Despite Yun Qingshuâs feelings for Lu Chen, her feelings were not born from physical attraction, but rather from gradually discovering what kind of person Lu Chen was after spending a long time together.
This feeling came from the depths of her heart, and it wasnât because she was conquered by Lu Chen, so her relationship with Lu Chen was different from some of his other wives, in that she wasnât always obedient to him.
Moreover, she often had complaints about Lu Chenâs constant teasing, even after reaching the Chaotic Sea, she had clashed with Lu Chen physically several times.
Of course, the ultimate result was that she was severely subdued by Lu Chen, and she was the last of Lu Chenâs women to be sealed inside the Reincarnation Stone.
Although Yun Qingshu was a bit cold, like Lie Hongyun, always maintaining a demeanor of keeping strangers at bay, it was precisely because of this that during the tens of thousands of years she accompanied Lu Chen, his time in the Chaotic Sea wasnât so boring.
Whenever Lu Chen thought about the time in the Chaotic Sea with Yun Qingshu, when he subdued her and she cursed at him as a scoundrel while softly whimpering, he felt those years werenât so painful after all.
Upon hearing Yun Qingshuâs words, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Who made you follow me, this scoundrel, to the Chaotic Sea back then?"
"If you hadnât followed me to the Chaotic Sea, your days would probably be much better than now, and you wouldnât be bullied by me."
Even though Yun Qingshu was driven out of the Mysterious Moon Palace, her talent was ranked among the top in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, and wherever she went, any force would welcome her joining. She might even have had the possibility of becoming the second forceâs Saintess.
That life was indeed much better than the current one.
Unfortunately, when Lu Chen asked her to leave back then to find a better place, she still resolutely chose to flee to the Chaotic Sea with him.
Yun Qingshu coldly replied, "I just want to see your miserable ending."
Lu Chen was unmoved, knowing very well what Yun Qingshu was thinking. She was inherently a woman who wouldnât succumb to anyone, even if she liked someone, she wouldnât be completely compliant.
A sharp tongue but soft-hearted.
Lu Chen then said, "Youâve witnessed my miserable plight, but your days arenât good now either, why bother?"
Yun Qingshu replied expressionlessly, "As long as your days arenât good, I am happy."
Lu Chen said, "Alright, alright, as long as youâre happy."
At this point, Lu Chen got up from the bed, and seeing him rise, Yun Qingshu asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
She didnât know where they were now, as she was already swallowed into the belly of the Chaos Beast before reincarnation, but she believed Lu Chen knew. Since Lu Chen had regained memories of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, he probably had clues about leaving this universe.
Lu Chen said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, we are now inside something called the Chaos Beastâs belly. The so-called era tribulation is just the Chaos Beast scheming to refine me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshu was momentarily stunned.
Chaos Beast?
She had never heard of such a thing.
Seeing Yun Qingshuâs bewildered look, Lu Chen continued, "The essence of the era tribulation is the Chaos Beast forcing me to reincarnate through the tribulation, to weaken my Divine Soul Power, thereby achieving the goal of refining me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshu understood, then asked, "Whatâs the matter with those Heavenly Demons?"
Lu Chen said, "If I guessed correctly, those Heavenly Demons are likely related to that woman."
"That woman?" Yun Qingshuâs tone became especially icy, making the space within the Red Flower Sedan significantly colder.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "When I was swallowed by the Chaos Beast, I encountered a senseless woman in the Chaotic Sea, and fought with her for countless years. Later, the Chaos Beast ambushed both of us, bringing us inside its belly."
"After entering the Chaos Beastâs belly, that woman regained her senses, and only then did I realize she was originally one of the Immortal Emperors who ventured to the Chaotic Sea. After entering the Chaotic Sea, she lost her way and was eventually corrupted by the Chaotic Power, losing her mind and becoming a walking corpse."
Yun Qingshu immediately grasped the key information in this, and asked, "So in the Chaos Beastâs belly, we wonât be corroded by the Chaotic Power?"
Lu Chen said, "You could say that, but itâs not absolutely safe here. My Divine Soul Power is very weak now, and if we donât leave soon, I might not reincarnate in my next life but be directly refined by the Chaos Beast."
After listening to Lu Chen, Yun Qingshuâs brow furrowed. If thatâs the case, Lu Chen must find a way out this lifetime, but is he a match for the Chaos Beast?
Seeing a hint of worry on Yun Qingshuâs face, Lu Chen leaned forward, lifted his hand to caress Yun Qingshuâs jade-like cheek, looking into her eyes, he said, "Donât worry, I will defeat the Chaos Beast and take you all out."
"Then Iâll let you give me seventeen or eighteen plump sons."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshu frowned, then coldly replied, "Stop bragging, defeat the Chaos Beast first."
Lu Chen said, "Oh? So youâre agreeing to give me seventeen or eighteen plump sons?"
Without hesitation, Yun Qingshu turned her head away, evading Lu Chenâs grasp, and no longer paid him any attention.
Having been teased by this scoundrel for countless years, whether she wanted children wasnât for her to decide as this guy never sought her consent before doing such things.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, without continuing to tease Yun Qingshu, and said, "Alright, the era tribulation is about to arrive, I should go out to meet it."
As his words fell, Lu Chen departed directly from the Red Flower Sedan. Upon leaving its space, he found the void already covered with green liquid, countless Immortal Boats were heading towards the Great Sum Empire, with people from various major forces in the universe hoping to enter the Great Sum Empireâs barrier to escape.
Lu Chen glanced at those who were fleeing, then opened a passage in the barrier, allowing them to enter.
As more and more Great Emperors entered the Great Sum Empire, the Qi Fortune of the empire grew increasingly rich, and the increase in Qi Fortune caused Lu Chenâs strength to rise rapidly.
At this moment, Lu Chen could distinctly sense the presence of the Heavenly Dao, of course, this so-called Heavenly Dao was a consciousness manifested by the Chaos Beast, which is Xuan Tian.
Lu Chen then exited the barrier of the Immortal Spirit Umbrella, entering the void, preparing to resist those green soul-devouring forces.
Just then, waves of dark power spread like water ripples from afar.
Next, a melodious sound of a zither echoed in the void.
