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

Chapter 127 Chu Qingli's Confusion

After patrolling the inner courtyard with Chu Qingli, Chu Yuqin arrived at the north courtyard.

As she walked, she said, "Qingli, Chen'er is a prince after all. You shouldn't have a stern face when you see him in the future."

Chu Yuqin was still somewhat worried that Chu Qingli's excessive hostility towards Lu Chen would cause greater conflict between Chu Qingli and Lu Chen.

One is her younger sister, and the other is her Chen'er; Chu Yuqin doesn't want the two of them to have a conflict.

Chu Qingli said expressionlessly, "Sister, I am an assassin. I have always been this way, as you know."

Hearing Chu Qingli's answer, Chu Yuqin sighed and said, "Qingli, now that you have left the Chu family, your identity has changed. You must adapt to your new identity as soon as possible. From now on, you are no longer an assassin, and you cannot still consider yourself an assassin."

"If you always have a stern face and look unapproachable, what man will marry you? How will you ever get married?"

Chu Qingli said calmly, "I have no plans to get married. Having my sister is enough."

This……

Chu Yuqin didn't know how to persuade Chu Qingli. Chu Qingli had always been a bit slow-witted; once she made up her mind, she almost never changed it, and it was very difficult to persuade her.

As they chatted, they entered the North Courtyard. At this moment, Chu Yuqin said to Chu Qingli, "This is the North Courtyard, Zhou..."

……

"Good brother..."

"Oh, my lord, spare me!"

Before Chu Yuqin could finish speaking, she heard a sound coming from inside the room.

Chu Yuqin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Chu Qingli immediately showed a look of disgust.

This is the inner courtyard. It's obvious who in the inner courtyard would do such a thing.

This guy was with Mu Zixuan before, but now he's here again.

Is he really thinking about women all day long?

What kind of beast is this?

Chu Yuqin coughed and said, "Qingli, let's go check out other places first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yuqin turned and left the North Courtyard.

After leaving the North Courtyard, Chu Qingli asked, "Sister, the Northern King should be a martial artist, right?"

The moment Chu Qingli saw Lu Chen, she sensed the aura of a martial artist emanating from him. Although Lu Chen gave off a different feeling than ordinary martial artists, Chu Qingli was an assassin who had seen all kinds of martial artists, so she could easily judge whether someone was a martial artist.

Chu Yuqin said, "Yes, Chen'er is indeed a martial artist."

Chu Qingli continued, "Shouldn't martial artists abstain from women? How can he practice martial arts while keeping so many women in his mansion?"

For ordinary martial artists, women consume too much of their energy. Unless they are evil or heretical, most martial artists can control themselves and will not frequently indulge in women.

In this world, some women would rather their husbands be low-level martial artists than high-level ones, and that's why.

The higher the level of a martial artist, the more strictly they abstain from sex. Many martial artists don't touch women for more than a year, but for ten years. Marrying such a martial artist is like living a life of widowhood.

Chu Qingli could sense a strong flow of internal energy emanating from Lu Chen. Lu Chen's strength was at least above the eighth rank, which meant he was a high-ranking martial artist.

How could a high-ranking martial artist like him have so many women in his mansion, and he seemed to have no self-control at all? This puzzled Chu Qingli. How could he be so lecherous and still become a martial artist of the eighth rank or above at the age of sixteen or seventeen?

Upon hearing Chu Qingli's question, Chu Yuqin blushed and replied, "Chen'er's martial arts are rather special, so he doesn't need to abstain from women."

The thought that Lu Chen's cultivation technique not only didn't require him to abstain from women, but might even greatly increase his power because of women made Chu Yuqin's face flush.

Of course, she definitely couldn't tell Chu Qingli about this, lest Chu Qingli think that Lu Chen was practicing some kind of evil martial art.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Chu Qingli looked on with suspicion. What kind of martial arts doesn't require abstaining from women?

real or fake?

How come she's never heard of such martial arts?

Could this be some kind of yin-tonifying therapy?

Chu Qingli didn't ask any more questions. She planned to observe the situation of the Prince's Mansion carefully for the next period of time, especially the situation of Lu Chen and his women.

If it were an evil practice like absorbing yang energy to replenish yang, she could tell the difference just by looking at Lu Chen's women.

Because the practice of absorbing yin to replenish yang is extremely harmful to a woman's body, especially since Lu Chen's wives and concubines are all ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot withstand the practice of absorbing yin to replenish yang, and their bodies will soon collapse.

If Mu Zixuan and the others have been sexually exploited, she will be able to see the signs tomorrow.

Chu Qingli thought to herself that once she was certain that the Northern King knew the art of sexual cultivation, she had to take her sister away as soon as possible. She didn't want her sister to be sexually exploited by the Northern King.

