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

Xue Linglong was eventually interrogated by Lu Chen for an entire night. Under the overlapping emotions of fear and excitement, her consciousness had nearly collapsed.

In the end, Xue Linglong chose to give up struggling.

She realized that there was no escaping anyway, and if the North Prince wanted to kill her, she was nothing but a lamb to the slaughter.

Moreover, she believed that if Lu Chen truly intended to kill her, he wouldn't have waited so long without taking action; this guy must still have some use for her.

After all, she was the Saintess of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Controlling her meant gaining access to certain intelligence he wanted to know from her.

But then again, he claimed he was going to interrogate her, yet he stayed busy with other things. From the beginning, he tormented her almost to her limits, but he never asked about the Taiyin Divine Sect.

What kind of interrogation was this? Weren't interrogations supposed to involve questions?

Xue Linglong suspected that this despicable man planned to wait until her will was nearly shattered before asking her questions.

When the first rays of dawn shone into the room, Lu Chen lay on Xue Linglong's back, embracing her tender body. By this time, Xue Linglong had completely abandoned the thought of struggling.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Linglong spoke, "You said you were going to question me, yet a whole night has passed, and you haven't asked a single question?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "What's there to ask? Your Demon Sect comes to the North Country, it can't be for anything good. It's highly probable you're here to cause destruction."

Xue Linglong queried, "Don't you want to know why I approached you?"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "I've pretty much guessed what you're up to. Aren't you just trying to capture me for a sacrifice to revive your Sect Hierarch of the Taiyin Divine Sect?"

This…

Xue Linglong's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Chen not only knew she was the Demon Sect Sorceress but even the purpose of her visit to the North Prince Mansion.

How could this be?

Immediately, Xue Linglong thought of a possibility.

If Lu Chen was so well-informed about the Taiyin Divine Sect, then it meant there must be a traitor within the sect who had divulged its secrets to Lu Chen.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Moreover, the traitor's status must have been significant because not many cultists knew she had come to the North Country, and those who did wouldn't know what she was here to do. Only a handful of high-ranking members were aware of her mission in the North Country.

How had Lu Chen accomplished this?

The disciples of the Taiyin Divine Sect were controlled by their Hierarch, and so were the Elders. Even though their Sect Hierarch was dead, his soul lived on. If those disciples harbored any thoughts of rebellion, they would quickly turn into a pool of blood.

That being said…

She herself had entertained thoughts of betraying the Sect Hierarch, especially last night when her emotions were heightened, she even considered surrendering to the North Prince and becoming his female slave.

She should have turned into a pool of blood last night, so why was she still alive and well?

Could it be…

Had something happened to their Sect Hierarch?

Or maybe his powers no longer affected them?

If that really was the case, then it wouldn't be strange for the Elders of the Taiyin Divine Sect to betray it.

As Xue Linglong was lost in thought, Lu Chen's hand wandered over hers, and he continued to whisper in her ear, "Originally, I had planned to keep playing along with you. Do you know why I have revealed your true identity so quickly?"

Xue Linglong said, "Could it be that the Prince intends to get rid of me?"

At this point, Xue Linglong felt a trace of fear in her heart. Although she had guessed that she might not be able to escape her fate, facing death still terrified her deeply.

Lu Chen said with a laugh, "How could that be?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen caressed Xue Linglong's abdomen and said, "I've been wanting a female slave recently. You happen to be to my liking, and since you are a Demon Sect Sorceress, I wouldn't feel any guilt no matter what I do to you."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong scoffed and said, "So this is what the Prince had in mind."

"Wanting to make me your female slave, aren't you afraid that I, a Demon Sect Sorceress, might do something detrimental to the North Prince Mansion?"

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Every woman in my inner court has said that before. In the end, some of them were completely tamed by me, and some even bore my children."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong was taken aback.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't be disbelieving. Once you enter the inner court, you'll soon find there are many women with similar experiences to yours."

"Some of them came for me at the beginning. Not only did they fail to kill me, but they also ended up trapped, unable to leave me for a lifetime."

Xue Linglong fell silent, discerning that Lu Chen was not lying from his tone.

And Lu Chen had no reason to lie to her. Could it be that there truly were many women in the Prince's Mansion who, like her, had the intention of harming Lu Chen but ended up being subdued by him?

Xue Linglong then said, "They are them, I am me. If the Prince thinks he can make me into an obedient female slave, he's probably deluding himself."

At that moment, Lu Chen whispered into Xue Linglong's ear with a low voice, "They said exactly the same thing. The Princess Junwan of Great Wu had the same thought when she first came to the North Prince Mansion, but now she considers herself part of the Prince's Mansion and has started assisting the Prince's consort in managing the North Prince Mansion's affairs."
