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

Yun Xianxian inwardly complained that although the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell was generally beneficial, its negative effects greatly impeded cultivation. If not for these negative side effects, she feared she could have already leveraged Lu Chen to restore her full strength.

Under Yun Xianxian's mental guidance, Lu Chen quickly felt as if he and Yun Xianxian had become one entity. It must be said that even though they had no physical contact nor did they engage in that sort of act, Yun Xianxian's mental techniques were capable of creating an extremely realistic illusory realm.

Lu Chen truly felt as if he was doing that sort of thing with Yun Xianxian. He thought to himself that this woman had a little bit of conscience after all. During their first cultivation session, she wasn't even willing to create an illusion.

Now that she had created an illusion, at least he wouldn't find the passage of time so unbearable.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile.

In Anping City.

In a room wreathed with the fragrance of incense, a woman clad in a black silk gauze dress lay half-reclined on a beauty couch, her robe splayed to reveal her fair and smooth long legs.

Xue Linglong was hugging a quilt, her eyes misty, muttering, "My Prince..."

"Darling..."

"My Prince, your concubine..."

At that moment, an untimely voice rang out from outside the room.

"Saintess, Elder Cao has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong immediately snapped back to reality, her brows furrowing tightly and her heart filled with annoyance.

Still, she got up from the couch, made herself presentable, and then proceeded to the hall.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the hall, Xue Linglong saw a stooped, wrinkled-skinned old woman waiting for her at the center of the hall.

The moment Xue Linglong stepped into the hall, she said, "Does Elder Cao seek me out in the North simply to discuss something of significance?"

This elderly woman, named Cao Xianya, was one of the core figures of the Taiyin Divine Sect, her strength reaching the Pseudo-Celestial Realm. She rarely left the headquarters of the Taiyin Divine Sect.

Cao Xianya then spoke, "Saintess, I've heard from the Elder that you suspect the North Prince is the Son of Destiny?"

At these words, Xue Linglong's heart skipped a beat.

She immediately understood why a core figure of the Taiyin Divine Sect like Cao Xianya would come to the North Country—it must be for that dog of a man.

This was troublesome...

Xue Linglong then said, "I merely had my suspicions, but after seeing his debauchery, I dismissed my guess."

"If he were indeed the Son of Destiny, he couldn't possibly be such a lecher, keeping so many women."

"If Elder Cao is here for him, I'm afraid you will have made this journey in vain."

Smiling, Cao Xianya retorted, "That may not be the case."

"Saintess, your thinking is too narrow. Who told you the Son of Destiny has to be a person of high morals? And how do you know that everything the North Prince does isn't an act?"

Hearing this, Xue Linglong's brows furrowed slightly.

She did not believe that Lu Chen was putting on an act. That man is simply lascivious by nature, every inch the dog of a man, enjoying himself like a dog...

Yet even though she felt a slight animosity toward Lu Chen, she didn't want the Taiyin Divine Sect to make a move against him. During the months she had escaped from Yan County, she gradually realized that she had indeed broken free from the sect's shackles. Even if she betrayed the Taiyin Divine Sect, she wouldn't end up just a pool of blood.

Moreover, she had discovered she could not leave that dog of a man. At first, when departing from him, she hadn't felt anything amiss.

However, as time passed day by day, her longing for that man grew stronger. She now desperately wanted to return to his side and serve him as his woman.

Xue Linglong was also aware that she might be affected by some of Lu Chen's techniques, causing her inability to leave him. Even though she knew this deep down, she still found it impossible to stop longing for the scoundrel.

As a Demon Sect Sorceress, she had fallen in her own realm of expertise, which left Xue Linglong feeling quite vexed.

Now, she felt that compared to herself, that dog of a man seemed more like someone from the Demon Sect.
