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

Li Qingrou's struggles were ultimately futile. With her spiritual power sealed, she had no means to deal with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen carried Li Qingrou directly into the Golden Palace and then placed her on the phoenix chair.

Li Qingrou realized that if she continued like this, she might lose her innocence, so she threatened, "If you dare to do that kind of thing to me, I will commit suicide immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Even if I didn't do that kind of thing to you, you would still commit suicide."

At this point, Lu Chen turned Li Qingrou over, then pressed her two jade-like arms behind her back. He leaned against her hips and continued to whisper in her ear, "When I came to Dayue, I asked Yunwan if she would be willing if I wanted you. Yunwan's meaning was that as long as I was willing, I could make you my woman."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou was stunned for a moment.

She never expected that her good friend Wu Yunwan would betray her so easily. Wu Yunwan had shared life and death with her and knew her personality.

For a moment, Li Qingrou felt a pang of sadness, never expecting that her best friend would betray her.

Seeing that Li Qingrou stopped struggling after hearing Wu Junwan's name, Lu Chen whispered in her ear, "Junwan is still waiting for you in Yancheng. Death won't solve anything. Even if you're no longer the Emperor of Yue, your life won't be too bad, and I won't slaughter the people of Dayue indiscriminately."

Upon hearing Lu Chen mention the people of Dayue, Li Qingrou instantly understood what was happening. This man was using the people of Dayue to threaten her.

If she refused to submit to him and was determined to commit suicide, he might turn his sword against the people of Dayue.

In fact, Li Qingrou was simply overthinking things. Lu Chen didn't have such thoughts; he was telling the truth. In order to deal with the enemies of the Misty World in the future, Lu Chen would try his best to unite the people of this world. How could he possibly kill people indiscriminately?

The killing was not the goal, but a political means.

There will definitely be some killings, but those killed will be those who disobey the rule or even those who cause trouble behind the scenes. As long as the people of Dayue sincerely surrender to Daxia, Lu Chen will treat them as ordinary citizens of Daxia.

At this moment, Li Qingrou fell silent. Seeing that Li Qingrou did not speak, Lu Chen placed his claws on her already tattered phoenix robe.

For the past ten days or so, on the way to the capital of Dayue, Lu Chen had been holding Li Qingrou in an ambiguous position. For him, his patience had long since reached its limit.

Just as Li Qingrou was about to say something, she heard a tearing sound. She quickly twisted her body and tried to struggle, but the more she struggled, the more frequently she came into physical contact with Lu Chen.

"You scoundrel! I am the ruler of Dayue, how dare you insult my purity!"

Lu Chen ignored Li Qingrou's words. He put his arm around Li Qingrou and then used one hand to turn her head slightly and kiss her red lips.

"Mmm..."

This was Li Qingrou's first time kissing a man. She initially wanted to struggle, but soon she found her mind clearing up as if she had come into contact with something invigorating.

Li Qingrou was puzzled. What was going on?

Why does kissing a man make me so energetic?

However, this feeling did not last long, and soon her consciousness became hazy.

A voice deep within her kept reminding her that she was the ruler of Dayue and absolutely could not allow the enemy to kill her here. But no matter how she called out to that voice, it was no use; she was completely caught up in it.

Just as Li Qingrou's mind was in a daze, she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Hmm!"

Li Qingrou instantly snapped back to reality. Even as someone who cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, she felt both ashamed and furious. That damned bastard, he actually…

Li Qingrou immediately cursed Lu Chen in her heart.

asshole!

How dare you treat me like this!

I must kill him!

The die is cast, and Li Qingrou has gradually accepted her fate, at least for the time being.

Given her current situation, with her spiritual power sealed and her body powerless, she had no way to resist whatever Wu Yunwan's male concubine wanted to do to her.

Soon, Li Qingrou also came to a realization. Lu Chen had already consummated his marriage with Wu Junwan, and now Lu Chen had taken away her innocence, which meant that she had indirectly had physical intimacy with Wu Junwan as well.

Of course, this was just her way of comforting herself.

Under Lu Chen's manipulation, Li Qingrou quickly became confused. Lu Chen smiled and whispered in her ear, "Yunwan is right. We have to use a tougher approach with you, otherwise you won't submit."

Hearing this, Li Qingrou sobered up a bit. She took a breath and said, "Phew... Yunwan would never say such a thing."

Even at this point, she still refused to believe that Wu Junwan had betrayed him.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "When you get to Dayue, go and ask her if she said anything like that."

At this point, Lu Chen turned Li Qingrou over so that she was facing him.

Li Qingrou's originally icy face was now flushed.

Li Qingrou stared intently at Lu Chen, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.

Lu Chen ignored Li Qingrou's gaze and continued to do as he pleased.

Lu Chen then said, "You usually hold court here, right?"

"If the ministers of Dayue knew that you and I were doing this kind of thing in this place, I wonder what they would think?"

Hearing Lu Chen's humiliating words, Li Qingrou felt incredibly ashamed, but what could she do? She regretted not committing suicide sooner, instead being captured alive by this guy and becoming his plaything.

However, just as Li Qingrou felt extremely humiliated, she suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy in her body seemed to have started to circulate, and a special spiritual energy entered her body, forming a cycle with the spiritual energy in her body.

It seemed as if the barriers that had bound her cultivation for so many years had been completely broken at this moment.

Li Qingrou was puzzled. What was going on?

Wasn't she on the path of ruthlessness? Why would losing her virginity cause her cultivation to falter?

The world of mist is different from this world.

In the Misty World, even if a cultivator reaches the Dao Integration stage and becomes a pseudo-celestial being, they will not have any understanding of how to become a celestial being.

One can only become a celestial being through one's own understanding.

Li Qingrou became a pseudo-celestial being in the Misty World, so she always thought that as long as she continued to follow the Path of Ruthlessness, she would be able to break through and become a celestial being.

But she didn't expect that the Celestials of the Misty World were different from those of this world. The condition for her to become a Celestial in this world was that she was defeated by a man stronger than her and became that man's woman.

By a twist of fate, Lu Chen ended up helping Li Qingrou become a celestial being. (End of Chapter)
