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

In the northern lands, there is a city called Yancheng.

North Palace.

Lu Chen was in his study, constantly browsing through official documents related to the war. With the war approaching, he had more to do, with thousands of documents to review every day.

These official documents were not necessarily handled by him; most of them were handled by Zhuge Chongguang. However, he had to review them all because they involved military matters. As a ruler who held absolute military power, Lu Chen could not ignore military affairs.

Just then, the voice of a maid came from outside the study.

"Your Highness, Commander Liang requests an audience."

Lu Chen stared intently at the official document in front of him and said, "Come in."

The next moment, Liang Zong pushed open the door and entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Lu Chen didn't look up. He asked calmly, "What is it?"

Liang Zong replied, "The Crown Princess has returned to Yancheng, and she is now surrounded by many powerful individuals."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. He looked up at Liang Zong and said, "She's back at the Lu residence?"

Liang Zong replied, "No, she did not return as the Crown Princess; she changed her identity."

"They pretended that they encountered a band of bandits on their way to Heyang County, that the Crown Princess was killed, and then she changed her identity and went to Yancheng."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Has he adopted a new identity?

What is that vixen planning to do?

Could it be that Xue Linglong felt that her identity as the Crown Princess was too sensitive, so she wanted to abandon that identity and come back to be her own woman?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said, "Keep an eye on her. If the Taiyin Divine Sect makes any moves, inform me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Zong left.

However, not long after, Liang Zong returned to his study.

When Liang Zong reappeared in the study, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Why has Commander Liang returned again?"

Liang Zong immediately said, "Your Highness, just now a Jinyiwei soldier was accidentally caught by the Crown Princess, and she asked that soldier to pass on a message to you."

Ok?

Lu Chen asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Liang Zong said, "The Crown Princess says she knows you have been sending people to monitor her. She has something important to tell you and hopes you can meet with her."

Xue Linglong was, after all, a holy maiden of the Taiyin Divine Sect. The Embroidered Uniform Guard had been following and monitoring them all along, so how could she not have noticed at all?

However, she knew very well who had sent her to monitor her, so she had always pretended not to see them. But now that she had returned to Yancheng, she wanted to tell Lu Chen about the Taiyin Divine Sect, so she could conveniently use the Jinyiwei soldiers to relay a message to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then picked up a jade pendant and tossed it to Liang Zong. "Have that soldier give this jade pendant to the Crown Princess and tell her that she can come to the study of the Northern Prince's residence tonight to see me."

Liang Zong caught the jade pendant and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Liang Zong then left the study again.

Lu Chen thought to himself that the demoness had been wandering outside for several months and probably couldn't stand it anymore.

However, she must have other things to discuss with me. Could it be that the Taiyin God Cult is making some kind of move?

Never mind, I'll find out why Xue Linglong came back this time when I see her later.

Lu Chen didn't think much of it. He browsed through the official documents while waiting for Xue Linglong to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, the maid's voice finally came from outside the study.

"Your Highness, Miss Xue requests an audience."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled. Xue Linglong had really abandoned her identity as the Crown Princess and was now being addressed as Miss Xue in the announcement.

"Come in!"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Xue Linglong pushed open the door and entered.

Lu Chen put down the official document in his hand and glanced at Xue Linglong.

Today, Xue Linglong wore a form-fitting purple dress that hugged her graceful body, highlighting her curvaceous figure. The dress was also quite short, revealing her long, white legs, giving her an alluring and seductive aura.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Weren't you going south to find your elder brother? Why did you come back?"

Xue Linglong ignored Lu Chen's words, glanced at the mountain of official documents on the desk, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the Prince would change his mind so much in just a few months since I left Yancheng. Now he is actually focusing all his attention on government affairs."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me. I've always been a man who's very career-oriented."

"It was true then, and it is true now."

Xue Linglong said, "Oh? So, Your Highness hasn't changed at all? I find it hard to believe."

"Let me examine you properly and see if you really haven't changed at all."

At this point, Xue Linglong even took the initiative to use her seductive skills on Lu Chen. Of course, she knew that her seductive skills were useless against Lu Chen, but using them was just a means to seduce him.

Lu Chen then stood up from his seat and walked directly towards Xue Linglong. "Alright, then you can have a thorough examination."

At this point, Lu Chen reached out and pulled Xue Linglong's delicate body into his arms, then sealed her red lips with his.

Xue Linglong's body instantly stirred with excitement; this was the feeling she was experiencing again today, the feeling of kissing Lu Chen.

