Chapter 254

Luo Zixi was thinking that besides her, there were eight other women in the courtyard.

Two of them were Li Chen's women; Luo Zixi only knew Wu Nanzhi and Bai Qianqian were, but she didn't know about Xuan Ji.

Then the remaining six women would most likely tell Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian about this.

She really wanted to just walk away, but she had to seal the mouths of these six women before leaving.

She couldn't just kill these six women over something like this.

Even if she wanted to kill them, she couldn't handle Xuan Ji's strength.

Suddenly, Luo Zixi had a flash of inspiration: as long as I drag them into the water too, they definitely won't be able to tell Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian about my affair.

As a woman who had spent time in sects, it was easy to think of this method, and it was the only one she felt would work.

These were all future daughters-in-law; even if it was a bit unfair to her son, she had no choice.

After struggling internally for two seconds, Luo Zixi told Li Chen this method and asked if he was willing.

After all, she knew Li Chen's abilities very well; solving it in one night was no problem.

"I don't have a problem with it, but how are you going to do it?"

Regarding Luo Zixi's good intentions, Li Chen did not refuse.

"Don't worry, I have my own ways, but Xuan Ji is strong; if she tries to intervene halfway, that would be troublesome."

"Xuan Ji has fought me before; her strength is below mine, so don't worry about that."

Hearing Li Chen say this, Luo Zixi was somewhat surprised; she knew how strong Xuan Ji was, yet this man, who was about the same age as her son, actually had strength above Xuan Ji's?

Luo Zixi tentatively said: "Xuan Ji is in the Sage Realm, are you sure?"

Li Chen's pupils erupted with a terrifying ripple, instantly intimidating Luo Zixi, and then he said: "Do you believe me now?"

That terrifying aura of destruction and the overwhelming pressure bearing down on her made Luo Zixi feel like a candle in the wind.

Now Luo Zixi was convinced that Li Chen's words were not false.

She thought to herself, no wonder I couldn't resist last night; so that's how it was.

When Li Chen released his restraint, Luo Zixi gasped for air, her chest heaving.

Seeing Li Chen's approach, Luo Zixi immediately indicated that he should save some strength, as he would certainly be busy tonight, and she herself needed to prepare.

Next came the bargaining; Li Chen knew that women were most easily compromised at this time.

After Luo Zixi agreed that they could continue later, Li Chen let her go.

Today's dinner was exceptionally dull; the women like Nangong Yao kept stealing glances at Li Chen and Luo Zixi.

They were probably guessing the relationship between the two; everyone here knew what happened, but no one pointed it out.

However, Nangong Yao was very clear about one thing: she couldn't drink the wine, or she might end up in trouble too.

These women were all burying their heads in their food, while Luo Zixi remained as elegant as ever.

She thought to herself: Eat more, don't think it's only the wine that has a problem.

Nangong Yao felt the atmosphere at the dinner table was very stifling; perhaps only when Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian returned would this awkward atmosphere decrease.

She had eaten enough and prepared to take her leave.

But just as she stood up, she felt unsteady and dizzy.

At this moment, her gaze swept nearby and she saw several women already slumped over the table asleep; she instantly understood what had happened and looked at Luo Zixi in terror, then said: "Auntie, you..."

Before she could finish, she collapsed to the floor.

At this moment, Luo Zixi was calmly sipping her tea.

Looking at the women lying scattered about, Luo Zixi thought to herself, don't blame me; who told you all to find out.

Bai Qianqian, who had taken the antidote in advance, began to work.

Having finally been promoted to Li Chen's consort, she very diligently carried the women back one by one.

As a woman possessing the Pupil of Destiny, this was the best opportunity for her to grasp her own fate.

Xuan Ji was naturally pretending, as Li Chen had told her to act that way.

At nightfall, this independent courtyard of Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's was practically a battlefield of artillery fire.

As the most noble Divine Son of the Return to Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect, no one dared to come to the place where he lived, so no one disturbed Li Chen.

