Chapter 2120
Pei Shuhua's Child is Born
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie fell into deep thought.
Indeed, thousands or tens of thousands of years is a long time, but for these strange creatures, it is just like the blink of an eye. After all, they are immortal and indestructible, and if they fall into a deep sleep, thousands or tens of thousands of years will pass very quickly.
The thought of being ridden by this bastard for tens of thousands of years made her feel incredibly aggrieved. When had these strange creatures ever suffered such humiliation?
Seeing that Yun Yudie remained silent, Lu Chen continued, "If I help you break through to the Heaven Realm before I even break through to the King Realm, wouldn't your strength surpass mine?"
"What if you turn your back on us and try to make a move against me? I have to have a backup plan."
Seeing that Lu Chen had actually spoken his mind, Yun Yudie said no more.
Since he's already said that, he definitely won't help me break through next.
Since Lu Chen couldn't be relied on, she would have to find a solution herself.
Thinking of this, Yun Yudie got up and prepared to leave the room.
However, as soon as she walked to Lu Chen's side, Lu Chen suddenly grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Since you're already here, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Yun Yudie's face instantly turned cold, and the eerie aura emanating from her body spread outwards in all directions.
This guy isn't even going to help her improve her cultivation level, so what's she doing here?
Should she stay here and let him play with her? She's not that cheap.
Lu Chen seemed to have seen through Yun Yudie's thoughts, so he said, "Sect Leader Yun, even if I don't help you improve your cultivation now, you can still devour my life force."
"As far as I know, the more life force you devour, the stronger you become."
"Perhaps the life force you absorb now is useless, but once you break through the bottleneck, the life force stored in your body will immediately help you reach a higher realm."
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Yun Yudie felt that there was some truth to it.
Although this guy had ulterior motives and wanted to have sex with me, what he said was true.
Even though the life force she absorbed could not be converted into her own realm at this time, it was still stored in her body, and her strength was also increasing.
Thinking of this, Yun Yudie did not break free from Lu Chen's hand and let him hold her.
Seeing Yun Yudie standing there, neither speaking nor leaving, Lu Chen understood her meaning. He then embraced Yun Yudie from the front, leaned in and kissed her red lips, his large hands groping her body, loosening her clothes and gently pushing her onto the bed.
When Lu Chen came into contact with Yun Yudie, Yun Yudie no longer held back and frantically absorbed Lu Chen's life force.
Anyway, she couldn't afford to lose out; Lu Chen had to repay the humiliation she had suffered with his life force.
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Pei Shuhua lay on her soft couch, looking at her swollen belly with a worried expression.
She originally thought that the borderland restriction would disappear soon, and she would no longer have to bear children for Lu Chen.
Unexpectedly, the restrictions on the borderlands had not disappeared even when her due date arrived.
Not only have the border restrictions not disappeared, but even ancient ruins have not reappeared.
This forced her to give birth to Lu Chen's child.
At this moment, Pei Shuhua also understood the feelings that Chu Qingli had when she gave birth.
Just then, she suddenly felt her stomach wriggling, as if something was trying to come out of her lower abdomen.
Pei Shuhua immediately said to the midwives beside her, "I am about to give birth, please get ready."
Upon hearing this, the midwives and maids in the room immediately prepared to deliver the baby. After a long while, a sharp cry of a newborn baby rang out from inside the room.
Meanwhile, Ji Yunmeng stood calmly at the door.
Listening to the sounds inside the room, she peeked through the crack at the midwives and maids bustling about, but did not enter the room.
Seeing that Pei Shuhua had also given birth to a child for Lu Chen, Ji Yunmeng's emotions were very complicated.
Although she and Pei Shuhua didn't get along, Pei Shuhua was still the Empress Dowager. How should she address Pei Shuhua from now on?
Lu Chen, that scoundrel, takes in all sorts of women, even Pei Shuhua, who's so old, he doesn't let her go.
Ji Yunmeng tried to calm herself down. Since things had come to this, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. From now on, they would each deal with their own affairs.
She herself didn't spend much time with Empress Dowager Pei Shuhua.
Pei Shuhua lived in the inner palace and never went out.
Not many people know that Pei Shuhua had a child with Lu Chen. And even if others did know, they might not be able to guess that the child was Lu Chen's.
After lingering for a while, Ji Yunmeng left the Empress Dowager's palace.
At this moment, Lu Chen was absorbing the evil energy from the Ghost Pearl in the cultivation room of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Lu Chen rarely cultivated on his own initiative; he spent most of his time practicing dual cultivation techniques on women.
After all, cultivation is a very boring thing. If you can find joy in cultivation, why not?
However, dual cultivation techniques were not without their drawbacks for him.
He used to think that dual cultivation would not do him any harm, but as he and Yun Yudie cultivated together more and more often, he gradually found himself becoming more and more decadent.
He had even developed a strange dependence on those women.
This made Lu Chen feel vaguely uneasy. He felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't get together with them, and he had to maintain a close relationship with them.
However, this would cause these strange ancestors to continuously devour the life force within his body, which made Lu Chen smell a conspiracy.
Lu Chen was, after all, a powerful being who had lived for countless years. Although he was not strong enough to unravel the secrets behind the system, he was still vigilant.
Lu Chen has gradually reduced his dual cultivation these days.
Of course, reducing his dual cultivation doesn't mean he completely gave up having children; it just means he reduced the frequency of his sexual activity.
Anyway, the number of his life-giving seeds is limited, so having too many times would only be for pleasure and wouldn't help much in conceiving offspring.
Every time he had sex with his wives and concubines, he would be completely exhausted, and proper rest would actually be beneficial for conceiving offspring.
Previously, Lu Chen only pursued quantity; now, he pursues quality.
Lu Chen had been pondering a question: his daily indulgence was actually diverting his energy.
If I can refrain from touching Yun Yudie and the others for a period of time, and then wait until my body has recovered before engaging in sexual activity with them, once the life seeds have accumulated to a certain extent, as long as there are enough of them, wouldn't some of them be able to withstand the erosion of the evil spirits and survive?
In the cultivation room, the spiritual energy from the strange pearls surrounding Lu Chen's body continuously surged into his body.
In just a short while, the evil spirits inside those strange beads were completely drained.
Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty is plagued by more and more evil spirits and has no shortage of strange pearls, but with cultivation methods like Lu Chen's, no amount of strange pearls can withstand the depletion.
Just then, a system notification sounded in Lu Chen's mind: "Ding, it has been detected that Pei Shuhua has given birth to offspring for the host. One drop of Undying Blood will be awarded as a reward."
Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Chen instantly opened his eyes. (End of Chapter)
