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

After meeting with the people from the Primordial Temple and the Falling Sun Sword Sect, Lu Chen's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

His heart was already boiling with excitement, dreaming of commanding his army to sweep across the major dynasties and unify the world.

In the afternoon, Lu Chen summoned Xuan Yuan Chen and other military generals to make arrangements for tomorrow's events.

Tomorrow they will send troops to attack the capital; tomorrow's main force will not be the northern soldiers and the imperial army.

Since the existence of pseudo-celestial beings is involved, even soldiers equipped with firearms are not very effective against them. The main role of the Northern Kingdom soldiers is to enter the capital to control the imperial army and maintain order in the capital after Lu Chen and his group have dealt with the most troublesome figures.

After the military meeting, Xuan Yuanchen and other military officers left Lu Chen's temporary study.

It was already evening, and Lu Chen didn't linger in the study. He went straight to the main courtyard, planning to have dinner and rest early.

Just as he entered his room, a cold voice suddenly came from his bed, "Who exactly are you?"

Lu Chen looked towards the sound and saw Yun Xianxian. Yun Xianxian was wearing a light blue gauze dress and was sitting cross-legged on Lu Chen's bed, exuding a faint fairy aura, but this fairy aura was somewhat cold.

Lu Chen didn't speak immediately. He turned and closed the door before turning back to ask, "Master, what's the question?"

"Didn't Master already know that I was reincarnated from another world?"

Yun Xianxian said coldly, "I know you come from another world, but I don't know your true identity."

"The fact that you were able to gather so many powerful Celestial Realm experts in such a short time is enough to prove that you are not an ordinary person. Everything you have in this world has been paved for you by someone."

"For you, all of this is just a test."

"As far as I know, only some cultivation families in the cultivation world will send their family members down to some lower-level worlds for training."

Hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "So, Master thinks I'm a scion of some powerful family?"

"If you weren't from a family of cultivators, you couldn't possibly possess a high-level cultivation technique like the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique."

Lu Chen still didn't directly answer Yun Xianxian's question, but instead asked, "If this disciple is truly a scion of a certain cultivation family, what does Master intend to do?"

Yun Xianxian said calmly, "Then I'll have to consider keeping my distance from you after I leave this world."

"I have always preferred to be alone and do not like to associate with people from cultivation families."

Lu Chen said, "So that's how it is."

"But Master, please rest assured, I do not have any so-called cultivation family behind me. I am just an ordinary person."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yun Xianxian stared intently at him with her purple pupils, as if trying to see right through him.

In an instant, the air in the room became even colder, and Lu Chen could feel a distinct chill. The master and disciple stared at each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Xianxian finally spoke coldly, asking, "Do you think your master looks like a fool?"

Lu Chen smiled and replied, "This disciple has never had such a thought."

Yun Xianxian said, "If you don't have a powerful cultivation family behind you, why would the Luoyang Sword Sect and the Primordial Holy Temple, two such powerful forces, submit to you? Are those two Celestial Beings out of their minds?"

Lu Chen said, "There are some things I cannot tell Master for the time being, but please believe me, Master. I really do not come from any cultivation family. I was just an ordinary person in my previous life."

Just as Lu Chen said this, Yun Xianxian's purple pupils emitted a purple light.

When Lu Chen finished speaking, Yun Xianxian was slightly taken aback. Was what Lu Chen said actually true?

She has a certain ability to tell whether someone is lying or not. If Lu Chen were lying, she would have been able to tell immediately. But based on her judgment, Lu Chen was not lying.

In other words, Lu Chen was indeed an ordinary person in his previous life, and he did not come from a family of cultivators.

But if he didn't have a powerful force behind him, how could the Luoyang Sword Sect and the Primordial Holy Temple have taken the initiative to come and pledge allegiance to Lu Chen?

After regaining her senses, Yun Xianxian asked, "When do you plan to tell your master your secrets?"

Lu Chen said, "When the time is right, this disciple will naturally inform Master."

Yun Xianxian snorted coldly and said, "I advise you to remain vigilant and not become someone else's pawn."

