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

Lu Chen replied, “I won’t.”

After hearing Lu Chen’s definitive answer, Chen Wanrong finally made a decision. She gazed into Lu Chen’s profound eyes and said calmly, “After the child turns fifteen, I will return to Mysterious Moon Palace to continue my cultivation.”

Chen Wanrong’s words carried two pieces of information: one, she would not marry Lu Chen, and two, she was willing to have a child with him.

Honestly, Lu Chen didn’t care at all about whether Chen Wanrong wanted to return to Mysterious Moon Palace or not. Once his strength was strong enough, even stronger than the Honorable One of Mysterious Moon Palace, he could visit Mysterious Moon Palace every day to cultivate his relationship with Chen Wanrong without any issues.

Lu Chen said with a smile, “Then what if our first child isn’t yet fifteen and you become pregnant again? What then?”

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong’s complexion became even more flushed. She turned her head away and then said, “We’ll discuss it when the time comes.”

Seeing the fairy’s shy demeanor, Lu Chen couldn’t resist. He leaned down once again and kissed her tender red lips.

At that moment, a trace of resentment appeared in Chen Wanrong’s heart. This man was truly too domineering; he’d been like this with her the first time, and she didn’t know how he would play with her in the future at the North Prince Mansion.

Now, not only had her plan failed, but she had also gotten herself involved. She couldn’t help wondering if her decision to come to the North Prince Mansion had been right or wrong.

…

When Chen Wanrong and Lu Chen returned, it was already around two or three in the afternoon.

Lu Chen’s prolonged absence had caused all the women in the inner courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion to become anxious. He usually wouldn’t leave the Prince’s Mansion for so long. It was one thing for him to be away for a night, but now it was almost evening, and Lu Chen had yet to return. Moreover, not many people in the Prince’s Mansion knew where he had gone.

Previously, Lu Chen would always inform someone at the Prince’s Mansion about his destinations so that Mu Zixuan and the others, when they asked, could have an idea of his whereabouts and be reassured.

At this moment.

All of Lu Chen’s wives and concubines were waiting anxiously in the main hall of the Prince’s Mansion.

Zhou Youyou, holding a child, said, “The Prince is so powerful; surely nothing could have happened to him, right?”

Yelv Nanyan spoke up, “Whenever the Prince went somewhere in the past, he would remind Xiao Huan or tell a maid, but this time, he didn’t inform anyone. I’m afraid something must have happened to him.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan’s expression showed her worry. However, Chu Yuqin then said, “Don’t worry, Chen’er will be fine. Currently, in the North Country, there are very few people who can harm him. He probably had some important matter and left in a hurry, which is why he forgot to tell a maid about his whereabouts.”

Lu Chen was now at the Grandmaster Realm. There was nobody in this world who could silently take away a Grandmaster unless he left of his own accord.

Clearly, Lu Chen had left the North Prince Mansion on his own.

Just as Mu Zixuan and the others were worrying about and comforting one another regarding Lu Chen, a maid rushed into the great hall and said, “Madam, the Prince has returned!”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately handed the child she was holding to the wet nurse and then led Lu Chen’s wives and concubines outside.

At that moment, Lu Chen was standing at the entrance of the main courtyard, checking the system notifications from the previous night and thinking about how to surprise his wives and concubines.

[Congratulations, Host, for adding a new wife and concubine. Reward: Glassmaking technology.]

[For cultivating feelings with a wife and concubine, Qi Refinement Mantra experience increases by 10,000, Rejuvenating Skill experience increases by 10,000, Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill experience increases by 10,000, Absorption Technique experience increases by 10,000, Shadow Shifting experience increases by 10,000, Shadow Shifting breaks through to the third level. The host receives an Emotional Crit, doubling all experience points.]

[For being spiritually attuned with a wife and concubine, reward: 10 Preserving Beauty Pills.]

Seeing this full page of system notifications, Lu Chen’s smile was radiant.

With the glassmaking technology, the paper windows of the Prince’s Mansion could be replaced. From now on, it would not be so easy for someone to peep into the rooms by poking through the paper windows.

Of course, this was just one use of glass. Glass had various applications, such as glass cups, bottles, and the creation of various exquisite glass products, making it a profitable technology.

While glass had many uses, what excited Lu Chen even more were the Preserving Beauty Pills.

Lu Chen then checked the effects of the Preserving Beauty Pills.

[Preserving Beauty Pill: Upon consumption, one can remain forever young, only the hair will turn white.]

No woman doesn’t wish to stay forever young and beautiful. These Preserving Beauty Pills were extremely important to the women of the Prince’s Mansion, especially the ordinary people like Mu Zixuan and the sisters from Dazhou and Xiaozhou.

Yelv Nanyan and the others were Martial Artists. As Martial Artists progress to a certain Realm, they don’t age as easily. But ordinary people are different; without skill within their bodies, they age very quickly.

Although Lu Chen had recently been using the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill to help Mu Zixuan and the others cultivate, their cultivation speed was relatively slow. Mu Zixuan had always been worried about what to do if her Cultivation State hadn’t improved and she could no longer maintain her youthful beauty before aging set in.

Now with the Preserving Beauty Pills, they no longer had to worry about aging.

While Lu Chen was absorbed in the system interface, Mu Zixuan appeared in front of him with a group of his wives and concubines. At that moment, Mu Zixuan said, “Prince, you’ve finally returned.”

Chu Yuqin added from the side, “Chen’er, when you go out, you should at least inform someone in the Prince’s Mansion. Zixuan and the others have been extremely worried.”

Hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, Lu Chen snapped back to reality and said with a smile, “Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush when I went out last night and forgot to tell someone.

Just then, Mu Zixuan suddenly caught a whiff of a faint fragrance on Lu Chen, a scent she was particularly sensitive to, and immediately realized that it didn’t belong to any of the women present.

Gazing at Lu Chen with a wistful expression, Mu Zixuan said, “Prince, with so many sisters in the Prince’s Mansion, why did you go out to pick wildflowers?”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Mu Zixuan’s sense of smell to be so sharp.

Then Lu Chen said with a laugh, “What wildflowers? What I picked was from the Yunrong Courtyard.”
