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

Seeing Murong Xue'er's disbelief in his words, Lu Chen said indifferently, "In a few days, Zhuge Zhongguang will make a public appearance, and then you will be able to confirm whether this information is true or false."

Murong Xue'er's brows furrowed slightly. The North Prince was willing to let Zhuge Zhongguang make a public appearance?

Could it be that Zhuge Zhongguang really hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm? Then why would the North Prince reveal at this time that Zhuge Zhongguang hadn't made the breakthrough?

Considering the situation of North Country, the country should be trying to conceal this matter, allowing other forces or dynasties to speculate whether Zhuge Zhongguang had broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm or not. Only with ambiguous intelligence would no power dare to harm North Country.

How could North Country simply because of some rumors, be unable to withstand the pressure, and then take the initiative to publish the news that Zhuge Zhongguang hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm? This all seemed very wrong to Murong Xue'er.

Just as Murong Xue'er was pondering what exactly the North Prince was scheming, Lu Chen suddenly tightened his embrace around Murong Xue'er's body, and then, pushing her slowly towards the bedside, he said while walking, "My dear Xue'er, since you're going back, I don't know when we will meet again. I must make sure you leave satisfied today."

Upon hearing these words, Murong Xue'er's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to foresee the torment she would receive later on.

After all, the North Prince had laid his cards on the table with her. There was no need for him to be friendly towards her any longer. He could do as he pleased, considering she was nothing but a spy from Great Jue.

At this moment, Lu Chen slowly placed Murong Xue'er on the bed before he pressed down on her. Murong Xue'er was about to say something, but Lu Chen instantly sealed her lips with his.

Murong Xue'er eventually gave up struggling. She could feel the strength of Lu Chen was immense, and she clearly understood that at this moment, any attempt to resist him would be futile, so it was better to submit to him.

Perhaps after Lu Chen had his way, he would release her. Although she was dispatched to North Country to gather intelligence for Great Jue, her official identity was as an envoy for Great Jue. As long as North Country didn't intend to directly fall out with Great Jue, the North Prince wouldn't threaten her life, so her safety was not an issue.

However, she feared that she would have to suffer some hardship afterward.

Soon Murong Xue'er became dazed from Lu Chen's kisses, eventually letting him do as he pleased.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lu Chen suddenly lifted her body. Murong Xue'er's consciousness regained some clarity. Fearing that she might fall, she hastened to wrap her legs around Lu Chen's body.

Lu Chen walked to the desk and placed her body on it. Then, raising his hand, he summoned items through the air. The next moment, red pigment and a brush flew onto the table from within the study.

At this time, Murong Xue'er was lying stiff on the table, her eyes hazy as she looked at Lu Chen. Then she asked, "Huh... Prince... what are you doing?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I'm drawing the Virgin Mark. Didn't I tell you? I will definitely restore the Virgin Mark onto your body."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er let out a feeble snort of derision and then said, "We've already reached this point, does the Prince think whether or not there's a Virgin Mark important?"

Lu Chen had already seen through her intention to get close to him. After she returned to report to the Empress on North Country's situation, the Yue Emperor would most likely not let her come back to North Country again.

Furthermore, her failure in this mission might lead the Yue Emperor to stop trusting her in the future. She had been in North Country for so long, gathering only such scant intelligence, and yet she had been so easily uncovered by the North Prince. The Empress would probably be very disappointed in her.

In the future, she might no longer be trusted and favored by the Empress, so whether or not there was a Virgin Mark was already irrelevant.

No sooner had Murong Xue'er finished her sentence than Lu Chen pressed down firmly, causing Murong Xue'er to utter "uh-ah" twice. Lu Chen picked up the brush, then spoke, "I'm a bit curious. If I remember correctly, all your family members, including your parents, were executed for opposing the Yue Emperor, which implicated the entire clan."

"Logically, the Yue Emperor should be your greatest enemy. Yet, I'm curious why you seem so loyal to her?"

Upon hearing this question, Murong Xue'er took two deep breaths, and then said, "My... Although my parents died because of the Yue Emperor, I was still young at the time. If it weren't for the Yue Emperor taking me into the palace to raise and protect me tenderly, I would not have lived to see today, nor would I have my current power. So, I should thank the Yue Emperor."

Hearing her words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're treating a thief as your parent, oh no, it should be as your mother."

Murong Xue'er continued, "My family has long passed away, and whatever I do, they won't come back to life. Does the Prince think I should avenge my family, only to repeat their mistakes and lose everything I have now?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Unfortunately, even if you don't avenge your family, if you fail in your mission this time and return to Great Jue, I fear the Yue Emperor won't value you anymore."

Murong Xue'er fell silent after hearing Lu Chen's words, as she was indeed worried about this.

It was then that Lu Chen began to draw on Murong Xue'er's lower abdomen. As he drew, he said, "How about this? Let's cooperate. When you go back this time, don't tell the Yue Emperor that I've uncovered this matter. Just report normally the intelligence you've gathered in North Country. This way, you can still be held in high esteem by the Yue Emperor.

How about it?"

Murong Xue'er let out a light chuckle, then said, "Is the Prince trying to make me betray His Majesty?"

Lu Chen responded with a smile, "From the moment you climbed onto my bed, you had already betrayed your Emperor."

Murong Xue'er fell silent again, emitting only a humming sound from her throat.

After a while, Lu Chen continued, "It's not that I am making you betray your Emperor. It's that you have no choice but to be with me."

"Your failure in this mission will inevitably lead to the Empress's disappointment in you. Moreover, being the daughter of a criminal, do you think you will ever be valued again?"

"There is another thing. I think you might be misunderstanding something. I want you to be mine, not because I value your identity or plan to use it for any purpose. I merely want you as a person; I desire your heart."

Murong Xue'er let out a soft snort at this point, saying, "Does the Prince really think I am a naive girl who will believe his sweet nothings?"

Lu Chen said, "Sweet nothings? I am quite sincere with my words."

At this point, the two fell into a prolonged silence. The sensations in Murong Xue'er's body prevented her from thinking rationally. She didn't know what to do now; betraying the Yue Emperor was difficult for her, as she had been raised by the Emperor since she was a child. She had no memory of her parents, no emotional attachment.

In her eyes, the Yue Emperor seemed more like her mother. The thought of betraying her felt incredibly difficult.

But...

Should she really return and reveal that she had been exposed, perhaps she would no longer be valued. Moreover, now that North Prince had taken her virginity, without her pure reputation, she would find it hard to continue staying by the Yue Emperor's side.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er was anxious. In her anxiety, her consciousness became more and more blurred, until she gradually sank into certain matters.

Who knows how much time passed, but eventually, Lu Chen finished restoring Murong Xue'er's virgin mark. He then picked up the completely limp Murong Xue'er and returned to the bed.

He was still very confident in himself, and he believed that Murong Xue'er would ultimately choose to cooperate with him.
