you think Huo Wu's words are meant to be heard in reverse?"

Shui Bing'er looked at her innocently: "If you were truly unwilling, you would definitely speak earnestly; being this tsundere now, isn't it just a way of saying you are unwilling on your lips but in your heart you fully agree?"

Huo Wu was stunned.

"You, you, you! You woman! Too much! Ow!"

Completely dissected, Huo Wu only felt her cheeks burning, and in the end, she could only close her eyes in anger, out of sight, out of mind.

But she actually hadn't thought about flipping the table, hadn't thought about leaving here directly.

Shui Bing'er blinked her icy eyes at Qin Jian again, the meaning very clear.

"Thank you... both of you."

Qin Jian said in a low voice, pulling the cold and fiery delicate bodies closer, his heart also gradually becoming peaceful.

If in the Shrek trio of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong was the harmonizer, then in the ice and fire duo, Shui Bing'er played that role.

In the future, there will be the Spirit Hall trio, their relationships will be even more complex, and I don't know how that will go...

Finally, there is also Na'er, who is determined to chop all his women to death...

The road is long and the burden is heavy...

Regardless, Qin Jian still chose to enjoy the beauty of the present, quietly holding the two of them, cherishing the rare harmonious atmosphere.

Future matters can be discussed in the future.

"Buzz buzz!"

But not long after, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er suddenly opened their eyes at the same time, and then both sat up together.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jian also got up.

Huo Wu touched her brow and said: "Just now there was a prompt telling me that this round of Assessment has been passed."

"Strange..."

Shui Bing'er knitted her willow brows tightly: "Clearly the Fusion had already succeeded for quite a while, there was no prompt at that time, how could it give a prompt at this moment?"

"Maybe there's a delay?" Huo Wu said.

Shui Bing'er didn't think so: "In the past, our Assessment prompts were always very timely, so having a prompt now means the Assessment considers that only at this moment have we completed the Assessment..."

"But we didn't do anything at this moment, except..."

She suddenly looked at Qin Jian, a clear look of worry appearing in her brows and eyes: "Except that we reached a consensus, willing to accept each other to be with Jianjian together... Could this be the requirement of the Assessment, that Water and Fire Fusion... would actually be this... meaning?"

Qin Jian and Huo Wu's expressions both became strange at the same time.

"Don't tell me your Assessment is actually helping me."

Qin Jian folded his arms.

Even he himself didn't believe what he just said.

But he thought again about how he was actually able to break the restrictions and make contact with them, could it really be...

"Looking at it now... it seems that is indeed the case..."

Shui Bing'er's expression was also a bit odd: "We both discovered before that no one else could intervene in this Assessment, only you, Jianjian, had a way to fuse the Water and Fire Essence, so that person must be you..."

"Na'er, what do you think?" Qin Jian asked in his heart.

"What is there to think about? With such little information, neither of us can judge anything; let's take it one step at a time."

He seemed to see Na'er rolling her eyes...

"Buzz buzz..."

At this moment, red and blue light flickered rapidly on the foreheads of Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er respectively.

"What now?"

Qin Jian felt a bit nervous involuntarily, because Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's expressions suddenly collapsed, becoming unsightly.

A moment later, the flickering of the light began to stop, and the two of them looked at Qin Jian together, their eyes filled with reluctance.

Qin Jian immediately reacted: "The Assessment is calling you back?"

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu nodded in unison.

"This is our only chance to come out halfway, the next time... will be at Title Douluo..." Shui Bing'er said softly.

"Title Douluo..."

Qin Jian was slightly distracted.

He knew that even with a God Trial, it would take several years to reach Title Douluo.

"We... we have to be separated for many more years again..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly covered her mouth, tears shimmering in her icy eyes.

Huo Wu was more direct; she hugged Qin Jian tightly once more, holding on for dear life, unwilling to let go for even a moment.

Qin Jian held Huo Wu, lowered his head, and asked, "Then... how much more time do you have?"

Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment before saying softly, "Excluding the time on the road, we can stay for... at most one more day."

"One day..."

Qin Jian's whole body trembled.

An indescribable gloom pressed down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

If this water-fire Fusion Assessment was meant to help him, then what was the purpose of such urgent pressure for them to leave now?

"This Assessment of yours... can it not be resisted or delayed?" Qin Jian suddenly asked.

Huo Wu raised her head from his embrace: "It's not that we absolutely must continue this Assessment, it's just that..."

"It's just that we know you will face danger in the future, so we must proceed, because only in this way can we have the strength to stand by your side," Shui Bing'er continued.

Qin Jian opened his mouth.

He wanted to say that he didn't need their help, that he only wanted them to stay by his side.

This was an emotional line of thought.

But reason stopped him from saying so, because he understood that the current separation was for a better reunion; staying by his side might not necessarily offer such good opportunities for them to grow as quickly.

In the end, he could not only think of himself; he also had to consider the two of them. It was impossible to affect their future achievements just for the sake of temporary pleasure.

"Then..."

He took a deep breath and tried hard to force a difficult smile: "Let us spend this day well..."

"Jianjian, will you blame us? Blame us for not staying by your side?"

"Qin Jian, will you forget us?"

The two women's worries made Qin Jian smile, and then he shook his head firmly: "How could I? I could never blame you, and I certainly won't forget you, I am certain of it."
