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

Chapter 530 After all, you've enjoyed what you should have.

Since his arrival in Dayue Capital City, Lu Chen and Li Qianrou had hardly ever left the Jinluan Hall, to the extent that even Li Qianrou's Phoenix Bed had been moved to the Jinluan Hall by Lu Chen.

Under Lu Chen's dominance, even though Li Qianrou was once a very strong-willed Empress, she had now become incredibly weak.

In this period, Lu Chen wasn't entirely neglecting state affairs, but even when he dealt with them, he did so while embracing Li Qianrou, appearing now as if he were bewitched by a calamity-bringing bitch.

Of course, the soldiers of Great Sum didn't see anything wrong with that after all. Li Qianrou was a very powerful individual, and without Lu Chen keeping her in check, even a Celestial might have had a hard time keeping an eye on her.

After all, Li Qianrou was now their Majesty's woman, so it was no problem for their Majesty to keep her in his embrace constantly.

The soldiers of Great Sum not only didn't see it as a big problem, they actually took it as a matter of pride, since even the Empress of Great Jue had been conquered by their Majesty.

After an absurd month in Dayue's Jinluan Hall, most matters of Dayue were almost dealt with, so Lu Chen left Black Dragon Country's troops to guard Dayue while he himself prepared to lead Great Sum's troops back to Yan County.

Inside the Jinluan Hall, smoke curled, and fragrance filled the air.

At this moment, Lu Chen was embracing the soft, delicate body of the beautiful Li Qianrou, lying on the Phoenix Chair, with his hands roaming over her body, and occasionally blowing in her ear.

At this time, the beautiful woman's face was emotionless, but a blush tinged her exquisite features, with sweat beads trickling down her white, smooth forehead.

It was obvious what they had just done.

Lu Chen then said, "We will be setting off for Yan County tomorrow. You must be very much looking forward to seeing Junwan, aren't you?"

Li Qianrou didn't respond to Lu Chen's words. Over the past few days, she couldn't be bothered with whatever he said.

She now felt like she had become no more than a plaything for Lu Chen, solely for satisfying his lusts, despite being an Emperor of a dynasty, and now she had fallen so low.

What's more, she was still a Celestial now, in front of a Pseudo Celestial, she not only lacked any power to resist but was instead only subjected to his advances, which left her feeling quite resentful inside.

Now, except for when Lu Chen touched her and she would make some noises, for the rest of the time, she remained silent.

This guy might as well just kill her!

She would never show him a good face, that's for sure!

Even as a dethroned Emperor, she still had the dignity of one!

Seeing that Li Qianrou didn't speak, Lu Chen did not get angry. He continued, "Junwan will definitely be very happy to see you."

"Once we return to Yan County, I will give you your freedom."

Upon hearing this, Li Qianrou scoffed, "You think I would believe your lies?"

She was a Celestial, after all. If Lu Chen were to set her free, besides running away, she might well turn Yan County upside down.

And Yan County was where Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children lived; he couldn't possibly let her go without worries.

This man had even taken to doing that something while handling state affairs, keeping her in his embraces.

Li Qianrou couldn't understand men like Lu Chen. She still couldn't figure out what made this lascivious man so appealing and how he had managed to gain so much support from other Celestials; was it really all just due to his background?

She had never heard of anyone who, when not locking something, still left the key in the lock.

Seeing that Li Qianrou didn't believe his words, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't believe me? Junwan used to not believe my words either. Now she leaves the Imperial Palace every day to run around Yan County."

Li Qingrou said, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill your wife, concubines, and children?"

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "I still have confidence in you."

Li Qingrou coldly asked, "I'm quite curious, where does this confidence come from, thinking that a person whose body you've forcefully occupied won't hold a grudge against you?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "If it were someone else, they might hate me, but you are different."

Li Qingrou inquired, "Please do tell, I would like to hear what makes me different from the other women."

Lu Chen answered, "After performing the duties of husband and wife with me, you broke through and became a Celestial."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou asked, "Is that all?"

Lu Chen continued, "In this world, to become a Celestial, one must go through the trials of the Heavenly Dao."

"And the trials of the Heavenly Dao are closely related to one's personal experiences."

"You couldn't become a Celestial before because you cultivated the Unfeeling Dao, and the condition for your breakthrough was that the man you fancy defeated you in person and took possession of your body. Because of the Unfeeling Dao, you always thought you didn't fancy anyone, but in reality, you've always had feelings for me."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou's eyebrows knitted slightly, and she said coldly, "How ridiculous. I became a Celestial by my own strength; what does that have to do with you!"

Li Qingrou was no fool; of course, she knew that her breakthrough was largely related to Lu Chen, but as a proud woman, how could she possibly admit such a thing.

The condition for her to become a Celestial was to be defeated and conquered by a man stronger than her. How would others look at her if such a condition were known? Where would her dignity stand?

A proud woman, secretly hoping for a strong man to defeat her and subject her to humiliation—that's just disgraceful.

Anyway, Li Qingrou couldn't accept such a version of herself, so she would never admit what Lu Chen said.

Seeing Li Qingrou stubbornly denying it, Lu Chen chuckled, "Whether or not that's the condition for you to become a Celestial, you know very well in your heart."

At that moment, Li Qingrou said, "If you dare to release me, you will bear the consequences for whatever happens next."

"I advise you better kill me, since you've had your fun anyway. With your abilities, the beautiful women of this world will all be at your disposal, and you won't be lacking one more without me."

Hearing this, Lu Chen tightened his arms, pulling Li Qingrou's soft body close, "Look at what you're saying. Are you speaking out of anger? I'm not the kind of man who walks away without taking responsibility after pulling up his pants."

"My Qingrou is so beautiful and outstanding. How can those garish floozies out there compare to you?"

As he finished speaking, Lu Chen blew gently by Li Qingrou's ear and then lifted his right hand, slowly tracing her pale neck with his fingertips, feeling her delicate and smooth skin.

"Do you think I'm the kind of woman who likes to hear sweet nothings?"

Li Qingrou, as an Empress who once held great power, was very rational at heart and had never been fond of men's sweet nothings.

Thinking sweet words alone could win her over was utterly impossible.

Lu Chen said, "I'm a straightforward person and don't like sweet talk; what I say is the truth."

Li Qingrou let out a cold laugh and then fell silent again, not continuing the conversation.

Just then, a maid at the door said, "Your Majesty, the Phoenix Robe is ready."
