Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Zixuan slightly spaced out.

In her eyes, Wang Qingci was indeed nothing more than an ordinary Oiran.

Lu Chen continued, “She is a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, the Saintess of the Misty Pavilion.”

Mu Zixuan’s mind jolted, as she had no knowledge of what force Misty Pavilion represented.

But for a Ninth Grade Martial Artist to end up at a place like the Hundred Flowers Tower to become an Oiran clearly indicated some sort of conspiracy.

Now Mu Zixuan understood why Wang Qingci suddenly sought to get close to her.

It seemed that ordering soap was just a pretext, while the real intention was to get close to the Prince.

Mu Zixuan quickly said, “Your Highness, this servant has erred, not knowing her true identity and leading the wolf into the house. This servant is willing to accept punishment!”

Lu Chen lifted his hand and caressed Mu Zixuan’s delicate nose, smiling as he said, “Those who don’t know are not guilty; I don’t blame you.”

Mu Zixuan then asked, “What does Your Highness plan to do with her and the Hundred Flowers Tower next?”

Lu Chen did not answer directly but instead looked at the teapot on the stone table and said, “My love, did you feel anything special after drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea just now?”

Mu Zixuan thought for a moment, special feelings?

“After drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, I felt very refreshed.”

Lu Chen continued to ask, “Anything else? For example, any agitation in your body?”

As he spoke, Lu Chen’s hands were rubbing Mu Zixuan’s stomach, causing her face to instantly flush red as she immediately understood what Lu Chen was inquiring.

“Just now, scenes of our wedding night suddenly came to my mind, and those images lingered incessantly.”

Lu Chen said, “That’s the effect of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.”

“The Dragon and Phoenix Tea cultivated with my blood will make the woman who drinks it develop affection toward me.”

By now, Mu Zixuan’s favorability towards him had already reached ninety-five, so there was no need to conceal the tea’s effect from her.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Zixuan immediately reacted, saying that was why she suddenly had a strong desire to be close to Lu Chen. It was the influence of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan recalled how, upon Wang Qingci’s departure, Lu Chen had given her two liang of Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

Mu Zixuan then asked, “Your Highness gives Dragon and Phoenix Tea to Wang Qingci; is it that you intend to win her over?”

Lu Chen replied, “The Misty Pavilion sent me a Ninth Grade beauty of peerless elegance; how could I not accept her?”

Mu Zixuan said, “This servant congratulates Your Highness on soon winning over a Ninth Grade expert.”

Lu Chen merely smiled slightly, without saying much more.

…

After spending some warm moments in the pavilion with Mu Zixuan, Lu Chen felt a bit restless and thus headed to the northern courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were quietly waiting in their room. Although they were already Lu Chen’s women, they were still very much looking forward to his visit.

Unlike marrying a principal wife, taking a concubine involved fewer formalities; after the banquet, they could proceed to the main affair.

Lu Chen entered the room and found the two sisters sitting on the bed. He brewed a pot of Dragon and Phoenix Tea and said to them, “Xiaoxiao, Youyou, come here and try the tea I’ve brewed.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou didn’t understand why Lu Chen wanted them to drink tea at such a time, but since Lu Chen was the Prince, they just needed to obey.

The two sisters approached the table, picked up the teacups, and took a sip of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

After drinking the tea, Zhou Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, “Your Highness, what kind of tea is this that smells so sweet?”

Lu Chen wrapped an arm around Zhou Xiaoxiao’s slender waist and smilingly answered, “This is Dragon and Phoenix Tea; it will help us concentrate better later.”

The sisters’ faces immediately turned bright red.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen did not make any more advances. He suddenly remembered he still had a pill he hadn’t taken.

In his Newbie Gift Pack was a Dragon and Tiger Pill, also with a simple purpose: to enhance his battle power.

He hadn’t taken it yet because he hadn’t needed it before; as a First Grade Martial Artist, his physical capabilities were multiple times better than those of ordinary people, and handling the three delicate women like Mu Zixuan posed no problem at all.

“`

But the pill would simply be left unused anyway, so I might as well use it now, given that its effects are permanent.

With that thought, Lu Chen took out the Dragon and Tiger Pill from the system space and popped it straight into his mouth.

The taste of the Dragon and Tiger Pill wasn’t anything special, just like eating a sugar bean.

After swallowing the Dragon and Tiger Pill, Lu Chen didn’t feel anything.

Lu Chen was somewhat puzzled. Could it be the pill had expired?

After all, it was from the Newbie Gift Pack, an item from two months ago.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, the fragrance from Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister Youyou wafted into his nose, and the next moment, Lu Chen suddenly felt a surge in his blood qi, and his body became exceptionally hot.

Lu Chen frowned, realizing he might have underestimated this thing.

Next, Lu Chen had no choice but to rely on the Zhou sisters to help alleviate the adverse condition in his body.

…

[Ding! Host has cultivated affection with his wives once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points increased by 10, broken through to the first layer, host’s realm has advanced to Fourth Grade.]

[Ding! Host has cultivated affection with his wives once, Rejuvenating Skill experience points increased by 10, congratulations to the host for unlocking the Rejuvenating Skill.]

[Congratulations to the host for impregnating Zhou Xiaoxiao, you have obtained the method to make perfume.]

[The pregnancy reward is an encouragement award, please host try your best to ensure the child is safely born, the rewards for having offspring will be even richer.]

A series of system prompts made Lu Chen, who had just calmed down, very excited.

At this time, he felt his body become lighter and his vitality even more abundant.

If the Zhou sisters hadn’t already fallen asleep, he would have liked to continue cultivating affection with them.

Lu Chen then opened his system panel to check on his current status.

Host: Lu Chen

Realm: Fourth Grade

Cultivation Technique: Qi Refinement Mantra [First Layer], Rejuvenating Skill [Just unlocked]

Divine Skills: None

Weapons: Desert Eagle, Barrett, Hand Grenade

Offspring: None

Seeing the words “First Layer” after Qi Refinement Mantra, Lu Chen couldn’t help but think that just by breaking through to the first layer of Qi Refinement Mantra, his realm had jumped directly from First Grade to Fourth Grade.

If he broke through to the second layer of Qi Refinement Mantra, wouldn’t he become a Grandmaster?

What if he broke through to the tenth layer?

Would he become an Immortal?

As Lu Chen fantasized about becoming an Immortal in the future, the system prompt sounded.

[Please host remain down-to-earth and avoid excessive fantasizing. This world does not allow the birth of Immortals.]

Hearing the system’s prompt, Lu Chen paused for a moment.

But he didn’t pay it much mind. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t become an Immortal, as long as he could still use the Qi Refinement Mantra.

Advancing his realm through the Qi Refinement Mantra was much faster than through training.

After improving just one layer of Qi Refinement Mantra, his realm reached Fourth Grade. By the time he advanced to the second layer, he would be close to Grandmaster level even if he hadn’t reached it.

But then again, even becoming a Grandmaster in this world would only make him more capable than most martial artists at best.

The moment Lu Chen realized he could take down a Ninth Grade martial artist instantly with just his Desert Eagle, he suddenly felt that becoming a Grandmaster didn’t seem like such a big deal.

After all, before guns, all lives are equal.

His own strength was just an enhancement of his capability for self-preservation, nothing more.
