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

At this moment, Xue Linglong's face showed a forlorn expression, as if she had suffered some great injustice.

At this moment, Lu Chen feigned concern and asked, "Why do you say that, sister-in-law? Is it because brother treats you badly?"

Xue Linglong sighed, "Your brother is completely focused on cultivation and has no interest in women whatsoever. Since I married him, he has never touched me once. Even though he is still in the Northern Kingdom, it's no different from being a widow."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked incredulous. "Is what my sister-in-law said true?"

"So, my sister-in-law is still a virgin?"

Xue Linglong said, "Yes."

At this point, Xue Linglong gazed tenderly into Lu Chen's eyes, "I heard from Zixuan that you are also a martial artist. You are both martial artists, so how come there is such a big difference between you?"

"Your elder brother doesn't touch women, and after practicing martial arts for so many years, he still hasn't broken through to the Grandmaster realm, while you spend every day having fun with your wives and concubines, yet your strength has already surpassed your elder brother's."

"Sigh, your imperial brother is truly useless."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please be careful what you say. If my brother finds out, he will probably be very angry."

Xue Linglong said, "There are only the two of us in this room now. Only you know what I just said. If your brother finds out, it could only be you who said it."

At this point, Xue Linglong walked up to Lu Chen, raised her slender hand, placed it on Lu Chen's chest, and gently stroked his broad chest, saying, "Do you really want to see me get punished by your imperial brother?"

Seeing that Xue Linglong had directly attacked him, Lu Chen chuckled inwardly. This woman had finally lost her temper.

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced at Xue Linglong's favorability rating and found that it was already 90%.

This is not surprising. Xue Linglong has been visiting the Northern Prince's Mansion and Dragon and Phoenix Tea House every day recently, so her favorability towards her has increased rapidly.

Lu Chen pretended to take a step back, then said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Lu Chen was avoiding her, Xue Linglong said, "Ninth Brother, didn't you just say you would help me solve my problems? Why are you so afraid of me now? Are you afraid that your elder brother will find out what happened between us?"

"As long as you don't tell and I don't tell, he'll never know."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Linglong continued to stare into Lu Chen's eyes, relentlessly using her charm to bewitch him and try to make him obey her.

Lu Chen also sensed something was wrong. He noticed that Xue Linglong seemed to be becoming more and more alluring, and his body was becoming increasingly restless. Impulsive images were flashing through his mind.

Lu Chen quickly realized that this must be some kind of seductive technique; the woman had used it on him.

That's interesting...

This is the first time a woman has ever used seductive arts on me; she's really courting death.

At that moment, Xue Linglong approached Lu Chen again, raised her slender hand once more, placed it on Lu Chen's chest, and let it wander over his chest.

"Ninth Brother, I heard from Sister Zixuan that your massage skills are amazing. My stomach has been really uncomfortable lately, could you massage it for me?"

This time, Lu Chen didn't dodge. His expression gradually became somewhat blank. "This...this isn't good..."

Xue Linglong continued seductively, "There's nothing wrong with it, no one will find out."

"Come on, help your sister."

"Come, let's sink into my sister's dream..."

……

At this moment, Lu Chen's eyes were already squinting, and his body looked unsteady.

Xue Linglong was very pleased with herself. Just as she had thought, this man was really easy to win over, falling for her charm so easily.

Xue Linglong then asked with a smile, "Am I pretty, sister?"

Lu Chen murmured, "Beautiful."

Xue Linglong continued, "Compared to your wives and concubines, who is more beautiful, sister?"

Lu Chen replied, "You are more beautiful. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. None of them can compare to you."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Xue Linglong was very satisfied. It seemed that she could take this opportunity to find out more about the secrets of the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong asked, "Tell your sister, where did those mysterious weapons from the Northern Kingdom come from?"

Lu Chen replied, "It was given to me by my master."

Xue Linglong was startled. Master?

He did indeed have someone behind him.

Xue Linglong continued, "Who is your master?"

Lu Chen replied, "My master is a Venerable of the Xuan Yue Palace."

Ok?

Xue Linglong was stunned for a moment. A Venerable of Xuan Yue Palace?

So all of this in the Northern Kingdom was orchestrated by the Xuan Yue Palace? That explains why the Palace Master of the Xuan Yue Palace has been staying in the Northern Kingdom for so long and hasn't left yet. Moreover, the Xuan Yue Palace had already been in contact with the Northern Kingdom for a long time.

It turns out that the Xuan Yue Palace was plotting something...

Xue Linglong's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. No matter what Xuan Yue Palace was planning, Lu Chen should be a very important pawn for Xuan Yue Palace, otherwise Xuan Yue Palace would not have chosen Lu Chen.

