The Ninth Prince's Hidden Path to Glory

Staring at the blue interface before him, Lu Chen was as stunned as he had been when he first beheld Mu Zixuan's beautiful countenance.

He even doubted whether he had become delirious due to excessive exertion during the recent activity, causing him to hallucinate.

Then, he fixed his gaze intently on the blue interface and, with a lift of his hand, selected the option [Yes].

Immediately, the woman's voice rang out once more.

[Newcomer's Gift Package has been claimed]

Following the sound of the prompt, many items materialized before Lu Chen's eyes.

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained one Dragon-Tiger Pill, one Realm-Breaking Pill, one Desert Eagle, five hundred bullets, fifty grenades, and one Dragon- Phoenix Tree Seed.]

Lu Chen had no inkling of what these items were for. Cautiously, he glanced at the beauty beside him. Mu Zixuan had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, so he felt at ease and, with another lift of his hand, tapped on the words "Dragon-Tiger Pill" on the blue interface.

[Dragon-Tiger Pill: After consumption, it can significantly enhance the Host's combat capabilities and ensure the Host fathers an heir more quickly.]

In the next instant, an exquisitely crafted porcelain bottle appeared in Lu Chen's hand.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up; it was real!

Instantaneously, with a mere thought, he waved his hand, and the small porcelain bottle returned to the blue interface.

Lu Chen then proceeded to click on the other rewards.

[Realm-Breaking Pill: After the Host consumes it, he can directly ascend to the rank of a first-class martial artist.]

[Desert Eagle: This firearm is of great power and can safeguard the Host's safety in this world.]

[Dragon-Phoenix Tree Seed: It can be cultivated with the Host's blood. When the Dragon-Phoenix Tree matures, if a woman drinks the tea made from its leaves, she will become utterly dependent on the Host. This seed can assist the Host in obtaining more high-quality heirs.]

Upon reading the descriptions of these items, Lu Chen was elated. Never had he expected that, after resigning himself to a life as an ordinary prince, he would encounter a [Blessed with Many Children] system at this moment.

Lu Chen then asked in his mind, "System, will I receive rewards for any woman who bears me a child?"

Even though he now had the system, Lu Chen didn't believe it would come without any conditions. If he could obtain rewards for every woman who gave birth to his child, wouldn't he become invincible in no time? All he would need to do then was stay at home and till the fields, doing nothing else.

[The woman's score must reach ninety.]

After hearing the system's voice, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Mu Zixuan again.

At this moment, an identification interface popped up.

[Name: Mu Zixuan]

[Identity: Daughter of Mu Changtian, a citizen of the Great Xia Dynasty, Princess of the Northern Prince]

[Score: 93]

[Affection Level: 60 (You have made her very satisfied today)]

Seeing that Mu Zixuan had a score of 93, Lu Chen grinned. It would be unjust if such a beautiful woman didn't score at least ninety.

Suddenly, Lu Chen glanced at the two maidservants in the room. They were also rather pretty; perhaps their scores would also reach ninety.

[Name: Zhou Xiaoxiao]

[Identity: Daughter of Zhou Wangtian. After Zhou Wangtian's family was confiscated, this woman was sent to the Jiaofangsi. Later, she was purchased by the Mu family and accompanied Miss Mu Zixuan, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, in her marriage to the Northern Prince's Mansion as a dowry maid.]

[Score: 90]

[Affection Level: 50]

Upon seeing the introduction of the maid before him, Lu Chen was instantly taken aback.

He wasn't surprised that Zhou Xiaoxiao had a score of ninety, considering her undeniable beauty.

What shocked him was that this woman was the daughter of Zhou Wangtian.

Zhou Wangtian was the one who had implicated the Mu family. Whether he had truly rebelled or not, Lu Chen wasn't certain. However, it had been officially declared as rebellion. The Mu family was truly audacious; even after Zhou Xiaoxiao had been sent to the Jiaofangsi, they still dared to rescue her.

Moreover, they had sent her to the Northern Prince's Mansion. Weren't they setting him up?

If this matter were to come to the attention of those with ulterior motives, it was highly likely that he himself would also be implicated.

Lu Chen then looked at the other maid beside her, who was also very beautiful.[Name: Zhou Youyou]

[Identity: Daughter of Zhou Wangtian, younger sister of Zhou Xiaoxiao. After Zhou Wangtian's family was confiscated, this woman was sent to the Jiaofangsi and was later bought by the Mu family with money. Today, she accompanied Miss Mu Zixuan, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, in her marriage to the Northern Prince's Mansion as a dowry maid.]

[Score: 91]

[Affection Level: 80 (She fell in love with you at first sight)]

Seeing Zhou Youyou's information, Lu Chen frowned. It was just as he had suspected.

When he entered the bridal chamber earlier, he had been curious as to why Mu Zixuan's dowry maids were so beautiful. They didn't look like maids at all; they were clearly two young ladies!

Nevertheless, since both of them had a score of ninety, if they bore him children, it would meet the system's requirements.

It was like getting two for the price of one.

But what should he do about their identities?

It was far too sensitive.

Although they had been bought out by the Mu family, perhaps the process was legal, but they were, after all, the daughters of a criminal official and could only be regarded as slaves.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were standing beside the bridal chamber. When they saw that Lu Chen, instead of going to sleep after the exertion, was staring intently at them, they trembled with fear.

They had witnessed Lu Chen's "rampage" earlier. As dowry maids, they had to be present even during Mu Zixuan's wedding night to serve Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan, such as wiping away sweat. And if the mistress was unable to continue, they might even have to take her place to serve Lu Chen.

They had long since accepted their fate. And for the two daughters of a criminal official, being favored by Lu Chen would actually be their good fortune.

The Mu family had chosen them as dowry maids with precisely this intention, hoping that the Northern Prince's Mansion would protect them.

Lu Chen cleared his throat and said, "You two can go to sleep."

The two replied in unison, "Yes, Your Highness."

Immediately, they turned and walked towards the maids' quarters beside the bridal chamber.

Watching the graceful backs of the two sisters, Lu Chen couldn't help but think that ancient society was truly immoral.

However, he had already become accustomed to it. In fact, he hadn't even felt uncomfortable with the two sisters watching him earlier.

After they left the bridal chamber, Lu Chen took out the Realm-Breaking Pill and swallowed it directly.

Immediately, a warm current entered his body, and Lu Chen suddenly felt extremely relaxed all over.

Suddenly, a blue interface appeared before him.

Host: Lu Chen

Realm: First-Class

Cultivation Method: None

Divine Ability: None

Weapon: Desert Eagle

Offspring: None

Lu Chen only glanced at it briefly before closing the system interface.

At this moment, he was a bit restless. Since coming to this world, he had exercised almost every day in the way he had on Earth, but he had never practiced martial arts and had thus never possessed the power of a martial artist.

Now that he had the power of a martial artist for the first time, Lu Chen was eager to test it.

However, after taking a look at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly beside him, Lu Chen finally abandoned this idea.

He would wait until tomorrow morning.

The next morning.

Chu Yuqin came to the courtyard where Lu Chen was. Seeing that the door of Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan's bridal chamber was still closed, she asked the soldiers of the prince's mansion at the door, "Has Chen'er not gotten up yet?"

The soldier stammered and replied with an embarrassed look, "Well... His Highness has gotten up, but he is still... busy. Madam Chu, it would be best if you came back later."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Chu Yuqin faintly heard some sounds coming from the room.
