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

Upon hearing the conversation between Emperor Xuanming and Emperor Yanyue, the Life-saving Empress immediately guessed what had happened.

Then she glanced at the Great Emperors watching the drama, "Yanyue stays, the others return."

Hearing this, the Great Emperors replied in unison, "Yes, Palace Master."

Then the Great Emperors left the Serenity Tower, leaving only Emperor Yanyue and the Life-saving Empress.

The Life-saving Empress asked coldly, "Wasn't it made clear that you were to be the Protector of the Saintess? Why have you returned?"

Emperor Yanyue quickly said, "Palace Master, while protecting the Saintess, I encountered a sixteen-year-old youth in the Returning Ruin Realm. Seeing his extraordinary talent, I separated a strand of my Divine Soul and brought him back."

"Who would have thought that his true objective was Liu Qingyun!"

"Please, Palace Master, punish me!"

Upon hearing Yanyue's words, the Life-saving Empress fell into contemplation.

However, she did not blame Yanyue and instead asked, "Describe in detail how you met him, and everything he did in Yunhua Palace, tell me thoroughly."

"Yes, Palace Master."

Emperor Yanyue then recounted where she met Lu Chen, what Lu Chen did in Yunhua Palace, and the anomalies he caused in the Taoist Mysterious Small World to the Life-saving Empress.

After hearing Yanyue's words, the Life-saving Empress's expression became even more severe.

This was the first time she had heard of another cultivator comprehending the Life Dao, arousing her curiosity. Whether Lu Chen defiled Liu Qingyun because he truly loved her or because he knew she was prepared as the Seizing Body was uncertain.

Cultivators on the same path are generally amicable, but exceptions exist.

When there are few cultivators on a path, they tend not to tolerate the presence of others.

Take the Slaughter Path, for example. Currently, Emperor Shenwu is the sole master of it. If he discovered another Quasi-Emperor mastering the Slaughter Path, he would eliminate them at all costs.

As long as he remains the sole master, he could monopolize the entire Power of Slaughter.

The Life-saving Empress suspected Lu Chen of trying to sabotage her reincarnation plan, eliminating her to control the Life Dao himself.

At this thought, the Life-saving Empress sneered, "How greedy, does he not fear being overwhelmed?"

The Life-saving Empress was now almost certain that Lu Chen was a Great Emperor on the Life Dao, and creating a deceptive secondary body to mislead Yanyue was not surprising.

A Great Emperor mastering the Life Dao could easily create a deceptive secondary body; even she could do it.

In any case, enmity had been formed.

Daring to sabotage her reincarnation plan, no matter who it is, must die!

The Life-saving Empress then said to Yanyue, "Let's forget this time. If it happens again, you know the consequences."

Hearing the Life-saving Empress's warning, Emperor Yanyue broke into a cold sweat, understanding that in the past, the Life-saving Empress would surely punish her. However, with the impending catastrophe, they all needed to prepare, explaining why she was spared this time.

But the Life-saving Empress wouldn't always be so lenient. Emperor Yanyue quickly said, "Rest assured, Palace Master, I will never bring anyone into Yunhua Palace without permission again!"

The Life-saving Empress then asked, "How is the Saintess's training progressing?"

Emperor Yanyue replied, "Reporting to the Palace Master, the Saintess is heading towards the edge of the universe. She says she wants to revisit her birthplace."

The Life-saving Empress frowned, revisit her birthplace?

"So she hasn't severed her worldly attachments?"

Wanting to revisit her birthplace means Lie Hongyun still has emotional ties to people or things from her past, which is not good, at least not for the Life-saving Empress.

She did not want to see Lie Hongyun as an emotional person. With Liu Qingyun as a precedent, any sign of emotions from Lie Hongyun would make the Life-saving Empress wary.

The Life-saving Empress then said, "Keep a close eye on her. If there's anything in her hometown that she misses, find a way to eliminate it."

Emperor Yanyue understood the Life-saving Empress's intent, "Yes, Palace Master."

The Life-saving Empress glanced again at the chaotic scene before her, sneering, "Do not let me find you."

...

Lu Chen directly brought Liu Qingyun back to Liu Qingqiu's chamber in the Yancheng Imperial Palace. Liu Qingqiu had been planning to cultivate with Lu Chen's Quasi-Emperor secondary body, but the next moment, two figures appeared in the room.

Seeing the main body suddenly appear in her chamber, Liu Qingqiu's jade-like hands, which had been unfastening Lu Chen's belt, froze.

She hadn't expected Lu Chen to bring the main body back so quickly. Earlier, the main body's Divine Sense had been in utter despair, and within an hour, she had been rescued.

Seeing her main body, Liu Qingqiu felt a mix of emotions. She knew very well that Lu Chen's affection for the main body far exceeded his affection for her.

Even though she was identical to the main body, whenever Liu Qingyun took over her body, Lu Chen became exceedingly ferocious.

Everyone knew that Lu Chen's intensity was directly proportional to his affection for the woman.

Previously, Lu Chen treated her as the main body. Now, with the main body back, her role as a replacement might be over, and perhaps she would disappear in the future.

Looking at Liu Qingyun, Liu Qingqiu said with complex feelings, "Now that you're saved, it's time for us to fully merge."

Though Liu Qingqiu felt reluctant, she had grown accustomed to Liu Qingyun using her body to be with Lu Chen and had come to terms with it.

Their relationship was different from that of Yun Xianxian and Yun Qingshu. Liu Qingqiu's connection with Liu Qingyun was more intimate; a mere thought from Liu Qingyun could take control of her body.

From Liu Qingqiu's tone, Liu Qingyun sensed her unwillingness. She calmly said, "If you wish to continue existing, we don't have to merge."

Liu Qingqiu looked at Lu Chen, "What do you think?"

Lu Chen raised his hand and caressed Liu Qingqiu's delicate cheek, "To me, the more, the merrier."

Liu Qingqiu gave Lu Chen an exasperated look.

"Enough of that. Qingyun has finally escaped her ordeal, so we should celebrate properly."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen's Returning Ruin Realm body disappeared, and his Great Emperor main body appeared beside Liu Qingyun.

Feeling the pressure from Lu Chen, Liu Qingyun was slightly taken aback, her mature and stunning face showed a hint of coldness.

Although she had used Liu Qingqiu's body to be with Lu Chen over the years, it was just a secondary body, and all sensations were somewhat dampened.

The main body was completely different. Memories of the various situations in the Red Flower Sedan with Lu Chen flooded her mind.

At that moment, Lu Chen's deep voice sounded in Liu Qingyun's ear, "Didn't you say that if I saved you, you would do as I pleased from now on? Right?"
