#79 - Iceberg beauty also has tender moments

Qin Changqing's gaze fell on the little girl behind him, a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he smiled and said, "So young and already about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? As expected of the Ice Crystal Fairy Body, comparable to a celestial spiritual root, truly gifted!"

Yu Xianxue hid timidly behind Yu Bingbing, whispering, "Mother, who is he?"

Yu Bingbing quickly pulled her daughter closer, apologetically saying, "Alliance Master, please forgive her. This child is ignorant. Xue'er, this is an extraordinary senior. Hurry and pay your respects!"

Yu Xianxue tugged at Yu Bingbing's skirt, her big eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of fear, as she timidly said, "Xue'er pays respects to Senior!"

Qin Changqing sighed inwardly. He had only seen this child once since she was born, the last time he came to deliver the Evergreen Pendant, but she was sleeping then and they didn't meet.

"Even in the entire cultivation world, a Human Immortal Body is considered an extremely high talent. This child is intelligent and perceptive. I intend to take her as my disciple. I wonder what Palace Master Yu thinks?"

Qin Changqing said with a faint smile.

Yu Bingbing's eyes lit up instantly, her heart pounding with excitement and joy.

This senior before her was unfathomable and incredibly powerful. Even the Transformation God Heavenly Lords of various sects couldn't see through his strength. If her daughter could become his disciple, it would be an immense opportunity!

Even if he didn't have time to guide her cultivation, this relationship would provide protection. In the future, the Ice Snow Palace's position among the fourteen sects of the Evergreen Alliance would undoubtedly be extraordinary!

"Xue'er, quickly pay your respects to your master!" Yu Bingbing quickly told her daughter.

Yu Xianxue looked up at her mother, somewhat bewildered, not quite understanding why she was suddenly so excited, but she obediently knelt down and kowtowed, "Xue'er pays respects to Master!"

Qin Changqing nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and with a flip of his hand, a small gourd appeared, which he handed over: "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. Consider this a gift for accepting you as a disciple."

Yu Xianxue took the gourd, and Yu Bingbing curiously scanned it with her divine sense, immediately shocked.

This gourd was a storage treasure, and it actually contained a pond-sized amount of spiritual liquid!

Moreover, the quality and concentration of this spiritual liquid were extremely high, far surpassing the few spiritual springs possessed by their Ice Snow Palace.

As the Palace Master of the Ice Snow Palace, she deeply understood the value of this spiritual liquid, and her reverence for this Alliance Master grew even greater.

Such a large amount of high-quality spiritual liquid, even the entire Evergreen Alliance probably couldn't obtain it!

"Thank you, Alliance Master, for the treasure!" Yu Bingbing bowed respectfully again.

Qin Changqing waved his hand. This spiritual liquid was for his daughter's use, and he didn't begrudge it. He said lightly, "I still have matters to attend to. Xue'er, cultivate diligently. Although your talent is good, you mustn't be too lazy!"

"Yes, Master!" Yu Xianxue replied sweetly, hugging the treasure gourd.

"Alliance Master, please wait!" Seeing Qin Changqing preparing to leave, Yu Bingbing quickly spoke.

"What is it?" Qin Changqing asked, somewhat surprised.

Yu Bingbing hesitated and said, "Alliance Master, I wonder… how is Qin Changqing now? Those people from the Demon Sect are inherently cruel and tyrannical. Will he be in danger there?"

Qin Changqing found it amusing. Was this Ice Beauty concerned about him? It was quite unexpected.

"Don't worry, with me here, those demon brats won't dare to act recklessly. He's doing well!" Qin Changqing said calmly.

Yu Bingbing hesitated, "Alliance Master, no matter what, Qin Changqing is Xue'er's father after all. Xue'er hasn't seen him since she was born. Recently, she's been asking me where her father went… Could the Alliance Master allow them to meet?"

Qin Changqing raised an eyebrow, glanced at Yu Bingbing's slightly flushed cheeks, and already guessed some of her thoughts, but he didn't expose them. He pondered, "Alright, Xue'er is already my disciple, so I'll make an exception. I'll bring Changqing over tonight, but you mustn't reveal this to others."

Yu Bingbing was overjoyed and quickly said, "Alliance Master, rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret!"

Qin Changqing's figure vanished.

The moonlight was bright and the starry river filled the sky.

Qin Changqing's figure reappeared by the ice lake. There was an ice house here, temporarily built by Yu Bingbing using her divine powers, and specially shrouded in formations to welcome Qin Changqing's arrival.

"I heard from the Alliance Master that you were looking for me." Qin Changqing smiled slightly.

Yu Bingbing's expression was somewhat unnatural, and she said calmly, "My daughter misses you. Xue'er, come out quickly."

A petite figure ran out of the side room, holding the treasure gourd in her arms, a trace of spiritual liquid remaining at the corner of her mouth. She blinked her big eyes, looking at Qin Changqing, and asked in confusion, "Mother, who is he again?"

Yu Bingbing squatted down, pointed at Qin Changqing, and said, "Xue'er, haven't you been asking every day where your father went? He is your father."

Qin Changqing also squatted down, and said softly, "Xue'er, come to Daddy."

Yu Xianxue stared at the strange man in front of her, looking like she wanted to go over but didn't dare to, clutching Yu Bingbing's clothes tightly, her eyes gradually turning red.

Yu Bingbing felt a little heartache looking at her, and gently pushed her: "Go ahead."

Only then did Yu Xianxue walk over hesitantly, raised her head, and asked in a delicate voice, "Are you really my daddy?"

Qin Changqing smiled and touched her head: "I'm sorry, it's Daddy's fault for not coming to see you for so long."

The little girl pouted, suddenly plunged into Qin Changqing's arms and burst into tears: "Daddy, where did you go? Why didn't you come to see Xue'er?"

Qin Changqing hugged his daughter, his heart also ached a little, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart. He gently patted Yu Xianxue's back and comforted her softly: "Xue'er be good, Daddy has been doing great things these years, just so that Xue'er and I will never be separated again in the future. You have to be obedient and listen to your mother, okay?"

Yu Bingbing's eyes were red, and she turned her back, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Qin Changqing's ability to coax children was beyond doubt. Before long, the little girl was amused and burst into laughter, recovering from her sad mood.

Qin Changqing took out a pile of novel toys from his storage ring, which he had specially prepared before coming, and Yu Xianxue immediately loved them.

The two played for a long time, and Yu Bingbing suddenly said, "Xue'er, it's getting late, you should go to sleep, you still need to cultivate tomorrow!"

Yu Xianxue grabbed Qin Changqing's hand and refused to let go, begging, "Mother, can I play for a while longer? Just for a while!"

It was the first time she had met her father, and she was reluctant to leave.

"No!" Yu Bingbing said with a stern face: "We made an agreement, we can't go back on it!"

Qin Changqing touched Yu Xianxue's head and smiled: "Xue'er be good, listen to your mother. Daddy will come to see you again in the future!"

"Okay then, you can't lie to me, let's make a pinky promise!"

After finally coaxing Yu Xianxue inside, Yu Bingbing turned and entered another side room: "Come with me."

Qin Changqing touched his nose and followed her in.
