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

Chapter 15 Deceiving Chu Yuqin

At this moment, Wang Qingci also noticed Lu Chen, after all, she had come specifically for Lu Chen.

Seeing that the Northern King was actually smiling at her, Wang Qingci was overjoyed. It seemed that her plan had succeeded halfway and she had indeed attracted the Northern King's attention.

All we need to do now is wait quietly.

She believed that the Northern King would come looking for her soon, and Wang Qingci was quite confident in her beauty.

Then Wang Qingci smiled slightly at Lu Chen.

After the wedding banquet, Lu Chen left immediately, while Mu Zixuan chatted with the other women who had attended the banquet.

Lu Chen had already communicated and discussed his feelings with Zhou Xiaoxiao and the other girl, so he wasn't in a hurry to consummate the marriage.

He then arrived at the main courtyard, the courtyard where he planted the dragon and phoenix trees.

The dragon and phoenix tree had only been planted for less than half a month, yet it had already grown to Lu Chen's waist.

However, the dragon and phoenix tree looks no different from ordinary trees.

Lu Chen picked a few leaves from the dragon and phoenix tree, planning to make tea for Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister during their wedding night.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing that Lu Chen hadn't gone to greet the guests or look for Zhou Xiaoxiao and the other girl, but instead had come to this courtyard to look at the trees, Chu Yuqin asked curiously, "Chen'er, what are you doing? Why didn't you go to see the Zhou sisters?"

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's voice, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Yuqin, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked the system in his mind.

"System, will women become dependent on me and unable to live without me after drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea?"

That's right.

[Furthermore, after the women drink the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, they will be unable to harm you, and they will lose their strength when you touch their bodies.]

However, if the woman who drinks the Dragon and Phoenix Tea develops feelings for you, then the tea can enhance her skills to some extent.

Hearing the system's words, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. He thought that the Dragon and Phoenix Tea would at most make women dependent on him, but he didn't expect it to also increase his power.

Chu Yuqin has such a high level of affection for me, so if I drink more Dragon and Phoenix Tea, it will definitely increase my power a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "No rush. It's broad daylight. What would I do with them? Does Aunt Chu want me to do *that* in broad daylight...?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just wanted you to go and have a heart-to-heart talk with those two sisters, since you're already married."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin looked at the dragon and phoenix tree leaves in Lu Chen's hand and asked curiously, "What are you doing with those leaves?"

Lu Chen didn't answer Chu Yuqin's question directly. Instead, he looked around cautiously and said, "Aunt Chu, come with me. I have a secret to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin's eyes lit up, and she instantly became interested.

Recently, she discovered that Lu Chen had many secrets. Every time she asked Lu Chen, he refused to tell her, saying that he was too old to tell her. She even wondered if Lu Chen no longer recognized her as his aunt.

Since Lu Chen was willing to tell her a secret today, she was definitely going to listen. She wanted to know what kind of secret Lu Chen would tell her.

At this moment, Lu Chen walked towards his room, and Chu Yuqin quickly followed.

After entering his room, Lu Chen put the few leaves he was holding into the teapot on the table.

Seeing this, Chu Yuqin became even more curious, wondering what Lu Chen was doing.

After a moment, Lu Chen poured the brewed Dragon and Phoenix Tea into two purple clay cups. "Aunt Chu, try this tea."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment, then asked speechlessly, "Chen'er, is this the secret you were talking about?"

Lu Chen said mysteriously, "Aunt Chu, you'll understand what the secret I'm talking about is once you drink it."

At this point, Lu Chen picked up a purple clay cup from the table and drank the Dragon and Phoenix Tea in one gulp.

Seeing that Lu Chen had drunk it, Chu Yuqin also picked up the purple clay cup in front of her with some skepticism, and then took a small sip of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea in the cup.

After taking just a small sip, Chu Yuqin instantly felt a refreshing coolness wash over her.

The next moment, Chu Yuqin discovered that her internal energy was slowly increasing.

She had been stuck at the ninth rank for many years, and she thought it would be difficult for her to improve her level. Unexpectedly, after just drinking a sip of tea, her internal energy began to loosen.

Chu Yuqin then downed the Dragon and Phoenix Tea in one gulp, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Chen. "Chen'er, if I'm not mistaken, the leaf you were holding just now belonged to the tree in the middle of the courtyard, didn't it?"

Chu Yuqin had long noticed that Lu Chen seemed to care a lot about the tree in the middle of the yard. Chu Yuqin was also very curious as to why Lu Chen would personally water the tree every day after arriving in Beijun.

It turns out that the leaves of that tree can actually increase one's martial arts skills!

This is absolutely incredible!

Lu Chen still didn't answer Chu Yuqin's question, but instead asked, "Aunt Chu, how are you feeling now?"

Chu Yuqin closed her eyes slightly, and the next moment a stream of energy spread out from Chu Yuqin's body.

Chu Yuqin opened her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

She actually broke through to the half-step Grandmaster level!

Although there is still a long way to go before becoming a grandmaster, this at least gave her hope.

At this moment, Lu Chen spoke up to explain, "Aunt Chu, the tree in the yard is called the Dragon and Phoenix Tree. Drinking tea made from the leaves of that tree can help martial artists improve their skills."

Lu Chen only told Chu Yuqin part of the story. As for the other uses of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, Lu Chen did not plan to tell Chu Yuqin for the time being.

Chu Yuqin has a gentle nature, and Lu Chen had no intention of forcing her from the start.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Yuqin was immediately surprised. Although she had already experienced the benefits that the Dragon and Phoenix Tea brought her, she was even more incredulous after hearing Lu Chen's explanation.

Lu Chen was already capable of producing a weapon that could instantly kill a ninth-rank martial artist, but now he had somehow found a plant that could increase one's power.

If this were to become known, the entire martial arts world would likely descend into chaos!

Who knows how many grandmaster-level experts will come to the Prince's Mansion to snatch that tree!

Not only grandmasters, but even great grandmasters might be interested in this tree.

Chu Yuqin didn't plan to ask Lu Chen how he got there, since he probably wouldn't tell her anyway.

Chu Yuqin sighed and asked worriedly, "Chen'er, does anyone else know the purpose of this tree?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I only told you, Aunt Chu, about this. Nobody else knows."

Chu Yuqin warned, "Don't tell anyone about the tree's function, or the Northern Prince's Mansion will be in big trouble, and I won't be able to protect it then."

Lu Chen said, "Don't worry, Aunt Chu, I know the pros and cons."

Chu Yuqin said, "Alright, you go to Xiaoxiao and Youyou's place first."

Lu Chen hummed in agreement and said, "Then I'll head over first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen turned and left.

For some reason, watching Lu Chen's tall figure leave, Chu Yuqin suddenly felt uneasy.
