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

Chapter 261 The Mysterious Barbarian Goddess

The barbarian camp had been blasted apart by artillery fire. In the darkness, the barbarian soldiers had no idea where to run. They fled in all directions like headless flies, but in the end, they were all killed one by one by the northern army.

The muskets of the northern soldiers could instantly kill even the ninth-rank barbarian soldiers who still had a fighting chance. The surviving barbarian soldiers were unable to regroup and launch another counterattack. They didn't even know that their king was dead.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and that they were doomed to defeat, coupled with the fact that the previous bombardment had terrified them, some barbarian soldiers simply surrendered.

at the same time.

After Chen Wanrong brought Lu Chen back to Lu Chen's residence, Chen Wanrong immediately dismounted. Her face was flushed, and she looked somewhat unhappy.

She then coldly said to Lu Chen, who was still on horseback, "We're here. Go in by yourself."

This guy kept messing around behind her, groping her with his hands, which made Chen Wanrong feel a bit agitated.

Lu Chen then dismounted and said to the guards, "Take the horse away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen walked up to Chen Wanrong and said with a smile, "Palace Master Chen, you still have to do me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong asked, "What kind of busyness?"

Without saying a word, Lu Chen grabbed her and lifted her up in a princess carry. Chen Wanrong was stunned. She quickly raised her arms to hold Lu Chen's neck to avoid losing her balance and falling.

Chen Wanrong said somewhat angrily, "What are you doing?"

Lu Chen said, "I need your help!"

With that, Lu Chen, carrying Chen Wanrong's body, immediately headed towards his room.

After entering the room, Lu Chen placed Chen Wanrong on the bed and then pressed himself against her.

Seeing that Lu Chen had carried her into the room, Chen Wanrong knew exactly what he wanted to do. She coldly said, "Your Highness's soldiers are fighting on the battlefield. Isn't it inappropriate for Your Highness to do such things from the rear?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Didn't General Mu just say that I was seriously injured and need to recuperate? The affairs of the battlefield are temporarily none of my concern."

Chen Wanrong immediately turned her head to the side, no longer looking at Lu Chen, appearing completely at his mercy.

Since he's already said that, what can she do? Let him do whatever he wants; she's already his woman anyway.

Seeing Chen Wanrong's snow-white neck, Lu Chen could no longer resist and leaned down to kiss Chen Wanrong's alluring red lips.

Lu Chen had no choice. He had absorbed too much power and couldn't digest it all at once. He could only share some of the power in his body with Chen Wanrong and use the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique to speed up the absorption of the power.

Soon, Chen Wanrong also felt the rapid increase in her internal energy, and she guessed what had caused Lu Chen's previous strange behavior.

Lu Chen absorbed the power of a Grandmaster, but Lu Chen himself was only a Grandmaster. He had not yet reached the point of breaking through, so no matter how much power he absorbed, he could not break through. This power accumulated in Lu Chen's body and could not be digested in time, which made Lu Chen very uncomfortable. Therefore, Lu Chen urgently needed to release some of this power.

Chen Wanrong didn't know whether to be happy or angry. If she was angry, this wicked thing had passed on its power to her again, which was a good thing for her, since it helped her improve her strength. If she was happy, she still had some resentment because this guy had been tormenting her like this.

The soldiers of the Northern Kingdom fought fiercely in the barbarian camp for a whole night. Although the barbarian soldiers had completely lost their ability to resist, there were still hundreds of thousands of them. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it would take some time to capture them.

Lu Chen also fought hard all night.

As dawn broke, Lu Chen rose from the soft, fragrant embrace of Chen Wanrong. He glanced at her snow-white skin, which was tinged with a rosy blush.

At this moment, Chen Wanrong's eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, her gaze somewhat resentful.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have been able to digest so much power in such a short time yesterday."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Chen Wanrong, blushing, said expressionlessly, "Thank you."

When Lu Chen heard Chen Wanrong thank him, he was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Wanrong to take the initiative to thank him.

After regaining his senses, Lu Chen said, "You're welcome."

He knew perfectly well why Chen Wanrong thanked him. He had already transferred so much power to her, helping her improve her strength, so it was normal for her to thank him.

Chen Wanrong then continued, "After the war, I need to return to Xuan Yue Palace."

She believed that her presence on the battlefield would soon reach the ears of the elders of Xuan Yue Palace, so she had to return to Xuan Yue Palace to appease them and prevent any conflict between Xuan Yue Palace and the Northern Kingdom because of her.

She had witnessed the military strength of the Northern Kingdom. Although the Xuan Yue Palace also had Grandmasters and even experts at the Celestial Realm, no one knew whether Lu Chen and his group would create even more powerful weapons. It would be unwise to make enemies of the Northern Kingdom.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment. He figured that Chen Wanrong's suggestion to return to Xuan Yue Palace at this time was most likely to appease the elders of Xuan Yue Palace. Lu Chen did not believe that Chen Wanrong would not return to Xuan Yue Palace after going back.

