Xue Linglong stared at the object in the distance, barely believing her eyes, and muttered to herself, "Itās actually like this..."
She didnāt finish her sentence, but deep down she was already thinking about retreating. It was her first time using the Goddess Skill with such intensity, and she was somewhat worried.
Seeing Xue Linglong standing there dumbfounded, Lu Chen wondered if she was considering withdrawing.
This wouldnāt do; they had come this far, how could she think of retreating now.
Lu Chen pondered whether he should simply stop acting if Xue Linglong really decided to withdraw.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Linglong decided to continue.
However, an idea struck her and she said to Lu Chen, "Come, use your past experience to please me."
Xue Linglong thought that since Lu Chen was under her charm and lacked any self-awareness, she might as well drop the act and refer to herself as āmeā.
Thinking about being served by a Son of Destiny made Xue Linglongās heart swell with pleasure.
Lu Chen chuckled. The enchantress sure knew how to enjoy life, actually wanting him to serve her.
Initially, he pretended to be charmed to see what Xue Linglong, the enchantress, would do. To his surprise, she bluntly asked him to serve her.
Fine then, he would grant her wish.
Lu Chen feigned a dazed look and said, "I understand."
Xue Linglong quickly slipped off her embroidered shoes and lay down beside Lu Chen. While she was curious about what he was going to do, Lu Chen suddenly turned over and kissed her red lips.
"Mm..."
...
At the same time.
Mu Zixuan was waiting in the Wind Cloud Court when a maid came in and said, "Your Highness, the Prince has asked you to wait for him in the study and not to go back to the courtyard from earlier."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan smiled faintly, immediately understanding Lu Chenās intentions.
She replied without delay, "I understand. You donāt have to go back either; just stay with me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Mu Zixuan did not go to the study to wait for Lu Chen. She knew that he was likely to be busy today and wouldnāt go to the study or even come back for dinner.
Obviously, what he had said to the maid was meant for Xue Linglong. He wanted Xue Linglong to know that no one would disturb them that afternoon.
...
At this very moment.
Inside a room in the North Prince Mansion.
Xue Linglong wanted to get up, but Lu Chen pinned her down, rendering her immobile. She then commanded in a demanding tone, "Huff...get...get off me now!"
However, as soon as Xue Linglong finished speaking, Lu Chen acted as if he was unfazed, completely ignoring her command. Xue Linglong was baffled.
How could this be...?
Wasnāt he already charmed by her? Why would he suddenly lose control and not obey her commands?
This couldnāt go on ā her consciousness was about to collapse.
She could clearly feel that her cultivation state was rapidly improving, her power growing incessantly, but this enhancement was now beyond her control.
When she began kissing Lu Chen, the feeling was marvelous, and her body felt ecstatic.
However, she soon realized that something was wrong. As she exerted her power to use the Goddess Skill on Lu Chen, the spiritual power within his body surged crazily into hers, overwhelming her senses.
She quickly lost control over her body as Lu Chen led her on, making her utterly powerless to resist.
Although she felt no discomfort, the experience was too surreal, which frightened Xue Linglong, prompting her to want to break away from Lu Chen. But no matter what she tried, she couldnāt push him away; instead, she seemed to become a plaything toyed with by him.
Xue Linglong became increasingly terrified, but gradually, she forgot her fear, forgot everything.
When evening came.
During dinner, Mu Zixuan sent a maid to check on Xue Linglongās condition, and after receiving her report, she said to Chu Yuqin and the others, "The Prince probably wonāt come back for dinner tonight; letās eat without him."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli pouted and said, "The Prince is so bold, daring to lay hands on that woman. Putting aside the possibility that she might be from the Demon Sect, she is openly the Crown Princess Consort after all. If word got outā¦"
Chu Qingli stopped herself.
Chu Yuqin spoke calmly, "Chenāer knows what heās doing, Qing Li, thereās no need for you to worry."
Chu Qingli commented, "Thinking about it, he didnāt even spare Sister once, so thereās probably no woman in this world he wouldnāt dare touch."

Hearing this, the beautiful Chu Yuqinās cheeks tinged with a hint of red. She too had never expected to end up in the Princeās harem.
Chu Yuqin changed the subject, "Zixuan, didnāt you say that thereās too much industry under the Princeās Mansion for you to manage alone? Have you spoken to Chenāer about this?"
Mu Zixuan replied, "I have. The Prince plans to have Princess Wu assist me in managing the North Prince Mansionās industries."
This...
When Mu Zixuan provided her answer, Chu Yuqin was momentarily stunned. She had not expected Lu Chen to dare entrust the mansionās industries to an outsider who hadnāt even officially entered the household. Wu Junwan was still the Princess of Great Wu; wasnāt he afraid that the secrets of the North Prince Mansionās industries could potentially be leaked out?
Seeing Chu Yuqin speechless, Mu Zixuan added, "Sister Chu, I know what youāre worried about, but rest assured, the Prince isnāt foolish. If he believes that Princess Wu would not betray the North Prince Mansion, then she surely wonāt betray us."