Xue Linglong not only did not struggle, but became very proactive, raising her pair of jade-like arms to hug Lu Chen's neck, and kissing him while starting to move Lu Chen's clothes.

While kissing Xue Linglong, Lu Chen pushed the vixen into the rest room next to the study.

After a while, they finally got to the bed. Lu Chen pushed Xue Linglong down onto the bed and looked down at her.

At this moment, Xue Linglong's face was rosy, her eyes were hazy, and she had a charming expression.

Xue Linglong murmured, "Tonight I am your slave girl, you can do whatever you want to me."

Seeing Xue Linglong's enchanting appearance, Lu Chen could no longer restrain himself. He leaned down and silenced Xue Linglong's mouth once again.

Afterwards, Lu Chen gave the demoness who had been on the run for several months a severe beating.

Xue Linglong had come to a realization. She was originally a demoness of the Demonic Sect, and members of the Demonic Sect should unleash their inner desires and do as they pleased.

Since her current desire is to be Lu Chen's female slave and be ravaged by him, why should she endure it? She can just follow this bastard.

This is perfect opportunity for her to continue absorbing yang energy to replenish yin and cultivate the Heavenly Maiden Technique.

After figuring things out, Xue Linglong became exceptionally proactive, but she was quickly defeated by Lu Chen.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Lu Chen embraced Xue Linglong's delicate body and said with a smile, "Witch, now you know that I haven't changed at all."

Xue Linglong chuckled and said, "Your Highness has indeed not changed."

Lu Chen then turned over, so that Xue Linglong was facing him sideways. He reached out, lifted Xue Linglong's fair and smooth chin, and looked into her alluring peach blossom eyes, saying, "Tell me, what are you back for this time?"

Xue Linglong said with a smile, "Your Highness almost exhausted me yesterday, and now you're asking me why I came back?"

"Does Your Highness not already know why I have returned?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Linglong raised her delicate hand and drew circles on Lu Chen's broad chest.

Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson."

At this point, Lu Chen prepared to turn over again, but Xue Linglong, noticing his intention, quickly said, "The cult leader has awakened, and he wants your body."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

After regaining his composure, Lu Chen said, "Continue."

Xue Linglong continued, "The Taiyin Divine Sect massacred a city in the south as a blood sacrifice, which awakened the soul of the sect leader. He now urgently needs a perfect body."

"The elders of the Taiyin Divine Sect believe that you are the chosen one, and your body is very suitable for the sect leader. Even if you are not the chosen one, your martial arts talent is so high, and your body is also very suitable for our sect leader. Therefore, they plan to capture you and bring you to the Taiyin Divine Sect to offer you to our sect leader."

"This time, the Taiyin Divine Sect sent its core elder, Cao Xianya. She was the previous Holy Maiden, and her cultivation level is probably at the pseudo-celestial realm."

Upon hearing Xue Linglong's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Xue Linglong spoke in a coquettish tone, "I risked being discovered to come to the Northern Prince's residence just to remind you. How does Your Highness plan to reward me?"

Lu Chen snapped out of her daze, pinched Xue Linglong's chin, looked into her eyes, and asked with a smile, "You want a reward?"

"How about I reward you with a few children?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong chuckled and dropped the pretense, her expression instantly changing before she resumed her cold tone, saying, "Your Highness really hasn't changed at all."

Lu Chen said, "Didn't you already know I hadn't changed?"

Lu Chen then asked, "Tell me, what are your plans now that you're back? Are you going to run away again, or do you intend to stay in the Northern Prince's residence?"

Xue Linglong said, "Doesn't Your Highness know perfectly well what tricks Your Highness has used on me? Now I can't live without you and can only be Your Highness's slave girl and plaything."

At this point, Xue Linglong continued, "I am destined to be a plaything. Although I am a saintess in the Taiyin Divine Sect, I am actually just the sect leader's maid. After the sect leader recovers, I will still need to serve him."

"Now that I've come here to serve as a female slave, Your Highness, why don't I choose a handsome and capable young man to be my master?"

At this point, Xue Linglong gave Lu Chen a flirtatious look, "You agree, right, my master..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's long-dormant wildness was reignited.

He chuckled, then turned over and said, "If you want to be my slave girl, then I'll have to put you to a good test."

"Witch, are you ready to accept my test?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong was taken aback.

test?

What is being tested?

This guy just... last night...

While Xue Linglong was lost in thought, Lu Chen suddenly leaned down and kissed her red lips again.

Since Wang Qingci had her child, Lu Chen hadn't been harsh with her for a long time. Now that a vixen had arrived, Lu Chen could finally unleash his true nature again. (End of Chapter)
