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

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's angry rebuke, Lu Chen immediately removed his hand from the puppet and asked innocently, "Why did Master suddenly become angry?"

Seeing Lu Chen's innocent expression, pretending not to know anything, Yun Xianxian felt a surge of anger rising within her.

A faint blush appeared on Yun Xianxian's cold and beautiful face. "Although this is just a puppet, its body is exactly the same as mine. What are you trying to do by touching it like that!"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Why is Master so sensitive? Isn't this just a puppet?"

"This puppet of yours was originally meant to lure out the enemy. Does that mean the enemy can touch it, but your disciple can't?"

Hearing Lu Chen's sophistry, Yun Xianxian frowned slightly. That's what he said, but she always felt that this wicked disciple was desecrating her.

Yun Xianxian snorted coldly, then said, "Alright, you can go about your business now. When you're ready to head south, just let me know, and I'll gather the disciples of Xuan Yue Palace to assist you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. Just as he was about to say something, a maid rushed into Yunrong Courtyard in a panic, saying, "Your Highness, Lady Yelü and Lady Xiao are about to give birth!"

Lu Chen then said to Yun Xianxian, "This disciple will not disturb Master any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen turned and walked towards Chun Sheng Courtyard.

Upon entering Chunsheng Courtyard, Lu Chen saw his wives and concubines gathered outside Yelü Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's room.

Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, everyone immediately made way for him. Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, Chu Yuqin interrupted his thoughts, "Chen'er, let's go to Sister Yelü's room first. She can't hold on any longer."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's reminder, Lu Chen hurriedly entered Yelü Nanyan's room. Yelü Nanyan was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and she looked like she was in great pain.

Lu Chen immediately went to her side, took her hand, and used the Rejuvenation Hand to infuse her body with spiritual power. Soon, the color in Yelü Nanyan's face gradually returned.

Lu Chen didn't intend to waste too much time, after all, there was someone waiting for him next door. He said directly to Yelü Nanyan, "Wife, get ready."

Yelü Nanyan gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Chen then used his spiritual power to envelop the child inside Yelü Nanyan's belly. The next moment, the child smoothly emerged from Yelü Nanyan's body, and the room was filled with the child's wailing cries.

The midwife and maids skillfully cleaned the baby and brought it to Lu Chen.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, it's a young master!"

Lu Chen immediately took the baby from the midwife and used the Rejuvenating Hand technique to help the baby regulate its body.

Gradually, the baby's crying subsided.

Lu Chen then placed the child next to Yelü Nanyan. Under Lu Chen's treatment, Yelü Nanyan recovered quickly. She slowly sat up, looked at the baby next to her, and a loving smile appeared on her face.

The child she had been longing for was finally born, and now all the clothes she had sewn before would finally have a purpose.

Suddenly remembering something, Yelü Nanyan quickly looked up at Lu Chen and said, "Your Highness, Yao Yao is about to give birth. You should go next door quickly. I have almost recovered."

Lu Chen's healing techniques have become increasingly skilled, and those he treats can recover quickly unless they are seriously injured.

Although Yelü Nanyan had not fully recovered to her pre-pregnancy state, she was no longer having any problems getting up and walking around.

Lu Chen gently stroked Yelü Nanyan's messy hair, then kissed her on the cheek and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, my wife. I'll be back in a bit."

Before Lu Chen could even see what the system had rewarded him with, he left Yelü Nanyan's room and went to Xiao Wenyao's bedroom.

Xiao Wenyao was in much better condition than Yelü Nanyan. She lay quietly on the bed, looking dazed, as if she didn't know what was going to happen next.

She had a slight stomachache just now, and then everything was fine; she was completely calm.

Upon seeing Lu Chen enter, Xiao Wenyao slightly shifted her body and said, "This servant greets Your Highness."

Although Xiao Wenyao was already pregnant with Lu Chen's child, she still regarded herself as a female slave in front of Lu Chen. She always believed that she was taken back from the Tianlang King tribe by Lu Chen, so no matter how special her current status was, she still had to show a submissive attitude in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen quickly came to Xiao Wenyao's side, supported her body, and said with a smile, "You're about to give birth, why bother with formalities?"

Xiao Wenyao asked curiously, "Has Sister Nanyan given birth?"

She had just heard a faint baby crying from next door and felt that Yelü Nanyan had given birth.

Lu Chen said, "Yes, she's given birth. Now it's your turn."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyao paused for a moment, then said, "But my belly doesn't seem to be showing any signs of pregnancy?"

Lu Chen patted Xiao Wenyao's head and said, "There will be some news soon."

At this point, Lu Chen grasped Xiao Wenyao's wrist and channeled spiritual energy into her.

