Chapter 2408 - 2098: Master Lu, Don’t You Think This Condition Is a Bit Excessive?
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli was dumbfounded.
She hadn’t expected Lu Chen to propose such terms; she had thought he merely liked her body, but she didn’t foresee that the guy would want her to bear children for him.
It’s one thing to possess her body, but wanting her to carry on his lineage is pure fantasy, wishful thinking, and daydreaming.
Once Chu Qingli recovered, she instantly said, "Master Lu, don’t you think your condition is somewhat excessive?"
Lu Chen then wrapped his arm around Chu Qingli’s waist, continuing his little tricks and said, "Is this really excessive?"
"I don’t think it’s excessive at all; after all, we have done what needed to be done. Having two children for me wouldn’t be too tough for Master Chu."
"Moreover, if the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land doesn’t show some sincerity, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fully trust the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."
Chu Qingli asked angrily, "Having two children for you is considered sincere?"
Lu Chen said, "Once the two of us have children, there will be ties of cause and effect."
"If one day the border wilderness’s restriction disappears and your Heavenly Profound Sacred Land descends here, you might spare me considering the children’s sake."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli’s hand, propped on the bed, clenched slightly into a fist; this bastard even thought of that.
This is troublesome; judging by his demeanor, he’s not easy to fool. If she doesn’t bear him two children, he might not truly believe that the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land genuinely wants to cooperate.
No, absolutely not.
Losing herself to this border wilderness native already made her feel utterly humiliated.
If she were to have offspring with a border wilderness native and word got back to Central State, reaching the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, she would have no standing in the future, and would be mocked wherever she went.
Moreover, she is a direct disciple of the Elder Yu Changqin of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land; her reputation is vital to the Sacred Land, and this matter is out of the question.
Thinking this, Chu Qingli prepared to refuse Lu Chen.
However, as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that if she indeed rejected Lu Chen, he would definitely think they weren’t sincere.
Currently, all forces are converging in Guangling City; if Lu Chen chooses to cooperate with other forces, wouldn’t the Tianxuan Palace be sidelined?
Then, the lives of those disciples from the Tianxuan Palace would be threatened as well.
Given the circumstances, it might be best to agree to him, since Spirit Martial Artists find pregnancy inherently difficult, especially those of high realm.
After each time with Lu Chen, she could cleanse the impurities in her body using spiritual evil.
In this way, no matter how many times they have intercourse, she won’t get pregnant.
If Lu Chen notices she’s not getting pregnant and asks why, she could just use the excuse that it’s due to Spirit Martial Artists’ physiology, unrelated to her. Using this excuse, she can keep postponing until the ruins open.
She has a premonition that the ruins will surface soon; once she gains the Ancient Inheritance from the Ancient Ruins, she won’t need to keep up the act with Lu Chen.
Chu Qingli then said to Lu Chen, "Alright, I agree to your terms."
Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Lu Chen immediately looked over her profile.
At this moment, Chu Qingli’s status column displayed that she intended to pretend to agree first, then use Spirit Martial Artists’ difficulty in reproduction as a reason to keep delaying.
Seeing Chu Qingli’s status, Lu Chen chuckled.
He knew Chu Qingli wouldn’t agree easily.
Then Lu Chen leaned in, whispered into Chu Qingli’s ear, "Master Chu, you wouldn’t be pretending to agree first, then keep delaying, refusing to bear children for me."
"And if I questioned, you’d use Spirit Martial Artists’ inherent difficulty in childbearing as an excuse, right?"
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli’s heart skipped a beat.
She hadn’t expected Lu Chen to instantly guess her intentions.
This was troubling; knowing Lu Chen saw through her plan, would he still trust her?
Chu Qingli quickly recovered, stubbornly replied, "I am not someone who goes back on their word."
"Since I’ve agreed to Master Lu, I will surely bear children for him. If Master Lu chooses not to trust me, there’s nothing I can do."
Chu Qingli thought to herself that as long as she denied it staunchly, Lu Chen couldn’t do anything. After all, having children isn’t something that happens just because they have intercourse; besides, Spirit Martial Artists indeed find pregnancy hard, even without the tricks, Lu Chen’s wish for her to conceive wouldn’t be easy.
How can Lu Chen be certain she isn’t playing tricks?
Seeing Chu Qingli still being stubborn, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Actually, I have a way to ensure Master Chu isn’t deceiving me, though I don’t know if Master Chu is willing to cooperate."
Hearing this, Chu Qingli asked suspiciously, "What way?"
She didn’t believe Lu Chen could confirm if she was playing tricks.
After all, pregnancy is something that happens within her body, not Lu Chen’s.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen said, "How about this? If within three months, Master Chu hasn’t conceived my child, I’ll cooperate with other Outer Domain Forces."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli was stunned.
If that’s the case, she wouldn’t be able to play tricks anymore.
Contrarily, she’d have to try her best to ensure she conceives Lu Chen’s child.
Chu Qingli recovered, biting her lip in anger.
This guy is indeed cunning; this is troublesome, she literally has to have a child with Lu Chen.
Thinking of having offspring with a border wilderness native, she felt deeply troubled.
Seeing Chu Qingli silent, Lu Chen asked, "What does Master Chu think of this condition?"
"If Master Chu isn’t willing to agree, I could ask other forces; I’ve heard they have prepared plenty of beautiful women for me."
Chu Qingli coldly said, "Master Lu, do you truly wish for me to bear your children?"
"Even if there are children, if the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land truly wants to obliterate Zhen Nan Prince Manor, it wouldn’t stop because of a child."
"I can completely take the child back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land and raise them alone, and your Zhen Nan Prince Manor would still be destroyed."
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Hence, even if the Zhen Nan Prince Manor is destroyed, wouldn’t my bloodline still be preserved?"
Chu Qingli was somewhat bewildered; she hadn’t expected Lu Chen to have this kind of plan.
Indeed, once she gives birth to Lu Chen’s child, even if the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land wants to destroy Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she cannot kill her own child; after all, they came from her body.
If it were known she wouldn’t even spare her own flesh and blood, she couldn’t remain in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.
This man has really mapped out an excellent stratagem, and it seems she can’t escape.
Damn!
This native dares to humiliate her like this.
Since becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, she hadn’t endured such humiliation.
The crucial point is that she can’t refuse; if she wants to survive and complete her duty to the Sacred Land, she has to agree.
