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

After glancing at Mu Qinglan, Lu Chen asked, "I asked the Fire Emperor to send more spirit stones. How many spirit stones did he give you?"

Upon hearing this question, Mu Qinglan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "This servant rushed here immediately after hearing that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor was in the Chaos Star Sea. The spirit stones His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor requested should still be coming up."

At this point, Mu Qinglan suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a spatial ring, saying, "I wonder how many spirit stones Your Majesty needs? This servant has quite a few spirit stones here for Your Majesty to use first."

Lu Chen said, "From now on, you don't need to refer to yourself as a servant in front of me. You are, after all, a saint."

It always felt strange to Lu Chen that someone stronger than him would refer to himself as a servant in a proper setting.

Of course, if Mu Qinglan called him "master" on the couch, he wouldn't find it strange. In fact, he would be even more excited because Mu Qinglan was stronger than him.

Mu Qinglan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "This servant is His Majesty's maid, this servant..."

Before Mu Qinglan could finish speaking, Lu Chen interrupted her, saying, "Very well, I hereby order you not to refer to yourself as a servant from now on."

"As my maid, you should know to obey my orders."

"I...I understand." In the end, Mu Qinglan stopped referring to herself as "slave".

After hearing Mu Qinglan's answer, Lu Chen took the spatial ring from Mu Qinglan's hand with satisfaction, and then checked the spirit stones inside the spatial ring.

Mu Qinglan truly lived up to her reputation as a saint. The cultivation resources inside her spatial ring made Lu Chen's eyes light up. Without any hesitation, he took Mu Qinglan's spatial ring and flew towards the Thousand Blade World.

After seeing Lu Chen leave, Mu Qinglan quickly followed him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen arrived at the place he had chosen in the Thousand Blades World a few days ago that was suitable for building a teleportation array.

Only then did Mu Qinglan notice that there was a woman wearing black and gold armor next to Lu Chen. Upon seeing this woman, Mu Qinglan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure arose in her heart.

However, she didn't say much. She could clearly sense Lu Chen's aura from this woman, and she could vaguely see a causal connection between this woman and the Heavenly Emperor.

Mu Qinglan was somewhat puzzled. In his previous life, the Heavenly Emperor only knew how to cultivate and had no interest in women. How come he now had a woman by his side?

The key point is that this woman still carries his scent, and this scent is very strong. Mu Qinglan definitely doesn't believe that nothing had happened between them.

The thought of the Heavenly Emperor and this woman having shared a sexual relationship made Mu Qinglan feel even more distressed, and she quickly stopped herself from letting her mind wander.

It's perfectly normal for a great figure like the Heavenly Emperor to have maids serving him; she couldn't let that lead her to overthink things.

Let alone a woman, it wouldn't be surprising if the Heavenly Emperor had three thousand concubines. After comforting herself, Mu Qinglan felt much better.

Just then, two streaks of light appeared in the distance. Mu Qinglan raised an eyebrow and quickly stepped in front of Lu Chen, asking warily, "Who goes there!"

As soon as they finished speaking, two more graceful figures appeared before them.

When Nangong Yuehua saw the woman blocking Lu Chen's way, she was slightly stunned. Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from the woman, Nangong Yuehua was extremely horrified.

Clearly, this woman was a genuine saint, and her aura was far more powerful than Lu Chen's.

There's actually a saint by Lu Chen's side?

Nangong Qingya immediately recognized the relationship between Mu Qinglan and Lu Chen. Although she did not know the woman in front of her and did not understand her, she knew Lu Chen.

Nangong Qingya said to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, who is this senior? I've never seen him before."

Upon hearing Nangong Qingya's words, Mu Qinglan realized that these two women were actually the Heavenly Emperor's maids.

The Heavenly Emperor already has three maids by his side?

Moreover, they all possessed the aura of the Heavenly Emperor, and their karmic connections with him were extremely strong, which made Mu Qinglan feel a deep sense of crisis.

With so many maids around the Heavenly Emperor, her future status in his eyes will probably be...

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Mu Qinglan quickly stopped herself from letting her mind wander. She only needed to do her job well; the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor were not for her, a maid, to speculate about.

Lu Chen smiled and said to Nangong Qingya and Nangong Yuehua, "Let me introduce you. She is my protector, Mu Qinglan."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Qinglan was completely stunned.

The Heavenly Emperor actually said that she was his protector.

For a moment, Mu Qinglan was perhaps overwhelmed with joy. Although her face was expressionless, her mind was completely blank.

However, Mu Qinglan quickly realized that Lu Chen had made his own name.

Lu Chen did not refer to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I") or "本帝" (Ben Di, meaning "This Emperor"), but rather as "我" (Wo, meaning "I").

Given the Heavenly Emperor's status, the only time he would refer to himself as "I" would be in front of his closest confidants.

These women...

really……

Just as Mu Qinglan was lost in thought, Lu Chen said to her again, "Lan'er, they are all my Daoist partners."

Hearing Lu Chen call her Lan'er, Mu Qinglan's mind went blank again.

However, she quickly came to her senses, and her depressed mood vanished. Suddenly, an idea came to her.

Since the Heavenly Emperor of this life has already found so many Daoist partners, it seems that it is not impossible to have one more Daoist partner.

Thinking about it that way, she actually has a much better chance.

If it were the Heavenly Emperor from her previous life, who only knew how to cultivate and had no interest in women, then she would have no hope at all.

After Lu Chen finished his introduction, Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya had basically confirmed their suspicions. It was clear that Mu Qinglan was also Lu Chen's woman.

The two women then said to Mu Qinglan in unison, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Greetings, Sister Mu!"

The two women did not use the same way of addressing each other. Even though she had guessed that Mu Qinglan might be Lu Chen's woman, Nangong Yuehua still addressed her as "senior".

After all, Mu Qinglan is suspected to be a saint.

Nangong Qingya didn't care about any of that. Even if Mu Qinglan was a saint, they were no different in front of Lu Chen. In fact, they might even have to serve Lu Chen together one day.

Mu Qinglan glanced at the two women, but did not correct either of their forms of address. She simply said indifferently, "You two don't need to be so polite."

Seeing Mu Qinglan's indifferent expression, Nangong Qingya and Nangong Yuehua had a strange thought. For some reason, they both disliked a woman maintaining a dignified and aloof demeanor in front of Lu Chen.

Perhaps it's because Lu Chen ruined their originally aloof demeanor.

At this moment, both women thought that one day they would see this woman become like them in front of Lu Chen.

After regaining her composure, Nangong Yuehua took the initiative to ask, "What brings Your Majesty to the Thousand Blades World this time?"

Lu Chen had visited a few days ago. He didn't criticize the two sisters then; he simply chose this plot of land and left. (End of Chapter)
