Chapter 2409 - 2099: I Believe Our Child Will Be Exceptional
Seeing Chu Qingli once again sink into prolonged silence without speaking.
Lu Chen gently blew a breath of warm air by her ear, then whispered devilishly, "Master Chu, I believe our child will definitely be outstanding."
Chu Qingli clenched her fist, but finally, her jade fist slowly relaxed.
She then told Lu Chen, "Three months is too short. Even if I do nothing, it’s very likely I won’t conceive."
It’s not that she wanted to continue with her little tricks, it’s just that she had now reached the late-stage Earth Realm, a realm where the spiritual evil in her body was extremely dense, and her body found it very difficult to nurture life. The Life Seed simply couldn’t survive in her body.
Lu Chen said, "Three months is not too short. I believe you can conceive."
Seeing Lu Chen making no concessions, Chu Qingli had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I agree with you. I hope you won’t go back on your word."
Seeing Chu Qingli agree, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Alright, then let’s continue, don’t waste time."
As he finished speaking, Lu Chen continued with his business.
Chu Qingli gritted her teeth, trying hard to control the anger inside her heart.
One day, one day she would return this man’s humiliation a thousandfold.
Even if there was a child, so what?
She could spare her own child, but she would definitely torment this man severely, otherwise, she couldn’t quench the hatred in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, Lu Chen spent the majority of his time in Chu Qingli’s room, as he had signed a gambling agreement with her.
Chu Qingli only felt that this month passed in a blur, every day waking up to do business with Lu Chen, then being exhausted to the point of passing out, waking up to eat something, and then continuing to enjoy with Lu Chen.
In order to conceive Lu Chen’s child, she was really putting her all into it, but unfortunately, even after a whole month, despite the lack of any little tricks on her part, her belly didn’t show any signs of reaction.
This truly wasn’t her fault, the laws of this world were just like that, the stronger the Spirit Martial Artist, the harder it was to conceive offspring.
Throughout this month, many Outer Domain Forces brought gifts to visit, wanting to meet Lu Chen, but all were refused by him.
This left those Outer Domain Forces very displeased.
In their eyes, despite Zhen Nan Prince Manor being imposing in the Border Wilderness, they were just Border Desolate Natives, daring to refuse their Central State Power visits.
Though unhappy, they could do nothing about Zhen Nan Prince Manor, as it was known to have a Heavenly Realm presence, while their strongest were only at the late-stage Earth Realm.
Chen Min also visited Zhen Nan Prince Manor several times, only to meet the same fate as the other Outer Domain Forces, turned away at the door.
She strongly suspected that Tianxuan Palace had spoken ill of their Qionghua Holy Land to Prince Zhen Nan, making Zhen Nan Prince Manor refuse to see her, which wasn’t a good sign for their Qionghua Holy Land.
If things continued like this, when the Ancient Ruins appeared, if Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s Heavenly Realm helped Tianxuan Palace, then the inheritance within the Ancient Ruins would go to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.
Thinking it over, Chen Min came up with a plan, which was to have Pei Shuhua issue a Holy Decree, and she followed the eunuch delivering the decree into Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn’t currently restrict Zhen Nan Prince Manor, since it was still within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as Zhen Nan Prince Manor didn’t openly rebel, it had to adhere to the Imperial Court’s Holy Decree on the surface.
Very soon, Pei Shuhua issued a Holy Decree to Zhen Nan Prince Manor in the name of the court.
However, the content of this Holy Decree wasn’t demanding Zhen Nan Prince Manor to do anything, but rather rewarding it for subduing those few Deceit Kings with some things.
In the room, two figures were entangled, Lu Chen leaving marks on the beautiful flesh with his mouth continuously.
At this moment, the voice of the maid appeared at the door, "Master Lu, the court has a decree."
Hearing the maid’s words at the door, Lu Chen, who was in high spirits, froze for a moment.
A decree? What decree?
He couldn’t believe the Great Zhou Royal Family still hadn’t grasped the situation.
Although Zhen Nan Prince Manor had never openly declared having a Heavenly Realm, by now all forces in the Border Wilderness had guessed that Zhen Nan Prince Manor probably had a Heavenly Realm, thus not daring to provoke them.
And now the Great Zhou Court was actually issuing a decree to Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
He would like to see what kind of decree Pei Shuhua issued to Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
With this thought, he quickly finished his business, then slowly got up, leaving Chu Qingli alone in the room, while he dressed and headed to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s audience hall.
In the audience hall, Chen Min was holding the decree, waiting for Lu Chen’s arrival.
Soon, she saw a young man in white clothes appear at the entrance of the hall.
Lu Chen glanced at Chen Min, not knowing why, but the woman in front of him gave him a sense of danger.
Her eyes were slender, always giving one the impression that this woman was extremely insidious and ruthless.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, Chen Min immediately opened the decree and read aloud, "By the Emperor’s command, following Heaven’s Mandate, the Emperor decrees thus, rewarding Prince Zhen Nan for subduing the Deceit Kings, removing calamity for Dazhou..."
Upon hearing the content of the decree, Lu Chen realized it was a reward decree.
He thought Pei Shuhua might not see the situation clearly and was planning to make Zhen Nan Prince Manor do something.
It seemed that Pei Shuhua wasn’t foolish, likely realizing the Great Zhou Royal Family was no match for Zhen Nan Prince Manor, hence wanting to reconcile with them to avoid rebellion and overthrowing of the Ji family’s rule.
After finishing the decree, Chen Min came to Lu Chen with it, revealing a self-perceived gentle smile, "Master Lu, please accept the decree, His Majesty’s reward is at the entrance of the mansion."
Lu Chen came to his senses, without any hesitation, directly taking the decree from Chen Min’s hand.
Then he calmly said to Chen Min, "I hope you can thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of Zhen Nan Prince Manor when you return to the Capital city."
Chen Min replied, "Alright, Master Lu."
Continuing, she said, "By the way, Master Lu, I came not only to read the decree but also for another matter, if Master Lu is willing to listen."
Even without Chen Min speaking up, Lu Chen had already guessed her purpose for coming to Zhen Nan Prince Manor, as he had looked over her personal file.
The file showed that Chen Min was a disciple of Qionghua Holy Land.
Not long ago, Qionghua Holy Land had united with the Great Zhou Dynasty to besiege Tianxuan Palace.
Now, a disciple from Qionghua Holy Land was looking for him, either to cooperate with Zhen Nan Prince Manor or to make them hand over people from Tianxuan Palace.
However, Qionghua Holy Land knew Zhen Nan Prince Manor had a Heavenly Realm strong person, so it was unlikely they dared to ask them to hand over Tianxuan Palace’s people.
Therefore, there seemed to be only one purpose left for Chen Min’s visit, to win Zhen Nan Prince Manor over, just like those Outer Domain spies in Guangling City.
So this decree was merely a facade, an excuse for Chen Min to enter Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
But even if he guessed Chen Min’s purpose, Lu Chen didn’t drive her away but instead asked as if unaware, "What else might you have in mind, my lord?"
