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

After spending some time "farming" in Heilongcheng with Yun Xianxian, Lu Chen took Yun Xianxian back to Yancheng.

Yun Xianxian didn't want to go back with Lu Chen. She thought that it was the same whether she was in Black Dragon City or Yan City, since they were in the same world. Lu Chen wanted to cultivate with her, and the immortal boat could travel from Yan City to Black Dragon City in the blink of an eye.

Of course, the main reason she didn't want to go back was that Lu Chen's women were all in Yancheng, and she didn't like sharing a husband with other women. At the very least, she didn't want to see Lu Chen doing that kind of thing with other women.

Yun Xianxian knew in her heart that she was no match for Lu Chen on her own, but she still had a strong possessive desire for Lu Chen.

Ultimately, under Lu Chen's relentless pressure, Yun Xianxian couldn't withstand his methods and chose to return to Yancheng with him.

Yun Xianxian has no way to deal with Lu Chen, this rebellious disciple, and can only go along with him.

After returning to Yancheng, Lu Chen became a hands-off manager, leaving almost all government affairs to Zhuge Chongguang, while he spent his days cultivating and helping Chu Yuqin conceive her child world.

He was very curious about what kind of reward he would receive from the system once the sub-world within Chu Yuqin's body matured.

Yancheng.

The Imperial Palace.

Lu Chen was exercising in Chu Yuqin's room when a maid's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty, Commander Qin said that he has captured several spies from the Mixian Sect. The spies said that they were sent by the Grand Elder of the Mixian Sect to find Consort Wu and Consort Li."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "The Grand Elder of the Bewitching Immortal Sect?"

The maid continued, "According to the spies, the Grand Elder of the Bewitching Immortal Sect is the master of Consort Wu and Consort Li."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Have Qin Yushan take those spies to see Consort Wu and Consort Li, and see what they have to say. I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes."

After giving his instructions, Lu Chen continued to focus his attention on Chu Yuqin. Chu Yuqin lay on the soft couch, her eyes misty, and gazed at Lu Chen, asking, "Chen'er, what's the difference between this small world and the small world of cultivators?"

Lu Chen said, "I don't know either. I'll only know the specifics once you've nurtured your sub-world to maturity."

Lu Chen was also curious about the specific reason why the system wanted his wives and concubines to have children. Although the system said that this would help him reproduce more offspring, he always felt that the real reason was not that.

The beings born through the sub-world have no blood relation to him. Can they still be considered his offspring?

There's no use thinking about it now. We'll only know the specifics once the first sub-world matures. With that thought, Lu Chen leaned down and kissed Chu Yuqin's red lips, focusing on his task.

at the same time.

Wu Yunwan and Li Qingrou sat in the pavilion, drinking afternoon tea. Wu Yunwan coaxed the child in her arms while chatting with Li Qingrou about the Misty World.

Li Qingrou said, "The Misty Immortal Sect has already sent in about three batches of disciples, but our master hasn't sent anyone to look for us yet. Something's not right."

Wu Yunwan gently rocked the child in her arms and said, "Could it be that His Majesty mistakenly killed the disciple sent by Master?"

Their master sent disciples to the Misty World, so they must have come with the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect. In Lu Chen's eyes, the people sent by their master were mixed in with the Misty Immortal Sect.

Lu Chen eliminated so many disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect; perhaps some of them were sent by their master.

Upon hearing Wu Yunwan's speculation, Li Qingrou snorted and said, "That's hard to say. Perhaps that man knew that some of the people sent by our master were among them, but he didn't trust us, so he simply killed all the people sent by our master as well."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Wu Junwan smiled gently, "Qingrou, why have you been so resentful towards His Majesty these past few days? Is it because he didn't come to see you after he returned?"

Li Qingrou said calmly, "What resentment? He's always been this kind of person. It's not like he's incapable of doing something like this."

Just as Li Qingrou finished speaking, a female soldier in the Jinyiwei uniform entered the courtyard, "Greetings, Consort Wu, Consort Li!"

Seeing that they were Jinyiwei soldiers, Li Qingrou asked curiously, "What business do you Jinyiwei have?"

The Imperial Guard soldier replied, "Reporting to Consort Li, the Imperial Guard has captured some spies from the Misty Immortal Sect in the past few days. According to their confessions, they were disciples sent by your two masters. His Majesty has ordered us to bring those spies to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were both taken aback. They had just been saying that their master had not sent anyone to look for them, but immediately the Jinyiwei soldiers said that spies from the Mixian Sect had come looking for them.

