Shuǐ Bīng'er officially began the Ice God's Nine Trials. She found herself engulfed in an illusion, surrounded by a world of frigid ice and snow.
It was Ice God Island.
A grand wedding was taking place.
"Where am I?" Shuǐ Bīng'er, her mind clouded by confusion, quickly accepted the memory that she was marrying Shuǐ Wúyá.
"Wow! The bride is so beautiful!" Huǒ Wǔ teased from the back of the crowd, laughing.
Shuǐ Bīng'er, still dazed, smiled and, urged by the crowd, went through the ceremonial steps.
Finally.
In a romantic ceremony, the couple raised their cups, vowing to stay together for life.
However, just as they were about to drink, a dazzling figure suddenly appeared before them.
It was the cold and noble Qiān Rènxuě.
Qiān Rènxuě's arrival filled Shuǐ Bīng'er with an ominous feeling.
On this joyous day, what was she doing here?
Qiān Rènxuě approached Shuǐ Bīng'er and Shuǐ Wúyá, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light. She sneered, "Shuǐ Wúyá, there's no need to deceive her anymore. The one you truly love is me."
Shuǐ Bīng'er's heart was struck as if by lightning.
"Wúyá, what is this?"
She looked at Shuǐ Wúyá in disbelief, hoping for an explanation.
However, Shuǐ Wúyá only stared at her coldly, his face devoid of any emotion.
This tore at Shuǐ Bīng'er's heart.
Unable to hold back, Shuǐ Bīng'er shouted, "Impossible! When did you two start seeing each other?"
Seeing this, the headmaster of the TIanshui Academy and the others stepped forward.
The headmaster dismissively advised, "Shuǐ Bīng'er, what's so impossible about it? Shuǐ Wúyá is a favored son of the heavens with vast abilities. Did you think you could keep him all to yourself?"
The others chimed in, "Exactly! You were already fortunate to have his favor. Your ancestors must be smiling down on you!"
"Do you really think the clan leader would marry only you?"
"Get real! There are plenty of women eager to marry into his family!"
Shuǐ Bīng'er's heart was utterly shattered.
Unable to accept what was happening, tears began to stream down her face.
She cried out, "Wúyá, how could you treat me like this? I thought our love was real!"
Shuǐ Wúyá remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard her pleas.
Then, Qiān Rènxuě embraced Shuǐ Wúyá, the two of them sharing an intimate and tender moment.
"Shuǐ Wúyá, do you love me?" Qiān Rènxuě asked softly, her eyes filled with a seductive glow.
Shuǐ Wúyá smiled faintly, answering without hesitation, "I love you, Qiān Rènxuě. Not only do I love you, but I also want to marry you."
"And as for her, well, this old hag, I'm already tired of her."
Shuǐ Wúyá added coldly, "But out of respect for our past, she can stay on as a servant."
Upon hearing this, Shuǐ Bīng'er's heart was mercilessly torn apart, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
Immediately, Qiān Rènxuě and Shuǐ Wúyá turned their gaze sharply toward Shuǐ Bīng'er.
They burst into laughter, their voices filled with mockery and scorn.
The crowd quickly joined in, their words laced with ridicule and schadenfreude.
"Wake up! You were never worthy of the clan leader."
"Bīng'er, I'm sorry, but I was just using you. Now that I've achieved my goal, it's best we part ways."
These words pierced Shuǐ Bīng'er's heart like swords. She was on the verge of collapse, barely able to endure it.
It felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss of darkness, unable to find any way out.
However, as Shuǐ Bīng'er recalled the countless memories she had shared with Shuǐ Wúyá, she hesitated.
Gradually, she calmed down.
Her gaze became resolute once more as she looked directly at the people in the illusion, sneering, "Hmph, this is all fake. I don't believe it!"
"Shuǐ Wúyá might have other women, but he would never treat me like this. And besides, Shuǐ Wúyá, have you forgotten? I'm your ancestor!"
Shuǐ Wúyá paused slightly, then responded coldly, "I'm fake? You're just a delusional woman who can't accept reality and is trying to escape."
Enraged, Shuǐ Bīng'er punched Shuǐ Wúyá in the face, shouting angrily, "Escape my foot! Is this how you treat your ancestor?"
She continued to strike him, her voice filled with fury and indignation. "Who do you think you are, daring to impersonate my Wúyá?"
"Get lost! If I fail this divine trial, you're finished too!"
As she cursed and beat Shuǐ Wúyá, grabbing his head and slapping him back and forth, the guests around them fell into chaos.
Qiān Rènxuě was stunned, frozen in place.
Shuǐ Yuánchén, witnessing Shuǐ Bīng'er's outburst, hurriedly intervened. "Shuǐ Bīng'er, stop! Don't harm our clan leader!"
But Shuǐ Bīng'er was undaunted, glaring at Shuǐ Yuánchén with a cold sneer. "I'm your ancestor! How dare you try to control me?"
Shuǐ Wúyá knelt in terror, begging for mercy. "Bīng'er, please, don't hurt me!"
But seeing him grovel like this, Shuǐ Bīng'er's eyes showed no pity, only determination and coldness.
She knew that this man before her was definitely not the one she loved.
Without another word, Shuǐ Bīng'er landed a powerful punch, shattering Shuǐ Wúyá's figure.
As Shuǐ Wúyá vanished, so did the illusion.
At that moment, Shuǐ Bīng'er successfully passed the ninth divine trial.
Her soul power increased by two levels, and her affinity with the divine position reached 100%!
When Shuǐ Bīng'er awoke from the illusion, she felt a warm surge in her heart, overjoyed by her success.
Seeing Shuǐ Bīng'er pass the trial, Shuǐ Wúyá sighed in relief.
He smiled and approached her, speaking softly, "Congratulations, Bīng'er. You did wonderfully."
Seeing the real Shuǐ Wúyá, Shuǐ Bīng'er felt immense relief. She leaped into his arms without hesitation, nestling against him like a small bird, completely shedding the domineering ancestor persona she had just displayed.
"Thank you, Wúyá. I couldn't have made it this far without your support," Shuǐ Bīng'er said gently.
Shuǐ Wúyá stroked her hair and smiled, "This is the result of our combined efforts."
The two shared a tender moment.
Afterward, encouraged by Shuǐ Wúyá, Shuǐ Bīng'er began the process of merging with the divine position.
She closed her eyes, and her body emitted a holy radiance, gradually blending into the surrounding air.
The atmosphere around her grew heavy, forming a brilliant light curtain that enveloped her.
Her body trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Shuǐ Wúyá watched her closely, his heart filled with anticipation.
As Shuǐ Bīng'er concentrated deeply, her body began to rise slowly, and the surrounding light grew increasingly intense, like a dazzling star.
A mysterious force emerged, wrapping around her body and slowly merging into her being.
With a gentle sigh, the light around her reached its peak, then suddenly exploded outward.
A radiant beam shot from her body, piercing the sky and illuminating the heavens.
At that moment.
The entire continent sensed this immense power.
Countless powerful beings across the land seemed to be witnessing Shuǐ Bīng'er's transformation and ascension.
