“It’s been over two months since we last saw each other, do you miss me that much?”
Being stared at so directly by Lu Chen, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt her body becoming more restless. A watery gleam quickly surfaced in her eyes, and with a blush heating her cheeks, she said, “Prince, stop teasing your consort, let me serve you.”
Lu Chen immediately wrapped his arms around Zhou Xiaoxiao’s slim waist and whispered in her ear, “Since you’re so eager, Xiaoxiao, I won’t hold back.”
Then Lu Chen captured Zhou Xiaoxiao’s red lips, fostering a deep connection with her.
Originally, Lu Chen had planned to go see Yelv Nanyan – earlier in the study, Chu Yuqin had ignited a fire within him. Since becoming a Grandmaster, he had never felt so agitated.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was just an ordinary person, and Lu Chen did not want to seek her out in his almost frenzied state, lest she couldn’t withstand it.
However, after giving it some thought, he realized that precisely because Zhou Xiaoxiao was an ordinary person, she was more likely to get pregnant.
If he were to go to Yelv Nanyan, even if he stayed with her for a night, it was quite possible that she wouldn’t conceive his child. Hence, Lu Chen simply decided to come to Zhou Xiaoxiao.
His main goal in teasing his daughter just now was to calm himself down and soothe the wild emotions inside him so that Zhou Xiaoxiao could withstand what was to come.
But soon, Lu Chen discovered that even though he had calmed down a bit just now, as soon as he thought about what had happened in the study before, his emotions became agitated once again.
[Host has developed a deeper relationship with Zhou Xiaoxiao once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience value increased by 60, Rejuvenating Skill experience value increased by 60, Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell experience value increased by too.]
[Congratulations, Host, Zhou Xiaoxiao is pregnant with your child, and you have been rewarded with 50,000 tons of breeding corn.]
[The pregnancy reward is an encouragement. It is hoped that the Host will ensure the child’s safe birth as much as possible, as a safe birth will lead to even richer rewards.]
Upon hearing the system prompt, Lu Chen’s lips curled up slightly. It was indeed not a wasted trip; coming to Dazhou was the right choice.
Even though the reward wasn’t much, as long as Zhou Xiaoxiao was pregnant with his child, that was all that mattered. The rewards for the birth would be most significant.
And the breeding corn was good too. When North City opened up new farmland next year, it would be the perfect time to plant corn.
He now had potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn – three types of staple crops. Once North City sowed these crops, the food problem would be solved.
Agriculture is the foundation, and the people must not go hungry, or else his next step in the industrial plan would be completely impossible to execute.
As for the sorghum seeds he had obtained not so long ago, they could also be planted next year. Sorghum could be used to brew alcohol, and with so much land in North City, especially the wasteland, he could plant whatever he desired.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao lay in Lu Chen’s arms, and she could clearly feel that he wasn’t fully satisfied. She then whispered softly, “Prince, your consort… your consort can still continue…”
It wasn’t easy for Lu Chen to visit, so how could he be content with just that? Zhou Xiaoxiao feared disappointing Lu Chen and that he might not return next time.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were daughters of a convicted official, so both of them were very cautious around Lu Chen and always rather sensitive. They both had a pleasing-type personality, with everything centered around Lu
Chen.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s words, Lu Chen smiled faintly, gently caressing her jade back, “No need, you’re already pregnant with my child.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Pregnant?
So soon?
Although she didn’t understand the specifics of pregnancy, she knew it took some time for a woman to conceive; they had just made love and she was already pregnant?
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked in disbelief, “Prince, am I truly pregnant?”
Lu Chen replied, “Yes, you are. I am a disciple of the immortal, trained in Immortal Law, so I can accelerate your pregnancy.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen mention ‘immortal,’ Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately realized, that made sense. Lu Chen was an immortal, and anything related to him naturally seemed logical.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was now reassured, and the thought of carrying Lu Chen’s child again filled her heart with immense joy.
Last time, she hadn’t been able to bear Lu Chen a son, which had always troubled her. Now that she was once again pregnant with Lu Chen’s child, she was determined to give birth to a son for him this time.
Although Lu Chen did not care whether he fathered a son or a daughter, it mattered greatly to her. Without a son, she always felt that she had no standing in the Prince’s Mansion.
Just then, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the warm current that had appeared in her body and curiously asked, “Prince, there was a warm current in my body just now. Is that related to you?”
Lu Chen replied, “Yes, starting today, you, Zixuan, and Youyou will be able to practice the Immortal Law as well.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s reply, Zhou Xiaoxiao wore a look of disbelief. She got up and gazed at Lu Chen, who was lying on the bed, and asked, “Prince… Are… Are you serious? Can I too become an immortal?”
Women are extremely concerned about their age; everyone is afraid of growing old, especially the women in the North Prince Mansion.
Lu Chen was already a Grandmaster and a disciple of an immortal. He had a great chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm and might even become an immortal someday; perhaps he would remain youthful forever.
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s constant worry was that she would grow old one day and that once old, Lu Chen would no longer fancy her. No one knew what her future would be like then.
So, when she heard Lu Chen say that she could practice the Immortal Law, the first thing Zhou Xiaoxiao thought of was becoming an immortal, forever youthful and beautiful.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao so excited, Lu Chen lifted his hand and caressed her cheek, answering, “Becoming an immortal isn’t easy. I might not become one either, but ensuring you live a few hundred more years and remain youthful and beautiful should still be possible.”
After listening to Lu Chen’s words, Zhou Xiaoxiao was not disappointed. Living a few hundred more years and maintaining her youth and beauty was already quite satisfactory; she knew that only a Grandmaster could live for hundreds of years.
Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately said, “Thank you, Prince, for bestowing the chance of immortality upon me!”
“I shall endeavour to practice diligently from now on…”
As she was speaking, Zhou Xiaoxiao paused. Although Lu Chen had said she could practice the Immortal Law, she had no idea how to go about it.
Then Zhou Xiaoxiao curiously asked, “Prince, how shall I practice the Immortal Law?”
Lu Chen replied with a smile, “Weren’t we just practicing it a moment ago?”
This-
Hearing Lu Chen’s response, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s face flushed a deeper red, spreading to her neck.
So that was practicing the Immortal Law…
Wiry did she feel this Immortal Law was somewhat indecent?
Lu Chen then pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao’s delicate body into his arms and, holding her, said, “Alright, don’t think too much about it.”
Seeing that was all Lu Chen had to say, Zhou Xiaoxiao softly hummed an affirmation and said no more.
After a while of intimacy, the voice of a maidservant sounded at the door.
“Prince, Lady Wang is looking for you.”
Hearing the words, the pair that was cuddled close snapped back to reality. Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately said to Lu Chen, “Prince, if Sister Wang is looking for you, it must be for something important. You should go and tend to it.”
Lu Chen stood up, kissed Zhou Xiaoxiao on the lips, and then said, Alright, my treasure. Rest well; I shall take my leave.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao then helped Lu Chen dress. Once he was clothed and stepped out, he saw a seductive figure at the entrance of the northern courtyard.
Wang Qingci was dressed in a red Cloud Attire with a white fur over her shoulders. She leaned slightly against the doorpost, exuding allure.
Upon seeing Lu Chen emerge, Wang Qingci immediately said, “Prince, it’s my fault. I didn’t know you were busy. Why don’t you continue what you were doing, and I can report to you later?”
After a glance at Wang Qingci’s voluptuous figure, Lu Chen smiled slightly, “No, your timing is perfect. Let’s go to your room; I have matters to discuss with you as well.”