However, Lu Chen was still somewhat reluctant to see such a fairy leave him.

Lu Chen then placed his large hand on Chen Wanrong's long, slender, fair legs, gently stroking them, and said, "Alright, but when do you plan to return to the Northern Kingdom?"

"You don't have my child yet, we still need to work harder."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment, "Once I've calmed down those elders, I'll return to the Northern Kingdom."

Lu Chen said, "Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back."

Seeing how readily Lu Chen agreed, Chen Wanrong looked into his eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid that if I go back, I'll never come back?"

Hearing Chen Wanrong's question, Lu Chen smiled faintly, then moved closer to her, stroking her cold, beautiful face as he gazed into her eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I put a love potion on you? If you hadn't come back, could you have endured life without me?"

Chen Wanrong did not avoid Lu Chen's gaze, and she continued, "I can use my internal energy to force out the love poison you gave me."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then you can give it a try."

"But I think I told you before I came to Ningbei City that if you really don't come back, I will go to Xuan Yue Palace and take you back."

"I'm a very domineering person. Once you're my wife, you'll be my wife for life. It won't be so easy for you to get rid of me."

Chen Wanrong dismissed it, coldly replying, "You'll get tired of it someday."

In Chen Wanrong's view, although Lu Chen still likes her beauty now, Lu Chen has so many women, and each one of them is very beautiful and stunning. In addition, Lu Chen's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he will definitely marry more women in the future.

Once Lu Chen has a certain number of women, he will most likely get tired of them.

Sexual pleasure between men and women is just that—sex. All his women are so beautiful. Isn't it the same whether Lu Chen and that woman have sex? Perhaps after they've been intimate many times that day, Lu Chen will lose interest in her.

Hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lu Chen smiled, then put his arm around Chen Wanrong's slender waist and said, "Tired? I won't get tired of it. How could I feel tired of teasing such a beautiful fairy like you?"

Chen Wanrong said expressionlessly, "You're just saying that now."

Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't believe him, Lu Chen said, "How about this, let's make a bet. If I don't get tired of you, you'll stay by my side forever. As long as you're by my side, I'll go to your room at least once a month. What do you say?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Chen Wanrong's already rosy cheeks turned even redder. She didn't say anything more, nor did she agree to Lu Chen's bet.

Whether Lu Chen is affectionate or not is none of her business. She only plans to have a child with Lu Chen. Once their child grows up, she will return to Xuan Yue Palace to continue her cultivation and wait for her master to finish his seclusion.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't speak, Lu Chen lowered his head and kissed Chen Wanrong's red lips. They kissed deeply for a while. Chen Wanrong didn't push Lu Chen away; she was already used to being intimate with him.

After a while, their lips parted, and Lu Chen said, "I'll go check on the situation on the battlefield first. You continue to rest."

Chen Wanrong gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Lu Chen then got up, put on his clothes, and left the room, heading directly to the battlefield.

At this time, the Northern Kingdom's army was still cleaning up the battlefield in the barbarian camp. Although a night had passed, the soldiers were still busy.

Lu Chen rode his horse around the barbarian camp. At that moment, Mu Changtian and other generals came before Lu Chen and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "How is it?"

Mu Changtian replied, "Except for some barbarian soldiers who fled in the dark, the Tianqi King's army has been basically wiped out by us. The soldiers roughly counted the barbarian soldiers' corpses. Last night, we killed 200,000 enemies and captured 80,000 barbarian soldiers."

Although the Heavenly King's army totaled 400,000, Mu Changtian's report only mentioned 200,000 barbarian soldiers. However, many barbarian soldiers had died in the battles of the previous half month, so this figure was basically consistent with the barbarian army of 400,000.

Of course, it was so dark last night. There must have been barbarian soldiers who escaped under the cover of darkness.

Lu Chen continued, "Send someone to check the hoofprints on the grassland and continue searching for the barbarian soldiers who escaped last night."

Mu Changtian said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, General Wenren and General Xiao have already ordered the cavalry to search for those fleeing barbarian soldiers."

Lu Chen said, "Take me to see those surrendered barbarian prisoners."

Lu Chen was concerned about what the Heavenly King had said before his death last night. He wanted to find some barbarian soldiers to ask about the so-called goddess.

"Your Highness, please follow me."

Mu Changtian then led Lu Chen to the temporary camp where the barbarian prisoners were located.

When Lu Chen appeared at the barbarian prisoners' temporary camp, the barbarian prisoners were filled with fear. They could feel the martial aura emanating from Lu Chen, and some of the slightly stronger barbarian soldiers instantly realized that the young man in front of them was a Grandmaster.

At first, the barbarian soldiers didn't know where their king had gone, so they still held onto a sliver of hope that their king could rescue them. However, when they saw the young grandmaster in front of them, their hearts sank.

The Northern Kingdom has sent Grandmasters this time, and their King has not appeared all night. Does that mean that their King may have met with misfortune?

