Chapter 2447 - 2137: I Will Not Break My Word

Xue Linglong was somewhat frightened.

If one could live, who would want to die?

If the only way to survive was to bear children for Lu Chen, then she had no choice but to agree with him, even if it meant being expelled from the Sky Demon Sect or being branded a traitor. Those were problems for the future; she had to survive to even consider them.

Xue Linglong then said, "I am an Earth Realm Spirit Warrior. It’s not easy to conceive offspring."

Seeing Xue Linglong suddenly mention this, Lu Chen knew she had been intimidated by him.

Lu Chen’s lips curled slightly, and then he smiled, "I know, but if we try enough times, you’ll surely get pregnant."

"Among my women, several Earth Realms have already borne children for me."

Xue Linglong was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Several Earth Realms have given birth to his children?

If she really agreed with Lu Chen, wouldn’t she end up pregnant with his child too?

Nonetheless, she could always pretend to agree and then use contraceptive measures.

This way, she could save her life without bearing children for him.

If Lu Chen asked, she could say her constitution was special and not easily impregnated.

Thinking this, Xue Linglong said, "I can agree with you. If I don’t get pregnant, you can’t blame me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Are you thinking of pretending to agree, and then clean yourself with spiritual evil after each time so you don’t have to bear my offspring?"

Xue Linglong’s heart skipped a beat; she hadn’t expected him to see through her intentions so quickly.

Regaining composure, she immediately said, "I won’t go back on my word."

Lu Chen said, "Your words have no credibility at all; you’re part of the Sky Demon Sect, and I’ve never heard of someone cultivating evil cultivation who keeps their promises."

Seeing Lu Chen didn’t believe her, Xue Linglong said, "If you don’t trust me, there’s nothing I can do."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "No, there is a way."

Xue Linglong asked puzzledly, "What way?"

Lu Chen replied, "We can set a time limit. If you don’t conceive my child within three months, it means you don’t really want to, and you know the consequences."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong was a bit dazed.

Three months?

What a joke!

Even if she wanted to get pregnant with Lu Chen’s child, three months might not be enough, no matter how frequently they engage.

Regaining her senses, Xue Linglong promptly said, "If you want to kill me, just say it instead of pretending with a time limit. It’s hard enough for Earth Realm Spirit Warriors to bear children, even more so for you being a Heavenly Realm, making it even harder for us to conceive."

Lu Chen said, "Didn’t I just say several of my women have already conceived? They managed within three months, and I believe you can too."

Xue Linglong fell into silence, unsure of what to say.

Should she really agree with Lu Chen?

But it seemed like she had no other choice now, even if she refused, what could she do?

Wait three months for Lu Chen to kill her with one strike?

Seeing Xue Linglong remain silent, Lu Chen said, "Since you’re not speaking, I’ll take it as agreement. Don’t worry; in these three months, I’ll devote all my energy to ensuring you get pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong was so infuriated her teeth itched, but she was helpless against Lu Chen.

This jerk was practically inhuman.

Even if Lu Chen could truly make her conceive within three months, it would involve constant encounters, leaving her exhausted beyond measure.

She deeply regretted venturing into this wretched land, meeting such a nemesis.

Xue Linglong had no means against such a rogue.

Had she been captured by the Heavenly Pride of a Righteous Sect, he would’ve sought benefits from her; as a Saintess of the Sky Demon Sect, she could be leveraged to exchange for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, rather than being pressured into childbearing.

Only this scoundrel would consider getting her pregnant; he truly had no fear of death.

At that moment, Lu Chen flipped and pinned her beneath him, gazing into her eyes and said, "Good, three months isn’t long, nor short; we better get started."

Xue Linglong was left speechless.

She was tormented by him until the brink last night, and this brute wanted to repeat it?

The next month was filled with Lu Chen engaging with Xue Linglong.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunmeng led the armies of Dazhou in clearing all Outer Domain individuals and their established forces within its borders.

As the Outer Domain inhabitants were expelled, Dazhou’s Qi Fortune began to gradually recover.

However, during this period, Ji Yunmeng gradually realized that the mysterious forces and evil spirits within Dazhou hadn’t decreased; instead, they became more blatant.

Ji Yunmeng later sent people to investigate and discovered that behind these mysterious forces and evil spirits lurked the same power, known as the Heavenly Fate Sect.

Controlled by Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

This revelation shocked Ji Yunmeng.

Lu Chen could command mysterious forces and evil spirits, how could he do it?

Could he himself be a mysterious entity?

Ji Yunmeng didn’t delve further; knowing these forces were linked to Lu Chen, she didn’t bother, as long as they didn’t cause trouble.

Moreover, these mysterious forces seemed to have learned to coexist peacefully with humans.

Gradually, the Deceit Suppression Bureau’s work also changed somewhat.

Previously, the Bureau would capture at any sight of a mysterious force, and kill any evil spirit.

Now, their role was more about mediating conflicts between mysterious forces, evil spirits, and humans.

Of course, if a mysterious force or evil spirit harmed humans, the Bureau would deal with them accordingly.

Imperial Palace.

Empress Dowager’s chamber.

Pei Shuhua sat beside the crib, gazing out the window in a daze.

She had heard of Chen Min’s situation; now the majority from Qionghua Holy Land were captured, and among disciples sent to Border Wilderness, only she was still free besides Chen Min.

Moreover, according to Lu Chen, she was the only one from Qionghua Holy Land able to access Ancient Ruins.

She had wanted to sneak out of the Imperial Palace and attempt entrance to the ruins, but feared being discovered by Lu Chen.

Currently, she stayed in the palace, caring for the child; nothing else to do.

Peering at Lu Xinxin giggling at her from the crib, Pei Shuhua sighed softly.

What a mess.

Once a Heavenly Pride of Holy Land, now relegated to a housewife, caring for a child daily.

If word gets back to Qionghua Holy Land, she’d surely be deemed an embarrassment.

Her return was unlikely, all because of that despicable man.

He vanished somewhere, not appearing for a month; did he abandon her and the child?

At this point, a maid approached her, saying, "Madam, someone secretly slipped you a letter."
