Chapter 533 One Day, I Will Make Him Pay the Price!

Junwan felt some self-blame in her heart. If it hadn't been for her becoming Lu Chen's woman, lured by the joy he brought her, maybe she could have still offered some help to Li Qingrou, and the Great Jue Dynasty might not have fallen so quickly.

Although she seemed neither to help Lu Chen nor Li Qingrou, from another perspective, not taking sides was actually helping Lu Chen.

Li Qingrou herself belonged to the weaker side and without anyone's help, the likelihood of defeat greatly increased.

Seeing the self-reproach in Junwan's expression, Li Qingrou couldn't help laughing out loud. Then she raised her hand, caressed Junwan's beautiful cheek, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "Junwan, don't blame yourself. Lu Chen is no ordinary man. It's not unjust that I lost to him."

"It's just a pity that I didn't kill myself immediately, which gave him the chance to capture me in the end."

In Li Qingrou's view, it was merely a matter of being out-skilled, and not having committed suicide right away, which led to her becoming an object for Lu Chen's amusement. All this had nothing to do with Junwan.

Even with Junwan's help, given Lu Chen's methods, Great Jue would probably still have been defeated in the end.

Originally, everyone thought that the strongest in Great Sum were those few Celestials. Unexpectedly, the strongest turned out to be Lu Chen, especially because of the Spiritual Artifact in his possession.

With such an earth-shattering Spiritual Artifact, Great Jue never stood a chance from the beginning.

All one can say is that it was all destiny.

After a long time of being tormented by Lu Chen, Li Qingrou had now come to understand.

She took it as a Heavenly Tribulation; surviving this hardship could perhaps lead to a new change in her life.

Li Qingrou asked, "Junwan, do you intend to stay in his harem all your life, continuing to live like this?"

Facing this question, Junwan appeared somewhat bewildered. She sighed softly, then replied, "I can no longer leave him."

Junwan knew that she had completely fallen for that scoundrel. If she left him, she would definitely be obsessed with him, unable to do anything else.

Although she felt this guy was too unreliable at times, always laying on women, aside from being lecherous, he didn't seem to have any other major flaws.

Regarding Junwan's response, Li Qingrou wasn't the least bit surprised. The man indeed had some tricks. At first, she thought about committing suicide every day, but after being tormented by Lu Chen for so long, she had completely lost that idea.

Now, she instead wanted to make Lu Chen her own man.

It was normal for Junwan to be unable to leave Lu Chen.

However...

Li Qingrou still felt somewhat unwilling. This scoundrel had so many women, yet she and Junwan were merely two among his harem.

As a former Empress, Li Qingrou wasn't accustomed to sharing her with others, though sharing him with Junwan wasn't a problem.

Aside from Junwan, having other women share the same husband made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even if she could not withstand Lu Chen's favor, her possessiveness and pride made the idea of sharing a husband with others especially difficult to bear.

At this moment, Junwan looked at Li Qingrou and asked, "Qianrou, you're not planning to escape from Yan County, are you?"

Li Qianrou smiled slightly and then said, "If we are to go, we'll go together; I can't possibly leave with you here."

"Since coming back from the Misty World, we've been living separately. Now we can finally be together, and I never want to be parted from you again."

Upon hearing Li Qianrou's words, Wu Junwan felt a warmth inside her. Li Qianrou continued, "I just feel that sharing a husband with so many women is somewhat hard to bear at heart."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan was startled and quickly raised her hand to cover Li Qianrou's mouth, stopping her from saying more.

Wu Junwan cautioned, "Qianrou, you must never think this way!"

Women who tried to monopolize Lu Chen had all been "severely punished" by him in the end, which made Wu Junwan's legs tremble uncontrollably as she remembered her past experiences.

Li Qianrou looked at Wu Junwan with confusion. Wu Junwan continued, "You have been with him for so long; you should know he is special. He's not an ordinary man. If he had only one or two wives or concubines, those one or two women absolutely could not bear his favoritism."

"Moreover, once he knows you are thinking this way, it is very likely that he would visit your room every night for the next few months."

This…

Li Qianrou seemed to understand something and then asked, "Is that scoundrel the reason your temperament has been worn down?"

Wu Junwan was also a proud woman, and she and Li Qianrou were cut from the same cloth. Ideally, she also wouldn't want to share a husband with so many women.

When Li Qianrou first received Wu Junwan's letter in Dayue, she was very curious. She couldn't understand why Wu Junwan eventually chose such a lascivious man.

Now thinking about it, it was probably because Lu Chen kept barging into Wu Junwan's room every night, until finally, she couldn't stand it and compromised.

Wu Junwan sighed softly and did not answer Li Qianrou's question, though Li Qianrou could tell from her reaction.

Li Qianrou then hugged Wu Junwan's waist tightly, angerily saying, "This bastard, how dare he treat my woman like this? Someday, I will make him pay."

Although Li Qianrou said this, she herself had fallen into Lu Chen's hands, so how could she make him pay?

The two beautiful ladies embraced each other, chatting for who knows how long, until a beautifully dressed woman in black-edged white clothing appeared at the palace doorway.

The sudden appearance of this figure immediately caught Li Qianrou's attention. Seeing that the newcomer was Murong Xue'er, Li Qianrou's expression instantly darkened.

Li Qianrou immediately released Wu Junwan and then raised her hand. In the next moment, a powerful suction force pulled Murong Xue'er's body directly in front of Li Qianrou. Li Qianrou grabbed her by the neck and coldly said, "Your Majesty said, how dare you betray me? It seems you've already found a backer!"

Even though Murong Xue'er now had Lu Chen as a backer, she was still extremely fearful in her heart.

Murong Xue'er struggled to say, "Greetings, Your Majesty, the Empress!"

Seeing Li Qianrou choking Murong Xue'er, Wu Junwan quickly said, "Qianrou, Murong Xue'er is now Lu Chen's woman. You can't treat her as a servant anymore. If Lu Chen finds out you treated her this way, he will definitely punish you." Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

Although Murong Xue'er often bickered with Wu Junwan, it was precisely because of Murong Xue'er's presence that Wu Junwan didn't feel as lonely when she came to Yan County.

Furthermore, Murong Xue'er and she lived in the same palace. She drew a lot of Lu Chen's attention away from Wu Junwan, and through this, they had become good friends.

After hearing Wu Junwan's words, Li Qianrou finally released Murong Xue'er's neck.
