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

Li Qianrou also knew that as long as Lu Chen, this lecher, came here, she herself would inevitably suffer torment tonight, and she now had no inclination to resist.

However, before she was tormented, she still planned to tell Lu Chen something.

"Your Majesty plans to personally attack Great Qian?" Li Qianrou asked.

Hearing Li Qianrou's question, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Qianrou's news is indeed well-informed. It was only decided today, and yet you already know."

Li Qianrou couldn't be bothered with Lu Chen's words. The afternoon newspapers had already spread throughout the streets and alleys, so how could she possibly not know about this.

Li Qianrou then said, "You just recently decided to dissolve all the Sects within Great Sum, and now you're not staying in Yan County but attacking Great Qian. Aren't you afraid that by the time you return, Yan County will have been occupied by those Sect forces?"

Lu Chen showed a surprised expression, "Oh? From what you're saying, did you hear something?"

Li Qianrou said indifferently, "Someone invited me to join them and to take control of Yan County once you leave."

Li Qianrou was the Empress of Dayue, and in the eyes of those Sect forces, Li Qianrou was definitely not resigned to the extinction of Dayue nor willing to become Lu Chen's pet.

Given the chance, Li Qianrou would surely rebel, which was why those Sect forces had invited her.

Those people clearly did not expect that Li Qianrou had already reconciled to her fate. Although she still harbored some resistance towards Lu Chen, the fact that Wu Junwan was pregnant with Lu Chen's child, and that Wu Junwan's potential ascension to Celestial was closely linked with Lu Chen, naturally propelled Li Qianrou to stand by Lu Chen's side.

Upon hearing Li Qianrou candidly disclose this matter, Lu Chen immediately tightened his hold, pulling Li Qianrou's waist closer, pressing her hips closer to his body.

"I did not expect you to tell me this. It seems my Qianrou has fallen in love with me."

Feeling Lu Chen's fervor, Li Qianrou immediately said coldly, "I told you this for Junwan's sake, don't flatter yourself."

Upon saying this, Li Qianrou twisted her waist, attempting to break free from Lu Chen, but Lu Chen's firm grip made it impossible for her to escape.

Seeing that she could not escape from Lu Chen's control, Li Qianrou gave up struggling and allowed Lu Chen to hold her.

Li Qianrou continued asking, "What do you plan to do next?"

"The power of those Sect forces is not weak, and among them there may exist Celestials. If you leave Yan County, by the time you return, it might already have fallen into their hands."

Upon hearing Li Qianrou's words, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth slightly lifted.

Li Qianrou had entered Lu Chen's harem later, so she was still unfamiliar with the Formation in Yan County. She had heard that Yan County had a Formation, but she did not believe that it could withstand the siege from so many Sect forces.

Although the Celestials of the Sect forces had not interfered when Lu Chen exterminated Great Wu and Dayue, it did not mean that there were no Celestials among the Sects of this world.

Celestials, seeking a breakthrough to their limits, mostly stay in closed meditation, and would not come forth unless it was a special circumstance.

If Lu Chen intended to dissolve the Sect forces of those Celestials, eradicating the powers they had painstakingly built up, those hidden Celestials would surely emerge, and no one could be certain how many of these old beings nearing their limits were hidden in this world.

If all these Celestials gathered in Yan County the moment Lu Chen, who could eliminate Celestials, departed, they would surely join forces to seize Yan County and imprison all of Lu Chen's wives and children to threaten him.

Li Qianrou could not believe that Lu Chen was unaware of these risks; she simply could not understand what had emboldened Lu Chen to dare leave Yan County at such a time.

Does this guy truly not consider his wives, concubines, and children at all?

Li Qianrou was naturally not worried about her own safety; as a Celestial who had grasped Sword Intent, she could easily take Wu Junwan away and protect her.

What she feared was that if Lu Chen's wives and children were captured, it could threaten Lu Chen, and if, by chance, Lu Chen slipped up and was eliminated by those Sect forces, wouldn't Wu Junwan's path as a Celestial be cut off?

Moreover, Wu Junwan was carrying a child, and she didn't want her close friend's child to be fatherless upon birth.

Hearing Li Qianrou's reminder, Lu Chen laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to care so much about me, Qianrou. It seems you also have a soft heart behind your sharp tongue!"

Li Qianrou coldly said, "I've told you, I am only considering this for Junwan's sake; I certainly do not wish to see you in trouble, and for Junwan's path as a Celestial to be severed because of you."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, alright, I understand; I'll take it you're doing this for Junwan."

At this point, Lu Chen asked, "This issue you mentioned, I've already been aware of it."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qianrou and Wu Junwan were momentarily stunned, both women furrowing their brows, seemingly discerning Lu Chen's underlying thoughts.

Li Qianrou then said, "You did this on purpose?"

"Did you intentionally let out the news of leaving Yan County to attract those Sect forces' powerhouses, and then plan to eliminate them all at once?"

Hearing Li Qianrou's analysis, Lu Chen chuckled, "That was not intentional; I indeed plan to head south to subdue Great Qian."

"Great Qian shall be extinguished, and those Sect forces as well," he added.

Li Qianrou scoffed, "At most, you can only mobilize four Celestials, and they need to accompany you south to subdue Great Qian. I don't believe you haven't noticed the situation in Great Qian; it's impossible not to send other Celestials with you."

In Li Qianrou's view, Lu Chen could only mobilize four Celestials, and most likely, these Celestials would accompany Lu Chen south. Even if one or two were left behind, if there were many Celestial strongmen among those Sect forces, one or two might not be a match for them.

As soon as Li Qianrou finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his hand to support her chin and, looking into her eyes, said, "Who told you that I can only mobilize four Celestials?"

"Aren't you a Celestial? Not just you, my Mysterious Moon Palace also has a Honored Master. With you here, I naturally feel reassured."

"Besides, I have no plans of bringing too many Celestials south."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qianrou was momentarily stunned.

She indeed had forgotten that the Mysterious Moon Palace had another Celestial; the Mysterious Moon Palace had long been on Lu Chen's side, and if Lu Chen were in any trouble, they would definitely take action.

However, coming back to the point, it was natural for the Mysterious Moon Palace to stand by Lu Chen and help him, but why should she help Lu Chen?

Thinking this, Li Qianrou coldly said, "I am not your 'person'; why should I help you?"

"Do you really think a woman whose body you forcefully dominated will help you out when you're in trouble?"

"What do you take me for?"

Li Qianrou thought to herself, her virginity had been forcefully taken by this man, and he frequently bullied her. If she still stood up to help him, wouldn't that be degrading herself?
