Lu Chen whispered in Chu Yuqin’s ear, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t do anything rash.”
Lu Chen’s voice was low and magnetic, and its proximity to her ear made Chu Yuqin feel as if his voice was directly entering her brain, causing a tingling sensation to spread throughout her body from her mind.
Chu Yuqin struggled against the strangeness in her body, not forgetting her intention to help Lu Chen adjust his body. At this moment, she attempted to channel her Inner Strength into Lu Chen’s body to check the condition of his Dantian.
However, she quickly realized that not only was she feeling weak all over, but the skill in her body had also disappeared, just like when she had been with Lu Chen before.
Chu Yuqin sighed inwardly. Sure enough, as before, whenever this little rascal held her, her skill would vanish. It seemed highly likely it had something to do with the Immortal Law he practiced.
Unless they engaged in closer contact, allowing Lu Chen to transfer some of his skill to her, only then would she be able to use her Inner Strength to check Lu Chen’s Dantian.
But the mere thought of Lu Chen taking liberties with her in the study, kissing her red lips, left Chu Yuqin’s mind in turmoil.
Just as Chu Yuqin was about to ask Lu Chen to let go of her so she could check his Dantian, Lu Chen sighed and said, “Madam Chu, it seems this method of adjusting the body isn’t working anymore. If it’s just holding each other, I don’t feel anything, and the mass of energy in my Dantian is still blocked up, with no signs of dissipating.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s mind froze for a moment before she hurriedly asked, “Then what should we do?”
Lu Chen said, “Madam Chu, do you remember what we did in the study last time? It seems only by closer contact, allowing the skill in our bodies to form a cycle, can we clear the energy blockage in my Dantian.”
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the image of Lu Chen’s forceful kiss flooded Chu Yuqin’s mind, and she immediately said, “No! We mustn’t make the same mistake again!”
Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s response, Lu Chen unhesitatingly released her delicate body.
Chu Yuqin was momentarily stunned.
Lu Chen then said with a worried face, “Since you are unwilling, Madam Chu, let’s forget it. I’ll find another way to deal with the blockage in my Dantian. Who asked me to practice the Immortals’ cultivation technique beyond my limits? Whatever the consequences, I should bear them alone. Indeed, this has nothing to do with you, Madam Chu. I can’t ruin your purity.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s tender heart was instantly touched.
But the thought of engaging in such intimate acts with Lu Chen caused great resistance within her.
After all, she was Lu Chen’s aunt!
Though not by blood.
Nevertheless, she was still the sworn sister of Lu Chen’s mother, Jin Lan.
How could they indulge in such intimate acts?
If word got out, it would surely affect Lu Chen’s reputation.
Lu Chen was someone who aspired to contend for the throne; his reputation couldn’t be tarnished because of her.
The Wang Family and others with ulterior motives were already planning to use her to trouble Lu Chen. If she were to engage in intimate acts with Lu Chen, the people would certainly see him as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
At that moment, Chu Yuqin said, “Chen’er, it’s not that your aunt isn’t helping you, it’s just…”
Chu Yuqin trailed off.
Lu Chen said, “Madam Chu, don’t say anymore. I understand. Even though you and the man you married have not consummated your marriage, you are technically married to him. Public opinion is dreadful, and you fear that your reputation will be ruined by me… I…”
Lu Chen hadn’t finished speaking when Chu Yuqin interrupted him, “Chen’er, it’s not like that, your aunt doesn’t think that way.”
“I’m afraid that people will use me to ruin your reputation. After all, I am a widow. If the public finds out about what happened between you and me, how will they view you?”
Hearing this, Lu Chen turned to look into Chu Yuqin’s eyes, which showed a hint of panic, clearly afraid of being misunderstood as a selfish person.
Then, with a smile on his face, Lu Chen said, “Madam Chu, let’s not talk about these disheartening things. You go about your business, and I’ll endure this on my own. This is the consequence I ought to bear.”

Seeing Lu Chen’s bitter smile, Chu Yuqin felt as if her heart was being twisted by a knife.
At this point, Chu Yuqin thought to herself that her purpose in staying by Lu Chen’s side was to be of use to him, and now she was the only one who could help adjust his body, yet she was reluctant to do so.
If she was unwilling, who else could adjust Lu Chen’s body? If he truly suffered problems from his cultivation, she couldn’t explain herself to her dear sister Chu Yue, even in death.
Moreover, it was just a kiss, not the consummation of a marriage. Even if kissed, that shouldn’t count as losing her purity, especially since they had already kissed once before.
Having thought it through, Chu Yuqin finally made up her mind and promptly said, “Chen’er, don’t speak so despondently. Your aunt promised your mother to guard you for life and to protect your safety.”
“If that kind of action is necessary to help adjust your Dantian, then your aunt will surely agree to it. However, I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself and all of a sudden might start thinking…”
