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

Although the Great Xia Dynasty was created by Lu Chen, most cultivators from various factions were more inclined to believe in the strength of Empress Tianhong.

After all, Empress Tianhong is skilled in the art of killing.

However, Lu Chen didn't care about any of that. It didn't matter whether the people of the Great Xia Dynasty believed him or not, since Empress Tianhong was his woman anyway.

As husband and wife, they were one; believing in Empress Tianhong was equivalent to believing in him.

Of course, with the Immortal Umbrella around, even if they don't trust themselves and want to betray the Great Xia Dynasty, they can't leave.

Lu Chen has already mobilized the power of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella to separate the Great Xia Dynasty from other star regions. To leave or enter, one must destroy the barrier created by the Immortal Spirit Umbrella; otherwise, one can only stand in front of the barrier and stare blankly.

in the hall.

Lu Chen glanced at the people attending the meeting and then said, "If anyone has anything else to say, please feel free to do so now."

Upon hearing this, one of the quasi-emperors immediately said, "Your Majesty, should we take the initiative to attack, or prepare for defense and wait for the enemy to attack?"

With a powerful emperor in charge of warfare, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty have a certain level of confidence, and some of them are even considering taking the initiative to attack.

Upon hearing this question, Lu Chen said calmly, "Naturally, it's a passive defense. The Divine Moon Dynasty has more than a dozen Great Emperors on the surface, and there are probably even more in secret. There's no need to confront them head-on."

"As long as they remain in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Divine Moon Dynasty does not have a Heavenly Emperor, they will not be able to break the restrictions I have set up."

Speaking of restrictions, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "I presume you all already know that there are restrictions surrounding the Great Xia Dynasty?"

The people in the main hall looked at each other, and finally their gazes all fell on Lu Chen.

They had indeed sensed the existence of that restriction. Now, apart from the soldiers of the War Dragon Army who could enter and leave the Great Xia Dynasty, no one else could leave the Great Xia Dynasty, and similarly, outsiders could not enter.

At this moment, Pei Shuhua, seated at the head of the table on the right side of the hall, spoke up and asked, "Your Majesty, can this restriction truly withstand the Emperor's attack?"

Lu Chen replied calmly, "To be precise, it can withstand the attacks of any Great Emperor. Unless the opponent is the Heavenly Emperor, it cannot threaten the safety of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent, and people's faces showed disbelief. If what the Heavenly Emperor said was true, then wouldn't the Great Xia Dynasty be invincible?

But is Emperor Xia really capable of setting up such a powerful restriction?

At this moment, Jiang Qingfeng spoke up, saying, "The restrictions set up by His Majesty have been tested. Two emperors have attacked the restrictions set up by His Majesty, and despite using various methods, they were unable to break them."

At this point, Jiang Qingfeng raised his hand, and a projected image appeared in the main hall.

In the scene, an Emperor's Dharma Image is frantically attacking the Fengyang Star Region, but all of the Emperor's attacks seem to be blocked by a blue barrier, which remains completely unharmed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted, and another emperor dressed in black robes appeared, attacking the Fengyang Star Region. However, the result was the same: the black-robed emperor also failed to affect the restrictions outside the Fengyang Star Region.

After witnessing the effects of the restriction firsthand, the people in the hall had even more confidence in defeating the Divine Moon Dynasty.

After Jiang Qingfeng withdrew the projected image, Lu Chen asked again, "Does anyone have any other ideas? If not, please go back and prepare."

The group looked at each other again, and seeing that no one had anything to say, they all stood up and said in unison:

"We take our leave!"

After the ceremony, people left one after another. However, as everyone turned to leave, one person looked back at Lu Chen's direction.

At this moment, Pei Tianlu, who was about to leave, seemed to sense something, so he turned his head and saw that Pei Shuhua was looking at Lu Chen with a conflicted expression.

Upon seeing this, Pei Tianlu instantly understood what was going on. He then turned around with a smile and left the main hall with light steps.

After everyone else left, only Lu Chen and Pei Shuhua remained in the hall. Pei Shuhua continued to look at Lu Chen without saying a word.

Seeing that Pei Shuhua was staring at him, Lu Chen knew that his main body would be busy again soon.

Pei Shuhua wore a green chiffon dress today, with an exquisite lotus belt that wrapped around her waist, making her curvaceous figure stand out.

The sheer long dress clung to her body, revealing glimpses of her skin beneath. Her hair, styled in a bun, cascaded down her shoulders, giving her a gentle and dignified appearance.

Lu Chen smiled knowingly and asked, "Shuhua, is there anything else?"

Pei Shuhua did not answer immediately. A struggle appeared on her face. To be honest, she did not know what kind of feelings she had for Lu Chen.

If you're talking about love, she doesn't think so; it's more like gratitude.

Over the years, she had been pondering a question: Lu Chen had helped her so much, should she repay him with her body?

At her level, romantic love isn't particularly important. So what if Lu Chen teases her? She's not particularly averse to it.

However, she was still confused and conflicted. She thought that Lu Chen had so many women and didn't need her. Was it really necessary for her to offer herself up to Lu Chen to play with?

Lu Chen knew that Pei Shuhua's heart was already wavering. What she lacked now was courage. At this time, she needed someone to give her a push.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all. He flashed and appeared in front of Pei Shuhua in the next moment.

Lu Chen's sudden appearance startled Pei Shuhua slightly. She instinctively wanted to back away, but Lu Chen suddenly reached out and forcefully pulled her limp body into his arms.

Pei Shuhua tried to struggle, but found that she had no strength at all.

Lu Chen's large hand wrapped around her slender waist, and she, feeling utterly powerless, was unable to push him away.

Lu Chen lowered his head slightly, his resolute gaze fixed on Pei Shuhua's eyes. "Shuhua, become my woman."

Lu Chen didn't use many sweet words. He knew that he only needed to take a little initiative to push Pei Shuhua, and she would agree to his request.

After regaining her composure, Pei Shuhua calmly looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Is this considered His Majesty's order?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You can think that way."

Pei Shuhua said, "So, I have no choice."

Lu Chen said, "You're right. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, and from that moment on, you've been unable to escape my grasp."

Pei Shuhua said, "His Majesty is truly domineering. Weren't all of His Majesty's women forcibly taken by him?"

At this moment, Lu Chen's large hand slowly moved around Pei Shuhua's waist, gradually moving downwards.

"Some are, some aren't." (End of Chapter)