It's over now.

After glancing at the barbarian prisoners, Lu Chen spotted a barbarian general at the Grandmaster level among the crowd.

This barbarian general is very good at hiding his strength. He currently has almost no martial arts aura and looks just like an ordinary barbarian soldier.

But no matter how he hid, it was useless against Lu Chen, who had a system. Lu Chen immediately said to the barbarian general hiding in the crowd, "Huyan Tong, do you think that by hiding among the barbarian soldiers, no one will recognize you?"

Hearing the young man call his name, Hu Yantong was taken aback. How could anyone in the Northern Kingdom know him?!

No, that young man must be bluffing. He must have learned about Huyan Tong from some barbarian soldier, which is why he said that to the crowd. This young man probably didn't recognize me.

Hu Yantong thought that his physique was no different from that of an ordinary barbarian soldier. In addition, he had cultivated the technique given to him by the goddess, which concealed his martial arts aura. He looked just like an ordinary soldier, and no one could possibly recognize him.

As long as the barbarian soldiers around him don't betray him or identify him, he can get away with it safely. After the young man leaves, he will find a chance to sneak away and tell the goddess what happened in Ningbei City.

Just as Hu Yantong was thinking this, Lu Chen looked at him and chuckled, then raised his hand and used his spiritual power to pull Hu Yantong out of the crowd.

Hu Yantong was completely stunned. He thought the young man was just trying to trick them, but he didn't expect that the young man would actually find him.

Which bastard betrayed him?!

If he finds out, he'll definitely kill that traitor!

Seeing Lu Chen pull out a barbarian soldier who didn't look particularly strong and was wearing tattered fur clothes, Mu Changtian asked curiously, "Your Highness, do you know this person?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "This person is a grandmaster-level general under the Heavenly Revelation King."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian froze on the spot, staring at Hu Yantong in disbelief.

Hu Yantong didn't look like a grandmaster-level general at all. First of all, he didn't have the aura of a martial artist, and secondly, his body wasn't as robust as that of an ordinary barbarian soldier. He looked like a barbarian cannon fodder soldier.

This person is actually a grandmaster-level military general under the Heavenly King?!

After regaining his senses, Mu Changtian frowned. A grandmaster-level general was actually hiding among the barbarian soldiers, pretending to be an ordinary soldier. It was obvious what this person wanted to do. Clearly, this guy was looking for an opportunity to escape.

Fortunately, Lu Chen arrived. If it weren't for Lu Chen, this barbarian grandmaster general might have really succeeded.

Huyan Tong immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "My lord, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Huyan Tong, nor do I know the Huyan Tong you are talking about. If you do not believe me, you can ask the soldiers around me."

Seeing that Huyan Tong looked so afraid of death, completely unlike what a barbarian general should be, Mu Changtian couldn't help but doubt his identity. He said, "Your Highness, could you be mistaken? This guy doesn't look like a barbarian general at all."

Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "Huyan Tong, do you really think that you can hide your martial arts aura and fool my eyes?"

"If you continue to pretend, I will send you down to see your king."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yantong was taken aback.

Should we send him down to see the king?

Does this mean their king is really dead?

Could he have been killed by this young grandmaster?

Upon realizing this, Hu Yantong was filled with fear. He quickly changed his words and said, "I am Hu Yantong, a barbarian general under the Tianqi King. Please spare my life, my lord. You can ask me anything you want to know, and I will tell you everything you ask."

Seeing that Hu Yantong directly admitted his identity, Mu Changtian was speechless. It was the first time he had seen a barbarian general so cowardly, not only hiding among the barbarian soldiers but also not daring to admit his identity.

I never expected that King Tianqi would have such a barbarian general under his command.

Lu Chen asked directly, "When your king died last night, he said that your goddess would seek revenge on me. I am very interested in your goddess. Tell me what kind of woman your goddess is."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Hu Yantong was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Huyan Tong did not answer immediately, Lu Chen continued to ask, "What, as a Grandmaster General, you don't even know about the goddess of your barbarian tribe?"

After regaining his senses, Hu Yantong quickly said, "Of course I know, but I don't know what you want to know about the Goddess?"

Lu Chen then asked, "What is the strength of your goddess?"

Hu Yantong replied, "I don't know about that. I only know that our king is no match for the goddess. She can pin our king to the ground with just one finger."

Upon hearing Hu Yantong's reply, Lu Chen, Mu Changtian, and the others were all taken aback. The Heavenly King was already so powerful, yet the barbarian goddess could still pin him to the ground with just one finger.

How terrifying must those barbarian goddesses be?

Could he be a Celestial Realm expert?

Could it be that the barbarians also have experts at the Celestial Realm?

This is not a good thing for their northern country!

At most, the Northern Kingdom only has three Grandmasters. The difference between a Grandmaster and a Celestial Realm expert is like one being on earth and the other in the heavens. If the barbarian goddess comes knocking, it's hard to say whether the Northern Kingdom can withstand her.
