Chapter 135: Chapter 127: Chu Qingli’s Confusion_i
Translator: 549690339 I
Chu Yuqin, accompanied by Chu Qingli, patrolled the inner yard before they headed to the north courtyard.
As they walked, she said, “Qingli, Chen’er is, after all, the Prince, so when you see him in the future, try not to keep such a stern face.”
Chu Yuqin was still somewhat worried that Chu Qingli’s strong hostility towards Lu Chen could cause greater conflict between Chu Qingli and Lu Chen.
One was her own sister, the other her own Chen’er; Chu Yuqin did not want any conflict between them.
Chu Qingli replied expressionlessly, “Sister, I’m an assassin, this is how I’ve always been, as you know.”
Hearing Chu Qingli’s response, Chu Yuqin sighed and said, “Qingli, now that you’ve left the Chu Family, your identity has changed, and you need to adapt quickly to your new role. You are no longer an assassin and cannot continue to see yourself as one.”
“If you keep a stern face and keep everyone at arm’s length, what man would marry you? How will you ever marry off in the future?”
Chu Qingli answered indifferently, “I have no plans to marry. Having sister is enough forme.”
This…
Chu Yuqin didn’t know how to persuade Chu Qingli; Chu Qingli had always been stubborn, and once she set her mind to something, she rarely changed it. It was hard to sway her.
As they talked, they entered the north courtyard, and at that moment, Chu Yuqin said to Chu Qingli, “This is the north courtyard, Zhou…”
“Good brother…”
“Ah, darling, spare me!”
Chu Yuqin hadn’t finished speaking when she heard voices coming from a room.
Chu Yuqin stopped mid-sentence.
A look of disgust immediately appeared on Chu Qingli’s face.
This was the inner courtyard; those who would do such things here didn’t need much consideration.
This guy had just been with Mu Zixuan and now he had come over here.
Does he think of nothing but women all day and night?
What kind of beast is he?
Chu Yuqin coughed and said, “Qingli, let’s go look somewhere else first.”
As she finished speaking, Chu Yuqin turned and left the north courtyard.
After leaving the north courtyard, Chu Qingli asked, “Sister, the North Prince is a martial artist, right?”
Chu Qingli had sensed the aura of a martial artist from Lu Chen at first glance. Even though Lu Chen didn’t seem like an ordinary martial artist, Chu Qingli, as an assassin, had encountered all kinds of martial artists, and could easily tell if someone was one.
Chu Yuqin replied, “Yes, Chen’er is indeed a martial artist.”
Chu Qingli continued, “Aren’t martial artists supposed to abstain from carnal pleasures? With so many women in his mansion, can he still practice martial arts?”
For most martial artists, indulgence in sensual pleasures could sap their energy considerably, and except for those who followed the demonic path, most would exercise restraint and not frequently indulge in such pleasures.
In this world, some women would rather their husbands be low-level warriors than high-quality warriors, for this very reason.
The higher the quality of the warrior, the stricter they are in abstaining from carnal pleasures. There are many who refrain from touching women for not just a year, but a decade, and marrying such warriors is akin to living a life of celibacy.
Chu Qingli could feel the strong flow of skill in Lu Chen; his strength was at least above the eighth rank, making him a high-quality warrior.
For a high-quality warrior like him to have so many women in his mansion, and for him to appear so unrestrained, Chu Qingli found it puzzling. How could he be so lustful and still manage to become a warrior of above the eighth rank at the age of sixteen or seventeen?
Blushing at Chu Qingli’s question, Chu Yuqin responded, “The martial arts that Chen’er practices are a bit special; they don’t require abstention from carnal pleasures.”
Recalling the Immortal Law that Lu Chen cultivated, which not only allowed for indulgence but might be boosted by interactions with women, Chu Yuqin felt her face grow hot.
Of course, she definitely could not tell Chu Qingli that, lest she think Lu Chen was practicing some evil martial arts.
Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Chu Qingli appeared doubtful. What kind of martial arts didn’t require one to abstain from carnal pleasures?
Could it be true?
She had never heard of such martial arts before.
It couldn’t be the yin-yang balancing arts, could it?
Without asking any further, Chu Qingli decided to closely observe the situation in the Prince’s Mansion, especially the condition of Lu Chen’s women.
If it indeed was that type of nefarious cultivation technique, she would instantly recognize the signs in Lu Chen’s women.
Yin-yang balancing techniques were extremely harmful to a woman’s health, and since several of Lu Chen’s consorts were ordinary people, they wouldn’t withstand such methods and would soon fall ill.
As long as Mu Zixuan and the others were being harmed in such a way, Chu Qingli would notice signs the next day.
Chu Qingli thought that, if she confirmed the North Prince was using such techniques, she would have to whisk her sister away promptly; she did not want her sister to be harmed by the North Prince.
[Host has cultivated feelings with Zhou Xiaoxiao once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience value increased by 20, Rejuvenating Skill experience value increased by 20, Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill experience value increased by 30.]
