Chapter 2218: Chapter 1908: Prince Zhen Nan Has No Reason to Do This

In Wenren Ce’s view, Lu Chen is just a frivolous playboy. Even though there are rumors today that he has become a Spirit Martial Artist at the Early Mortal Realm, he’s still a waste.

Perhaps their Blood Cloud Tower can’t destroy the entire Zhen Nan Prince Manor, but killing a waste like Lu Chen shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Moreover, this time, the assassins of Blood Cloud Tower had already gotten close to Lu Chen’s face, yet the assassin ended up only executing a task to poison Lu Chen, and the poison was merely one that rendered Lu Chen impotent.

Wenren Ce couldn’t understand, would it have been so difficult for the assassin to just strike Lu Chen dead with one blow?

At this moment, Zhou Jin spoke: "Because Lu Chen has a trace of Dragon Qi on him, and in the Capital District, with this trace of Dragon Qi protecting him, it’s hard for anyone to kill him unless they are from the royal family."

Upon hearing Zhou Jin’s words, everyone in the hall was taken aback. Dragon Qi?

How could Lu Chen, the heir of Prince Zhen Nan, possess Dragon Qi? Isn’t Dragon Qi supposed to be on Emperor Zhou?

Not everyone knew about Prince Zhen Nan having Dragon Qi, and even fewer knew about Lu Chen possessing it. Zhou Jin only found out recently.

Zhou Jin continued, "Lu Chen was thrown from the sky by evil spirits and didn’t die, nor was he torn apart by them, all because of that trace of Dragon Qi protecting him."

Hearing this, Wenren Ce clenched his fists, saying with some reluctance, "If he stays in the Capital District, then we can’t do anything to him?"

Zhou Jin replied calmly, "Revenge should not be rushed. I’m more curious about how Lu Chen became a Spirit Martial Artist and how he broke through to the Mortal Realm overnight."

The Spirit Martial Artists of the assassin organization consume a lot of resources, and even though Blood Cloud Tower abducts children from all over for training each year, the growth cycle is too long starting from childhood.

If ordinary people can directly become Spirit Martial Artists and Blood Cloud Tower learns this method, then they could surely grow rapidly in a short time.

Wenren Ce commented, "For what reason else could it be? Perhaps Prince Zhen Nan’s estate hid from the start that Lu Chen was a Spirit Martial Artist, making people think he was just an ordinary person."

Zhou Jin tapped his fingers on the bone armrest, seemingly pondering something.

After a while, Zhou Jin spoke again, "There is no reason for Prince Zhen Nan to do such a thing. Whether Lu Chen is ordinary or a Spirit Martial Artist, the Great Zhou Royal Family would cause the demise of Zhen Nan Prince Manor. It’s just a matter of time."

Wenren Ce replied, "If there really exists a method in Prince Zhen Nan Manor to turn ordinary people into Spirit Martial Artists, then why did they release spies and servants who saw Lu Chen emitting Spirit Evil Qi? Are they not afraid of attracting covetous eyes from all parties?"

Zhou Jin said, "This is also what confuses me."

Zhou Jin felt like Prince Zhen Nan Manor was plotting something.

Wenren Ce asked, "Tower Master, should we send someone to infiltrate Prince Zhen Nan Manor to find out the method of turning ordinary people into Spirit Martial Artists?"

"It’s said that Lu Chen uses a magic known as the Person Recognition Skill; our people might get discovered by Lu Chen in less than a day if they infiltrate." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Zhou Jin didn’t respond to Wenren Ce’s words and fell into a long silence. At this point, the entire hall quieted down. The elders of Blood Cloud Tower all looked up at Zhou Jin, trying to see what their Tower Master planned to do next.

After a long time, Zhou Jin finally spoke, "Try to bribe the servants of Prince Zhen Nan Manor to investigate the situation inside, but ensure they don’t notice that you’re extracting information from them."

Zhou Jin wasn’t sure if the Person Recognition Skill was real. However, he thought of a way to bypass it. They could try to extract information from the servants of Prince Zhen Nan Manor, or hypnotize them so they wouldn’t realize they had betrayed Prince Zhen Nan Manor. This way, even if Lu Chen did know the Person Recognition Skill, it might not be effective.

...

Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

The bridal chamber decorations were not yet removed, and Bai Qingqing sat on the wedding bed wearing a light cyan glass long dress.

Thinking of what happened last night and what Prince Zhen Nan said today, Bai Qingqing felt quite helpless. How did she suddenly become Lu Chen’s woman?

She still felt somewhat dazed as if it was all unreal.

After learning about Lu Chen’s actions today, her perception of Lu Chen changed greatly. However, she wasn’t sure if Lu Chen would revert to his old self once he regained his memory.

Bai Qingqing thought to herself that Lu Chen was quite nice as he was now.

As Bai Qingqing was lost in thought, the room door creaked open, and Lu Chen stepped into the room.

Seeing Lu Chen return, Bai Qingqing tensed up instantly. After the chaos of last night, would tonight be the same?

Seeing the alluring lady sitting on the bed waiting for him, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Wife, I didn’t expect you to be waiting in bed for me so soon. It seems you’re even more impatient than I am."

Hearing these words, Bai Qingqing felt her cheeks flush slightly. She wanted to escape, but remembering the task given by Prince Zhen Nan to quickly bear a child for Lu Chen, she forced herself to calm down.

At this time, Lu Chen slowly approached the bed, naturally pulling Bai Qingqing into his embrace. His wandering hands began to make Bai Qingqing feel increasingly familiar with how Lu Chen knew her body. She even started suspecting whether this guy had done something to her while she was asleep in the past.

In just a few moments, Bai Qingqing was aroused, and soon, they lay on the bed, drawing the curtains, and Lu Chen engaged Bai Qingqing in last night’s affair once again.

In the following days, Lu Chen dual-cultivated with Bai Qingqing each night. However, as he suspected, despite this, Bai Qingqing did not become pregnant with his child. He continuously felt the Spirit Evil Qi devouring his vitality, realizing Bai Qingqing’s body was indeed unsuitable for childbearing.

During these days, Lu Chen practiced the "Spirit Evil Body Refining Skill" while pondering the nature of Spirit Evil Qi.

Spirit Evil Qi consumes vitality, similar to Mysterious Power, but it also seems to contain a certain Life Force, making it a contradictory force.

Due to this contradiction, the Spirit Martial Artists in this world could cultivate by absorbing Spirit Evil Qi, or else their vitality would have been drained completely.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the pavilion, Lu Chen sat on a stone bench, eyes closed, feeling the Spirit Evil Qi in the air.

Tonight, he didn’t dual cultivate with Bai Qingqing. He wanted to see how painful it would be to absorb Spirit Evil Qi on his own without dual cultivation to relieve the pain.

In the next moment, Lu Chen started channeling his power, causing the surrounding Spirit Evil Qi to rush toward him wildly.
