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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yun Yudie was slightly taken aback. She had been cultivating with Lu Chen in the Xuan Yue Palace, and although she knew about most of the major events that had occurred in the Tianyan Immortal Realm, this was the first time she had heard of something like this.

She spoke up, "Emperor Xiyue has publicly declared you to be her Daoist partner, yet someone still dares to covet the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?"

Lu Chen said, "Perhaps the other party wants to use the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty to provoke conflict between the Nine Heavens Academy and the Heavenly Tide Palace, so as to reap the benefits."

Lu Chen did not believe that the other party was only targeting him. In his opinion, the other party was just using the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and the ultimate goal was to provoke conflict between Xiyue Immortal Emperor and Xuan Qingyun.

He is the Daoist partner of Immortal Emperor Xiyue, and the other party is constantly brainwashing the people of Great Qin, deliberately reinforcing the idea that Immortal Emperor Xiyue is backing the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. If one day the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty and the Nine Heavens Academy have a conflict, Xuan Qingyun may very well believe that all of this is the will of Immortal Emperor Xiyue.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie fell into deep thought. After a while, she asked, "What force do you think is plotting against the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty behind the scenes?"

Lu Chen replied, "Anyone could be it. It could be the Blood Ancestor, the Hidden Moon Sect Master, or even someone from the Central Region."

When Lu Chen mentioned the Central Region, he thought of the Immortal Emperor Youlan. If that terrifying being in the Central Region was indeed the Immortal Emperor Youlan, and she had not left seclusion, then she was likely plotting something.

However, Lu Chen thought about it again. Based on his recent experiences, almost all of his women's souls were sealed with strange power. Xuan Qingyun also met the system's requirements, so Xuan Qingyun was most likely a half-human, half-monster being. The terrifying being in the Central Region was also suspected to be a strange creature.

If the terrifying being in the Central Region is indeed the Immortal Emperor Youlan, then the Immortal Emperor Youlan seems to have no reason to provoke conflict between the Immortal Emperors Xuan Qingyun and Xiyue, since they are both strange beings.

Therefore, the possibility that the Central Region is plotting against the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is the least, which leaves only the Blood Ancestor and the Hidden Moon Cult Leader.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen rolled over and gently pushed Yun Yudie, who was sitting on the soft couch, down onto her. He then rolled over and pressed down on her, looking down at her beautiful face as he said, "Who cares who it is? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The most important thing right now is to improve our strength as quickly as possible."

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to have some ideas, Yun Yudie gave Lu Chen a meaningful look.

Since the strange power appeared on her, Lu Chen's interest in her has greatly diminished.

Although Lu Chen had left a body here, Yun Yudie could clearly sense that Lu Chen was not as "enthusiastic" as before. After all, they used to be intimate every day, but now they only cultivate together once in a long while. Anyone could tell what was going on.

Clearly, Lu Chen was very concerned about the strange power within her. Yun Yudie suspected that Lu Chen might be worried that the strange power within her was eroding his body, which was why his enthusiasm for her had waned.

Yun Yudie then asked indifferently, "Aren't you afraid that the strange power within me will corrupt your body?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's impossible not to worry at all, but anyway, this is just my body, so it's fine even if it's tainted by strange power."

Yun Yudie continued, "You should know that the strange power doesn't just erode the body; it can also erode your soul through your body."

After Yun Yudie's reminder, Lu Chen's initial interest gradually faded.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed uninterested again, Yun Yudie continued, "Ye Chuyao, Xiao Xueying, and Cao Shiyun also seem to possess strange powers. Have you ever wondered what's going on?"

Yun Yudie has gradually come to control the strange power emanating from the depths of her soul. Since gaining control of this strange power, her perception of it has become even more acute.

When she realized that there were three other people in the Xuan Yue Palace with strange powers within them, she was shocked. She was even more surprised when she saw that the three were Lu Chen's women.

Whether Lu Chen was lucky or unlucky, the women he dated all possessed strange, sealed powers.

Yun Yudie even began to doubt whether Lu Chen was behind all of this, as she felt that the strange power within her soul was left behind by Lu Chen.

Perhaps this guy himself is a strange creature. In order to transform others into strange creatures, he uses sexual intercourse to lower their guard, and then infuses some strange power into the depths of their souls, allowing the strange power to gradually erode their souls.

Upon hearing Yun Yudie's question, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Not only them, but also the souls of my other women are sealed with strange powers, including Xiyue Immortal Emperor."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie was taken aback. They were all sealed with strange power? What a coincidence!

Could it be that this guy really did all of this?

While Yun Yudie was lost in thought, Lu Chen continued, "I have a feeling that I've been caught up in some huge conspiracy."

Yun Yudie looked at Lu Chen with suspicion, "Why do I feel like the strange power deep within our souls was instilled in us by you?"

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "I'm not a strange creature. If I were, I wouldn't have helped the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm reinforce the seal of the Sunset Mountains."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Yun Yudie felt that it made some sense. If Lu Chen was really a strange creature, he would definitely choose to break the seals of those forbidden places in the Sunset Mountains and release all the strange creatures that were sealed. How could he possibly go to great lengths to reinforce the seals?

Why is it that other people's souls don't have any strange power, but Lu Chen's woman's soul has a strange power sealed deep within her soul?

Lu Chen then continued, "I suspect that someone deliberately sent you to my side to seduce me, and then used your beauty to wear down my will, making me only think about procreation."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie frowned slightly and looked at him coldly, saying, "I don't recall forcing you to engage in sexual relations with me?"

This guy got their bodies and now he's saying such things. It wasn't them who forced Lu Chen to cultivate together; it was Lu Chen who slept with them on his own initiative. Yet he's turning around and accusing them of seducing him.

What a shameless scoundrel!

Seeing that Yun Yudie was angry, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I was just saying, my wife, don't take it to heart."

At this moment, Yun Yudie raised her delicate hand and supported herself against Lu Chen's chest, saying, "Get up!"

Even if he has feelings for her now, she won't let him touch her after he said that. What a scoundrel, he's getting the benefit and still acting innocent.

Seeing that the Ice Beauty was angry, Lu Chen's heart, which had been calmed down, became restless again.

Without saying a word, Lu Chen grabbed Yun Yudie's wrist, pressed her jade arm onto the soft couch, and then leaned down to kiss Yun Yudie's warm lips.

"Hmm..." (End of Chapter)