After a short while, Xiao Wenyao felt a strange sensation in her body; she felt as if her stomach was moving.

Just when Xiao Wenyao thought she would experience that pain again, she suddenly found that her body seemed to become very relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, a child's cry echoed in the room.

Hearing the baby cry, Xiao Wenyao was stunned. Her intuition told her that this was her child, but she hadn't felt anything at all. The baby just came out like that.

Xiao Wenyao slowly shifted her body, then looked down slightly, only to find that her protruding belly had disappeared.

Xiao Wenyao couldn't help but think that the people in the Prince's Mansion were right. Giving birth wasn't that difficult for the women in the Prince's Mansion. She had heard people on the grasslands say that giving birth was like losing half her life, and she had always felt a bit scared.

The baby was born so easily.

Lu Chen smiled and said to Xiao Wenyao, who looked bewildered, "Yaoyao, from today onwards you are a mother too. You can't play around like before anymore."

Xiao Wenyao is somewhat like those modern young women who have children before they are ready to have them. She hasn't given up her playfulness. Women like her usually don't know how to take care of children and don't have much of a sense of responsibility, unlike mature women like Yelü Nanyan.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reminder, Xiao Wenyao blushed and said, "This servant understands."

Soon, the midwife brought the baby to them; Xiao Wenyao had also given birth to a boy.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then gave the child a name.

After spending some time with Xiao Wenyao, Lu Chen went to Yelü Nanyan's room. After all, he had left in such a hurry that he hadn't even named the child yet.

After spending about half an hour with Yelü Nanyan, Lu Chen went to the study to see what rewards the system had given him this time.

Upon entering the study, Lu Chen couldn't wait to open the system interface.

[Congratulations, host, on gaining an offspring. Reward: Primordial Temple.]

[Congratulations, host, on gaining an offspring. Reward: Falling Sun Sword Sect.]

Ok?

Lu Chen was stunned when he saw the two system notifications in front of him.

Is it that simple?

However, Lu Chen quickly realized that he could access both the Luoyang Sword Sect and the Primordial Holy Temple, as well as the secondary system pages.

Lu Chen then clicked on the words "Primordial Temple".

[The Primordial Temple: Located on Primordial Island in the southeastern sea, it rules over six million people and possesses one Celestial Realm expert, six Pseudo-Celestial Realm experts, and numerous Grandmasters and Grandmasters.]

Lu Chen was completely stunned.

This reward is absolutely outrageous!

One celestial being, plus six pseudo-celestial beings?

This is just one of the rewards.

Lu Chen quickly exited and opened [Luoyang Sword Sect].

[Luoyang Sword Sect: Located on Liyang Island in the southeastern coastal region, it rules over seven million people and possesses one Celestial Realm expert, eight Pseudo-Celestial Realm experts, and several Grandmasters and Grandmasters.]

Upon seeing the introductions of these two forces, Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder if he still needed to keep a low profile.

At this moment, a system notification sound will be heard.

[The host can issue one command to the Primordial Temple and the Falling Sun Sword Sect.]

Lu Chen then said to the system, "Have them contact me immediately."

Lu Chen had never heard of the Primordial Temple and the Falling Sun Sword Sect before. In addition, since both of these forces were located in the Southeast Sea, it was obvious that they must be very far away from the Great Xia Dynasty.

They probably won't be able to get here anytime soon, so it's best to contact them first.

[The Sect Master of the Falling Sun Sword Sect and the Holy Master of the Primordial Temple have received the host's instructions and are dispatching people to the Great Xia Dynasty.]

Lu Chen then realized that there were actually quite a few celestial beings in this world, but they all lived in certain corners of the world, so people knew very little about them.

I don't know why people have been so low-key these days.

Now that his forces have gained two more Celestials, taking over the Great Xia Dynasty shouldn't be too much of a problem.

only……

Lu Chen suddenly felt a little worried. He had obtained several Celestial Beings through the system. Could it be that other dynasties might also have Celestial Beings? If he wanted to take over the major dynasties, he might encounter obstacles from the Celestial Beings.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen rubbed his temples; now was not the time to think about these things.

Become the Emperor of Great Xia first.

……

With the birth of Xiao Wenyao and Yelü Nanyan's child, the war between the Northern Kingdom and the Great Xia Dynasty began. Lu Chen planned to send three armies south this time.

One force was led by Xuan Yuanchen, another by Mu Changtian, and the third was a navy led by Wei Siyuan.

Xuan Yuanchen led his army directly south, first attacking the Qi Kingdom, and then continuing south after conquering it.

Meanwhile, Mu Changtian's army attacked from Youping County of the Great Wu Dynasty, entered Heyang County, and directly attacked Lu Yi's main camp.

