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

After confirming that her charm technique might not have failed, Xue Linglong decided to try to approach Lu Chen again.

What if Lu Chen is really as she thinks, afraid to approach her because of guilt? And if she doesn't take the initiative to contact Lu Chen, wouldn't their relationship never develop further?

So she still needs to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong said to Mu Zixuan, "Perhaps Ninth Brother has recently taken a fancy to another woman from that family, which is why he's so distraught."

Mu Zixuan said, "What Sister Xue said is possible. However, given the Prince's status and position in the Northern Kingdom, if he takes a fancy to a woman from that family, he should be able to marry her easily. There is no need for him to be so worried."

Xue Linglong said, "I don't know. Perhaps that woman isn't from the Northern Kingdom."

"By the way, Zixuan, I'd like to ask you for a favor. I wonder if that's possible?"

Mu Zixuan feigned curiosity and asked, "What kind of busyness? Sister Xue, please tell me."

Xue Linglong said, "I want to meet with Ninth Brother and ask about the Crown Prince. He hasn't written to me in a long time, and I've been feeling like something's happening these past few nights, so I haven't been able to sleep."

Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "That's easy, I'll just have my maid tell the prince."

At this point, Mu Zixuan directly said to the maid beside her, "Xiao Rou, go and see what the Prince is doing in his study. If he's not busy, tell him that your sister-in-law wants to ask him about the Crown Prince's situation."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The maid then left the courtyard and went to the study.

Lu Chen was handling official business in his study when he heard from a maid that Xue Linglong wanted to see him. Lu Chen smiled slightly and had the maid bring Xue Linglong to his study.

Since this vixen has come to him again, he's going to teach her a lesson.

Not long after, Xue Linglong appeared in the study. Upon seeing Xue Linglong, Lu Chen instructed the maid to immediately leave and close the study door. Soon after, only Lu Chen and Xue Linglong remained in the study.

Lu Chen's expression was somewhat complicated. He said to Xue Linglong, "Sister-in-law, about that day..."

Lu Chen hesitated, then stopped speaking.

Seeing Lu Chen's guilty expression, Xue Linglong's lips curled up slightly. She swayed her hips as she walked towards Lu Chen, saying as she went, "Ninth Brother, it was my own choice. Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, no one will know what happened that day."

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Xue Linglong came to Lu Chen. She raised her slender hand and placed it on Lu Chen's broad chest, then leaned against him.

When she entered the study and saw Lu Chen's handsome face, she felt a surge of restlessness. All she wanted to do was relive what happened last time with Lu Chen.

"Ninth Brother, when did you become so timid? Haven't you always been lusting after my body?"

"Back then, in front of your elder brother, your eyes were fixed on my body. Now that things have happened, why are you suddenly worried about this and that?"

"Why worry about those things? Anyway, your brother is still in Heyang County, and he won't be back anytime soon."

As Xue Linglong spoke, she began to grope Lu Chen. Her slender hands slowly moved down from Lu Chen's chest, making her look like a wanton woman.

Lu Chen chuckled inwardly. He hadn't expected this vixen to be so proactive.

Few of his women are this proactive anymore. Wang Qingci used to be very proactive, but after a while, she became less so. Now, Wang Qingci has lost some of her alluring charm and gained more of the poise of a mature woman.

After all, she's already a married woman and has children, so it's perfectly normal for her demeanor to change.

Lu Chen grabbed Xue Linglong's wrist, then put his arm around her slender waist, pressed her body against the desk, and looked into her captivating peach blossom eyes, saying, "You are truly an unfaithful woman. The Crown Prince has only been gone for a short time, and you've already come to seduce me."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong said with a smile, "Ninth Brother says one thing, but his actions don't reflect that. It seems Ninth Brother is quite the hypocrite!"

Lu Chen sneered and said, "If you're trying to seduce me like this, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Xue Linglong said, "Come on, I'm all ready. Let's forget all those rules and regulations and immerse ourselves in happiness."

At this moment, Xue Linglong's eyes emitted a purple light, and she once again bewitched Lu Chen.