There is no free lunch in this world. If there really is a force behind Lu Chen helping him, and this force can even make powerful forces like the Falling Sun Sword Sect and the Primordial Holy Temple submit to Lu Chen, then it means that this force must want to get something from Lu Chen.

As someone from the cultivation world, Yun Xianxian knew its cruelty. She had approached Lu Chen with the intention of using him for dual cultivation to restore her strength, so she believed that the other party must also want to use Lu Chen for something.

Although her initial purpose in approaching Lu Chen was merely to use him, Yun Xianxian has now developed a possessive desire deep within her. In her eyes, Lu Chen is already her disciple, and she doesn't want to see anyone using him for anything.

Even if she uses Lu Chen, it can only be her using Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I will certainly keep your teachings in mind."

Yun Xianxian then said, "I won't waste my breath on you. You know what you're doing."

At this point, Yun Xianxian prepared to leave, but Lu Chen suddenly spoke up, "Master, wait!"

Hearing this, Yun Xianxian turned her head and looked at Lu Chen expressionlessly, asking, "What, is there something else?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Master, I'm going to attack the capital tomorrow. Would you like me to help you recover your strength?"

Yun Xianxian said calmly, "Now you have two more Celestial subordinates by your side, and judging from the people brought by the Primordial Holy Temple and the Falling Sun Sword Sect, these two forces are very powerful and have no need for me at all."

Lu Chen said, "Master, what are you saying? If I didn't have your help, how could I have found that divine weapon?"

Hearing this, Yun Xianxian chuckled inwardly. It seemed that this disciple wasn't completely stupid. He hadn't become arrogant because of the arrival of the other two Celestials, and he still knew that he was useful to her.

Yun Xianxian said, "Alright, come on up."

As soon as Yun Xianxian finished speaking, Lu Chen skipped dinner and headed straight for the bed, taking off his clothes as he went to show off his perfect abs and physique.

After getting into bed, Lu Chen sat opposite Yun Xianxian and crossed his legs.

After getting into bed, Lu Chen began to circulate his spiritual energy. At this moment, Yun Xianxian's purple pupils were fixed on Lu Chen's eyes, which quickly aroused the desires deep within Lu Chen's heart.

Suppressing his physical agitation, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Master, have you ever cultivated like this with other men before?"

Yun Xianxian coldly replied, "Who do you think I am? Someone who fawns over every man she sees?"

Lu Chen said, "So, this disciple is the first man to cultivate with Master?"

"So Master's first time was given to his disciple."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xianxian raised her beautiful eyes, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. For some reason, she felt that Lu Chen's words were strange.

Lu Chen continued, "Master, the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique is not something everyone can cultivate."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xianxian said, "Oh? Is that so?"

Yun Xianxian didn't know what cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique meant. In her opinion, the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique was just a dual cultivation technique that could be practiced by any man and woman without any other conditions.

Lu Chen said, "There is a crucial condition for cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique. Master and I have cultivated it together so many times, haven't you discovered it yet?"

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Yun Xianxian was slightly taken aback. A crucial condition?

What are those conditions?

Why didn't I know this all along?

Yun Xianxian then asked, "What are the conditions?"

Lu Chen replied, "This cultivation technique requires the man and woman to have feelings for each other to be able to cultivate it. When Master first cultivated with his disciple, didn't he use some method to make the disciple develop evil thoughts towards you? Master should have known this long ago."

Lu Chen's answer stunned Yun Xianxian instantly. However, in the next moment, Yun Xianxian's body suddenly released a series of cold energies, which directly froze the entire room, and even Lu Chen was almost frozen.

Yun Xianxian's purple pupils coldly stared at Lu Chen. "What do you want to say?"

Seeing the chill emanating from Yun Xianxian, Lu Chen immediately said, "This disciple is only speaking the truth, please do not be angry, Master."

How could Yun Xianxian not understand what Lu Chen just said? Lu Chen said that cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique requires both the man and woman to have feelings for each other. Doesn't that mean that she has feelings for him? That she has those kinds of thoughts?

This guy really dares to think outside the box!

How could a holy maiden from the celestial realm possibly have feelings for him!

What a wicked disciple!

