Chapter 593: Chapter 350: This is Your Illusion_3
Could it be... a Celestial?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Changtian's heart was filled with indescribable excitement. If this old man was indeed a Celestial, then Great Wu's two Grandmaster Military Generals would be no threat at all.
The strength of a Celestial was to that of a Grandmaster as heaven is to earth; even ten Grandmasters together might not match up to a Celestial.
However, if North Country had a Celestial, why wouldn't the North Prince let people know? Initially, didn't the North Prince have Zhuge Zhongguang pose as a Celestial simply to intimidate the various dynasties?
If North Country had a Celestial, why would there be a need for Zhuge Zhongguang to impersonate one?
Could it be...
This old man achieved the breakthrough to become a Celestial later on?
Mu Changtian also thought back to when Lu Chen had recently taken the initiative to clarify that Zhuge Zhongguang was not a Celestial.
The North Prince's initiative to clarify that Zhuge Zhongguang was not a Celestial directly led to Great Wu's decision to deploy troops to attack North Country. If North Country had a Celestial, Great Wu would definitely not dare to initiate an attack against them.
Mu Changtian suddenly understood. The North Prince Mansion clarifying that Zhuge Zhongguang was not a Celestial was, on one hand, to lure other dynasties to deploy troops against North Country, and on the other hand, because North Country already had a real Celestial. Therefore, there was no longer a need for Zhuge Zhongguang to continue impersonating one.
Mu Changtian couldn't help but think that this was the case. He originally thought that the North Prince Mansion clarifying Zhuge Zhongguang's status was because the North Prince felt their North Country had grown and thus no longer feared the other dynasties. He hadn't expected that the real confidence of the North Prince lay with this old man.
Mu Changtian couldn't help but admire Lu Chen once again.
Back when he was in the Capital city, he really misjudged the situation, thinking that the North Prince was just a prodigal son. He hadn't expected the North Prince to be so formidable, to the point where even a Celestial would willingly serve him.
At the same time, Mu Changtian felt somewhat fortunate. Heaven truly wanted to rejuvenate their Mu Family.
...
At this moment.
Murong Xue'er continued to serve Lu Chen in her own way, and although it was said to be serving, Lu Chen realized that Murong Xue'er was merely satisfying her own desires.
With a chuckle in his heart, Lu Chen then lifted his hands and firmly grasped Murong Xue'er's buttocks, preventing her from moving around.
After Murong Xue'er's body was restrained by Lu Chen, she froze for a moment. She tried to twist her body to break free from Lu Chen's grip, but considering Lu Chen was a Pseudo Celestial, how could Murong Xue'er possibly be his match?
Upon finding herself immobilized, Murong Xue'er felt extremely uncomfortable. Just then, she slightly raised her upper body, looking down at Lu Chen from above.
Her eyes were misty with a veiled layer, her face filled with a seductive charm, "What... what are you doing..."
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "I asked you here to practice calligraphy, and how can I write with you behaving like this?"
Hearing these words, Murong Xue'er twisted her body, once again trying to struggle out of Lu Chen's grip.
Murong Xue'er spoke, "Practice writing... let's do that later..."
What was this time for practicing writing, Murong Xue'er thought to herself with great urgency.
Lu Chen smiled lightly, then said, "Call me 'darling,' and I'll let you go."
No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking, Murong Xue'er called out shyly and ashamed, "Darling..."

Lu Chen also kept his promise and let go of Murong Xue'er, allowing her to do as she pleased.
As evening approached.
Murong Xue'er lay on the bed with an expressionless face.
Lu Chen, lying beside Murong Xue'er, turned to his side, then lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek, smiling as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't make a move on you today, so why do you seem a bit unhappy?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Of course, Lu Chen hadn't made a move because she had been the one in control all day long.
She had never imagined she would become like that.
At this moment, Murong Xue'er bit her silver teeth and cursed herself in her heart.
She really was a shameless woman!
If it had been before, her disgraceful behavior upon coming to the Prince's Mansion could have been attributed to being forced by this man. Being the oppressed party, she had no way to resist.
But today was different; everything was her own initiative.
She couldn't understand how she could have become like that. Was she inherently a woman without any sense of shame?
After a long while, Murong Xue'er finally spoke in a cold voice, "I apologize for taking up your time today, Prince. If you wish to practice your calligraphy next time, you may send someone to fetch me. I will be leaving for today."
Having said this, Murong Xue'er prepared to get up, dress, and leave the North Prince Mansion, feeling as though she had lost all face.
She feared that in the North Prince's heart, she was no different from those women of the brothel.
However, just as Murong Xue'er was about to get up, Lu Chen rolled over and pinned her beneath him. He lifted his chest and propped his hands on either side of her head, looking down at her panicked eyes from above.
"Xue'er, I discovered a problem today, have you noticed? You seem to be even more proactive than I am?"
At these words, Murong Xue'er's cheeks turned even redder, becoming hotter as if they were about to start emitting smoke.
Then, trying to justify herself, Murong Xue'er said, "That's your illusion."
Lu Chen's mouth curved into a slight smile, and he reached out to lift Murong Xue'er's chin, staring straight into her beautiful eyes. Being gazed at so intently by Lu Chen's profound eyes, Murong Xue'er's heart became even more flustered.
She had realized why this man had wanted her to serve him today. The reason was simple: he wanted to humiliate her, to make her see clearly what kind of woman she really was.
Without a doubt, Lu Chen had succeeded, and she felt like someone driven by desire, no different from an animal, completely unable to control her inner lust.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "An illusion, huh?"
After saying so, Lu Chen did not continue but just kept looking into Murong Xue'er's eyes.
With Lu Chen gazing at her like that, Murong Xue'er's eyes kept darting away. After a short while.
Lu Chen continued to tease, "I never would have thought that Great Jue's most famous talented lady, the Inner Palace Prime Minister, would turn into such a person on my bed."
