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

Chapter 350 This is your illusion

Seeing that Murong Xue'er wanted to leave, Lu Chen grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Murong Xue'er didn't struggle. At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Practice? Why don't you practice? It's been a long time since I practiced calligraphy. My handwriting is getting uglier and uglier. I should practice properly."

At this point, Lu Chen put his arm around Murong Xue'er's delicate body and walked towards the rest room, saying with a smile as they went, "Miss Murong's body is getting softer and softer."

Upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Murong Xue'er's cold face. She tried hard to control her emotions and not let Lu Chen's words lead her astray.

Before long, the two arrived at the rest room. Lu Chen gently placed Murong Xue'er on the bed and then gently pressed down on her. However, Lu Chen did not rush to undress.

He gazed at Murong Xue'er's cold and beautiful face, which was flushed with a hint of red, and said with a smile, "Miss Murong, I feel that our deal is not worthwhile."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er was somewhat confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Chen said, "Think about it. You made a deal with me, and I provided you with the most confidential intelligence from the North, while you only had to accompany me to practice calligraphy."

"Although it looks like a transaction, every time we practice calligraphy, I expend both physical and mental energy, while you end up being the one who makes me feel comfortable. Don't you think this kind of transaction is fair?"

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er was stunned. This shameless Northern King actually took advantage of the situation and then claimed that he was the one who lost out.

Although she was somewhat emotional, Murong Xue'er didn't argue with Lu Chen directly. She simply said coldly, "What else do you want?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Since it's a transaction, then naturally you should be serving me, not the other way around."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er was startled. She seemed to understand something, and her cheeks immediately became extremely hot.

Murong Xue'er then said, "How can I serve you while you practice calligraphy?"

Lu Chen was actually writing, not just doing certain things.

At this moment, Lu Chen whispered in Murong Xue'er's ear, "You should know that I'm not talking about practicing calligraphy. Although I do need to practice calligraphy, we can stop practicing all the time."

"You..." Murong Xue'er hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Just as Lu Chen said, although he would write on her body, he didn't do it all the time. They spent most of their time doing other things, so it wasn't impossible for her to serve him.

However, she grew up in the Dayue Palace and had only ever served the Emperor Yue. She had never served a man before, and now that she was suddenly asked to serve a man, she had no idea what to do.

Seeing that Murong Xue'er remained silent, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You're unwilling?"

"If you don't want to, then you can go back today."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "Okay."

Although she didn't know what to do, she had been to the Prince's mansion many times and had done many bad things with Lu Chen in this room, so she had some experience.

She was worried that if she didn't agree to Lu Chen's demands, he might stop trading with her in the future, and it would be much harder to get information about the Northern Kingdom from him. So she had to meet all of Lu Chen's conditions.

Thinking of this, Murong Xue'er said, "You...you get up first."

Seeing that Murong Xue'er agreed, Lu Chen smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied. Then, Lu Chen got up, took off his shoes, and lay down to the side.

Seeing Lu Chen lying stiffly on the bed, staring straight at her, Murong Xue'er felt somewhat at a loss.

The previous times she came to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen was in charge of everything. She did almost nothing from beginning to end. This time, she was asked to serve Lu Chen. How could she possibly know how to serve this shameless guy?

Seeing that Murong Xue'er was only looking at him, Lu Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

Murong Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up, took off her embroidered shoes, and raised her slender hands to begin undressing Lu Chen.

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "So eager?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er stopped what she was doing and then asked, "What does Your Highness think I should do?"

Murong Xue'er had no idea what to do, so she could only help Lu Chen undress, but the guy actually said he was in a hurry.

We're already in bed, what else can we do if we don't undress? This wicked thing is just teasing me, isn't it?

Lu Chen said, "Besides undressing, there are actually many other things we can do."

At this point, Lu Chen raised his hand, grabbed Murong Xue'er's wrist, and pulled her body down so that she lay on top of him. Then, while instructing her on what to do with her hands, Lu Chen kissed Murong Xue'er's red lips.

Seeing Lu Chen kiss her, Murong Xue'er couldn't help but think that it was unnecessary.

Since this wicked thing has its own ideas, why make her serve him? Why not just do what he wants?

Although Murong Xue'er was a little upset, Lu Chen's kiss quickly made her forget all the unpleasantness from before.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen raised his arms, supported himself on Murong Xue'er's fragrant shoulders, and lifted her body up. Their lips then parted.

Murong Xue'er's eyes were misty, and she seemed somewhat dazed. Clearly, she was already in the zone and had not expected Lu Chen to push her away at this moment.

Lu Chen looked into her eyes and said with a smile, "The master leads you in, but the cultivation depends on the individual. From now on, it's up to you. Do whatever you think you should do."

Murong Xue'er paused for a moment, then began to undress Lu Chen again, this time with obvious urgency.

This time, Lu Chen didn't stop her. With Murong Xue'er's guidance, she finally completed the initial task of serving people.

Lu Chen had originally planned to practice calligraphy, but Murong Xue'er didn't give him the chance at all; Murong Xue'er seemed to be bewitched.

