Chapter 347

Li Chen's group arrived on the main road and avoided areas with many cultivators to prevent any unnecessary trouble.

Ao Jiao had thought that with her mother joining the team, Li Chen would be a bit more restrained at night.

As it turned out, not only was he not restrained, he was even more unbridled.

There was no helping it; Wu Nanzhi was Li Chen's woman, and no matter what they did, others really had no right to gossip.

Ao Jiao and the other maidens were fine, but in truth, no one was more restless than Long Mu.

That was an entire night; she didn't dare imagine how much Wu Nanzhi enjoyed it, and she even swallowed her saliva constantly, feeling incredibly envious inside.

What was even more outrageous was that Long Mu discovered Li Chen was still acting like nothing had happened the next day; she couldn't comprehend just how powerful Li Chen was.

However, she was a mature woman after all, and with her opening the conversation, the journey finally started to become lively.

Don't look at the fact that Long Mu had lived for some time; this was her first time coming to the continent, and she was very curious about everything here.

As they neared the Returning Ruins Boundless Sect, the beauties of the Sea Clan seemed to show some resistance.

Because going back meant being locked in a dungeon; how could it possibly be as free as it was now?

At this time, Po Xi suggested, "We've been walking for a long time; everyone must be tired. Why don't we go to that Heavenly Sound Villa from last time to soak in the hot springs?"

Once these words were spoken, they immediately received the agreement of the other Sea Clan beauties.

It felt as if they were looking for an excuse to stay with Li Chen a little longer.

Actually, even if they hadn't said it, Wu Nanzhi was about to suggest it; this was a rare opportunity.

Wu Nanzhi hadn't expected that someone would actually provide an assist for Li Chen.

It seemed that Li Chen's impression in their hearts during this time was excellent.

Ao Jiao naturally agreed as well, and even happily introduced the Heavenly Sound Villa to her mother, saying it was indeed a good location.

Long Mu had observed Li Chen the whole way and also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him alone; this place should provide a chance.

Li Chen certainly wouldn't mind; this was a place where he could easily get what he wanted, so why not?

The Heavenly Sound Pavilion of the Heavenly Sound Villa was quickly booked out by Li Chen.

Only when these Sea Clan beauties entered this area did they shed their disguises.

There was no helping it; when walking on the human continent, they all had to wear cloaks and robes to hide their identities.

So they had dressed very conservatively along the way, but now Li Chen felt a sudden sense of openness, with nothing but fair skin before his eyes.

He didn't know if they were unintentional or deliberate, but Li Chen could certainly see a lot.

After eating, it was time to soak in the hot springs.

Long Mu finally seized the opportunity, let her daughter go to the hot springs first, and came to the door of Li Chen's room.

After Li Chen agreed, she pushed the door open and entered, then closed the door behind her.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen was stunned; could it be that this woman wanted to soak with me?

Throughout the journey, Li Chen had also noticed that Long Mu's gaze was not quite right; could it be that she couldn't hold back anymore?

Just as Li Chen's thoughts were racing, Long Mu sat down with dignity in the seat opposite Li Chen, and her first words were a bombshell.

"Young Master Li, I wonder if you..."

"Young Master Li, do you like my daughter?"

This question left Li Chen completely bewildered; he didn't even know how to respond.

After all, he hadn't interacted deeply with Long Mu and didn't quite understand the thoughts of this mature woman.

Seeing Li Chen stunned in place, Long Mu let out a light laugh, her figure trembling slightly, which was very alluring.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not blaming you. My daughter is very beautiful, and your feelings are only human nature. Don't have too much of a burden. As a mother, I just want her to live a good life..."

Long Mu said a lot, and Li Chen finally understood: Ao Jiao's mother felt that Ao Jiao following Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was not a good choice.

Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was a man who loved to fight and kill, often going to dangerous places to risk his life. Even if she heard from her daughter that Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian repeatedly turned danger into safety, what if one day he didn't? Wouldn't he die, and wouldn't her daughter be left a widow?

Li Chen was better; he was not only steady but also powerful.

Long Mu was telling Li Chen not to think that just because Ao Jiao had set her heart on Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, he had no chance. If he liked her, she could help him.

She was afraid that Li Chen would feel that Ao Jiao was a friend's companion and wouldn't dare to make a move.

Actually, she didn't need to say it; Li Chen had no such qualms in his heart. It wasn't the first time he had snatched something from Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian.

Li Chen wasn't stupid; he had originally intended to do it himself, but he hadn't expected Ao Jiao's mother to offer an assist.

But before that, Long Mu had one more thing she wanted to confirm.

Li Chen indicated, "Go ahead."

Long Mu pondered for a moment and said, "According to your human way of saying it, how much land do you have at home, do you have any debts, how many residences do you have, what are the prospects of your family business, the foundation of your sect..."

This was the attitude of a mother-in-law questioning a son-in-law, fearing her daughter would suffer if she followed a poor boy.

Li Chen replied with a straight face, "I haven't counted."

Long Mu frowned slightly. She was a mature woman who didn't buy empty promises; she wanted to see Li Chen's real assets, not just a statement of love for her daughter, before she would let her daughter follow him.

But Li Chen's next sentence left Long Mu in shock.

"Because I am the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

Hearing this, Long Mu was as if frozen in place, her eyes staring fixedly at Li Chen.

There were many countries on the continent, and Long Mu didn't know many of them.

But she did know the May Tian Ce Dynasty; such a powerful super-power that kept the Sea Clan's army at bay, its foundation was naturally not poor.

She just hadn't expected that the young man in front of her was actually the Emperor of May Tian Ce?

If someone else had said this to Long Mu, she would have been ninety percent skeptical.

With Li Chen saying it, Long Mu thought to herself, no wonder he could undo the Old Dragon King's restriction; it turned out he was the Emperor of May Tian Ce.

A top-tier Sage Realm expert had no need to lie to her.

Since he was the Emperor of May Tian Ce, then questions about land and property were not issues at all.

Li Chen had many imperial palaces, some of which he didn't even know about himself; as for industries and land, there was no need to mention them—wasn't the entire May Tian Ce Dynasty his territory?

Beyond her surprise, Long Mu also began to understand that her daughter would definitely not suffer following Li Chen.

Li Chen's status was more than a notch higher than Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's.

No matter how she looked at it, Long Mu would choose Li Chen without hesitation.

Of course, here she was looking at Li Chen as a son-in-law.

Li Chen also indicated that he indeed had feelings for Ao Jiao, so Long Mu decided to settle this matter.

Li Chen asked curiously, "Don't Sea Clan women never change once they've set their hearts on someone?"

Long Mu still had that gentle smile, then took a bottle of potion from her bosom and said, "They don't change once they've set their hearts on someone, but setting one's heart is a mutual thing. Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian hasn't set his heart on her either; you just go and set yours, that's all.

We Sea Clan people don't get drunk on ordinary wine; this is a fine brew I specially made."

Long Mu's idea was certainly to let Li Chen "seal the deal" first, and she would do the psychological work on Ao Jiao later; wouldn't that make everything fall into place?

Li Chen looked at this process and was a bit stunned; have I seen this somewhere before?

It seems older women all know how to handle younger women.

Ao Jiao, who was soaking in the hot spring, had no idea she was about to face a "bloody disaster."

And Li Chen was thinking, why not take this opportunity to take them all?
