Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Junwan also looked at Lu Chen with some concern. She had told Wang Shufei that she would bring Wu Yao back before evening. If Lu Chen killed Wu Yao, she would have broken her promise.

Moreover, Junwan did not want to see Lu Chen kill a girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old.

At this moment, Lu Chen continued, "Rise, I will not kill you. I just want to see the mark on your forehead."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yao quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, Wu Yao shakily got to her feet.

Once Wu Yao had stood up, Lu Chen placed his hand on her forehead and then used the Rejuvenating Skill, attempting to remove the mark on her forehead.

When Lu Chen's spiritual power entered Wu Yao's body, her face immediately showed a look of pain.

Lu Chen soon sensed the source of the dark energy, under the skin on Wu Yao's forehead, there was a dark mass.

He then circulated his spiritual power, trying to dissolve the dark energy, but it was very stubborn, and Lu Chen struggled to dissolve it.

However, as the spiritual power of the Rejuvenating Skill was infused, the dark mass slowly transformed into a mist that emitted from Wu Yao's forehead. Seeing that his Rejuvenating Skill was effective, Lu Chen immediately increased the infusion of the spiritual energy.

A moment later, the mark on Wu Yao's forehead disappeared, and no dark energy continued to emit from her forehead.

Lu Chen then used the Rejuvenating Skill to check Wu Yao's physical condition and, making sure everything was fine, he ended the treatment.

At that moment, Wu Yao's eyes darkened, and her body slumped.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Junwan quickly came to support her. Looking at Wu Yao, who had already fainted, Lu Chen said to Bai Qingqing, "Bai, she must be tired. Have someone take her back to rest well, and have someone monitor her condition at all times."

"If there is any change in her body, or discomfort, have them report to me immediately."

Bai Qingqing bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Subsequently, Bai Qingqing called a few guards, and they took Wu Yao back.

After Wu Yao left the Imperial Study Room, Junwan finally spoke, "Your Majesty, what were you doing just now?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just felt that the mark was ominous, and it's not nice for a little girl to have such a big scar on her forehead, so I just helped her remove it."

Hearing Lu Chen's response, Junwan's face showed a suspicious look. She felt that Lu Chen must have concealed something from her, but since Lu Chen chose not to say, she did not want to continue questioning.

At this moment, Lu Chen felt somewhat guilty; he could have removed the marks from all the Wu Family's people, but he chose not to do so.

If the mark really had the ability to amplify hatred, the children of the Martial Emperor would surely find ways to cause destruction in Great Sum one day, which would actually be beneficial for Lu Chen as it would give him a legitimate reason to eliminate those people.

Junwan then said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Lu Chen indifferently said, "Yes, alright, my lady, take care."

Junwan then turned and left the Imperial Study Room. After leaving the Imperial Study Room, she continually felt that Lu Chen was scheming something.

She had just heard what Wu Yao said and sensed that there might be something wrong with these marks. Being someone who had been to Misty World and knew some of the Incantation Skill of the cultivation realm, she suspected that her father had used some kind of curse on all his children before he killed himself.

These curses might one day endanger Great Sum.

Junwan decided to pay more attention to her siblings in the future. If they showed any abnormality, she would need to stop them immediately.

...

Great Jue, Imperial Palace.

Inside the Empress's bedchamber.

At this moment, the Yue Emperor, dressed in a white inner garment, sat at the tea table in the room, seriously reading the intelligence report in her hands.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunxi was half-reclining comfortably on the Yue Emperor's phoenix bed.

Mu Yunxi lifted her slender, fair legs, her delicate fingers running between her thighs as she remarked, "Your Majesty's phoenix bed is indeed soft, far more comfortable than the places I slept at in the Barbarian Tribe."

Although Mu Yunxi had the best conditions among the Barbarian Tribe, constrained by the location, the Barbarian Tribe could not compare with Great Jue in terms of food, clothing, and shelter. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

Since forming an alliance with the Yue Emperor, Mu Yunxi had finally enjoyed a comfortable life, especially the emperor's large and soft phoenix bed, which she occasionally visited to lie upon.

With an expressionless face, the Yue Emperor coldly said, "I advise you it's best not to lie on my bed."

Though they had formed an alliance, it did not mean the Yue Emperor was without any guard against Mu Yunxi. She didn't believe their relationship had progressed to the point of sharing the same bed.

Upon hearing the Yue Emperor's words, Mu Yunxi did not get up. Her peach-blossom eyes slightly curved in a smile as she teased, "Your Majesty, with such a large bed, don't you feel lonely sleeping alone?"

"Why not let me accompany you?"

The Yue Emperor ignored Mu Yunxi and said, "Speak if you have business."

The Yue Emperor didn't believe Mu Yunxi had come to see her so late just to be coquettish in front of another woman; that would be pointless.

Mu Yunxi then said, "Great Wu has already been annihilated, and next, it will be Great Jue's turn. Aren't you worried at all?"

Hearing this question, the Yue Emperor calmly said, "The troops of Great Wu have already mastered the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array and can fend off ordinary Celestials without issue."

Mu Yunxi chuckled and said, "You seem quite confident in my battle array."

At that moment, the Yue Emperor asked, "Did you come from the Misty World?"

On hearing the term "Misty World," Mu Yunxi inquired in surprise, "Have you been to the Misty World?"

Mu Yunxi was well aware of the Misty World in the western part of the continent and how it came into existence.

The Yue Emperor, making no attempt to hide her knowledge, directly stated, "I have."

Mu Yunxi said, "The Misty World has restrictions. Being able to enter and come out of the Misty World is quite impressive."

At this point, Mu Yunxi responded to the Yue Emperor's question, "I indeed have entered the Misty World, but I am not from there. I come from a higher-level Cultivation World."

"Moreover, the Misty World doesn't have any so-called natives. It belongs to a chaotic space, extremely unstable, and the land of the Misty World also fell in from other shattered worlds."

As Mu Yunxi finished speaking, the Yue Emperor continued, "Lu Chen was able to rise so quickly, there might also be cultivators from other worlds behind him, perhaps with similar goals as yours."

Mu Yunxi said, "I believe so too."

The Yue Emperor then probed, "Since you share the same goal, have you not considered forming an alliance with Great Sum?"

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi revealed a slight smile, her beautiful eyes fixated on the Yue Emperor as she said, "You need not probe, If I wanted to cooperate with Great Sum, I would have done so already."

"Although the cultivators behind Great Sum might share a similar goal to mine, after opening the world gate, it can only lead to one place."

"This world is a closed world, and it is a world where Spiritual Power is depleted. Opening a world gate once consumes a large amount of this world's Spiritual Power. I only have one chance, and I will not share this opportunity with anyone."

Creating a world gate requires the consumption of this world's Spiritual Power, and the gate operates on a point-to-point basis. Most importantly, even transporting a single person needs a large amount of Spiritual Power.

Especially the higher one's Realm, the more Spiritual Power is needed. For Mu Yunxi, other world's cultivators are competitors, and it is likely that only one person can leave this world. Naturally, she wouldn't share this chance with anyone else.
