[Ding, congratulations to the host on gaining another wife and concubine, reward: Qi Refinement Mantra.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host on gaining another wife and concubine, reward: Rejuvenating Skill.]

[Ding, the host and his wife and concubine have reached a heart-to-heart connection, obtaining one Barrett along with twenty Barrett bullets.]

Lu Chen, who had been basking in happiness, was jolted back to reality by the system’s prompt.

He hadn’t expected to receive such generous rewards.

If he was already getting such gifts without having any children yet, wouldn’t the rewards be even more bountiful once he had offspring?

As Lu Chen was musing over this, the system’s prompt sounded again.

[Ding, the rewards for the first communication and interaction with the host’s wife and concubine will be more generous.]

Only then did Lu Chen realize, so that was it; he had thought that every communication and interaction would yield such rich rewards.

At this moment, Lu Chen checked the new rewards he had received.

[Qi Refinement Mantra: A legendary cultivation technique said to help people become Immortals; can be practiced by fostering a relationship through communication with wives and concubines.]

[Rejuvenating Skill: Can use spiritual energy to heal some injuries; when cultivated to perfection, there is a chance to revive those on the verge of death; this technique can be practiced by fostering a relationship through communication with wives and concubines.]

Seeing these two rewards, Lu Chen was completely dumbstruck.

Isn’t this the martial arts world?

Could this world actually contain cultivation techniques like the Qi Refinement Mantra and Rejuvenating Skill that are only found in the immortal world?

But then again, if one day he became an Immortal, wouldn’t the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty be readily within his grasp?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen happily hugged Zhou Youyou, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Mu Zixuan, the three of them, “You three are truly my treasures!”

Hearing this, the Zhou sisters felt incredibly happy; now that they had finally become women of the North Prince, perhaps once they got to North City, they wouldn’t have to hide anymore.

However, just then, Lu Chen suddenly spoke up, “By the way, my consort, I feel like you might be hiding something from me.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat.

She had not expected Lu Chen’s intuition to be so accurate.

Lu Chen continued, “You are now my wife, and I would rather my women not keep things from me.”

Just as Mu Zixuan was about to say something, Lu Chen patted the waists of Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, you two are the daughters of Zhou Wangtian, aren’t you?”

Hearing this, the three women were greatly shocked; they had not anticipated that Lu Chen already knew this.

Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly got up from Lu Chen’s embrace, then knelt on the bed, kowtowing as they said, “Your Highness, please forgive us, we did not mean to deceive you!”

“All of this is our fault, please do not blame the consort!”

Mu Zixuan opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it, after all, it was she who had been in the wrong.

Zhou Wangtian and her father, Mu Changtian, were known as the two Sky Kings of the Great Xia Dynasty, and their families had always had a good relationship.

Mu Zixuan and the Zhou sisters were as close as sisters; she really couldn’t bear to see them being imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishments as playthings for others.

Seeing the Zhou sisters so panicked, Lu Chen’s mouth curved upward slightly, then he said with a smile, “Indeed, you three have done wrong.”

“To keep such an important matter from me.”

“However, I can give you three an opportunity to atone for your sins through meritorious deeds.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan’s brows immediately relaxed, and she quickly asked, “Your Highness, how should we atone through meritorious deeds?”

Lu Chen looked at Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, “It’s simple; all you need to do is bear me several children.”

Hearing this, the three women instantly understood.

Then Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked him, saying, “Thank you for taking us in, Your Highness! We will certainly bear you many descendants in the future!”

Lu Chen then said, “Alright, you two sisters go rest first; once we get to North City, I will take you as my concubines.”

The two of them spoke in unison, “Yes, Prince.”

Then the pair left the room, limping away, and went to the adjacent chamber.

After they left, Mu Zixuan cautiously asked, “Prince, do you really intend to take in the two of them?”

Although Lu Chen was three years younger than herself, he was still the Prince, and Mu Zixuan couldn’t be sure about his temperament.

Lu Chen pulled Mu Zixuan’s delicate body toward himself, wrapped his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, “If I didn’t plan to take them in, do you think I would have touched them just now?”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan realized the point.

Indeed, Lu Chen apparently knew the identities of the two Zhou sisters all along, yet he didn’t seem to care about their origins earlier.

Lu Chen continued, “My love, I hope this is the first and last time something like this happens. Do you understand what I mean?”

Mu Zixuan promptly replied, “Yes, Prince. I will not keep any secrets from you in the future.”

Lu Chen kissed Mu Zixuan and, stroking her body, said, “That’s what I like to hear from my cherished consort.”

“By the way, I’m not unreasonable. There’s no need for you to be so cautious; after all, you are the mistress of this household.”

Mu Zixuan, three years his senior, but these past few days, she completely acted like a little woman, cautious in both her speech and actions, giving the impression that she was an outsider.

Blushing, Mu Zixuan said, “Prince, I will adjust to my role as quickly as I can.”

Lu Chen added, “Also, stop calling me Prince; call me darling.”

Mu Zixuan replied softly, “Yes, darling.”

“Alright, get some sleep now. We’re setting off for North City tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Then Lu Chen, holding Mu Zixuan’s warm and tender body, fell into the land of dreams.

…

Early the next morning,

Before the sky fully brightened, everyone at North Prince Mansion began their preparations.

Lu Chen wasn’t one to rise early, but since he had to leave the Capital city today, he too had to get up early from the warmth of his bed.

Standing at the entrance of North Prince Mansion, Lu Chen looked over his home, feeling a certain gloom in his heart.

The North Prince Mansion held all his memories since childhood, and now the moments of his past played like a movie in his mind.

Leaving this time, he didn’t know when he would return, as without the Seignior’s orders, he could not come back to the Capital.

Determined, Lu Chen made a silent vow to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

The day he returned to the Capital city would be the day he commanded the world!

At that moment,

A group of soldiers, clad in armor and riding horses, arrived at the entrance of North Prince Mansion.

The leading officer, Li Feng, seeing Lu Chen, immediately half-kneeled and said, “General Li Feng, at your service, Prince. On your journey to North City to establish your fief, I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety of you and your household.”

Then, Lu Chen’s eyes emitted a subtle gleam that others might not notice, and an information bar appeared before him.

[Name: Li Feng]

[Identity: One of the generals in the Great Xia Hu Ben Army, currently serving as a temporary general for the Great Xia North Prince’s Guard Team.]

[Strength: Seventh Rank]

[Loyalty: 50]

Seeing this information bar, Lu Chen was momentarily startled. So the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings could display information about men as well.

This was incredibly useful to him.
