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

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong was a little confused. Did he want to discuss something with her?

She has long since severed all ties with the Taiyin Divine Sect, and she has already told Lu Chen everything she knows about it.

For Lu Chen, her only value now is probably as a plaything. What could Lu Chen possibly want to discuss with her at this time?

Xue Linglong said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what's on your mind."

Lu Chen did not answer directly. Instead, he put his arms under Xue Linglong's armpits, wrapped them around her waist, and then pushed her onto the soft couch.

After laying Xue Linglong down on the soft couch, Lu Chen stroked her black gauze dress and whispered in her ear, "No rush, I'm a little hungry now, let's eat dinner first."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong glanced at Lu Chen speechlessly. She thought it was something important, but now it seemed that it was probably nothing serious.

Xue Linglong didn't say anything more and let Lu Chen touch her.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Linglong lay on the soft couch, gazing at Lu Chen, her eyes misty and her face flushed.

Lu Chen then spoke up, saying, "Lend me the Yin-Yang Mirror in a few days."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong sobered up a bit. She chuckled to herself. No wonder this guy only brought it up now; it turned out it was about the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Xue Linglong said weakly, "This servant belongs entirely to Your Majesty, and my things naturally belong to Your Majesty as well. Whatever Your Majesty desires, please take it."

The Yin-Yang Mirror was originally a spiritual artifact of the Taiyin Divine Sect. It can change a person's appearance and also hide their aura, making it difficult even for celestial beings to detect.

Xue Linglong had used the Yin-Yang Mirror to conceal her cultivation level before, but unfortunately, the Yin-Yang Mirror was useless against Lu Chen, who saw through her true identity at a glance.

Upon hearing Xue Linglong's reply, Lu Chen smiled and said, "My Linglong is so sensible. I'll reward you properly today."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he began to increase the intensity. Xue Linglong let out a soft cry and glared at Lu Chen. This guy was really repaying kindness with enmity. She had already lent him the Yin-Yang Mirror, and he was still being violent towards her.

After Lu Chen gave Xue Linglong enough rewards, it was almost dawn outside. At this moment, Xue Linglong was slumped against Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen then asked, "Is there anything you're not used to about staying in the palace?"

Xue Linglong answered softly, "No."

Xue Linglong had long been accustomed to this kind of life. Now she goes to Wang Qingci's place every day to chat with him and see how he manages Tingyu Tower and how he takes care of the children.

At this moment, Xue Linglong asked, "Has Your Majesty found those people from the Taiyin Divine Cult?"

Lu Chen replied, "No, they've all hidden, but they won't be able to hide for long."

Lu Chen thought to himself that once he destroyed the Great Qian Dynasty and unified the world, his cultivation level would be able to improve again. Once his cultivation level broke through to a certain point and he obtained enough system rewards, he would surely be able to discover the whereabouts of those people from the Taiyin Divine Sect.

Of course, most importantly, he can pass on the Demon Burial Technique to his trusted confidants, and many people are already learning the Demon Burial Technique.

Once those people have mastered the Demon Burial Technique, they will be able to easily detect any members of the Taiyin Divine Cult when they encounter them in the future. At that time, those evil cultivators of the Taiyin Divine Cult will have nowhere to hide.

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Xue Linglong felt incredibly calm. She used to worry that Lu Chen was no match for the Taiyin Sect Leader, but as she spent more and more time with him, she gradually realized that she had completely underestimated this man.

It seems that Lu Chen truly is the chosen one that the Taiyin Sect Master spoke of.

The thought of becoming the woman of the chosen one filled Xue Linglong with a strange sense of pleasure.

Even though she was practically a kept woman or a slave in front of Lu Chen, she was still content.

Although Lu Chen was a bit rough, she rarely felt uncomfortable. Being with him brought her only happiness. She often wondered if everything she was experiencing was just a dream.

At this moment, Xue Linglong raised her slender hand, and the next moment, a box on the side of her bed opened by itself. Then, a black and white mirror flew out of the box and flew directly to Lu Chen's hand.

"Your Majesty, the Yin-Yang Mirror is of no use to me anymore. You may take it."

She's in Lu Chen's harem every day now, so there's no need for her to hide her strength. She hasn't used the Yin-Yang Mirror in a long time.

Lu Chen picked up the Yin-Yang Mirror, held it up, looked at it, and then said, "This mirror can change anyone's appearance, right?"

Xue Linglong replied, "Yes, and even celestial beings would find it difficult to discern."

Lu Chen said, "This is really a good thing."

"You've given me something so precious, I can't just take it for nothing. How about I give you a gift in return?"

Xue Linglong did not refuse Lu Chen, but asked curiously, "I wonder what gift Your Majesty is referring to?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and turned to look at his system interface.

[Congratulations, host, for getting Xue Linglong pregnant. Reward: the recipe for the Explosive Rune.]

[The pregnancy reward is an incentive; a more substantial reward will be given upon the safe delivery of the child.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Lu Chen's smile deepened.

Xue Linglong lay sprawled on Lu Chen, but she didn't see his smile. She couldn't get up at all and just wanted to stay on him.

However, seeing that Lu Chen did not answer for the time being, she became even more curious about what kind of gift Lu Chen was talking about.

After a while, Lu Chen whispered in Xue Linglong's ear, "Guess what gift I prepared for you?"

"This gift is very precious to you, and you will definitely love it in the future."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong became even more interested in the gift, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't figure out what kind of gift could make her feel that it was precious.

Since becoming Lu Chen's slave, she has lost interest in almost everything. It seems that only Lu Chen can bring her happiness.

After experiencing ultimate pleasure, no gift seemed to be of much value to her.

Just as Xue Linglong was thinking this, Lu Chen revealed the answer directly, "The gift is the child!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong was momentarily stunned.

child……

Xue Linglong had lived in Lu Chen's harem for quite some time, so she was very clear about the affairs of the harem. As soon as Lu Chen said this, she knew what it meant.

Lu Chen said he had prepared a gift for her, which means she must have already fallen for his trick.

This guy actually...

hateful!

She doesn't want to have children with this guy yet!

Wait a minute, Xue Linglong seemed to have thought of something. If she had a child, Lu Chen would definitely not come to her place as often, wouldn't that make things easier for her?

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong immediately said to Lu Chen, "This servant thanks Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "How about it? Is this gift precious enough for you?"

Xue Linglong replied, "It is precious. I will certainly cherish Your Majesty's gift."

Lu Chen then patted Xue Linglong's back and continued, "Alright, I have things to do today, you get some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen turned over, pulling Xue Linglong into his arms, and placed her soft, delicate body on the couch before going to the bathtub to take a shower. (End of Chapter)
