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

As Mu Yunxi's voice faded into the air above the basin, the aftershocks of the water dragon explosion also dissipated, and Mu Yunxi was nowhere to be found on the carriage.

At this moment, Li Qingrou's face was as cold as ice, and sword energy flashed around her. Soon, the entire carriage was completely destroyed by those sword energies.

Clearly, Li Qingrou was angry because of Mu Yunxi's escape.

She had long realized that their alliance was unreliable, but she did not expect Mu Yunxi to run away at this time.

Mu Yunxi is a powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm, yet she is so timid.

Since that woman is useless, I can only rely on myself.

Although Lu Chen was very strong, the word "fear" did not exist in her world. She did not believe that she had no way to deal with Lu Chen.

Just then, Lu Chen spoke up, "Your Majesty, Yun Wan is now my woman, and you and Yun Wan are good friends. There is absolutely no need for us to turn against each other."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yue snorted coldly and then said, "What, you want to take me into your harem as well?"

"ridiculous!"

Putting aside the fact that she hates men the most, even if she didn't hate men, she would never compete with her best friend for a male lover.

In her eyes, Lu Chen was Wu Junwan's male concubine.

Hearing the cold tone in the Emperor's voice, Lu Chen smiled and said, "If the Emperor is willing, it's not impossible."

Li Qingrou sneered and said, "If you want me to become your woman, you'll have to see if you have the ability."

As she spoke, the sword energy around Li Qingrou's body gathered together, forming a huge tornado.

Immediately, the tornado headed straight for Lu Chen. Lu Chen immediately raised his God-Slaying Spear and fired a shot at the tornado. With that one shot, the sword tornado, which contained destructive power, vanished without a trace.

However, Lu Chen did not attack immediately. He only needed to defend passively until Li Qingrou gave up.

Although Li Qingrou is very strong, without a battle formation, she cannot fight against Lu Chen and the two Celestials behind him on her own.

Li Qingrou did not give up after her first attack was interrupted. She drew her spirit sword and unleashed her destructive sword intent.

Originally, she did not intend to use her sword intent. She was not sure if Lu Chen could withstand her sword intent. If she hurt Lu Chen, she was afraid she would not be able to explain it to her good sister.

However, she had no choice but to use her sword intent. If she didn't use it, she might not be a match for Lu Chen, as the power of the spiritual weapon in Lu Chen's hand was simply too great.

In fact, Li Qingrou also noticed that although Lu Chen possessed such a powerful spiritual weapon, he did not take the initiative to attack; he remained in a defensive posture.

This shows that Lu Chen held back. Lu Chen and she probably had the same idea, but even if neither side wanted to harm the other's life, they still had to decide who would win.

Just as the purple sword energy containing the intent of destruction was about to touch Lu Chen, Lu Chen raised the God-Slaying Spear again and fired another shot, causing the sword energy containing the intent of destruction to dissipate directly.

Seeing this, Li Qingrou frowned slightly. She was somewhat surprised. Even sword intent could be easily destroyed. That spiritual weapon was truly extraordinary.

The key is that there are two celestial beings behind Lu Chen who are constantly replenishing his spiritual energy. Under these circumstances, Lu Chen can use that spiritual artifact multiple times.

Even so, Li Qingrou did not give up. She used the Destruction Sword Intent again and launched another attack. She then launched ten more attacks in a row, but they were all blocked by Lu Chen.

At this moment, Li Qingrou's body had clearly become weak, and her icy face had become even paler. It was obvious that her body had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was unable to hold on any longer.

Just as Li Qingrou used the Destruction Sword Intent again, her body reached its limit. She instantly knelt down, then stuck her sword into the ground, extremely weak.

Even in the Misty World, she had almost never experienced a battle of this magnitude. Although Lu Chen was on the defensive and she was on the offensive, it was she who was injured and weakened.

If this continues, when Lu Chen tries to catch her later, she will probably have no choice but to surrender.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to become this man's captive.

Just then, the sword energy around Li Qingrou's body gathered again. Lu Chen initially thought she was going to continue her attack, but he quickly realized something was wrong. This time, Li Qingrou's sword energy only gathered around her and showed no intention of being released.

Lu Chen instantly understood. He quickly said, "Don't be confused. Yunwan is still waiting to see you. If something happens to you, how will she live in the future?"

Li Qingrou chuckled softly, then said, "Are you planning to use Yunwan to threaten me?"

"Yunwan knows what kind of person I am; she foresaw the choice I would make!"

"Go back and tell her that we can no longer be sisters in this life, but we will be friends in the next."

As she spoke, the sword energy around Li Qingrou grew increasingly violent. She continued, "Since Yunwan trusts you so much, I believe you will continue to treat her well. I entrust her to you!"

At this point, Li Qingrou prepared to commit suicide.

However, the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Li Qingrou and hugged her. In the next instant, all the spiritual energy in her body was sealed, and she lost all her strength.

Li Qingrou was stunned for a moment. After regaining her senses, she coldly shouted domineeringly, "Insolence!"

However, Lu Chen ignored Li Qingrou, and Li Qingrou immediately began to struggle, trying to break free from Lu Chen's control.

However, no matter how much Li Qingrou struggled, she couldn't break free from Lu Chen's arms. Lu Chen held her arms tightly, and since her spiritual power was sealed, all her struggles were in vain.

Lu Chen then said, "I promised Yunwan that no matter what happens, I will let you live. So if you want to commit suicide, you'll have to see if I agree."

Emperor Yue sneered and said, "Ridiculous. I can commit suicide anytime I want. I don't believe you can watch over me forever."

Li Qingrou's idea was simple: Lu Chen was, after all, the ruler of a country, how could he keep her imprisoned forever? As long as Lu Chen released her, she would have a chance to commit suicide.

She would never become this man's captive, much less his woman.

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "You know what, I really can keep an eye on you."

At this point, Lu Chen addressed the soldiers of Dayue directly: "Emperor Yue has been captured alive by me, and Dayue has been defeated. If you want to live, lay down your weapons immediately. In a few days, I will make your Emperor a Noble Consort. I promise that as long as you lay down your weapons and do not resist, I will absolutely not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
