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

Chapter 731 Since you're already here, please stay a while longer.

At this moment, Ji Qiuyu wondered if, if she knocked on the door now and entered Lu Chen's room on her own initiative, would Lu Chen think she was a promiscuous woman?

However, she thought again that since she and Lu Chen had already confirmed their relationship as Daoist partners, shouldn't Daoist partners be together?

Although she had never experienced sexual relations, she was old enough to understand such matters.

Then she remembered that Lu Chen had mentioned that he was practicing some kind of cultivation technique and couldn't touch women recently.

Even if they don't engage in sexual activity, there shouldn't be any problem with them being together, right? As long as they don't do anything sexual, it's fine, isn't it?

For a moment, Ji Qiuyu was extremely conflicted. Just as she was struggling internally, Lu Chen's voice came from inside the room.

"Qiuyu, the door is open, come in."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, and then a blush instantly appeared on her jade-like cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Qiuyu pushed open the door and entered Lu Chen's room.

Seeing Ji Qiuyu's shy expression, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Qiuyu, is there something you need to see me about so late?"

Upon hearing this question, Ji Qiuyu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing Ji Qiuyu standing there in a daze, Lu Chen continued to ask, "Do you perhaps want to ask me about cultivation?"

Ji Qiuyu snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Yes, I had a question about cultivation that I wanted to ask you."

To ease the awkwardness, Ji Qiuyu had no choice but to accept the excuse Lu Chen had given her. She couldn't very well say that she had come to sleep with Lu Chen; that would be too embarrassing.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then come and sit down."

At this point, Lu Chen sat down at the tea table.

Ji Qiuyu then sat down at the tea table. Lu Chen then asked, "What kind of problem are you referring to regarding cultivation?"

Ji Qiuyu quickly added, "I already made the connection when I was at the door, so there's no need to trouble you."

Lu Chen said, "I see."

At this point, Lu Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then looked into Ji Qiuyu's eyes, asking with a smile, "Qiuyu, you didn't come here to sleep with me, did you?"

When Lu Chen directly expressed her inner thoughts, Ji Qiuyu was taken aback, and her face turned even redder. She immediately wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, Ji Qiuyu did not directly deny it, but said, "We are now Daoist partners. It should be a very normal thing for Daoist partners to cultivate together at night and exchange cultivation insights, right?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Of course."

Ji Qiuyu then looked into Lu Chen's eyes and asked, "Then why didn't you come to see me tonight?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Didn't I say this during the day? I've been practicing a special technique recently, and I can't touch women until I've mastered it."

"Qiuyu, you're so beautiful. If we were in the same room at night, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist."

This……

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Ji Qiuyu's cheeks flushed red once more.

"Oh... I see."

"Then... I think I'll go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qiuyu got up and prepared to go back.

However, just as she got up and turned to leave, Lu Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Qiuyu's arm, preventing her from leaving.

"Qiuyu, since you're already here, why not stay a little longer? There's no need to leave in such a hurry."

At this point, Lu Chen pulled Ji Qiuyu into his arms. Through the puppet, Lu Chen could feel the touch of Ji Qiuyu's body.

Of course, the puppet's body couldn't react, but Lu Chen's true body reacted instead. Of course, Lu Chen's true body was currently in the Great Xia Imperial Palace in the Tianchen World, so Ji Qiuyu couldn't sense it.

After being pulled into Lu Chen's arms, Ji Qiuyu felt incredibly flustered. It was the first time she had ever been so close to a man.

However, after calming down a bit, Ji Qiuyu still felt something was off.

Lu Chen's body seemed too calm; she couldn't even feel his heartbeat. However, she assumed it was because he was hiding his presence and didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Lu Chen whispered in Ji Qiuyu's ear, "Qiuyu, you came to me so proactively, do you want to engage in dual cultivation with me?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiuyu's face flushed even more. On the surface, she didn't seem to have such thoughts, but deep down, she might not. She felt that she had probably come to find Lu Chen with some intention of dual cultivation.

Ji Qiuyu quickly said, "No...no, I...I just wanted to exchange cultivation experiences with you."

Seeing Ji Qiuyu so flustered, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. Ji Qiuyu's appearance already revealed her thoughts. There weren't many women in his harem who were so proactive on their first time.

At this moment, Lu Chen's large hand gently brushed across Ji Qiuyu's buttocks, and Ji Qiuyu's delicate body immediately trembled. For a moment, she felt as if her body had become very strange.

No! We can't continue like this!

Ji Qiuyu felt that if she continued to hug and cuddle with Lu Chen like this, she would go mad.

Ji Qiuyu quickly shifted her body and said, "Lu...Lu Chen, I suddenly remembered I have something to do."

Lu Chen continued whispering in Ji Qiuyu's ear, "Qiuyu, you're not thinking of running away, are you?"

Realizing she had been exposed, Ji Qiuyu quickly said, "No...no."

Lu Chen did not continue to make things difficult for Ji Qiuyu. His current body was just a puppet, and if he continued to leave Ji Qiuyu here, he could not do anything to her.

Moreover, under Ji Qiuyu's teasing, his body was already in great pain and needed to find a wife or concubine to help him immediately.

Lu Chen then released Ji Qiuyu, "Alright then, you can go ahead and get busy."

Seeing that Lu Chen had let go of her, Ji Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down she seemed to feel a little disappointed. If Lu Chen continued, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Ji Qiuyu shook her head, quickly suppressing the thoughts deep in her heart. Then she turned to look at Lu Chen's handsome face and said, "Lu... Lu Chen, I'm going back now."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

Ji Qiuyu then turned and left the room.

After Ji Qiuyu left, Lu Chen's attention returned entirely to his own body.

now.

Tianchen World, Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Lu Chen teleported to Zhou Youyou's room.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou was sitting on the edge of the bed, embroidering something, while her older sister Zhou Xiaoxiao was sitting beside her.

Zhou Youyou is no longer the playful and cute little girl she used to be. She has matured a lot and exudes the aura of a married woman, after all, her child is already so grown up.

Lu Chen smiled when he saw that Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were both there.

Just then, the two women suddenly noticed Lu Chen's presence. They quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

As soon as Zhou Youyou finished speaking, Lu Chen pounced on her and pushed her down onto the soft couch. "Youyou, I'll leave the rest to you."

"what?"

Before Zhou Youyou could react, she heard a tearing sound.
