Chapter 2405 - 2095: Tonight I Will Come to Your Room and Teach You a Cultivation Technique
Seeing Lu Chen’s exaggerated expression, Mu Yunxi knew that this guy must have known her honored master was coming, so he intentionally came here.
At this time, Chu Qingli stood up and said, "Greetings, Master Lu. I came to see Yunxi."
Lu Chen laughed and said, "Master Chu, rest assured, Yunxi is doing well in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor. I have not mistreated her."
Chu Qingli said, "Thank you, Master Lu, for taking care of Yunxi and helping her break through to the mid-stage Xuan Realm."
Lu Chen said, "Master Chu, you’re too kind. After all, Yunxi is my woman, helping her improve her strength is what I should do."
Speaking of this, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Master Chu, I wonder why you came to Guangling City this time?"
Lu Chen naturally didn’t believe that Chu Qingli came to Guangling City just to see Mu Yunxi. She must have something important, and it is most likely related to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Chu Qingli sighed slightly and then said, "To be honest, Master Lu, the Great Zhou Dynasty has allied with Qionghua Holy Land, intending to destroy Tianxuan Palace."
"I had no choice but to disband Tianxuan Palace and then fled to Guangling City, planning to seek protection from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Saying this, Chu Qingli glanced at Lu Chen’s expression, wanting to see his reaction.
However, Lu Chen’s face showed no change in expression.
He walked to the round table, pulled out a stool, and then sat on it.
He then pulled Mu Yunxi into his lap, letting Mu Yunxi sit on his thigh, wrapping both arms around Mu Yunxi’s slender waist. Everything seemed so natural, as if he often did this kind of thing.
Of course, he actually did this often.
Seeing Lu Chen act so familiarly with her in front of her honored master, Mu Yunxi suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, but she couldn’t resist either. She and Lu Chen had long been intimate with each other, so this kind of hugging was nothing.
Seeing Lu Chen’s attention seemingly all on Mu Yunxi, Chu Qingli was about to continue speaking when Lu Chen said, "If Master Chu is willing to stay at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, then I certainly welcome you. Master Chu, rest assured, with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor here, no one can harm you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli hesitated. She didn’t expect Lu Chen to agree so easily, always feeling that there was some conspiracy behind it. Chu Qingli then asked, "I wonder what condition Master Lu has?"
Lu Chen’s hand slowly moved down Mu Yunxi’s waist, finally resting on her thigh, gently stroking it, and then said, "Tianxuan Palace is currently cooperating with our Zhen Nan Prince Manor, so protecting a partner is what we should do."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli became even more cautious. Free things are often the most expensive; having no conditions sometimes means the other party has even bigger plans.
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "How did the Great Zhou Dynasty join forces with Qionghua Holy Land against Tianxuan Palace?"
Chu Qingli answered, "Qionghua Holy Land is also a Central State power. They also want the inheritance in the ancient ruins. Naturally, for them, the fewer people, the better."
Lu Chen said, "I see."
At this time, Chu Qingli took the initiative to ask, "Master Lu, I’ve heard that your Zhen Nan Prince Manor has an Earth Realm dual cultivation technique. I wonder if I can exchange a magic treasure for this dual cultivation technique."
"If Master Lu doesn’t need a magic treasure, I can also exchange other cultivation techniques with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Hearing Chu Qingli mention the dual cultivation technique, Lu Chen knew that it should have been Mu Yunxi who told Chu Qingli.
Lu Chen immediately said, "We neither want a magic treasure nor a cultivation technique."
"If Master Chu wants that dual cultivation technique, you only need to agree to one condition of mine."
Chu Qingli asked, "What condition?"
Lu Chen’s lips curved slightly upwards, and he said, "Master Chu wants this dual cultivation technique. It’s for cultivation, is it not?"
Chu Qingli replied, "Naturally."
Lu Chen continued, "This is a dual cultivation technique. If Master Chu wants to practice this technique, you must find a man to pair with. Does Master Chu already have a favored partner?"
Chu Qingli answered, "Not yet. But once I obtain this technique, I will choose someone with good aptitude from Tianxuan Palace to dual cultivate with."
Lu Chen stared straight at Chu Qingli and asked, "Rather than finding someone else, why not just choose me? What does Master Chu think?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli was stunned for a moment. She instantly realized what Lu Chen’s condition was.
Sitting in Lu Chen’s arms, Mu Yunxi frowned tightly.
This guy really is targeting their palace master.
Now it depends on what her honored master thinks. But as far as she knows her honored master, she fears she might actually agree.
After all, cultivating this dual cultivation technique might allow her to break through to the Heavenly Realm. Once she reaches the Heavenly Realm, when the ruins emerge, the other powers in Central State won’t be able to contest Tianxuan Palace for the ancient inheritance in the ruins.
Chu Qingli quickly composed herself and said expressionlessly, "Master Lu, you wouldn’t be joking with me, would you?"
Lu Chen said, "I never joke. Or does Master Chu think my talent is lacking? Do you look down on me?"
Chu Qingli quickly said, "Master Lu, I have no such thoughts, it’s just..."
Saying this, Chu Qingli hesitated.
Honestly, she really did look down on the Border Wilderness natives.
Of course, she couldn’t say it out loud.
Although she intended to enhance her strength through dual cultivation, she still wanted to choose someone from Central State. If she dual cultivated with someone from the Border Wilderness, if people from Heavenly Profound Sacred Land found out, they might ridicule her.
Although she wasn’t that concerned about chastity, she did care about her reputation.
Seeing Chu Qingli hesitate, Lu Chen continued, "If Master Chu is willing, I can personally teach you the dual cultivation technique tonight and guide you in cultivation."
As soon as Lu Chen’s words fell, a look of disdain appeared on Mu Yunxi’s face. What guidance? He clearly just wanted to sleep with her.
Chu Qingli felt some inner turmoil.
On one hand, she really didn’t want to have such a relationship with a Border Wilderness native.
On the other hand, she really wanted this Earth Realm dual cultivation technique.
Moreover, she wasn’t a fool; since Lu Chen suggested dual cultivation with her, it showed that Lu Chen was likely targeting her long ago.
Last time she came to Guangling City, she noticed Lu Chen’s fiery gaze, a look as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Mu Yunxi staying at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she suspected that Lu Chen would have forcibly kept and claimed her last time.
Judging from the current situation, if she doesn’t agree to dual cultivate with Lu Chen, he will never pass the technique to her.
Additionally, even if she doesn’t agree to dual cultivate with Lu Chen, he will likely use other means to get what he wants.
She’s like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.
With that Heavenly Realm presence in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, even if Lu Chen wanted to sleep with her, she couldn’t resist.
So instead of refusing, she might as well go along with it, and take the opportunity to get the dual cultivation technique while engaging with Lu Chen.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingli said, "Master Lu, I agree to your condition."
Seeing Chu Qingli agree, Lu Chen smiled and said, "In that case, Master Chu, please prepare yourself. I will come to your room tonight to impart the technique to you."