The next day, without Li Chen needing to do anything, Luo Zixi began to conduct ideological education for these women.

Anyway, since everyone was already like this, if you follow my son, you might have to live as a widow for the rest of your lives.

Haven't you seen that Xuan Ji, who follows Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's father, is in the same state?

So it would be better for everyone to follow Li Chen and experience real life.

At this time, the women like Nangong Yao all looked at Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji had indeed acted well yesterday, appearing to be a victim as well; since she was the strongest among the victims, the other women wanted to see her attitude.

Luo Zixi was also somewhat worried that Xuan Ji would be angry.

But who would have thought that Xuan Ji felt Luo Zixi was right, directly turning against them, and speaking with sound logic, stating that for so many years, she had been busy working for Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's father, even having to take care of his son, only seeking his father's appreciation—who would want to live such a life!

That resentment made even Li Chen wonder if her own consciousness had awakened.

Facing double pressure, the women like Nangong Yao could only compromise.

"But the problem is, what do we do after Zhantian returns?"

Nangong Yao didn't blame Li Chen; even if she had resentment, it would certainly be directed at Luo Zixi, but she just felt sorry for Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed there was nothing to feel sorry about.

We aren't Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's women, just followers; he doesn't even touch us.

Could it be that we really have to become like Xuan Ji, reaching the Sage Realm only to remain a widowed follower of Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian?

As for those who hadn't reached the Sage Realm, they probably weren't even worthy of being followers.

"We can leave for a while first." This was the method Luo Zixi thought of; if you can't face it, just escape.

Anyway, I only intended to drag you into the water; just don't expose me.

Luo Zixi definitely didn't intend to stay here; if Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian saw through the clues, how could she survive?

Li Chen had already prepared a retreat for them: first go to the Tianyin Villa, then go to the Imperial Capital.

Once they reached the Imperial Capital, it would be hard for them to leave, and she reckoned they wouldn't want to leave by then anyway.

Having had a good time here for two days and gained a lot, she reckoned the Sword Discussion Assembly had already begun, and Li Chen also had to go back to urge Luo Yong to participate in the competition.

After all, Li Chen's main task was to enter the Sword Tomb and obtain the powerful Sword Intent inheritance.

Luo Yong was very confident, and he reckoned the preliminary rounds would be no problem, but it would be tough to make it to the top ten with his Sword Intent; this was when he needed Li Chen's guidance.

When leaving the Return to Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect, in order not to make Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian worry, Luo Zixi left him a note, stating that something had happened at the Luo Water Villa and she had to go back to check on it, telling Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian not to worry.

Li Chen also passed by the Peach Garden again, brushing past Li Xian with only a wall between them.

And at this moment, Li Xian had already thought of how to trick Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian into going to the Imperial Capital; he just had to wait for Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian to return.

!

By then, with his own arrangements, he reckoned he could make Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian and Li Chen come into conflict.

He probably didn't expect that Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian and Li Chen were already in conflict.

Luo Zixi also specifically bypassed the Mountain-Watching Envoy, quietly taking people away from the Return to Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect.

Otherwise, if this group of people went out and the news reached Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, he would certainly be able to guess some of the situation.

Arriving at the outskirts, Li Chen showed off his "supercar," which left the young girls amazed; there were simply no women who could resist such a mount.

Don't ask what the Sacred Tiger thought; it was already used to it.

What else could it do if it wasn't used to it? In the future, eating well and drinking well would all depend on this Majesty.

On the way back to Tianyin Villa, women like Nangong Yao were still relatively reserved; leaving Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian gave them a subtle sense of immorality, but not much.

Bai Qianqian was very clingy to Li Chen; she had been very diligent in her work recently, making Li Chen praise her until her little tail was wagging.

After entering Tianyin Villa, Bai Qianqian thought it was her territory and that she would be uniquely favored, but the women like Nangong Yao stopped pretending.

Having finally experienced happiness, where would they be willing to let it go? In fact, following Li Chen out was a huge part of the reason.

