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

After Mu Zixuan had explained the estate's situation to Wu Junwan, Wu Junwan gained a deeper understanding of the entire North Prince Mansion.

Just as Wu Junwan was about to continue learning about the estate's affairs, a maid entered the courtyard and said, "Prince, the carpenters have completed a few small wooden figures according to your instructions."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, "So soon?"

Lu Chen said, "Have the finished wooden figures brought here directly."

"Yes, Prince."

The maid turned and departed.

Seeing the maid's retreating figure, Wu Junwan murmured to herself, "Wooden figures?"

She was curious about what kind of strange and unusual thing Lu Chen was up to now; at that moment, Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan with a smile, "My love, aren't you curious about the use of these wooden figures? You'll find out very soon."

Before long, several female guards brought in the wooden figures made by the carpenters. However, upon inspecting them, Lu Chen found that the wooden figures were not large, only the size of a palm.

But the craftsmanship was exquisite; they resembled the proportional miniatures of certain individuals.

Seeing these wooden figures, Wu Junwan also became interested; she was eager to find out what they were for.

At that moment, Lu Chen bit his fingertip, squeezed out some fresh blood, then channeled spiritual power and, using the Primary Puppet Skill in his mind, drew a rune on the body of one of the wooden figures.

After a short while, the wooden figure emitted bursts of green light. Subsequently, Lu Chen placed the figure on a stone table, and not long after, the wooden figure unexpectedly stood up on its own.

At this spectacle, both Wu Junwan and Mu Zixuan were stunned.

Lu Chen closed his eyes at that time, attempting to control the first puppet he had crafted.

The next moment, he felt as if a link had formed between himself and the puppet, making the puppet's sensations seem to be shared with his own.

Following that, his vision changed to that of the puppet's, and Lu Chen subsequently made the puppet take a few steps on the stone table.

Upon seeing the wooden figure moving about, both Mu Zixuan and Wu Junwan's eyes widened in astonishment.

Once Lu Chen had gotten the hang of controlling the puppet, he made it leap directly towards Wu Junwan. She hadn't even reacted before the puppet jumped onto her chest.

Wu Junwan, of course, knew that this was Lu Chen, that scoundrel, up to mischief; she raised her beautiful eyes and glared at him.

Lu Chen continued to control the puppet as it climbed further, eventually standing on Wu Junwan's shoulder.

Mu Zixuan, puzzled, said, "How did this little figure come to life?"

Wu Junwan said, "The Prince is controlling it."

Having been to the Misty Immortal Sect, Wu Junwan was well-versed in many things. Although she had been genuinely shocked when the puppet had begun to move, she soon came to understand what was happening.

Hearing Wu Junwan's words, Mu Zixuan turned to look at Lu Chen, finding that he had his eyes closed.

Mu Zixuan was still profoundly astonished in her heart; the Prince could actually control a wooden figure. But on recalling that Lu Chen was a disciple of the immortal, her emotions quickly settled down.

After all, as a disciple of the immortal, Lu Chen was practically half an immortal, so it was normal for him to be able to do things ordinary people could not.

At that time, Lu Chen tried to make the puppet speak. The next moment, the puppet asked from atop Wu Junwan's shoulder, "Ladies, how is my Puppet Skill?"

Seeing the puppet speak, Mu Zixuan was flabbergasted once more.

Mu Zixuan said blankly, "The Prince truly is a disciple of the immortal."

Curious, Wu Junwan inquired, "Prince, what use is this puppet?"

Lu Chen, controlling the puppet, replied, "I'm not sure yet; I've only just learned the Puppetry Technique and need to experiment a bit."

Lu Chen thought to himself that if he could control a puppet to go anywhere in the future, wouldn't that mean he wouldn't need to leave the North Prince Mansion? He could use the puppet to inspect the North Country on his behalf.

Furthermore, he could place a puppet beside certain people and give orders directly through puppet control if anything came up in the future; it would be faster than relaying information through a telegraph machine.

However, he realized he didn't yet know the maximum range of his connection to the puppet.

According to the Puppetry Technique heritage in his mind, the further the puppet strayed from his body, the more spiritual power he would need to expend. Currently, he was only a Pseudo Celestial, and if ranked according to the Cultivation World's standards, he feared he was still the lowest rank of cultivator. Therefore, it seemed unlikely he could control a puppet to travel all over the world.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At that moment, Lu Chen opened his eyes; he wanted to try multitasking to see whether he could control the puppet while doing other activities.

When he opened his eyes, another scene appeared in his mind, and his visual experience was particularly strange, as if he had gained an extra set of eyes. However, this didn't make him uncomfortable; it felt as though the puppet's eyes had become one with his own.

Lu Chen controlled the puppet to jump down from Wu Junwan's shoulder and then directed it over to Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan quickly caught the puppet, and the puppet immediately climbed onto her shoulder. Seeing the wooden figure hop around, Lu Chen suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

He then controlled the puppet to jump down again, heading straight toward the courtyard's exterior. He wanted to test the furthest distance he could control the puppet.
