Chapter 2436 - 2126: Did You Already Know There Were No Treasures Inside?

The ruins have just been opened, and although all the forces have noticed, they are some distance from the imperial mausoleum of Dazhou, and it will take some time for them to arrive.

Today, only scouts from some Outer Domain forces have arrived; the main disciples of those forces have yet to come.

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Pei Shuhua became even more puzzled. Could he be telling the truth?

But Lu Chen isn’t mysterious or an evil spirit, so how did he get inside?

Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua asked, "Why can you go in?"

This guy had said at the entrance of the ruins that he could go in because he was of the Heavenly Realm, but now he’s telling her that only he and spiritual evils can enter, excluding the Heavenly Realm.

If the Heavenly Realm can’t enter, how did he come out just now?

Lu Chen smiled, "Because I have a unique physique."

Pei Shuhua immediately frowned, what kind of reason is that?

She couldn’t believe it.

But since Lu Chen was unwilling to say more, she couldn’t do anything about it. She had to wait for the disciples of the Outer Domain forces to arrive.

When those disciples from the Outer Domain forces arrive, they can see if they can enter those ruins.

Pei Shuhua thought to herself, if it’s really as Lu Chen said, that only he and the spiritual evils can enter, then she must find a way to get the spiritual evils to help her obtain the inheritance, or make a deal with Lu Chen to see if he can help Qionghua Holy Land acquire the Ancient Inheritance inside.

But the Ancient Inheritance is so important. If Lu Chen does acquire it, would he hand it over to Qionghua Holy Land?

Most likely not.

After all, it is the inheritance left by the Ancient Great Power. Now, Lu Chen is already in the Heavenly Realm and is just a step away from the King Realm.

In Central State, the King Realm is considered a powerful existence. The Ancient Inheritance is crucial for Lu Chen, and its temptation for him is evident.

It seems they can only wait for the restriction on the Border Wilderness to be lifted, and let the elders of Qionghua Holy Land personally speak with Lu Chen.

After a moment of silence, Pei Shuhua asked again, "Since you can enter the Ancient Ruins, why didn’t you look for the Ancient Inheritance but came out so early?"

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "I’m not interested in the Ancient Inheritance inside; I’m only responsible for sending Ji Yunmeng in."

Hearing this, Pei Shuhua’s heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty also went in? Why could she enter? Didn’t you just say that besides you, only the mysterious and evil spirits can enter?"

Lu Chen said directly, "Yes, because our majesty is not human."

Lu Chen wasn’t afraid to reveal Ji Yunmeng’s identity to Pei Shuhua, as telling her wouldn’t affect them anyway.

Pei Shuhua was stunned by Lu Chen’s words.

Those three women from before not being human was one thing; she wasn’t familiar with them and didn’t know their identities.

But now Lu Chen was saying that the Emperor Ji Yunmeng wasn’t human.

This guy wouldn’t be playing a prank on her, right?

Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua suspiciously stared into Lu Chen’s eyes, trying to see if he was lying.

However, Lu Chen’s eyes were profound and calm, showing no signs of deceit.

But Lu Chen’s words were unbelievable.

At this moment, Lu Chen smiled and said to Pei Shuhua, "Actually, not only our majesty, but you’re not human either."

As Lu Chen’s words became more absurd, Pei Shuhua’s face instantly darkened.

What is this man saying?

If anyone isn’t like a human, it’s him.

Remembering how this guy constantly annoyed her before, Pei Shuhua felt extremely angry.

This beast actually dared to say she wasn’t human.

Perceiving Pei Shuhua’s anger, Lu Chen calmly said, "Try going to that vortex later, maybe you can go in too."

Pei Shuhua looked speechlessly at Lu Chen.

This guy wouldn’t be sending her to her death?

After all, she is now Lu Xinxin’s mother, and she has a child.

If she, as a mother, died, wouldn’t Lu Xinxin be motherless?

Who would take care of Lu Xinxin then, does Lu Chen plan to raise the child?

That seems unlikely.

If Lu Chen wanted to raise the child, he would’ve acted directly, why concoct such lies to lure her to her death?

With Lu Chen’s strength, killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Could it be that Lu Chen isn’t lying to her?

Could she truly enter the ruins?

If that’s the case, why didn’t Lu Chen let her enter before, and instead brought her back?

At this time, Pei Shuhua looked into Lu Chen’s eyes and asked, "Are you saying I can also enter that ruin alive?"

Lu Chen replied, "Naturally."

Pei Shuhua coldly asked, "Then why did you bring me back just now?"

Lu Chen responded, "You just gave birth, and there’s a child who needs to be cared for. What if something happens in that kind of place? What would happen to the child? There might be unknown dangers in the ruins."

Hearing this, Pei Shuhua became more annoyed.

So that’s how this guy thinks.

No, she must quickly enter herself, not let the Ancient Inheritance fall into the hands of others.

Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua prepared to leave.

But just as she was about to leave the room, she felt a pressure envelop her.

Instinctively, Pei Shuhua turned her head to look at Lu Chen, seeing his smiling face watching her, she clenched her Jade Fist slightly, knowing this guy wouldn’t let her go.

Lu Chen said, "Others from Qionghua Holy Land can enter, but you cannot. Until the child grows up, you must stay in the Imperial Palace to take care of Xinxin."

Seeing Lu Chen speak so bluntly, Pei Shuhua asked, "Are you afraid that I’ll obtain the Ancient Inheritance?"

Lu Chen replied, "You can think of it that way."

Pei Shuhua snorted coldly and stopped speaking with Lu Chen.

She then returned to the bed to check on the child.

This wretched man, if he won’t let her go, then so be it.

When the restrictions on the Border Wilderness disappear and Qionghua Holy Land’s people come to the Border Wilderness, he better not expect her to plead for him.

Lu Chen stayed in the Imperial Palace overnight, waiting for Ji Yunmeng to return.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen sensed Ji Yunmeng’s presence. As soon as she returned to the sleeping quarters, Lu Chen appeared at her door.

Seeing no joy on Ji Yunmeng’s face, Lu Chen asked, "How was it inside? Did you find any treasures you needed?"

Ji Yunmeng asked coldly, "Did you already know there were no treasures inside?"

How easily he left that realm, it was obvious he knew there was nothing good there, or else why would he leave so promptly?

She had wandered inside all night, besides some herbs, there was nothing else. The only useful thing inside the ruins was the spiritual evil. The spiritual evil there was very abundant, and one didn’t need the Deceit Pearl to absorb it for tempering the physical body.

Lu Chen said, "Hearing you say that, there was nothing inside?"

Ji Yunmeng replied coldly, "Didn’t you already know?"

Lu Chen, that deceitful fellow, was pretending again. Clearly knowing there was nothing inside, yet acting unaware.

Thinking that the only treasure in the ruins had fallen into Lu Chen’s hands, Ji Yunmeng felt even more furious.

While Ji Yunmeng’s inner fury burned, Lu Chen approached her, directly wrapping his arm around her waist, whispering gently in her ear, "Your Majesty, busy all night, you must be tired. Let me serve you well and give you a massage."

With that, Lu Chen embraced her and led her towards the bed.

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Yunmeng suddenly lost her temper.