Xue Linglong thought that now that she controlled an important pawn of the Xuan Yue Palace, if she accidentally ruined what the Xuan Yue Palace was planning, she wondered what kind of expression those people in the Xuan Yue Palace would have in the end.

Thinking about this, Xue Linglong felt a sense of joy.

She didn't have any direct hatred towards Xuan Yue Palace, but Xuan Yue Palace belonged to the righteous faction, while she belonged to the demonic sect. She was very willing to do anything that could make the righteous faction uncomfortable.

At this moment, Xue Linglong reached out her delicate hand to Lu Chen's handsome, angular face and gently stroked it, saying as she did so, "No wonder he is a suspected chosen one of heaven, he is so handsome."

"It's such a pity to sacrifice them like this."

"I have never used the Heavenly Maiden Technique before, so perhaps..."

Xue Linglong stared intently at Lu Chen's face, and couldn't help but swallow.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit hot.

Xue Linglong instantly realized that she had developed feelings for this man's body.

Xue Linglong was conflicted. This man was to be offered as a sacrifice to their leader. If she did something to him now, and their leader needed the man's body and then possessed him, wouldn't he be very likely to discover what she had done?

Just as Xue Linglong was struggling with her dilemma, she suddenly noticed that Lu Chen had also changed. It seemed that her seductive skills had made this man unable to extricate himself.

Xue Linglong wondered again, if this man was indeed the chosen one in the prophecy of the Taiyin Divine Sect, would it greatly enhance her strength if she could use the Heavenly Maiden Technique to absorb yang energy and replenish yin energy from him?

With so many women, the Northern King's vital energy must have long since vanished, but absorbing some of his yang energy might be of great help to cultivation.

She increased her strength ultimately for the sake of the Taiyin Divine Sect. She believed that even if their sect leader found out what she had done, he would not blame her.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong leaned close to Lu Chen's ear, gently blew a breath, and then asked, "Little brother, would you like to do something fun with your sister?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen became even more agitated. He thought to himself, "This Xue Linglong is so long-winded. Why doesn't she just take action?"

He used to be quick to get to his women and never talked so much. He wanted to just pin her down on the bed.

However, Lu Chen did not intend to do that, because he wanted to make this woman take the initiative, and he wanted to see how far this woman could go.

Lu Chen pretended to swallow hard, then said, "I want to...I want to..."

Xue Linglong then said charmingly, "Then come with me, sister."

With that, Xue Linglong walked toward the bed, thinking to herself, "I hope Mu Zixuan doesn't cause any trouble at this time."

The thought of Mu Zixuan possibly returning made Xue Linglong feel guilty.

However, she suddenly thought of a solution.

"Little brother, if you want to do something fun with your sister, then send your queen away and don't let her bother us again."

Lu Chen instantly understood Xue Linglong's meaning, so he said to the maid at the door, "Xiao Qing, tell the princess to wait for me in the study. If I don't come to the study, just keep waiting for me and tell her not to come here again. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."

A maid's voice immediately came from the doorway, "Yes, Your Highness."

After the maid left, Xue Linglong was overjoyed, knowing that no one could bother her now.

Now I can figure out how to use the Heavenly Maiden Skill.

Although she had long cultivated the Heavenly Maiden Technique and knew how to replenish yin by absorbing yang, she had never actually practiced it. If she hadn't seen how handsome the Northern King was, she wouldn't have had such thoughts.

Of course, this was just Xue Linglong's inner thought. She believed that her desire to use the Heavenly Maiden Technique on Lu Chen was entirely her own true feeling. She was completely unaware that she had been influenced by Lu Chen in return.

Lu Chen's influence on Xue Linglong is twofold. On the one hand, Xue Linglong has been drinking Dragon and Phoenix Tea for a long time. On the other hand, Lu Chen has long since mastered the art of mind control, which allows him to manipulate the thoughts of people with lower cultivation levels than himself to a certain extent.

Mind control is somewhat similar to seduction, but seduction can only be used between opposite sexes, while mind control can be used on anyone, even non-humans.

Just now, when Xue Linglong used her seductive skills on Lu Chen, Lu Chen was actually using mind control on Xue Linglong.

Xue Linglong has now fallen for the trap, but she is completely unaware of it. This is related to her deepest thoughts, because she has long coveted Lu Chen's body, so even though she has fallen for the trap, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with her.

Xue Linglong was already impatient. She pushed Lu Chen onto the bed, then used her inner strength to tear his clothes to shreds. But at that moment, Xue Linglong froze in shock. (End of Chapter)
