Shihao, that lad, is different from his brother Shi Zhao. He’s always been lively and active, and after reaching adulthood, he loves nothing more than setting out to sea, especially enjoying activities in the Qingluo Sea~

However, Lady Bilian from the Longzuo Yuwen Family has always had significant opinions about Wang Shouzhe. Indeed, it’s quite true, since the Ancestor Fire Fox often stays at the Wang Family’s residence, only returning to the Yuwen Family when lacking resources to get a meal...

Given these circumstances, it would be odd if Lady Bilian had no opinions. Thus, she proposed an alliance between the two family’s direct lineages, strengthening the familial ties to prevent the Ancestor Fire Fox from being completely swayed away.

For this, Wang Shouzhe asked around among his children and grandchildren, but all his daughters expressed they currently didn’t want to get married. The only one of marriageable age was Wang Shihao, but he hadn’t had his fill of adventures and didn’t want to marry.

As a result, Lady Bilian directly claimed that either Wang Shihao marries the Yuwen Family’s direct daughter, or Wang Shouzhe marries her instead. Otherwise, the Yuwen Family would resolutely resist the Ancestor Fire Fox from benefiting from both families...

Marry Lady Bilian? Wang Shouzhe would never agree to such a thing unless he was out of his mind.

Very naturally, Wang Shouzhe arranged for Wang Shihao...

Although that lad Wang Shihao had quite a few complaints in private, as a noble family descendant, this is how it is. Being a direct lineage male, it’s difficult to have your own choices; when it’s time to get married, thinking of running away isn’t an option.

However, this is just a minor episode.

For Wang Shouzhe, he wouldn’t be reduced to interfering in his grandchildren’s or their spouses’ romantic lives, right? As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Around him are his little great-grandson Wang Anrui, his eldest great-grandson Wang Anye, and his young granddaughter Wang Yingxuan. However, Wang Anye is already nine years old, and Wang Yingxuan is also eight.

They have already had their talents tested, showing outstanding results, and have started cultivating their meridians. They also obediently attend the clan academy daily.

Perhaps Wang Shouzhe’s genes are too outstanding, as the children who inherit them have exceptional bloodlines, generally starting off as Middle Grade B Little Celestial Prides.

And quite a few children have directly reached Middle Grade A Little Celestial Pride level.

Under these circumstances, all it takes is an Infinite Treasure Pill or Wedding Robe Blood Gu to make them a respectable presence among Celestial Prides.

Although the eldest daughter Wang Liyao and the eldest son Wang Zong’an remain the most formidable, the Wang Family’s direct lineage children are mostly quite good.

Whether they can advance to the Great Celestial Pride bloodline depends on their own fortunes.

Even with the current financial and resource power of the Wang Family, coping with the enormous family expenses is already quite daunting. Not to mention, the difficulty in purchasing Infinite Treasure Pills is not minor, as they are exceedingly rare, only occasionally available at auctions.

Let alone producing Great Celestial Prides additionally... 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

And because the children’s bloodlines are so high, marrying a wife is easier, as marrying can include lower compatible levels, compared to having to marry Celestial Prides.

But for the three daughters and two marriageable granddaughters, there are challenges in terms of marriage.

There’s no need to mention Wang Liyao, as an elite among Great Celestial Prides, Celestial River True Man’s lifetime crystallization of efforts and immense hopes... even if she can’t compete for Saint Son in the future, she is destined to be a great figure standing above the world.

If Wang Shouzhe dares to let Liyao get married, Celestial River True Man would dare to dismantle the Wang Family in no time.

As for the second daughter Wang Liyue and third daughter Wang Lijue, although they don’t possess as sterling talents as their eldest sister Liyao, they are also a pair of Celestial Pride women. Where can they be married off?

In a typical Fifth-Grade Noble Family’s direct lineage, how many years does it take to produce a Celestial Pride?

Letting them marry Little Celestial Prides would be purely wasting them...

Moreover, girls at the Celestial Pride level are generally proud and ambitious, unless they have someone they fancy themselves. Otherwise, even Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t be able to force them to marry someone with lesser cultivation and bloodline.

Unfortunately, even among Fifth-Grade Noble Families, suitable Celestial Pride prospects of marriageable age are rare. Furthermore, even if there is a Celestial Pride prospect, impregnating a child in such a family, they would struggle to have the resources to simultaneously nurture two Purple Mansion Realm experts.

The selection within Fourth-Grade Noble Families is somewhat broader, but the only familiar one to Wang Shouzhe is the Zuoqiu Family...

As for Third-Grade Noble Families... the Wang Family simply cannot reach that high...

Moreover, the two marriageable granddaughters Wang Yingting and Wang Yingrong are in similar circumstances.

Hence, these few girls may as well stay single.

Generally speaking, Celestial Pride girls rarely find suitable marriage prospects in the early stages, and staying within the family counts as being quality talents.

Liu Ruolan marrying him, Wang Shouzhe, was purely a peculiar exception. She just wants to take it easy in this life, being someone who’s unwilling to even go to the Academy...

Wang Shouzhe, while pondering some matters, enjoys moments of jesting with his grandchildren, relishing the joy of having children and grandchildren surrounding him.

Accompanying each generation as they grow alongside, it also allows Wang Shouzhe to feel a sense of realism and fulfillment in life.

"Grandpa~" His eight-year-old granddaughter Wang Yingxuan, shaking Wang Shouzhe’s arm, said, "I don’t enjoy listening to stories about Zhu Bajie; those stories Dad told me before. Dad said what he envies most is Aunt Lici and Aunt Liyao going out into the world~~ achieving their dreams. Grandpa, will it be okay for me to go to the Academy when I grow up?"

This girl is the eldest daughter of Wang Shouzhe’s second son Wang Zongrui, with her maternal family being the newly risen Purple Mansion Family Liaoyuan Fang Family. After having two sons consecutively, Wang Zongrui and his wife naturally dote tremendously on Wang Yingxuan.