However, this time she did not completely control Lu Chen. She just wanted to arouse Lu Chen's desire and make him do the same thing to her as last time.

Lu Chen naturally sensed it too, and he immediately lowered his head and sealed Xue Linglong's red lips with his.

After kissing Lu Chen for a while, Xue Linglong felt her body becoming excited.

Xue Linglong thought to herself, "That's exactly the feeling. I have to admit, this troublemaker is indeed quite capable."

The two kissed for a while before entering the study's rest room.

Xue Linglong used the Heavenly Maiden Technique on Lu Chen again, but just like last time, her mind quickly went blank, and Lu Chen took control of everything.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen didn't go back to Fengyun Courtyard for dinner again tonight.

When the night is quiet and everyone is deep in the night.

Yun Xianxian sat cross-legged on her bed, and then, as if sensing something, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The next moment, a small blue bird flew in through the window and landed on Yun Xianxian's hand. Yun Xianxian immediately took off the note tied to the bird's leg and looked at it.

Upon seeing the contents of the note, Yun Xianxian snorted coldly, and then the entire room was frozen solid.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Xianxian's figure flashed and entered Chen Wanrong's bedroom.

At this moment, Chen Wanrong was also meditating and cultivating. After sensing her master's aura, Chen Wanrong opened her eyes.

"Master? Is something the matter?"

Yun Xianxian handed the note to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong took the note and glanced at it, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Yun Xianxian said coldly, "I really didn't expect that they would actually take advantage of my absence to collude with the Great Xia royal family."

Chen Wanrong asked, "What does Master intend to do?"

Yun Xianxian coldly said, "Anyone who betrays me will only face death. Since they have already chosen to betray me, they shouldn't blame me for not showing any mercy."

"They happen to be in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty right now. When Lu Chen leads his troops south, I will follow him to eliminate the traitors."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong was happy for Lu Chen. With Yun Xianxian's full support, it would be much easier for Lu Chen to unify the world.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, why hasn't Lu Chen come to cultivate with you these past few days? Has he gotten tired of it?"

This……

Chen Wanrong was slightly taken aback.

Yun Xianxian had previously said that she was idle and only knew how to engage in sexual relations, and was no different from an animal. Why is she asking about this today?

"Master, my junior brother is afraid you will be angry, so he hasn't come these past few days."

Yun Xianxian snorted coldly, "If he was afraid of making me angry, he wouldn't have been running into your room every day these past few days, and making such a commotion at night, preventing me from concentrating on my cultivation."

Chen Wanrong didn't know how to put it. Lu Chen really wasn't afraid of their master. Not only was he not afraid, Lu Chen even had thoughts of betraying his master and ancestors.

Yun Xianxian said, "Fine, if he doesn't come, then so be it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xianxian's body disappeared from the spot and returned directly to her room.

Yun Xianxian originally planned to wait until Lu Chen came to Chen Wanrong to do "that" thing, then she would come to Chen Wanrong to borrow him and use Lu Chen as a tool to restore her cultivation. But this guy hasn't come these past few days.

She refused to believe that Lu Chen would never come to Yunrong Courtyard. With Chen Wanrong there, Lu Chen would come sooner or later.

Although she knew Lu Chen would definitely come to find Chen Wanrong, Yun Xianxian still felt some worry.

She had taken Lu Chen as her disciple for some time, but during that time she had not taught him any martial arts techniques.

Her title of "master" was merely a title; she did not fulfill any of the duties of a master.

If this continues, will Lu Chen feel that he is a useless master and develop some bad thoughts about himself, thinking that he only took him as a disciple to use his body to restore his strength?

Although she did have such thoughts, now that she had accepted this disciple, she still had to play a role.

Judging from the cultivation techniques Lu Chen took out, he most likely came from a high-level cultivation world, and making enemies with someone from a high-level cultivation world is not a good thing.

If this guy gets lucky one day and encounters some kind of opportunity, his strength suddenly soars, even surpassing his own, he might very well do something that betrays his master and ancestors.

