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

Zhou Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said confidently, "Master, Lu Chen does indeed possess boundless vitality. This has been verified by your subordinate and the Left Protector."

"Although I don't understand why he, a mere human, would possess such vigorous vitality, it is indeed the case, and Lu Chen is completely unaffected by the evil influence."

"If any of my subordinates tells a lie, may I die a horrible death and never be resurrected."

Yun Yudie can sense other strange emotions to a certain extent, since the strangeness between strange beings can resonate with each other.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao's serious eyes, Yun Yudie was basically certain that what Zhou Xiaoxiao said was true.

However, even if what Zhou Xiaoxiao said is true, it may not be true. It is possible that Lu Chen used some method to deceive Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou, making the two sisters believe that Lu Chen has unlimited vitality.

Yun Yudie then asked, "Right Protector, have you ever thought about this? You are a mysterious being. Since he saw through your identities from the beginning, why was he still willing to let you devour his life force to help you break through?"

"Isn't he afraid that once you break through to the Earth Realm, you'll threaten the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the entire Great Zhou?"

In Yun Yudie's view, even if Lu Chen possessed infinite vitality, he would not so easily help the two strange beings grow.

Help between people of the same kind often involves an exchange of benefits, let alone help between people of different races.

She didn't believe a human would be so kind as to help a race that treated humans as prey to increase its strength.

Yun Yudie would never believe there wasn't a conspiracy involved.

Faced with Yun Yudie's question, Zhou Xiaoxiao fell silent, unsure how to answer.

She couldn't very well say that Lu Chen was lusting after their bodies and that he helped them improve their cultivation levels so that he could have sex with them, could she?

However, if the truth is not told to Yun Yudie, then Yun Yudie probably will never believe that Lu Chen wants to cooperate with them.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao fall silent again, Yun Yudie understood that Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou must be hiding something from her.

Although the intelligence they sent back was likely true, there must have been some crucial details that were not reported.

This made Yun Yudie curious; what kind of news could make the two sisters hide it from even her, the leader of the sect?

After a while, before Yun Yudie could ask, Zhou Xiaoxiao finally said, "Master, the reason Lu Chen helped us improve our cultivation is because in his eyes, both the Left Protector and I are his women."

Upon hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Yudie showed a look of surprise.

Having lived in the human world for countless years, she had some understanding of humans. Some male humans would indeed provide resources to the women they liked to help them improve their cultivation level.

But Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou aren't human. How could Lu Chen possibly treat them as his women?

After regaining her senses, Yun Yudie scrutinized Zhou Xiaoxiao again: "So, you've already had sexual relations with him?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao admitted, "Yes, Master, the condition for us to devour his life force is to have sexual relations with him."

Now it was Yun Yudie's turn to fall silent.

She said that the two sisters had been hiding something from her, and it turned out it was because of this.

This also explains why the two sisters didn't report the matter. If they had, he might have suspected that they had been bewitched by Lu Chen and fallen in love with him.

However, Yun Yudie wasn't stupid; how could a ghost fall in love with a human? Seeing that Yun Yudie didn't continue asking her questions, Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak and just knelt in the main hall.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yudie finally spoke again and asked, "In your opinion, should I cooperate with him?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "It's entirely up to the leader; I dare not say anything more."

She was afraid that if she persuaded Yun Yudie to cooperate with Lu Chen, Yun Yudie would suspect that she was acting as Lu Chen's advocate.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoxiao dared not answer her question, Yun Yudie released a powerful aura and then coldly said, "I told you to speak, so speak."

Zhou Xiaoxiao's fair cheeks turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat trickled down her face and down her fair neck.

Then Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "If the cult leader confirms that he does indeed possess infinite vitality, he can be kept in captivity and used as the cult leader's exclusive food."

Yun Yudie didn't dwell on the topic any further, but instead asked, "Why hasn't the Left Protector returned?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat; sure enough, they still asked that question.

However, she had already prepared her words: "Lu Chen won't let her come back. Lu Chen said that someone has to act as a go-between. If we all leave, he won't be able to find us."

Yun Yudie thought for a moment and realized that if Lu Chen was preventing Zhou Youyou from leaving, then it would make sense.

Indeed, her initial idea was to have the Zhou sisters return to the Heavenly Fortune Sect and then immediately dismantle the exposed strongholds so that Lu Chen would not be able to find the Heavenly Fortune Sect.

Therefore, it's normal for Lu Chen to be wary of them.

If Lu Chen were to easily send the two sisters back, she would suspect that they had betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect and become Lu Chen's lackeys.

Now that it has been confirmed that Zhou Xiaoxiao did not betray the Heavenly Fortune Sect or herself, the next step is to think about how to handle the relationship between the Heavenly Fortune Sect and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, or more precisely, how to handle her relationship with Lu Chen.

The thought that Lu Chen was a person with boundless vitality made Yun Yudie feel the evil spirit within her body become restless.

Zhou Xiaoxiao had only been in the capital for a few months when she broke through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.

If Lu Chen could become his exclusive blood food, he should be able to recover all his strength in less than a month, and might even be able to break through to the Heavenly Realm.

Lu Chen's allure to her was undeniable, but what she feared most now was how he had tricked the Zhou sisters. Was it a trap to lure her to the capital and then imprison her?

After pondering for a long time, Yun Yudie finally made a decision.

Given the current strength of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, they cannot take Lu Chen away, but they can allow the Zhou Xiaoxiao sisters to continue to infiltrate Lu Chen's side and gather intelligence on the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

A few days ago, the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly declined. Although she didn't know what had happened to cause such a significant drop in the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the suppression of the strange phenomena by the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting weaker and weaker. Once the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty declined further, she would go directly to the capital and find an opportunity to capture Lu Chen from the capital.

Thinking of this, Yun Yudie said to Zhou Xiaoxiao, "You should return to the capital in a few days and continue to stay in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Hearing Yun Yudie's words, Zhou Xiaoxiao could hardly believe it.

She originally thought she would be severely punished upon her return, and might even be sealed away, but to her surprise, their leader only asked her a few questions and then actually allowed her to return to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Although she didn't understand why Yun Yudie would do this, Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't ask further. She respectfully replied, "Yes, Master." (End of Chapter)
