Chapter 2450 - 2140: I Think We Can Work Together

Seeing that two hours were about to pass, Wu Junwan still hadn’t come out.

Lu Chen’s actions in the sky left Ji Yunmeng speechless.

How could this guy be so naive?

Did he really believe that by killing a few people, he could force Wu Junwan out?

He needed to know that Wu Junwan was the Great Yan Empress, and her true identity was the princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty. Would someone of such esteemed identity come out to die for a few soldiers?

Even if it were her, the Emperor of Dazhou, she would not die for Dazhou’s soldiers.

Ji Yunmeng couldn’t quite understand what Lu Chen was trying to do.

Honestly, Lu Chen was merely trying to see if he could force Wu Junwan out.

He didn’t have high hopes for this method; if it didn’t work, he’d try another approach.

Suddenly, Lu Chen took out a mirror exuding seven-colored light, then activated the Shadow Tracing Mirror with spiritual evil.

This mirror was borrowed by Lu Chen from Chu Qingli.

The Shadow Tracing Mirror could recreate events that happened in a certain place, or trace the existence of others through those who had interacted with them.

Qing Li and his people could only use the mirror’s first function and could not use it to track others.

But Lu Chen was different; he was at the late-stage Heavenly Realm, and his spiritual evil was sufficient to activate the Shadow Tracing Mirror for tracking people or objects.

At this moment, the Shadow Tracing Mirror displayed images of Wu Junwan and that Great Yan soldier. Lu Chen immediately focused the scene on Wu Junwan and continued channeling spiritual evil into the mirror.

Wu Junwan was standing by the window, peering through the gap to see Lu Chen in the Heavenly Palace. For some reason, she had a bad premonition, as if something was watching her.

However, she comforted herself, thinking Lu Chen was pretending just to force her to leave her spot.

At such moments, she knew she couldn’t panic, no matter what Lu Chen did. She was determined to see if he could find her.

As time passed, the feeling of being watched grew stronger for Wu Junwan.

Suddenly, she remembered something. Seeing Lu Chen’s mirror, it became increasingly familiar to her.

Although she didn’t know about the Shadow Tracing Mirror itself, she’d heard of such magical artifacts that could track people and objects.

Upon realizing it, alarm bells went off in Wu Junwan’s mind, and she immediately prepared to escape, but it was too late.

Suddenly, a bright light emitted from Lu Chen’s Shadow Tracing Mirror, directly illuminating the window of the tavern where Wu Junwan was staying.

Before Wu Junwan could leave, Lu Chen’s silhouette flickered, appearing at the window.

The aura around Lu Chen burst through the window, and what met his eyes was Wu Junwan’s exquisitely beautiful face.

However, Wu Junwan’s face showed no panic.

By this point, escaping was meaningless for her.

She’d heard that even the demoness from the Sky Demon Sect had been captured by Lu Chen.

Given her understanding of the Sky Demon Sect, they possessed countless life-saving measures, yet they couldn’t escape Lu Chen’s grasp.

It seemed Lu Chen had a special magic treasure to prevent their escape.

At this moment, even if she wanted to escape, she might not get away. Moreover, she had a life-saving talisman that would trigger passively if her life were in danger.

So, she wasn’t in a hurry and simply stood in place.

Seeing Wu Junwan standing there, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on him, Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Why don’t you run?"

Wu Junwan calmly replied, "I’ve heard even the demoness from the Sky Demon Sect couldn’t escape your grasp. If I tried to escape now, it’s already too late."

"Indeed, the Great Yan Empress recognized the situation so quickly."

"You’re right, even if you had an Earth Escape Talisman, I could easily catch you."

Wu Junwan asked, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Upon hearing Wu Junwan’s question, Lu Chen smiled slightly. Nearly every ancestor of the strange he captured asked him this question.

Then, Lu Chen entered the room through the window, walked to the table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then opened a system to check Wu Junwan’s identity in this world.

[Name: Wu Junwan]

[Identity: Princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.]

[Status: She has passive life-saving measures. Even if the host wants to kill her, it can’t harm her life. She’s trying to see what the host intends to do, wondering if she can convince the host to side with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.]

[Cultivation State: Late-stage Earth Realm]

[Score: 100]

[Favorability: 20]

After reading Wu Junwan’s profile, Lu Chen was slightly surprised.

It wasn’t the life-saving measures on her that surprised him, but her favorability towards him, which was 20 points.

Wu Junwan had no previous interactions with him in this world; this should have been her first time seeing him, so how did she suddenly gain 20 points of favorability?

Even Wu Junwan herself didn’t know why she felt a bit of goodwill towards Lu Chen.

When she saw Lu Chen, she felt a familiarity, as if she’d seen him somewhere before.

Coming back to himself, Lu Chen smiled and said to Wu Junwan, "I didn’t expect you to be a princess of the Immortal Dynasty. Your dynasty is really something, dispatching someone of such noble identity to this remote place."

Wu Junwan wasn’t surprised to hear Lu Chen state her identity outright. After all, Dazhou had captured many soldiers from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty. Among those soldiers, some would have been unable to withstand the torture in Dazhou, thus revealing their true identities.

Lu Chen probably learned about her true identity through those soldiers.

Lu Chen continued, "You can stand here, calmly talking with me because you have life-saving cards on you, right?"

"If I tried to harm you, your life-saving talisman would immediately trigger."

Wu Junwan remained silent.

She guessed that Lu Chen knew about her life-saving cards also from the soldiers of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

Lu Chen then put down the teacup, stood up, walked over to Wu Junwan, and after circling her to appraise her, he focused on her eyes, which showed no fear, and said, "Rest assured, I won’t take your life."

"I believe we can work together."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan curiously asked, "What do you want to do?"

She hadn’t even started persuading Lu Chen to side with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, and he himself was already proposing cooperation.

Could Lu Chen have realized the strength of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and was afraid of revenge when the restrictions were lifted, thus yielding?

While Wu Junwan was thinking this, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Bear my children, and I’ll let your people from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty enter the ancient ruins."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan’s face instantly darkened.

She initially thought Lu Chen’s idea of cooperation meant ensuring her safety after the restrictions were lifted, with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s protection in return. To her surprise, this guy actually had designs on her body, not only wanting to sleep with her but also intending to impregnate her.
