Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1082 - 772: Nanyan, have you missed me recently?
Lu Chen had been thinking that since Yun Xianxian had initiated contact a few months ago, all he needed to do was to hold her and whisper sweet nothings to let her off the hook, but she actually called herself his Furnace Cauldron.
He couldn’t tolerate that, and in the following time, Lu Chen let Yun Xianxian realize who was whose Furnace Cauldron.
Ultimately, Yun Xianxian was the one to give in, submitting to the tyrant Lu Chen, pleading for mercy and willing to admit that she was his Furnace Cauldron.
This also made Lu Chen understand one thing: If you don’t want others to know what you are doing, don’t do it yourself.

Moreover, his wives and concubines were smarter than he had thought; perhaps only Zhou Youyou and Xiao Wenyao were a bit dumber and unaware of this matter, but the rest had probably discovered the secret of the Dragon Phoenix Tree long ago. They had kept it hidden in their hearts, pretending to know nothing.
Lu Chen decided to find a time to return to Yancheng Imperial Palace and try to pry some words from his wives and concubines, to see if they really knew everything.
Months flashed by in the blink of an eye.
Ziyang World, Black Moon City.
Now Black Moon City had become much more prosperous, with more and more Loose Cultivators willing to do business there.
Lu Chen’s deeds had spread far and wide; people knew that Black Moon City housed someone who could suppress Demonic Qi and effortlessly slay Myriad Laws Realm Demon Envoys. Although Black Moon City was next to the Demon Sealing Forbidden Zone, most cultivators still considered Black Moon City safer until the Heavenly Demon broke the seal.
Now that even Myriad Laws Realm Demon Envoys had appeared, there was no telling how many Demon Cultivators within the Great Chu Dynasty or the entire Ziyang World were getting ready to make their move. Who could be sure there was only one Myriad Laws Realm Demon Cultivator?
What if other Myriad Laws Realm Demon Cultivators were out there?
At this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion.
The current City Lord’s Mansion was filled with chirping birds and fragrant flowers, grand and majestic. The entire City Lord’s Mansion underwent renovations during this period, occupying a larger area and becoming even more magnificent.
Now, the City Lord’s Mansion was not just the City Lord’s Mansion; it was also the Northern Town King’s Mansion. Lu Chen’s status and position had surpassed Ji Qiuyu’s; he was the one calling the shots in Black Moon City.
Of course, Lu Chen didn’t like to manage things. His territories were still being managed by Ji Qiuyu, and his puppet spent most of its time lying in the room. He would only occasionally control it to go out for inspections.
His real body was dealing with Yun Xianxian, and after sorting her out, he planned to return to Yancheng to catch up with his women. He was quite busy indeed.
Lu Chen would occasionally reflect that without the external system’s assistance, he might indeed have become a negligent ruler.
Indulging in female company every day, yet managing Tianchen World in an orderly fashion was one of the perks of absolute power.
The puppet Lu Chen stood in the pavilion, watching the fish swim back and forth in the pond when Ji Qiuyu’s voice came from behind him, "Your Highness sure is leisurely, spending your days in the mansion either sleeping or watching fish."
Ji Qiuyu’s tone held a hint of complaint. Ever since Lu Chen became the Northern Town King, he had dumped all his territorial affairs on her.
Although she had years of experience managing Black Moon City, Lu Chen’s territories were much bigger. Suddenly owning so much land, her workload had increased by more than tenfold, keeping her extremely busy every day.
However, Lu Chen, the Northern Town King, was a different story. Aside from the occasional inspection, he rarely left the City Lord’s Mansion.
It was as if he was not the Northern Town King, but rather Ji Qiuyu was.
Lu Chen turned to look at Ji Qiuyu, who was wearing a pink dress, and said with a smile, "My real body has been recently…"
Before Lu Chen could finish, Ji Qiuyu interrupted, "Your real body is about to have another breakthrough, right?"
Lu Chen chuckled, "How did you know?"
Ji Qiuyu curled her lip, "You’ve said that how many times now."
Ji Qiuyu began to doubt whether Lu Chen’s real body was actually continuously breaking through. Although his identity seemed quite noble, as he could present Saint-grade Cultivation Techniques and likely wasn’t just anybody, breaking through so frequently seemed overly exaggerated.
Lu Chen said, "Qiuyu, in marriage, we are one. Your matters are mine, and mine are yours. I appreciate your handling of the Northern Town King’s affairs."
Hearing Lu Chen speak of being one in marriage, Ji Qiuyu’s cheeks turned slightly pink, though she knew in her heart that Lu Chen had probably said this just to avoid managing the affairs himself. Yet, her heart still fluttered at his words.
Ji Qiuyu didn’t want to dwell on this topic any longer, and she brought up another matter, "What do you plan to do with the maids sent by Zixiao Dynasty?"
Zixiao Dynasty had recently stated that Lu Chen made a great contribution to Ziyang World, so they rewarded him with quite a few cultivation resources and even sent him several beautiful maids.
Ji Qiuyu had always been hostile towards those maids. Each one of them was top-notch and extremely beautiful, making her suspect that Zixiao Dynasty was trying to win Lu Chen over with their beauty.
