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

Li Qingrou knew that as long as Lu Chen, that lecherous man, came here, she would inevitably suffer some torment tonight, so she was too lazy to resist anymore.

However, before she was tortured, she still planned to tell Lu Chen something.

"Does His Majesty intend to personally lead an expedition against the Great Qian?" Li Qingrou asked.

Hearing Li Qingrou's question, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Rourou is so well-informed. She already knows about things that were only decided today."

Li Qingrou ignored Lu Chen's words. The newspapers had already been spreading the news all over the streets and alleys by the afternoon. How could she not know about this?

Li Qingrou then said, "You recently decided to disband all the sects within the Great Xia territory. Now, instead of staying in Yan City, you're going to attack the Great Qian. Aren't you afraid that when you return, Yan City will have already been occupied by those sects?"

Lu Chen looked surprised. "Oh? From what you're saying, you've heard something about it?"

Li Qingrou said calmly, "Someone invited me to join forces with them to take control of Yancheng after you leave."

Li Qingrou is the Empress of Dayue. In the eyes of those sects and forces, Li Qingrou must be very unwilling to see Dayue destroyed, nor is she willing to become Lu Chen's plaything.

Given the chance, Li Qingrou will definitely rebel, which is why those sects and forces want to invite her.

Those people clearly did not expect that Li Qingrou had already won over Lu Chen's heart. Although Li Qingrou still had some resistance to Lu Chen, now that Wu Yunwan was pregnant with Lu Chen's child, and that Wu Yunwan's conditions for becoming a Celestial were closely related to Lu Chen, Li Qingrou would naturally stand on Lu Chen's side.

Upon hearing Li Qingrou's truthful account, Lu Chen immediately tightened his grip on Li Qingrou's waist, bringing her hips even closer to his body.

"I never expected you to tell me this. It seems my Rou Rou has fallen in love with me."

Upon sensing Lu Chen's burning passion, Li Qingrou immediately said coldly, "The reason I told you this is out of consideration for Yun Wan. Don't flatter yourself."

At this point, Li Qingrou twisted her waist, trying to get rid of Lu Chen, but Lu Chen's large hand was very strong, and Li Qingrou could not break free.

Seeing that she couldn't break free from Lu Chen's control, Li Qingrou stopped struggling and let Lu Chen hold her.

Li Qingrou continued, "What are your plans next?"

"Those sects are quite powerful. There may be Celestials among them. If you leave Yan City, by the time you return, Yan City will probably have fallen into their hands."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Li Qingrou joined Lu Chen's harem later, so she doesn't know about the formation in Yancheng yet. She has heard of a formation in Yancheng, but she doesn't think that formation can withstand the siege of so many sects.

Although no celestial beings from sects intervened when Lu Chen destroyed Da Wu and Da Yue, it does not mean that there are no celestial beings in sects in this world.

In order to break through their life limit, most celestial beings are in seclusion and will not emerge unless they encounter special circumstances.

If Lu Chen were to disband the sects and forces of those Celestials, disbanding the forces they had painstakingly built up in the past, those hidden Celestials would inevitably emerge. No one could say for sure how many old guys nearing their end were hiding in this world.

If all those Celestials gather in Yan City, once Lu Chen, who is capable of eliminating Celestials, leaves, they will inevitably join forces to conquer Yan City, imprisoning all of Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children to threaten him.

Li Qingrou didn't believe that Lu Chen couldn't possibly be unaware of these things. She really couldn't understand what gave Lu Chen the courage to leave Yancheng at a time like this.

Does this guy really not care about his wives, concubines, and children at all?

Li Qingrou was naturally not worried about her safety. She was a celestial being, and a celestial being who had comprehended sword intent. She wanted to take Wu Yunwan away and protect her easily.

What she was worried about was that if Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children were arrested, they would threaten Lu Chen. If Lu Chen revealed a weakness and was eliminated by the combined forces of those sects, wouldn't Wu Yunwan's path to becoming a Celestial Being be cut off?

Moreover, Wu Yunwan was pregnant, and she didn't want her best friend's child to be born without a father.

After hearing Li Qingrou's reminder, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much, Rou Rou. It seems you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart!"

Li Qingrou said coldly, "I've said it before, I'm only doing this for Yunwan's sake. I don't want anything to happen to you, or for Yunwan's path to immortality to be cut off because of you."

Lu Chen said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll take it as you doing this for Junwan."

At this point, Lu Chen asked, "I already knew about what you're talking about."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were both taken aback. Their eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if they could see through Lu Chen's thoughts.

Li Qingrou immediately said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"You intentionally spread the news that you were leaving Yancheng to attract powerful figures from those sects, so that you could then appear and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Hearing Li Qingrou's analysis, Lu Chen chuckled, "It wasn't intentional. I really do intend to head south to attack the Great Qian."

"If the Great Qian Dynasty is to be destroyed, those sects and forces must also be wiped out."

Li Qingrou sneered and said, "You can only mobilize four Celestials at most, and they have to go south with you to attack Daqian. I don't believe you didn't see the situation in Daqian. You couldn't possibly not send other Celestials with you."

In Li Qingrou's view, Lu Chen could only mobilize four Celestial Realm experts. These four Celestial Realm experts would most likely go south with Lu Chen. Even if one or two stayed behind, if those sects and forces had many Celestial Realm experts, one or two might not be their match.

As soon as Li Qingrou finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his hand to support her chin, then looked directly into her eyes and said, "Who told you I can only command four Celestial Beings?"

"Aren't you a celestial being? Not only you, but I also have a master in the Xuan Yue Palace. With you two here, I naturally feel at ease."

"Furthermore, I don't plan to bring too many Celestials south."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou was momentarily stunned.

She forgot that there was a Celestial in Xuan Yue Palace. Xuan Yue Palace had long been on Lu Chen's side, and if Lu Chen encountered any trouble, Xuan Yue Palace would definitely step in.

However, on the other hand, since Xuan Yue Palace is on Lu Chen's side, it is only natural for them to help Lu Chen. Why should they help Lu Chen?

Thinking this, Xuan Yuegong coldly replied, "I'm nobody to you, why should I help you?"

"Do you really think that a woman whose body you forcibly took will help you when you're in trouble?"

"Ridiculous! Who do you take me for?"

Li Qingrou thought to herself, her chastity had been forcibly taken by this man, and she was constantly being humiliated by him. If she were to stand up for him, wouldn't she be acting like a fool? (End of Chapter)
