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

Lu Chen had originally thought that since Yun Xianxian had been proactive for several months, he could just hug her, say some sweet words, and let her go. But she actually said that he was her furnace.

He couldn't stand this any longer. Over the next period of time, Lu Chen made Yun Xianxian aware of who was whose furnace.

In the end, Yun Xianxian was defeated and submitted to the tyrant Lu Chen, begging for mercy and willingly admitting that she was his furnace.

This also made Lu Chen realize that some tricks, if you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do them in the first place.

Moreover, his wives and concubines were smarter than he thought. Perhaps only Zhou Youyou and Xiao Wenyao were a little foolish and didn't know about this. The other wives and concubines probably discovered the secret of the Dragon and Phoenix Tree long ago, but kept it hidden in their hearts and pretended not to know anything.

Lu Chen decided to find some time to return to the Yancheng Imperial Palace and try to get information out of his wives and concubines to see if they really knew everything.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

Purple Sun World, Black Moon City.

Black Moon City has become much more prosperous, and more independent cultivators are willing to come to Black Moon City to do business.

Lu Chen's deeds have spread, and people know that there is a being in Black Moon City who can suppress demonic energy and easily kill demon envoys at the Myriad Laws Realm. Although Black Moon City is located next to the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land, most rogue cultivators believe that Black Moon City is safer until the Heavenly Demon breaks the seal.

Now that even a demonic envoy at the Myriad Laws Realm has appeared, countless demonic cultivators within the Great Chu Dynasty, or even throughout the entire Ziyang World, are stirring up trouble. No one can say for sure whether there is only one demonic cultivator at the Myriad Laws Realm.

What if there are other demonic cultivators at the Myriad Laws Realm?

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion.

Today, the City Lord's Mansion is a magnificent and beautiful place, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The entire mansion has been renovated during this period, covering a larger area and becoming even more grand.

The City Lord's Mansion is no longer just the City Lord's Mansion, but also the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Lu Chen's status and position have surpassed Ji Qiuyu's, and Lu Chen is now in charge of the entire Black Moon City.

Of course, Lu Chen doesn't like management. Currently, Ji Qiuyu is still managing his fiefdom, and his puppets spend most of their time lying in the room. He only occasionally controls the puppets to go out and inspect the area.

His main body was dealing with Yun Xianxian. After finishing with Yun Xianxian, he planned to return to Yancheng to talk to his woman. He was quite busy.

Lu Chen sometimes reflected that if he didn't have the cheat system, he probably would have really become a tyrant.

He was obsessed with women every day, yet he was still able to manage the Tianchen World in an orderly manner. This is the benefit of absolute power.

Puppet Lu Chen stood in the pavilion, watching the fish swim to and fro in the pond. At this moment, Ji Qiuyu's voice appeared behind Lu Chen, "Your Majesty is quite leisurely, staying in the mansion every day, either sleeping or watching the fish."

Ji Qiuyu's tone was somewhat resentful. Ever since Lu Chen became the Prince of Zhenbei, all of Lu Chen's fiefdoms had been handed over to her to manage alone.

Although she had many years of experience managing Black Moon City, Lu Chen's fiefdom was much larger than Black Moon City. Suddenly having so much land meant her workload increased tenfold, making her extremely busy every day.

Lu Chen, the Prince of Zhenbei, is different. Nowadays, he almost never leaves the city lord's mansion except when he goes out to inspect.

It was as if he wasn't the Prince of Zhenbei, but Ji Qiuyu was.

Lu Chen turned to look at Ji Qiuyu, who was wearing a pink dress, and said with a smile, "My true form has been..."

Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Ji Qiuyu interrupted, "The King's true form is about to break through again, right?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "How did you know?"

Ji Qiuyu pursed her lips. "You've said that countless times."

Ji Qiuyu even suspected that Lu Chen's true form was constantly breaking through. Although Lu Chen's identity was likely very noble, after all, he could not be an ordinary person if he could produce a Saint-level cultivation technique, but breaking through every few days was too exaggerated.

Lu Chen said, "Qiu Yu, we are husband and wife, your business is my business, and my business is your business. I'll leave the affairs of the Prince of Zhenbei to you."

Hearing Lu Chen say that husband and wife are one, Ji Qiuyu's cheeks flushed slightly. Although she knew that Lu Chen only said this because he didn't want to get involved, her heart still fluttered because of his words.

Ji Qiuyu was too lazy to dwell on the matter any longer. She then asked, "What do you plan to do with the maids sent by the Zixiao Dynasty?"

The Zixiao Dynasty recently claimed that Lu Chen had made a great contribution to the Ziyang World, so they rewarded him with a lot of cultivation resources and even sent him several beautiful maids.

Ji Qiuyu had always harbored hostility towards those maids, who were all exceptionally beautiful. Ji Qiuyu strongly suspected that the Zixiao Dynasty intended to use their beauty to win over Lu Chen.

