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

Once the prohibitions of the Misty World disappear, the Tianchen Continent will become fish on the chopping block, and all powers of the Misty World will rush in to fight for territories. The hard-won unity of Great Xia will once again be divided.

Li Qingrou reminded Lu Chen that the Misty World holds many powers, her intentions being to tell him that Great Xia is in imminent danger, on the eve of a tumultuous upheaval.

Lu Chen was of course aware of the situation in Great Xia, but he still had confidence in himself. At that moment, Lu Chen asked, "Junwan, where does our Misty Immortal Sect rank among the powers of the Misty World?"

Wu Junwan replied, "According to what we know, Misty Immortal Sect's strength should be the strongest in the entire Misty World."

Li Qingrou said, "If you want to resist the powers of the Misty World, joining the Misty Immortal Sect is the best choice for you."

"Although I don't know what kind of power is backing you, for now, until that power behind you can intervene in this world, you joining the Misty Immortal Sect is the only way to oppose other powers of the Misty World."

Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan harbored no fondness for the Misty Immortal Sect, even though they were once its disciples. But now, under these circumstances, once the prohibitions of the Misty World are lifted, and without the support of a substantial power behind Lu Chen, Great Xia will soon be divided up entirely.

Although Great Xia will still be divided even if Lu Chen joins the Misty Immortal Sect, the presence of the sect will deter those powers from going too far, and Great Xia will be able to retain more land. As a spokesperson for Misty Immortal Sect, Lu Chen would not face any life-threatening danger.

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen chuckled lightly, "Qingrou, are you worried about me?"

Li Qingrou snorted coldly, "I just don't want to see Junwan's child born without a father."

Continuing, Li Qingrou said, "I and my Honored Master hold some status within the Misty Immortal Sect too, if you're willing to turn to the Misty Immortal Sect, we can seek help from our master."

"However, if you think you have the strength to contend against the entire Misty World, then just ignore what I've said."

Li Qingrou could not overlook Lu Chen's intentions, which clearly showed no interest in seeking refuge in any power. Li Qingrou's suggestion was just a casual one, providing Lu Chen with a possible choice.

As for what Lu Chen chooses to do, that would be his own affair.

In any case, even if Great Xia were carved up by those powers, she and Wu Junwan could still seek help from their former Honored Master. While they might not be able to save Great Xia, keeping their lives and Lu Chen's safe would not be an issue.

At that moment, Lu Chen bent down to whisper in Li Qingrou's ear, "Qingrou, you really are worried about me. It seems you're starting to care more and more about your darling husband."

Li Qingrou ignored Lu Chen's words; she was trying to discuss serious matters, and yet he was treating it like a joke, not taking it seriously at all.

If he didn't care, then so be it—as if she had never said anything.

Just then, Lu Chen spoke up, "I will not seek refuge in the Misty Immortal Sect; I am not accustomed to living under someone else's roof."

"Once Great Xia pledges allegiance to the Misty Immortal Sect, it loses its independence; everything about Great Xia will be decided by the Misty Immortal Sect, and I will only be a puppet of the Misty Immortal Sect, a dog of the sect."

Lu Chen knew very well that the method suggested by Li Qingrou was a good one.

If he pledged allegiance to the Misty Immortal Sect, he could avoid many troubles. Let those powers fight over territories; he and his wives could live a comfortable life.

The mission of uniting this world was already completed, and he had successfully broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. If he truly wished to be a ruler who shirked his responsibilities, it was not impossible.

With a hardened heart, he could disconnect from everything in this world.

But Lu Chen was not one to play the lapdog for others, and he still had his own power within the Misty World. Who was to say he had no chance at all? Most importantly, Wu Junwan, Xue Linglong, and Bai Qingqing were all carrying his children. Once these three children were born, perhaps the system would offer even more generous rewards.

He has a system, why should he fear these natives? Just do it.

Being someone's lapdog is never a good thing; in his harem, each of his wives and concubines is as beautiful as flowers. He truly cannot believe that the cultivators of Misty Immortal Sect wouldn't be interested in his wives and concubines.

What if those cultivators demanded that he hand over his wives and concubines for their pleasure? As a puppet Emperor, would he hand them over or not?

As a man, he definitely couldn't tolerate this. Thus, personal strength was of utmost importance. Only with his own strength could he protect the people around him.

There's no point in looking for backing; he is his own support.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan didn't feel surprised at all. They both knew very well what kind of person Lu Chen was.

However, this meant that war between Great Sum and Misty World was inevitable, and the pressure on Lu Chen would become immensely huge.

At this moment, Li Qingrou, as she watched the figure moving about before her, suddenly felt a strange sensation. She was once an Empress, so she understood very well the pressure borne by an Emperor when facing a formidable enemy.

But just as Li Qingrou was feeling empathy, Lu Chen suddenly spoke up, "By the way, what kind of person is your mentor?"

"With Misty Immortal Sect set to invade this world, a conflict between Great Sum and Misty Immortal Sect will inevitably occur. When the time comes, I might spare your mentor's life."

Upon hearing these words, Li Qingrou let out a laugh. This guy was already so confident of Misty Immortal Sect's defeat—truly arrogant.

Wu Junwan replied from the side, "Our mentor is probably already in the Yin-Yang Realm by now. She is very beautiful and has an exceptional aura. She is the fairy many Sect disciples admire."

Li Qingrou took a deep breath, "Sigh... Junwan, why do you tell such things to this lecher... Sigh... What if our mentor catches his eye?"

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen said with a smile, "If you hadn't said that, I might not have been interested in your mentor. But now, I am quite curious to see just how beautiful she is."

Li Qingrou said, "Just... Alas... With your Heavenly Human Realm power, even if you met our mentor, you couldn't possibly be her match."

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "Just a Yin-Yang Realm."

Seeing Lu Chen speak so brazenly, both women immediately had a bad feeling. Was this guy actually thinking of targeting their mentor?

He didn't even care about the Yin-Yang Realm; could it be that the force behind him could actually interfere with this world? Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

The two women had long concluded that Lu Chen was a young master from a Cultivation Family and that he had a powerful force behind him. Lu Chen was merely here in this world for training. They were most worried that the force behind Lu Chen couldn't intervene in time, which was why Li Qingrou had earlier suggested that Lu Chen seek the support of Misty Immortal Sect.

If the power behind Lu Chen could intervene, then indeed, there was no need to seek refuge with Misty Immortal Sect.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't regard Misty Immortal Sect highly, the two women thought that the force behind Lu Chen would step in to help him.

At this moment, a thought suddenly arose in both their minds simultaneously. If the force behind Lu Chen really made a move, wouldn't their mentor be in danger?

Once their mentor fell into the hands of this bad guy, would her fate not be the same as theirs?
