Chapter 1333: Chapter 1023: A Reminder from Empress Tianhong

Seeing Mu Zixuan’s shy state, Lu Chen smiled slightly. He could clearly sense the restless spiritual power within Mu Zixuan and the others.

He also guessed that Mu Zixuan and the others were probably influenced by his Creation Dao, which is why they became so interested.

Lu Chen raised his glass with his main hand, took another sip of wine, then patted Mu Zixuan’s buttocks and said, “Zixuan, do whatever you want.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Zixuan’s cheeks turned even redder, almost dripping with redness.

The people still sitting in the hall were generally those with thin skin. While they also wanted to interact with Lu Chen, they felt a bit uncomfortable with such a crowd.

However, after getting Lu Chen’s affirmation, Mu Zixuan finally chose to place her fair hand on Lu Chen’s chest, then slowly moved it downward, teasing his interest.

Before long, Mu Zixuan was entirely wrapped in Lu Chen’s embrace. However, Lu Chen did not forget to ask his wives and concubines about the events that had occurred over the past few years, especially regarding the children.

In the Imperial Study Room, while reviewing the political report, Lu Chen sighed deeply from time to time, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness, making it seem as if he was doing something significant.

Influenced by Lu Chen, Bai Qingqing’s cold face was blushing.

Lu Chen suddenly looked up at Bai Qingqing beside him. She was dressed in a white, tight-waisted slit long dress with a high ponytail, her slender jade legs faintly visible between the dress hem.

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s body trembling slightly, Lu Chen laughed and said, “Bai, you are not behaving! You are daydreaming in the Imperial Study Room.”

Hearing Lu Chen say exactly what she was thinking, Bai Qingqing felt incredibly embarrassed. She had not had such thoughts during the years Lu Chen was in seclusion.

But somehow, ever since Lu Chen emerged today, some of her internal desires had become active.

She felt that if this continued, she might lose control of herself.

At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly reached out his hand and pulled Bai Qingqing into his embrace.

Bai Qingqing was slightly stunned. Lu Chen then held Bai Qingqing’s jade face and kissed her scarlet lips.

Bai Qingqing did not resist. Instead, she raised her slender jade arms and wrapped them around Lu Chen’s arm.

Lu Chen thought to himself that it seemed trying to use four minds at once today was a bit difficult. He would have to focus on one task today.

After about five days, Lu Chen finally alleviated the longing of his wives and concubines for him. He then had the body in the Imperial Study Room continue to review the Great Sum’s political reports.

When Lu Chen resumed reviewing the political reports, he sensed two powerful auras suddenly appearing in the Tianchen World. The Lu Chen in the Imperial Study Room immediately left, appearing in the sky.

Just as he flew into the air, he saw Pei Tianlu, covered in injuries, greet Empress Tianhong with a gloomy face, “Thank you for your guidance, senior!”

Pei Tianlu didn’t know how he managed through the past few days. He initially thought the sparring was because Empress Tianhong had just broken through and wanted to experience the Great Emperor’s power.

But as soon as they reached a Death Star Domain, Empress Tianhong chased him with the Sword of Slaughter condensed by the Power of Slaughter. He didn’t even know when he had offended her.

The most critical problem was that he was no match for Empress Tianhong at all. Even though he exerted his full strength, he couldn’t withstand her attacks.

She was too ferocious.

She was indeed a Great Emperor who proved her Tao through slaughter.

At this moment, Empress Tianhong’s face was cold. She had been oppressed by Lu Chen for years, and her accumulated anger had not completely dissipated. However, after the sparring with Pei Tianlu, she felt slightly better.

Lu Chen glanced at Empress Tianhong and then at Pei Tianlu. Just as he was about to say something, Pei Tianlu greeted him, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Lu Chen said indifferently, “Rise.”

“Elder Pei, are you alright?”

With that, Lu Chen approached Pei Tianlu and used his spiritual power to examine him.

The inspection shocked Lu Chen. Not only was Pei Tianlu injured in his physical body, but even his divine soul had suffered considerable damage.

Lu Chen glanced at Empress Tianhong again. She was unscathed. This wasn’t sparring; it was sheer one-sided beating.

Lu Chen could also see that Empress Tianhong was venting the anger accumulated over the years. He felt a bit guilty and patted Pei Tianlu’s shoulder, saying, “Elder Pei, you’ve worked hard.”

As he spoke, Lu Chen used Life Force to heal Pei Tianlu’s injuries. In just a moment, all of Pei Tianlu’s wounds had disappeared, including the damaged divine soul.

Realizing that he had recovered, Pei Tianlu quickly said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Hmm, Elder Pei, go back and rest well.”

Pei Tianlu said, “This subordinate takes his leave.”

With those words, Pei Tianlu’s body instantly vanished, his speed so fast it seemed like he was fleeing.

After Pei Tianlu left, Lu Chen waved his hand, and he and Empress Tianhong returned to her palace.

Entering the palace, Lu Chen asked playfully, “Honghong, have you vented your anger now?”

Empress Tianhong didn’t even look at Lu Chen. She went straight to the soft couch to sit and meditate, cultivate.

Seeing Empress Tianhong ignoring him, Lu Chen wasn’t angry. He also sat down beside the soft couch, gazing sideways at Empress Tianhong’s icy, stunning jade face.

“Honghong, you are carrying a child now. You must not engage in vigorous activities anymore.”

Empress Tianhong still ignored Lu Chen. She was full of anger. Being a Great Emperor who mastered slaughter now meant giving birth to a child for a lecher.

Slaughter, to an extent, represents death, while childbearing is related to the Life Dao. In some respects, giving birth represents deviating from her cultivated path.

Although she agreed to repay cause and effect, she still felt somewhat troubled.

Lu Chen also realized the true reason for Empress Tianhong’s resistance to childbearing. But there was no other way. Since the child was already conceived and he succeeded in proving Tao through the process, he couldn’t just abandon her.

As for Empress Tianhong, he would compensate her as much as possible.

Seeing that Empress Tianhong still ignored him, Lu Chen was about to say something more when she suddenly spoke, “An empire has discovered the Daxia Dynasty. You have a lot of tasks ahead.”

Upon hearing Empress Tianhong’s reminder, Lu Chen asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Empress Tianhong, with her eyes closed, replied, “While sparring with Pei Tianlu, I sensed an approaching Great Emperor towards the Daxia Dynasty.”

If it weren’t for sensing the approach of a Great Emperor, Empress Tianhong wouldn’t have ended the sparring so quickly. She anticipated an imminent real battle, so she ended the sparring early to recover.

Mastering the Slaughter Path made her especially sensitive to wars, and she sensed a potential imminent conflict.

At this moment, Lu Chen’s expression turned a few shades graver. He had no doubt about the truth of Empress Tianhong’s words. Since she warned him, it was likely true.