……

[The host cultivates feelings with Zhou Xiaoxiao once, gaining 20 experience points for the Qi Refining Technique, 20 experience points for the Rejuvenating Hand Technique, and 30 experience points for the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Skill.]

[The host cultivates feelings with Zhou Youyou once, gaining 20 experience points for the Qi Refining Technique, 20 experience points for the Rejuvenating Hand, and 30 experience points for the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Skill. The Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Skill breaks through to the second level.]

With Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao on his left and right, Lu Chen looked up at the system interface in front of him and thought to himself, "It seems that if I want to gain more experience points, I still need to find that vixen."

After all, Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou are just ordinary people, and considering that they are ordinary people, Lu Chen didn't dare to be too fierce.

But that vixen was different. She was a martial artist who was about to become a half-step grandmaster, and Lu Chen could do whatever he wanted with her.

Lu Chen scrolled through the system interface and glanced at the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique.

After breaking through to the second level of the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Skill, he was able to infuse more internal energy into his wives and concubines, which allowed them to improve their cultivation levels faster, and also accelerated his own cultivation speed.

Combining the Qi Refining Technique with the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Skill should grant even more experience points.

With that in mind, Lu Chen decided to give it a try.

After glancing at Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou and seeing that they were already very tired, Lu Chen decided not to bother them any further.

He then slowly got up, preparing to go find a certain fox spirit.

Seeing that Lu Chen was about to get up, the two sisters quickly dressed him.

……

at the same time.

A courtyard filled with plum blossoms.

The courtyard was very quiet, and there were no maids inside.

Inside the room, a figure slowly stepped into the bathtub with her delicate feet.

After soaking in the bathtub for a while, the graceful figure emerged from the tub and swayed her hips back onto her chaise lounge.

The beautiful woman admired her long, slender legs and sighed, muttering to herself, "I guess the young prince won't be coming today."

Lu Chen had three wives and concubines, all of whom were married through proper channels.

Wang Qingci thought that she was just a female slave, and since the princess had just returned to the palace, Lu Chen should naturally go and accompany her.

But just then, a familiar voice rang out from the doorway, "Who said I wasn't coming today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen pushed open the door and entered. He saw Wang Qingci reclining on the chaise longue, her veil half-draped. Lu Chen chuckled and said, "As my female slave, you actually dare to call me a little prince? Qingci, you've got some nerve!"

Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, Wang Qingci not only did not rise, but instead covered her mouth with her slender fingers and said with a smile, "Does this servant not know whether Your Highness is the young prince or not?"

Lu Chen then closed the door, went directly to the vixen, and wrapped his arms around her soft waist, turning her over.

"Young Prince, is it? I think you've been away from me for too long and need a lesson!"

"It's time to teach her a lesson, to show her what a female slave should and shouldn't say."

Wang Qingci turned her head at this moment, her eyes filled with affection, and was about to continue her provocation when she was suddenly silenced.

"Mmm..."

……

Chu Qingli followed Chu Yuqin on a tour of the entire inner courtyard and planned to return to the room that Chu Yuqin had arranged for her earlier.

Just then, she passed by a courtyard full of plum blossoms. Seeing how special the scenery was, Chu Qingli subconsciously stopped and lingered for a moment.

However, at that moment, she heard some faint sounds.

Because she didn't enter the courtyard this time, she couldn't hear clearly what the sound was.

Out of curiosity, Chu Qingli then went into the courtyard and listened attentively.

"Good brother... I was wrong..."

"You're not the young prince...you're the eldest prince..."

"I'm going to die..."

……

Chu Qingli's face immediately darkened.

She initially thought it was some kind of sound, but it turns out it was some beast doing something bad again.

Is this guy really just doing nothing all day long and spending all his time in a woman's arms?

Chu Qingli glanced disdainfully at the room from which the sound came, then turned and left.

Not long after Chu Qingli left, she encountered Mu Zixuan coming out of the courtyard.

Chu Qingli immediately said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Mu Zixuan smiled slightly, then asked, "Qingli, has Aunt Chu arranged accommodations for you?"

Chu Qingli said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything has been arranged."

Chu Qingli then said, "Your Highness, I will go on patrol now."

"Okay, sure."

Chu Qingli then bypassed Mu Zixuan and continued walking towards her room.

As Chu Qingli walked, she wondered why Mu Zixuan not only didn't seem to have been sexually exploited, but actually looked even more beautiful. Her skin seemed to be glowing and more delicate, as if she had become younger.

Is this just her imagination?

Logically speaking, the person who was drained of nourishment should have dark circles under their eyes and look extremely haggard, definitely not like Mu Zixuan.

Could it be that the Northern King did not use any sexual cultivation techniques?

Without the art of sexual cultivation, a martial artist like the Northern King, who spends all his time in women's arms, would probably be completely drained of his energy within a few days, let alone be able to practice martial arts.

That's strange, how did he do that?
