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

Su Hanyan's slender jade arms weakly encircled Lu Chen's neck, her entire body sprawled atop his, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, has it been two... two months already?" Although the Rejuvenating Skill could continuously eliminate any discomfort in the body, the tension in her mind remained constant, making it somewhat unbearable for Su Hanyan. At that moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at the maid serving by the soft couch, asking, "How long has it been?" Blushing, the maid answered, "Your Majesty, it has been one month and two days." Hearing the maid's response, Su Hanyan felt a pang in her heart; she thought two months had already passed, but it had only been one month. Doesn't that mean she still has to stay here for another month, feeling as if her body no longer belonged to her? Seeing the beauty's sultry and frail appearance, Lu Chen also knew that Su Hanyan was probably at her limit. He gently caressed her jade back and then said, "Let's rest for a few days." "I'll come to see you in a few days." As his words fell, Lu Chen gently turned, placing Su Hanyan's body on the soft couch before withdrawing and walking towards the bath. Seeing Lu Chen finally get up, Su Hanyan let out a sigh of relief, finally able to rest. Su Hanyan then circulated her skill, striving to calm her restless heart, while Lu Chen, after washing up in the bath, went directly to Yun Xianxian's room. Last time Yun Xianxian had made three puppets for him, he had promised to repay her, and he intended to keep his word. As she was meditating, Yun Xianxian sensed Lu Chen's presence and immediately opened her beautiful eyes. Clad in a white gauze, Yun Xianxian sat on the soft couch, radiating a holy glow that irresistibly beckoned one to explore. Seeing Lu Chen staring intently at her from the bedside, Yun Xianxian immediately thought of what Lu Chen had been doing in Su Hanyan's chamber over the past month. With a cold expression and a slightly trembling voice, Yun Xianxian said, "You... why have you come?" With a slight smile, Lu Chen replied, "Honored Master, previously you helped me create three puppets, and I said I would repay you. I meant my words." Yun Xianxian said, "It was a trivial effort, no need for that. You should go attend to your matters." Still, Yun Xianxian was worried that Lu Chen would treat her the same way he treated Su Hanyan. But Lu Chen paid no heed to Yun Xianxian's words. He boldly approached the soft couch and then pushed her down onto it. Yun Xianxian's face flushed slightly, "Rebellious disciple, what... what do you intend to do!" Lu Chen did not speak further; he leaned forward, his lips nearing Yun Xianxian's. Realizing she was likely unable to escape, Yun Xianxian quickly put her hand against Lu Chen's mouth, then said, "Let's get it straight, I won't serve you like Su Hanyan did." If it were just matters typical of a Daoist couple, she wouldn't have much objection, but if she were to serve him like Su Hanyan had, she would not comply. Lu Chen said, "I understand, I don't expect that." Seeing Lu Chen agree, Yun Xianxian then removed her hand, and Lu Chen immediately leaned down, kissing Yun Xianxian's red lips. "Mmm..." Moments later, the two were fully engaged. At dusk, in the Ziyang World. A woman clad in red clothes entered Black Moon City; her movements ghostlike, one moment appearing above the City Lord's Mansion, the next on the city tower. The woman's fluctuations in spiritual power were not obvious, almost no one noticed her presence, not even Ji Qiuyu in the City Lord's Mansion nor Lu Chen's puppet realized that a powerful being had arrived in Black Moon City. In the dead of night, Ji Qiuyu, having finished dealing with the documents of Black Moon City, stood up and stretched, and then remembered Lu Chen. At that moment, a maid asked, "Lord City Lord, the hot water is ready." Ji Qiuyu replied, "No need for now, I'm going to discuss cultivation matters with the Deputy City Lord." With those words, Ji Qiuyu headed straight for Lu Chen's room. At this time, Lu Chen's true body was busy, his control over the puppet was weak, and his perception had greatly decreased. Hearing a knock on the door, Lu Chen realized Ji Qiuyu had come. "Lu Chen, may I come in?" Lu Chen answered, "Huh… come… come in." Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Ji Qiuyu felt something was peculiar, but she didn't think much of it and entered the room. At that moment, Lu Chen's puppet lay on a couch looking utterly drained, prompting a curious Ji Qiuyu to ask, "What's the matter with you?" Lu Chen replied, "Huff huff… my true body is going through a... er… breakthrough, so my control over the puppet has weakened." Ji Qiuyu didn't suspect anything, she walked over and sat beside the couch, "Then you should retract your divine sense and focus on your breakthrough. I'll watch over your puppet." Using one's divine sense for two purposes was a big taboo for cultivators experiencing a breakthrough, as it could easily lead to disastrous results. However, Ji Qiuyu had no intention of leaving just like that. Since Lu Chen was in the middle of a breakthrough, it meant his puppet was unprotected. What if another assassin arrived and harmed Lu Chen's puppet incarnation? Hence, she decided to stay and guard it. Lu Chen said, "Er... okay..." And so, Ji Qiuyu stayed by Lu Chen's couch, listening to his occasional strange noises. Listening to these sounds, Ji Qiuyu felt inexplicably restless. She wondered why she would have such thoughts about a mere puppet. Thinking of her impure thoughts, Ji Qiuyu's face grew hot, and she swiftly circulated her spiritual power, trying to calm her inner turmoil. As time ticked by, Lu Chen's "breakthrough" continued, with his heavy noises becoming more frequent. Just as Ji Qiuyu's mind wandered, suddenly, gusts of cold wind blew in, rattling the windows of the room. Ji Qiuyu snapped back to her senses and quickly rose from the couch, "Who's there!" Though the visitor had concealed their aura, Ji Qiuyu had detected a strong bloody scent, clearly indicating another assassin had come. After Ji Qiuyu spoke, no one responded, but she remained vigilant, watching the doorway. After what seemed like a long time, a voice resounded in the room, "I just now heard noises in the room and thought Lord Ji was with Lord Lu in a lovers' embrace, but it turned out to be nothing." "What's wrong with Lord Lu, why the constant moaning? Do you need me to check on you?" Hearing the woman's cold voice, Ji Qiuyu furrowed her brows. The voice was heard, but the person was not seen. Moreover, no aura was detected, only the strong scent of blood, indicating the strength of the newcomer far surpassed theirs. Ji Qiuyu's heart tightened in an instant. However, she understood this person probably came for Lu Chen, likely targeting the Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique. If it were merely to assassinate Lu Chen, they wouldn't have sent such an capable assassin.
