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

Time passed day by day, autumn gave way to winter, and winter to spring, and the preparation work for the capital relocation to Yan County was basically completed. Everything was ready, and it only awaited an auspicious day to proceed.

During this near half-year period, the Sunset Sword Sect had not been able to find the hiding place of the Taiyin Divine Sect, and at most had just eliminated some of the lower-ranked members of the Sect.

Just as Xue Linglong had said, the Leader of the Taiyin Sect was a very cautious person; the core members of the Taiyin Divine Sect had almost never come out to cause havoc, as if they had vanished from the world.

Lu Chen had long been prepared for this, so he did not pay too much attention to it. Right now, he just wanted to unite the world as soon as possible and elevate his Cultivation State to the Celestial Realm.

In the recent half year, Xue Linglong and Bai Qingqing were worn out, as only the two of them stayed by Lu Chen's side. Lu Chen had also followed his ministers' advice and conducted a selection of consorts. However, after choosing for some time, he had not seen a single lady who scored ninety or above.

Lu Chen even suspected there was some issue with the system. With so many beautiful women of noble families in the Capital city, not finding a single one with a score of ninety or above was indeed hard to explain.

Lu Chen even questioned the system whether it was doing this on purpose, but the system replied that this was a normal occurrence.

Later on, Lu Chen gradually discovered what was going on; it turned out that the women who scored higher than ninety all had special attributes to their bodies, not just beautiful appearances.

Having no other choice, Lu Chen focused his attention on Bai Qingqing and Xue Linglong, hoping to have them bear his children.

As a result, both of them had to attend to Lu Chen every day. Especially the Demon Sect Sorceress Xue Linglong, Lu Chen did not hold back with her at all, and yet as of now, she had not become pregnant.

Lu Chen had come to terms with it by now. If she couldn't conceive, then so be it. He did not need to be overly obsessed about it. Thankfully, before he traveled south, he had gotten Qin Yuwei pregnant with his child.

Once Qin Yuwei's child was born, he should be able to gain another power. With that, uniting the world would be even easier for him.

After more than half a year of governance, Great Sum had stabilized, and the transfer of land ownership was essentially complete. Now, all land was nominally owned by Emperor Lu Chen.

Of course, this was just a legal formality regarding land ownership, and the buying and selling of land were not completely forbidden. Moreover, if the state needed to requisition land, they would still offer a certain compensation.

With internal stability achieved, Lu Chen had only two significant matters left: the relocation of the capital and the destruction of the various dynasties.

The date for the capital relocation was soon set.

In the Imperial Palace of Great Sum, Imperial Study Room.

Lu Chen was dealing with memorials when Bai Qingqing's voice reached him, "Your Majesty, Grand Scholar Xuanyuan requests an audience."

Lu Chen said, "Let him in."

Xuanyuan Chaoge then entered the Imperial Study Room, "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Dispense with the formalities."

"Grand Scholar Xuanyuan, I plan to leave you in charge of the six ministries of the Capital city in my stead. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Currently, Great Sum had two Grand Scholars, one was Zhuge Zhongguang, the other was Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Although both held the title of Grand Scholar, there was a difference in their statuses. Zhuge Zhongguang was the Grand Scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, while Xuanyuan Chaoge was the Grand Scholar of the Military Pavilion.

The two systems they belonged to were different, but Lu Chen needed someone trustworthy to oversee the officials in the Capital city to prevent them from causing trouble; Xuanyuan Chaoge was very suitable for this role.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Chaoge was a Celestial, and with a Celestial present, the officials of the Capital city would not dare to step out of line.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately replied, "This subject will not let Your Majesty down."

Xuanyuan Chaoge was also aware of the significance of the six ministries of the Capital city. Although their powers would diminish over time, at this stage with so many officials, if they were not watched over, it was very likely they might collude behind the scenes and commit acts detrimental to Great Sum.

Lu Chen continued, "Then I'll trouble you, Grand Scholar Xuanyuan. The telegraph has been invented, and it will soon be operational. If there are any issues in the Capital city in the future, report it to me through the telegraph."

Xuanyuan Chaoge replied, "As Your Majesty commands."

...

After determining the people who would stay behind in the Capital city, the relocation work began early the next morning.

Before the transition, many ministers' families had already moved to Yan County, so the relocation was relatively swift.

Half a month later.

Yan County.

Today Yan County was teeming with people; nearly all the residents had come out to welcome them.

Now that Yan County had become the Capital city, the lives of its residents would get even better. Even if those people did nothing, the price of the houses they had bought before would immediately skyrocket.

Not just the new city, but the Old Yan City too had seen its land prices rising rapidly; the people of Yan County had become wealthy one after another.

All this they owed to Lu Chen, and so the people of Yan County only had gratitude for their new Emperor.

Soon, the sound of the train "woo-ing" could be heard in the distance. The new city was a bit away from the train station, but once they heard the train's sound, everyone realized the Emperor was about to arrive and the city gates quickly became quiet.

Before long, a luxurious carriage arrived from afar, and inside sat Lu Chen.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan, along with a group of concubines, stood quietly at the entrance of the new Imperial Palace, waiting for Lu Chen's return.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Chen was very eager in his heart; he had not seen his concubines for quite a long time and missed them dearly.

At the same time, Xue Linglong sitting in another carriage used a delicate handkerchief to wipe away nonexistent tears, muttering to herself, "I have finally returned to Yan County..."

During her time in the Capital city, she had to attend to Lu Chen almost daily, and even though she had fallen from grace, she could not endure it any longer.

Lu Chen knew how to heal with Immortal Technique; she rarely felt discomfort, but the constant stimulation had significantly slowed her brain functions.

Moreover, she realized she was increasingly acting like a female slave, involuntarily lifting her hips every time she saw Lu Chen.

Now that she was back, Lu Chen's concubines had been waiting for him in Yan County for nearly a year. They probably couldn't contain themselves any longer, and with them around, Lu Chen definitely wouldn't come to find her for a long time.

Now at least she could finally rest properly for a while.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong felt exceedingly happy deep down. Back when she was in the Taiyin Divine Sect, she would've never dreamt that she, a Demon Sect Sorceress, would have a day like today.

Other Demon Sect Sorceresses went to drain those men, using the men's Yang energy for cultivation, but she, a Demon Sect Sorceress, ended up under a man's control, repeatedly tormented by Lu Chen, the devil.

At this thought, Xue Linglong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering what kind of Demon Sect Sorceress she really was.

The carriage carrying Lu Chen quickly approached the gates of the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace had been expanded from the original foundations of the North Prince Mansion. When the North Prince Mansion was being built, enough land had been reserved for future expansion, and at that time Lu Chen was already considering the relocation.

Having arrived at the gates of the Imperial Palace, Lu Chen stepped out of the carriage, and Mu Zixuan and the others immediately performed a bow and said, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty."

Lu Chen had become the supreme ruler and was no longer the Seignior of the past. Although deep inside, they missed him dearly and wanted to rush over to embrace him, they still restrained their inner urges.

Seeing that Mu Zixuan and Chu Yuqin didn't come over to embrace him, Lu Chen instantly understood what they were worried about.

Lu Chen then said with a smile, "My ladies, I have returned."

With that, Lu Chen walked straight up to Mu Zixuan, and before she could say anything, he embraced Mu Zixuan and Chu Yuqin who was next to her.

Lu Chen continued, "Although I am now the Emperor, I am still your darling, and I'm very disappointed that you treated me so coldly."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately crowded around, engulfing him in their midst.

In their hearts, they had also been worried that Lu Chen, becoming the Emperor, would undergo a great change in temperament, but now it seemed that their worries were unfounded.
