Chapter 1108: Once You Become His Woman, There's No Turning Back
Lie Hongyun did not react for a long time, feeling the thick power of slaughter emanating from Empress Tianhong, Lie Hongyun's mind went blank.
Seeing that Lu Chen completely disregarded her words, Empress Tianhong coldly said, "You've seen him, so you can leave now."
Entangled with Lu Chen countless times, Empress Tianhong knew how thick-skinned Lu Chen was, and she couldn't be bothered to get angry with him.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, "Alright, I won't disturb your cultivation."
As he spoke, Lu Chen waved his hand, and the two of them arrived outside the sleeping palace.
At this moment, Lie Hongyun was still in a state of mental turmoil.
Lu Chen said, "Feelings will not affect your path of slaughter. On the contrary, being with me will not only not hinder the restoration of your cultivation state but will actually accelerate it."
Hearing this, Lie Hongyun snapped out of her stupor and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Lu Chen said, "You can ask Empress Tianhong, the one just now, or you can directly engage in dual cultivation with me; then you'll understand why."
Lie Hongyun's jade-like face turned cold again. In the end, this man just coveted her body.
But she was somewhat interested in his words. She now wanted to know why that Empress became Lu Chen's woman and why she bore his children.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Chen continued, "Her situation is quite similar to yours. She was initially in a spiritual body state. With my help, she not only restored her physical body but her cultivation also rapidly returned to the Emperor Realm."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, a trace of doubt appeared on Lie Hongyun's face. Could it really be as he said?
Or is this man deceiving her?
Thinking of this, Lie Hongyun asked, "I've already fallen into your hands. Whatever you want to do, just do it. It seems you don't need to say so much to me."
Lie Hongyun was somewhat puzzled. The fervor in this man's eyes was so obvious. Clearly, he wanted her body. With his current strength, making a move on her wouldn't be impossible. Why say all this?
She doubted whether Lu Chen had other motives.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If it were before, I might have acted directly. Maybe this is growth."
"For now, you will stay in the Daxia Dynasty."
Lie Hongyun reminded him, "I am now the direct disciple of the Palace Master of Yunhua Palace. If you don't release me, it will be a disaster for you."
Lu Chen calmly said, "The former Saintess of Yunhua Palace is currently engaged in dual cultivation with my main body. For me, taking another Saintess is not a big deal."
"The feud is already set. If Yunhua Palace wants to attack the Daxia Dynasty, let them come."
Seeing Lu Chen so confident, Lie Hongyun was extremely puzzled. That was Yunhua Palace, a super force in the universe.
Even in her previous life, she wouldn't dare oppose Yunhua Palace, yet Lu Chen didn't care about offending Yunhua Palace at all.
Both she and Lu Chen were reincarnated Great Emperors. It was one thing for Lu Chen's cultivation to recover faster, but how could he be even bolder than her?
What exactly is his background?
Lu Chen said, "I won't restrict you much within the Daxia Dynasty. You can go wherever you want to go."
"I also won't actively sever the marriage line. When you figure it out, come to Tianchen World to find me."
Lu Chen's mindset had changed significantly compared to when he first started. In the past, he urgently needed to improve his strength. Additionally, the women he had his eyes on were all beauties; he couldn't control himself and was always eager to possess them.
But as the number of women around him grew, he began to value spiritual conquest more. After all, he had enough women. If he was in the mood, he could always find someone to enjoy the lute and zither with.
With that, Lu Chen disappeared on the spot.
After losing Lu Chen's presence, Lie Hongyun stood in the imperial palace, feeling a bit confused.
Now it seemed that her marriage line could not be severed. Could she only become Lu Chen's woman and engage in dual cultivation with him?
Just as Lie Hongyun was lost in thought, a vast force pulled her. Before she could react, her vision went dark. When light reappeared, she found herself back in Empress Tianhong's sleeping palace.
Lie Hongyun asked, "I don't know why Senior has summoned this junior?"
Although she was also a reincarnated Great Emperor, her cultivation had not yet recovered. It was normal to be humble in front of a true Great Emperor.
Empress Tianhong did not speak immediately. Her red eyes swept over Lie Hongyun's body as if inspecting something.
After a long while, Empress Tianhong finally asked, "Did you follow the slaughter path before your reincarnation?"
Though unclear why Empress Tianhong asked this, Lie Hongyun honestly replied, "No, in my previous life, this junior followed the Heartless Tao."
This was also why she didn't want to have a marriage line. If an cultivator on the Heartless Tao path connected with emotions, it might lead to irreversible consequences.
Upon hearing Lie Hongyun's reply, Empress Tianhong fell silent again.
Seeing Empress Tianhong's silence, Lie Hongyun proactively asked, "I wonder if Senior became his partner willingly?"
Hearing this question, Empress Tianhong snorted coldly. The next moment, a vast pressure descended, almost making Lie Hongyun fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Empress Tianhong quickly controlled her temper. Regaining her composure, she coldly said, "I am not his partner; we are merely cooperating."
Lie Hongyun said, "This junior understands, this junior misunderstood."
Lie Hongyun was not a fool. Though Empress Tianhong claimed it was a cooperation, the marriage line on her was thick.
Moreover, Empress Tianhong had actively borne Lu Chen's child. What kind of cooperation was that? To say she had no feelings for Lu Chen would be unbelievable.
But even Great Emperors had their pride, just like her.
Empress Tianhong continued, "If you want to follow the path of slaughter, becoming his partner and engaging in dual cultivation is indeed the best choice."
Seeing Empress Tianhong say this, Lie Hongyun became even more curious. The path of slaughter required killing. Why was becoming Lu Chen's partner the best choice?
Lie Hongyun immediately asked, "Why is this?"
Empress Tianhong did not answer directly, "You will understand when you engage in dual cultivation with him."
Although Lie Hongyun did not understand, since even this Empress said so, there was a high probability it was true.
A Great Emperor who mastered slaughter wouldn't deceive her over such matters.
Lie Hongyun continued to ask, "This junior has one more question. How many years did it take Senior to restore from a soul state to the Emperor Realm?"
Empress Tianhong replied without expression, "Less than fifty years."
Hearing this, Lie Hongyun was stunned once again.
How did Lu Chen do it?
Could dual cultivation be that effective?
Empress Tianhong could see that Lie Hongyun was tempted. She sneered and said, "As you called me Senior, I'll give you a piece of advice: once you become his woman, there's no turning back."
Since becoming Lu Chen's woman, Empress Tianhong quickly became addicted to cultivating with him, unable to extricate herself.
