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

Chapter 697 Now I finally understand why you can't live without that man.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Su Hanyan was taken aback. Right, how come she hadn't thought of this question?

Lu Chen's immortal ship reveals that he is no ordinary person. He must be a person of high status in some powerful force. With his status, what kind of woman wouldn't he have? Why would he need to choose someone from this world to shield him from calamity?

Once he returns to his faction, he could probably make countless female cultivators die for him with just a word, and he wouldn't need to control others with emotions at all.

Especially Lu Chen's last sentence, it seemed as if Lu Chen didn't care at all whether she would leave him.

It seems that Lu Chen really only wanted to get her body and enjoy sexual pleasure, and had no other intentions at all?

Could it be that she's overthinking things?

For a moment, Su Hanyan began to doubt whether her guess was wrong.

Seeing that Su Hanyan had fallen silent and was looking to the side as if she was thinking about something, Lu Chen continued, "Yunwan and Qingrou should have told you that I rarely restrict the activities of my wives and concubines. They can go wherever they want."

"The same applies to you."

Su Hanyan then tentatively asked, "What if I asked you to send me back to the Bixia World?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Not now. Once I reach the Nascent Soul Realm or the Void Return Realm, I will take you back to the Azure Cloud World."

Hearing this, Su Hanyan just chuckled. She clearly didn't believe Lu Chen's words, but at this point she didn't care anymore.

Since this man has already seen through her little schemes, she might as well stay by his side and become stronger. She'll run away when she has the chance later.

Running away now would be a huge loss for her. Not only had she lost her virginity, but she also failed to rescue her two close disciples. Running away at this point would be a huge loss.

Even if she wanted to escape, she would have to wait until she had obtained enough benefits from Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Su Hanyan said, "I hope His Majesty keeps his word this time."

Su Hanyan didn't have any expectations for what Lu Chen said. She just thought he was lying to her again. But she didn't care anymore. Anyway, she would find a way to leave him in the future.

Su Hanyan looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Now that Your Majesty has taken my body and played with it for more than half a month, shouldn't you let me go back?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, then slowly stood up. "Since you want to go back, I won't stop you."

As Lu Chen stood up, Su Hanyan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. She quickly calmed herself down, reminding herself that she couldn't allow herself to feel this way.

If she felt empty, wouldn't that mean she had gotten used to that person's body? She didn't want that kind of habit.

Seeing Su Hanyan biting her lip, looking like she was enduring something, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you're not feeling well?"

Su Hanyan quickly said, "I'm fine."

She didn't want Lu Chen to see her predicament. If Lu Chen knew how she was feeling, wouldn't he think she had fallen in love with this kind of thing?

Su Hanyan then looked at Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty still has state affairs to attend to, so please don't waste your time here."

Su Hanyan hoped this man would disappear quickly, otherwise her body would always want to get closer to him.

Seeing that Su Hanyan seemed to want to leave on her own, Lu Chen didn't get up. He grabbed Su Hanyan's hand and pulled her into his arms.

Su Hanyan was taken aback, thinking Lu Chen was going to continue. She said somewhat flusteredly, "What is Your Majesty doing...?"

Although she had already become Lu Chen's woman, she didn't want this to continue. She was afraid that the longer this went on, the more bad habits her body would develop.

As time went on, the emptiness she felt would intensify whenever Lu Chen and she were separated.

Lu Chen said, "We've been active for half a month, and we're covered in filth. Shouldn't we wash ourselves off?"

At this point, Lu Chen asked the maidservant at the door, "Is the hot water ready?"

A maid's voice came from the doorway immediately afterward, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

The palace in the Black Dragon Kingdom was not as convenient as the palace in the Great Xia Dynasty. However, since Lu Chen moved into the palace, the maids prepared a lot of hot water every day. They knew Lu Chen's habits very well, as he needed to take a bath after all his activities.

Upon hearing the maid's reply, Lu Chen immediately picked up Su Hanyan in a princess carry. Afraid of falling off, Su Hanyan instinctively wrapped her lotus-root-like arms around Lu Chen's neck.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen carried Su Hanyan to the bathhouse next door. Fortunately, this room had a bathhouse, although it wasn't as big or luxurious as the bathhouse in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, but it was still fine for a soak.

After the two entered the bath, Lu Chen embraced Su Hanyan and roamed his hands over her body. Su Hanyan was somewhat helpless and could only lean against Lu Chen's chest, letting him do as he pleased.

