Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue couldn't help but clench her jade fist slightly.

That bastard is now completely taking advantage of me!

If I don't agree to his request soon, the demonic power in the beast core will probably be completely lost.

Having missed this opportunity to transform into a nine-tailed celestial fox, it will likely be difficult for her to encounter such an opportunity again in the future.

Moreover, now that the Demon Emperor has recovered his cultivation, if I do not become the Immortal Emperor, once the Demon Emperor completely controls the Heavenly Dao, the entire Beast Alliance will probably be swallowed up by the Nine Heavens Academy.

She naturally didn't want to see the Beast Alliance be swallowed up by the Nine Heavens Academy. Those demons fed on cultivators, and who knew if the Beast Alliance's cultivators would become food for those demons after the Beast Alliance was swallowed up by the Nine Heavens Academy.

Only by becoming an Immortal Emperor can she truly control her own destiny and protect the entire Beast Alliance.

What she has lost now is only a little bit of dignity.

She knew very well which was more important.

However, seeing Lu Chen's confident expression, Immortal Venerable Xiyue felt extremely displeased.

She was, after all, a Celestial Venerable and the leader of the Beast Alliance, yet she had to resort to such methods to exchange for opportunities.

She would rather use her Saint-level Immortal Artifact as a bargaining chip than be humiliated by Lu Chen.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue coldly said, "You are supposed to be a powerful figure, yet you are interested in such beastly matters!"

Based on the various methods Lu Chen has demonstrated, Immortal Venerable Xiyue believes that Lu Chen is very likely the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, and his main body is now at least an Immortal Venerable, and his true strength may even be close to that of an Immortal Emperor.

But even such a powerful figure was interested in such base desires as those between men and women.

At their level, shouldn't they be thinking about how to improve their strength?

For example, she herself has never thought about men; all she thinks about is improving her strength and becoming stronger.

Lu Chen shrugged and said, "I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions."

"Alright, now state your choice. If you are unwilling, I will not bother you any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen made a gesture as if he was about to leave. Just as he turned around, Immortal Venerable Xiyue's voice came, "Wait!"

Lu Chen turned to look at Immortal Venerable Xiyue's beautiful face and asked with a smile, "Have you made up your mind?"

Seeing Lu Chen's gradually brightening smile, Immortal Venerable Xiyue couldn't help but clench her jade fist again.

I really want to beat this lecherous bastard to a pulp!
Immortal Venerable Xiyue calmed her emotions and then said, "Once!"

Without even thinking, Lu Chen refused outright, saying, "Impossible."

Immortal Venerable Xiyue immediately frowned.

Lu Chen then said, "You know how important this beast core is to you."

Immortal Venerable Xiyue coldly said, "Then what do you want?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Give me a child."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, a terrifying pressure was released from the body of Immortal Venerable Xiyue. The entire valley shook violently, and Immortal Venerable Xiyue's eight tails were revealed. The overwhelming demonic energy raged through the valley.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue glared at Lu Chen with her crimson eyes and said fiercely, "You want to die!"

Lu Chen asked, "You mean dying from pleasure?"

Immortal Venerable Xiyue felt like she was about to explode with anger. This was the first time she had encountered someone so shameless and utterly unafraid of her, daring to speak to her so bluntly. Immortal Venerable Xiyue knew that no matter how angry she was, even if she killed Lu Chen's clone with a single palm strike, it wouldn't affect Lu Chen at all.

She quickly suppressed her demonic aura and tried to calm her emotions.

After calming down, Immortal Venerable Xiyue stared straight at Lu Chen and said, "I will never allow you to have offspring."

"It is already difficult for the Immortal Venerable to reproduce, let alone you, who is human and I am a demon. Humans and demons are different, so it is even more difficult for us to reproduce."

Even for ordinary people and demons, it is not easy to reproduce, let alone for those whose cultivation has reached the Immortal Venerable Realm.

If she really agrees to have children with Lu Chen, then she will have to endure Lu Chen's oppression for countless years in order to conceive his child.

This is something she simply cannot tolerate.

Lu Chen said, "What if I give you the beast core first?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Xiyue was momentarily stunned.

If Lu Chen gives her the beast core first, then after she breaks through to become an Immortal Emperor, wouldn't she be free to keep her promise?
Even if she made a vow to Heaven, Heaven would not be able to punish her after she became an Immortal Emperor. An Immortal Emperor has the power to contend with Heaven's Dao in the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

Upon thinking of this, Immortal Venerable Xiyue's heart stirred, and she then asked, "When do you plan to give me the beast core?"

Her biggest worry now is that the demonic energy in the beast core is dissipating too quickly, making it less effective for her.

Lu Chen said, "I can give you the beast core next month."

Lu Chen didn't intend to drag it out for too long. If it dragged on too long, the beast core would be of no use to Immortal Venerable Xiyue.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Immortal Venerable Xi Yue felt somewhat incredulous. "Give it to her next month?"
She thought Lu Chen would use the beast core to threaten her for a long time.

Lu Chen then said, "If you can make a vow to Heaven now, I can give you the beast core tomorrow."

Immortal Venerable Xiyue was taken aback once again.

The thought of obtaining the beast core tomorrow stirred the demonic energy within Immortal Venerable Xiyue, causing her chest to heave faster without her realizing it.

After calming her mind, Immortal Venerable Xiyue asked, "What Heavenly Oath?"

Seeing that Immortal Venerable Xiyue had taken the initiative to ask the question, Lu Chen knew that Immortal Venerable Xiyue was already moved, so he said, "From today onwards, you are willing to have a child with me, and you must guarantee to cultivate with me twice a month until you are pregnant with my child."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Xiyue frowned and then said, "That won't do. After I obtain the beast core, I will need to refine it. It might take me hundreds or even tens of thousands of years to go into seclusion. How could I possibly cultivate with you twice a month?"

She felt incredibly insulted after just one dual cultivation session with her, and this guy actually wanted her to do it twice a month? He was simply delusional.

Moreover, she still needs to refine the beast core, so she has no time to cultivate with Lu Chen. If she doesn't refine the beast core in time, and the demonic power of the beast core dissipates, then the beast core will not be of much use to her.

Lu Chen said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. You can cultivate with me while refining the beast core."

"Moreover, cultivating with me is actually more beneficial for refining the beast core."

Xi Yue Immortal said, "I cannot agree to your request. If I do not have time to refine the beast core, even if you give me the beast core, it will be of no use to me."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, if our dual cultivation is beneficial for you to refine the beast core, then we'll cultivate together twice a month?"

"If our dual cultivation will hinder your refining of the beast core, then you must agree to any dual cultivation I want, except during your cultivation time."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Xiyue thought to herself that if that were the case, then she wouldn't have to suffer too much humiliation from Lu Chen, since dual cultivation would definitely hinder her from refining the beast core.

Once she made the vow, she would remain in seclusion, ensuring that Lu Chen would never be able to touch her. (End of Chapter)
