Gu Wuchen looked distressed and said with a bitter expression:
"Mom, we can't do this. I still have the Sea God Trial to complete; I don't have the mind to think about these things."
Shen Suwei stood with her hands on her hips, completely unmoved by his advances.
"Stop talking nonsense. The Sea God Trial is your business, and continuing the family line is the Gu Clan's business. I don't care whether you want to or not. You are the only son of the Gu Clan, and leaving an heir for the Gu Clan is the most important thing."
" The Two Empresses of Ice and Snow have followed you for so long, and Ah Yin has always been by your side. Aren't they both good girls? Just pick one and get the marriage arranged quickly."
Gu Wuchen sighed helplessly, "Mom, I'll try my best."
"Not just try, definitely!" Shen Suwei glared at him, her tone leaving no room for argument. "Your father and I are getting old, and we're just hoping to have a grandson. If you dare to delay, I'll arrange your wedding right away next time you come back."
Gu Wuchen's lips twitched, but he didn't dare to refute again.
He thought to himself, "It seems I need to sort this out quickly, or my mom will really be pressuring me to get married next time I come back."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Suwei nodded in satisfaction.
"That's more like it. Alright, let's go out. Don't keep the guests waiting. It's Shui Bing'er's first time here, so let's treat her well."
After saying that, she patted Gu Wuchen on the shoulder and walked out of the side hall first.
Gu Wuchen stood there, rubbing his temples.
My mom's pressure to get married is even more terrifying than the eternal tides that Sea God tested in his Third Trial.
Shen Suwei walked out of the side hall and walked with a smile to the Two Empresses of Ice and Snow and Ah Yin.
"You three come with me. I'll show you around the Gu Clan mansion and give you a look at the ice garden in the backyard."
Before the three could react, she grabbed one of them and quickly walked out.
Gu Wuchen watched their retreating figures and shook his head helplessly.
He communicates with the Sea of Consciousness:
" Ice Dragon King, come out and lend a hand."
A cheerful female voice rang in his mind:
"Finally, I can get some fresh air! No problem, leave the training to me."
Gu Wuchen led Shui Bing'er out of the mansion and arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains outside Ice Arrival City.
With a flash of light, the Ice Dragon King appeared before the two.
She was dressed in an ice-blue outfit, her posture was upright, and a faint chill emanated from her.
Shui Bing'er was startled and instinctively took a step back.
Gu Wuchen said, "Don't be afraid, this is your coach. She will guide your cultivation for the next three days."
Shui Bing'er quickly bowed and said, "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Coach."
The Ice Dragon King waved his hand:
"Small problem, let's start with basic ice element control."
The Ice Dragon King casually cast an ice spell, demonstrating it once.
Shui Bing'er tried to learn, but she could never control her strength well; the ice picks either shattered or went astray.
She practiced until she was covered in sweat, but still couldn't get the hang of it.
Gu Wuchen stood aside, watched it once, and then raised his hand to cast an identical ice spell.
The icicle shot precisely at the distant rock, leaving a deep hole.
Shui Bing'er's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.
She hadn't expected Gu Wuchen to be so skilled in ice-type Soul Skill; he learned them after just one look.
Gu Wuchen noticed her confusion and said calmly:
"She's just an ordinary ice-type Soul Master. If you focus on your training, you'll definitely make great progress in three days."
For the next three days, Shui Bing'er studied with extra care.
The Ice Dragon King's guidance was precise and efficient, directly pointing out all her shortcomings in controlling the ice element.
Over the course of three days, Shui Bing'er's Soul Power did not increase, but her ability to use ice-type Soul Skill improved significantly.
Even the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is 30% stronger than before.
"Not bad, your comprehension is not bad." The Ice Dragon King clapped his hands, a satisfied look on his face.
"Thank you, Coach!" Shui Bing'er bowed deeply, her eyes filled with gratitude.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Fire Dragon King stomped his feet in anger.
"Why? Why can the Ice Dragon King go out and teach disciples while I have to stay here? I can teach fire-type Soul Skill too! Next time something like this happens, it has to be my turn!"
Gu Wuchen sighed and ignored his complaints.
Meanwhile, Shen Suwei took the Two Empresses of Ice and Snow and Ah Yin to visit the Gu Clan for three days.
That afternoon, the four of them sat in the ice pavilion in the backyard drinking tea.
Shen Suwei put down her teacup, looked at the three of them, and got straight to the point.
"I won't beat around the bush. I've seen you all following Chen'er for so long. I just want to ask, what do you think of my son?"
Ice Empress spoke first, without the slightest hint of shyness on their faces.
" Gu Wuchen is a good person, and he's good to us too. I'll follow him for the rest of my life."
She spoke frankly, her eyes firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Snow Empress nodded slightly, her voice still cold and clear.
"Yes, he's the one we've chosen. No matter what happens, we won't leave him."
Ah Yin's hand tightened suddenly on the teacup, causing the tea to slosh slightly.
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes obscuring the emotions in her eyes, her voice barely audible.
" Young Master Gu... he's a good person, it's just... I don't dare to think about it."
Shen Suwei raised an eyebrow. "Don't dare to think about it? Why?"
Ah Yin raised her head, her eyes filled with bitterness.
"I know my own identity. I am just a transformed Blue Silver Emperor, and... I have a child. I am not worthy of Young Master Gu."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and she buried her head even deeper.
How could someone like her dare to hope to be with Gu Wuchen?
Ice Empress frowned:
"What does it matter? We are also Soul Beast Transformation, and we are even older than you. Little Wuchen doesn't care, so why do you?"
"Exactly," Snow Empress chimed in, "Status has never been an issue."
Shen Suwei and reached out to pat Ah Yin's hand.
"Silly child, the Gu Clan has never cared about these things. Status, age, none of that matters. As long as you are truly good to Wuchen, his father and I will approve."
" Wuchen may seem cold, but he's actually soft-hearted. His companionship will help him go further."
Ah Yin suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
She never imagined that Shen Suwei would say such a thing.
The ice in my heart seems to have melted a little bit.
Just then, Gu Wuchen walked in with Shui Bing'er.
He raised an eyebrow, noticing the strange atmosphere in the ice pavilion.
What are you talking about?
The four of them snapped out of their daze at the same time, and none of them spoke.
Shen Suwei and stood up. "Nothing much, just some casual conversation. How's Shui Bing'er's training going?"
"Great progress," Gu Wuchen said. "We'll return to Heaven Dou City tomorrow."
Shen Suwei raised an eyebrow. "Okay, since you've decided, that's fine. We'll also be there for the competition, of course, during the finals."
She still longed to admire her son's wisdom and prowess.
They are all flesh and blood that fell from my own body; it would be a waste not to observe them properly.
Shui Bing'er felt she had grown significantly, and in the past three days, the Ice Dragon King had given her some very rare cultivation methods.
This made her feel that she could cultivate to a higher level.
Is this what makes Young Master Gu so remarkable?
That's amazing.