The two lingered in the bath for an unknown amount of time before Lu Chen carried Su Hanyan back to the dragon bed. After placing Su Hanyan's body on the bed, Lu Chen left Changning Palace.

As soon as he stepped out of Changning Palace, Wu Yunwan and Li Qingrou learned of the matter and immediately came to Changning Palace.

At this moment, Su Hanyan had already dressed with the help of her maids and was about to leave when she saw her two personal disciples enter the room.

Su Hanyan said to the maids beside her, "Alright, you may all leave!"

"Yes, Consort Su."

As soon as the maids left, Su Hanyan's body went limp uncontrollably. Seeing that Su Hanyan could not stand steadily, Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou quickly came over and supported Su Hanyan's body on either side.

"Master, are you alright?" Wu Junwan asked with concern.

Actually, the two women weren't surprised by Su Hanyan's reaction, even though Lu Chen would constantly infuse them with spiritual energy while doing those things to prevent them from feeling uncomfortable.

However, after experiencing too much happiness, their bodies don't recover quickly when they suddenly return to normal. This is the case with Su Hanyan; her body hasn't recovered yet.

Su Hanyan raised her delicate hand and rubbed her forehead, whispering, "I'm... fine..."

Although she said that, Su Hanyan was already cursing Lu Chen in her heart.

This bastard, is he even human?!

Wu Junwan said, "Master, why don't you lie down and rest a little longer?"

Su Hanyan said, "No need. I haven't been back for half a month, and I don't know what the situation is like in the Misty Immortal Sect."

Although Su Hanyan had already spread the word that she was in seclusion in the palace, she had returned half a month ago, and no one knew whether the message she had sent out had deterred those small groups who wanted to leave the Misty Immortal Sect.

Seeing that Su Hanyan was so concerned about the Misty Immortal Sect, Li Qingrou immediately said, "During your time in the palace, the Misty Immortal Sect sent disciples to report to me and Yunwan every day on the situation of the Misty Immortal Sect. Everything is fine with the Misty Immortal Sect now."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Su Hanyan felt a little relieved, but she still planned to return to the Mixian Sect as soon as possible.

She was already somewhat afraid of Lu Chen. She was afraid that if she stayed in the palace for even one more day, Lu Chen would keep her on the bed for another half a month and not let her leave.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of being in a daze anymore, so she'd better run away quickly.

Just as Su Hanyan was about to leave, she suddenly had another brain fart, and her body still had no strength at all.

Seeing this, Li Qingrou said directly, "Master, you and Lu Chen have been together for more than half a month. Now that you are suddenly separated, it is natural that you cannot adapt for a while. It would be better for you to rest more now."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Su Hanyan felt her face burning. That guy was originally the man of her two personal disciples, but he also took advantage of her, his master.

Before Su Hanyan could say anything, the two women helped her back to the dragon bed. This time, Su Hanyan did not insist any further and sat down directly.

The two women then helped Su Hanyan lie down on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Lying in bed again, Su Hanyan began to recall the events of the past two weeks. Just thinking about those things made her feel incredibly humiliated.

She felt that she had completely become Lu Chen's plaything.

Su Hanyan sighed softly, then said, "Now I finally understand why you can't live without that man."

Wu Yunwan immediately asked, "Master, could it be that you also...?"

Before Wu Junwan could finish speaking, Su Hanyan interrupted her, saying, "That's precisely why it proves how terrifying this man is."

This……

Su Hanyan glanced at Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou. She knew that her two personal disciples might never be able to get rid of Lu Chen again, so she didn't intend to say anything more.

After experiencing that feeling, you'll know just how terrifying Lu Chen's methods are, and what kind of woman could withstand such methods.

Not only is he handsome, but he also possesses such powerful abilities. The key is that he can help women quickly improve their cultivation through dual cultivation methods.

If a female cultivator in the cultivation world were to encounter a man like this, she would probably fall in love with him.

But it was precisely because of this that Su Hanyan became determined to get rid of Lu Chen.

If they stay by Lu Chen's side, even if they don't become Lu Chen's furnace or shield him from calamity, they will still be Lu Chen's plaything.

She suspected that if Lu Chen toyed with her like that, she would eventually fall completely, her mind would be ruined, her Dao heart would be shattered, and she would utterly degenerate into a slave to desire.

She didn't want to become that kind of plaything.

Seeing that Su Hanyan was in a low mood, Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou stopped talking. They had already experienced it before, so they knew very well what Su Hanyan was thinking. After Su Hanyan had sex with Lu Chen a few more times, she would naturally get used to it.

It's only the beginning, so it's normal to have some resistance.
