"Auntie, don't be so impulsive next time. I know you're upset, but as your nephew, when have I not taken you around mainland China?"
When have I ever disobeyed you?
"If you keep doing that, I'll get angry."
Gu Wuchen launched into a lecture.
As Peerless Douluo Bo Saixi, Poseidon immediately softened, nodding repeatedly. "I understand, Chen'er, don't be angry, Auntie was wrong."
She did act impulsively; she just didn't want to see Snow Empress and Ice Empress, and perhaps there was a little bit of possessiveness in it.
As they were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Shen Suwei's voice came in first:
" Wuchen, we just stopped by to see you. How are things going with you and Saixi?"
As soon as the two entered, they saw Gu Wuchen sitting in a chair, looking at Bo Saixi with a serious expression, while the usually aloof High Priest of Sea God Island was bowing his head and nodding repeatedly like a child who had done something wrong.
Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei were both stunned, thinking they had misread it.
The two rubbed their eyes, and after confirming that the person in front of them was indeed Bo Saixi, their faces were filled with disbelief.
Gu Linchuan thought to himself: This is the first time I've seen Bo Saixi like this, and she's even being scolded by her own son?
Bo Saixi's face flushed instantly upon seeing the two of them.
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Her best friend had seen her behaving so obediently and apologetically just now—it was so embarrassing!
Shen Suwei walked over quickly and tugged at Gu Wuchen's arm:
" Wuchen, what are you doing? Saixi is your aunt, how can you talk to her like that?"
Bo Saixi quickly waved her hand, explaining on Gu Wuchen's behalf:
" Suwei, it's alright. It was really my fault. I had a few words with Snow Empress and the others just now, so it's only right that Wuchen said a few words to me."
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They had always thought Bo Saixi was the kind of person who would never back down, but they never expected her to take the initiative to admit her mistake and even speak up for Gu Wuchen.
Snow Empress thought to herself: So she can back down sometimes. I thought she was only good at arguing with us.
Shen Suwei looked at Bo Saixi, then at Gu Wuchen, her face blank.
She felt like she had missed something important, wondering how things had turned out like this after she went out.
Gu Wuchen sighed and briefly recounted how Snow Empress and Ice Empress had sensed his abnormal soul and rushed over, and how Bo Saixi and Snow Empress had almost gotten into a fight.
Shen Suwei suddenly realized what was going on and patted her chest. "So that's how it is. I thought you two had some big fight."
She paused, then looked at Gu Wuchen with a puzzled expression. "But why were you so serious just now? It was just a couple of arguments, why did you scold Saixi like that?"
Gu Wuchen shook his head and immediately changed the subject to something more important:
"That's not the reason. Just now, my consciousness was pulled to the Divine Realm, where I met the Sea God and the Asura God."
" The Divine Realm?" Gu Linchuan frowned, his heart skipping a beat.
"Hmm." Gu Wuchen nodded. " The Asura God has taken a liking to me and wants me to inherit his Godhood. I don't need to go through the tedious God Trial process. All I need to do is go to the Slaughter City, defeat the King of Slaughter there, and obtain the Asura Demon Sword."
The room fell silent instantly after he finished speaking.
" The Asura God Position?!" Bo Saixi suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
He inherited three Godhood at the same time.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were also stunned.
They knew Gu Wuchen was exceptionally talented, but they never expected that even the Asura God would take the initiative to come to them.
Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei turned pale.
They had certainly heard of the Slaughter City, the darkest and most chaotic place on the continent, where nine out of ten people who went in never came out.
Now that Gu Wuchen is going there and is going to defeat the legendary King of Slaughter, how could they not be worried?
Shen Suwei quickly grabbed Gu Wuchen's hand, her voice trembling slightly:
"No, it's too dangerous! How can we go to a place Slaughter City? We don't want the Asura God Position anymore, it's too dangerous."
"Mom, it's okay." Gu Wuchen squeezed her hand back, reassuring her, "I'm not going alone. Auntie, Sister Xue, and Sister Bing will all be with me. Besides, the King of Slaughter has been parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King for decades, so he's no longer at his peak. We're confident."
Snow Empress immediately nodded. " Madam Gu, don't worry, with us here, Xiao Chen's safety is our top priority."
Bo Saixi sighed and said, "Since the Asura God has said so, we have no choice but to go. But don't worry, with me here, I will make sure nothing happens to you."
Gu Linchuan remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, we won't stop you, but please be careful and prioritize safety above all else."
Gu Wuchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Once the Continent-Wide Soul Master Tournament is over, we'll head to the Slaughter City."
Gu Wuchen paused, then continued, "There's one more thing. The King of Slaughter was none other than Tang Chen from back then."
The room fell silent again after those words were spoken.
Bo Saixi's pupils contracted sharply, and she stood up abruptly. " Tang Chen?! He's still alive?"
She and Tang Chen were from the same era, Tang Chen's fame resounded throughout the entire continent back then.
She had always thought Tang Chen was long dead, but she never expected him to become the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City.
Gu Linchuan also gasped.
Tang Chen is a legend in the Soul Master World.
He couldn't believe that the legendary Clear Sky Douluo would be living in such a dark and gloomy place.
"He's not the same Tang Chen anymore." Gu Wuchen shook his head. "Back then, he went to the Slaughter City to find the inheritance of the Asura God, but he was parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King and lost his mind. For the past few decades, he has lived in agony. Killing him is a way of helping him find peace."
Gu Linchuan slowly sat down, his face full of sighs.
It's truly lamentable that such a brilliant talent met such an end.
"So what's his strength like now?" Gu Linchuan asked in a deep voice. This was what he was most concerned about. If Tang Chen still had the strength he had at his peak, then this trip would be too dangerous.
"Not even Demigod," Gu Wuchen said. "Having been parasitized for so many years, his body has long been hollowed out, and the Nine-Headed Bat King has been constantly draining his life force. He won't last much longer. The four of us working together are more than enough to deal with him."
"I also happen to be seeking the Divine Slaughter's Domain."
Taking care of the Divine Slaughter's Domain is also an important matter.
"Alright, Mom only hopes you'll be safe and sound. Now that you're carrying Dual Godhood, Mom can rest assured." Shen Suwei pinched Gu Wuchen's cheek, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Don't worry, Mom. Once I've sorted things out, I'll take you and Father to the Divine Realm," Gu Wuchen said with a smile.
Shen Suwei nodded. Of course, she was happy to go to the Divine Realm, but the safety of her child was more important than her own.
I just happened to be passing by and came back for a visit. It seems I know quite a bit about this.
But why does Saixi seem so engrossed in it?
