Gu Wuchen sighed helplessly.
He originally thought it would just be a simple announcement of the Holy Son's position, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
However, he also knew that Bo Saixi genuinely cared for him.
Qian Daoliu looked at the two of them and nodded in satisfaction:
"Alright, that's settled then. The Holy Son succession ceremony will be held in three days, and the news will be announced to the entire continent. As for Wuchen's Dual Godhood, we'll keep that to ourselves."
The Dual Godhood —let's leave that aside for now.
Afterwards, Gu Wuchen returned to his room to rest, while Bo Saixi stayed in the Elder Hall to discuss matters with Qian Daoliu.
Upon returning to her palace, the Snow Empress immediately appeared.
" Little Wuchen, you are not allowed to be with that bad woman."
"That wicked woman, she's obviously no good person, and she's so harsh on you."
Hearing Snow Empress's complaints, Gu Wuchen smiled helplessly, " Sister Xue, it's not what you think. Besides, I can't do anything about what Auntie did. She's my aunt, and she was entrusted by my mother."
There's nothing I can do; with that buff, I'm completely helpless.
"Waaah, I don't care, I just hate her."
Snow Empress stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushed with anger.
"What auntie! She just wants to monopolize you! No way, I'm going to find a chance to beat her up and show her what I, Sister Xue, am capable of!"
" Sister Xue, don't be impulsive." Gu Wuchen quickly pulled her back.
" Bo Saixi is Peerless Douluo. If you two really fight, it will only damage your relationship. Besides, she really is only here to take care of me at my mother's request. She has no other intentions. Let things take their course. In addition, she doesn't know that you are in my Sea of Consciousness."
Snow Empress pouted and reluctantly snorted:
"Okay, okay, we'll let her off this time. But if she dares to lay a hand on you, Bing'er and I will definitely not let her get away with it."
Gu Wuchen smiled helplessly:
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
The two were chatting happily when a clear knock suddenly sounded at the door of the bedroom.
Is Young Master Gu here?
Gu Wuchen recognized the voice instantly.
"It's Sister Yuan'er!"
Snow Empress rolled her eyes, transformed into a stream of light, and re-entered Gu Wuchen's brow.
Gu Wuchen strode to the door and flung it open.
Standing outside the door was a woman with a full figure and gentle eyes; it was Ye Yuan'er.
" Sister Yuan'er, it's been a long time!" Gu Wuchen exclaimed with delight.
"Young Master!" Ye Yuan'er's eyes lit up the moment she saw him. She couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward to hug Gu Wuchen tightly. "I missed you so much! I haven't heard from you for so long, and I've been worried about you every day."
The soft embrace carried a faint floral fragrance. Gu Wuchen stiffened slightly, then gently patted her back.
A moment later, Ye Yuan'er realized she had been too excited, and quickly let go of his hand, taking a step back.
Her cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes. "I'm sorry, young master, I... I was so happy, I completely forgot my limits."
"It's alright, Sister Yuan'er." Gu Wuchen smiled. " Sister Yuan'er, how have you been lately?"
Ye Yuan'er nodded. "Thanks to the young master, my cultivation has accelerated considerably since my Martial Soul changed."
"That's good."
As long as I can help Ye Yuan'er, that's enough.
"By the way, I heard that the Great Enshrined are going to make the young master their Holy Son. Is that true?"
It's true.
"And I'm already Soul Emperor."
Gu Wuchen added with a smile.
" Soul Emperor?!" Ye Yuan'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open. "Young Master, how old are you? You're already a Soul Emperor! That's amazing!"
"That's not all." Gu Wuchen looked around and lowered his voice, "I also inherited the Godhood of both the Sea God and the Ice God, making me Dual Godhood Inheritance Inheritor. Only the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall know this right now, so don't tell anyone else."
"Dual... Dual Godhood?"
Ye Yuan'er froze on the spot, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
She stared blankly at Gu Wuchen, her mind completely blank.
She knew what Godhood meant; it was a height that countless Soul Master could never reach, even after a lifetime of effort.
One Godhood is already an immense opportunity, let alone two!
I've never even heard of anyone being able to inherit two Godhood at the same time, let alone seen one.
Seeing her stunned expression, Gu Wuchen couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of her eyes:
" Sister Yuan'er? Snap out of it."
It took Ye Yuan'er a long time to come to her senses.
She quickly took a step back and bowed deeply to Gu Wuchen, her voice trembling slightly.
"Young Master... no, I should call you His Highness the Holy Son, congratulations His Highness the Holy Son! This is truly a joyous occasion!"
Gu Wuchen quickly reached out to support her, and smiled helplessly:
"Why are you putting on this act with me? Just call me Young Master in private. Calling me Your Highness the His Highness the Holy Son too formal."
Ye Yuan'er looked up at Gu Wuchen's gentle smile, and her cheeks flushed again.
She nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with admiration and excitement:
"Yes! I knew the young master was the best! I will definitely serve the young master well from now on and never let anyone bully you."
As she spoke, she picked up the food box in her hand and handed it to Gu Wuchen:
"I knew the young master was coming back today, so I specially made your favorite osmanthus cake. It tastes just like before. Try it."
It was made on purpose; my skills shouldn't have deteriorated.
Gu Wuchen took the food box, opened the lid, and inside were neatly arranged pieces of crystal-clear osmanthus cake, still emitting a faint steam, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus wafted out.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was soft, sweet, and melted in his mouth—the same familiar taste.
"Very good, Sister Yuan'er's cooking skills haven't declined at all."
Ye Yuan'er smiled, her eyes crinkling:
"If you're happy, young master, I won't disturb your rest any longer. Just call me anytime if you need anything."
She gently closed the door and left with light steps.
Gu Wuchen took the food box, walked to the table, sat down, and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake to eat slowly.
As soon as the door closed, a beam of white light shot out from between his eyebrows, and the figures of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress landed opposite him.
Snow Empress curiously approached the food box and twitched her nose.
"It smells quite good." Snow Empress reached out and picked up a piece, took a small bite, and her eyes lit up slightly. "Not bad, Ye Yuan'er's cooking is pretty good, much better than Bo Saixi's seafood soup."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ice Empress also came out, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, tasted it, and nodded:
"It's really good, sweet but not cloying."
Snow Empress picked up another piece and stuffed it into her mouth:
"Much better than that high priest who only knows how to make soup."
As she ate, she pulled the food box closer to herself, as if afraid that Ice Empress would snatch it all away.
Gu Wuchen watched the two of them wolfing down their food.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. If it's not enough, I'll ask Sister Yuan'er to make more tomorrow."
