Chu Yuqin felt that if things continued this way, there would be trouble.

Thereupon, she said to Lu Chen with embarrassment and anger, “Chen'er, if you don't let go of your auntie, I'm going to get angry!”

Seeing Chu Yuqin's flushed cheeks and her angry expression, Lu Chen had no choice but to let her go.

Lu Chen was in no rush at the moment. Women in ancient times cared deeply about their reputation. Even though Chu Yuqin's favorability was very high, she probably couldn't accept a romantic relationship with him just yet. He figured he just needed to wear her down slowly.

When Lu Chen released her, Chu Yuqin quickly retreated a few steps, putting some distance between them, but she didn't continue to scold him.

Chu Yuqin sensed her own skill and, realizing it had returned, she curiously asked, “Chen'er, my skill just disappeared. Does that have something to do with your opportunity?”

Lu Chen replied, “Yes, it has a certain relation to the cultivation technique I'm practicing.”

“Any woman who harbors affection for me will temporarily lose her skill and feel weak all over upon coming into contact with my body.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin instantly understood the implication behind Lu Chen's words.

She glared at him and then, with her face flushed, she spat out, “You little rascal, spouting nonsense, I am your aunt!”

“Enough with the nonsense, I have to go on patrol.”

Before she finished speaking, Chu Yuqin turned and left—or more accurately, she turned and fled.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin felt as if her heart was about to leap out, and her body had become incredibly hot.

What had she just heard?

That little rascal was actually targeting her!

How dare he think such thoughts—she was his aunt, after all!

Even though they were not related by blood and she had watched him grow up since he was a child.

And she was a widow, although still a virgin, having never known a man. How could he think of her like that!

However, on second thought, she herself had also begun to lose control just now. When she was in the Capital city, she often checked Lu Chen's body and never experienced the feelings she had today.

In just a few months' time, she actually started having those kinds of thoughts about Lu Chen.

Chu Yuqin felt a bit guilty in her heart. How could she harbor other thoughts about Lu Chen?

Chu Yuqin sighed and murmured to herself, “Alas, it seems that Chen'er has really grown up, becoming more and more manly. I will have to keep my distance from him in the future.”

Afterwards, Chu Yuqin started to cultivate, trying to calm her agitated body.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen stood there, watching Chu Yuqin's voluptuous figure and charming silhouette, feeling as if his body was about to burst into flames.

He then immediately went to the north courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Youyou had just gotten up, preparing to go see Mu Zixuan.

“Xiao Huan, I'm going to Sister Mu's place first. Come over after you're finished tidying up,” she said.

No sooner had Zhou Youyou spoken than she stepped out of the door.

Yet she had just left when she bumped into Lu Chen.

Without a word, Lu Chen scooped Zhou Youyou's delicate body into his arms and walked into the room.

Zhou Youyou let out a startled cry, “Ah, Prince.”

Hearing Zhou Youyou's voice, the maid Xiao Huan, who was tidying up the bed, quickly turned her head.

Seeing Lu Chen holding Zhou Youyou, Xiao Huan immediately blushed, knowing all too well what was about to happen as a maid in the Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Huan quickly stepped aside and left the room, closing the door behind her.

[Host and Zhou Youyou fostered affection once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points increased by 10, Rejuvenating Skill experience points increased by 20.]

[Congratulations on successfully impregnating Zhou Youyou, you are awarded ten thousand jin of breeding potatoes.]

[Pregnancy rewards are incentive-based and therefore modest. A richer reward will be granted upon the successful birth of the child.]

Once his body had settled down, Lu Chen felt much better.

Today's events made Lu Chen realize that he needed to break through to the Ninth Grade soon, otherwise it would be easy for problems to arise if he could not control his own body.

In the mansion, in the inner courtyard, it didn't matter much what he did, since everyone there was family.

But if one day he left the Prince's Mansion and went outside, if he still couldn't control himself upon seeing pretty women, he would lose a great deal of face.

After calming down, Lu Chen looked down at the little beauty in his arms.

