Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

The palace, filled with a fragrant aroma, saw three women seated on the ground, among them Yun Xianxian, clad in snow-white garments, had her eyes closed, deeply immersed in meditation.@@novelbin@@

At that moment, the palace suddenly experienced fluctuations in spiritual power, and a figure appeared beside the three women.

Seeing that it was Lu Chen who had returned, Lin Wanyun immediately stood up and said, "This servant greets Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Wanyun, you're being formal with me again."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face flushed with redness.

Lu Chen's gaze then shifted to Yun Xianxian, who was meditating beside them. As always, her celestial aura was evident, her exquisite features and pale skin radiated an icy chill that inevitably made one harbor thoughts of conquest.

At that moment, Yun Xianxian opened her eyes, and upon doing so, she noticed Lu Chen staring intently at her.

Yun Xianxian scoffed internally, disapproving of her disciple's covetous gaze towards her once again.

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Honored Master, have you come down the mountain because of the situation in the Misty World?"

Yun Xianxian replied indifferently, "As your master, I have sensed a spatial rift in the Misty World, and it is likely that the cultivators from there have already arrived in this world."

Lu Chen immediately said, "So, are you suggesting, Honored Master, that you have come to Yan County specifically to protect me as your disciple?"

Yun Xianxian responded coldly, "You are overthinking it. I am merely here to see if any cultivators from the Misty World come directly causing you trouble. If so, I intend to capture a few of them and question them."

Yun Xianxian planned to travel to the Misty World as soon as its prohibitions lifted, so she needed to ascertain the current situation there.

Being the sole emperor of the Tianchen Continent, the supreme ruler, Lu Chen would undoubtedly be the first target should the Misty World's cultivators arrive here.

They would either persuade Lu Chen to align with the forces of the Misty World or eliminate him to install another emperor, a strategy all too familiar to Yun Xianxian from her extensive knowledge of sect machinations.

Thus, she intended to wait patiently and deal with those sect forces as they approached.

Hearing Yun Xianxian's reason, Lu Chen said, "Then you should have arrived earlier. I just dealt with several cultivators from the Misty World at a Taoist temple outside Yan County."

Huh?

Yun Xianxian was momentarily stunned, having not expected the people of the Misty World to contact Lu Chen so swiftly.

Regaining her composure, Yun Xianxian inquired, "Did you gather any information?"

Lu Chen replied, "The invaders from our world belong to a force known as Linghu Sect; their members claim that the Linghu Sect's power ranks third in the Misty World."

Yun Xianxian continued, "Anything else?"

Lu Chen answered, "That's all. Those were merely disciples of the Linghu Sect, nothing of significant intel."

"Oh yes..."

As he spoke, Lu Chen took out two spirit stones, "Honored Master, I confiscated these spirit stones from them, take them and absorb their power!"

Seeing the spirit stones in Lu Chen's hands, Yun Xianxian's heart skipped a beat; having ended up in this world, it had been a long while since she had last seen spirit stones or absorbed sufficient spiritual energy; her condition had constantly been in a state of spiritual power deficiency.

As Yun Xianxian waved her hand, the two Spirit Stones in Lu Chen's hand flew into Yun Xianxian's hand. However, she didn't immediately absorb the Spiritual Power within the stones but stared into Lu Chen's eyes and asked, "Only two Spirit Stones?"

Yun Xianxian didn't believe that the cultivators from the Misty World who came to this world brought only two Spirit Stones. This rebellious disciple must have had more Spirit Stones on him.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just two. There were a few more, but I have already absorbed them, so only two are left."

Yun Xianxian didn't believe Lu Chen's answer, but she didn't press further. It was good enough that this rebellious disciple knew to offer her two Spirit Stones, so she didn't feel the need to demand more.

Yun Xianxian then absorbed the Spiritual Power from the two Spirit Stones in her hand. Though they were merely low-grade Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Power they contained compensated for a good deal of time she would have spent gathering energy.

At that moment, something occurred to Lu Chen, so he continued, "By the way, Honored Master, the disciples of Linghu Sect have taken over Black Dragon City and are planning to support the rise of a new Emperor there."

"Although everyone they sent is below the Heavenly Human Realm, I believe others among them must have brought Spirit Stones too, since the Spiritual Energy in this world is scarce, and they need Spirit Stones to replenish their Spiritual Power."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Xianxian immediately saw through his little scheme and said expressionlessly, "You want me to help you eliminate all those invaders from the Misty World?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it a win-win situation? You could get the Spirit Stones, and this world could also develop in peace for a while."

Yun Xianxian then asked, "Do you really think you can contend with those sects from the Misty World?"

Yun Xianxian was eager to know whether the power behind Lu Chen would actually come to his aid in times of danger.

The cultivation families often sent their exceptional descendants to lower-grade worlds to gain experience, but to ensure their safety, they surely had various safeguards in place.

The moment any of those descendants were harmed or in mortal danger, those cultivation families would certainly intervene.

By now, Yun Xianxian and Liu Qingqiu had concluded that Lu Chen was indeed the scion of some cultivation family.

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's question, Lu Chen unhesitatingly said, "Honored Master, rest assured, the day the prohibition of the Misty World vanishes is the day it becomes territory of the Great Sum Country."

Seeing Lu Chen's confidence, Yun Xianxian remarked, "You seem very confident. It looks like the forces behind you are prepared to take action."

Lu Chen only smiled, offering no explanation. He was aware that Yun Xianxian and the others had misunderstood him, thinking he was a prince of some cultivation family. Let them misunderstand; it didn't affect him much.

Yun Xianxian continued, "All right, in a few days, I will go to Black Dragon City myself and deal with those invaders from the Misty World."

"However, I should make it clear in advance. If anyone stronger than the Heavenly Human Realm appears, I will not intervene."

Lu Chen said, "Honored Master, please rest assured. The prohibition has not yet disappeared, so the Linghu Sect can only send Disciples of the Unity Realm or below to invade our world. I believe Disciples of the Unity Realm should pose no difficulty for you."

Lu Chen had wanted to visit Black Dragon City himself, as he was quite interested in those Spirit Stones. But he remembered his primary task, which was procreation.

Before long, the prohibition of the Misty World would disappear. He needed to prepare more as, although Wu Junwan and his three wives were already pregnant, it was uncertain what reward the system would offer.

So, he had to father more children.

At that moment, Yun Xianxian glanced at Lu Chen. Somehow, he seemed increasingly handsome and ethereal in her eyes—she found herself attracted to a man in such a way for the first time.

Yun Xianxian quickly curbed her thoughts and then said icily, "Come to your master's room tonight. I need to heal my injuries."