Although Ji Qiuyu knew that Lu Chen must have many women given his status, she couldn't help but feel jealous every time she saw those maids flitting around in front of Lu Chen.

As soon as Ji Qiuyu finished speaking, Lu Chen suddenly appeared beside her, embraced her delicate body, and asked in her ear, "My lady, what do you want me to do with those maids?"

Upon hearing the title "wife," Ji Qiuyu blushed again, but the thought that the person embracing her was merely a puppet quickly calmed her restless heart.

"Since it was given to you by His Majesty, then it is naturally up to you to make the decision."

Lu Chen said, "If Qiu Yu doesn't like them, I'll just send them back to the Zixiao Dynasty."

Ji Qiuyu said, "I never said anything like that."

Lu Chen continued, "Those maids were sent by your Emperor to monitor me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiuyu was taken aback, then asked, "Surveillance? Why?"

Lu Chen said, "A being capable of slaying a demon envoy at the Myriad Laws Realm has suddenly appeared in this world. Don't you want to know who he is and what powerful force is behind him?"

Ji Qiuyu realized that this was true; she had known for a long time that many forces were keeping an eye on Lu Chen.

Lu Chen had read the introductions of the maids' identities. The maids had only one task: to report all his movements and everything he did to Nangong Yuehua every day.

This level of surveillance made Lu Chen feel uneasy.

My background is indeed quite mysterious, but there's no need to report every little thing I do every day.

Lu Chen suspected that Nangong Yuehua might have discovered something, which was why she was so wary of him.

Ji Qiuyu continued, "Since they're here to spy on you, it's better to send them away to prevent them from discovering your secret."

Lu Chen said calmly, "No need, let them keep an eye on me. I won't do anything anyway."

"Sending them back now will only make Nangong Yuehua think that I have some kind of secret that I sent them back because I don't want them to spy on me."

Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Lu Chen stroked Ji Qiuyu's gauze dress and whispered in her ear, "Qiuyu, I feel that my true form will be coming to Black Moon City in a few months. Are you ready?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Qiuyu's spiritual energy became disordered again, and her body became restless once more.

She understood perfectly well what Lu Chen meant when he asked her if she was ready.

Ji Qiuyu said softly, "You...you can come."

Seeing Ji Qiuyu's blushing face, Lu Chen's true form became even more excited, and at this moment, Yelü Nanyan below Lu Chen's true form suffered the consequences.

The former Queen Consort of the Sirius King has now submitted to Lu Chen.

Tianchen World, Yancheng Imperial Palace.

The beautiful Yelü Nanyan looked at Lu Chen with a face full of resentment and grievance. She couldn't understand why Lu Chen had only invited her today. In the past, when Lu Chen came back, he would always invite a few people, or he would also invite Xiao Wenyao over.

After all, Xiao Wenyao's palace was right next to hers, which was quite convenient. So when Lu Chen suddenly appeared in her room this time, he didn't call any of the other sisters.

Now that Lu Chen is a cultivator at the Myriad Laws Realm, how could he possibly be his match?

Lu Chen stroked Yelü Nanyan's soft body, gazing into her eyes, and said, "Nanyan, have you missed me lately?"

Yelü Nanyan replied, "Of course, I miss Your Majesty every moment."

Lu Chen said, "Oh? Is that so?"

"Then I'll have to do something to ease your longing."

Yelü Nanyan quickly replied, "Your Majesty is extremely busy with state affairs; how could I dare to take up too much of your time?"

Seeing the beautiful woman's flustered expression, Lu Chen didn't bother teasing her anymore. He smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll go to the others later."

Yelü Nanyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Yelü Nanyan then asked, "What brings Your Majesty back to Yancheng this time?"

Lu Chen hasn't returned for a long time. During this time, there have been rumors that Tianchen World has been invaded by enemies from other worlds, and Lu Chen's wives and concubines are very worried about him.

Lu Chen's sudden return, without immediately summoning his wives and concubines, and instead coming to humiliate her, suggests that he probably didn't want too many people to know he was back. Therefore, he must have something to deal with, which is why he wasn't being so high-profile.

Clearly, Yelü Nanyan was overthinking things. Lu Chen simply happened to remember Yelü Nanyan's voluptuous figure, so he started by talking to her and then tried to get some information out of her to see if she knew anything about the Dragon and Phoenix Tree.

Lu Chen turned Yelü Nanyan over so that her back was to him, then gently pressed her down again and whispered in her ear, "It's nothing important, I just came back to see you all."

Yelü Nanyan snorted and asked, "Then why didn't Your Majesty tell the other sisters?"

Lu Chen said, "There's no need to make a big fuss every time I come back. For me, it's just a blink of an eye from Heilongcheng to Yancheng. It's not like I've gone to a very far place."

At this point, Lu Chen asked while continuing his work, "Nan Yan, have you encountered any problems with your cultivation recently?" (End of Chapter)
