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

Lu Chen has not yet managed to get any Celestial Realm cultivators to fall victim to his schemes, but he believes that once he reaches the Celestial Realm, the chances of Li Qingrou conceiving his child will greatly increase.

Now that both the Great Wu and the Great Yue have been destroyed, all that remains is the Great Qian Dynasty. Once the Great Qian is destroyed, he will be able to become a Celestial Being and begin the next stage of his power enhancement.

At this moment, Li Qingrou asked, "What are your plans for dealing with the other members of the Dayue royal family?"

Although there are relatively few members of the royal family in Dayue, dealing with them is still a troublesome matter.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I will not kill them. I will have them all moved to Yancheng. They can still enjoy wealth and honor there."

In any case, the royal property of Dayue has already been seized by Daxia. Taking out a portion of it will ensure the wealth and prosperity of this generation of Dayue royals. As for the next generation, that's a matter for the future.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reply, Li Qingrou fell silent, saying nothing more. She had roughly guessed that Lu Chen would do this, as it would demonstrate that he was a benevolent ruler and that this was preparation for attacking Da Qian.

Seeing that Li Qingrou didn't speak anymore, Lu Chen's hands began to roam over Li Qingrou's body again. Lu Chen sighed and said, "No wonder she is Yunwan's good sister, her body is so soft."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou didn't pay much attention to them and tried her best to control her emotions.

Seeing that Li Qingrou still didn't speak, Lu Chen put his arm around her and walked towards the edge of the bath. Lu Chen had a strong desire to play with new things, and every time he got that woman, he would play with her for a long time.

Seeing Lu Chen push her to the edge of the bathtub, Li Qingrou turned to look at him and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"You... Ugh!!!"

Before Li Qingrou could finish speaking, Lu Chen silenced her again, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Then the water in the bath churned and the steam grew increasingly intense.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qingrou spoke softly, her jade-like arm resting on the edge of the bathtub, her head nestled in it, and said weakly, "Phew, you really don't plan to deal with Da Yue's matter first?"

The Great Yue Kingdom has been destroyed for many days now, but this guy has been doing *that* with me in the Golden Palace, showing absolutely no interest in handling state affairs.

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need, my generals can handle it."

Before attacking Dayue, they had already made plans on how to attack Dayue, how to take over Dayue after destroying it, and how to govern Dayue. All of these had been discussed and agreed upon, so Lu Chen didn't need to do anything.

Now that the war is temporarily over, Lu Chen can finally enjoy himself.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Li Qingrou immediately cursed Lu Chen in her heart as a "tyrant".

She had heard of incompetent rulers who were obsessed with women, and there were many incompetent rulers in history who lost their countries because of their obsession with women. But this was the first time she had encountered an incompetent ruler like Lu Chen who did those things for several days in a row. He really didn't care about the country he had built.

Li Qingrou couldn't help but feel confused. Could such a person really manage the entire Great Xia Dynasty? Were there really people willing to follow him?

Although she had many doubts about Lu Chen, Li Qingrou didn't voice them. If she did, he probably wouldn't let her off the hook, and she didn't know how long it would last.

Although she is a celestial being, she is not strong enough to do those things with this guy every ten days or half a month.

Li Qingrou then said, "I can be your woman, but I have a few conditions."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately became interested. "Oh? Weren't you supposed to be unyielding to the death? Why the sudden change of heart?"

"You're not lying to me, planning to assassinate me or commit suicide after I release you, are you?"

Li Qingrou said calmly, "My word is always my bond."

Lu Chen put his arm around Li Qingrou's slender waist and said, "Oh, then tell me, what kind of requirements do you have?"

Li Qingrou then said, "Once we arrive in Yancheng, I will live with Yunwan."

Upon hearing this first request, Lu Chen chuckled inwardly. Live with Wu Junwan?

What kind of request is this?

For him, this wasn't even a request; on the contrary, it was a good thing, as he wouldn't have to travel around so much anymore.

I wonder what Li Qingrou will think when she sees Murong Xue'er, the one who was sent to her side back then.

Lu Chen asked, "Besides this requirement, are there any other requirements?"

Li Qingrou said, "Release your control over me."

Li Qingrou always felt that she was being controlled by this man. Otherwise, how could someone who cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness become like a wanton woman? This was clearly illogical.

Lu Chen then said, "There is no such thing as control."

Seeing that Lu Chen was still denying it, Li Qingrou said coldly, "If you are unwilling to release yourself from my control, I would rather commit suicide."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Look, you've already said that. If I really had the means to control you, do you think I would release you? What if you committed suicide? Wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?"

Li Qingrou raised an eyebrow and fell silent.

That's true. Even if this man really had a way to control himself, he couldn't possibly break free from that control at this moment.

However, she didn't expect Lu Chen to be able to break free from her control. What she said earlier was actually a test to see if Lu Chen really had any way to control her.

Now it seems that this man probably does indeed have such a method.

Thinking about it this way, this man also used a similar control technique on Wu Yunwan. In order to help Wu Yunwan escape from this man, Li Qingrou plans to compromise for the time being, and then find a way to break the control in the future before causing trouble for this man.

Lu Chen leaned down, stroking her hair with one hand, and whispered in her ear, "Rou Rou, do you have any other requests?"

Hearing Lu Chen call her Rou Rou, Li Qing Rou, who had always held a high position, immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

How could this man even say that?!

Li Qingrou coldly said, "I haven't thought of any other demands yet. If you find me troublesome, just kill me!"

Lu Chen chuckled. "You're saying that again. Didn't I say I would never kill my own woman?"

"However, I do have a request for you."

"What are your requirements?" Li Qingrou asked.

Lu Chen said, "A country cannot have two rulers. You'll have to change your tune from now on."

Li Qingrou sneered, "If you have the ability, then make me willingly change my mind... I..."

"what!"

Before Li Qingrou could finish speaking, Lu Chen interrupted her with his actions.

Lu Chen thought to himself, "He's willing, isn't he? He just doesn't believe he can't take down the emperor of this enemy country."
