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

Upon hearing these words, Xue Linglong's heart quivered, and then she asked, "Is Prince also planning to kill me?"

Lu Chen raised his hand and pinched Xue Linglong's delicate chin, saying, "How could that be? You are my female slave, my plaything, and my private property. I am not one to casually destroy my own private property."

Feeling Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong immediately felt a surge of warmth inside her heart. In no time, this warmth spread throughout her body, and she began to feel feverish.

Xue Linglong was puzzled. Why was her body reacting in such a strange way?

Especially upon hearing Lu Chen say that she was his plaything, his private property, her heart throbbed with excitement.

Xue Linglong's heart gave another jolt. It was definitely this damned man's doing!

How could she harbor such contemptible thoughts!

It must be this man who had used some Charm Skill on her, altering her thoughts and making her willing to be Lu Chen's plaything.

Although that's what she reasoned in her mind, Xue Linglong didn't utter a word.

Lu Chen then continued, "I plan to lure those from the Taiyin Divine Sect to the outskirts of Yan County and take care of them all there."

"So, I will need your help."

Xue Linglong immediately understood Lu Chen's intention, and then she said, "I understand what Prince means."

Xue Linglong then asked, "When does Prince plan to make a move on them?"

Lu Chen took out a scroll and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. This is the route map, you'll lead them out of the city on this route to where I'll be waiting to ambush them."

Receiving the route map, Xue Linglong still asked with some concern, "Prince won't stab me in the back afterwards, right?"

Xue Linglong knew all too well her status as a Demon Sect Sorceress. She was afraid that Lu Chen didn't trust her, thinking she was only pretending to defect and that, once he disposed of the Taiyin Divine Sect members, he might eliminate her as well.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "After all, I am the ruler of a feudal state. How could I possibly go back on my word?"

Xue Linglong retorted, "The higher one's position, the more ruthless one becomes. Since ancient times, the fate of female slaves of such powerful beings has never been good. They were either given away or secretly killed by their own masters."

Lu Chen chuckled and then, looking into her eyes, said, "You're right, most female slaves indeed meet grim fates, but those are someone else's female slaves. The end for my female slaves is always a good one."

"I believe you have also investigated me, so you should know that Wang Qingci is my female slave. Look at her now, isn't she living well in North Prince Mansion? Not only is she living well, but now she also bears my offspring."

Thinking it over, Xue Linglong then said, "Then I will trust Prince this one time."

At that moment, Lu Chen placed a heavy hand on Xue Linglong's bottom and patted it, saying, "A Demon Sect Sorceress like you, I have never collected one before. You are one of my rarest collections; how could I possibly bear to destroy you?"

With that, Lu Chen's hand moved to Xue Linglong's petite mouth as he continued, "I can make you a promise. Once I become the Great Xia Emperor, you will, at the very least, have the status of a consort."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong spat out Lu Chen's finger and chuckled lightly, "Prince better not make empty promises to me. I'm no fool. For a Demon Sect Sorceress like me, at most, Prince will keep me as a female slave for entertainment. How could you possibly grant me an official status?"

Lu Chen said, "If you don't believe it, so be it. But I always honor my words."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xue Linglong then struggled slightly, attempting to rise from Lu Chen, "Prince should let me go now. I've been missing for two days. If I don't show up soon, that old wretch Cao Xianya will start to suspect."

Lu Chen no longer made it difficult for Xue Linglong and released her.

Xue Linglong then headed towards the doorway, speaking as she walked, "Although I don't know what tactics Prince used on me, I have to admit that the days spent with Prince have been the happiest. I hope, in the end, Prince won't renege on his word and will spare my life."

As her voice fell, Xue Linglong left the study. She ultimately chose to trust Lu Chen. If this despicable man wanted to kill her, she wouldn't be able to resist anyway, with a Celestial from Mysterious Moon Palace present.

She was a Demon Sect Sorceress, and she rarely trusted anyone, not even members of the Taiyin Divine Sect. This was the first time she had chosen to trust someone, and it was someone who considered her no more than a plaything.

She was taking a gamble. If she was right and the North Prince indeed liked her body and wouldn't kill her, then she might have a happy time in North Prince Mansion. Even if this period might not last long, it would be better than never having experienced such a life.

Watching Xue Linglong's enchanting figure leave, Lu Chen's lips curled into a faint smile. It seemed the sorceress had been thoroughly subdued by him. Continue your journey with empire

Still, this sorceress was rather dangerous. It might be better to take her with him when heading south.

After all, as a sorceress of the Taiyin Divine Sect, even if she had been subdued by him, she might not necessarily be kind to other people in the North Prince Mansion. He had to be cautious about this.

...

When Xue Linglong returned to the temporary base of the Taiyin Divine Sect, Cao Xianya immediately appeared before her, "Saintess, where have you been these past few days? Why couldn't this old one find you?"
