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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou chuckled and then handed the letter in her hand to Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen did not take the letter. He smiled and said, "I told you, I still believe in you. This is a letter from your master. How can I read it?"

Li Qingrou turned her head slightly and gave Lu Chen a meaningful look.

"You're becoming more and more hypocritical. You clearly really want to see it. If you didn't want to know what was in the letter, you wouldn't have come."

At this point, Li Qingrou directly told Lu Chen the contents of the letter, "In the letter, our master told us that the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect wants to use me and Yunwan as furnaces. She is afraid that after the restrictions on the Misty World disappear, the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect will attack us. She told us to find a place to hide and never show our faces again."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen was slightly stunned. Wu Yunwan and Li Qingrou were both disciples of the Mixian Sect, and they were even the personal disciples of an elder. How could the sect leader intend to use them as furnaces?

The sect leader of the Bewitching Immortal Sect is probably not a demonic cultivator.

However, is there anything special about Wu Yunwan and Li Qingrou that makes the sect leader of the Mixian Sect so interested in them instead of choosing others as furnace vessels?

It can't just be because they are beautiful. They must have something special about them, such as a special physique, that would make the sect leader of the Mixian Sect have designs on them.

Lu Chen then glanced at Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou and found that their updated information was similar to before, and the system did not mention that they possessed any special physical qualities.

Since they didn't have any special physiques, why would the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect be interested in the two of them? Could it be that the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect is also a lecherous man?

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it.

At this moment, Lu Chen's claws roamed over Li Qingrou's body, and he said while doing so, "So someone actually has designs on my wife. Then I'll have to give the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect a good talking to."

At this point, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the female disciples of the Bewitching Immortal Sect kneeling on the ground. "Qingrou, what do you plan to do with them?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the female disciples of the Bewitching Immortal Sect were immediately trembling with fear, and they quickly lowered their heads.

Li Qingrou said, "They are my master's people. I intend to keep them as maids. What does Your Majesty think?"

Although Li Qingrou did not intend to take their lives, the palace was, after all, Lu Chen's palace, and she could not make the decision herself.

Lu Chen didn't answer immediately. He glanced at the loyalty scores of these people. The loyalty scores of these women were all exceptionally high, with the lowest being 80.

Staying in the palace wouldn't be a big problem.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said, "Okay."

Seeing that Lu Chen had agreed, the female disciples said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Consort Li, and Consort Wu."

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, you can all leave now."

Several female disciples of the Bewitching Immortal Sect immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately afterwards, led by the Jinyiwei soldiers, several female disciples of the Mixian Sect temporarily left the courtyard.

After they left, Wu Junwan, who was holding the child, asked, "Your Majesty, after the restrictions on the Misty World disappear, I wonder if we could write a letter to our master and try to win her over?"

In Wu Yunwan's view, although their two masters also had their own stances, Su Hanyan had long been disgusted by the Misty Immortal Sect's numerous evil deeds in the Misty World.

If Su Hanyan could be brought to the Tianchen World and to the side of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty would not only lose a powerful enemy, but also gain a fighting force.

Although Su Hanyan is not as strong as Han Yuankai, she still has no problem holding him back.

After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Will your master agree to let you come here?"

Li Qingrou said, "It's hard to say. She has long disapproved of the Misty Immortal Sect's practices, but she has been in the Misty World and has nowhere else to go."

Lu Chen said, "Even if she dislikes the Misty Immortal Sect, she shouldn't betray it so easily. The Misty Immortal Sect is currently the most powerful force in the Misty World. For her, staying in the Misty Immortal Sect would be far more beneficial than leaving it."

Before Wu Yunwan could say anything, Lu Chen continued, "However, you can try first, make her want to leave the Misty Immortal Sect. Once she sees my immortal ship, she might switch sides on the battlefield."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan said, "Then I will thank His Majesty on behalf of my master."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "No need to thank me. You are my wives. Since she is your master, she is also my master."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou felt a chill run down their spines; they sensed something was off about what Lu Chen had said.

The thought that Lu Chen had already taken advantage of their own master made them wonder if he had developed feelings for their master as well.

Moreover, their master is indeed very beautiful, exuding an ethereal aura. If Lu Chen were to see her, she might end up becoming his woman.

