Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Early morning.

The magpies were chattering non-stop outside the window, the person inside the room was disturbed and opened her eyes.

As Murong Xue'er opened her eyes, and was about to raise her hands to rub them, she discovered her hands were being pinned down by Lu Chen's, pressed beside her body.

And this guy was lying on top of her, his head resting on her shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Murong Xue'er felt somewhat helpless; this guy really had no restraints. If she wasn't a Martial Artist above Master Level, being used as a pillow all night by him would have probably made her body feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lu Chen was still asleep, Murong Xue'er didn't want to disturb him, so she just looked at the canopy above her and pondered over the miraculous knowledge Lu Chen had imparted to her the previous night.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er found that she could easily recall that knowledge, which seemed to suggest it wasn't a fantasy produced by her brain being scrambled by this guy; those things truly existed.

With that foundational knowledge, she'd be able to understand the books in the Great Sum Royal Library with ease, and then she could teach the knowledge from those books to others.

After thinking for a while, Murong Xue'er's gaze shifted back to Lu Chen lying on top of her, and suddenly another thought arose in her heart.

She had once told this guy that after Great Jue was annihilated, she would leave him. Now that he had imparted such important knowledge to her,

if the day ever came when Great Jue was truly annihilated, would he still let her leave?

Although the knowledge Lu Chen passed on to her was basic, having it was enough to change the world, and she didn't believe Lu Chen would let her leave peacefully.

Murong Xue'er felt a slight shock in her heart. Did this bad man never intend to let her leave Great Sum from the start?

Upon thinking this, Murong Xue'er's Liumei furrowed slightly.

Yes, it must be the case; otherwise, why would he trust her so much?

As Murong Xue'er was thinking this, Lu Chen's body moved slightly, as if he were waking up, in their intimate position, Murong Xue'er's Liumei quivered as she gently bit her Silver Fangs.

At this moment, Lu Chen's voice rose by Murong Xue'er's ear, "Woke up so early? Don't you want to sleep a bit longer?"

Murong Xue'er answered indifferently, "Your Majesty has much to attend to today, I didn't want to delay your handling of state affairs."

Lu Chen didn't continue on this topic, instead he asked, "How is it, have you digested the knowledge I imparted to you?"

Murong Xue'er said, "Your Majesty is truly a remarkable man, to have such methods."

"But I am somewhat curious, if Your Majesty can directly impart knowledge to others, why do you need me to teach someone else? Can't Your Majesty just transfer that basic knowledge directly into others' minds?"

Murong Xue'er initially thought that maybe Lu Chen could only pass on knowledge to others while engaging in such actions with a man or woman, but upon reflecting she deemed it unlikely.

She must have been addled by this guy to think such a thing; clearly, his ability to transmit knowledge to others was some kind of Immortal's method.

Lu Chen said, "Although I can directly impart knowledge to others, this ability has many limitations; it's not something just anyone can receive, so others still need to be taught."

Lu Chen did not tell Murong Xue'er directly that he could only use the "Enlightenment" Divine Skill twice a day.

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Murong Xue'er considered it and indeed figured such an astounding method must have some restrictions. If there were no limitations, then this guy would have surely already passed on that knowledge to his wives and concubines.

At this moment, Lu Chen released Murong Xue'er's jade hands, then slowly got up, his hands propping himself by the sides of her hair, gazing at her exquisitely beautiful face, "Starting today, you are the Deputy Librarian of the Great Sum Royal Library."

Murong Xue'er expressed her thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen could find things for her to do, which still pleased her heart; it showed that Lu Chen trusted her, and she had already grown tired of the boredom of doing nothing all day long in her chamber.

Lu Chen's other consorts had children to attend to, but she had nothing, spending her days in the palace merely practicing calligraphy, composing poetry, and occasionally painting portraits of Lu Chen.

Seeing that Murong Xue'er was thanking him, Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Thanks? How do you plan to thank me? Surely it's not just a verbal thank-you, is it?"

Murong Xue'er asked calmly, "Your Majesty, how would you like me to thank you?"

Lu Chen said, "Why don't you give me several children?"

Murong Xue'er chuckled to herself, sure enough, this man had only the matter of producing offspring on his mind.

Murong Xue'er then said, "Whether or not I can bear children for Your Majesty is not something I can decide, that will depend on whether Your Majesty has the ability."

Clearly, Murong Xue'er's words were meant to be provocative; no man would admit to being incapable.

Lu Chen laughed out loud and then said, "Do you think I lack the ability?"

"Then, I shall have to take special care of you for the upcoming period."

Having said that, Lu Chen leaned down directly and sealed her soft lips with his mouth.

Not long after, the beautiful lady in the adjoining room heard the sounds of Murong Xue'er's apologetic voice coming from this room.

Hearing the sound of Murong Xue'er's apologies, Wu Junwan, half-reclining on the soft couch, couldn't help but sneer. Although she didn't know what Murong Xue'er had just said to Lu Chen, judging by the current commotion, it was very likely that Murong Xue'er had provoked Lu Chen.

Wu Junwan muttered to herself, "What an ignorant servant, daring to provoke that man."

At this point, Wu Junwan glanced down at her own belly with a slight frown.

Wu Junwan thought to herself that even though she, a Pseudo Celestial, was impregnated by Lu Chen, sooner or later that girl Murong Xue'er would end up carrying Lu Chen's child in her belly.

Once Murong Xue'er got pregnant, she would see what Murong Xue'er would use to counter her then.

Previously, when Murong Xue'er saw her morning sickness, she would occasionally mock her, saying how well-suited her body was for Lu Chen, that a mighty Pseudo Celestial had fallen pregnant with Lu Chen's child in such a short time, as if her body was specifically made for bearing Lu Chen's children.

Although Wu Junwan also thought about quickly having three children and then advancing to the Celestial Realm, Murong Xue'er's words made her feel like she was being humiliated, as if she were seen as nothing but livestock bred for reproduction in Murong Xue'er's eyes, which made Wu Junwan very upset.

Hearing Murong Xue'er's voice from the next room, Wu Junwan felt an immense satisfaction, silently cheering Lu Chen on—just like that, to get Murong Xue'er pregnant sooner.

The servant girl dared to ridicule her as a beast that knew only to reproduce; once Murong Xue'er's belly swelled, she would really like to see what Murong Xue'er's expression would be then.

In the following days, Lu Chen indeed visited Murong Xue'er's room every day. Once Murong Xue'er realized that pleading was useless, she thought about dragging the beauty from the next room down with her.

But Lu Chen was not fooled by her tactic, even if Murong Xue'er hid in Wu Junwan's room, pretending to chat with Wu Junwan, Lu Chen would immediately carry Murong Xue'er next door.

In the end, Murong Xue'er had no choice but to concede.

A few days later.

Lu Chen was busy handling affairs of state in the Imperial Study Room when Bai Qingqing entered and said, "Your Majesty, all the materials you've requested are prepared."
