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

The battle at Jade Dragon Sect greatly boosted the morale of the Profound Moon Palace. In particular, the fact that Immortal King Lingyin defeated the Ghost Fiend Immortal King's split soul projection in a short time spread throughout the affiliated sects of the Profound Moon Palace in a very short time, which also temporarily calmed down some of the disloyal affiliated sects.

However, although the war was over, the elders of Xuan Yue Palace were not very happy because the war had resulted in the Palace Master's personal disciple being seriously injured.

All the immortal lords were thinking about how they should explain things to their palace master after he emerged from seclusion.

In the room filled with the smell of medicine, Lu Chen's celestial clone lay quietly on the bed, his face devoid of any color, as pale as a dead man's, looking as if he was about to die.

Ye Chuyao stayed by the bedside, and seeing Lu Chen's condition, she was extremely worried. She wanted to ask her master to come out of seclusion and ask if there was any way to help Lu Chen recover.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly coughed, and Ye Chuyao quickly asked, "Junior brother, how are you feeling now?"

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. To be honest, if Ye Chuyao hadn't been guarding this body, Lu Chen would have given up on it. The body's meridians were broken, the dantian was shattered, the immortal energy within the body had almost dissipated, and the vitality was constantly being lost.

Lu Chen said weakly, "Senior...Senior Sister...I...I'm fine..."

Seeing Lu Chen's stubbornness, Ye Chuyao felt even more distressed. She believed that Lu Chen wasn't stupid and must have already sensed her physical condition. He was only pretending to be fine to avoid making her worry.

Ye Chuyao really wanted to question Lu Chen about why he didn't use the life-saving magic treasure given to him by his master. As direct disciples, their master must have left them jade slips that could save their lives. Those life-saving jade slips would definitely be able to withstand the full force of a Celestial Lord's attack without any problem.

However, Lu Chen did not use it. Instead of using it, he confronted the opponent head-on. For a Celestial Immortal to clash head-on with a Celestial Lord was tantamount to courting death.

Although she was a little angry at Lu Chen's reckless behavior, she couldn't say anything more now that he was in this state.

All she hopes for now is that Lu Chen can recover.

Lu Chen then said, "Senior sister, you should go cultivate. You don't need to stay by my side all the time. If Master keeps watching over me and it interferes with your cultivation, Master will probably scold me again."

Hearing this, Ye Chuyao felt even more distressed. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had only had a sexual encounter with this junior brother because of a misunderstanding, and it was just that—a sexual encounter. How could an immortal fall in love with someone just because of a sexual encounter?

But she was feeling very uncomfortable. Ye Chuyao couldn't help but wonder if she had really developed some feelings for him that she shouldn't have.

Ye Chuyao said, "It's alright. With the evil immortals invading, I can't concentrate on cultivation right now."

Lu Chen gazed at Ye Chuyao's cold, beautiful face, then said, "Senior Sister, after Master comes out of seclusion and finds out I've become a cripple, will he expel me from Xuan Yue Palace?"

Ye Chuyao immediately said, "Don't think such things. Master isn't that kind of person."

Lu Chen said, "Master was afraid that I would disturb your cultivation. The reason she kept me in the first place was mainly because she saw that I still had some talent. Now that I have become a cripple, she has no reason to keep me in the Xuan Yue Palace anymore. After expelling me from the Xuan Yue Palace, no one will interfere with your cultivation anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuyao fell silent. If Lu Chen's body was truly beyond repair, their master might indeed make him leave Xuan Yue Palace.

Although their master wouldn't be so heartless as to abandon Lu Chen to fend for himself, it's still very possible that he would leave Xuan Yue Palace and go to live in the Immortal City.

Thinking about this, Ye Chuyao didn't know how to comfort Lu Chen.

Lu Chen continued to gaze into Ye Chuyao's eyes. Seeing that Ye Chuyao did not speak, Lu Chen said, "Before Master expels me from Xuan Yue Palace, I have one more wish. I wonder if Senior Sister can grant it to me."

Ye Chuyao snapped out of her daze and asked, "What is your wish? Tell me, and I will do everything in my power to help you fulfill it."

Lu Chen said, "Ever since I separated from my senior sister, I've been constantly thinking about her and haven't been able to concentrate on my cultivation."

"I know I've become a cripple and am unworthy of my senior sister, but I still want to leave with her a beautiful memory before I leave Xuan Yue Palace. That way, even if I leave Xuan Yue Palace, I won't have any regrets."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Chuyao was stunned. She immediately understood what Lu Chen meant.

Even in his current state, he still wants to have sex with me.

Is he really that obsessed with himself?

If he was really so obsessed with himself, why did he agree to his master's request to marry Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun in the first place?

Ye Chuyao fell into a long silence.

For her, sexual pleasure was nothing special. After all, she and Lu Chen had already done it before, so one more or one less time didn't really make much difference.

However, Ye Chuyao was still conflicted. If her master found out that she had done that kind of thing with Lu Chen again, would her master worry that Lu Chen would still be bothering her after leaving Xuan Yue Palace, and then throw Lu Chen into the mortal world to fend for himself?

If Lu Chen were still in the Immortal City, it would be easy for her to see him. After all, there is a teleportation array between the Immortal City and the Xuan Yue Palace. However, if Lu Chen were thrown into a mortal city or a mortal dynasty, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack for her to find him again.

Although she was already convinced that Lu Chen would most likely be expelled from Xuan Yue Palace, she didn't want to never have the chance to see him again.

The thought that she would never see Lu Chen again in this life made her feel extremely sad.

Ye Chuyao sighed inwardly.

She did indeed develop feelings for this man that she shouldn't have.

Seeing Lu Chen's pale, handsome face and longing eyes, Ye Chuyao ultimately couldn't bear to refuse. She thought to herself, since she had already done "that" with him, one or two more times wouldn't matter, as long as her master didn't find out.

Thinking of this, Ye Chuyao said to Lu Chen, "Okay, I promise you, but we'll have to wait until you recover before I take you to the Immortal City."

That kind of thing couldn't possibly be done in the Xuan Yue Palace. If it were done there, her master could sense it with a single divine thought.

Since Lu Chen might be banished to the Immortal City anyway, she might as well take the initiative to find a suitable Immortal City for him.

Seeing that Ye Chuyao had agreed, Lu Chen said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Ye Chuyao continued, "You should rest first. I'll go tell my two junior sisters about this."

She took someone else's husband away; she couldn't possibly remain silent, especially since Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun were her junior sisters. (End of Chapter)
