Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Pei Shuhua gazed into the depths of the universe, while Pei Tianlu stood in the void beside her. After a long while, Pei Shuhua finally spoke and asked, "Didn't our ancestor have any wishes to fulfill before the Great Calamity?"

Pei Tianlu thought for a moment and replied, "There is one."

Pei Shuhua asked, "What is it?"

Pei Tianlu said, "You are the most outstanding person among my descendants. As your ancestor, I naturally want to see you meet a good person and become your Daoist partner."

Pei Tianlu paused for a moment, then quickly added, "Of course, I know it's difficult. After all, ten thousand years is too short a time, and finding a suitable Daoist partner is not easy."

Pei Shuhua turned her head slightly and looked at Pei Tianlu with a suspicious gaze.

"Ancestor, could it be that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor instructed you to say these words?"

Pei Shuhua knew that Lu Chen and Pei Tianlu had a master-servant contract. When she heard about Daoist partners, Pei Shuhua immediately thought of Lu Chen.

The thought of Lu Chen's lecherous nature, coupled with Pei Tianlu's mention of a Daoist partner, inevitably made Pei Shuhua suspect that Pei Tianlu wanted her to marry Lu Chen and become his woman.

Pei Tianlu knew that Pei Shuhua had misunderstood, so he immediately said, "His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor did not ask me to tell you these things, and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor does not need me to say them. He is a very direct person. If he likes someone, he will take the initiative to tell that person."

"Moreover, as long as it is a Daoist partner who can bring you happiness, I, the Ancestor, will approve of it. It doesn't necessarily have to be His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Pei Shuhua still had a hint of doubt on her face; she still didn't quite believe her ancestor's words.

However, to be fair, although Lu Chen is a bit lecherous, apart from this flaw, he doesn't seem to have any other bad qualities.

Lu Chen treats his women very well, unlike some men who sleep with them and then neglect them.

only……

The thought of sharing a husband with so many women still made Pei Shuhua feel a little resistant.

Pei Shuhua then said, "If I find a suitable Daoist partner, I will tell the Ancestor."

Hearing Pei Shuhua's words, Pei Tianlu showed a relieved smile, and then said, "Ancestor, I was just saying. You don't need to just find someone to become your Daoist partner in order to complete the mission."

Pei Shuhua said, "I understand."

Pei Tianlu glanced at the star fields of the Crimson Moon Dynasty and said, "Alright, I'll go back now. If you want to manage the former star fields of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, just go and talk to the Heavenly Emperor. He will agree."

"Okay, take care, Ancestor."

As soon as Pei Shuhua finished speaking, Pei Tianlu's body transformed into a beam of starlight and left this star field.

After Pei Tianlu left, Pei Shuhua remained silent in the void for a long time. For some reason, Lu Chen's image reappeared in her mind.

She raised her slender fingers and rubbed her forehead, trying to stop herself from overthinking.

……

A month later.

Tianchen world.

Lu Chen's main body had already left Chu Yunzhi's room to perform official duties with his other wives and concubines. Chu Yunzhi also took this opportunity to come to Chu Yuqin's palace and see Chu Yuqin's child.

Chu Yuqin was, after all, Chu Yunzhi's alter ego, and Chu Yuqin's child was essentially Chu Yunzhi's child. When Chu Yuqin's child first saw Chu Yunzhi, he felt a great sense of kinship.

Inside the palace, Chu Yunzhi held Chu Yuqin's hand and sat on the soft couch, their buttocks pressing down on the couch slightly.

Chu Yuqin smiled and said, "Now you realize your mistake?"

Chu Yunzhi's lips curled up slightly. "I suddenly feel that without the mistakes I made back then, none of this would have happened today."

Although she felt that what she had done was somewhat absurd, she recently calmed down and thought about it.

If she hadn't taken revenge on Lu Chen and hadn't kept her clone by his side, wouldn't that mean her connection with Lu Chen was completely severed?

Lu Chen wouldn't come to save her either; her final fate would probably be to become the furnace of the Divine Martial Emperor.

Hearing Chu Yunzhi's words, Chu Yuqin said helplessly, "It seems you still haven't realized your mistake. If Lu Chen hears this, he'll suffer for the next year."

Chu Yunzhi said without changing her expression, "Let him come. I am now the Great Emperor, why should I be afraid of him?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll tell him not to go to your room for the next year."

Chu Yunzhi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You are my second body, how come you're helping Lu Chen instead?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Back then, you were the one who took the initiative to sever the karmic ties. Now, you and I can no longer be considered the same person."

Chu Yunzhi said, "Never mind, never mind, this is fine too."

At this point, Chu Yunzhi picked up the wine pot on the small table on the soft couch, poured herself a cup of wine, and then took a small sip.

After taking a sip of wine, Chu Yunzhi continued, "If this guy had realized things sooner, none of those things would have happened later."

When Chu Yunzhi spoke of "enlightenment," she was referring to Lu Chen's lecherous nature. If Lu Chen had been lecherous in his previous life, he would have probably already taken advantage of her, causing her to lose her spiritual body. In that case, the Divine Martial Emperor wouldn't have bothered with her.

Seeing that Chu Yunzhi had brought up Lu Chen's matter again, Chu Yuqin said, "Didn't you just say it was over? Why did you bring it up again?"

Chu Yunzhi paused for a moment and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel like there's a thorn in my heart."

Although it seems like she was taking revenge on Lu Chen, wasn't she also taking revenge on herself? She loved Lu Chen so much, but in the end, she did those things to the person she loved, which was an unforgivable thing for her.

Her path of protection is the path of love and affection, which is closely related to Lu Chen. Her revenge on Lu Chen is a violation of her own path, which naturally makes it difficult for her to let go.

Therefore, the more ruthless Lu Chen's revenge is, the happier she might feel, because it gives her a sense of atonement.

It was precisely because of this feeling of atonement that Chu Yunzhi was so excited when Lu Chen punished her, which made Lu Chen suspect that there was something wrong with her attributes.

Chu Yuqin sighed and said, "His Majesty shouldn't care. If he really cared, he wouldn't have gone so far to save you."

As Chu Yunzhi's alter ego, Chu Yuqin knew very well what Chu Yunzhi was struggling with.

Chu Yunzhi fell silent, drinking continuously. Just then, Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of something and continued, "Actually... I suspect that your desire to take revenge on Lu Chen is because that person used something on you to bewitch you. That shouldn't be your true intention."

Hearing this, Chu Yunzhi paused for a moment, put down her wine glass, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Think about it, you used to love Lu Chen so much, how could you possibly hate him to the point of wanting him to die? You're not that kind of person."

Chu Yunzhi remained silent for a while, then realized there was some truth to it.

Just then, something suddenly occurred to her: "It seems he used the Heavenly Evolution Stone on me."

The Heavenly Evolution Stone possesses the ability to change people's thoughts. Chu Yunzhi suddenly understood why the Divine Martial Emperor would entrust the Heavenly Evolution Stone to her for safekeeping for a period of time.

All of this must be because of the Divine Martial Emperor. The Divine Martial Emperor wanted her to give up on Lu Chen, so he used the Heavenly Evolution Stone to influence her personality and make her personality distorted.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunzhi felt much better. (End of Chapter)
