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

Chapter 351 Is Emperor Yue a Celestial Being?

After Lu Chen said that, Murong Xue'er felt extremely ashamed.

This despicable man, although she was humiliated by him, she couldn't say anything. After all, Lu Chen hadn't done anything today; he had just been lying there.

After a long while, unable to bear the humiliation any longer, Murong Xue'er finally chose to utterly degenerate. She sneered and said, "What, have I disappointed the Prince?"

"That's just the kind of woman I am. If Your Highness doesn't like a shameless woman like me, just stop asking me to practice calligraphy in the future."

Murong Xue'er was angry because she felt ashamed.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Are you angry out of embarrassment? Don't you think about it? If I don't have you practice calligraphy, how will you get information from the Northern Prince's Mansion in the future?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er was taken aback.

Indeed, if Lu Chen doesn't like her and doesn't seek her out, she might be abandoned by the Emperor Yue in the future, and then she would have nowhere to go.

What a hateful man!

Murong Xue'er felt that she was completely under this man's control.

Murong Xue'er then asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

Lu Chen gazed into Murong Xue'er's eyes and said, "Great talent, it's not about what I want, but what you want. Ask yourself, can you still live without me?"

At this point, Lu Chen leaned down and kissed Murong Xue'er's red lips, this time it was Lu Chen's turn to take the initiative.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er's mind was in complete chaos. She was still very confused and didn't know which way to go in the future.

She realized that she couldn't live without Lu Chen, but she didn't trust him. In her opinion, Lu Chen slept with her because she was indeed quite attractive, and also because of her status. Lu Chen wanted to use her to achieve some goals, and she was just a pawn in his game.

As a pawn, she will eventually be abandoned, just like she was with Emperor Yue.

If Emperor Yue knew that she had no control over Lu Chen, he would definitely abandon her.

Between the Emperor Yue and the Prince of the North, Murong Xue'er saw no future for herself.

The most terrifying thing is that she actually fell in love with the bad man, the Northern King.

Her previous actions had made her realize that she was completely infatuated with the Northern King.

After an unknown amount of time, the sunset glow on the horizon gradually faded, and the whole world was plunged into the blackness of the night.

Lu Chen slowly stood up, gazing at Murong Xue'er's alluring face. He was about to speak when Murong Xue'er interrupted him.

"I'm just a pawn in your game, aren't I?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled. "To be honest, you are indeed very useful to me, but I have never regarded you as a pawn."

"Rather than treating you as a pawn, I prefer to make you my possession, my collectible."

Murong Xue'er said weakly, "The rumors are true, you are indeed a lecherous man."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Didn't you already know that?"

Murong Xue'er fell silent. Lu Chen continued, "So, how about it? Do you want to marry into the Northern Prince's mansion and become my true woman?"

"Anyway, you can't go back now."

Murong Xue'er said, "I could never marry you, even though the Emperor Yue has already abandoned me."

Lu Chen asked, "Why is that?"

Murong Xue'er said directly, "You have too many women; one day you'll get tired of them."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "The women in my Prince's Mansion all have this worry before they enter the manor, but after a while, they will no longer be anxious about it."

Murong Xue'er continued, "Your ambition is too great. One day, you will become the overlord of the world, and your women will only be able to live their whole lives confined in the palace."

Murong Xue'er wasn't stupid. Having stayed in the Northern Kingdom for so long, she had long felt its rapid development and strength.

As a ruler, the Northern King does have a major flaw: he is too lustful. However, this flaw will not prevent Lu Chen from becoming a world-dominating overlord.

The battle between Da Wu and the Northern Kingdom has demonstrated the strength of the Northern Kingdom and exposed the ambitions of the Northern King.

Murong Xue'er had a premonition that the Northern King would eventually unify several dynasties. Although there were many uncertainties in the future, she had great confidence in her judgment.

Lu Chen said, "I don't recall ever restricting my women from leaving the palace?"

Murong Xue'er said, "Now is now, and later is later."

At this point, Murong Xue'er looked into your eyes and said, "I don't care what you're thinking, I want to make one last deal with you."

Lu Chen asked, "What kind of deal?"

Murong Xue'er said, "I can betray Emperor Yue and help you gather intelligence about Dayue, but if one day you destroy the Dayue Dynasty, you must give me my freedom and let me leave."

Murong Xue'er also understood that she could no longer live without this man, and she did not believe that Lu Chen would truly like her, so she simply treated everything as a transaction.

Hearing Murong Xue'er's words, Lu Chen smiled. Murong Xue'er's favorability towards him had long been over 100%.

