Ice Source is a being formed from the ultimate state of ice, full of vitality. Absorbing it grants the power to control ice and snow, but only if the absorber is an Ice Clan member.
No one knows what will happen to humans after they absorb the ice source, or whether they will be able to take that vibrant life force for themselves.
Xing Yucheng knew a little about it; the information provider was the card system.
[Humans absorbing ice sources have two possible outcomes: assimilation or rejection.]
Sensing the host's low spirits, the system provided a detailed explanation: [Assimilation means that the host's body is assimilated into the ice source, and in terms of spirit, the strong devour the weak, after which they become indistinguishable; rejection means that the object and its container are incompatible, either the object is damaged or the container is broken.]
What happens if it breaks?
The system paused for a moment, then replied, "[The ice bed beneath Lian Han's body has remarkable effects. Her body is already riddled with holes; with the ice bed protecting her, it can't get much worse.]"
[Then what if it assimilates into the ice source?]
[Then she's saved. But she will transcend the realm of humanity.]
Xing Yucheng frowned but didn't say anything more. It's always good to be alive.
As for the spiritual struggle between Lian Han and Bing Yuan, there is no need to worry at all. If Bing Yuan had not been mentally deficient, he would not have been absorbed by the Ice Clan.
However—Xing Yucheng looked at Bingyue, who was injecting the ice source into Lian Han's body, his gaze icy, [You meant she would come to me back then, didn't you?]
The system answered truthfully, "[Yes. If she hadn't gone to find the host then, you would have been beyond saving.]"
Xing Yucheng remained silent. So the sacrifices had already begun at that time.
Finally, the icy blue crystal was successfully injected into Lian Han's body. Bingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Xing Yucheng, "Master, come and take a look."
Shen Xinya frowned, but remembering that she was a mecha pilot and not an expert in healing, she didn't interrupt.
Xing Yucheng probed Lian Han's body with his spiritual power, and the system immediately provided the answer: [Assimilation. But at this pace, it might take a year and a half.]
Xing Yucheng frowned. His disappearance was not a big deal, but Lian Han had been missing for a year and a half. The Ling family, Ning Jue, and her friends were probably getting restless.
Seeing him frown, Bingyue scratched her head. "If all else fails, just make them into cards. Me, Sisi, and all those other guys survived this way, didn't we?"
"Who should be made into a card?"
"It's just..." Bingyue's expression changed as she looked at the suddenly appearing dark figure. "Who are you? How did you get here?"
The newcomer drew everyone's attention, but Xing Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him. "Xuyao, come here."
Xu Yao stepped forward, frowning as he looked at the person on the ice bed. "What's wrong with Master?"
"You try to sense it."
Xu Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "The aura is getting stronger little by little, very slowly. But it's much better than what I sensed yesterday."
Xing Yucheng nodded and looked at Shen Xinya, "Let me introduce you. This is Xu Yao, Xiao Han's character card. He's similar to the others. He probably sensed that something had happened to Xiao Han and that's why he came looking for her."
"Wow! A fellow human?" Bingyue looked at Xuyao in surprise. "I didn't realize that. Master, can you pass on this ability to others?"
"Quiet down." Xing Yucheng gave her a cold look. "Her health is indeed improving, but the process is quite slow, and we don't know when she'll wake up. But the Federation—if she suddenly disappears, the Ling family will probably worry. What do you think about leaving one person with her and having the other go to the Federation to handle these matters?"
"You go. I can't leave," Shen Xinya said, looking at the sleeping girl.
Bingyue chimed in, "Yes, if she leaves, the Ice Clan will be in big trouble. She can't leave without Xiye."
"Understood." Xing Yucheng frowned and looked at Shen Xinya. "I need to get something to contact Xiaohan's friend. It should be in her smart device."
Shen Xinya nodded.
Xing Yucheng opened Lian Han's smart device, first using fingerprint authentication, then skillfully entering the password, and quickly pulled out a stack of communication cards. He then took out a few and handed them to Shen Xinya, saying, "You can contact me by injecting your mental energy, but once you start using each card, it will only be valid for six months."
"She made this?"
"yes."
"Thanks."
"No. I should be the one saying sorry. She is a very, very good child."
"Unfortunately, I'm not a good mother," Shen Xinya sighed softly.
“Take good care of her. This child is easily moved to tears.” Xing Yucheng finished speaking and looked at the remaining people in the room. “Xuyao, stay and guard your master. Sisi, what about you? Are you coming with me?”
Yi Sisi smiled gently, "Master, my abilities lean towards healing, so I'll stay and help take care of the little master."
"Xiaoyue, I'm entrusting Sisi to you." Xing Yucheng did not express any objection. Back then, he took Sisi away because she had a family feud that she had not yet avenged. Now that her grudges have long been settled, there is no need for him to break up couples again.
Bingyue was overjoyed. "I will definitely take good care of her. My little master will be fine too. If necessary, I'll go to Ice Cliff again."
"You said it yourself."
"You're leaving now?" Shen Xinya looked at Xing Yucheng in surprise.
"Hmm. Nobody knows what Bingyuan will do to this girl. I'll think of something else. Contact me if you need anything."
“Okay.” Shen Xinya nodded, then added, “Please pass on some messages for me.”
...
When Jingli learned that her teacher had returned, he was already sitting in her villa, calmly drinking tea.
"Teacher, are you alright? Who healed you?" Jingli asked with delight, sensing his powerful aura.
"Have a seat first." Xing Yucheng glanced at him. "I have an appointment with someone."
Jingli suppressed her joy and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Junior Sister? Wasn't she always with you?"
Xing Yucheng remained silent.
The teacher was rarely so silent. Jingli immediately realized something was wrong, her smile faded, and she waited quietly for the person he had invited to arrive.
They didn't have to wait long; the doorbell rang soon after.
Seeing that his teacher had no intention of getting up, Jingli went out to greet the person, but the person who came was beyond his expectations.
"It's you?"
Ning Jue smiled. "Xiao Han asked me to come over."
Although they had maintained contact, it was rare for the little girl to think of him, and since he happened to be in the capital, he naturally came over immediately.
Junior Sister? It's just him and his teacher in the villa right now. Jing Li glanced at him, her gaze strange. "Come in."
"Has she finally had enough fun this time?" Ning Jue asked.
"You should ask him yourself."
In the living room, Ning Jue's gaze passed over Xing Yucheng, and she raised an eyebrow, "Where is she?"
"Come and sit down. She's not here."
Not here? Ning Jue frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Because I used Xiaohan's messaging card to invite you. Come and sit down."
"You used her communication card?" Isn't a communication card only for the person using it?
"General Ning, please sit down." Seeing him sit down, Jing Li said, "Others may not have this ability, but the communication card is his own creation, so of course he can."
The message card clearly belonged to his older brother—Ning Jue suddenly looked at Xing Yucheng, her gaze sharp, "Who exactly are you?"
