Chapter 2137
I will not break my word
Xue Linglong was a little scared.
If one can live, who would want to die?
If bearing children for Lu Chen is the only way to save her life, then she has no choice but to agree to Lu Chen's request. Even if she is expelled from the Heavenly Demon Sect or considered a traitor by the sect in the future, that is a matter for the future. She must survive before she can think about the future.
Xue Linglong then said, "I am a Spirit Warrior of the Earth Realm, so it is not easy for me to have offspring."
When Xue Linglong suddenly said this, Lu Chen knew that she had been frightened by him.
Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and then he said with a smile, "I know, but as long as you try it enough times, you'll eventually get pregnant."
"Among my women, several have already borne me children."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong was stunned for a moment.
How many places have given birth to his children?
If she really agreed to Lu Chen's request, wouldn't she also get pregnant with his child?
However, on the other hand, she could simply pretend to agree and then use some tricks to prevent pregnancy.
In this way, she could save her life without having to bear his children.
If Lu Chen asks, she will say that she has a special constitution and it is not so easy for her to get pregnant.
Thinking of this, Xue Linglong said, "I can promise you that if I can't get pregnant, you can't blame me."
Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Are you thinking that you'll pretend to agree to me first, and then use spiritual energy to cleanse your body after each time you do it, so that you won't have to reproduce for me?"
Xue Linglong's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected this guy to see right through her thoughts.
After regaining her composure, she immediately said, "I will not break my word."
Lu Chen said, "Your words are not convincing at all. You are a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect. I have never heard of someone like you who practices evil arts keeping his word."
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't believe her, Xue Linglong said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "No, there is a way."
Xue Linglong asked, puzzled, "What method?"
Lu Chen said, "We can agree on a time. If you can't conceive my child within three months, it means you don't want to have my child. You should know what the consequences will be."
Hearing this, Xue Linglong was somewhat stunned.
Three months?
Are you kidding me?
Even if she really wanted to have Lu Chen's child, she might not be able to conceive in three months, even if they did it every day.
After regaining her senses, Xue Linglong immediately said, "If you want to kill me, just say so. Why pretend to give me a time? It's already difficult for Earth Realm Spirit Warriors to have offspring, let alone you who are at the Heaven Realm. It would be even more difficult for us to have offspring if we were to unite."
Lu Chen said, "Didn't I just say that several of my women already have my children?"
"They got pregnant in less than three months, and I believe you can too."
Xue Linglong fell silent, unsure of what to say.
Could it be that she really agreed to Lu Chen's request?
But it seems she has no choice now. What can she do even if she doesn't agree?
Is he really going to wait until three months later to be killed by Lu Chen with a single palm strike?
Seeing that Xue Linglong didn't speak, Lu Chen said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes. Don't worry, I'll focus all my energy on you for the next three months and make sure you get pregnant."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do about it.
That bastard is inhuman.
Even if Lu Chen could really get her pregnant within three months, he would definitely be doing things with her like crazy. Wouldn't I be driven crazy by this guy during those three months?
She now truly regrets voluntarily venturing into this desolate place, which led her to encounter this nemesis.
She had absolutely no way to deal with a scoundrel like Lu Chen.
If it were any other prestigious sect's chosen one who captured her, they would definitely try to extract benefits from her. After all, she is the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect. If they used her as a hostage, they could exchange her for a lot of rare and precious treasures. They wouldn't even think about making her bear children. Only this scoundrel would want to get her pregnant. This guy really has no fear of death whatsoever.
At this moment, Lu Chen rolled over and pinned her down, then looked into her eyes and said, "Alright, three months isn't a short time, but it's not a long time either. We need to hurry."
Xue Linglong hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She was tortured to the point of near death by this guy last night, and this bastard actually tried to assault her again.
For the next month, Lu Chen worked with Xue Linglong.
Ji Yunmeng led the Great Zhou army to wipe out all the foreigners within the Great Zhou territory, as well as the forces established by those foreigners.
As the outsiders were driven out, the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to gradually recover.
During this process, Ji Yunmeng gradually discovered that the strange and evil spirits within the Great Zhou territory had not decreased; on the contrary, those strange things had become more and more blatant.
Ji Yunmeng later sent people to investigate and discovered that all the strange and evil spirits were backed by the same force called the Heavenly Fortune Sect.
The Heavenly Fortune Sect is controlled by the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.
This greatly shocked Ji Yunmeng.
How did Lu Chen manage to command the supernatural and evil spirits?
Could it be that he himself is also a strange being?
Ji Yunmeng did not continue to investigate. Now that she knew that those strange and evil spirits were related to Lu Chen, she was too lazy to care about them, as long as they did not cause trouble.
Moreover, those strange creatures seem to have learned to coexist peacefully with humans.
Gradually, the work of the Town Ghost Division also underwent some changes.
In the past, the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts would arrest any strange creatures they saw and kill any evil spirits they encountered.
Nowadays, the Zhenguisi (镇鬼司) primarily mediates conflicts between the supernatural, evil spirits, and humans.
Of course, if any strange or evil spirits harm people, the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts will deal with them as well.
The Imperial Palace.
The Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Pei Shuhua sat beside the crib, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.
She had also heard about Chen Min and the others. Most of the people from Qionghua Holy Land had been arrested. Among the disciples sent to the borderlands by Qionghua Holy Land, besides Chen Min, she was the only one who was still free.
Moreover, according to Lu Chen, she is the only one in the Qionghua Holy Land who can enter the ancient ruins.
During this time, she had actually been thinking of sneaking out of the palace and trying to get into the ruins.
But she was afraid of being discovered by Lu Chen.
Now she spends all her time in the palace taking care of the children, and there's nothing else she does.
Looking at Lu Xinxin giggling at her in the crib, Pei Shuhua sighed softly.
What kind of situation is this?
She was once a proud daughter of the Holy Land, but now she's a housewife, spending all her time taking care of the children.
If this matter were to reach the Qionghua Holy Land, she would certainly be regarded as a disgrace to the Qionghua Holy Land.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back to Qionghua Holy Land again; it's all that bastard's fault.
That scoundrel has disappeared somewhere. I haven't seen him for the past month. Could it be that he's abandoned his wife and daughter?
Just then, a maid approached her and said, "Your Highness, someone has secretly delivered a letter to you." (End of Chapter)