Wei Siyuan's navy naturally sailed down the coast of Hainan Island to attack from the sea.

As for Song Xuelin and Dongmen Feiyue's 200,000 troops, they remained in the Northern Kingdom to guard against the Dayue Dynasty and the Dawu Dynasty causing trouble.

For Lu Chen, the safety of the rear was equally important. He didn't want his wives, concubines, and children to be captured by the enemy country when he returned from his trip south.

At the same time, Lu Chen also gave orders to the Black Dragon Kingdom that when he went south, the Black Dragon Kingdom must put enough pressure on the Dayue Dynasty so that the Dayue Dynasty would not be able to send troops to the North.

The continuous troop movements in the north quickly attracted the attention of the Xia Emperor, who also began to deploy his troops. He first sent 200,000 troops north to prepare to resist Lu Chen's southward advance, and on the other hand, he sent heavy cavalry to deal with Lu Yi in the west.

Since the Northern King can no longer sit still, it's time to get rid of Lu Yi, this pawn.

The reason why Emperor Xia allowed Lu Yi to expand continuously was to make the people in the north think that the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty was over and that the Northern King could go south to compete for the throne.

Emperor Xia never took the rebel army led by Lu Yi seriously.

The Great Yue Dynasty.

The Imperial Palace.

The Empress's bedroom.

Wearing a bright red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, the Emperor Yue felt that his opportunity had come when he heard about the mobilization for war in the Northern Kingdom.

Although Dayue has not yet obtained the mysterious weapon from the Northern Kingdom, if the Northern Kingdom sends its troops to the south, then even if the north takes precautions, it will not have many troops.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of collapse, it was still a dynasty with a deep foundation and it was not easy to destroy it. The Yue Emperor had great confidence in the Xia Emperor. She believed that the Xia Emperor would be able to hold back the Northern Kingdom and make the Northern Kingdom continuously send troops south.

Looking at the intelligence in her hand, Yuehuang smiled slightly. She hadn't smiled in a long time. Ever since her good friend was sent to the Northern Kingdom, she had felt a vague sense of unease.

Murong Xue'er still hasn't controlled the Northern King, and with the Celestial Beings from Xuan Yue Palace now gone to the Northern Kingdom, she suspects her honey trap has completely failed. To be precise, Murong Xue'er may have already betrayed her.

However, none of that matters anymore. As long as the Northern King marches south this time and Dayue is able to capture some important cities in the Northern Kingdom, they might be able to directly seize the Northern Kingdom's mysterious weapons from the Northern Kingdom's army.

Just as Emperor Yue was thinking this, a female guard suddenly entered the palace, knelt outside the red curtains, and said, "Your Majesty, there is unusual activity in the Black Dragon Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Emperor Yue's face instantly froze.

With a wave of his hand, the intelligence report in the female guard's hand flew up instantly, passing over the red curtain and landing directly in the emperor's hand.

After glancing at the contents of the intelligence report, the Empress frowned slightly, and her body emanated a murderous aura.

The maids inside and outside the palace all felt the murderous intent, and they all knelt down in unison, their bodies trembling.

After a long pause, Emperor Yue coldly said, "The Black Dragon Kingdom really knows how to pick its timing!"

Although the Black Dragon Kingdom has a relatively small military force, it poses a huge threat to the Dayue Dynasty. The Black Dragon Kingdom follows an elite military strategy, and its soldiers are all very powerful, capable of taking on ten opponents at once.

Originally, Empress Yue planned to take advantage of the Northern King's southward march to launch a surprise attack on the Northern Kingdom. However, with the Black Dragon Kingdom eyeing her from the northwest, she dared not make any rash moves.

If we act rashly, and the Black Dragon Kingdom launches a large-scale invasion, while the northern barbarians also move south at this time, Dayue's situation will become extremely dangerous.

However, while we can't mobilize troops at will, sending people to the northern kingdom to cause trouble is still not a problem.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yue asked directly, "Has there been any news about Yunwan recently?"

The female guard replied, "Princess Wu has always lived in the Northern Prince's residence and rarely goes out."

Emperor Yue thought for a moment, then said, "I will write a letter later and find a way to get it to her."

If the Northern King is to leave the Northern Kingdom, then that Celestial Being from the Xuan Yue Palace will definitely go with him, and then the Northern Kingdom will be without a powerful figure to guard it.

She had heard some time ago that her best friend had broken through to the Grandmaster realm, and that she had also assigned a Grandmaster protector to her.

With two Grandmasters in the Northern Kingdom, they can certainly cause a lot of trouble, such as stealing weapon blueprints, and even having the opportunity to capture the Northern King's wives and concubines and bring them to Dayue. (End of Chapter)
