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

The Mysterious Female Technique was after all just a cultivation technique, even if Su Hanyan fully activated it, the flesh that was supposed to be soft remained soft, showing no change at all.

Su Hanyan thought she could try to use the Mysterious Female Technique to make Lu Chen uncomfortable, but that was simply wishful thinking.

Not only did it fail to make Lu Chen uncomfortable, it actually benefited him instead.

Seeing Su Hanyan frantically activating the Mysterious Female Technique, Lu Chen could hardly suppress a chuckle inside. Su Hanyan was not the first woman to do this, he had had wives and concubines in the past who tried to use this method to get back at him, and there were quite a few.

The result, as you might imagine, was predictable.

They were all suppressed by Lu Chen.

Su Hanyan soon realized that her Mysterious Female Technique seemed to have no effect on Lu Chen at all, and as time went on, her consciousness started to disperse.

Force is mutual.

She exerted pressure on Lu Chen, and Lu Chen naturally exerted some reactionary force on her.

Half a month later.

Through the spreading of Misty Immortal Sect disciples, all the major cultivator forces in Black Dragon County knew about Su Hanyan's seclusion in the Imperial Palace.

Although the Imperial Palace of Black Dragon City was just the former Imperial Palace of Black Dragon Country, Lu Chen was currently residing there, and the fact that she could seclude herself in this palace sufficiently illustrated the complicated nature of the relationship between Su Hanyan and Lu Chen.

Some small factions within the Misty Immortal Sect had initially thought about leaving and joining the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, but, upon hearing this news, they immediately abandoned the idea.

Meanwhile.

Black Dragon Country, Imperial Palace.

Inside a certain chamber, two people were sparring, but it was a one-sided battle, with only one party being utterly defeated.

Seeing Lu Chen who was toying with her, Su Hanyan felt utterly disheartened about escaping.

Over this half month, she had truly understood the terrifying aspect of Lu Chen.

The constant pleasure made her feel like she had fallen. She suspected that once she left Lu Chen, she might recall everything that happened in this half month and be unable to detach herself from this man.

Seeing Su Hanyan's seductive yet desolate appearance, Lu Chen paused his actions and gently caressed her face, smiling as he asked, "My dear, do you still wish to flee?"

Hearing this question, Su Hanyan scoffed. "Do you really think that by doing this you can make me unable to leave you forever? Cultivators cultivate the mind. If I can't even control such basic desires, then all my past cultivation would have been in vain."

For cultivators, controlling desire is fundamental. Although she felt unable to control herself now, Su Hanyan believed that once she left this man, she would somehow manage to forget her feelings from the past half month.

Compared to cultivating the great Tao, such base desires accounted for little. She refused to believe that being a cultivator of the Yin-Yang Realm, she couldn't manage to control her body's base desires.

Although that's what she thought, she was also somewhat uncertain about herself. During this half month, her realm had risen by two minor realms, and the pleasure had numbed her consciousness, making it difficult for her to stop.

Seeing Su Hanyan's stubbornness, Lu Chen didn't say much more and went back to busying himself with his own matters.

At this moment, a seductive flush had surfaced on Su Hanyan's face, and she felt like her mind was about to break.

Fortunately, she had practiced the Mysterious Female Technique in the past half month. Though it benefited this man, training in the Mysterious Female Technique also allowed her to shift some of her attention, preventing her from losing her consciousness completely and becoming a slave to desire.

Seeing that Lu Chen had no intention of stopping, Su Hanyan felt somewhat helpless. Could it really be as her two direct disciples had said, that this guy could go on for a month or two?

Was it necessary…

Even if he really was that capable, there was no need to always focus his mind on such matters, was there? As a cultivator from a major power, shouldn't all his focus be on cultivation?

Although such matters were joyful, Su Hanyan still couldn't understand why Lu Chen would focus all his attention on them. In her view, someone like Lu Chen, who came from a major power to gain experience, shouldn't indulge in affairs between men and women.

She also knew that Lu Chen was using some kind of dual cultivation technique, but the effect of dual cultivation techniques was limited. She had experienced the same thing when she practiced the Mysterious Female Technique; initially, her cultivation state improved very quickly, but as time passed, the speed at which she could enhance her cultivation state slowed when running the Mysterious Female Technique now.

Su Hanyan now felt although she was not exactly Lu Chen's furnace cauldron, she had become some kind of vessel for this man.

Lu Chen was like a sharp sword, and she was his scabbard; she, as his scabbard, could not limit anything about Lu Chen—if he wanted to come out, he would come out, and if he wanted to go in, he would go in.

Some time later, Lu Chen took a deep breath and waved his hand, a sphere of spiritual power cleaning all the sweat beads off his body.

Lu Chen looked at Su Hanyan again. Su Hanyan with her small mouth slightly open, kept taking deep breaths.

Lu Chen said, "Do you think I married so many wives and treated them so well because I want them to voluntarily take calamities in my place?"

Seeing that Lu Chen had once again directly expressed her thoughts, Su Hanyan was slightly stunned. Why did this man know everything she was thinking?

She now suspected that Lu Chen could read minds, knowing everything she thought.

Following that, Su Hanyan asked in a cold tone, "Isn't it?"

"For someone as significant as you, how could you possibly treat women from a lower world so well? Even if you are lecherous, in your view, those women are just your playthings."

"You being good to them must certainly have an ulterior motive. Their physique is nothing special, neither do they possess any treasures; the only thing you could be scheming is for them to some day sacrifice themselves for you willingly."

Lu Chen spoke with a smile, "Your line of thinking isn't too far off."

"The Cultivation World is a place where the weak are prey to the strong, and mortals are like ants, but not all cultivators are cold-blooded. Couldn't I be a responsible cultivator?"

Su Hanyan coldly said, "If you were truly a noble person in character, you wouldn't be capable of forcefully taking possession of a woman's body."

Lu Chen spoke calmly, "Human nature is complex and contradictory; it doesn't mean that because I did something bad, I am completely bad."

"This world isn't just black and white; there's also gray."

Su Hanyan said expressionlessly, "Why are you telling me all this? Do you think I will start to feel affection for you because of these words?"

Lu Chen said, "That's not the case; I just don't like being misunderstood."

"Since you've already guessed my distinguished identity, haven't you considered that if someone as noble as I needed someone to block calamities, I wouldn't look for them in this world?

"Just one word from me, and many factions will send their finest maidens to me."

"Furthermore, if you ever want to leave me, you can do so at any time. I won't stop you."
