Let me explain, it's not what you think.

"Senior, please calm down. Ziyao was just too concerned about me for a moment, which is why she spoke up to you. I apologize on her behalf."

"My husband..."

"I am willing to accept the investigation by the demon race because I, Lu Chen, have lived an upright and honest life. If I say I am not a demon, then I cannot be one!"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the lion clan's anger gradually subsided.

Lu Chen is such a sensible young man! He had investigated him before and heard that he was a gentleman in Dali. Now it seems that it is indeed true!

For a moment, he even considered betrothing one of his family's young ladies to him.

After all, even disregarding Lu Chen's potential, he couldn't ignore Lu Chen's two wives in the fusion stage. Lu Chen was irrelevant; the key was to infiltrate Jiang Yu and Zi Yao's circles.

"Hmm, you are indeed polite and know how to respect your elders! However, given the sensitive nature of the demon's identity and the fact that too many people have heard the Buddha's words, I will still report this matter to the Demon King."

"Please proceed, senior. I will cooperate fully with the investigation at any time, however..."

"But what?"

"However, I have personal matters to attend to at home. May I wait at home for a powerful figure from my demon clan to personally investigate me?"

Upon hearing this, the old lion nodded.

That Buddhist disciple was indeed going too far. If Lu Chen didn't retaliate, he would think there was something wrong with Lu Chen's personality.

"Please proceed, Young Master Lu!"

"In that case, thank you in gratitude, senior!"

"Well, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

"Please speak, senior!"

"Do you still have any plans to increase the number of women in your harem? I have a woman in my clan who is exceptionally beautiful and intelligent..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Old Deng, are you treating me like I'm invisible?" Zi Yao couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him directly.

She had originally considered having Lu Chen take another concubine, but after seeing how many women he had, she completely gave up on the idea and didn't want him to take any more concubines.

Soon, the old lion left with many lions, while Lu Chen stepped into his own palace.

There, the Buddhist disciple and Jiang Yu knelt.

……

"I knew it! Ziyao and I were living a perfectly good life. How come as soon as you came over, my harem was exposed, and then a whole bunch of people came to challenge me, making me suspected more than once that I'm a demon!"

Lu Chen grabbed Jiang Yu's chin and spoke condescendingly.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was forced by the order of the Lord of Lu Chen Territory to have her cultivation sealed by Zi Yao.

Because she had no way to resist, and everyone outside knew that she was Lu Chen's harem, Lu Chen's orders were law within the territory.

She had considered running away, but the price of running away was something she couldn't afford!

"And then, you, someone who initially disliked me, inexplicably sent me such a wonderful treasure to help me improve my cultivation. It turns out it was all so that I could break through as quickly as possible, allowing this Buddhist disciple to challenge me!"

Jiang Yu didn't say anything, she just kept shedding tears, she felt that everything was over.

"You've told him so many of my secrets, but did you tell him what it was like when you sat on my lap, poured me tea, and served me?"

The Buddhist disciple standing nearby had eyes wide with rage.

"Lu Chen, you're talking nonsense! Jiang Yu couldn't possibly be that kind of person..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen sealed his mouth with his spiritual power.

The truly powerful figures in Buddhism are the Buddhist nuns.

In the original work, this Buddhist disciple was just a supporting character, not even worthy of being Lin Tian's opponent, and was someone Li Fei trampled underfoot.

Yet it was this very person who caused him such a huge mess.

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my losses this time?"

"I...I'm willing to stay and become your henchman! I'll do anything, as long as you spare our lives!" Jiang Yu said desperately.

"Snapped!"

"Are you out of your mind? Do you know that you tricked me? I was almost converted by him, which was practically the same as being dead, and you just say it so casually?"

"And...you are my property now. Everything you have belongs to me. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"

Jiang Yu covered her face, wiping away tears continuously.

She couldn't understand why Lu Chen, who had always been so gentle and kind to her, could become so heartless! This huge sense of loss caused her immense pain!

And shouldn't Lu Chen be a really good person? Why is he so scary now...?

Little did they know, Lu Chen would never treat good people like this, and these two women were already his enemies. If he didn't care, he could sit at the same table with Cheng Xin.

Looking at the Buddha's eyes wide with fury and the silent Jiang Yu, Lu Chen felt somewhat troubled.

He doesn't have the power to kill these two right now, otherwise it would definitely provoke a crazy retaliation, and even his identity would be thoroughly investigated, which would be a loss for him.

Furthermore, the Buddha's disciple was going to be overthrown by his good brother, and if he killed him, something unexpected might happen. So he decided to spare his life!

But he was unwilling to just let them go!

Especially Jiang Yu, although he was reluctant to admit it, after these days of training, he still had a strong possessive desire for her and would not allow her to look at him or have any contact with any other men.

Therefore, Jiang Yu will never be able to escape his grasp in this lifetime!

Thinking this way, Lu Chen decided to give the two of them a lesson they would never forget.

He wanted to show people his zodiac sign, then treat Jiang Yu to Earthly delicacies, and then have the Buddha's disciple watch over him!

Then, he picked up Jiangyu and carried her into the house, leaving the Buddha child tied up in the courtyard!

The Buddhist monk suffered a mental breakdown, but Lu Chen stared blankly at the blood-plum handkerchief in his hand.

play?

You two seem to be deeply in love, but it turns out this woman is actually... As for having given birth to his child, that's even more absurd; it was just a lie to deceive Ziyao!

"You fucking tell me, a Nascent Soul cultivator like you, what don't you have? Why would you lie to me like this and then get yourself killed?"

"...♡"

Jiang Yu was busy and could not answer Lu Chen.

"If Yao Yao finds out, she'll kill you two! We could have been living a good life, but you two tricked us!"

……

Seven days passed without Lu Chen leaving his house. On the eighth day, a large number of powerful demons with overwhelming auras descended outside Zi Yao's palace. Only then did Lu Chen choose to go out, and then kicked the Buddha's disciple.

The latter showed no reaction and appeared to be dead.

God knows what inhuman treatment he endured during those seven days! During that time, he reflected on his own problems countless times and finally concluded that he shouldn't have provoked Lu Chen!

But now it's all too late. His beloved... the beloved he never touched, just as Lu Chen said, is no longer his!

"Once you've figured out what you'll give in exchange for your life, I'll be able to let you go."

"Of course, if you still want to listen to music, Jiangyu and I can keep you company indefinitely."
