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

Once inside the vortex, everything went dark, and you couldn't see anything.

Furthermore, the body is deprived of its five senses, leaving only consciousness.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last long, and the next moment, light appeared before their eyes.

They were teleported to a cliff. Xue Linglong stood at the top of the cliff, looking at the endless forest in the distance, and felt the thick spiritual energy in the air. For a moment, Xue Linglong was a little stunned.

The concentration of spiritual energy in this secret realm is so high; it probably even exceeds that of the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters.

Before Xue Linglong could react, she felt the power surging within her body. She quickly sat cross-legged, trying to calm the restless power. Soon, a violent force shot straight into the sky from the top of her head, and her cultivation level broke through to the early stage of the Heavenly Realm.

Xue Linglong was overjoyed, never expecting that her cultivation level would break through simply by entering this ruin.

That's good, I don't have to worry about Wu Yunwan attacking me anymore.

She was unaware of Wu Yunwan's ulterior motives, but being in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, her biggest fear was that Wu Yunwan would take advantage of Lu Chen's absence to suddenly attack her.

After all, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Sect were mortal enemies.

Now that she has broken through to the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, even if Lu Chen is not in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she doesn't need to worry about Wu Yunwan attacking her.

Xue Linglong took a deep breath, calming her inner turmoil, then opened her beautiful eyes, looked up at Lu Chen in front of her, and asked, "Even if you don't bring me into this world, can I still get in without getting hurt?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're not stupid. You can enter this world without me."

After receiving Lu Chen's affirmative answer, Xue Linglong felt extremely upset.

Just as she thought, her body was completely able to resist the corrosive power of the entrance to the ruins. She really was offering herself up to Lu Chen as a plaything.

Xue Linglong quickly stopped herself from thinking any further, fearing that if she continued, she would have suicidal thoughts.

Oh well, so what if I was toyed with by this man for a while?

It doesn't matter, she didn't really lose out anyway.

The Heavenly Demon Sect was not a good people to begin with; matters between men and women were commonplace for its disciples.

What she couldn't let go of was that Lu Chen had obtained her primordial yin essence. Because of her furnace physique, she would have to frequently engage in sexual intercourse with Lu Chen in the future.

With such extraordinary talent, Lu Chen has already broken through to the late King Realm. If given more time to grow, it is entirely possible for Lu Chen to reach the Emperor Realm or even the Saint Realm.

At that point, even the Heavenly Demon Sect won't be able to do anything to Lu Chen.

In order to have sexual relations with Lu Chen, she had to stay by his side.

She may never be able to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect. She and Lu Chen are now bound together. Unless the border barrier disappears now and the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect can capture Lu Chen and bring him back to the sect immediately, she will be a traitor to the Heavenly Demon Sect and follow Lu Chen for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Xue Linglong suddenly fell silent.

Lu Chen crouched down, looking into her eyes, and teased, "What? Regretting your deal with me?"

Xue Linglong snapped out of her daze and looked at Lu Chen with resentment, saying, "What's the use of regretting it now? I'm already my husband's woman."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Alright, weren't you going to search for ancient inheritances? This world is vast, you should hurry up and explore it. I'll head back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion first."

Xue Linglong came to her senses. Thinking about those things now was useless. What's done is done, and she could only take it one step at a time. The most urgent thing was to see if the ancient heritage still existed.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong asked, "Husband, aren't you afraid that I'll take the ancient inheritance and run away since you won't search with me?"

Lu Chen said, "I told you before, there is no such thing as an ancient inheritance here, and I don't think you can do without me now."

At this point, Lu Chen revealed a playful smile, his gaze fixed intently on Xue Linglong's eyes, as if he had already seen through her.

Seeing Lu Chen looking at her like that, Xue Linglong's heart trembled slightly. Could it be that Lu Chen already knew that she possessed the Furnace Physique?

Lu Chen didn't tease Xue Linglong any further. He then stood up and said, "The spiritual energy here is very strong. You should stabilize your cultivation level again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen leaped up, his body transforming into a streak of light, and left the cliff top, leaving Xue Linglong alone sitting cross-legged on the cliff top.

Xue Linglong got up from the ground only after Lu Chen's figure had completely disappeared.

She turned her head and looked around, then flew into the air, randomly chose a direction, and flew in that direction.

Over the next few days, Xue Linglong explored the ancient ruins.

Like Wu Yunwan, she found nothing in the ruins except for some medicinal herbs.

This further confirmed her suspicion that the inheritance had fallen into Lu Chen's hands, or into the hands of someone else, especially Wu Junwan.

Since Lu Chen has said that the inheritance is no longer in the ruins, there is no need for her to continue searching.

So she took the initiative to leave the ancient ruins and return to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, intending to find Wu Yunwan and sound her out to see if the inheritance had fallen into Wu Yunwan's hands.

Meanwhile, in Wu Junwan's courtyard.

Wu Junwan was next to the crib, playing with Lu Feng while holding a rattle drum.

A maidservant rushed into the courtyard, walked up to Wu Yunwan, bowed to her, and said, "Madam, Madam Xue has returned."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan immediately put down the rattle drum in her hand and prepared to go find Xue Linglong, wanting to test whether Xue Linglong had discovered anything in the ancient ruins.

The day after Xue Linglong went to the ancient ruins with Lu Chen, Wu Yunwan learned about it.

She had been keeping an eye on Xue Linglong's courtyard, so when news of Xue Linglong's return came, a maid immediately informed her.

She found nothing in the ancient ruins, but she didn't believe there was really nothing there.

Either Lu Chen had looted everything inside, or she simply hadn't discovered those things.

Just because she couldn't find the treasures in the ruins doesn't mean others can't. Perhaps Xue Linglong will make a discovery.

Of course, she also knew that even if Xue Linglong obtained something inside, she would never tell her, so she just wanted to test her.

If Xue Linglong really obtained some treasure from it, she would eventually let it slip.

However, just as Wu Yunwan got up and was about to go to Xue Linglong's courtyard, Xue Linglong's figure suddenly appeared in her courtyard.

Upon seeing Wu Yunwan, Xue Linglong said sarcastically, "The great princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is actually bearing children and continuing the family line for a man from the borderlands, and even taking care of the children. Madam Wu is really becoming more and more like a woman."

Upon hearing Xue Linglong's words, Wu Yunwan was not angry. She said indifferently, "How much better off are you? The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, haven't you still become someone else's plaything?"
