Chapter 2577: Chapter 2267: I’m Not an Unreasonable Person
Patrolling the border cities doesn’t take Lu Chen much time.
Lu Chen spent only two days inspecting all the cities along the border between Central State and Border Wilderness.
As expected, the border cities were filled with refugees from Central State, most of them belonging to various families.
Even the common people there followed these family groups to the Border Wilderness.
Among these people, King Realm Spirit Martial Artists were numerous, with the strongest possessing peak King Realm strength.
Some were genuinely intending to settle in the Border Wilderness, while others were there merely to escape Eternal Night and planned to return to Central State once it ended.
There weren’t many families planning to settle in the Border Wilderness; most were waiting for Eternal Night to end so they could return to Central State.
Lu Chen didn’t care about their motives.
Lu Chen simply reminded those families to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
After finishing his patrol, Lu Chen didn’t immediately return to Spirit Hill City; instead, he went to the Small World near Spirit Hill City and brought in many people to plant crops within the Small World.
Now, the Small World was filled with crops, and with so much food, even if Central State sent over ten billion people, the Border Wilderness could accommodate them.
This patrol left Lu Chen feeling somewhat disappointed.
He initially thought it might attract other Ancestors of the Strange to the Border Wilderness.
But after patrolling the area, he still hadn’t seen any other Ancestors of the Strange.
However, Lu Chen realized he might have been greedy; two Ancestors were enough, and eventually, the others would come looking for him.
Spirit Hill City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Lu Chen descended from the sky, landing on the training ground of the City Lord’s Mansion.
He hadn’t even transmitted his presence to Liu Qingqiu, but Liu Qingqiu already knew Lu Chen had returned.
Lu Chen’s aura was too strong, and even if he didn’t deliberately release it, Liu Qingqiu could sense it.
At this moment, in a courtyard of the Liu Family, Liu Qingqiu and Liu Qingyun were discussing the family’s development.
Feeling Lu Chen’s aura, Liu Qingqiu spoke to Liu Qingyun, "Sister, Lu Chen is back, I have to go."
Liu Qingyun paused for a moment, concerned, and said, "Go ahead, but remember what I said, be careful of that Deceit Saint when you reach the Capital city."
Liu Qingqiu responded, "I know, don’t worry, Sister."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qingqiu left the Liu Family and headed to the City Lord’s Mansion.
In one of the courtyards of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Lu Chen sat on a stone bench, savoring tea.
Wang Yu entered the small courtyard and first greeted Lu Chen, "Greetings, Regent King."
Lu Chen replied calmly, "No need for formalities. I’m returning to the Capital city today, so pay attention to this: if any exceptionally beautiful women come from Central State, immediately send someone to inform me."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Yu promptly said, "Yes, Regent King."
Wang Yu was aware of Lu Chen’s tastes.
Suddenly, Wang Yu thought of Liu Qingyun and then asked, "Regent King, how do you find the Liu Family Head? She resembles Miss Liu; perhaps you should consider her too."
Hearing Wang Yu’s suggestion, Lu Chen pondered for a moment.
With his current power, if he wanted to use force on Liu Qingyun, he could easily do so.
However, he wasn’t fond of such approaches; he had many women and had experienced male-female relations countless times before, so there was no need for coercion.
Yet, if he didn’t use force, the other party might not want to become his woman.
Liu Qingqiu and Chu Yuqin were exceptions—both were merely clones of the Ancestors of the Strange, and Zhou Youyou also counted as an exception.
Apart from these three women, other Ancestors of the Strange seemed somewhat resistant to him.
At that moment, Liu Qingqiu entered the courtyard from outside.
Realizing this, Lu Chen said to Wang Yu, "Just remember what I’ve told you; don’t worry about other matters."
Wang Yu replied, "Understood, Regent King. Is there anything else you wish to instruct?"
Lu Chen answered, "No, you may leave now."
Wang Yu immediately bowed, "I take my leave."
After Wang Yu left, Lu Chen looked at Liu Qingqiu and asked, "I’m thinking of marrying your sister; what do you think?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingqiu froze momentarily.
This bastard man wasn’t satisfied with marrying her; now he wanted to pursue her sister.
Seeing Liu Qingqiu looking at him warily, Lu Chen continued, "She doesn’t have to follow me to the Capital city; she can still be the Liu Family Head, but she must become my woman."
"It’s just that having married you, I’m still concerned. You are, after all, from Central State."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s excuse, Liu Qingqiu scoffed internally, thinking, ’Concerned?’
Clearly, he just wants to sleep with her sister.
This guy is already in the Saint Realm, how could he possibly be concerned about their King Realm family?
Could a King Realm family even threaten a Saint Realm powerhouse?
Regaining her composure, Liu Qingqiu coldly said, "Regent King possesses great power; if you choose to use force, the Liu Family cannot resist."
In Liu Qingqiu’s view, Lu Chen didn’t need to discuss such things with her; since the Border Wilderness was entirely his domain and he had absolute strength, if he truly intended to act against her sister, she couldn’t resist, and the Liu Family could only endure it.
Noticing the flicker of disgust in Liu Qingqiu’s eyes, Lu Chen picked up his teacup and took another sip, smiling as he said, "Your sister has been stuck at mid-stage King Realm for quite some time, right?"
Hearing this question, Liu Qingqiu felt puzzled. Why had Lu Chen suddenly shifted the topic?
Lu Chen continued, "You spent a few days with me, so you should know doing that could help you enhance your power."
This brought Liu Qingqiu into silence; Lu Chen wasn’t wrong. After being with him, she felt her realm loosening noticeably.
Though they hadn’t engaged in dual cultivation, merely enjoying physical pleasure, she did gain certain benefits.
Perhaps Lu Chen had some sort of special constitution, or her state of mind had changed, leading to her realm loosening.
Lu Chen then enticed, "I possess a special Dual Cultivation Technique that can help your sister elevate her cultivation state and enable her to break through to the late-stage King Realm sooner—it’s up to her whether she accepts."
"Tell her to come to the City Lord’s Mansion to find me if she’s willing; if she isn’t, then forget it."
Liu Qingqiu asked, "Do you truly have such a Dual Cultivation Technique? Is it harmless to her?"
Lu Chen replied, "With my current strength, do you think I have the need to deceive you?"
Liu Qingqiu thought over it and indeed, Lu Chen had no need to lie.
But from what she knew, most dual cultivation techniques were one-way, either balancing Yin with Yang or vice versa.
There were indeed techniques that could simultaneously elevate the realms of both sexes, but those techniques were generally of low grade and unsuitable for high-realm Spirit Martial Artists.
The cultivation in this world was quite arduous, and Spirit Martial Artists had to refine spiritual evil to promote their realms. Even those in the unorthodox paths seldom resort to using dual cultivation methods unless they find special furnace cauldrons.
Liu Qingqiu finally said, "I’ll go tell my sister now. As for what she decides to do, that’s up to her."
Having said that, Liu Qingqiu headed toward the courtyard exit, but just as she reached the gate, she stopped and turned back to ask Lu Chen, "With your strength, you could easily use force. There’s no need to talk to me about all this."
Lu Chen, still smiling, replied, "I’m not the type who acts unreasonably."
