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

Chapter 408 I need you to do me a favor_1

Lu Chen firmly believed in his heart that he did nothing wrong, so he refused to believe that woman would rebuke him for his good relationship with Chen Wanrong.

At this moment, Lu Chen said to Chen Wanrong, "So the Grandmaster has arrived as well. I was wondering why it felt so chilly last night."

Chen Wanrong spoke up, "We should get up. The Grandmaster probably waited outside for us the entire night yesterday."

Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless, as he had initially planned to spend a bit more time in Chen Wanrong's tender embrace, but now they had to get up so early.

What was that woman doing, following Chen Wanrong down the mountain?

Just then, a scene emerged in Lu Chen's mind. Last time, in the study, the woman used the physical resonance between them to cultivate the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell and then regained her strength.

This time following Chen Wanrong down the mountain, she wouldn't be planning to do unto him what she did last time, would she?

Lu Chen slightly furrowed his brow, thinking that he had to find a way to give Yun Xianxian some Dragon and Phoenix Tea, making her pay a price and preventing himself from being taken advantage of like last time without any means to possess her body.

With these thoughts, Lu Chen and Chen Wanrong slowly got up, took a quick bath in the neighboring bathing chamber, and then left the room.

At this time, inside Yunrong Courtyard, Lin Wanyun was brewing tea for Yun Xianxian in the pavilion, while Yun Xianxian sat on a stone stool with an indifferent face, holding the teacup and slowly savoring the tea.

After stepping out of the room, Lu Chen immediately bowed to Yun Xianxian, saying, "Disciple pays respects to the Grandmaster!"

Yun Xianxian coldly responded, "Considering you haven't seen each other for a long time, I'll let it go this time. But if it happens again, I'll punish you by forbidding you to see each other for a year."

Yun Xianxian was feeling somewhat angry at this moment. If it were just Lu Chen, she would have let it be, as he didn't know of her arrival initially, but Chen Wanrong was different.

She had brought Chen Wanrong down the mountain, and yet, upon seeing a man, Chen Wanrong had completely forgotten about her, leaving her to stand on the roof for an entire night.

Despite her kindness towards Chen Wanrong, Chen had forgotten about her own Grandmaster the moment she had a man.

Chen Wanrong, too, noticed that Yun Xianxian might be angry with her and quickly said, "Disciple acknowledges her mistake."

Yun Xianxian replied indifferently, "Enough, I won't hold these issues against you anymore."

At that time, Lu Chen tentatively asked, "Grandmaster, may I know the reason for your descent from the mountain this time?"

Yun Xianxian replied, "I heard that there has been a large number of Martial Artists going missing within the Great Sum Realm. I suspect it may be related to the Great Sum Imperial family, so I decided to descend the mountain to investigate the situation."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected Yun Xianxian to also believe that his father might be related to the matter.

Yun Xianxian then looked at Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, if you wish to unify the world, the first step would be to seize the Great Sum throne, correct? I, along with the Mysterious Moon Palace, will support you in contending for that position. If there's anything you need, feel free to discuss it with me."

Lu Chen was somewhat incredulous at Yun Xianxian's words; this woman was actually planning to help him vie for the Great Sum throne?

So magnanimous?

A thought suddenly struck Lu Chen, and he then said, "Grandmaster, I heard that my father possesses a Sacred Artifact from your Mysterious Moon Palace. You wouldn't be supporting me in my bid for the throne just to retrieve that artifact, would you?"

Hearing Lu Chen's speculation, Yun Xianxian let out a cold laugh and then said, "You're quite astute. Indeed, I intend to take this opportunity to recover that Sacred Artifact."

Lu Chen asked, "Grandmaster, you are a Celestial. With your strength, you could simply go to the Great Sum Imperial Palace and easily retrieve the artifact. Why go through such trouble?"

Yun Xianxian answered, "I haven't yet recovered from the injuries on my body. Moreover, I can't just take action casually. If I were to act recklessly, the Heavenly Dao of this world would send down divine punishment upon me. The injury I have is a result of that."

Upon hearing Yun Xianxian's response, Lu Chen had an epiphany. So that was the case; no wonder Yun Xianxian had not gone to the Imperial Palace to take back the so-called Sacred Artifact—she didn't have the capacity to do so.

Yun Xianxian continued, "Furthermore, that item has a certain probability of elevating a Grandmaster's strength to the Celestial Realm. Although the duration is rather brief, it's not impossible to injure a Celestial."

```

"Even if I were to take action, I would need to wait until my strength has somewhat recovered,"

"The second reason for my descent from the mountain is to restore my power,"

As she spoke, Yun Xianxian's gaze was fixed on Lu Chen, making him feel a chill down his spine.

He had previously speculated whether Yun Xianxian had come down from the mountain to use his body to regain strength, and it turned out he had guessed right.

This woman truly had ill intentions, coveting his body.

Yun Xianxian continued, looking into Lu Chen's eyes, "There's also another matter, the mists in the western border are becoming unstable, and if you wish to unify the world, you'd better hurry."

"The space within the mist is extremely chaotic; no one can predict what might emerge."

Lu Chen was startled in his heart.

The mist has become unstable?

What he was most concerned about now was indeed the mist at the western border. He feared that if all the masters who emerged were at the Celestial level, his firearms would be useless.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something.

This woman telling him about the instability of the mist probably wasn't a simple reminder, was it?

By mentioning the unstable mist, she must be looking to create a sense of urgency, to emphasize the importance of the Mysterious Moon Palace. That way, he would willingly help her regain her strength.

Find adventures on empire

At this moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Since my master has already planned to help me conquer the world, your disciple offers you his gratitude."

Yun Xianxian said expressionlessly, "Spare me your verbal thanks; I need a favor from you."

Lu Chen feigned ignorance and asked, "May I ask what master refers to?"

Yun Xianxian replied, "You will know when the time comes."

Lu Chen didn't continue to question her; how could he not know what she was referring to? It was obviously about helping her recover her strength.

To be honest, he was quite willing to cultivate the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell with her, but under the condition that it would involve physical contact, not like last time in the study where he cultivated with her passively. Without that, cultivating the Dragon-Phenix Yin-Yang Spell would lose its appeal.

However, Lu Chen could also see that Yun Xianxian would never let him possess her body. In Yun Xianxian's eyes, he was nothing more than a native of a Lower World.

…

Great Sum, Capital city.

A convoy slowly entered the Capital city, its banners adorned with a crescent moon—the emblem of the Mysterious Moon Palace, signaling the arrival of some important personage from the Mysterious Moon Palace.

The Sum Emperor soon heard of this.

Sitting in his study, listening to the Shadow Guard's report, the Sum Emperor fell into deep thought.

What business does the Mysterious Moon Palace have sending someone to the Capital city at this time?

Could it be that they had discovered what he was up to?

Is the Mysterious Moon Palace seeking to trouble the royal family?
