Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

After Bai Qingqing became Lu Chen's woman, she spent most of her time with him. Despite being bestowed the title of Noble Concubine, her duties essentially remained serving Lu Chen.

Having spent much time with Lu Chen, Bai Qingqing also learned quite a bit about how to take care of people.

At this moment, Lu Chen still held the Great Qian scroll in his hands, occasionally casting glances with the corner of his eye at the aloof beauty in front of him.

Bai Qingqing had indeed studied earnestly, and Lu Chen was particularly satisfied with her subtle skills at this time.

It was then that Lu Chen thought to himself that, now being a Celestial, he wondered if it would be even more difficult than before to sire children in the future.

While lost in thought, Bai Qingqing suddenly coughed, looking very uncomfortable, prompting Lu Chen to quickly pat her on the back.

After recovering, Bai Qingqing, with a flushed face, thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "Alright, that will be all."

Hearing this, Bai Qingqing thought Lu Chen meant to conclude the matter, and she promptly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As her words fell, Bai Qingqing was about to rise and leave, but as soon as she got up, Lu Chen grabbed her wrist and pulled her entire being into his embrace.

Bai Qingqing's mind went blank for a moment, and she did not struggle, allowing Lu Chen to dote on her.

In a soft whisper into Bai Qingqing's ear, Lu Chen said, "Bai, you see that all your sisters have had children. When will you also bear one for me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing's body grew even hotter, and she melted into Lu Chen's arms; if it weren't for him holding her, she would have probably collapsed on the floor.

Then Bai Qingqing softly said, "As long as your servant can conceive, your servant will bear a child for Your Majesty."

Bai Qingqing was actually not particularly keen on bearing Lu Chen's children. Of course, it wasn't because she disliked Lu Chen, but because she felt that if she bore him children, she wouldn't be able to serve by Lu Chen's side as she had before.

If she had a child, she would certainly need to look after it. Compared to a child, she preferred staying by Lu Chen's side.

Once her emotions were restored, she developed a strong dependency on Lu Chen.

But she also understood that Lu Chen seemed to have an obsession with children, especially liking them. Since Lu Chen liked them so much, she thought bearing one for him wouldn't be a problem.

Only she didn't know whether she could conceive. The higher the level of a Martial Artist, the harder it was to have offspring, and now that Lu Chen was a Celestial, the difficulty of having children was even greater.

After hearing Bai Qingqing's words, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Servant? Bai, haven't I told you to call me 'darling' when we're alone and not to refer to yourself as a servant?"

Bai Qingqing immediately corrected herself, "This servant knows her mistake."

Lu Chen again questioned, "This servant?"

Bai Qingqing quickly corrected herself once more, "This concubine is at fault, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Saying so, Bai Qingqing lifted her head to look at Lu Chen's handsome face, which at that moment sported a mischievous smile as he gazed at her.

Lu Chen's hand slipped into Bai Qingqing's clothing as he said against her face, "Indeed, you should be punished to ensure you don't forget my words."

With that, Lu Chen kissed Bai Qingqing's red lips, and afterward, she let Lu Chen have his way with her.

Soon, sounds of Bai Qingqing calling "darling" and "good brother" emanated from the Imperial Study Room.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lu Chen finally stopped punishing Bai Qingqing. He glanced at his system interface subconsciously; he thought he had heard a system notification sound just now.

[Host has cultivated affection with a wife once, Qi Training Mantra experience points increase…]

[Congratulations to the host for aiding Noble Concubine Bai Qingqing in conceiving, rewarded with Bilo Dragon Crystal.]

Seeing the system interface before him, Lu Chen laughed lightly; almost all of his cultivation techniques had reached full completion, and there wasn't much room for improvement left.

At this time, Lu Chen's gaze fell upon the reward for Bai Qingqing's conception, and he felt somewhat pleased. He had originally thought that becoming a Celestial would make it even more difficult to impregnate his wives.

Bai Qingqing had just conceived not long ago; it seemed that he'd have no further worries about this matter.

He should check the use of the Bilo Dragon Crystal rewarded by the system, and with that thought, Lu Chen clicked to open the description of the Bilo Dragon Crystal.

[Bilo Dragon Crystal: A reverse scale from an ancient divine dragon, a material needed to repair the Heavenly Dao of this world.]

Reading the description, Lu Chen was stunned.

Repair the Heavenly Dao of this world?

He remembered that after the Reincarnation Stone was unsealed, it could also be used to repair the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that to fix the Heavenly Dao of this world and improve its natural laws, a considerable number of materials were needed? Not just the Reincarnation Stone?

Forget it, he should wait until his three children were born, to see what the system might reward him with then.

In a few decades, the barriers of the Misty World would disappear; hopefully, he wouldn't be awarded something useless then.

At that thought, Lu Chen came back to his senses and gently stroked the cool beauty lying in his arms. Bai Qingqing's jade arms were wrapped around Lu Chen's sturdy waist, her face resting on his chest.

The scent of this man brought her immense reassurance.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Bai, you should head back to Yan County tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing instantly snapped out of her dazed state.

Back to Yan County?

Why was Lu Chen sending her back to Yan County?

Had she done something to displease him?

Bai Qingqing felt a surge of anxiety.

She hurriedly looked up, peering into Lu Chen's eyes as she asked, "Your Majesty, has your concubine not pleased you enough? I can still..."

Hearing Bai Qingqing's words, Lu Chen smiled slightly, then lifted his hand to caress her cheek, saying, "That's not it. You're already carrying my child, and I won't be returning to Yan County for a while. I don't want any accidents to befall our child, so I'm planning to have you head back first to nurture the pregnancy."

Lu Chen needed to stay in Great Qian for a while and stabilize things. After that, he had one more task—to visit Fengyin Island.

He had long wanted to see Fengyin Island but hadn't found the time, as the world had not yet been unified. Now that the world was united, and state affairs could be managed by his ministers, he finally had some free time.

He wanted to see for himself what the metal structure on Fengyin Island was, whether it was indeed a spaceship.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Bai Qingqing was momentarily lost in thought.

Was there a child in her womb?

So soon...

Well, there was nothing for it.

Bai Qingqing suddenly felt very dejected, but then she said, "Your concubine understands."

Lu Chen continued, "After you return, let Zixuan and the others know not to worry too much about me. I'll come back to Yan County after I've taken care of my affairs."

Bai Qingqing replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced out the window at the night sky and went on, "We should also rest; let's change locations."

As he spoke, Lu Chen wrapped his arms around Bai Qingqing's hips and stood up. The next moment, using Shadow Shifting, he arrived at his temporary sleeping quarters and placed Bai Qingqing on his own bed.

Sensing Lu Chen's intense gaze, Bai Qingqing instantly understood his intentions; after all, they had just been interrupted, so they could continue what they had started earlier.
