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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, the two women stopped arguing.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Sister Liu feels that Your Majesty only favored me and not her just now, so she is a little unhappy."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's gaze fell on Liu Qingqiu, and he asked with a smile, "Qingqiu, is that so?"

Before Liu Qingqiu could say anything, Lu Chen teleported to her side and pinned her soft body down, gazing into her beautiful eyes.

"It was my fault; I neglected you."

"I... um..."

Before Liu Qingqiu could finish speaking, Lu Chen silenced her with a kiss.

The next moment, Lu Chen reached out a hand and grabbed Mu Yunxi's hand. In just a moment, the three of them returned to the Yancheng Imperial Palace and appeared on the soft couch in Liu Qingqiu's bedroom.

When the maid in Liu Qingqiu's palace heard the cry, she thought something had happened and hurriedly entered the room. However, upon seeing the overlapping figures in the room, she quickly retreated.

Soon, Liu Qingqiu's voice was heard.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong..."

"My husband..."

"Good...good brother..."

……

Seeing Liu Qingqiu's appearance, Mu Yunxi sneered, "What right does a woman who is even more wanton than me have to talk about me?"

After that, Mu Yunxi didn't bother to say anything more about Liu Qingqiu. She knew that Liu Qingqiu, like her, was unable to leave Lu Chen in this life.

……

Lu Chen did not spend too much time in Qingqiu Palace. The next morning, Lu Chen let Mu Yunxi and Liu Qingqiu go.

Neither of them possesses the conditions to create a small world now; at most, they can only cultivate. Lu Chen no longer has the same strong motivation as when he was trying to create children.

Of course, he also had other things to do. Now that they had the Flying Rainbow Immortal Boat, they could quickly enter the battlefield and easily pursue the invaders from the Misty World. Lu Chen needed to notify the generals to hold a military meeting to discuss tactics.

……

After the envoys of the Great Xia Dynasty entered Black Dragon City, they made contact with various forces in the Misty World. Because of the peace talks with the Great Xia Dynasty, the three major forces decided to temporarily refrain from taking action against other forces until the peace talks ended.

However, after the envoys from the Great Xia Dynasty made contact with the Spirit Fox Sect and the Bewitching Immortal Sect, the relationship between the three major forces seemed to become tense again.

Finally, Bai Guangyu and the other two met again at a restaurant. The three stood on the third-floor attic and remained silent for a long time, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qizheng finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Bai, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

No sooner had he spoken than Bai Guangyu rebuked him, saying, "I never expected that you two forces would secretly join forces to try and wipe out the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect who were sent into the Tianchen World, when I considered you as allies."

Upon hearing Bai Guangyu's words, Gu Qizheng and Baili Chen were both stunned. Before they could say anything, Bai Guangyu took the initiative to question them.

When did these two major forces secretly join forces?

When they first entered the Tianchen World, they found that there were no disciples of the Mixian Sect or the Linghu Sect in the Tianchen World. They did briefly unite, because at that time they believed that all of this was done by the Wanxian Sect.

At the time, they believed that only the Myriad Immortals Sect had the ability to attack the disciples of both of their major factions simultaneously.

However, what Bai Guangyu said later caused the disciples of the two major forces to become suspicious of each other again, and their brief alliance came to an end.

Bai Lichen then said, "Bai Guangyu, we haven't even settled accounts with the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect yet, and you're already making false accusations."

"The envoy from Great Xia has already told us that all the disciples of our Misty Immortal Sect were killed by disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect. Even the envoy from Great Xia said so, how can you still deny it?"

Hearing Baili Chen's words, Bai Guangyu was not in a hurry at all. He immediately said, "The Great Xia envoy also told me that your two major forces plan to use this as a pretext to attack our Wanxian Sect, attempting to unite and eliminate the disciples of the Wanxian Sect sent into the Tianchen World. What explanation do you, the Mixian Sect and the Linghu Sect, have for this?"

"The Great Xia envoy also told me that your two major powers intend to win over Great Xia and attack our Ten Thousand Immortals Sect on the very day of the peace talks."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qi frowned and said, "Absurd! Our Spirit Fox Sect has never made such an agreement with Great Xia."

Baili Chen also said, "Our Mixian Sect has never had such cooperation with the Great Xia before."

The three fell silent at this point, before Baili Chen spoke first, saying, "I see!"

"I see!"

"No wonder the Great Xia sent so many envoys to contact the forces of the Misty World. It turns out they were planning to use this method to sow discord. It seems we have all fallen into the Xia Emperor's trap."

