Upon entering the living room, Ice Empress looked him up and down.
"Compared to the palace where I live, this place feels much warmer."
Ice Empress sat down on the sofa and found it to be incredibly soft, much better than the ice bed.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how miserable my past life had been.
So the human world has developed to this extent?
Shen Suwei went to the kitchen and started working. While in the kitchen, he also curiously looked at Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
When I first saw the Snow Empress in the Far North, I only glanced at her a few times. But now, looking at her closely, she truly deserves the title of a cold and aloof beauty.
The Two Empresses of Ice and Snow have very different personalities.
" Sister Bing seems quite satisfied?"
Gu Wuchen poured two cups of Ice Lotus tea and placed them on the table.
"Very satisfied, much better than in the Far North."
Ice Empress smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of the Ice Lotus tea. The aroma was wonderful and refreshing.
Looking at Ice Empress's country bumpkin appearance, Snow Empress said, " Bing'er, I didn't realize you looked like a country girl who came to the city."
Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Snow Empress: " Xue'er, don't tease me like this."
Snow Empress shrugged. "I couldn't help it, so I had no choice."
At this moment, the gate of the Gu Clan's courtyard was pushed open again, and Gu Linchuan walked in carrying a package.
As soon as he entered, he saw Snow Empress and Ice Empress sitting in the living room. He stopped in his tracks and stood there, stunned, almost thinking he had entered the wrong room.
The two rulers of the Far North were actually sitting together in their own living room drinking tea—a scene he had never even dared to dream of.
Seeing this, Gu Wuchen quickly got up and went to greet him, introducing him with a smile:
"Dad, you're back. These two are Sister Snow Empress and Sister Ice Empress; they've come to visit."
He then turned to Snow Empress and Ice Empress and said, " Sister Bing, Sister Xue, this is my father, Gu Linchuan."
Snow Empress was the first to stand up, nodded slightly to Gu Linchuan, and greeted him with a smile, "Patriarch Gu Clan, we meet again."
Ice Empress also stood up. " Gu Clan, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Linchuan then came to his senses, nodded in response, and strode in.
After sitting down, he couldn't help but look at Gu Wuchen, his eyes filled with surprise.
He knew, of course, that his son had a relationship with Snow Empress, but he never expected that he could even invite Ice Empress to his home as a guest. This skill was far superior to his own as a father.
Gu Linchuan suppressed his surprise, smiled, and patted Gu Wuchen on the shoulder, discovering that his son had broken through to the Soul Elder.
"Not bad, he's even broken through to the Soul Elder. No one on the continent can do that at this age."
After offering a few words of praise, he changed the subject, a mischievous smile spreading across his face, and leaned closer to Gu Wuchen, whispering:
"But Wuchen, you've come back just in time. I happen to have something I need your help with."
Gu Wuchen's heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling creeping over him. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What disagreement?"
"Recently, there have been some disagreements regarding the cooperation between the Star Dou Empire and the Dai Family and Zhu Family families."
Gu Linchuan sighed, his tone full of helplessness, "To put it bluntly, it's because of the uneven distribution. The Dai Family and Zhu Family families feel that the quota for their new products is too small and doesn't match their royal status. They send people to the Gu Clan's headquarters every day to cause trouble, it's driving me crazy."
As he spoke, his mischievous grin deepened, and he patted Gu Wuchen's arm:
"If possible, you should handle this matter. You set the rules for this new product, and you managed the entire cooperation channels across the mainland. Your word carries far more weight than mine."
Gu Wuchen paused, then instantly realized what was happening.
So his own father was waiting for him here, clearly intending to dump this mess on him.
He sighed and rubbed his forehead, looking at Gu Linchuan's smug smile. He said irritably, "Dad, I just walked in the door, I haven't even warmed my seat yet, and you're already giving me work to do?"
In the Star Luo Empire, by this time, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have not yet arrived at the Shrek Academy.
Of course, he had his own way of handling things. Since the Star Luo Empire was doing this, then he shouldn't be surprised if he took tough measures.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
Seeing this, Gu Linchuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected of Wuchen, he truly puts Father at ease."
Shen Suwei came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. " Gu Linchuan, do you look like a father?"
"Aren't you ashamed?"
Having said that, Gu Linchuan had no choice but to agree. It was safest to leave such a matter to his son, and it wouldn't hurt for Gu Wuchen to go and take a look at Star Luo City.
Before long, Shen Suwei brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one. The steaming dishes filled the entire table, and the aroma instantly filled the whole living room.
Everyone took their seats in turn, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat.
Ice Empress picked up a bite of food and put it in her mouth. The delicious flavor spread on her tongue, and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but exclaim, " Madam Gu, your cooking is superb!"
Upon hearing Ice Empress's praise, Shen Suwei smiled and said gently, "It's good that Ice Empress likes to eat. Don't be shy, eat more. In the future, when Wuchen is out adventuring, he will need you and Snow Empress to take good care of him."
"Don't worry, Madam Gu, we'll take care of this."
Ice Empress immediately agreed, and without stopping, he picked up several more bites of food.
This is food I've never eaten in the Far North.
Snow Empress sat to the side, eating her meal in silence, glancing at Ice Empress from time to time. She felt a little uneasy, sensing that Ice Empress's visit today was not so simple.
The meal was quickly finished. Shen Suwei cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen, while Gu Linchuan took the account book to the study to handle official business.
Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance, then each pulled Gu Wuchen to one side and led him straight to his room.
The three entered the room, and as soon as the door closed, Ice Empress went straight to the bedside and sat down. Having eaten and drunk her fill, she leaned against the headboard, looked up at Snow Empress, and directly exposed the secret that Yuki had kept hidden for a long time.
" Xue'er, I should have guessed long ago that you entered the Wuchen Sea of Consciousness through the soul imprint."
Ice Empress gave a soft snort, a hint of displeasure in her voice, "That's why I'm going in too. You can't eat alone."
Snow Empress shrugged. "I know, you can hide forever, Bing'er will eventually find out."
"Alright, you can do it too," Snow Empress agreed.
" Xue'er, you didn't even bother to explain, you just admitted it like that?"
Ice Empress was dumbfounded, thinking that Snow Empress would explain something, but to their surprise, she didn't say a word.
"It's all been discovered, what's the point of explaining? Anyway, I've been quite content lately." Snow Empress chuckled.
Even if Ice Empress found out, she had already had Gu Wuchen all to herself for some time.
Gu Wuchen watched the two bickering and smiled helplessly, " Sister Xue, don't upset Sister Bing."
" Little Wuchen is still the best, Xue'er, you're so naughty." Ice Empress pouted.
" Bing'er, why are you acting like a little kid?"
