Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao lay in Lu Chen’s embrace, incessantly sobbing, with Youyou’s eyes red from crying.

Wiping away her tears, Xiaoxiao said, “Prince, if we can’t hold back the Barbarian Tribe, you must head south.”

Youyou hugged Lu Chen around the waist, her head resting on his chest, “Wuwuwu… Prince, your concubine will wait in Anping City for your good news.”

At that moment, Mu Zixuan, who stood to one side, also gazed into Lu Chen’s eyes and said, “Prince, when your concubine leaves, you must take good care of yourself.”

Hearing their words, Lu Chen spoke with a smile, “Don’t worry, the war will be over soon, in no more than half a year.”

At the mention of half a year before they could see Lu Chen again, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou cried even harder, and even Mu Zixuan’s eyes reddened slightly, as if she was about to cry.

Lu Chen comforted them and said, “Alright, my darlings, no more crying. As soon as the war ends, I’ll immediately send for you to return.”

While Lu Chen comforted his wives and concubines, Chu Yuqin didn’t stand by him to say much; she had already spoken earlier what needed to be said to Lu Chen.

She believed Lu Chen knew what he had to do; Yuqin approached Bai Qingqing and said, “Little Bai, for the coming months, you’ll be the only one by Chen’er’s side. I entrust Chen’er’s safety to you.”

Yuqin spoke only of Bai Qingqing being by Lu Chen’s side, which naturally referred to Lu Chen’s women. The Prince’s Mansion couldn’t possibly be left empty; a substantial number of servants and maids were left behind.

After all, Lu Chen would still reside in the Prince’s Mansion; it wasn’t feasible for all the maids and servants to leave—if they did, who would take care of Lu Chen?

After hearing Yuqin’s words, Bai Qingqing softly “Mhm,” without saying much else.

Truth be told, Bai Qingqing hadn’t expected Lu Chen to leave only her by his side, which added worry to her heart.

Just thinking about the scenes of her and Lu Chen doing those intimate acts made Bai Qingqing feel a little agitated.

Once Lu Chen’s wives and concubines had left, she’d be the only woman left. Wouldn’t she have to cultivate a relationship with Lu Chen every day?

Even though she was a Grandmaster, the mere thought of Lu Chen’s fierceness made Bai Qingqing’s slender legs tremble slightly.

At this time, Wang Qingci approached Lu Chen. She was about to leave him and, as the one who had been most tormented by Lu Chen on a daily basis, she too felt extremely reluctant.

Looking into Lu Chen’s eyes, she asked, “Prince, are you really not considering letting your servant stay with you?”

Lu Chen said, “No need. Although you are my female slave, you are also my woman, and I don’t wish to see any harm come to you.”

Hearing this, warmth surged through Qingci’s heart. She had always thought that Lu Chen only saw her as a tool for release, but it turned out he genuinely cared for her.

Just then, something occurred to Lu Chen, and he said, “Right, starting today, you are to leave the Misty Pavilion; no need to continue hiding there.”

Hearing this, Qingci momentarily stiffened. She had always wanted to prove her value through her espionage in the Misty Pavilion.

As long as Prince Lu Shuyun remained a threat to Lu Chen, she could obtain early intelligence, proving her worth.

Lu Chen went on, “After arriving in North City, I’ve been the target of two assassination attempts by the Blood Moon Tower, and both times you were unharmed. Even Lu Shuyun, foolish as he is, would realize you’ve turned against him.”

Considering Lu Chen’s words, Qingci found some logic in them.

However, if she no longer acted undercover, how could she prove her worth? Was she really expected to stay by Lu Chen’s side every day as his sheath?

Seeing Qingci’s disappointed expression, Lu Chen continued, “After the war with the Barbarian Tribe is over, I will arrange a suitable job for you.”

At this, Qingci’s eyes brightened, and she immediately asked, “Prince, are you serious?”

Although unsure what job Lu Chen had in mind for her, she knew it was better than being idle.

Lu Chen nodded and said, “Yes.”

Although he hadn’t yet thought of what work to assign to Wang Qingci, he didn’t intend to let her idle away either. With such an enchanting and seductive woman like Wang Qingci around him, he found it very difficult to control himself.

Even though the women by his side were all extremely beautiful, it was Wang Qingci alone who could drive him insane. After all, she was his female slave, and every time Lu Chen thought of that, he desired to push her to her limits.

Such a woman wasn’t suited to stay by his side forever. If Wang Qingci managed to deceive all his feelings, how could his other concubines bear him children?

Meanwhile.

From a distance, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun stood still, quietly watching Lu Chen say his farewells to his wives and concubines.

This scene surprised them both, as Lu Chen was said to be a licentious prince, but his wives and concubines seemed to share a deep affection with him.

Indeed, all the intelligence about the North Prince collected by their Mysterious Moon Palace was false; not a single piece matched the actual North Prince.

Of course, Chen Wanrong didn’t believe there was a problem with their palace’s intelligence; she thought instead that the North Prince was incredibly cunning, not an ordinary man.

Otherwise, the world wouldn’t be filled with rumors that the North Prince was useless.

At this moment, Lin Wanyun, beside Chen Wanrong, sighed and said, “I hope the North Prince can successfully resist the southward invasion of the Barbarian Tribe and survive.”

After all, Lu Chen was the son of her good friend, and Lin Wanyun genuinely hoped for his survival, regardless of her own position.

As for using Lu Chen’s blood to craft the Subtle Dragon Spell, that was a concern for later.

Lin Wanyun glanced at Chen Wanrong, who was quietly observing Lu Chen, who was still saying goodbye to his wives and concubines.

This scene reminded her of the day when her father emperor had sent them away from the Chen Nation capital.

Back then, they were just as reluctant to leave.

When she returned to the Chen Nation capital, everything had changed, and her father emperor and the royal relatives had all turned to dry bones.

At this point, Chen Wanrong felt an urge to abandon the plan of using Lu Chen to create the Subtle Dragon Spell.

She didn’t want to shatter this beautiful tableau.

Once everyone had said their farewells to Lu Chen, he declared, “All right, let’s set off and aim to reach Anping City as soon as possible!”

Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, after boarding the carriage, kept saying through the window, “Prince, please take care of yourself!”

“Prince, your humble concubine will always wait for your news, sob, sob, sob…”

Lu Chen, unlike his wives and concubines, who were crying their hearts out, smiled and waved goodbye to them.

Watching the caravan gradually disappear into the distance, Lu Chen suddenly felt relieved. With his important people gone, he too could now prepare for the decisive battle against the Barbarian Tribe.

Then, Lu Chen turned and headed back to the Prince’s Mansion.

The caravan headed south with Mu Zixuan and the others was very large, comprising not only the Prince’s Mansion’s coaches but also those from Mu Mansion, as well as some common citizenry.

For their safety, Lu Chen had especially commissioned Mu Xingping to lead a detachment of the Brocade Guard to escort them southward and had also arranged for several Ninth Grade martial artists.

Safety was certainly guaranteed.

When the common folks of North City saw such a large caravan moving south, they understood that something significant must have happened in North City.

Over the following few days, rumors spread throughout North City that the Barbarian Tribe was about to invade from the south and that, in order to save himself, the North Prince had abandoned the people of North City and fled..
