Seeing Mu Changtian and Chu Yuqin return, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Father-in-law, Madam Chu, you’ve worked hard.”
Chu Yuqin didn’t speak; she quickly walked to Lu Chen’s side and asked with concern, “Chen’er, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Although she didn’t seem worried about the situation at the Prince’s Mansion on the way back, she was still very worried about Lu Chen’s condition.
Lu Chen was about to answer that he was fine when he suddenly thought of something, then immediately covered his chest and said with a strained expression, “Madam Chu, I’m fine, just sustained a minor injury.”
Seeing Lu Chen’s appearance, Chu Yuqin became extremely anxious, “Chen’er, do you feel unwell anywhere right now?”
Lu Chen said, “There’s no discomfort, but I feel like there’s something accumulating in my Dantian, making it hard to breathe.”
Hearing this, Mu Changtian, who was not far away, couldn’t help but become worried. He was about to say something when he heard Lu Chen say, “Commander Qin, please help to deal with the corpses in the Prince’s Mansion. I’m feeling unwell, so 1 will retire to rest first.”
At that, Lu Chen took Chu Yuqin’s jade hand in front of everyone and walked away, saying as they left, “Madam Chu, please help me regulate my condition quickly, I feel the energy inside me getting more and more obstructed.”
Seeing this scene, Mu Changtian was stunned.
After Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin left, Mu Changtian asked Qin Yushan curiously, “Commander Qin, the North Prince is alright, isn’t he?”
Mu Changtian didn’t know what was going on; he really thought that Lu Chen was seriously injured and needed Chu Yuqin’s treatment.
Hearing Mu Changtian’s question, Qin Yushan said with a smile, “Of course the North Prince is not alright.”
This…
Mu Changtian asked with confusion, “Why do you still smile when the North Prince is not alright?”
Qin Yushan countered, “General Mu, can’t you tell the North Prince only shows issues in front of Madam Chu?”
Mu Changtian was no fool; with the reminder from Qin Yushan, he quickly realized the truth.
The talk of injuries was merely an excuse.
So, could it be that the North Prince harbors other thoughts toward Chu Yuqin?
Mu Changtian quickly stopped himself from thinking further. It wasn’t his place to be concerned about such matters. It’s normal for a man to have thoughts about a beautiful woman; the North Prince is a man, after all—nothing strange there.
Mu Changtian then turned his attention to the assassin corpses scattered on the ground, and he noticed that besides the assassins’ bodies, there were no others.
Not a single soldier from the Prince’s Mansion was dead, which meant that the moment the assassins from Blood Moon Tower arrived at the Prince’s Mansion, the mansion had managed to eliminate all of the assassins without a single casualty?
How was this possible?
Mu Changtian then looked at Qin Yushan and continued to ask, “Commander Qin, why don’t 1 see the corpses of the Prince’s Mansion’s soldiers?”
Qin Yushan answered, “General Mu, not a single soldier from the Prince’s Mansion has died; where would the bodies come from?”
Hearing Qin Yushan’s answer, Mu Changtian was completely astounded; the Prince’s Mansion had truly not lost a single soldier and had wiped out all of Blood Moon Tower’s assassins!
Is this the true strength of the North Prince Mansion?
At that moment, Qin Yushan said, “General Mu, you should go back and rest well today. Tomorrow morning the Prince has matters to convene us for, and then you must also participate.”
Hearing this, Mu Changtian said, “All right, 1 will go back then.”
Afterward, Mu Changtian turned and left the Prince’s Mansion.
Meanwhile.
After arriving at the study, Lu Chen pretended to be in great discomfort.
Seeing Lu Chen in this state, Chu Yuqin said with a worried face, “Chen’er, don’t scare me, what’s wrong with you?”
Lu Chen replied, “All, just now I carelessly received a palm strike from an assassin. Commander Qin examined me and said it’s nothing serious, but for some reason, I just feel uncomfortable here in my chest.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin no longer cared about proprieties regarding physical contact between men and women, and said directly, “Quickly take off your clothes, let me have a look.”
Without another word, Lu Chen immediately began to undress, taking off his upper garments.
Chu Yuqin immediately raised her delicate hands and gently touched Lu Chen’s chest. She channeled her Inner Strength into Lu Chen’s body to help him check if there was anything wrong, but she found no problems.
Chu Yuqin muttered to herself, “Strange, 1 can’t find anything unusual either?”
With that, Chu Yuqin raised her head, her beautiful eyes locked onto Lu Chen’s as she said, “Chen’er, could it be that, like last time, there was an issue when you were training in martial arts, which has caused your inner strength to circulate poorly?”
Lu Chen replied, “That’s possible. It’s probably because that thief struck me, bringing out the hidden injuries I’ve accumulated from recent training days, making me feel the flow in my Dantian is not smooth.”
Suddenly, Chu Yuqin thought of something and said, “Didn’t you say you knew an Immortal Technique to heal the body? Why not try using it to treat yourself?”
Lu Chen sighed, “Ah, Madam Chu, it’s hard for a doctor to heal oneself, you know. My Immortal Technique can only be used to heal others, not myself.”
Chu Yuqin asked worriedly, “Then what should we do?”
Lu Chen asked with a smile, “Madam Chu, have you forgotten about the method we used last time to regulate my condition?”
This…
Chu Yuqin hesitated for a moment.
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten how she had helped Lu Chen last time, but she still felt that method was a bit improper.
Moreover, she almost made a mistake last time. If she did the same again, what if she couldn’t control herself later?
Thinking about what happened last time, a blush quickly appeared on Chu Yuqin’s elegant and dignified face as she then said, “Chen’er, is that method truly effective for your body?”
Lu Chen answered, “Didn’t we already try it last time? It’s definitely effective.”
Chu Yuqin hesitated for a moment, then said, “Alright then, let’s try again, but keep your legs away from me this time.”
As she said this, Chu Yuqin’s face became even redder, a complete image of a shy and beautiful woman.
It was okay for their upper bodies to be close, but it would be inappropriate for their lower bodies. She was also aware that Lu Chen had some feelings for her and she was worried he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
Seeing Chu Yuqin’s agreement, Lu Chen said, “Mm-hmm, I understand.”
Then, Lu Chen raised his hands and directly embraced Chu Yuqin’s waist.
Chu Yuqin’s hips were leaning against the desk, which slightly indented from the pressure.
At that moment, Lu Chen whispered in Chu Yuqin’s ear, “Madam Chu, with the Barbarian Tribe attacking this time, 1 don’t know if I’ll be able to see you all afterwards.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin quickly replied, “Chen’er, don’t speak of such ominous things. I believe you will definitely be able to defeat the Barbarian Tribe, after all, you are someone with a fate with the immortals, blessed by an Immortal!”
Lu Chen spoke with a downhearted tone, “It’s not the fear of the many, but the fear of the one.”
At this point, Lu Chen tightened his arms, hugging the Gentle Jade Fragrance in his embrace very tightly, their bodies also pressing closely together.
Chu Yuqin twisted her hips slightly, trying to avoid Lu Chen’s enthusiasm, but finding she couldn’t move at all, she let him hold her.
Just then, the distinct masculine scent from Lu Chen’s body wafted into Chu Yuqin’s nostrils, making her feel a sudden warmth all over.
Chu Yuqin grew nervous, indeed it was like last time..
