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

Chapter 28 It Was You

Upon hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen showed no sign of unease.

He had already read the information from Wang Qingci's personal profile that Blood Moon Tower had sent someone to assassinate him.

However, he did not expect that Blood Moon Tower would send so many ninth-rank martial artists to kill him.

Wasn't it said that there were very few ninth-rank martial artists in this world? How come there are ninth-rank martial artists everywhere now? Is it really okay to send five ninth-rank martial artists just to assassinate a useless prince like myself?

If he didn't have the system, he would probably be dead for sure.

Seeing that Lu Chen showed no sign of worry, Wang Qingci thought to himself, "Sure enough, the Northern King has grown strong enough that he is not afraid of the Blood Moon Tower assassins at all."

Lu Chen then came up behind Wang Qingci, put his hands under her armpits, wrapped them around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear with a smile, "It seems you've made your choice."

"However, you've betrayed my eighth brother like this. Aren't you afraid he'll send someone to kill you?"

Wang Qingci said coquettishly, "Isn't this all caused by Your Highness? I am your woman now, and I can't live without you. I have no choice, what can I do?"

"I only hope that Your Highness will cherish me in the future and not treat me like a tool to be used and then discarded."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Of course."

At this point, Lu Chen rested his head on Wang Qingci's fragrant shoulder, inhaling her scent to his heart's content.

Lu Chen was calculating in his mind that the Blood Moon Tower people would be arriving in a few days. Although he had a Desert Eagle and a Barrett, if there were many of them and someone was holding him back, he was afraid that he would be in danger as soon as he took out his weapons.

Therefore, he must increase his own strength.

Ideally, one should break through to the ninth rank of martial artist within these few days, as the physical abilities of a ninth-rank martial artist will be greatly enhanced in all aspects.

Even if the Blood Moon Tower assassins are very fast, with the help of their own ninth-rank strength, Desert Eagle and Bartley can still kill them as easily as killing chickens.

However, while weapons are useful, you still need to stay alive. If someone suddenly attacks you and your senses aren't sharp enough, even if you have the ability to kill an enemy with a single shot, you might still be taken care of by the enemy beforehand.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked the system in his mind, "System, how much experience is needed to upgrade the Qi Refining Technique to the second level?"

The system's voice then rang in Lu Chen's mind.

[One hundred more experience points are needed.]

Hearing this, Lu Chen was overjoyed. He only needed 100 more experience points to level up to the second level?

So fast?

Lu Chen then asked, "After upgrading the Qi Refining Technique to the second level, will my cultivation level be able to break through to the seventh rank?"

Lu Chen's question was a bit conservative. He originally thought that if he could break through to the second level of the Qi Refining Technique, his strength would probably be able to break through to the ninth rank.

Just then, the system voice sounded.

[After the Qi Refining Technique is upgraded to the second level, the host's cultivation level will rise to the ninth rank.]

Lu Chen was somewhat excited. Just as he had expected, he had indeed been promoted to the ninth rank.

However, the Qi Refining Technique is just a Qi refining technique, mainly used to increase his internal strength, and has no actual destructive power.

He will still need to find a way to acquire a powerful external martial arts technique in the future.

At this moment, Wang Qingci, who was being held by Lu Chen, sensed something was wrong with Lu Chen's body.

Wang Qingci's fair complexion instantly turned rosy, and then a blush spread from her face to her collarbone and neck.

At this moment, Lu Chen whispered in Wang Qingci's ear, "From now on, you are my slave girl. As a slave girl, do you know what you should do for your master?"

Hearing this question, Wang Qingci was slightly stunned. She had been toyed with by this guy all afternoon, and she didn't expect him to still have energy at night.

How could the Northern King have such strong physical abilities!

Wang Qingci was somewhat astonished. She had been in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion for so long, but she had never heard of any man as fierce as the Northern King.

Wang Qingci then said, "Your Highness, I only came to deliver a message. Now that the message has been delivered, I will return now."

At this point, Wang Qingci turned halfway around, intending to push Lu Chen away and leave, only to find that her power had vanished again. She suddenly felt powerless and was unable to push Lu Chen away at all.

Lu Chen then put his arm around Wang Qingci and walked to the bedside.

Now he needs to hurry up and gain experience points for the Qi Refining Technique; he can't let Wang Qingci get away like this.

Wang Qingci finally sighed, feeling somewhat lost. After becoming the Northern King's slave girl, she didn't know what the future held.

Filled with uncertainty about the future, Wang Qingci quickly became immersed in the happiness that Lu Chen brought her.

at the same time.

Outside the courtyard.

After the woman in black entered Lu Chen's room, Chu Yuqin stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard.

If anything happened inside the room, she would rush in immediately; she still didn't trust the woman in black.

That's a ninth-rank martial artist!

She didn't believe that the woman in black had no ulterior motives in approaching the Northern King.

But just then, Chu Yuqin heard a woman's cheerful voice coming from inside the room.

Chu Yuqin's mind went blank for a moment.

This……

"That ninth-rank martial artist is actually Chen'er's woman?"

Ninth-rank martial artists are relatively rare in this world, and ninth-rank women are even rarer.

As a ninth-rank martial artist, the woman in black was actually willing to become the woman of a nominally useless prince, which Chu Yuqin found extremely unbelievable.

Chu Yuqin was a little curious as to why this woman would choose Lu Chen.

……

The next morning.

Wang Qingci limped out of Lu Chen's room, only to bump into Chu Yuqin, who was still at the courtyard gate.

Upon seeing that it was Wang Qingci who came out of the room, Chu Yuqin's face darkened, and she said coldly, "It's you!"

A ninth-rank martial artist running to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to become a courtesan, and even trying to get close to the Northern King—who would believe there wasn't some conspiracy involved?

As a maidservant to Lu Chen's mother, Chu Yuqin had seen all sorts of schemes and plots, so she believed that Wang Qingci must have some ulterior motives towards Lu Chen.

Wang Qingci was also taken aback when he saw that Chu Yuqin was still there.

In the end, Chu Yuqin refrained from making a move, after all, Lu Chen had already said that Wang Qingci was his person.

However, Chu Yuqin still coldly warned, "Although I don't know who you are, I must remind you that if I find out you have designs on Chen'er and want to use him to achieve your ulterior motives, not only you, but the forces behind you will pay the price!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingci smiled slightly and then said, "Madam Chu, why do I feel that you are very hostile towards me? Could it be that you were eavesdropping all night and got jealous?"

As soon as Wang Qingci finished speaking, a gust of wind spread out from Chu Yuqin's body, blowing up her skirt.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qingci's smile vanished instantly.

He's a half-step Grandmaster, and has even reached the point of projecting his internal energy outwards!

The Northern Prince's Mansion was indeed not as simple as she had thought.

Then Wang Qingci turned and left, saying, "Madam Chu, I'll be going back now. Please rest assured, Madam Chu, I'm just the prince's slave girl, and I can't shake your position in the prince's heart."