……

at the same time.

Youping County.

Mu Changtian is currently deploying defenses in Lingyun City. They have already heard about the defeat of the main force of Da Wu, and the Northern King has also told them in his latest military order to find a way to intercept the main force retreating to Da Wu.

Mu Changtian felt a lot of pressure at this moment. According to intelligence, there seemed to be two Grandmasters among the main force of Da Wu, while they did not have any Grandmasters. Only Wenren Lie was slightly stronger. Although they had firearms, killing a Grandmaster was not something that could be done with just firearms.

Standing atop the city wall, Mu Changtian gazed at the distant forest, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Just then, Wenren Lie arrived at the city wall, and Mu Changtian asked, "General Wenren, are you confident in dealing with a Grandmaster?"

Wenren Lie said calmly, "Yes."

Hearing Wenren Lie's calm tone, Mu Changtian could only smile bitterly to himself. All the soldiers who came from the north were similar to Wenren Lie; they were always very confident, no matter the situation. He wondered where their confidence came from.

Wenren Lie seemed to sense what Mu Changtian was worried about, so he asked directly, "General Mu, are you worried that we are no match for those two Grandmaster-level generals?"

Mu Changtian replied directly, "Yes, even with cannons, it would be difficult to break through a Grandmaster's protective aura."

"We are only at the Grandmaster level, so it would be very difficult for us to kill a Great Grandmaster."

Wenren Lie said without any worry, "General Mu, don't worry. The prince ordered us to hold this position and not let the remnants of Da Wu retreat. He will definitely send strong men."

Upon hearing Wenren Lie's words, Mu Changtian was taken aback.

Yes, the Northern King participated in the battle against the Heavenly Revelation King. He couldn't possibly be unaware that a Grandmaster could withstand artillery fire. He must have known very well that a Grandmaster was no match for a Great Grandmaster, so he would definitely send someone.

However, it's unclear who he sent.

Mu Changtian thought for a moment and realized that there were not many Grandmasters in the Northern Kingdom. Apart from Zhuge Chongguang, the only other Grandmaster he knew was the Northern King. However, as a vassal king, the Northern King would certainly not go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

Could it be that the person sent by the Northern King this time is Zhuge Chongguang?

If there's only one Grandmaster, it's uncertain whether he could be a match for Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen.

Just as Mu Changtian was thinking this, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past him, and the next moment, he vaguely sensed that someone had appeared beside them.

Mu Changtian quickly turned his head and said warily, "Who's there!"

As soon as Mu Changtian finished speaking, he saw Wenren Lie bow to the old man who had suddenly appeared, "My lord, you have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian was taken aback. He glanced at the old man in front of him. He had seen this person before at the Northern Prince's Mansion, but since he was mostly in the military camp, he didn't know much about him, only that he was from the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Mu Changtian felt somewhat puzzled. He did not sense any martial arts aura from the old man, as if he were just an ordinary person. However, judging from Wenren Lie calling the old man "sir," it proved that the old man's strength was likely above Wenren Lie's.

Mu Changtian was puzzled. Even if a Grandmaster concealed his aura, he should still be able to sense a faint martial artist's presence. Moreover, this person had suddenly appeared on the city wall, and he hadn't even seen how this person got up there.

What kind of strength must this person possess to suddenly appear in front of them?

At this moment, Wenren Lie looked at Mu Changtian and said, "General Mu probably doesn't know Lord Xuanyuan yet. Let me introduce him to you. Lord Xuanyuan was originally the city lord of Dayu City. Later, the prince sent Lord Xuanyuan to Yancheng to be in charge of the road construction in the northern country."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian was taken aback. So this person was the city lord of Dayu City. No wonder Wenren Lie called him "sir".

Wenren Lie came from Dayu City and used to be a subordinate of the city lord of Dayu City, so he should indeed be addressed as "Sir".

Mu Changtian then looked at Xuan Yuan Chaoge and asked, "Senior Xuan Yuan, if I may be so bold as to ask, are you a Grandmaster?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge did not answer directly, but said calmly, "General Mu, rest assured, there is a reason why His Majesty sent me here."

Although Xuanyuan Chaoge did not answer directly, Mu Changtian could tell from Xuanyuan Chaoge's tone that Xuanyuan Chaoge did not take the two Grandmaster generals seriously at all. Mu Changtian couldn't help but think that this person's strength was even greater than he had imagined.

Could it be... a celestial being?

Thinking of this, Mu Changtian felt incredibly excited. If this old man was truly a celestial being, then the two Grandmaster generals of the Great Wu would be nothing to fear.

The strength of a Celestial Being is like that of a Celestial Being in the heavens, while that of a Grandmaster is like that of an Earthly Being. Even ten Grandmasters combined might not be a match for a Celestial Being.

However, if there are celestial beings in the North, why doesn't the Northern King let people know? Wasn't the Northern King's original intention in having Zhuge Chongguang impersonate a celestial being to intimidate the various dynasties?

If there were celestial beings in the North, why would there be a need for Zhuge Chongguang to impersonate them?

Is it...