Unfortunately, despite the goodwill rating, Murong Xue'er didn't trust him or believe he would develop feelings for her. He hadn't given Murong Xue'er a sense of security.

However, just because he doesn't feel safe now doesn't mean he won't feel safe in the future. Lu Chen believes that as long as Murong Xue'er stays by his side for a long time, she will eventually trust him.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said to Murong Xue'er, "Okay, I promise you."

Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Murong Xue'er finally felt relieved. She had been struggling with what to do recently, but now that she had spoken her mind, she felt incredibly relaxed.

As for betraying Emperor Yue, it was something she had no choice but to do. Although Emperor Yue had protected her for so many years, she was ultimately just a pawn in his game and would be abandoned by him one day. She wanted to have her own life, not a life as a pawn.

As for whether Lu Chen will ultimately abide by their deal, we'll only know when that time comes; in any case, she didn't have much hope for Lu Chen.

Murong Xue'er then said, "Emperor Yue is a celestial being. If you want to annex Great Yue in the future, then your Northern Kingdom must also have a celestial being expert."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned. This news was indeed too explosive for Lu Chen. If he remembered correctly, Yue Huang was only in her thirties this year. How could she be a celestial being?

After regaining his senses, Lu Chen asked, "You're not lying to me, are you? She's only in her thirties. How can someone that age become a celestial being?"

Murong Xue'er said, "You are not even twenty years old yet and you have already reached the Grandmaster level. Compared to Emperor Yue, Your Highness's martial arts talent is even more terrifying."

"Both you and Yuehuang have great ambitions. Although your current cultivation level is lower than Yuehuang's, given enough time, your strength will definitely surpass Yuehuang's in the future. With your current rate of improvement, it is not impossible for you to break through to the Celestial Realm before the age of thirty."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "So you think highly of me."

Murong Xue'er continued expressionlessly, "I don't know if there are any Celestial Realm experts in the Northern Kingdom. If there are no Celestial Realm experts in the Northern Kingdom, and my Guardian Mark is indeed a curse mark used to control you, then you'd better pretend to be controlled by me and temporarily treat me as Emperor Yue's pawn."

Lu Chen instantly understood Murong Xue'er's meaning. If there were no Celestial Realm experts in the Northern Kingdom, and Murong Xue'er was unable to control herself, then Emperor Yue might personally come to the Northern Kingdom to eliminate this huge threat.

Therefore, since there are no Celestials in the Northern Kingdom, pretending to be controlled by Murong Xue'er before he breaks through to the Celestial level is indeed a way to avoid being attacked by Emperor Yue.

only……

Lu Chen smiled faintly, then said, "I don't have the habit of being someone else's pawn."

Hearing Lu Chen's words and seeing the nonchalant smile on his face, Murong Xue'er immediately guessed something. "It seems that your Northern Kingdom already has a Celestial Being."

She had already told Lu Chen that the Emperor Yue was a celestial being, but Lu Chen was still not afraid at all. This could only mean that there were celestial beings in the Northern Kingdom, which was why Lu Chen dared not take the Emperor Yue seriously.

Lu Chen then said, "You're not going to tell me fake information and then try to trick me, are you?"

"Is Emperor Yue truly a celestial being?"

Lu Chen didn't disbelieve Murong Xue'er's words; he could see that Murong Xue'er had completely sided with him. However, he still had some doubts.

If the Moon Emperor were truly a celestial being, wouldn't it be easy for her to control herself after coming all the way to the Northern Kingdom? Would she need to send Murong Xue'er to use her beauty to cast a spell on her?

Murong Xue'er said calmly, "I have already told you about Emperor Yue's strength. Whether you believe it or not is your business."

Murong Xue'er was still a little upset. She had already made up her mind to stand on Lu Chen's side, but this man didn't believe her.

If you don't believe me, then so be it.

Lu Chen also sensed the emotion in Murong Xue'er's tone. He smiled and then said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have questioned you."

Lu Chen thought to himself that it was possible that Murong Xue'er only thought that Emperor Yue was a celestial being, but in reality, Emperor Yue was not a true celestial being, or that Emperor Yue was a pseudo-celestial being like him.

In any case, it's a bit of an exaggeration that people in this world are already considered celestial beings in their thirties.

If it were true, Lu Chen would even suspect that Yue Huang was from his hometown.

Of course, if the Empress Yue is truly a celestial being, then it's understandable that she wouldn't eliminate the threat from the Northern Kingdom and instead choose to let Murong Xue'er control her.

This perfectly illustrates that Emperor Yue is an ambitious person, and quite ambitious at that, which also corresponds to what Murong Xue'er said earlier that both Lu Chen and Emperor Yue have great ambitions.
