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

Great Xia Dynasty.

Capital city, Sum Emperor's sleeping chambers.

The Sum Emperor sat cross-legged on the empty bed with eyes closed, meditating and cultivating.

In front of the Sum Emperor was a bead emitting a green glow.

If Lu Chen had been there, he would have found that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Sum Emperor's sleeping chambers was hundreds of times denser than outside.

The spiritual energy in this world was very thin, so, in theory, there should not be a place with such a concentration of spiritual energy.

The reason why the Sum Emperor's sleeping chambers had such intense spiritual energy was mainly due to the bead in front of him, which was frantically absorbing the world's spiritual energy.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the Sum Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, a shadow entered the sleeping chambers.

"Your Majesty, The Master of Divine Communication and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist have already arrived in the North Country. They are being cautious and have not directly made a move against the North Prince. They even skipped New City altogether and instead stayed in the Old City."

Although Yan County had built a New City, the Old City had not been demolished, so there were still quite a few common people living in the Old City, which was as prosperous as the New City.

After arriving in the North Country, the Eternally Mysterious Taoist and The Master of Divine Communication went straight to the Old City and did not directly head for the New City. The two did not dare to act rashly before they were certain of the real strength of the North Prince Mansion.

Especially after hearing that the North Country possessed secret weapons that defeated the Great Wu Dynasty, they became even more cautious. No one was sure whether the North Country might have even more powerful weapons.

Upon hearing the shadow's words, the Sum Emperor let out a cold laugh, then said, "Those two wouldn't be afraid of Zhuge Zhongguang, would they?"

At that moment, the shadow said, "The mysterious weapons that appeared in the North Country have made them somewhat wary of the North Prince. They fear the North Prince might have more powerful weapons."

The Sum Emperor fell into silence. Not just those two old fellows, he too was incredibly shocked and felt some fear towards the North Country when he heard that they had easily defeated Great Wu with those mysterious weapons, to the extent that Great Wu could only send an envoy to the North Country to seek peace.

And even now, he could not fathom from where the North Country had obtained those mysterious weapons.

After a long silence, the Sum Emperor said, "Find a way to slip someone into Mysterious Moon Palace to check on what they've been doing lately."

Hearing this, the shadow said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that will be difficult. The spies we previously sent to Mysterious Moon Palace were almost always discovered soon after they entered."

The Sum Emperor said indifferently, "Since it's not easy to send people in, then find a way to buy off the disciples of Mysterious Moon Palace. Everyone has desires, and I don't believe those who joined the Mysterious Moon Palace are truly doing it to attain enlightenment and become immortals."

The shadow immediately said upon hearing the Sum Emperor's words, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will handle it at once."

The Sum Emperor then waved his hand, and the shadow continued, "I take my leave, Your Majesty."

Soon after, the shadow gradually moved away from the room, and once the shadow had left, the Sum Emperor rose from the dragon bed.

He walked to the window and looked out at the scenery, muttering to himself, "Could the North Country's weapons come from Mysterious Moon Palace? If they indeed come from Mysterious Moon Palace, then exterminating the Mysterious Moon Palace in the future will not be easy..."

The Sum Emperor recalled that last year, the Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace left the mountain to spend a considerable amount of time in Yan County. A Palace Master abandoning their own sect to stay so long in the North Country was suspicious in itself.

Now, the prime suspect was Mysterious Moon Palace. If everything the North Country possessed came from Mysterious Moon Palace, then the Mysterious Moon Palace might have even stronger weapons.

With this thought, the Sum Emperor clenched his fist, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "No matter if the North Country's weapons come from Mysterious Moon Palace or not, I will one day exterminate all the sects within the Great Xia boundaries. The Great Xia is my Great Xia!"

...

Lu Chen did not know that The Master of Divine Communication and the Eternally Mysterious Taoist had already come to the North Country. Although he had the Brocade Guard keep an eye on them very early on, these two were Pseudo Celestials after all, and it would be very easy for them to avoid surveillance and tracking by the Brocade Guard.

Up to now, the Brocade Guard still have no information about those two leaving the Capital city; they still think the pair is in the Capital city.

Nevertheless, that doesn't matter. The hesitation of Eternally Mysterious Taoist and the Master of Divine Communication caused them to miss the best opportunity to act, as Xuanyuan Chaoge has already returned to Yan County from Youping County.

As long as the two Pseudo Celestials enter the new city, with Xuanyuan Chaoge's Celestial powers of perception, he will inevitably sense their presence.

At this moment, Lu Chen lay on the bed with his eyes slightly narrowed, staring straight at Murong Xue'er.

Under the active circumstances from Murong Xue'er, it didn't take long for her to become exhausted. Suddenly, she lay down, resting her entire body on Lu Chen's chest, her hurried breathing ringing in Lu Chen's ears nonstop.

Lu Chen raised his hand, gently stroking Murong Xue'er's jade back, then smiled and said, "Miss Murong, why do I feel like you've turned me into your pet macaque?"

After taking a few deep breaths, Murong Xue'er then coldly said, "We each take what we need."

Lu Chen chuckled lightly; it seemed Murong Xue'er had thoroughly let herself go.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly embraced her willowy waist, flipped over, and placed her beneath him, looking down at her from above.

Murong Xue'er's face was flushed, her eyes misty, her body exuding an incredibly seductive fragrance, and Murong Xue'er put up no resistance whatsoever.

Lu Chen then said, "Now that Miss Murong's affairs are settled, it's time to help me with my writing practice."

While he spoke, the writing brush and inkstone in the study flew straight to Lu Chen's side, and Murong Xue'er turned her head away, adopting a posture of willing submission.

Lu Chen picked up the writing brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write on her body. At that moment, Murong Xue'er thought of something, "After Wu Junwan arrives in the North Country, how will the Prince handle her?"

While writing, Lu Chen said, "Handle her? Why would I handle her?"

Murong Xue'er continued, "Wu Junwan is beautiful and dignified, enchanting in her grace. If she comes to the North Country as a Hostage, surely the Prince wouldn't pass her by."

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "Is Xue'er feeling jealous?"

All of a sudden, Murong Xue'er let out a small "yelp" and then replied, "I was just asking casually."

Lu Chen then said, "Indeed, I won't let her go. I will make her a member of my Harem, and then she'll bear my children."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er said, "She's a woman with ambition, and she actively agreed to the Martial Emperor to come to the North Country as a Hostage. If she enters the Prince's Harem, aren't you afraid that she'll turn the North Prince Mansion upside down?"

At that moment, Lu Chen lifted Murong Xue'er's leg, wrote the character "Straight" on it, and then casually said, "This spy sent by the Yue Emperor is daringly placed within the Prince's Mansion, do you think I would worry about her doing something detrimental to the North Country?"

Murong Xue'er said, "Wu Junwan is not me, nor is she like me, and I don't have the same level of ambition she does."

"I've already warned you, if you end up being tripped up by a woman, don't blame others."

Lu Chen looked at Murong Xue'er's coldly beautiful face and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Xue'er to start worrying about me proactively, how gratifying."

Murong Xue'er snorted coldly, without continuing the conversation.

Then Lu Chen flipped Murong Xue'er's body over and continued to write on her jade back.

After a while, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, then said, "Right, in a few days come to the Prince's Mansion to assist the tailor in making a Phoenix Robe that the Yue Emperor usually wears to court."

Curious, Murong Xue'er asked, "Phoenix Robe? What do you want a Phoenix Robe for?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Doesn't Wu Junwan aspire to be an Empress? I'll make her dreams come true."