Although Ji Qiuyu was aware that someone like Lu Chen must have many women, seeing those maids flit around Lu Chen always made her jealous.
Following Ji Qiuyu’s remark, Lu Chen suddenly moved close to her, wrapping his arms around her delicate body, and asked in her ear, "My dear, how would you like me to deal with those maids?"
Hearing the term "my dear," Ji Qiuyu’s face reddened again, but then she remembered the Lu Chen embracing her was just a puppet, and her fluttering heart quickly calmed down.
"Since they were given to you by Your Majesty, the decision is naturally yours to make."
Lu Chen said, "If Qiuyu doesn’t like them, I’ll just send them back to the Zixiao Dynasty."
Ji Qiuyu said, "I never said that."
Lu Chen continued, "Those maids were sent by Your Majesty to watch over me."
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu was taken aback, then she asked, "Surveillance? Why?"
Lu Chen said, "With a being capable of slaying a Myriad Law Realm Demon Envoy having suddenly appeared in this world, wouldn’t you want to know who he is, and what formidable forces lie behind him?"
Ji Qiuyu realized this was true; she knew that many powers had been keeping an eye on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had looked through the identity introductions of those maids; they had only one task, which was to report all his whereabouts and everything he did each day to Nangong Yuehua.
Such a level of surveillance made Lu Chen feel that something was amiss.
His origin was indeed quite mysterious, but there was surely no need to report every minuscule daily affair.
Lu Chen began to suspect whether Nangong Yuehua had discovered something, which is why she was so guarded against him.
At that moment, Ji Qiuyu continued, "Since they are here to surveil you, it would be better to send them away, to prevent them from discovering your secrets."
Lu Chen indifferently replied, "No need, let them keep watching. After all, I’m not going to do anything."
"Sending them back now would make Nangong Yuehua suspect that I have some unspeakable secrets, which is why I’d want to send them away and prevent their surveillance."
Ji Qiuyu thought about it and then said, "I understand."
At this moment, Lu Chen was caressing Ji Qiuyu’s muslin dress, and he whispered in her ear, "Qiuyu, I feel that it will only be a few months before my true self arrives in Black Moon City. Are you prepared?"
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Qiuyu’s spiritual power became chaotic once more, and her body began to stir again.
Of course, she understood what Lu Chen meant by asking if she was prepared.
Ji Qiuyu said softly, "You… just come."
Seeing Ji Qiuyu’s blushing face, the excitement of Lu Chen’s true self surged, and Yelv Nanyan, who was beneath him, bore the brunt.
The former Sky Wolf King’s wife had now submitted to Lu Chen.
Tianchen World, Yancheng Imperial Palace.
The beautiful Yelv Nanyan looked at Lu Chen with a face full of resentment and grievance. She couldn’t understand why Lu Chen had only sought her out today; previously, when Lu Chen returned, he would always call several others, or have Xiao Wenyao come as well.
After all, Xiao Wenyao’s bedroom was right next to hers, which was quite convenient. But this time, Lu Chen suddenly appeared in her room without calling any of the sisters.
Now that Lu Chen was a Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator, how could she possibly be a match for him?
Lu Chen stroked Yelv Nanyan’s soft body and gazed into her eyes, "Nanyan, have you missed me lately?"
Yelv Nanyan replied, "This concubine has thought of Your Majesty every moment."
Lu Chen said, "Oh? Is that so?"
"Then I should relieve you of your longing."
Yelv Nanyan hastily said, "Your Majesty is busy with countless affairs. This concubine does not dare to take up too much of your time."
Seeing the panic-stricken face of the beautiful woman, Lu Chen could not be bothered to tease her any further, and he said with a smile, "All right, I’ll stop teasing you. I’ll go see the others in a bit."
Yelv Nanyan slightly relaxed.
Then Yelv Nanyan continued to ask, "Does Your Majesty have any business in Yancheng this time?"
Lu Chen had not returned for a long time, and during this period, there had been rumors that the Tianchen World was invaded by enemies from other worlds. The wives and concubines of Lu Chen were very worried about him.
Lu Chen’s sudden return, without summoning his wives and concubines immediately but instead coming to dominate her, suggested that Lu Chen probably didn’t want too many people to know he was back, so he must have something to deal with; that’s why he did not make a big deal of it.
Evidently, Yelv Nanyan was overthinking things. Lu Chen had simply remembered the voluptuous body of Yelv Nanyan and hence came to her directly to start off, and then to probe her for information to see if she knew anything about the Dragon Phoenix Tree.
Lu Chen flipped Yelv Nanyan over, had her back facing him, and then pressed down again, whispering in her ear, "Actually, there’s nothing important. I just came back to see all of you."
Yelv Nanyan let out a murmur and asked, "Then why doesn’t Your Majesty tell the other sisters?"
Lu Chen said, "There’s no need to make a big fuss every time I return. For me, traveling from Black Dragon City to Yan County is just a blink of an eye, it’s not like I went to some distant place."
While saying this and concurrently moving, Lu Chen asked, "Nanyan, have you encountered any problems in your cultivation lately?"