Zhou Youyou had her eyes slightly closed at that moment, her cheeks flushed, and her arm, tender like lotus roots, resting on his shoulder.

Zhou Youyou belonged to the type that was petite and adorable. Lu Chen felt a tinge of guilt, thinking about how he had been building a relationship with her recently, barely letting her get proper rest.

Although she was his woman, Lu Chen never treated her as a mere tool for bearing children; he genuinely liked them.

At that moment, Lu Chen glanced at the reward he had just received and a smile appeared on his face. Then, he gently caressed Zhou Youyou's skin, whispering in her ear, “Youyou, you truly are my lucky star.”

With ten thousand catties of breeding potatoes, it wouldn't take many years to have the whole North City cultivating potatoes.

North City, due to its cold climate, wasn't suitable for growing rice, and the yield of wheat wasn't high either.

But potatoes were different, the soil in North City was just right for their cultivation.

Once North City began growing potatoes, they would have an additional food source, and the people would no longer suffer from a lack of grain.

In an agricultural society, what is most important? Of course, it's the grain.

Having grain in hand ensures a heart free from panic.

After returning to the Hundred Flowers Tower, the old woman from yesterday approached Wang Qingci again.

“Saintess, how did the investigation go last night?”

Wang Qingci replied indifferently, “I haven't found any trace of the Mysterious Grandmaster, only Chu Yuqin, a Ninth Grade, was in the inner yard.”

Hearing this, the old woman immediately said, “Saintess, since the Mysterious Grandmaster is no longer in the North Prince Mansion, let's make our move tonight!”

Wang Qingci frowned slightly, then asked, “Madam Yu, you seem to be in a hurry?”

Chen Yu hurriedly spoke, “Saintess, this task was given to us by Prince Lu Shuyun. If we end up completing the task only after the people from Blood Moon Tower have arrived, your position in the eyes of Prince Lu Shuyun will plummet.”

“It would be better to complete the task before Blood Moon Tower arrives. That way, Prince Lu Shuyun can see your worth.”

Wang Qingci then said, “There's no need. Since Prince Lu Shuyun has already sent people from Blood Moon Tower, it's to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“If we act prematurely and spook the target, causing the assassination mission to fail, we in the Misty Pavilion cannot bear the consequences of Prince Lu Shuyun's blame.”

Seeing that Wang Qingci had made up her mind, Chen Yu did not dare to argue further.

A few hours later.

North City, Yonorth City.

A group of people dressed in black and red sat in a tavern. Suddenly, a bird landed on the shoulder of a man wearing a bamboo hat.

The man caught the bird and removed a slip of paper tied to its claw, then unfolded it to read.

After reading the contents, the corners of the man's mouth lifted slightly.

“Excellent! Now that the Grandmaster has left, it's time for you, worthless Prince, to join my brothers below!”

In the evening.

Another shadow appeared in the inner yard of the Prince's Mansion.

A different time, the same place, the same person.

As Chu Yuqin saw the shadow and was about to draw her sword, she heard the shadow speak, “Madam Chu, still up so late? You're working hard for the Prince's safety. It seems you really care about the Prince deeply.”

Hearing it was Wang Qingci's voice, Chu Yuqin scoffed, “Sneaking around, what a sight!”

Even though Lu Chen had told her in the morning that Wang Qingci was his person and that he had full control over them,

Chu Yuqin felt somewhat uneasy for no known reason. She had no favorability towards this Wang Qingci.

Just as Wang Qingci was about to say something, she heard Lu Chen's voice coming from the room.

“Qingci, if you're here then come inside quickly.”

Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Wang Qingci had no choice but to bypass Chu Yuqin and enter Lu Chen's room.

The previous night, while building a relationship with Wang Qingci, Lu Chen realized that he wasn't gaining any experience points for his Qi Refinement Mantra.

He asked the system only to find out that a woman could only provide him with experience once a day.

He had already built a relationship with Wang Qingci during the day, so naturally, there were no experience points at night.

Having no other option, Lu Chen had asked Wang Qingci to come every night for the next few days.

He needed to advance to the Ninth Grade Realm as soon as possible..
