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

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Xianxian's heart shook violently, and she looked coldly into his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"

They hadn't left yet, and Lu Chen was already using what could happen after they left to make his point, a matter that probably nobody would know about if Lu Chen himself didn't speak of it.

But by speaking so directly, it was clear that Lu Chen was using it to threaten her.

Lu Chen immediately responded, "The disciple wouldn't dare!"

Yun Xianxian asked in a cold voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Chen said, "The disciple doesn't want to do anything, the disciple merely feels that the master should not suppress her own emotions."

Yun Xianxian spoke indifferently, "You think I don't know what you're trying to do?" Discover more stories at empire

"I've been by your side for so long, I already know what kind of person you are, you're just coveting my body."

Lu Chen said, "The disciple admits that he indeed covets the master's body, but this is also for the master's own good."

"Although the disciple and the master have always been cultivating the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill, with their current method of meditation, they can't fully harness its potential."

"If the master and the disciple were to use the correct cultivation method of the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill, perhaps the master's strength would have already been restored."

Yun Xianxian said coldly, "There's no need to say more, I will absolutely not agree to this!"

As her words fell, Yun Xianxian disappeared on the spot, returning to her own room.

Seeing Yun Xianxian run off like that, Lu Chen didn't feel discouraged; on the contrary, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Yun Xianxian's favorability towards him had long reached ninety-eight, and he thought it was time to give her a push. If they continued their current method of cultivation, their relationship would hardly progress further; it was more straightforward to lay it all out.

Lu Chen believed that Yun Xianxian knew he lusted after her body, and since she was aware, there was no need for him to continue the charade.

Of course, establishing a relationship with Yun Xianxian might not be something that could be achieved quickly, especially since she was a fairy from the Immortal world.

In the beginning, it took him quite some time to break down Chu Yuqin's defenses, so Lu Chen was not in a particular hurry, he would just take his time.

At the same time.

After returning to her room, Yun Xianxian felt indignant recalling what Lu Chen had said to her. A chill spread continuously throughout the room, turning it into an ice cave.

Although she had long known of the scoundrel's designs on her body and had even utilized his desires to cultivate the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill with him, she had never expected him to be so bold as to voice it out loud.

But upon reflection, what Lu Chen said about the cultivation conditions of the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill didn't seem to be nonsense.

As a cultivator familiar with the functioning of cultivation techniques, it was precisely because she was familiar with the workings of the technique that she would have Lu Chen gaze into her eyes during their cultivation sessions and actively provoke his deepest desires.

Previously, it was always she who provoked the desires deep within Lu Chen, but she had never considered that she might harbor such feelings for him as well.

It now occurred to her that if she didn't hold some favor for Lu Chen, they would not have been able to cultivate the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill together.

At this thought, Yun Xianxian's brows furrowed. She, who had lived for a thousand years, seemed to have developed feelings for a lascivious rogue.

In the past, in the Immortal world, she hated those cultivators who were always thinking about women, particularly the young masters from large families who did not engage in proper pursuits, just seeking out beautiful fairies for mere flings.

Yun Xianxian hurriedly circulated her spiritual power to pacify the turmoil in her heart.

She thought that perhaps it was because she had been in this world for too long and had not seen anyone from her own world for ages, which made her regard Lu Chen, who came from another world, as a companion, thus developing a fondness for him.

At this idea, Yun Xianxian snorted coldly to herself, muttering, "The traitorous disciple covets his master's body, but it remains to be seen if he has the skill to obtain it!"

Yun Xianxian decided she would be wary of Lu Chen from here on out, to prevent him from seizing the opportunity to really ruin her.

As for the thought of killing Lu Chen to put an end to future troubles, it was out of the question for her. Lu Chen was very important to her, both for practical benefits and emotional attachment, so all she could do was to guard against him to prevent his success.

Yun Xianxian firmly resolved that once she had the ability to leave this world, she would keep her distance from that ill-fated disciple. The Immortal world was vast, and once she returned to her original world, it would be exceedingly difficult for them to meet again in their lifetime.

With that in mind, the fairy, who was always cold and never bowed to difficulties before her, sighed softly that day.

"What a cursed fate!"

…

The next morning.

When Lu Chen awoke, Yun Xianxian was already in the courtyard, and although last night's events had occurred, she had to come out because they were attacking the Capital city today.

The moment Lu Chen stepped out of his room, Yun Xianxian's body emitted waves of cold air, and Lu Chen felt it rushing towards him.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen did not pay much attention. He said with a smile, "Master, you've risen early."