Li Qingrou then said, "Where are those people now? Bring them here."

The Imperial Guard soldier said, "Please wait a moment, they are on their way."

Not long after, some Jinyiwei soldiers brought several women dressed in coarse cloth to Li Qingrou and her companions.

Although the women were all beautiful, their clothes were patched and mended, making them look like poor people.

The women were overjoyed to see Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan. They thought they were going to die in prison, but they never expected to see Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou again.

With Wu Yunwan and Li Qingrou there, they are saved.

At this moment, the women quickly spoke up, saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister Wu, Senior Sister Li!"

Wu Junwan glanced at the women and then said, "You all look somewhat familiar."

The woman who had spoken earlier quickly replied, "Senior Sister Wu, we are both disciples of Yunhai Peak, and we have met before."

Wu Yunwan said, "I see. Then why are you dressed like this?"

Upon hearing Wu Junwan's question, the women were taken aback. After a moment, one of them spoke up: "Senior Sister Wu, when we first arrived in the Tianchen World, we heard that the Great Xia had wiped out all the cultivators in the Misty World, and that they were still capturing cultivators from the Misty World. We had no choice but to disguise ourselves like this."

Li Qingrou said calmly, "You are all outstanding in appearance and have an ethereal air. You are clearly not women from poor families. Dressing so shabbily only makes people more suspicious."

Hearing this, the women felt extremely ashamed. One of them said, "Senior Sister Li is right. We didn't think things through."

Li Qingrou continued, "Tell me, why did Master send you to find the two of us?"

As Li Qingrou finished speaking, a woman took out two letters. "Master told us to give these two letters to our two senior sisters and to remind them to find a place to hide and never come out again."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were stunned. They hadn't expected their master to make them hide.

Could something have happened in the Misty World?

With a wave of her hand, Li Qingrou sent the two letters into her and Wu Junwan's hands. The two then opened the letters Su Hanyan had given them and began to read them carefully.

After reading the letter, they finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Han Yuankai wanted to use the two of them as furnaces, no wonder their master had told them to hide.

In the past, the two of them might have needed to worry, but now they both have men, and Lu Chen is their biggest support.

They felt nothing after reading the contents of the letter.

Li Qingrou glanced at the women present, then said to them, "My master said he wants to take you as disciples, so I won't make things difficult for you. If you want to go back, then go back immediately."

Upon hearing this, the women not only didn't leave, but instead knelt down, crying, "Senior Sister Li, Senior Sister Wu, we want to follow you!"

After arriving in this world, they heard a lot about the Great Xia Dynasty, about the Xia Emperor, and about the immortal ship.

Not only had they heard about it, but when Lu Chen came back last time, they also saw his fairy boat.

Such a massive celestial vessel also proves the Xia Emperor's extraordinary status. They are not fools; rather than continuing to stay in the Misty Immortal Sect and live in constant fear, it would be better to join the Great Xia Dynasty. Their senior sister is the Xia Emperor's imperial concubine, which is the best opportunity for them.

Seeing them kneel down, Li Qingrou smiled faintly and then said, "You are very smart."

In her letter, Su Hanyan said that if these women insisted on going back, they should be eliminated, because that way no one would know the whereabouts of Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou.

Their decision to stay actually saved their lives.

Although Su Hanyan doesn't enjoy killing indiscriminately like Han Yuankai, she can still be ruthless for the sake of her personal disciple.

She wouldn't feel any pity even if these female disciples died.

Li Qingrou then said, "From today onwards, you will be our maids."

Upon hearing this, the women immediately expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Wu Junwan then reminded him, "Qingrou and I are both His Majesty's Noble Consorts. In the palace, please do not call me Senior Sister."

The women immediately changed their address, saying, "Thank you, Consort Wu and Consort Li."

Just as the women finished addressing each other, a man's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Qingrou, Yunwan, what news did your master bring you?"

As soon as the voice faded, Lu Chen walked in from the doorway.

Li Qingrou chuckled and said, "I thought Your Majesty didn't want to know at all."

Li Qingrou knew that Lu Chen was worried about them. In her opinion, Lu Chen must suspect that their master was sending them a message, asking them to cooperate with the Misty Immortal Sect to control the entire Tianchen World.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen teleported behind Li Qingrou, put his arm around her slender waist, and said with a smile, "I trust both of you ladies. If there's any important news, I'm sure you'll tell me on your own." (End of Chapter)
