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

As Lu Chen emitted a bluish-black light, he suddenly felt his body filled with power. This feeling was extremely comfortable, and he felt that he could do whatever he wanted all night.

Lu Chen then continued to circulate the "Spiritual Fiend Body Refining Technique," allowing the spiritual fiend energy to flow through all parts of his body, constantly tempering his physical form.

As Lu Chen accelerated the circulation of the "Spiritual Fiend Body Refining Technique," he also discovered that tearing pains were coming from all parts of his body again. In order to distract himself and forget the pain, Lu Chen could only speed up his work.

Lu Chen is currently experiencing both pain and joy.

Although Lu Chen shifted his attention and used the joy to offset the pain brought by the Spirit Tempering Body, Bai Qingqing suffered the consequences.

Although she was a mid-stage Human Realm Spirit Warrior, she was still a woman, and one who was experiencing this kind of thing for the first time.

However, Bai Qingqing soon discovered that Lu Chen's actions were not entirely without benefit to her. After Lu Chen had a lot of purified spiritual energy that entered her body, it became very easy for her to refine this spiritual energy, and absorbing this spiritual energy was painless.

Similarly, her cultivation level was also slowly improving. A word involuntarily popped into Bai Qingqing's mind: Could this be the legendary "dual cultivation"?
However, she remembered that dual cultivation usually required a so-called dual cultivation technique. Lu Chen was just an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts, so where would he get any dual cultivation technique?
Of course, it is strange in itself that Lu Chen is able to draw spiritual energy into his body. Bai Qingqing plans to investigate this matter thoroughly first thing tomorrow morning to see what is going on.

Lu Chen has become so strange since he lost his memory. It's not surprising that amnesia can cause personality changes, but it's impossible for his body to change as well. Ordinary people can't resist the erosion of spiritual energy unless they take some medicine. But medicine can't make a person absorb spiritual energy so frantically. At most, it can only ensure that the spiritual energy won't have too much of an impact on the body in the short term.

Lu Chen's situation clearly has a major problem.

Bai Qingqing even began to doubt whether the Lu Chen in front of her was the real Lu Chen.

At this moment, Bai Qingqing glanced at Lu Chen's side out of the corner of her eye and noticed a mole there. Judging from this mole, the man on her body was indeed Lu Chen.

After confirming Lu Chen's identity, Bai Qingqing started to have wild thoughts again. However, Lu Chen suddenly became even more ruthless, making it impossible for her to think.

……

The long night finally passed, and in the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the window, illuminating the beauty's disheveled hair.

Lu Chen slightly opened his eyes and saw Bai Qingqing's cool and elegant face facing him. Bai Qingqing's clear eyes were fixed on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

At this moment, Bai Qingqing really wanted to ask Lu Chen why he was able to draw spiritual energy into his body without any problems. Most importantly, not only was he unharmed, but he also successfully broke through to become a spiritual warrior in the early stage of the mortal realm.

Even though she was very curious about these things, Bai Qingqing didn't ask. In her opinion, Lu Chen would definitely not tell her these things, or rather, the person who helped Lu Chen become a Spirit Warrior and gave Lu Chen the cultivation technique would not allow her to reveal his secrets.

At this moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer, my wife? You woke up so early."

Seeing Lu Chen's smug smile, Bai Qingqing felt a mix of emotions. She simply couldn't reconcile the Lu Chen of today with the Lu Chen who used to hide whenever he saw her.

Lu Chen used to be terrified of her, but now he's so ruthless towards her. Just thinking about last night's madness made Bai Qingqing's cheeks flush.

Bai Qingqing immediately said, "We should go see the King." Lu Chen said, "You still haven't gotten into character. You should call him Father now."

At this point, Lu Chen turned over with Bai Qingqing in his arms, looking down at her clear yet cold eyes once more. "My wife, I don't think I disappointed you last night, did I?"

Faced with Lu Chen's question, Bai Qingqing didn't know how to answer. She looked away, not daring to look Lu Chen in the eye.

Last night, she could clearly feel that Lu Chen seemed to know her body better than she knew her own, as if they had been married for a long time.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing didn't speak, Lu Chen lowered his head again and kissed Bai Qingqing's red lips directly. This time, Bai Qingqing didn't even offer any symbolic resistance. She had been tormented by Lu Chen for so long last night that she was completely used to it.

However, just when Bai Qingqing thought Lu Chen was planning to do something bad during the day, Lu Chen got up directly.

They had more important things to do today. In any case, they had received the initial reward from the system. As for getting Bai Qingqing pregnant, they could take it slowly and there was no rush.

As far as he knew, it was not easy for spiritual warriors in this world to get pregnant. This was understandable, as the higher the genetic level of a life form, the more difficult it was to conceive, especially for those life forms with long lifespans, which made it even more difficult to have offspring.

The same applies to Spirit Warriors. Spirit Warriors have relatively long lifespans, so it is not easy for them to have offspring. If Spirit Warriors could easily have offspring, then this world would probably not be able to accommodate so many people long ago.

This rule applies to all worlds.

After Lu Chen stood up, he said to the maids at the door, "Come in!"

Upon hearing this, two female bodyguards entered the room. The maids in Lu Chen's courtyard had all been taken away for investigation last night and would not be back for a while, so the female bodyguards could only temporarily serve Lu Chen and the others in their washing up.

Lu Chen then spread his hands, letting the guards help him put on his clothes, and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

As one of the maids dressed Lu Chen, she said, "Your Highness, we have found the body of the maid buried in the courtyard. Our initial assessment is that the assassin killed the maid in your courtyard and then used a disguise technique to impersonate her."

Lu Chen continued, "Does anyone else have any questions?"

Lu Chen didn't believe that Xue Shi could infiltrate the Zhennan Prince's Mansion so easily. Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had declined, its secret guards were still very strong. It was unlikely that a mid-stage Human Realm assassin could have infiltrated it.

Moreover, that assassin actually killed the maid in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion and buried her body. Doing these things takes a lot of time, especially burying someone.

In fact, it would have been more efficient for the assassin to simply push the maid's body into the well. However, Lu Chen guessed that the assassin probably thought the Zhennan Prince's Mansion would draw water from the well, making the body easier to discover, so he buried it.

Lu Chen suspected that someone was working in cahoots with him to give Xue Shi, the assassin, ample time to replace the maidservant from the Zhennan Prince's mansion. (End of Chapter)
