LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 437: You wouldn't count me in as well, would you?_2
'''
And strangely enough, she seemed to actually prefer if Lu Chen continued to treat her just the way he had been doing, maybe, just as she said, her life was indeed worthless.
At that time, Lu Chen said, "You should go back to the Prince's Mansion to stay tonight. If you find yourself with too much free time, you can follow Qingci with her work in the future."
"Right, you will accompany me to the south this time."
Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong chuckled lightly and then said, "It seems that Master still doesn't trust this servant."
"Keeping this servant by your side at all times, are you afraid that, once you leave, this servant will harm those ladies you favor?"
Lu Chen didn't deny it; instead, he pulled on the rope again, and immediately Xue Linglong's head was raised, and the bell rang as Lu Chen continued to speak into her ear, "You are right, this prince indeed fears that you, a Demon Sect Sorceress, might harm my women, so I must keep you tethered to my side, to educate you at all times."
"If you don't obey, I will kill you!"
Instead of getting angry, Xue Linglong felt an immense excitement in her heart upon hearing Lu Chen's words.
At that moment, Lu Chen and Xue Linglong were close together, so he distinctly felt her body tense up with excitement. Lu Chen was almost certain now – this Demon Sect Sorceress really did have a problem.
The more he punished her, the more excited she got. He never expected to meet such a person in this world. Discover stories at empire
At that point, Xue Linglong coquettishly said, "Master is so fierce, this servant will obey."
Lu Chen fiercely said, "Don't think that by acting obedient, I will lower my guard. I will be keeping a close watch on you!"
Lu Chen's words caused Xue Linglong's heart to race even more, and she became increasingly excited.
However, just then, Lu Chen released Xue Linglong and standing up, he said, "That's enough for today. I have other business and must be going now."
By then Xue Linglong had returned to her normal state, she asked, "How does the Prince plan to deal with the Taiyin Divine Sect?"
"As this servant understands, if the Leader of the Taiyin Sect recovers his power, he might become even more formidable than a Celestial."
By now, Xue Linglong had been completely subdued by Lu Chen, and she began to worry about Lu Chen's situation.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Isn't he still far from recovering his strength right now?"
Xue Linglong thought about it, and that made sense.
Lu Chen continued, "You don't need to worry about the matters of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Although the Leader of the Taiyin Sect might be somewhat difficult to deal with, I am not a pushover."
"Once I have seized the throne of Great Sum, I will immediately deal with the Taiyin Divine Sect!"
Lu Chen indeed had some concerns about the cultivator from another world.
By the time the representatives from the Tai Chu Divine Hall and the Sunset Sword Sect arrived, he should nearly have conquered the throne of Great Sum. At that point, he would unite forces from all sides to strike against the Taiyin Divine Sect.
Seeing that Lu Chen already had a timeline in mind, Xue Linglong did not press the issue further.
By then, Lu Chen had finished dressing, and he scanned Xue Linglong once more, her delicate form, white skin, and long legs, a slender waist and seductive voice – such a female slave was indeed irresistible.
Feeling his fervent gaze upon her again, Xue Linglong involuntarily shivered slighty, wondering if the man had those thoughts again.
Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't make another move. He merely glanced her way and then said, "Your experiences are quite similar to Qingci's. You surely have many things in common to talk about, you should chat with her more in the future."
Having the same lack of parents since childhood, being raised by an organization, approaching Lu Chen because of a mission, and in the end, being tormented by Lu Chen to the point of death and rebirth, becoming his female slave, both body and mind subdued by him.
There were differences between them though; Wang Qingci was seductive and charming but did not possess the masochistic quality of Xue Linglong, perhaps because Xue Linglong was a Demon Sect Sorceress, it had twisted her mind in some way.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong said, "This servant understands. This servant will learn well from Lady Wang and serve Master in the future."
With a faint smile, Lu Chen said no more and left the room.
Once Lu Chen was gone, Xue Linglong glanced at the disheveled room and touched her distended belly.
She couldn't believe that in just one day, she felt like she had gained weight.
Alas...
It seemed she really couldn't escape this despicable man.
