At this moment, Wang Qingci also noticed Lu Chen, after all, she had come specifically for him.

Seeing that the North Prince was smiling at her, Wang Qingci was overjoyed, and it seemed her plan had already succeeded by half, and she indeed had caught the attention of the North Prince.

All she needed to do now was wait quietly.

She believed it wouldn’t be long before the North Prince would come looking for her, confident in her own beauty.

Soon, Wang Qingci smiled back at Lu Chen as well.

After the wedding banquet was over, Lu Chen left straight away, whereas Mu Zixuan stayed to chat with the females who had attended the wedding.

Lu Chen had long since communicated and exchanged feelings with Zhou Xiaoxiao, so he wasn’t in a hurry about the wedding chamber at all.

He now headed to the main courtyard, the one where he had planted the Dragon Phoenix Tree.

The Dragon Phoenix Tree hadn’t been planted for even half a month, but it had already grown as tall as Lu Chen’s waist.

However, the Dragon Phoenix Tree looked no different from any ordinary tree.

Lu Chen plucked a few leaves from the Dragon Phoenix Tree, intending to brew tea for Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister later in the wedding chamber.

At that time, Chu Yuqin appeared in the yard.

Seeing that Lu Chen was neither receiving guests nor looking for Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister but had run to this yard to look at a tree, Chu Yuqin asked with curiosity, “Chen’er, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you looking for the Zhou sisters?”

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s voice, Lu Chen was startled, then he turned his head to look at her, and an idea suddenly formed in his mind.

At this point, Lu Chen asked the system in his heart.

“System, is it true that after a woman drinks the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, she will become dependent on me and unable to leave me?”

[That is correct.]

[Moreover, after a woman drinks the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, she will be unable to harm you, and when you touch their bodies, they will lose their strength.]

[However, if the woman who drinks the Dragon and Phoenix Tea has a favorability towards you, the tea can enhance their skill to a certain extent.]

Hearing this from the system, Lu Chen was surprised; he had thought that the Dragon and Phoenix Tea would at most make women dependent on him, not that it also had the effect of increasing skill.

Since Chu Yuqin had such a high favorability towards him, then if she drank more Dragon and Phoenix Tea, it would definitely increase her skill substantially.

With this thought, Lu Chen smiled and said, “No rush, it’s broad daylight now, what do you want me to do by searching for them, could it be, Madam Chu, you want me to perform that what…”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin gave Lu Chen a white look, “What nonsense are you talking about? I just want you to talk to the two sisters, now that you’re married.”

At that moment, Chu Yuqin, looking at the Dragon Phoenix Tree leaves in Lu Chen’s hand, asked out of curiosity, “What are you doing with the tree leaves?”

Instead of directly answering Chu Yuqin’s question, Lu Chen looked around carefully and said in a cautious tone, “Madam Chu, come with me, I have a secret to tell you.”

At these words, Chu Yuqin’s eyes lit up, and she was instantly intrigued.

Lately she had discovered that Lu Chen had many secrets; each time she asked him about them, Lu Chen would use the excuse that he was all grown up and unwilling to tell her, making her wonder if Lu Chen no longer recognized her as his aunt.

Since Lu Chen was willing to share a secret with her today, she definitely wanted to hear it; she was curious about what kind of secret Lu Chen would reveal.

At this time, Lu Chen headed towards his room, with Chu Yuqin quickly following.

Once in his room, Lu Chen placed the leaves he was holding into the teapot on the table.

Seeing this, Chu Yuqin grew even more curious, wondering what Lu Chen was up to.

After a moment, Lu Chen poured the brewed Dragon and Phoenix Tea into two purple clay cups, “Madam Chu, try the flavor of this tea.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin paused for a second, then asked unbelievingly, “Chen’er, is this what you call a secret?”

Lu Chen said mysteriously, “Madam Chu, once you drink it, you’ll understand the secret I’m talking about.”

Having said this, Lu Chen picked up a purple clay cup from the table and drained the Dragon and Phoenix Tea inside.

Seeing Lu Chen drink, Chu Yuqin hesitated but picked up the purple clay cup in front of her and gently sipped the Dragon and Phoenix Tea inside.

After just a small sip, Chu Yuqin immediately felt a cool sensation flooding into her heart.

The next moment, Chu Yuqin discovered that the skill inside her body was slowly growing.

Her realm had stagnated at Ninth Grade for many years, and she had thought it would be difficult to advance any further, but to her surprise, just a sip of the tea started to loosen the constraints on her realm.

Chu Yuqin then drained the cup of Dragon and Phoenix Tea and fixed her beautiful eyes intently on Lu Chen, “Chen’er, if I’m not mistaken, the leaves you had in your hands were from that tree in the middle of the courtyard, weren’t they?”

Chu Yuqin had long noticed that Lu Chen seemed particularly concerned about the tree in the center of the courtyard, and she had always been curious why Lu Chen, after arriving in North City, watered the tree himself every day.

So the leaves from that tree could actually enhance one’s skill!

That was truly unbelievable!

Lu Chen still didn’t answer Chu Yuqin’s question but instead asked back, “Madam Chu, how do you feel now?”

Chu Yuqin closed her eyes slightly, and the next moment, a stream of energy spread out from her body.

When Chu Yuqin opened her eyes, she could hardly believe it.

She had actually broken through to the Half-step Grandmaster!

Although there was still a long way to go before becoming a Grandmaster, this at least gave her hope.

Only then did Lu Chen begin to explain, “Madam Chu, the tree in the courtyard is called the Dragon Phoenix Tree, and drinking tea brewed with its leaves can help martial artists enhance their skill.”

Lu Chen revealed only part of the content; as for the other uses of Dragon and Phoenix Tea, Lu Chen hadn’t planned on telling Chu Yuqin yet.

Chu Yuqin was of a gentler disposition, and Lu Chen hadn’t planned on coming on strong from the start.

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Chu Yuqin was extremely surprised; although she had already experienced the benefits of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, hearing Lu Chen’s explanation made it feel even more incredible.

If Lu Chen could produce a weapon that kills Ninth Grade martial artists instantly, what’s more, he had now found a plant that could enhance skill from who knows where.

If word of this got out, the entire Martial Arts World would likely be thrown into chaos!

By then, goodness knows how many Master Level experts would come to the Prince’s Mansion to fight over that tree!

Not just Grandmasters, but perhaps even Grandmasters might take an interest in that tree.

Chu Yuqin didn’t plan on asking Lu Chen where it came from because, after all, asking him would probably not yield an answer.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin sighed and asked worriedly, “Chen’er, does anyone else know about the uses of this tree?”

Lu Chen shook his head and said, “I’ve only told you, Madam Chu, no one else knows.”

Chu Yuqin cautioned, “You must not tell anyone else about the uses of this tree, otherwise the North Prince Mansion will face great trouble, and by then, even I won’t be able to protect the North Prince Mansion.”

Lu Chen assured, “Don’t worry, Madam Chu, I understand the pros and cons.”

Chu Yuqin said, “Alright, you should go see Xiaoxiao and Youyou now.”

Lu Chen ummed and said, “Then I’ll head over there now.”

After the sound of his voice faded, Lu Chen turned around and left.

For some reason, as she watched Lu Chen’s tall figure walking away, Chu Yuqin suddenly felt a little unsettled.
