Enjoy new tales from empire

In the antiquated, aromatic royal chamber, countless calligraphies and paintings hung, strewn across the floor as well, filling the entire room with the breath of literature, appearing incomparably refined.

However, atop the bed in such a room, there lay a fair-skinned woman.

The woman sprawled across the bed, as though she had fallen asleep.

Just then, from the neighboring room came faint sounds. Though they were extremely soft, if one listened carefully, they could still be heard.

Murong Xue'er instantly woke up, she sat up from the bed and swept a glance over her body, sighing slightly upon seeing the characters Lu Chen had left on her.

She truly could no longer be without that man.

Soon, Murong Xue'er calmed her emotions and listened attentively to the sounds coming from next door.

After a moment, Murong Xue'er couldn't help but let out a light chuckle.

The esteemed Princess Junwan of Great Wu, always so noble and dignified, had turned into such a state in the hands of that man, reduced to nothing but tears and cries.

Thinking of Wu Junwan, that exalted beauty being ravaged by Lu Chen, Murong Xue'er felt a sense of satisfaction within.

She was very clear that when Lu Chen was earlier in her room, Wu Junwan outside must have been listening with the mindset of enjoying the show.

How Wu Junwan must have thought of her before, now it was her turn.

At dusk.

Within Princess Junwan's chamber.

Wu Junwan had originally thought that Lu Chen had just left Murong Xue'er's room, and even if he took a fancy to her on a whim and wanted to play his tricks, he probably wouldn't stay for long in her room.

Yet this fellow entered her chamber and stayed for an entire afternoon, and she found that he seemed unusually excited today.

She wondered if her status as the princess of an enemy state had provoked Lu Chen, making him become especially wild.

As night fell and a round moon hung in the sky, the cool moonlight spilled over the windowsill and into the room, shining onto Wu Junwan's fair skin.

At this time, Wu Junwan lay on Lu Chen's chest, while Lu Chen embraced her waist, his broad hand around her hips. With a smile, Lu Chen said, "A princess of the enemy nation is truly different."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan weakly snorted, "You really are a tyrant."

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "Tyrants? This world has no shortage of them, as long as one is not a foolish ruler."

Wu Junwan spoke out, "Your Majesty spends all day lying atop women; sooner or later, you will become a foolish ruler."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "By the day I become a foolish ruler, perhaps I will have already passed the throne to my son."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reply, Wu Junwan somewhat disbelievingly said, "Would you willingly give up the power in your hands?"

Lu Chen said, "I didn't say I'd relinquish the power in my hands. By that time, I'll be the Overlord, and I just won't deal with affairs."

Wu Junwan said, "Throughout history, those who became Overlords were eventually completely sidelined by their sons."

Lu Chen, smiling, replied, "That will depend on whether my son has the capabilities."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore; let's continue with what we were doing," he said.

With that, Lu Chen, holding Wu Junwan's waist, flipped over, pressing her down beneath him again.

Wu Junwan watched Lu Chen speechlessly; this young man would certainly be a foolish ruler in the future.

Lu Chen paid no attention to Wu Junwan's gaze; he leaned down again and kissed her tender, red lips once more.

Another night passed by.

In the early morning, when warm sunlight shone upon Lu Chen, he awoke and gently combed through Wu Junwan's now-disheveled hair with his hand.

As Lu Chen tidied Wu Junwan's hair, he suddenly noticed what seemed to be a system notification exclamation mark beside his line of sight.

Lu Chen thought of something and hastily opened the system notification panel.

He had been too immersed the previous night and hadn't checked the system panel. Only now did he realize Wu Junwan had been affected.

[Host has cultivated affection with a wife, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points added... Demon Burying Spell experience points added...]

[Congratulations to the host for helping his wife, Wu Junwan, become pregnant. You are rewarded with the "Protecting Pulse Seven Killing Array" formation.]

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. After all, Wu Junwan had already become a Pseudo Celestial, and on top of that, Wu Junwan's condition for becoming a Celestial was to bear him three children. Therefore, Lu Chen had always thought this condition was extremely harsh and that it would be very difficult for Wu Junwan to conceive his child.

He never expected Wu Junwan to become pregnant with his seed so quickly.

Then, Lu Chen opened the "Protecting Pulse Seven Killing Array" to see what the formation was for.

[Protecting Pulse Seven Killing Array: An Earth-tier formation. Once established successfully, the host's wife and children can activate it, able to withstand attacks from All Law Realm experts, and it will not cause harm to the host's wife and children.]

After reading the purpose of the formation, Lu Chen was overjoyed; the formation would be of great use to him.

At that moment, Lu Chen felt Wu Junwan stirring slightly in his arms, and he immediately looked down at her exquisitely beautiful cheeks.

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Just then, Wu Junwan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and soon after, she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Lu Chen staring at her with a mischievous grin.

Wu Junwan was taken aback for a moment, her delicate body trembling slightly, "Why are you smiling?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I have some good news for you."

Out of curiosity, Wu Junwan asked, "What good news?"

Lu Chen said mysteriously, "Prepare yourself mentally."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan looked at Lu Chen with a skeptical expression,"Go ahead and tell me."

Lu Chen simply said, "You're pregnant."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Wu Junwan was stunned again.

Pregnant?

Could it be true?

Having lived together with Lu Chen's other wives and consorts for so long, she had already heard about some of Lu Chen's abilities. For instance, how Lu Chen could sense if they were pregnant almost immediately.

So when Lu Chen said they were pregnant, they were definitely pregnant, it just needed some time to show the pregnancy state.

Even though she knew Lu Chen was probably telling the truth, Wu Junwan still found it hard to believe. After all, she was a Pseudo Celestial. Not to mention a Pseudo Celestial, even a Grandmaster would find it difficult to conceive.

She hadn't been with Lu Chen for long and had already been impregnated with his seed.

If the pregnancy speed were to continue like this, wouldn't she be able to become a Celestial before she was even fifty?

Forget fifty, even becoming a Celestial before forty wasn't out of the question.

At this time, Wu Junwan's emotions were somewhat complicated. Although she wished to break through and become a Celestial quickly, the thought of carrying this scoundrel's seed made her feel odd.

The Princess of Great Wu had eventually fallen into the hands of the enemy nations' Emperor.

Coming back to her senses, Wu Junwan asked for confirmation, "Are you serious?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Wait a month and you'll know if I'm telling the truth."

At this point, Lu Chen touched his waist and then said, "I've always said that I would eventually make you pregnant, and I've done as I said."

Wu Junwan fell into silence, not saying a word.

Seeing Wu Junwan looked like she was pondering something, Lu Chen asked, "What's wrong? You don't believe me?"

Wu Junwan said expressionlessly, "I believe you."

Lu Chen continued to ask, "Aren't you happy?"

Wu Junwan replied, "No."

Lu Chen said, "Then why do you look so down?"

Wu Junwan was silent once again.
