NOVEL NEXT Chapter 556 I was Forced
Wu Junwan thought to herself that since Lu Chen could set up an array capable of withstanding the strength of someone from the Yin-Yang Realm and also possessed an Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact that could kill a Celestial of the Heavenly Human Realm, if their Honored Master truly arrived, she might not actually be a match for Lu Chen.
Furthermore, until now, no one knew what the conditions were for Lu Chen's ascension to Celestial status. Who could say whether Lu Chen might not have already made the breakthrough before the restrictions of the Misty World faded away?
Lu Chen, currently a Pseudo Celestial, already possessed the power to contend with Celestials. If he were to truly ascend, then surpassing his own realm to battle the strong from the Yin-Yang Realm would not be out of the question.
With this thought, Wu Junwan felt a slight relief in her heart.
At this moment, Wu Junwan said, "Once the restrictions of the Misty World disappear, considering the character of the Misty Immortal Sect Master, it is quite possible that she will choose to take over this world. I'm afraid there will be a great battle then."
As her voice fell, the brows Wu Junwan had just relaxed furrowed once again.
The reason they had chosen to leave the Misty Immortal Sect and return to this world was also largely because they could not accept the way the sect conducted its affairs.
Their Honored Master was good to them, but the Misty Immortal Sect was too domineering. Whoever opposed them was dealt with directly, and none of the powers surrounding the Misty Immortal Sect dared to say no to them.
Although Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou, after gaining power, did not have much psychological burden regarding killing, the way the Misty Immortal Sect killed was completely different from theirs. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
Wu Junwan and Li Qingrou usually killed for some political purpose, while the Misty Immortal Sect often harmed the innocent, wiping out someone's entire sect on a whim and harboring a heavy intent to kill.
It was for this reason that the Misty Immortal Sect had many enemies in the Misty World, and it was not easy for the disciples of the sect there.
Many forces only superficially submitted to the Misty Immortal Sect while often targeting the sect's disciples behind the scenes.
Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan had themselves been pursued and attempted to be killed several times by the disciples of other sects' forces.
Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were both weary of living that kind of life in the Misty World, so when the restriction in the Misty World began to lessen, they asked their Honored Master to send them back.
After hearing Wu Junwan's words, Li Qingrou laughed softly and then caressed Wu Junwan's face as she gazed into her beautiful eyes, "Junwan, you're not actually worried about that man, are you?"
"A few days ago, I was thinking maybe you had to stay by his side because the conditions for your breakthrough to Celestial status had something to do with him, but now I see that you seem to have truly developed feelings for him."
"I really don't know what's so good about that man, for you to be so hung up on him."
Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Wu Junwan also revealed a hint of a smile and then teased her, "Qingrou, don't you know what's good about him? Just the other day, I heard someone calling 'darling, darling' nonstop."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrou's heart skipped a beat and the next moment her smile froze, "Junwan, you're not unaware of that scoundrel's manipulative methods, I was coerced."
Wu Junwan laughed again and then said, "Qingrou, whether you were coerced or not, am I not able to tell?"
Li Qingrou spoke up, "Junwan, if you keep on talking, I'm going to get angry."
Seeing Li Qingrou respond this way, Wu Junwan quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
At this time, Li Qingrou said, "Junwan, have you ever suspected that scoundrel is actually a Demonic Cultivator?"
Normally, a regular person would not focus all their energy on matters between men and women, only those practicing the Yin-Yang Balance Demonic Cultivation Technique would do such things.
Most crucially, Lu Chen's methods of dealing with people are indeed numerous, and he tortures people for a very long time, not at all seeming like a good person.
Hearing Li Qingrou's question, Wu Junwan said, "Qingrou, if he really were a Demonic Cultivator, with his abilities, you'd probably have been drained by him to the point of being unable to get out of bed by now."
If Lu Chen truly engaged in Yin-Yang Balance, considering the time he spent doing so, who knows how many women in Lu Chen's harem would have died.
Now, not only have Lu Chen's wives and concubines not died, but each of them is glowing with health and beauty, becoming younger and more vigorous. Clearly, this is not the aftermath of being drained.
On the contrary, because of Lu Chen, they have gained quite a few benefits. Their strength has increased, lingering injuries have healed, and they have become even more beautiful.
Li Qingrou naturally understood this, but she still harbored doubts.
How could there be such a generous man in this world? They have received benefits, so it's possible that Lu Chen has paid a price. He couldn't possibly engage in such activities all night without any cost, could he?
As a cultivator, to indulge in such matters at the expense of one's own body, draining one's vitality, seemed unbelievable to Li Qingrou.
Seeing Li Qingrou still doubting Lu Chen, Wu Junwan continued, "Qingrou, stop overthinking it."
"When you were in the Misty Immortal Sect, you must have heard that there are cultivation techniques in this world that allow for dual cultivation between a man and a woman. The Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill is obviously such a Dual Cultivation Technique. Perhaps this technique brings only benefits to both parties, without any drawbacks."
Seeing Wu Junwan so trusting of Lu Chen, Li Qingrou didn't pursue the topic any further, "Perhaps."
Just then, a voice arose at the entrance of the courtyard, "Qingrou, you've been my woman for so long, how can you still think so poorly of me?"
Upon hearing that voice, Li Qingrou's delicate body trembled; that man had come again.
The two ladies then turned their heads towards the direction of the voice, and there was Lu Chen, clad in a black gold dragon robe, leisurely walking towards them.
Wu Junwan promptly got up to pay her respects, "Your Majesty!"
While Wu Junwan paid her respects, Li Qingrou remained unmoved, but Lu Chen didn't seem to mind. Even if Li Qingrou didn't pay her respects, and even if none of his wives and concubines did, it wouldn't bother him.
On the contrary, having his wives and concubines pay their respects made Lu Chen wonder if they really considered him their darling.
Lu Chen then approached Wu Junwan, gently touched her shoulder, and said, "Rise."
"Junwan, your belly is getting bigger day by day. Don't keep paying respects like this; what if our child is harmed?"
As he said this, Lu Chen also glanced unintentionally at Li Qingrou, who noticed his gaze and her expression instantly turned icy cold.
What was this man looking at her for? Could it be that he wanted to get her pregnant as well?
At this moment, Wu Junwan directly asked, "What brings you here today, Your Majesty?"
Lu Chen would usually come at night. Coming this early, he must be looking for them for something.
Looking at Li Qingrou, Lu Chen said, "Hmm, I have something to discuss with Qingrou."
Li Qingrou asked, "May I know what matters Your Majesty has to discuss with I?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's change locations."
Having said that, Lu Chen patted Wu Junwan's belly again, then told her, "Junwan, Qingrou and I will go back to the room first."
Wu Junwan responded, "Mm, alright."
The next moment, Lu Chen grabbed Li Qingrou's fair jade arm, and immediately, they both disappeared from the spot.