Just as Lu Chen was about to continue speaking, another female Imperial Guard soldier arrived at the courtyard gate. "Your Majesty! There's new information! They're from the Misty World!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said to Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan, "Ladies, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

Wu Yunwan said, "Your Majesty, please go about your business."

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, and then teleported directly to the Imperial Study.

When Lu Chen arrived at the Imperial Study, Qin Yushan and several disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect were already waiting. Upon seeing Lu Chen's sudden appearance, they all hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need for formalities. How is the situation in the Misty World?"

The disciples of the Myriad Immortals Sect immediately took out a letter and handed it to Lu Chen. "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Sect Master to you."

"Now all the forces in the Mist World have submitted to the three major powers, and the three major powers have formed a new confrontation."

Lu Chen took the letter from the Wanxian Sect disciple, opened it, and began to read it carefully.

Upon reading Ji Hongwen's letter, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. The three major powers had completed their division of the Mist World, which didn't seem so bad.

Once the restrictions on the Misty World disappear, as long as the Misty Immortal Sect and the Spirit Fox Sect are dealt with, those forces that depend on these two major powers will naturally surrender, which will save a lot of trouble.

Of course, generally speaking, the more powerful forces there are, the more beneficial it is to the Tianchen World and the Great Xia Dynasty, because the more powerful forces there are, the more conflicts of interest there will be. At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty can use the contradictions between various forces to sow discord.

However, all these schemes and tricks are based on the premise that one's own strength is insufficient and there is no way to directly defeat the enemy. Once the Great Xia Dynasty has the strength to sweep away the enemy, Great Xia will no longer need to use those methods.

The restrictions on the Misty World won't disappear for several more years, giving him ample time to develop rune weapons and improve his strength.

Lu Chen is already at the third level of the Creation Realm. At his current rate of improvement, he will be able to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm in less than a year.

In five years, he could very well break through to the Myriad Laws Realm.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said to Qin Yushan and the disciples of the Spirit Fox Sect, "You can go about your business."

Everyone said in unison, "We take our leave."

Qin Yushan and the others then left the Imperial Study. Lu Chen sat down in his seat and asked the system, "System, when will the sub-world inside Chu Yuqin's belly be able to mature?"

The system replied, "At the current rate of development, it will be mature in less than two years."

Lu Chen asked, "Could I inquire beforehand what the rewards for nurturing a child in this world are?"

The system replied, "Host, please wait patiently."

Seeing that the system was unwilling to talk, Lu Chen was too lazy to ask. Two years wasn't too long, so he decided to just wait.

……

Time flies. In the following days, Lu Chen cultivated with his wives and concubines in the harem. Lu Chen didn't know if there were any downsides to this cultivation method in the long run, but for now, this dual cultivation method could help him quickly improve his cultivation level.

Several months later.

Bai Qingqing's room.

Bai Qingqing lay quietly on the bed, waiting for the birth of her child. She had never imagined that she, a shadow guard trained from childhood and a tool of the Xia Emperor, would one day have a husband and bear children for her man.

Just then, a figure appeared silently beside the bed. The midwives and maids waiting in the room immediately knelt down and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Lu Chen hummed in agreement. "Get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen sat down on the edge of the bed, took Bai Qingqing's delicate hand, and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, you're going to be a mother soon, are you happy?"

Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I am happy."

Seeing Bai Qingqing's expression, Lu Chen chuckled again. Bai Qingqing was just as adorable as ever.

This is not Bai Qingqing's fault. Bai Qingqing was raised from childhood to be an emotionless tool. Even after becoming Lu Chen's woman, she rarely showed any other expression except when she was shy while doing that kind of thing with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen raised his other hand and gently stroked Bai Qingqing's beautiful face. Bai Qingqing couldn't help but raise her own hand and grasp Lu Chen's large hand that was stroking her cheek. Then she looked into Lu Chen's eyes.

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Hearing Bai Qingqing's thanks, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback. Just then, Bai Qingqing's lips curled up slightly, her eyes closed gently, revealing a tender smile.

Bai Qingqing's smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel very comfortable. Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had ever seen this ice beauty, Bai Qingqing, smile like that.

Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, Bai Qingqing suddenly frowned. Lu Chen reacted instantly and immediately channeled his life force into Bai Qingqing. (End of Chapter)