Yun Xianxian did not respond to Lu Chen's words, but indifferently said, "After you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself Emperor, Rongrong and I will return to Mysterious Moon Palace."

Lu Chen was startled for a moment but said nothing more. Let them return if they must; after all, Yun Xianxian could not escape his grasp, and one day, he would make this fairy his woman.

"I understand," he said.

Yun Xianxian then walked towards the outside of the courtyard, saying as she walked, "Hurry up and get your Celestial subordinates ready. Once Sum Emperor and his forces use that Divine Weapon, snatch it immediately."

Lu Chen did not hesitate and directly followed Yun Xianxian to the military camp.

Soon after, Lu Chen led an army of 150,000 straight towards the capital city.

It took less than a morning for Lu Chen to arrive at the capital city. During this period, they encountered no resistance whatsoever—it was unbelievably smooth.

Lu Chen saw through Sum Emperor's thoughts. Sum Emperor certainly planned to deal with Mysterious Moon Palace's Celestial first and then let the Imperial Army counterattack. Once the North Country no longer had its Celestial, and Sum Emperor had a Pseudo-Celestial on his side, the Pseudo-Celestial would be able to crush the soldiers from North Country.

If the Imperial Army were to stop the soldiers from North Country now, it would bring no benefit to them. They had already witnessed the combat strength of the soldiers from North Country. Sending troops to block Lu Chen's advance to the south would merely send the Imperial soldiers to their deaths.

The Imperial Army still near the capital consisted of the elite of the elite, and Sum Emperor would certainly not send them off to die.

Both sides were very clear that the key to this battle was to take out the most powerful figures of the opposing side. Once both sides' Pseudo-Celestials and Celestials were gone, there would essentially be nothing left to fight for in this war.

Inside the capital city, there was panic everywhere. Those who could run had already fled to the south; most of the remaining people had no way to escape.

After arriving outside the capital city, Lu Chen immediately ordered the soldiers to start drafting a proclamation of punitive expedition. Lu Chen did not say who he wanted to punish; he only said there were traitorous officials beside Sum Emperor.

At this time, the court officials had already gathered in Xuanzheng Hall, waiting anxiously.

North Prince was already at the gates, yet Sum Emperor had not sent out his troops. Thinking of the combat prowess of the North Country's army, the officials turned pale with fear.

Some even prepared to surrender directly to North Prince, and this mindset was not uncommon; in fact, it was the majority.

In their eyes, they were all part of the Lu family; it did not matter who became Emperor. A son and father competing for the throne had nothing to do with them as subjects. They just needed to wait and see who would emerge victorious.

As the ministers inside the hall were restlessly anxious, suddenly, a figure in golden armor caught their attention.

The man, dressed in a yellow robe, slowly walked into the hall. Upon seeing that it was Sum Emperor, the officials immediately quieted down and in unison exclaimed, "Long live the Emperor! Long may he reign!"

After paying their respects, one official immediately said, "Your Majesty, the rebels are at the gates. The capital is in imminent peril. This official urgently requests that you dispatch troops immediately!"

Sum Emperor indifferently said, "Did you not see the armor I am wearing?"

This...

The officials seemingly understood Sum Emperor's intention, and one quickly said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield is dangerous, you must not..."

But before the official could finish, Sum Emperor interrupted him, "I heard that the traitorous son just recited a proclamation outside the city, saying he wants to punish a treacherous official. Let all the dear officials follow me to the city wall and see which treacherous official he intends to punish!"

Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the officials' backs.

If North Prince were defeated, the treacherous official North Prince wanted to punish could become the most trusted by Sum Emperor. But if North Prince succeeded, the first problem he'd solve after entering the city would likely be these so-called treacherous officials.

With North Prince's momentum, no one wanted to become the treacherous official in his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Gaoyuan stood up and volunteered, "This official is willing to accompany Your Majesty to the city wall! Together we will withstand the rebel assault!"

Hearing these words, Sum Emperor laughed heartily, "Lin, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

Seeing Lin Gaoyuan speak up, other officials also voiced their stance, "We are willing to stay with Your Majesty to defend the capital city! We swear we will not retreat unto death!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Good! Very good!"

"Then let us now go and see what that traitorous son really intends to do," said Sum Emperor.

With that, Sum Emperor turned and left Xuanzheng Hall, heading straight down the main road towards the city wall.

Sum Emperor's stride was strong, his eyes were firm, full of energy, and his heart was boiling with passion.

He had not felt this way in a long time.

Sum Emperor whispered to himself,

After today, Great Sum shall have no more Seigniors!
