SWNOVELXO Chapter 438 I am still very confident in my wife_1
One is a close sister with whom she had experienced life and death, the other is her man; Wu Junwan found it very difficult to make a choice.
But Wu Junwan also knew clearly that a contest between Lu Chen and the Yue Emperor was bound to have a victor.
As of now, it appeared that Lu Chen had a better chance of winning, after all, the North Country had already amassed such formidable military strength, and Lu Chen also had the support of the Mysterious Moon Palace.
The thought of her dear sister eventually getting hurt caused a faint pain in Wu Junwan's heart.
The Yue Emperor walked the Unfeeling Tao; if she were ruined by this young man, could she still become a true Celestial?
Seeing Wu Junwan fall silent, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I am still very confident in my wife."
At this point, Wu Junwan asked, "If one day, you truly defeat the Yue Emperor, what do you plan to do with her?"
Hearing this question, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "It seems you have asked me this question no less than five times."
"My answer remains the same, if she is my type, I would make her my woman, and have her bear my children."
"If she is not my type, for your sake, I would not kill her and would even allow you two to be together."
Although everyone says the Empress of Da Yue is very beautiful, Lu Chen had never seen her, he truly did not know what she looked like.
The critical point is very important, the world is full of beautiful women; when Lu Chen publicly took concubines in the past, many ladies from noble families also came, most of them also very beautiful, but none reached a score of ninety.
Ninety is Lu Chen's bottom line, if they do not reach ninety, he definitely would not take them.
If he were to take every woman who did not reach a score of ninety into his harem, with so many beautiful women in the world, could he even cope?
Moreover, from the standpoint of benefit, women who did not reach a score of ninety did not have much use to him.
So whether Lu Chen would take the Empress of Da Yue into his harem still needed him to see the Empress of Da Yue with his own eyes, only by seeing her in person would he know if she met the criteria to be his woman.
Hearing Lu Chen say he would allow the Yue Emperor to be with her, Wu Junwan's face revealed a strange expression; he always felt Lu Chen seemed to know something.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about these things, I'm not the kind of person who revels in slaughter."
Lu Chen's words had no persuasive power for Wu Junwan; after all, Lu Chen was a ruler, and a ruler who aimed to unify the entire world at that. Even if he was reluctant to kill, in the end, for the sake of unifying the world under his rule, he would inevitably have to kill many.
Especially members of other countries' imperial families.
If he did not take out those members of the imperial family, how could Lu Chen possibly settle his rule?
But then again, perhaps Lu Chen would be different towards female rulers, especially beautiful rulers like the Yue Emperor.
This lascivious young man would most likely treat her as a trophy of war, just as he did with his own.
Thinking this, Wu Junwan sighed softly in her heart.
"If the North Prince Mansion faces any danger, this Palace will act at the first notice."
Hearing Wu Junwan's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I knew my lady would not stand by and watch the North Prince Mansion come to harm."
Wu Junwan said lightly, "I hope your journey south goes smoothly, that you ascend as the Great Xia Emperor soon, and quickly unify the entire world."
Lu Chen said, "Oh? So, you also support my unification of the world now?"

Wu Junwan said, "This palace merely does not wish to see the common people suffer from the ravages of war any longer. We have been at war for thousands of years; might as well finish it all at once this time."
Lu Chen said, "It's impossible to finish it all at once, as there are still some of our enemies in the Misty World. When they emerge, war will surely ignite again."
"However, after the unification of the several great dynasties, the common people's lives will definitely be better than now, since resources will be redistributed, and the people of all major dynasties will benefit."
At this moment, Wu Junwan glanced at Lu Chen, then said, "You'd better go take a bath quickly; you reek of a fox's stench."
Having just come out of Prison A 001, Lu Chen indeed smelled quite strongly. He chuckled, "Alright, let's talk later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen addressed the maiden beside Wu Junwan, "Go check if there's hot water; this Prince needs to take a bath."
As the master of the North Prince Mansion, Lu Chen naturally used whatever he pleased wherever he went.
Since he had come to Wu Junwan's place, he was destined to use Wu Junwan's bath.
The maiden quickly turned around and went to the bathroom. After confirming that there was hot water in the bathroom, the maiden came out and said, "Prince, the hot water is ready."
Without hesitation, Lu Chen was about to head to the bath to bathe, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
He then walked behind Wu Junwan, and in one move, he lifted her up from behind, then held her in a bridal carry in his arms.
Wu Junwan hastily struggled a bit, "What are you doing!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Of course, I'm taking a mandarin duck bath with you. You can help me scrub my back."
Hearing this, Wu Junwan said somewhat angrily, "I'm not your maid; get a maid to scrub your back."
Lu Chen said, "No, I prefer it if you scrub my back."
As soon as he said this, Lu Chen didn't wait for Wu Junwan's agreement and directly carried her to the bath.
Murong Xue'er chuckled at the sight of the two departing figures.
No matter how proud Wu Junwan was, she had no recourse in front of Lu Chen, the shameless rogue.
It wasn't long before Murong Xue'er heard faint sounds coming from the room. Although the sounds seemed very faint from outside, it was because the room's sound insulation was excellent.
In fact, just being able to hear the sounds meant that the noise inside the room was exceptionally loud.
Murong Xue'er picked up the Dragon and Phoenix Tea on the stone table, poured herself a cup, and began to savor it slowly.
She thought to herself that perhaps, before Lu Chen led his troops southward, she should invite him to her room to practice calligraphy or something.
After all, it would likely be a long time before he could return to Yan County once he headed south, and there was even a possibility that he might not return to Yan County temporarily, opting to reside in the Great Xia Imperial Palace instead.
The women of North Prince Mansion might not see Lu Chen for a year, or even several years.
Murong Xue'er, who was now free from her former shyness, used to think of herself as a shameless and wanton woman. Since living in North Prince Mansion and being tormented by Lu Chen for some time, Murong Xue'er's mindset had undergone a significant change.
Now, she felt that intimate relations between men and women were very normal, and there was no reason to feel ashamed at all. After all, she was already Lu Chen's woman, and their conjugal matters were also reasonable.
Moreover, during the times she practiced calligraphy with Lu Chen, she could also improve her cultivation state, which was entirely beneficial to her. There was no reason for her to reject it; accepting it openly was the better approach.
