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

Watching Lu Chen leave the room, Murong Xue'er, who had slumped onto the bed, tried to rise only to be struck by waves of pain, rendering her incapable of moving.

To prevent Murong Xue'er from discovering his healing abilities, Lu Chen had not treated her wounds. For the past few hours, Murong Xue'er had been relying solely on her Master Level body to endure.

Alas, no matter how resolute she was, she could never be a match for Lu Chen. After all, he was a Grandmaster, not to mention someone who had taken the Dragon and Tiger Pill. Murong Xue'er had just lost her virginity, how could she possibly bear it?

At this moment, Murong Xue'er broke out in a cold sweat; even she could not hold back, cursing through gritted teeth, "This damnable lecher!"

Immediately after, Murong Xue'er hastily summoned the servant girls of the embassy, and with their assistance, she slowly washed off the words Lu Chen had written on her body.

While bathing, Murong Xue'er's mind replayed the events that had transpired with Lu Chen. She couldn't help wondering how the North Prince possessed such terrifying strength.

Thinking of this, Murong Xue'er's cheeks once again flushed with heat. Then, looking at the character "正" between her legs, she suddenly grew curious.

Lu Chen had written several "正" characters between her legs, but she did not understand their meaning, nor had Lu Chen explained them to her, including the three characters on her abdomen. She always felt these characters had some special significance.

After pondering for a moment, Murong Xue'er still couldn't figure out the meaning of these characters, so she stopped thinking about them.

Regardless, she had succeeded in getting close to Lu Chen. It would be relatively easier to extract information from him in the future.

At that moment, Murong Xue'er suddenly remembered something and quickly activated her inner strength, expelling all the impurities from her body. Soon, the water in the bath became extremely murky.

Murong Xue'er hurriedly had the servant girls replace the water with a fresh bucket. After washing herself again, she still felt unclean despite already having bathed twice, so she bathed once more for a total of three times.

After the bath, Murong Xue'er returned to her bed, and sighing softly, she saw the faint red on the sheets.

She had long guessed her fate, that the Empress would one day use her as a tool, but she did not expect her first time to be with someone from another dynasty.

Murong Xue'er consoled herself, thinking that it wasn't such a loss. The North Prince, as a man, was more handsome than most and possessed even greater strength. To have lost her virginity to him could be considered a stroke of luck within misfortune.

It was just a pity that they would ultimately become enemies.

...

Meanwhile.

On his way back, Lu Chen sat in the carriage and opened up the system prompt.

"[Congratulations host, for obtaining a woman, reward: Heart Controlling Skill.]"

"[As the host and his concubines share a heartfelt connection, reward: a top-grade Realm Breaking Pill.]"

"[Host has cultivated feelings with Murong Xue'er once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points added...]"

Surprised by the rewards before him, Lu Chen had not expected to gain cultivation techniques. But what was this Heart Controlling Skill?

With that thought, Lu Chen immediately clicked to read the introduction of the Heart Controlling Skill.

"[Heart Controlling Skill: Using the Heart Controlling Skill, one can control an enemy to a certain extent, forcing them to answer questions they wish to know. When perfected, it can even control an enemy, making them take their own life.]"

Reading about this cultivation technique, Lu Chen was stunned; this was a skill for manipulating others.

In the future, if they captured spies or the like, wouldn't it be much easier to interrogate them and get the information they wanted? This skill would prove extremely useful.

Having read the introduction of the Heart Controlling Skill, Lu Chen glanced at the Realm Breaking Pill's description.

[Realm Breaking Pill: Upon consumption, it allows an Extreme Realm Master martial artist to advance directly to the Grandmaster Realm.]

Seeing the description of the Realm Breaking Pill, Lu Chen felt extremely surprised. He hadn't expected the pill to be so powerful. He regretted leaving so quickly just now; he should have seized the opportunity to test his connection with Murong Xue'er a few more times, to see if he could achieve mind and spirit communion again.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen rubbed his temples. He had not used the Rejuvenating Skill to heal Murong Xue'er's minor injuries. Hoping to achieve mind and spirit communion several more times seemed rather unlikely.

Forget it, what's done is done. From now on, he would just have to try harder with his other wives and consorts. Perhaps, next time, he might have a chance of getting another Realm Breaking Pill.

But then again, who should he give the Realm Breaking Pill to?

Most of the people in the Prince's Mansion were only Half-step Grandmasters, not even Grandmasters. Only Bai Qingqing and Dongfang Longyue were Extreme Realm Masters. Administering the pill to them could make the North Prince Mansion possess another Grandmaster immediately.

However, after some thought, Lu Chen decided to give the Realm Breaking Pill to Chu Yuqin.

Chu Yuqin had taken care of him since his childhood, eventually married him, and even bore him children. His feelings for Chu Yuqin were the deepest.

Once Chu Yuqin broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, her lifespan would increase by several hundred years, allowing her to accompany him for a longer time.

Soon, Lu Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion.

It was now evening, and the red glow of the sunset shone on Lu Chen, casting a long shadow behind him.

Chu Yuqin was in the courtyard soothing the child when she suddenly noticed a shadow blocking the sunlight. She looked up in the direction of the setting sun.

Seeing that it was Lu Chen returning, Chu Yuqin smiled sweetly and said, "Chen'er, I've heard from Qing Li that you went to a poetry gathering?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes, it was hosted by Murong Xue'er."

Chu Yuqin said, "Now that you are a prince, indeed you should participate more in such elegant events."

As soon as Chu Yuqin finished speaking, Chu Qingli exposed the truth, "What elegance? Murong Xue'er held the poetry gathering at the Hundred Flowers Tower. How elegant could that place be? She clearly wanted to seduce a certain bad guy."

"Someone is returning so late; he must have snuck some treats."

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "Qing Li understands me better."

Lu Chen did not deny it. His attendance at Murong Xue'er's poetry gathering was not really about the poetry; he went for the sake of Murong Xue'er's favor.

At that moment, Lu Chen walked over to Chu Yuqin, slipped his hand around her waist, and after glancing at the child in her arms, he said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, hand the child over to Qing Li for a moment, I have something important to tell you."

Curious, Chu Yuqin asked, "What is it?"

Lu Chen said, "Let's talk about it in the room; it's about your Realm."

Chu Yuqin then said to Chu Qingli, "Qing Li, please take care of Wang'er for me."

Chu Qingli hurriedly took the child from Chu Yuqin's hands and gave Lu Chen a resentful look. She was no fool; how could she not know why Lu Chen asked her to take care of Chu Yuqin's child?

This bad guy, just back from the Hundred Flowers Tower, and now he's come to find her sister. Such a beast.
