Chapter 1366: Chapter 1056: Shouldn’t You Repay Me?

Lu Chen’s main body was in Chu Yuqin’s room handling matters, while Lu Chen’s secondary body of the Great Emperor was in Empress Tianhong’s sleeping palace helping Empress Tianhong cultivate. Meanwhile, Lu Chen’s two Quasi-Emperor avatars were also not idle.

Currently, all four of his bodies were in a state of intense work.

However, the secondary body of the Great Emperor was the most relaxed, lying there with his eyes closed, quietly feeling.

Qingyun Dynasty.

Empress Tianhong’s sleeping palace.

A surge of magnificent Spiritual Power erupted from Empress Tianhong’s body, sweeping across the entire Qingyun Dynasty in an instant.

Upon sensing this terrifying Power of Slaughter, the cultivators of Qingyun Dynasty couldn’t help but tremble.

“Heavens, what kind of power is this? Why does it make me feel uneasy and flustered?”

“This… this is the Power of Slaughter!!!”

“This must be that Empress of Daxia Dynasty who has mastered the Power of Slaughter breaking through!”

“It’s over, it’s over. After that Great Emperor who has mastered the Power of Slaughter breaks through, will she slaughter the people of Qingyun Dynasty to cultivate?”

…

For a moment, Qingyun Dynasty was in a state of panic.

Over the years, Daxia Dynasty hadn’t troubled Qingyun Dynasty’s people, but what concerned Qingyun Dynasty wasn’t the Emperor of Daxia Dynasty. Their greatest fear was the rumored Empress wielding the Power of Slaughter.

An Empress who has mastered the Power of Slaughter must be extremely mad. Qingyun Dynasty had not yet formally merged with Daxia Dynasty and was still not Daxia Dynasty’s people, nor sheltered by Daxia Dynasty’s Qi Fortune. That Empress wielding slaughter might likely boost her power through massacring them.

Of course, this was just the belief of a part of Qingyun Dynasty. Their thoughts were mostly due to Lu Chen continuously delaying and not bringing Qingyun Dynasty under Daxia Dynasty’s rule.

Logically speaking, from the moment Lu Chen occupied Emperor Star, he already had the capability to absorb Qingyun Dynasty’s Qi Fortune, but he hadn’t done it yet, which inevitably led people to speculate.

The ability to annex a dynasty but not doing so implied that Daxia Dynasty needed this dynasty for certain purposes, things that couldn’t be done within Daxia Dynasty itself, else it might harm Daxia Dynasty’s Qi Fortune.

Coincidentally, Daxia Dynasty had an Empress with the Power of Slaughter. Having a Great Emperor massacre a dynasty would undoubtedly greatly elevate that Emperor’s strength.

Thinking of this possibility, the cultivators of Qingyun Dynasty trembled, and to prevent their anticipated disaster, the Domain Lord of Qingyun Dynasty and the officials in Qingyun Imperial Court started to take action.

Meanwhile, inside Empress Tianhong’s sleeping palace.

Lu Chen opened his eyes, gazed at Empress Tianhong’s cold and stunning jade-like face. Empress Tianhong was still stabilizing her cultivation state and adjusting her condition.

A while later, Empress Tianhong opened her phoenix eyes and slightly lowered her head to look at Lu Chen. Their gazes intertwined.

With a smile, Lu Chen said, “Congratulations.”

Empress Tianhong didn’t speak, she just quietly watched Lu Chen.

Lu Chen asked, “Do you want to continue cultivating?”

Currently, all four of his bodies were handling intense work, he needed to free up one body for significant tasks.

Another five years had passed; Qingyun Dynasty’s child born with great Qi Fortune was a few years old by now, capable of speaking. It was time for that child to transfer Qingyun Dynasty’s Qi Fortune to him.

Empress Tianhong responded coldly, “No need.”

Although cultivating with Lu Chen could rapidly enhance strength, consecutive years of such cultivation, even for a Great Emperor, were somewhat overwhelming.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and said, “I’ve helped you elevate your cultivation state, shouldn’t you repay me?”

Empress Tianhong’s brows furrowed slightly, then she asked, “What do you want to do?”

Lu Chen said, “I prefer being proactive.”

Upon hearing this, memories of Lu Chen’s actions while she was suppressed by the Red Flower Sedan, especially the animal-like imitation, immediately surfaced in Empress Tianhong’s mind.

Remembering that scene, the Power of Slaughter surged uncontrollably from Empress Tianhong, filling the sleeping palace within moments.

Seeing Empress Tianhong’s anger, Lu Chen hurriedly said, “If you don’t want to, forget it.”

Lu Chen didn’t expect Empress Tianhong to comply. He could tell Empress Tianhong’s personality was rather cold, unlike his other wives and concubines.

Those wives and concubines, initially cold to him, eventually warmed up over time and care. Their external coldness masked an interior melted by his warmth.

Empress Tianhong was different. No matter what he did, her heart couldn’t be warmed. As someone who wielded the Power of Slaughter, her interior harbored only slaughter, indifferent to romantic emotions.

Although Empress Tianhong’s favor towards him had reached ninety, it was hard to say her feelings amounted to love.

Empress Tianhong gazed into Lu Chen’s eyes for a long time before slowly saying, “Alright.”

Lu Chen couldn’t quite believe Empress Tianhong agreed.

A Great Emperor was not to be humiliated, yet Empress Tianhong had agreed?

Lu Chen asked, “Did you really agree?”

Without unnecessary words, Empress Tianhong stood up, but as soon as she moved, she realized she couldn’t rise.

Empress Tianhong immediately understood that they had been in this state too long; their Spiritual Powers had interconnected, and their cultivation techniques were autonomously running.

Stopping her cultivation technique, Empress Tianhong severed the connection with Lu Chen and then switched positions to lie down.

Seeing Empress Tianhong lie down, Lu Chen hesitated no longer, immediately flipping over to press Empress Tianhong beneath him.

Empress Tianhong’s expression remained indifferent, eyes silently fixed on Lu Chen, seeming to await his next move.

Seeing no reaction from Empress Tianhong, Lu Chen didn’t hesitate and started taking action.

His intention was merely to feel gratified, not intending to spend excessive time on this matter, especially since cultivation with Empress Tianhong often left him dissatisfied.

Next, Lu Chen refrained from running any cultivation techniques, purely focusing on the task. Empress Tianhong understood his mindset as he didn’t engage his Spiritual Powers.

Thinking of Lu Chen’s help in her breakthrough and future cultivation reliance, this small sacrifice seemed insignificant.

Just as Empress Tianhong contemplated, Lu Chen suddenly suggested, “How about you kneel?”

Empress Tianhong’s brain halted, recalling again the scene of suppression by the Red Flower Sedan, her aura rising sharply, releasing the Power of Slaughter once more.

Lu Chen laughed, “We’ve already done everything, why mind these small details.”

Empress Tianhong coldly questioned, “What do you take me for?”

Lu Chen calmly replied, “My woman.”

Empress Tianhong continued, “I’m not your plaything.”

Lu Chen said, “It’s a normal thing people do, it has nothing to do with being a plaything.”

“Forget it, if you don’t want to, then fine.”

Lu Chen dropped the topic, continuing his business.

Suddenly, Empress Tianhong said, “Get up.”

Lu Chen paused, then rose, and Empress Tianhong surprisingly complied with his request.
