Chapter 2456 - 2146: Are You Really So Kind-Hearted?

Lu Chen’s heart was filled with joy; it seemed that as his realm improved, his perception of the Burial Furnace would become clearer. If he breaks through to a higher realm, he might be able to sense the location of the Burial Furnace.

Seeing that he could no longer absorb any more spiritual evil, Lu Chen adjusted his own aura and stopped absorbing the spiritual evil.

After adjusting his state, Lu Chen descended from the sky, landing directly in Xue Linglong’s courtyard.

When he was breaking through just now, he noticed Xue Linglong staring intently at him, seemingly longing for him. She must have been waiting impatiently.

Landing in front of Xue Linglong, Lu Chen showed a slightly teasing expression and then asked, "It’s been so long since you’ve seen me, you must have missed me, right?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Xue Linglong snapped back to reality and said coldly, "I thought you were tired of me and had lost interest."

As soon as Xue Linglong finished speaking, Lu Chen stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, leaned on her fragrant shoulder and whispered in her ear, "How could that be? You haven’t even borne children for me yet, how could I get tired of you?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong frowned and said, "So, you’re saying that once I’ve borne you children, you’ll lose interest in me?"

Lu Chen replied, "I never said anything like that."

"Alright, let’s not waste time; it’s been so long since we last saw each other. Let’s catch up."

With that, Lu Chen lifted Xue Linglong in a princess hug.

Fearing she might lose her balance, Xue Linglong quickly raised her lotus-like arms to wrap around Lu Chen’s neck.

With a push of his legs, Lu Chen’s body turned into a shadow and swiftly arrived in Xue Linglong’s room, placing her on the bed.

At this moment, Xue Linglong suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "You’re the one who left me for a month; that month doesn’t count within our agreed three months."

There was less than a month left in her agreement with Lu Chen, and she doubted she could conceive within this time.

When Lu Chen was in the Heavenly Realm, she couldn’t conceive even after a month, let alone now he’s in the King Realm.

It’s even harder for someone in the King Realm to conceive; not just a month, but even a year might not be enough.

Upon hearing her, Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don’t worry; even if you don’t conceive this last month, I can extend it by a few more months since I’m already in the King Realm."

Xue Linglong looked doubtful, asking, "Are you really that kind?"

Lu Chen replied, "I’m not unreasonable."

Seeing Lu Chen’s reassurance, Xue Linglong felt relieved; indeed, a month’s time was too short.

Lu Chen then took off his clothes, came directly to the bed, and looked into Xue Linglong’s eyes, saying, "Alright, we should get to the proper business."

With those words, he leaned down and kissed her lips.

Mm... mm...

Having not been intimate with Lu Chen for over a month, his sudden directness caught Xue Linglong off guard.

But after a brief moment of kissing, she quickly got into the mood.

Perhaps due to Lu Chen’s recent breakthrough, his vigor was particularly intense.

For a long time afterward, Lu Chen stayed with Xue Linglong, making it hard for her to endure.

Since Lu Chen’s breakthrough, Wu Junwan had been wanting to meet him, but every time she sent people to find him, they returned saying Lu Chen was in Lady Xue’s room and was unavailable.

In the blink of an eye, months passed, and Lu Chen was still in Xue Linglong’s room, causing Wu Junwan to become anxious.

Lu Chen, that rogue, left her pregnant and then ignored her.

Her greatest fear now was that Xue Linglong might entice Lu Chen to join the Sky Demon Sect.

A figure like Lu Chen, with terrifyingly formidable talent—if he joined the Sky Demon Sect, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would face another formidable enemy.

Therefore, under no circumstances should Lu Chen be seduced by that demoness, but she herself was currently confined in Zhen Nan Prince Manor and couldn’t meet Lu Chen.

Meanwhile.

At the foot of the towering, invisible city wall, numerous flying boats converged, gathering various Central State forces behind the wall.

At this moment, the wall had become illusory, looking as if it might disappear at any moment.

This was the restriction of the Border Wilderness, with over a dozen cracks appearing on the wall, showing signs of widening and not recovering.

Previously, when they sent disciples of their respective factions into the Border Wilderness, the cracks would swiftly heal, and each faction only sent a small number of disciples.

Now that the cracks were no longer closing, it became possible to send more people into the Border Wilderness.

There was only one Ancient Inheritance, so each faction sought to quickly dispatch more people to compete for it.

Many flying boats from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty hovered in front of a crack.

On a massive flying boat’s deck, a man in full gilded armor gazed at the nearby crack.

The man’s armor was layered, with battle patterns etched on every piece, high shoulder armor resembling beast ears, and dark red patterns hidden in the armor’s gaps, evoking an ancient blood glow.

He was tall and sturdy, broad-chested and broad-backed, with sharp eyebrows and a defined, angular face beneath his helmet.

The man, named Zhao Xuange, was the heir of the Zhao family within the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and served as one of its Great Generals, with strength at the Early-stage King Realm.

Originally, he was not supposed to lead this expedition to the Border Wilderness, but he eagerly petitioned Emperor Yan for the opportunity to lead, so he could see Wu Junwan as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the Border Wilderness restriction was still in place, barring those in the King Realm from entering.

As the Border Wilderness’s restriction faded, spirit martial artists in the Early Heaven Realm could cross through the cracks.

At this moment, a black-armored soldier beside Zhao Xuange spoke, "Once inside the Border Wilderness, first locate the princess and ensure her safety; then, seek the Ancient Ruins."

"If the princess encounters any danger inside, make all efforts to rescue her."

The black-armored soldier immediately bowed and said, "Yes, General."

"Alright, you all may enter now."

As Zhao Xuange’s voice fell, Sun Bai led thousands of soldiers toward the nearby cracks.

Once inside the Border Wilderness, Sun Bai realized only a few hundred had entered, with most soldiers blocked by the restriction.

Witnessing this scene, Sun Bai was puzzled; being an Early Heaven Realm spirit martial artist allowed him entry, so why were soldiers of lower realms blocked?

Could there be a restriction on numbers?

Zhao Xuange, watching from afar, held similar suspicions seeing the soldiers stopped outside.

However, he wasn’t particularly concerned; despite only having a couple hundred enter, as long as Sun Bai in the Early Heaven Realm was there, the Border Desolate Natives could only submit to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

Of course, he similarly ignored the other factions from Central State.

Though Sun Bai was of the Early Heaven Realm, his strength approached the Mid Heavenly Realm, posing a challenge to typical Early Heaven practitioners.

As long as the Central State factions didn’t unite against the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, Sun Bai would have no rivals inside.