[Host has cultivated feelings with Zhou Youyou once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience value increased by 20, Rejuvenating Skill experience value increased by 20, Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill experience value increased by 30, Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill breaks through to the second layer.]
Lu Chen, with Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao in his arms, looked up at the system interface before him and thought that to gain more experience points, it seemed he’d have to find that “bitch.”
Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao were, after all, ordinary people, and considering they were so, Lu Chen didn’t dare to be too rough with them.
But that “bitch” was different; as someone nearly a half-step Grandmaster, Lu Chen could do as he pleased.
Lu Chen swiped through the system interface and glanced over the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill.
After breaking through to the second layer of the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill, he was able to infuse more inner strength into his wives and concubines, allowing their realms to be upgraded faster and also accelerate his own cultivation speed.
Combined with the Qi Refinement Mantra, the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill should add even more experience points.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided to give it a try.
He glanced at Dazhou and Xiaozhou, and seeing that they were already very tired, Lu Chen didn’t plan on troubling them further.
Afterward, he slowly got up, preparing to find a certain bitch.
Seeing Lu Chen getting up, the two sisters hurriedly helped him get dressed.
Meanwhile,
In a courtyard brimming with plum blossoms.
The courtyard was very quiet, and there were no maids inside.
Inside the room, a silhouette tepidly stepped into the bath with her jade-like feet.
After soaking in the tub for a while, the graceful figure came out and then, swaying her hips, went back to her beauty couch.
Admiring her long jade-like legs, the beauty sighed and said to herself, “The Young Prince probably won’t come today.”
Lu Chen has three wives and concubines, and all are properly married to him.
Wang Qingci thought that as a mere female slave, and with the princess only just back at the Prince’s Mansion, Lu Chen would naturally want to accompany the princess.
But just then, a familiar voice sounded at the door, “Who says this prince wouldn’t come today?”
As the voice fell, Lu Chen pushed the door open and saw Wang Qingci half-reclined on the beauty couch in light gauze, he chuckled and said, “As this prince’s female slave, you dare call me the Young Prince, Qingci, you have grown quite bold!”
Seeing that Lu Chen had come, not only did Wang Qingci not get up, she instead covered her mouth with her delicate fingers and said with a giggling smile, “Whether the Prince is the Young Prince or not, doesn’t this lowly one know?”
Lu Chen then closed the door and went directly to the front of the bitch, wrapping his arm around her soft waist and flipping her body.
“The Young Prince, huh? This prince thinks you have been away from this prince for too long and need a lesson!”
“You should be properly disciplined, so you know what a female slave should say and what she shouldn’t.”
At that moment, Wang Qingci twisted her head, her brows brimming with flirtation, as she was about to provoke further, she was promptly silenced with a kiss.
“Mmm…”
Chu Qingli had followed Chu Yuqin around the entire inner courtyard and planned to return to the room that Chu Yuqin had arranged for her.
At that moment, as she passed by a courtyard blossoming with plum flowers and noticed such a unique scenery, Chu Qingli subconsciously stopped and lingered for a moment.
However, at that time, she heard some faint sounds.
Not having entered the courtyard, she couldn’t make out exactly what the sounds were.
Out of curiosity, Chu Qingli then stepped into the courtyard and listened carefully.
“Good brother… this lowly one is wrong…”
“You’re not the Young Prince… you are the Great Prince…”
“This lowly one is going to die…”
Chu Qingli’s expression suddenly darkened.
She had initially thought it was some sort of sound, only to realize it was some animal indulging in wicked deeds again after all.
This guy really doesn’t do proper work, spending all day in the arms of women, right?
Chu Qingli looked disdainfully at the room the sounds were coming from and then turned to leave.
Not long after Chu Qingli had left, she encountered Mu Zixuan coming out of the courtyard.
Chu Qingli immediately said, “I’ve seen the princess.”
Mu Zixuan gave a slight smile and then asked, “Qingli, did Madam Chu arrange a place for you to stay?”
Chu Qingli replied, “Thank you for your concern, princess. Everything is arranged.”
Chu Qingli then said, “Princess, I will go on patrol now.”
“Hmm, alright.”
Then Chu Qingli continued on her way to her room, passing by Mu Zixuan.
As she walked, Chu Qingli wondered, why did Mu Zixuan not only appear unaffected by Yin-Yang Balance but seemed to have become even more beautiful? Her skin seemed to glow and had become more delicate, as if she had grown younger.
Was it her illusion?
Logically, someone who has been through Yin-Yang Balance should look exhausted and especially haggard, definitely not like Mu Zixuan.
Could it be that the North Prince did not use some Yin-Yang Balance technique?
If there were no Yin-Yang Balance, a martial artist like the North Prince who’s always in the arms of women would probably have his strength drained in a matter of days, let alone practicing martial arts.
Strange, how did he do it?
