Chapter 2430 - 2120: Pei Shuhua’s Child Is Born

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie fell into deep thought.

Indeed, thousands or even tens of thousands of years are long, but for them, these strange beings, it’s actually just the blink of an eye. After all, they are immortal and imperishable. If they fall into slumber, those thousands of years pass by quickly.

Just thinking about being beneath this dog of a thing for tens of thousands of years made her feel very aggrieved. When had such beings like them ever suffered this kind of humiliation?

Seeing Yun Yudie fall silent, not saying a word, Lu Chen continued: "If I haven’t yet broken through the King Realm and help you reach the Heavenly Realm, wouldn’t your strength surpass mine?"

"What if you don’t consider past ties and decide to act against me? I have to hold something in reserve, right?"

Seeing Lu Chen speak so candidly, Yun Yudie decided to say no more.

Since he put it that way, he clearly wouldn’t help her break through next.

Seeing that she couldn’t count on Lu Chen, she’d have to figure out a way herself.

With that in mind, Yun Yudie stood up, ready to leave the room.

However, just as she walked by Lu Chen, he suddenly grabbed her jade-like hand and smiled, saying, "Sect Leader Yun, since you’re already here, where are you rushing off to?"

Yun Yudie’s face immediately turned cold, as the deceitful evil on her body spread aggressively around her.

Since this guy didn’t plan on helping her improve her Realm, why should she stay here?

Stay here to let him toy with her? She wasn’t that cheap.

Lu Chen seemed to see through Yun Yudie’s thoughts, so he said: "Sect Leader Yun, even if I don’t help you improve your cultivation state now, you can still devour my vitality."

"As far as I know, the more vitality you strange beings devour, the stronger you become."

"Perhaps the vitality you devour now is of no use, but once you break through the bottleneck, the stored vitality in your body can instantly help you reach a higher Realm."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie found some sense in his words.

Although this guy didn’t have good intentions and wanted to have his way with her, there was truth in what he said.

Even though the vitality she devoured couldn’t currently be transformed into her own Realm, it was still stored within her, and her strength continued to grow.

Thinking this, Yun Yudie did not pull away from Lu Chen’s hand and let him hold it.

Seeing Yun Yudie stand silently, neither speaking nor leaving, Lu Chen understood her meaning. Then he hugged Yun Yudie from the front, kissed her red lips, his large hands roaming her body. After pulling her sash loose, he gently pushed her onto the bed.

Once Lu Chen touched Yun Yudie, she didn’t hold back anymore, crazily absorbing Lu Chen’s vitality.

After all, she couldn’t suffer losses, and she would let Lu Chen repay all the humiliation she endured with his vitality.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months passed.

Imperial Palace, Empress Dowager’s palace.

Pei Shuhua lay on her soft couch, looking at her swelling belly with a sorrowful face.

Originally, she believed that the restrictions of the Border Wilderness would soon vanish, and she wouldn’t need to bear children for Lu Chen.

Unexpectedly, even as her due date arrived, the restrictions remained.

Not only did the Border Wilderness restrictions not vanish, but the Ancient Ruins also did not appear.

This left her no choice but to bear the child in her belly for Lu Chen.

At this moment, Pei Shuhua experienced the feelings that Chu Qingli had when giving birth.

Just then, she suddenly felt her stomach writhing, something in her lower abdomen seemed eager to emerge.

Pei Shuhua immediately told the midwife beside her: "The Empress Dowager is about to give birth, get ready."

Upon hearing this, the midwives and maidservants in the room immediately prepared for delivery.

After a long time, a sharp baby cry sounded from within.

At the same time, Ji Yunmeng stood calmly at the entrance.

Listening to the sounds from inside, she peered through the cracks to see the busy midwives and maidservants but did not enter.

Seeing that Pei Shuhua also bore a child for Lu Chen, Ji Yunmeng’s feelings were incredibly mixed.

Even though she was at odds with Pei Shuhua, Pei Shuhua was still the Empress Dowager. How should she address Pei Shuhua in the future?

Lu Chen, that dog of a man, would claim any woman. Even Pei Shuhua, at her age, wasn’t spared.

Ji Yunmeng tried to calm her emotions. Things had reached this point; there was no use in overthinking it. In the future, they would each go their way.

She, herself, had limited interaction with the Empress Dowager, Pei Shuhua.

Pei Shuhua lived within the harem and seldom ventured out.

Few people knew Pei Shuhua bore Lu Chen a child, and even if they did, they might not guess that child was Lu Chen’s.

After lingering a moment, Ji Yunmeng left the Empress Dowager’s palace.

At this time, Lu Chen was in the cultivation room at Zhen Nan Prince Manor, absorbing the deceitful evil from the Deceit Pearl.

Lu Chen rarely actively cultivated, spending most of his time on dual cultivation with women.

After all, cultivation is a dull affair. If one could find joy during cultivation, why not?

Yet dual cultivation wasn’t without any drawbacks for him.

Previously, he thought dual cultivation had no drawbacks, but as he continued to engage in it with Yun Yudie and others, he gradually found himself becoming more decadent.

He even developed a strange dependency on those women.

This made Lu Chen feel uneasy. If he didn’t connect with them, he felt uncomfortable, compelled to maintain intimacy with them.

But in doing so, these Ancestors of the Strange would continuously devour his internal vitality, giving Lu Chen a whiff of conspiracy.

Despite being a great power who had lived countless ages, Lu Chen, though not strong enough yet, was cautious with the hidden secrets of this system.

In recent days, Lu Chen had started to gradually reduce his dual cultivation.

Of course, reducing dual cultivation didn’t mean totally giving up siring children, merely reducing the frequency.

After all, the Life Seed within him was limited, and excessively frequent activities, at most, provided pleasure, not much help in siring offspring.

Every time Lu Chen engaged with his concubines, he would be exhausted, and moderate rest actually benefits siring offspring.

Lu Chen once pursued quantity now he prioritized quality.

Lu Chen pondered ceaselessly: indulging daily dissipates energy.

Could he, refraining from touching Yun Yudie and others for some time, then, once his body healed, engage with them, allowing accumulated Life Seeds, ample enough, to withstand the deceitful evil and survive?

In the cultivation room, deceitful evil from the Deceit Pearl continually surged into Lu Chen’s body.

In mere moments, the deceitful evil within the Deceit Pearl was entirely drained.

Currently, with the Great Zhou Dynasty’s growing evil spirits, Deceit Pearls were not scarce, but Lu Chen’s cultivation method would deplete even endless supply.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in Lu Chen’s mind: "Ding, detected that Pei Shuhua has given birth to offspring for the host, rewarded with a drop of Undying Blood."

Hearing the system’s notification, Lu Chen immediately opened his eyes.
