On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Regarding Hu Mei's eyeshadow.

Lu Chuan was very surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you recognize it?"

Hu Mei continued to stare intently at Wukong, her eyes constantly shifting, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

"I...I don't know him."

"But it's a monkey, which reminds me of a legend circulating among the demon race."

legend?

Legends of the demon race?

Lu Chuan immediately became interested.

"What legend?"

"hiss."

Hu Mei took a deep breath.

After much difficulty, she finally calmed herself down and slowly began to speak.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the Demon Court of the Demon Race was extremely glorious and ruled over all races."

"But then, a clever monkey appeared."

"It was born of nature, without parents, and sprang from a stone."

"That clever monkey wreaked havoc in the demon court, causing rivers of blood to flow and countless demon gods to perish. Even the demon emperor at the time couldn't do anything about it."

"Although the monkey was eventually suppressed by the Demon Court, the Demon Court was also severely weakened and eventually declined."

At this point, Hu Mei glanced at Wukong in Lu Chuan's arms and swallowed.

"However, within the demon race, there has always been a prophecy: 'If the spirit monkey does not die, the demon court will not be able to stand.'"

"If the demon race ever wants to rebuild the demon court, that monkey will be reborn and wreak havoc on the demon court once again."

"so……"

"The eight demon saints gave a death order: it is better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let any suspicious monkey go free."

Lu Chuan was slightly shocked after hearing this.

Good guy.

The system was right after all.

This monkey is really a big problem.

No wonder the system insisted that he was the Monkey King.

So, in the demon race's script, it's the ultimate villain.

I feel like I've raised a tyrant.

He was also an ancestor who exuded an aura of hatred.

Unable to resist, Lu Chuan looked down at Wukong in his arms.

The little guy was staring at him with innocent big eyes, all traces of its previous ferocity gone, as if it hadn't been the menacing creature it had been moments before.

"Alright, stop glaring."

Lu Chuan patted Wukong's butt.

"From now on, this fox is part of our family. Don't you dare bully her, understand?"

Wukong pouted, looking aggrieved.

But it still made a "squeak" sound, which can be considered as an agreement.

Lu Chuan threw Wukong back onto the bed and then looked at Hu Mei.

"Since you're here, why not stay?"

"It just so happens that we need someone to do the housework."

Hu Mei dared not say no and quickly nodded.

"Yes, Master."

Lu Chuan waved.

"Alright, go back to your room and go to sleep. Don't get in the way."

Hu Mei felt as if she had been granted a pardon.

He quickly followed Wukong into the guest room.

Lu Chuan lay back down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

With the Demon Emperor by his side, the Demon Court needs to be rebuilt, and his own monkey is still the public enemy of the demon race.

This day.

It seems there's no way things will stay peaceful.

However, just as he was about to lie down and rest, the system's voice suddenly blared in his mind.

【Ding! ! ! 】

[The host is truly valiant, having successfully suppressed a six-tailed fox demon king and taken her as a slave.]

[Host's actions are truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.]

[Even I, the system, feel immense respect for it...]

[An epic critical hit reward has been triggered!]

Listen to what the system says.

Lu Chuan's lips twitched.

When will this system's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) be cured?

However, the system's reward was issued shortly afterward.

[Reward 1: Passive Status - Heavenly Mystery]

[Effect: The secrets of heaven concerning the host become blurred and unobservable. Any means of divulging these secrets will be ineffective, like trying to see flowers through fog or the moon's reflection in water.]

[Reward Two: Ten Years of True Essence Infusion]

[Effect: Directly increases the host's cultivation level by ten years]

The words fell.

Lu Chuan hadn't had time to figure out what this "heavenly secrets are obscured" was all about.

A surge of immense energy erupted from his dantian.

It was poured into the body frantically.

boom!

In an instant, the true essence within Lu Chuan's dantian surged wildly like boiling magma.

Within the meridians, the vital energy surges like a river.

This feeling is already very familiar.

Lu Chuan had already experienced this countless times.

So he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his energy using his internal energy cultivation technique.

Ten years of cultivation.

That doesn't sound like much.

But for a Martial King level expert, this is already an incredible opportunity.

It should be understood that after becoming a King of Martial Arts, each advancement to the next star requires not only the accumulation of time, but also a deeper understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

Some people are stuck at the second-star Martial King level for decades without making any progress.

Take, for example, Su Nantian, who is already dead.

He has been stuck at the second-star Martial King level for over a decade, unable to make any progress.

Time passed second by second.

Lu Chuan's aura began to rise.

Peak of the Two-Star Martial King.

Bottlenecks are loosening.

Click.

A soft sound exploded in his mind.

Samsung Martial King!

Breakthrough.

Lu Chuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The turbid air transformed into white ribbons, which swirled in the air for a moment before dissipating.

He couldn't help but clench his fist, feeling that the true energy within his body was several times stronger than before.

However, Lu Chuan still sighed.

"It seems that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the energy required."

But then again.

What is this "heavy secrets of heaven"?

Lu Chuan closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into his entire body to carefully sense it.

At first, I didn't have any particular feeling.

But gradually...

He sensed something was amiss.

It was a very mysterious feeling.

It's as if... there's a thin veil separating me from the world.

It's not about breaking away.

Instead, it becomes blurred.

To others, seeing him is like looking at a mountain through fog; they can see the outline, but not the details.

"interesting."

Lu Chuan's lips curled up.

This passive state is practically a divine skill for him.

In the future, even if someone tries to cause him trouble through divination or prediction, they will be completely baffled.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the bed.

Lu Chuan was still asleep when he was woken up by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Senior brother! Senior brother, wake up!"

"The sun's already high in the sky!"

Lu Chuan was extremely agitated.

Really...

That's insane.

I glanced at my phone; it was only 7:30 in the morning.

It's the weekend, why isn't this girl sleeping in at home? What's she doing here causing trouble?

After scratching my messy hair.

Lu Chuan still went to open the door wearing slippers.

"Coming, coming! Stop knocking, you're going to break the door!"

At the doorway, Su Ling'er stood with a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks in her hand, her face beaming with smiles.

"Good morning, senior!"

"I noticed you didn't eat well yesterday, so I went to buy some food from that place with the really long line..."

only……

next moment.

Su Ling'er's voice abruptly stopped.

His eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he almost dropped the soy milk in his hand.

Because it was right behind Lu Chuan.

A woman, rubbing her sleepy eyes, came out of the guest room.

This woman has an incredibly hot figure, with messy, wavy hair that exudes a慵懒 (yōnglǎn, meaning lazy or languid) charm.

The key is.

She was wearing a black lace lingerie nightgown!
