Hearing Lin Wanyun's words, Lu Chen pushed the door open and entered. After entering the room, he casually closed the door and slid the bolt into place.
Having done all this, Lu Chen turned his head to look at the beautiful woman not far away. At this moment, Lin Wanyun's pretty face was slightly red, and she looked tense, as if she was afraid of something being discovered.
Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Madam Lin, I just saw Miss Chen leave the Prince's Mansion. Where is she going tonight?"
Lin Wanyun replied with a blushing face, "The Brocade Guard are all over Yan County, so how could you possibly not know where she is going."
Lu Chen walked up to Lin Wanyun, naturally placing his large hand on her buttocks before embracing her slender waist.
Touched by Lu Chen in this way, Lin Wanyun's delicate body trembled once again. Although she had indulged in that kind of fleeting affair with Lu Chen many times, she couldn't help but feel especially nervous every time they were in contact.
On one hand, it was because she felt extremely ashamed, and on the other hand, she was very afraid of her affairs being discovered by Chen Wanrong, harboring a deep sense of guilt inside.
At that moment, Lin Wanyun asked, "How long will it generally take for the poison in the Palace Master to take effect?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't take effect so easily. Without taking the antidote, ten days to half a month won't be a problem."
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun felt a bit relieved. If it wasn't going to be a problem for ten days to half a month, then it would likely not affect Miss Chen too much, considering she was only out for one night.
Just then, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Madam Lin, I've noticed that you seem to have gained quite a bit of weight recently, and there's more and more flesh on your body."
As he spoke, Lu Chen's hand gently pinched Lin Wanyun's waist.
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun gave a cold hum with an icy expression and did not speak.
Lu Chen went on to say, "What were you doing in the room just now? Why did I find you looking very panicked when I came in?"
Lin Wanyun quickly said, "I wasn't doing anything."
She didn't want Lu Chen to know that she was preparing clothes for the child. If this little rascal found out, he might think she had completely submitted to him, that she had fallen for him in her heart, and then he would become even more unrestrained.
Seeing Lin Wanyun's face showing panic again, Lu Chen knew she must be hiding something from him. Then, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and directly picked her up, carrying her onto the bed.
Lin Wanyun did not struggle, knowing what was going to happen next.
After laying Lin Wanyun on the bed, Lu Chen pressed her beneath him, lifted his upper body, and looked down at her blushing cheeks from above.
"Do you remember what I told you before? Why don't you and Miss Chen both marry me, that way you won't have to worry about me harming Miss Chen."
Lin Wanyun stared into Lu Chen's profound eyes, her heart pounding uncontrollably, her mind filled with images of their indulgent activities, but she was still lucid at this moment.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lin Wanyun replied without hesitation, "Impossible, I will never agree to that."
"You wish to possess Rongrong's body, only over my dead body."
Lin Wanyun didn't believe Lu Chen at all, even though she knew she couldn't live without him and would likely spend her life in the North Prince Mansion. But she would never allow Chen Wanrong to end up like her.
Chen Wanrong had her own affairs, her own future—how could she stay in the North Prince Mansion bearing children for Lu Chen?
Even if Lu Chen were to be Emperor one day, it wouldn't do. Chen Wanrong was the Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace, and cultivation was what she should focus on. The mundane matters of this world were merely a part of her life's experience.
Lu Chen, this little rascal, he already had so many women and still wasn't satisfied. He even wanted Chen Wanrong to bear his children.
Seeing Lin Wanyun's strong reaction, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Making you die is easy."
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun's heart skipped a beat.
She thought Lu Chen had grown tired of her, so to prevent her from interfering with his relationship with Chen Wanrong, he intended to make a fatal move against her.
After all, they had started on opposite sides; Lu Chen's words were unreliable, so killing her would be quite normal.
At this moment, Lin Wanyun felt for her own Inner Strength, realizing it had disappeared just as it had before when she was with Lu Chen—clearly, he had sealed it away.
She was just a Half-step Grandmaster; against a Grandmaster, she had no chance of winning.
With this thought, Lin Wanyun closed her eyes and put on a resigned expression. "Do it then!"
Seeing this, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth lifted slightly. How could he possibly kill Lin Wanyun? She clearly had the wrong idea.
Then, Lu Chen leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "There are many ways to die—for instance, dying beautifully..."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lin Wanyun was somewhat puzzled. Dying beautifully? What kind of death was that?
Before Lin Wanyun could understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words, she felt her lips covered by a warm presence, "Mmm mmm mmm..."
After Lu Chen kissed Lin Wanyun, he began to get handsy. Since Lin Wanyun wanted to experience the feeling of death, he'd fulfill her wish.
In a tavern opened by the Mysterious Moon Palace in the south of Yan County.
Chen Wanrong, dressed in white, sat on a bed on the second floor. Downstairs were some old ministers from the Chen Nation.
