Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 528 - 311 Did I Break Through Just Like That?_1
Feeling her realm break through to the Master Realm, Chu Yuqin was somewhat bewildered.
Was that a breakthrough just now?
The practice session with Lu Chen couldn't have lasted more than two hours, could it?
Could the breakthrough have happened so quickly?
Is this the terrifying aspect of Immortal Law?
After sensing Chu Yuqin's breakthrough, Lu Chen immediately stood up, placing his hands on either side of her head and stared into her eyes, saying, "Madam Chu, how are you feeling now?"
Chu Yuqin's face was flushed as she, too, stared intently back into Lu Chen's eyes, "Before, did you actually never focus on your cultivation?"
Lu Chen smiled and then denied it, saying, "Madam Chu, why would you think that? I have been practicing diligently every day."
Chu Yuqin cast him a resentful glance, "Do you take me for a fool? Before, you must have focused all your attention on enjoying life, which is why your cultivation techniques were of little use to me. Today, since you focused all your attention on cultivating, that's what accelerated my training speed."
Lu Chen countered, "Madam Chu, you're mistaken. The reason you've cultivated so quickly this time is because you took the Essence Pill. Moreover, you were already on the verge of breaking through, so it may look like your realm improved exceptionally fast. An average person would simply not achieve such an effect."
Lu Chen certainly didn't want to be supervised by Chu Yuqin in his cultivation whenever he would come seeking her company in the future.
If Chu Yuqin were to discover that he had never earnestly practiced before, then the next time he came to her, she'd surely expect him to concentrate fully on cultivation.
Hearing Lu Chen's retort, Chu Yuqin stared straight into his eyes, trying to discern from his gaze whether he was lying.
However, seeing the brightness in Lu Chen's eyes, Chu Yuqin thought to herself that maybe she was overthinking it. Perhaps it really was the effect of the Essence Pill that made her cultivation speed so fast.
At that moment, Lu Chen said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, Madam Chu. Please take the Realm Breaking Pill."
As he spoke, Lu Chen took out the Realm Breaking Pill and handed it to Chu Yuqin.
Chu Yuqin didn't continue to object. She directly took the Realm Breaking Pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it.
Chu Yuqin's thoughts were simple: Lu Chen already had many strong protectors by his side, so he no longer needed her. However, Lu Chen wouldn't always stay in the North Prince Mansion.
As Lu Chen's strength grew stronger and the North Country's power increased, it was inevitable that the North Country would go to war with other dynasties or with Great Sum. In the future, Lu Chen would likely leave Yan County again, and it was possible that those protectors would also leave Yan County.
Thinking that she wouldn't be able to protect Lu Chen anymore, Chu Yuqin decided she would protect his wives, concubines, and children instead, since she would likely spend her days with them from now on.
If she were stronger, Lu Chen could have some peace of mind, even if he went off to lead troops into battle.
After Chu Yuqin took the pill, green Spiritual Energy quickly gathered around her body. The energy was very faint, but with the help of the Realm Breaking Pill, it was sufficient to help her break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
In the next moment, Chu Yuqin's body erupted with a wave of Spiritual Power, followed by profuse sweating as she expelled all the toxins and impurities from her body.
Chu Yuqin hurriedly sat in meditation to stabilize the power within her body.
At that time, Lu Chen stood up and simply sat on the side watching.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Chu Yuqin finally opened her eyes. She stood up to find herself drenched in sweat and quickly said to Lu Chen, "I'll go wash up."
Upon saying that, Chu Yuqin entered the room next door. The bedrooms in the new Prince's Mansion were different than before, each being adjacent to a bathroom and restroom. Whenever the master of the house visited a woman in the bedroom, the maids in the courtyard immediately began heating water to fill the baths next door, ensuring there was always hot water available in the tubs.
In an era without electricity and water heaters, only someone of Lu Chen's high status could enjoy the luxury of constant access to hot water.
After a quick rinse, Chu Yuqin submerged herself in the bath, intending to soak for a while, when Lu Chen suddenly walked in.
Seeing Lu Chen enter the bathroom unobstructed, Chu Yuqin spoke softly, "What are you doing? Go out, I'll be done soon."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "We're an old married couple. What's there to be shy about?" As he spoke, Lu Chen, with a shameless grin, waded into the bath and wrapped his arms around Chu Yuqin's waist.
Chu Yuqin was just about to warn Lu Chen about fooling around in the bathtub when he said, "Yuqin, now that you have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, the safety of the Prince's Mansion is in your hands."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin replied, "Hmm, I will take good care of the Prince's Mansion for you."
At this moment, Chu Yuqin asked, "Recently, I've noticed that Zixuan, Xiaoxiao, and Youyou seem to have cultivated some skill. That must be thanks to your Cultivation Technique, right?"
Lu Chen answered, "Yes."
Chu Yuqin said, "Ordinary people with skill can live longer. Don't just think about enjoying yourself when you visit their rooms in the future; help them raise their Realm as well."
While Lu Chen's hands roamed over Chu Yuqin's body, he said, "Don't worry, my dear. I'm always fair to my women. One day, I will help them become Grandmasters as well."
Chu Yuqin remarked at his words, "It might be difficult for ordinary people to become Grandmasters."
Lu Chen replied, "Your darling is no ordinary man."
Realizing what he meant, Chu Yuqin thought, that's right, Lu Chen was a man blessed by Immortal Law. Helping an ordinary person ascend to a higher Realm might be difficult for others, but not for him. Hadn't he helped her make the leap to the Grandmaster Realm in one go?
Chu Yuqin conceded, "That's true, then I can rest easy."
Lu Chen said, "Alright, enough of this talk. Now that you are a Grandmaster and your physical condition has improved significantly, tonight is a good time to test your enhanced Grandmaster strength from the Realm Breaking Pill."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin thought Lu Chen wanted to spar with her, but in the next moment, he pinned her against the edge of the bath, and then the bathwater stirred violently.
Meanwhile.
Chu Qingli was outside in the courtyard, cuddling Lu Chengwang, who seemed to really like her, calm and content in her arms.
Seeing Lu Chengwang smiling at her, Chu Qingli's maternal instincts surged. Suddenly, she also wanted a child of her own.
It was just unfortunate that, being a high-quality martial artist, she found it hard to conceive.
Since sharing a room with Lu Chen, she had stopped purging impurities from her body through cultivation, yet she still hadn't conceived. It's not easy to get pregnant, and in the entire Prince's Mansion, it seemed only her sister, also a martial artist, had managed it on the first try.
Chu Qingli wondered how much Chu Yuqin must've suffered under Lu Chen to bear his child and, coming to her senses, she quickly stopped her wandering thoughts.
How could she want his child!
That bad man had not only monopolized her sister but also tricked her into giving herself to him; he was a despicable villain through and through.
She didn't want to carry that bastard's child.