Baili Chen thought for a moment, "Since the Emperor of Great Xia wants to use this method to sow discord between us, then let's play along and make him really believe that we've fallen out."

Gu Qizheng said, "I agree."

Bai Guangyu thought for a moment and said, "I agree. In that case, we should make some preparations."

Gu Qizheng asked, "What are you preparing?"

Before Bai Guangyu could speak, Baili Chen said, "Since Great Xia wants to sow discord among the various powers, they will definitely take some action, especially during the peace talks. What do you think we should prepare?"

Upon hearing Baili Chen's reminder, Gu Qizheng immediately realized what was going on and said, "To catch the thief, first catch the king?"

Baili Chen said with a smile, "If the Great Xia Dynasty makes a move, then we will also prepare in advance. We will ambush a large number of disciples at the place of negotiation. As long as the Xia Emperor dares to come, we will imprison him directly. Then, how to divide the land of the Great Xia Dynasty will be up to us three major forces."

The Xia Emperor is still nominally the ruler of this world. If we can hold him hostage, it will definitely have some effect on controlling this secular world. Other forces must also understand this, and there will definitely be many forces that want to take advantage of the Xia Emperor.

Therefore, regardless of their position, the three major forces should make preparations in advance, partly to capture Emperor Xia, and partly to prevent other forces from coveting Emperor Xia.

Upon hearing Baili Chen's words, Gu Qizheng smiled and said, "I see."

Gu Qizheng and Baili Chen then burst into laughter, as if in their eyes the Xia Emperor was already a prisoner.

Seeing the two laughing so happily, Bai Guangyu also smiled. Since the two major forces planned to send disciples to ambush, it would be relatively easier for the Great Xia Dynasty to wipe out these invaders in one fell swoop.

The three major powers have all sent all their disciples to the peace negotiation location. When the other powers see this, they will surely follow suit and send all their disciples who have entered the Tianchen World to the peace negotiation location as well.

The fact that all three major powers have sent so many disciples to participate in the peace talks is a cause for concern. Even if it weren't for the Great Xia Dynasty, other powers would still be wary of the three major powers. What if the three major powers overturn the table during the peace talks?

This is highly likely. After all, the land of Tianchen World is very important to the forces of their Misty World. Everyone wants to occupy more land. Only by occupying more land and removing the restrictions of the Misty World can they achieve better development.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was time for Xue Linglong to give birth.

Xue Linglong and Bai Qingqing were pregnant before the system upgrade, which is now the easiest way to get a childbirth reward. Lu Chen really wanted to know what the system would reward him with this time.

Before Xue Linglong gave birth, Lu Chen arrived at her palace early and sat by her bedside. Xue Linglong was deeply moved to see that Lu Chen had come to her so early in the morning.

Since she became pregnant with Lu Chen's child, her personality has changed drastically. This is typical of Lu Chen's women; after becoming pregnant, they become less unrestrained and their overall demeanor changes, becoming more maternal.

Xue Linglong, this charming woman, has now shed her wanton temperament and become more like a noblewoman.

Lu Chen raised his hand and stroked Xue Linglong's beautiful face, saying, "Back then, she absolutely refused to have my child, but now she's going to have my child."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong blushed and said, "Your Majesty, please don't humiliate me. I'm about to become a mother."

Hearing Xue Linglong's coquettish tone, Lu Chen was somewhat tempted. Although Xue Linglong was now like a noblewoman, her inherent charm had not changed at all.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "You know you're about to become a mother, yet you're still acting like a child towards me at a time like this."

At this point, Lu Chen placed his hand on Xue Linglong's protruding belly and continued, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Xue Linglong replied, "No, everything is fine. The baby seems to be asleep."

Lu Chen then channeled some spiritual energy into Xue Linglong and checked the condition of the baby in her womb. Just as Xue Linglong had said, the baby was very quiet and seemed to be asleep.

Since the child wasn't causing any trouble, Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry to get her out.

Lu Chen then stayed by Xue Linglong's side. After about an hour, Xue Linglong's belly suddenly moved. Sensing the movement of the child inside her, Xue Linglong quickly said, "Your Majesty, the child has woken up."

Lu Chen then checked the child's condition and found that she did indeed want to come out. Without hesitation, Lu Chen poured more spiritual energy into Xue Linglong's body, and that spiritual energy quickly enveloped the child inside Xue Linglong's belly.

Inside the room, the midwife and maids were already prepared.

A moment later, Xue Linglong's belly deflated rapidly, and then the cry of a baby echoed in the room.

The next moment, a system notification sounded in Lu Chen's mind.

"Congratulations, host, on gaining an offspring. Reward: Black Dragon Sacred Land." (End of Chapter)
