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

Wu Junwan asked weakly as she lay there, "How did you do it?"

Lu Chen had no intention of keeping secrets; he said directly, "It's a dual-cultivation technique that can be cultivated by a man and a woman together."

Wu Junwan asked, "Yin-Yang Balance? Demonic Cultivation from the Demon Sect?"

Lu Chen chuckled, "If it were Yin-Yang Balance, given the intensity of my actions, you would probably be a dried-up corpse by now."

"Haven't you noticed that your strength has been continuously increasing? Just a few days ago, I used this method to help you break through to the Grandmaster Realm."

Wu Junwan thought about it for a moment; although this cultivation technique was very similar to the evil techniques of the Demon Sect, judging by the results, it really didn't seem like Yin-Yang Balance.

If it were an evil cultivation from the Demon Sect, considering Lu Chen's way of doing things, she would probably be close to death by now, especially after that time: two nights and one day later, it would be odd if she didn't die, yet instead, she had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.

So, could it be that this technique was actually a righteous cultivation technique?

Wu Junwan immediately realized the crux of the matter and quickly said, "There can't possibly be such a technique in this world. Who gave you this technique?"

At this moment, Lu Chen whispered into her ear, "My dear wife, just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist in this world."

Wu Junwan didn't believe Lu Chen's words; she stuck to her conjecture that this technique must come from another world, and it was very likely from the Misty Region.

Linking this to Lu Chen's earlier inquiries about the Misty Region, this further solidified Wu Junwan's guess.

At that time, one of Lu Chen's hands was caressing Wu Junwan's smooth and tender body, while he asked, "This cultivation technique is not something that just anyone can practice. Do you know what conditions are required to cultivate it?"

Wu Junwan asked, "What conditions?"

Lu Chen answered, "To practice this technique, a man and a woman need to like each other, to have affection between them."

"If one party lacks feelings for the other, then this technique cannot be cultivated."

Wu Junwan immediately understood what Lu Chen was implying; he was suggesting that she liked him, and that was why they could cultivate this technique together.

Wu Junwan immediately denied it, "Impossible!"

"How could I possibly like you? This condition is definitely not necessary to practice this technique."

Lu Chen said, "No matter how much you deny it, it's futile."

Wu Junwan felt somewhat chaotic inside; she dared not believe this was true. If what Lu Chen said was true, didn't that mean she liked this man?

Although she indeed found his body appealing and had long considered him a handsome man, she was only attracted to Lu Chen's physical appearance. How could she have feelings for him? As someone who lived in the Imperial Palace, it was impossible for her to have such emotions.

Lu Chen said, "Alright, the day has broken, and I have things to attend to, so let's not discuss this matter for now."

"In any case, just understand that you can no longer be without me."

This time, Wu Junwan did not continue to refute Lu Chen's words. The next moment, Lu Chen got up from her body, then prepared to head to the bathhouse. Just then, Wu Junwan suddenly rolled over and struck a palm toward Lu Chen.

As Wu Junwan's palm was about to reach Lu Chen's body, it was as if a force held her back, making it impossible for her palm to go any further.

At that moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Wu Junwan, seeing that she had just been about to make a move against him, yet her hand had stopped mid-air. Lu Chen's mouth curved slightly upward, "I was right, wasn't I? Even if you have regained your skill, what can you do? You can't bear to strike me."

Wu Junwan looked at her hand, stopped mid-air, in disbelief; she truly couldn't bring herself to do it.

He had treated her like this, tormented her as if she were a female slave, and yet she was unable to make a move against him.

Previously, when she couldn't act against Lu Chen, she could make excuses that she was under Lu Chen's control and couldn't act against him.

But this time was different. She had recovered her skill, and with Lu Chen's back to her, she could totally attack Lu Chen, yet she just couldn't do it.

She was not restricted by any power; it was simply that she could not bring herself to act, feeling a pang of pain in her heart the instant she tried to strike.

While Wu Junwan was lost in thought, Lu Chen quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her slender body up from the bed, then carried her in a princess hold towards the bathhouse.

Wu Junwan instantly became incredibly calm, no longer struggling, instead wrapping her arms around Lu Chen's neck, allowing him to carry her to the bathhouse.

Once inside the bathhouse, with Lu Chen embracing Wu Junwan as they sat in the bath, she finally spoke, "I'm a woman with tremendous ambition."

Wu Junwan's tone had softened considerably, and she no longer referred to herself as "this palace."

Hearing Wu Junwan's unexpected remark, Lu Chen said indifferently, "I know."

Wu Junwan continued, "Aren't you afraid that after becoming your woman, I will turn the North Country upside down?"

Lu Chen said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have let you into the North Prince Mansion, nor would I have made you my woman."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's response, Wu Junwan fell silent. After a while, she continued to ask, "Do you truly plan to unify the various dynasties?"

As Lu Chen gently stroked Wu Junwan's jade back, he said, "If it were before, I actually didn't have a strong desire to unite the world. But now, things are different."
