[Ding! Congratulations to the host for once again possessing a woman, you've obtained the Poison Immunity Pill.]
[The host and Wang Qingci have nurtured a bond, as a result, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points increase by 20, Rejuvenating Skill experience points increase by 10.]
Although the system notification chimed in his ear, Lu Chen was now in no mood to pay any attention to it.
He had completely lost his mind, and he realized why Wang Qingci had a rating of 95; even though they were all above ninety, this woman was the cream of the crop, making it impossible for him to control himself.
At that moment.
At the entrance of the main courtyard.
Mu Zixuan was anxiously waiting, yet at that moment, they seemed to faintly hear sounds coming from the room.
Hearing this sound, Mu Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like the Prince had succeeded.
Following this, there would be another Ninth Grade expert in Prince's Mansion.
Chu Yuqin's face was somewhat flushed at this time.
The Princess Consort was bringing her to eavesdrop by the wall, which gave her a strange feeling inside.
Recently, in the quiet of the night, she would always think of Lu Chen's handsome face, followed by an endless feeling of emptiness and loneliness.
Chu Yuqin constantly reminded herself that Lu Chen was her sister's son, and it was not right for her to have such feelings for him, but by day, her gaze would invariably and involuntarily steal glances at Lu Chen.
Every time she heard the mingled sounds of Lu Chen with other women, her restlessness grew harder to suppress, and to make things worse, the rascal Lu Chen liked to be unruly in the inner courtyard.
If things continued like this, she feared she might really do something inappropriate.
At that moment, Chu Yuqin quickly exerted her skill to stabilize her mind and avoid overthinking.
While exerting her skill, she continued to remind herself internally.
"Chen'er is Yue's son; I absolutely must not harbor improper thoughts!"
At this time, Mu Zixuan, who was next to her, saw Chu Yuqin close her eyes and her face turn crimson, and she couldn't help but giggle behind her hand.
After all, she was a woman, and moreover one who had never known the touch of a man—it would be rather abnormal if those sounds did not affect her.
But this also showed that in her heart, Chu Yuqin did harbor thoughts about the Prince; it was only because of the status between them that she had been repressing her romantic feelings.
It was at this moment that Mu Zixuan suddenly thought of something.
It seemed that recently Chu Yuqin had consistently been drinking Dragon and Phoenix Tea.
Others may not know the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, and so would not understand what drinking it implied, but she knew because Lu Chen had told her.
Thinking to herself, Mu Zixuan wondered if the Prince was truly planning to make Chu Yuqin his woman?
Right now, he had managed to subdue Wang Qingci, a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, with the help of Dragon and Phoenix Tea, and Chu Yuqin was also drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea. This meant that sooner or later, if Lu Chen insisted on making Chu Yuqin his woman, she would be unable to resist.
With this thought in mind, Mu Zixuan looked at Chu Yuqin with a meaningful gaze.
It looked like Chu Yuqin would never be able to escape the clutches of their Prince for the rest of her life.
Painful times are very long, joyful times are very fleeting.
But the length and brevity of time are all relative.
For instance, Lu Chen felt that time was fleeting, while Wang Qingci thought it agonizingly long.
Wang Qingci had tried every possible way to escape, but in the end, she would always be pulled back by Lu Chen.
Her humiliation was beyond measure, a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, she had actually fallen into the hands of an ordinary man today, and she did not even know how she had been ensnared.
After an unknown number of hours had passed, Lu Chen held Wang Qingci tightly by the waist and said with a laugh in her ear, "Qingci, I never expected that you, an Oiran of the Hundred Flowers Tower, would still be a virgin."
"It seems that I'm rather lucky."
At that moment, Lu Chen's words were like the whispers of a demon.
Wang Qingci clenched her teeth, wanting to curse him out, but ultimately she held back.
She had to find a way to leave the Prince's Mansion, to escape this place that had brought her so much humiliation.
Once her skills had recovered, she would come back and kill the man who had taken her virginity.
Wang Qingci then spoke in a coquettish tone, "Prince, please let me go, I really can't take it anymore."
Hearing Wang Qingci's voice, Lu Chen felt even more agitated.
Lu Chen said, "Qingci, how about you stay in the Prince's Mansion from now on? I will buy you and you can serve me forever."
These words made Wang Qingci's face turn deathly pale.
She quickly said, "My Prince, I still have lots of things in the Hundred Flowers Tower. If you truly wish to buy me, please let me return to the Hundred Flowers Tower to retrieve my things for the Prince's Mansion."
As Lu Chen caressed Wang Qingci's jade back, he said, "Those things are not necessary. We can buy new ones. After all, the Prince's Mansion is not lacking silver."
Wang Qingci hurriedly searched for another excuse, "My Prince, I grew up in the Hundred Flowers Tower and I have very deep feelings for the sisters there. I find it hard to part from them."
"If you truly hold affection for me, could you perhaps give me some time to say goodbye to them?"
Now, she could only play the emotional card to make Lu Chen let her go.
Lu Chen said, "Alright, I'll give you one month. How does that sound?"
In her heart, Wang Qingci thought, One month? Perfect, the people from the Blood Moon Tower will be here soon. In one month, this guy's dead. She wanted to personally deal with him and vent the hatred in her heart.
Although that's what she thought, Wang Qingci's tone remained seductive, "Thank you for your generosity, my Prince. I will surely serve you well in the future."
Looking at Wang Qingci's fair body, Lu Chen couldn't help but deepen their connection once again.
After what seemed like an eternity, Lu Chen finally let Wang Qingci leave.
As Wang Qingci walked out of the Prince's Mansion, her body was still trembling uncontrollably, she was so feeble that she needed the maidservants of the Mansion to support her as she walked.
The moment Wang Qingci turned her head for a last look at the plaque of the Prince's Mansion, her expression instantaneously turned icy cold, her eyes flickering with intense murderous intent.
"North Prince, just you wait, your day of reckoning is near!"
After inwardly swearing her resolve, Wang Qingci turned around and went back to the Hundred Flowers Tower.
After Wang Qingci had left, Lu Chen came out of the room, just in time to see Chu Yuqin and Mu Zixuan.
At that moment, Mu Zixuan said, "Congratulations, my Prince, for capturing the beauty's heart."
Lu Chen moved close to Mu Zixuan, wrapping his arms around her, and then said tenderly, "All this I owe to your arrangements, my darling."
Just then, Chu Yuqin interjected, "Chen'er, I've noticed you've been more frivolous lately, even bringing an oiran into our home. If word gets out, what would the people of North City think of you? You are their Prince, after all."
Hearing Chu Yuqin's reprimand, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Madam Chu, actually, I have my reasons."
Upon hearing that, Chu Yuqin was taken aback, then asked, "What reasons?"
Although Chu Yuqin felt that Lu Chen was just making excuses for his lechery, she was not like most people; she usually would listen to Lu Chen's explanation.
Lu Chen then said to Mu Zixuan, "Darling, you explain to Madam Chu about my reasons."
Mu Zixuan was stunned. How would she know Lu Chen's reasons?
Wasn't her husband simply fond of beautiful women?
Nevertheless, Mu Zixuan quickly recovered and then said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, I will discuss the Prince's affairs with you later. He truly has reasons."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin looked at Mu Zixuan with skepticism, now seriously doubting whether Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan were putting on an act together. After all, husband and wife are often in cahoots, but she had no evidence.
Then Chu Yuqin chose not to say more. "I'm going to patrol. You two talk."