Was this old man a celestial being who later broke through to become a celestial being?

Mu Changtian then recalled that Lu Chen had taken the initiative to clarify that Zhuge Chongguang was not a celestial being some time ago.

The Northern King took the initiative to clarify that Zhuge Chongguang was not a celestial being, which directly led the Great Wu to decide to send troops to attack the Northern Kingdom. If the Northern Kingdom had a celestial being, the Great Wu would certainly not have dared to take the initiative to attack the Northern Kingdom.

Mu Changtian instantly understood that the Northern King's Mansion took the initiative to clarify that Zhuge Chongguang was not a Celestial Being. On the one hand, they wanted to lure other dynasties to send troops to the Northern Kingdom. On the other hand, the Northern Kingdom already had a true Celestial Being and no longer needed Zhuge Chongguang to continue pretending to be a Celestial Being.

Mu Changtian couldn't help but think, "So that's how it is." He had initially thought that the Northern King's Mansion had taken the initiative to clarify that Zhuge Chongguang was not a celestial being because the Northern King felt that their Northern Kingdom had grown up and was no longer afraid of other dynasties. He hadn't expected that the Northern King's true confidence lay in this old man.

Mu Changtian couldn't help but admire Lu Chen once again.

He had really misjudged the Northern King back then, thinking he was just a spoiled prince. He never expected the Northern King to be so powerful that even the Heavenly People were willing to serve as his subordinates.

Mu Changtian felt a sense of relief at the same time; it seemed that Heaven was determined to revitalize the Mu family.

……

At this moment.

Murong Xue'er was still serving Lu Chen according to her own understanding. Although it was called serving, Lu Chen realized that Murong Xue'er was only doing it to satisfy her own desires.

Lu Chen chuckled inwardly, then raised his hands and forcefully grabbed Murong Xue'er's buttocks to prevent her from moving around.

After being restrained by Lu Chen, Murong Xue'er was stunned. She tried to twist her body to break free from Lu Chen's grasp, but Lu Chen was a pseudo-celestial being, and Murong Xue'er was no match for him.

After Murong Xue'er was unable to move, she felt extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, Murong Xue'er slightly raised her upper body and looked down at Lu Chen.

Her eyes were misty with tears, and her face was alluring. "What...what are you doing..."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "I asked you here to practice calligraphy. How am I supposed to write if you're like this?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er twisted her body, trying again to break free from Lu Chen's hand.

Murong Xue'er said, "Practicing calligraphy... I'll practice it later..."

Murong Xue'er was extremely anxious about what calligraphy she should practice at this time.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Call me husband, and I'll let you go."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Murong Xue'er cried out in shame, "Husband...husband..."

Lu Chen kept his promise and released Murong Xue'er, letting her do as she pleased.

It was evening.

Murong Xue'er lay on the bed, her face expressionless.

Lu Chen, lying next to Murong Xue'er, turned to his side, then raised his hand and gently stroked Murong Xue'er's cheek, asking with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't do anything inappropriate to you today, so why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Of course, Lu Chen hadn't done anything inappropriate to her, because she had been in control of everything all day.

She never imagined she would become like that.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er gritted her teeth and cursed herself in her heart.

She's such a shameless woman!

In the past, when she came to the Prince's mansion, she could tolerate her shameless behavior, because she was forced by this man. She was the oppressed party and had no way to resist.

But today is different; everything is my own initiative.

She couldn't understand how she had become like that. Could it be that she was inherently a shameless woman?

After a long pause, Murong Xue'er spoke coldly, "I apologize for interrupting Your Highness's calligraphy practice today. If Your Highness wishes to practice calligraphy again, you can send someone to find me. I will return home now."

At this point, Murong Xue'er prepared to get up, dress, and leave the Northern Prince's residence, feeling utterly humiliated.

In the Northern King's mind, she was probably no different from the prostitutes in brothels.

However, just as Murong Xue'er was about to get up, Lu Chen flipped over and pinned her down. Then, Lu Chen raised his chest, placed his hands on either side of Murong Xue'er's head, and looked down at her panicked eyes.

"Xue'er, I noticed something today, I don't know if you've noticed it too? You seem to be taking more initiative than I am?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er's cheeks turned even redder and hotter, as if they were about to steam.

Murong Xue'er then retorted, "That's your misconception."

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, then he reached out and lifted Murong Xue'er's chin, staring intently into her beautiful eyes. Being stared at so directly by Lu Chen's deep eyes made Murong Xue'er even more flustered.

She understood why this man wanted her to serve him today. The reason was simple: he wanted to humiliate her and make her see clearly what kind of woman she really was.

Without a doubt, Lu Chen succeeded. She felt like she was a person controlled by desire, no different from an animal, completely unable to control her inner desires.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Is it just my imagination?"

At this point, Lu Chen didn't continue speaking, but just kept looking into Murong Xue'er's eyes.

Murong Xue'er kept avoiding Lu Chen's gaze, and after a while...

Lu Chen continued to tease, "I never expected that the most famous talented woman of Dayue, the inner palace prime minister, would turn out like that in my bed."