If you want this man to willingly serve you, you still need to give him some benefits. Although Chen Wanrong was one of the benefits she gave Lu Chen, Chen Wanrong is an independent person after all, and she has to find other ways to give Lu Chen other benefits.

Or, how about we teach him some techniques?

What kind of martial arts technique is best to teach?

Yun Xianxian fell into deep thought.

at the same time.

Study and rest room.

Xue Linglong was trapped in the mire again. She tried hard to struggle, but she couldn't get out of the mire.

Last time, in order to avoid making Xue Linglong uncomfortable, Lu Chen used the Rejuvenating Hand technique, healing Xue Linglong's wounds while doing his work.

But this time it's different. To deal with a demoness, you need to have the methods to deal with a demoness. How can you keep healing her?

Lu Chen didn't use the Rejuvenation Hand even once this time, and Xue Linglong felt that if this continued, she would be gone.

She quickly used her charm on Lu Chen.

"You...you...get up right now. You feel very guilty about what you did and have decided...um..."

Before Xue Linglong could finish speaking, Lu Chen silenced her with a kiss.

Xue Linglong was dumbfounded.

How could this happen?

Her charm technique didn't work?

How is that possible?

Everything was fine before, wasn't it?

Could it be that, just like last time, she used her charm to arouse Lu Chen's inner desires, causing him to lose control, and even if she used her charm again, she couldn't stop Lu Chen from doing what he did?

The thought of this possibility filled Xue Linglong with immense fear.

Soon, only one thought remained in her mind.

This is the end for me...

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Linglong, who was lying on the bed, seemed to faintly hear someone's voice.

"Witch, you tried to control me with your charms, now you regret it!"

Lu Chen felt he no longer needed to pretend. While handling things earlier, he discovered that he got along very well with this enchantress. Since that was the case, he might as well reveal his true colors sooner and take this enchantress into his harem as soon as possible. His harem needed an enchantress who could bear his negative emotions.

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong instantly snapped out of her daze!

That voice belonged to Lu Chen.

Wasn't Lu Chen already out of control due to the charm technique? How come he can still say such lucid things?

And he even calls himself a demoness?

How did he know that she was a demoness from a demonic sect?

Xue Linglong suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Chen, who was looking at her with a playful expression.

Seeing that Lu Chen's gaze was very firm and he didn't seem to be controlled at all, Xue Linglong's heart skipped a beat.

This guy doesn't seem to be under any control at all; the charm spell actually failed.

Xue Linglong gasped for breath, "When...when did you...come to your senses!"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Sober? I was never controlled by your charm from the very beginning."

"How was it? Did I act very convincingly?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong was immediately shocked.

No wonder Lu Chen completely ignored her orders last time and acted like an animal. It turns out he wasn't being controlled at all; his act of being controlled was just an act.

Therefore, this guy may have already realized his identity.

Run...we have to run right now!

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong immediately prepared to resist, but she suddenly realized that her internal energy was sealed. Coupled with what she had just done, she had no strength left and was pinned down by Lu Chen with no way to escape.

Xue Linglong was stunned once again.

What's going on here...?

How could her powers be sealed?

Xue Linglong asked shyly and fearfully, "What did you do to me?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't you know very well what I did to you?"

"I'm going to interrogate you properly, you witch of the demonic sect, so I can't let you move around freely."

"Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Cult, prepare to be interrogated by this King!"

Xue Linglong's beautiful eyes widened slightly, her pupils contracted, and her body tensed instantly. When a person is in fear, all the muscles in their body will tense up, which benefited Lu Chen.

Xue Linglong asked in disbelief, "How could this be... How could you possibly know...?"

She possesses the Yin-Yang Mirror, so logically, the Northern King shouldn't be able to discover her identity. Not only should he not discover her identity, but Lu Chen shouldn't even be aware that he has cultivation.

However, he directly revealed his identity.

At this moment, Lu Chen leaned down, put his arm around Xue Linglong's waist, and whispered in her ear, "Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Divine Sect, my interrogation is about to begin."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong's fear intensified once more; Lu Chen's words in her ear sounded like the whispers of a demon. (End of Chapter)