Especially that feeling of going behind Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's back; even in the conversations of some guests at Tianyin Villa, they learned that Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was still nearby serving as a judge for the Sword Discussion Assembly, which Nangong Yao found thrilling.

What was even more thrilling than her was definitely Luo Zixi; Li Chen didn't let her off at all.

When in high spirits, Bai Qianqian would even play musical instruments and perform songs to add to the fun; life was just that happy.

After fighting for three full days, the people Bai Qianqian had arranged at the restaurant finally returned to report that a sword cultivator named Luo Yong had passed the preliminary rounds and entered the top one hundred, obtaining the qualification to participate in the official competition.

At this moment, Luo Yong at the restaurant was very uneasy.

Although he had completed the task assigned by His Majesty Li Chen in stages, he also realized his own shortcomings during this preliminary round.

If it weren't for good luck—his opponent in the last match had been injured in the previous match—he might not have been able to enter the top one hundred.

Even though he was a genius from a certain district in the Imperial Capital, this place gathered geniuses from all over the world, and there were even some shameless old things suppressing their levels to participate.

He felt lucky just to have made it to the official competition.

He still remembered that before participating in the competition, he had guaranteed to His Majesty Li Chen that he would enter the top ten.

If he couldn't accomplish it, wouldn't that be the crime of deceiving the Emperor?

But the problem was, during the preliminary rounds, he had also watched other winning contestants, and to be honest, he wasn't sure he could win.

Only after fighting with geniuses did he know his own shortcomings.

Just as Luo Yong was anxious and uneasy, a figure appeared before him.

Because there were many people here and Li Chen was traveling incognito, Luo Yong only bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have not failed your mission; this commoner has entered the top one hundred, but..."

Luo Yong's words were very strained, and he looked to be in a difficult spot.

Li Chen waved his hand to interrupt him: I certainly know your level; being able to enter the top one hundred is already not bad.

"Give me your sword."

Hearing Li Chen say this, Luo Yong handed over his sword without hesitation.

Li Chen wasn't going to lend Luo Yong a loan; he was just going to give Luo Yong a cheat code.

As everyone knows, many Sons of Fortune have cheats; for example, Xiao Ming, who can call his master to log in and play for him when he can't win.

As a sword cultivator, possessing a good sword would greatly increase one's strength.

As a top Sage Realm expert of the current era, it was simple for Li Chen to give Luo Yong a cheat.

He not only tempered Luo Yong's sword but also injected his own Sword Intent into it.

Luo Yong only felt a golden light flash on His Majesty Li Chen's hand, and his sword became extraordinary.

But his level was too low, and he couldn't feel its mysteries.

At first, Luo Yong had thought about troubling His Majesty Li Chen to teach him a move or two.

As a cultivator in the Imperial Capital, he had long heard of Li Chen's strength; even a powerful sword cultivator like the Supreme Being Dingtian had been defeated, so one could imagine His Majesty Li Chen's Sword Intent.

Actually, Li Chen had also thought about teaching Luo Yong a trick or two at first; as long as he learned it, he could slaughter everyone at the same level.

But after thinking about it, such things depended on comprehension; if Luo Yong's comprehension wasn't high, he would have to work for half a day just to teach him.

Anyway, the Sword Discussion Assembly was just a competition for those with Soul Spirit Realm cultivation; he might as well just give him a cheat and be done with it, as he still had to go back and deal with those fairies.

Taking the precious sword handed over by Li Chen with both hands, Luo Yong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

In his view, even if using this precious sword meant suffering a powerful backlash, he would do his utmost to complete the mission issued by His Majesty Li Chen!

Li Chen looked at his serious expression and said mysteriously: "Whenever you can't win, just inject energy into the hilt and wait to win."

"As you command!"

Regarding Li Chen's words, Luo Yong would not question them!

He also felt he wasn't qualified to question them; if His Majesty tells me to do this, I will do as I'm told!
