Chapter 523 How do you think I should deal with you, the Emperor of the enemy state?
Hearing Lu Chen's words, and seeing the Yue Emperor held tightly by Lu Chen from behind, immobilized, the Dayue soldiers knew their cause was lost.
At this moment, the Dayue soldiers discarded their weapons one after another, then raised their hands, making a gesture of surrender.
Soon, the entire Dayue army surrendered, and even the generals chose to yield. Their mightiest Emperor had been captured by the Sum Emperor; if they continued to resist, they would meet nothing but destruction.
Moreover, the Sum Emperor had said that he would take the Yue Emperor as his Imperial Noble Consort. Even if Dayue was annihilated, as long as the Yue Emperor was alive, the people of Dayue might not become slaves.
After the army of Dayue had laid down their arms, the Daxia Army approached, and a group of military generals came before Lu Chen.
Seeing Lu Chen embrace the Yue Emperor Li Qingrou in an ambiguous manner, the generals looked at each other with uncertainty.
Lu Chen was, after all, a sovereign ruler; it was inappropriate for him to continue holding the Yue Emperor like this. However, since Lu Chen had just declared Li Qingrou to be the Imperial Noble Consort, the generals were not in a position to suggest directly stripping her of her martial arts skills. And even if they did disable Li Qingrou's martial arts, she could still take her own life if she chose to.
Lu Chen, realizing the impropriety of the situation, directly said, "Prepare the carriage; I will personally escort the Yue Emperor to the Dayue Capital City!"
Upon hearing these words, people immediately started to make preparations, and soon the carriage was ready.
Seeing the carriage before her, Li Qingrou once again attempted to struggle, but she still found herself unable to break free.
She didn't understand how Lu Chen achieved this—merely touching her body was enough to drain all her spiritual power. It was her first time hearing of such a technique.
Lu Chen then embraced Li Qingrou's body and directly entered the carriage, and the next moment, the horns sounded to advance, as the Daxia Army, escorting the soldiers of Dayue, continued their march towards the capital of Dayue.
After Lu Chen brought Li Qingrou into the carriage, he had her sit directly on his lap. Li Qingrou's Phoenix Robe was already somewhat tattered at this point, revealing her fair thighs.
At that moment, a faint fragrance from Li Qingrou drifted into Lu Chen's nostrils, instantly stirring him.
Sensing Lu Chen's change, Li Qingrou coldly said, "The Sum Emperor truly is a lecherous man!"
Lu Chen, smiling, replied, "I have never denied being a lecherous man."
Hearing this from Lu Chen, Li Qingrou was completely helpless. She couldn't escape his grasp, and with all her spiritual power sealed, she would be powerless if he decided to dishonor her in the carriage.
Li Qingrou suddenly thought of something, then said, "You obtained Junwan's body in the same way, didn't you?"
Lu Chen answered indifferently, "My relationship with Junwan is true love; I don't need to resort to such methods."
Li Qingrou scoffed, then said, "Do you think I would believe that?"
"It seems that is how Junwan was defiled by you, so she had no choice but to become your woman."
Although Li Qingrou did not know what method Lu Chen used, she was certain he must have employed it on countless women, including Wu Junwan.
Once the martial skills of a female warrior were sealed, Lu Chen could do whatever he pleased with them.
Li Qingrou continued, "What do you plan to do with me?"
Lu Chen answered, "Didn't I already say? I will make you my Imperial Noble Consort, and you will bear my children."
Li Qianrou immediately said, "I walk the Unfeeling Tao. To think I would bear children for you, you are delusional!"
"Even if I truly became pregnant with your child, I would personally see to its end!"
Li Qianrou had no intention of becoming Lu Chen's woman; she had once been a ruler of a nation, after all. How could she accept such humiliation? Even in death, she would not become Lu Chen's woman.
After hearing Li Qianrou's words, Lu Chen said indifferently, "It's normal for you to have such thoughts now. Wait until you meet Junwan. You'll find she had the same thoughts initially, but now she is carrying my child."
Li Qianrou's heart skipped a beat, her Liumei brows furrowing slightly.
"As a ruler of a nation, to be enthralled by lust for women, even if you unite the world, one day Great Sum will fall by your hand." Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire
Hearing Li Qianrou's words, Lu Chen said, unconcerned, "I am merely fond of beauty, not a muddled ruler. I would never let my indulgence in beauty delay my responsibilities."
"Now, there are so many beauties in my harem, yet it still hasn't affected my campaign against Great Jue."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qianrou always felt some discomfort in her heart.
She diligently governed Great Jue, ensuring a stable life for its citizens, and even annexed the Barbarian Tribe. In the end, she lost to such a lecherous man, which to her, was an utter and great humiliation.
But now she was captured by Lu Chen and had no way to end her own life.
The thought of being violated by this man made her feel worse than death itself.
Lu Chen did not care what Li Qianrou was thinking. On the way to Dayue Capital City, he held Li Qianrou the entire trip. In the Pseudo-Celestial Realm, it was no problem not to eat, drink, or relieve oneself for ten days to half a month.
Meanwhile, the Dayue Army that set out to intercept the Black Dragon Country's forces also suffered a defeat. Although the Dayue Army could employ battle arrays, they posed little threat to Liu Zhengchu, an experienced Celestial.
Liu Zhengchu led the Black Dragon Country's forces and swiftly broke through the Dayue Army's defenses.
After more than ten days, Liu Zhengchu's Black Dragon Country forces formally joined up with the Daxia Army outside Great Jue's Capital City.
Upon hearing of the Yue Emperor's defeat and the siege by the Great Sum Army, the officials and nobles within Great Jue Capital City were so frightened that they hurriedly came out to surrender, and with that, Great Jue was officially conquered.
While accepting the surrender, Lu Chen and Li Qianrou both sat inside a carriage; it was Great Sum's Military Generals who received the surrender letters.
Hearing the servile words of Great Jue's ministers, Li Qianrou felt a deep pain in her heart. The nation that her father had managed to establish, under her rule, had not lasted a hundred years before it fell.
After the surrender ceremony concluded, Lu Chen had the carriage brought into the Imperial Palace.
As the carriage entered the Imperial Palace, Lu Chen held Li Qianrou as they alighted. Looking at the Jinluan Hall before them, Lu Chen whispered in Li Qianrou's ear, "What do you think? I said I wouldn't let you die, and I meant it."
Li Qianrou replied coldly, "Now that Great Jue has fallen, what's the point of bringing me here?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "To me, you are the emperor of the enemy country. Now that the enemy country has been conquered by me, what do you think I should do with you, the emperor of the enemy nation?"
Hearing this, Li Qianrou seemed to realize something, her face turning pale instantly. Then, she once again tried to mobilize the spiritual power within her body.