He really did want to exterminate the jockey's family!

Yun Xianxian then said, "I advise you not to have any other ideas. Just because I accepted you as my disciple does not mean that I can tolerate your behavior indefinitely."

Lu Chen did not immediately back down. Perhaps it was because two more Celestials had come to his side that Lu Chen became much bolder.

Lu Chen said, "Master, I only stated the necessary conditions for cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique. Why are you angry?"

"Could it be that Master was angered because his disciple guessed correctly, and that's why he's so eager to deny it?"

Yun Xianxian was taken aback. "You!"

At this moment, Yun Xianxian was clearly not expecting that Lu Chen would be so bold as to take liberties with her directly. Although she had long been aware of Lu Chen's feelings for her, and even knew that he often called her "Master" when he was doing "that" with Chen Wanrong.

Yun Xianxian suddenly thought of something and said, "It seems that the arrival of those two celestial beings has emboldened you to speak to me like this."

"Celestial beings are indeed powerful in this world, but don't forget that being a Celestial is just the beginning of cultivation. Once you leave this world, a Celestial is nothing at all."

"If you continue to act so unreasonably, I will severely punish you after you leave this world!"

Lu Chen looked directly into Yun Xianxian's majestic purple eyes and said, "Disciple has heard a saying that cultivating immortality is about cultivating the heart. If Master wants to deny his own heart and his own feelings, he doesn't need to wait until he leaves this world. He can kill me right now. Only in this way can he understand Master's mortal heart."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Xianxian unleashed another burst of icy, bone-chilling coldness. She immediately snapped, "Shut up! Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

At this point, Lu Chen felt as if his body was frozen, and layers of ice climbed up his body, until his lower body felt as if it were frozen solid.

Lu Chen then closed his eyes. "Disciple will say the same thing: if Master wants to make a move, then make a move now."

"Anyway, I'm just telling the truth. Cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique requires mutual affection between men and women. In other words, Master also has feelings for me!"

"you!"

With a whoosh, another burst of icy cold air erupted from Yun Xianxian's body. At this moment, the entire mansion felt this bone-chilling cold air, and everyone looked towards Lu Chen's house.

Just then, Xuanyuan Chaoge's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Majesty, are you... alright?"

Although Xuanyuan Chaoge knew that the cold air was coming from Yun Xianxian, the loud noise coming from inside the room made him worry that something might have happened inside.

If something really happens, I have to go in and protect Lu Chen as soon as possible.

Lu Chen replied, "I am fine."

Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Xuan Yuan Chaoge finally felt relieved.

"If Your Majesty needs anything, please remember to remind me. I will take my leave now."

Lu Chen said calmly, "Step down."

After Xuanyuan Chaoge's outburst, Yun Xianxian calmed down slightly. She coldly said to Lu Chen, "That's enough for today's cultivation. I'm going back."

Although she acted fiercely just now, it was only to intimidate Lu Chen; it doesn't mean she would actually do it.

On one hand, Lu Chen is still very useful to her; she needs Lu Chen to quickly recover her strength.

On the other hand, she was indeed somewhat emotional. After seeing Lu Chen's fearless attitude, she felt extremely helpless.

Yun Xianxian thought angrily to herself, "This bastard who betrayed his master and ancestors actually wanted to do such a thing to me."

If it weren't for the need to regain my strength, I would have frozen him into an ice sculpture!

Just as Yun Xianxian was about to leave, Lu Chen spoke again, "Master, this disciple has one more thing to say!"

Yun Xianxian said coldly, "I don't want to say anything more to you!"

Lu Chen said, "If Master wants to continue to evade this, then this disciple has nothing to say."

"But has Master ever considered that the act of Master and disciple cultivating together is something that can only be done between Daoist couples?"

"We've cultivated together so many times. If one day we leave this world and return to the world of cultivation, what do you think our master's fellow disciples or family would think if they found out?"

"If Master doesn't care, don't they care either?"

"A man and a woman in the same room, even on the same bed, and they're just sitting there meditating and cultivating—and it's a special kind of technique like the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique—do you think they'd believe we're completely innocent?" (End of Chapter)