At that thought, Xue Linglong snorted coldly, this man was so brazen with her, not the least bit worried that she might be setting a trap. Wait and see, she thought, she would bear him several children and then exact her revenge, beating him through his own offspring.

At this thought, Xue Linglong felt much more at ease in her heart.
However, despite her thoughts, Xue Linglong began to channel her energy to expel the impurities within her body, after all, she didn't feel very comfortable with her current condition.
…
After Lu Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion.
A maid from Wu Junwan's quarters came seeking Lu Chen, mentioning that Princess Junwan had something she wished to discuss with him.
In his mind, Lu Chen thought, hadn't he just visited her chamber a few days ago, and now she couldn't wait again so soon?
They say that a woman at thirty is like a tiger...
But he hadn't felt that Princess Junwan was all that formidable, had he?
Lu Chen didn't think much further and headed straight for Princess Junwan's courtyard.
Upon entering Princess Junwan's courtyard, Lu Chen saw Princess Junwan sparring words with Murong Xue'er as if they were in the midst of an argument.
At that moment, Princess Junwan said to Murong Xue'er, "When Qingrou arrives at North Prince Mansion, I want to see if your mouth is still so sharp at belittling others."
With a laugh, Lu Chen interjected, "My Princess Junwan, how has Xue'er bothered you this time?"
After hearing Lu Chen's voice, Princess Junwan looked up at him and then said, "The maids of the Prince's Mansion do not act like maids, always talking back to their masters, and you, Prince, always indulge them."
Even though Murong Xue'er had her own room in the Prince's Mansion, compared to the status of Princess Junwan, she was indeed no more than a maid.
Lu Chen walked over to the pavilion, sat beside Murong Xue'er, and naturally wrapped his arm around her slender waist, saying, "Xue'er is not just any maid. She's an external officer from Great Jue sent to North Country."
With a cold snort, Princess Junwan remarked, "If she truly acknowledged herself as an external officer from Great Jue, she wouldn't dare to talk back to me every day."
After all, Princess Junwan was a good sister to the Empress of Da Yue, and even an official from Da Yue would treat her with great respect upon meeting her. Only Murong Xue'er, when facing her, did not take her seriously at all.
After all, Murong Xue'er now had a backing, and that was the man who was currently embracing her slender waist, whose hand was wandering over her body.
Lu Chen did not continue on this topic, but instead asked Princess Junwan, "The maid said you were looking for me. Don't tell me you're feeling lonely again and want me to ease your loneliness?"
Princess Junwan ignored Lu Chen's words and threw a letter onto the stone table, "Take a look."
Curious, Lu Chen picked up the letter and read it carefully. After finishing the content of the letter, a slight smile curled up on the corners of his mouth.
"Junwan, the Yue Emperor is supposed to be your good sister, and you betrayed her just like that?"
"You dared to show me the letter she wrote to you?"
Princess Junwan gave Lu Chen a dismissive look. This man was benefiting and yet still playing coy.
She very well knew that she had completely submitted to him, and yet here he was saying such things. Was this an insult to her?
Princess Junwan said, "I just feel she is no match for you and didn't want her to end up like me."
Nodding as he read the content of the letter, Lu Chen remarked, "Well, I must say, her plan is quite good, taking advantage of the vulnerability of North Country, creating chaos, then stealing the weaponry blueprints of North Country, and eventually kidnapping my wives and children, so after I take down Great Sum, she can threaten me with my family."
"Too bad..."
"Your good sister planned everything but failed to foresee that you were already my person."
With no expression on her face, Princess Junwan said, "Don't get ahead of yourself. If I hadn't cooperated with her, she would certainly have sent someone else."
Lu Chen casually said, "Let them come. There are not a few Grandmasters in Yan County, not to mention several within North Prince Mansion itself."
Looking into Lu Chen's eyes, Princess Junwan asked, "You wouldn't include me in that, would you?"
With a smile, Lu Chen replied, "You are now my wife. What, when North Prince Mansion is in danger, would you just stand by and watch?"
Princess Junwan fell silent. If North Prince Mansion were to face real danger, she would certainly not turn a blind eye.
However, when it came to the affairs between Lu Chen and the Empress of Da Yue, she truly did not want to get involved at all.
