Chapter 411: And this world is unfair! (Please subscribe, please...)

The next day, Mu Wanshi, who was restless in prison, saw his daughter Luo Xi walk over.

Upon learning that his sentence had been reduced by one year, Mu Wanshi looked at Jun Wuhue with pride.

You can get your sentence reduced? I can too!

Jun Wuhue was disdainful, but he was also a bit unhappy in his heart.

The sense of superiority he had built up was gone, making him, a powerhouse who had been famous for a long time, dissatisfied.

Mu Wanshi asked Luo Xi to continue her efforts. It was only then that he discovered her mother hadn't come, so he asked what had happened.

Luo Xi said: "Oh, Mother is weak, and the journey back and forth is exhausting."

This was the reason Luo Jiazi told her to say when she came.

She couldn't say that she was too energetic and couldn't get out of bed, right?

Mu Wanshi slapped his head and said: "Look at my blockhead, I forgot all about this."

After Luo Xi left, Mu Wanshi hadn't been proud for long before Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu sent someone to tell Jun Wuhue that he could get his sentence reduced by another year.

As for why neither of them came, it was indeed because they had fought too hard yesterday and couldn't move.

Jun Wuhue couldn't stop the smile at the corners of his mouth. My woman is still the best; your woman only has this much ability.

During this period, the two were waiting for news of sentence reduction, using it to despise each other.

No one expected that two Sage Realm powerhouses would be so competitive to this extent.

There is no such thing as quiet years; it's just that someone is carrying the weight in Li Chen's artillery fire.

Sometimes Mu Wanshi also thought, to be in the Sage Realm and end up in this state, I'm afraid it's only him and Jun Wuhue.

What he didn't know was that in the Imperial Prison of the Imperial Capital, there were also Sage Realm powerhouses.

Mu Wanshi and Jun Wuhue were just fighting privately, and the impact was not big, but not small either.

Li Chen finally reduced it to one year for them, and it couldn't be reduced anymore.

He still had to give them a lesson so they would know who was in charge of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

If it weren't for their women serving him desperately, Li Chen would have really intended to let them sit for the full term.

While Li Chen was enjoying himself, Luo Qimeng was also accelerating the reconstruction of Luoshui Villa.

Having recovered the regional "colossus" of Hong Sect Villa, plus the help she could get from her status, the reconstruction of Luoshui Villa was already completed.

The reconstructed Luoshui Villa was several times more magnificent than before.

I don't know where the news came from that Luo Qimeng was about to enter the palace as a consort. For a time, all the major families and sects in the West came to curry favor, fearing they would fall behind.

The convoy transporting building materials was endless. Millennium spiritual wood, mysterious ice jade, and extraterrestrial meteor iron—these rare materials that were hard to see on weekdays were now filling the warehouse of Luoshui Villa.

Luo Qimeng was also a person who understood human relationships; she had detailed records of who sent what.

These couldn't be taken for nothing; there had to be give and take for the other side to continue helping.

At least this was the morality she felt.

The villa was built against the mountain, with pavilions and towers arranged in a well-ordered manner; the main hall featured purple-gold beams and glazed tiles, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.

In front of the mountain gate stood two hundred-foot-high white jade unicorns, lifelike, majestic and solemn.

The mountain-protecting formation was even set up by Li Chen himself. Even if a Sage Realm powerhouse

It was enough to see that the three Luo sisters were still very much favored by Li Chen.

The three Luo sisters stood on the stargazing platform at the highest point of the villa, overlooking this foundation that belonged to them.

"Sister, this is the first time our Luo family has been this glorious, right?" Luo Jiazi said softly, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Luo Qimeng smiled slightly and reached out to stroke the exquisite carvings on the railing: "Yes, from now on, no one will ever be able to bully our Luo family again."

Luo Zixi stood to the side, her heart filled with deep emotion.

Once upon a time, the Luo family was shattered and broken, and the three sisters were scattered to the winds, yet now they had become the masters of this region.

They also understood clearly that this was Li Chen's grace.

Li Chen's kindness—who knows how many lifetimes it would take to repay it all!

Li Chen had stayed here just to wait for the completion of Luoshui Villa; now that the matter was settled, he could set off to return to the palace.

Young and beautiful women like Lu Shanshan and Mo Yanyi naturally followed Li Chen back to the palace.

They were terrified that Li Chen would abandon them here; in that scenario, even if Li Chen wanted them to work like oxen or horses, they would be more than willing.

Who Jun Zhan Tian was, they no longer cared; there was no comparison.

Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu calculated together that since they had already given their bodies to Li Chen, Li Chen's level was far higher than Jun Wuhui's.

Whether in status or position, it was not something Jun Wuhui could compare to.

To put it bluntly, Jun Wuhui was merely a regional-level powerhouse, while Li Chen was a Heaven-and-Earth-level Supreme.

Before, they were devoted to Jun Wuhui only because they hadn't met anyone more outstanding.

Li Chen was not only a hundred times more outstanding, but he was also young.

They felt that, let alone being imperial concubines, even being palace maids would be a massive profit.

They would certainly cling to Li Chen, as that would allow them to obtain a blissful life.

Furthermore, Jun Wuhui still had a year of imprisonment ahead; in a year, Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu would likely already be "shaped" by Li Chen.

However, given Li Chen's intensity, it wouldn't even take a year.

The Imperial Capital.

During the time Li Chen was away, there were no major problems, just some undercurrents surging.

The reason it was just undercurrents was that they only dared to act in the shadows; who would dare to jump out and seek trouble?

The group from the Wei family, disguised as remnants of the former dynasty, had arrived in the Imperial Capital a step ahead.

Wei Manping and Wei Lianhan were officially conferred concubines, so their status was certainly established.

However, with the harem full of women, if they wanted to "wear Li Chen down," they still needed to compete with the other women in the harem.

At the Wei family mansion in the Imperial Capital, Wei Manping's sister, Wei Manying, frowned upon hearing her sister's report.

With so many Wei women serving Li Chen, Li Chen was becoming more and more energetic? Could it be a final burst of vitality before death?

Thinking of this, Wei Manying urged her sister to speed up, striving to take Li Chen down within these few years.

Wei Manping dared not talk back and could only indicate that she would try her best.

But inwardly she thought: Sister, do you think I am Li Chen's only concubine? Can I monopolize him?

Actually, Wei Manying said this because the men around her had already started to "clash."

There were three future stars of the Imperial Capital's officialdom having ambiguous relations with Wei Manying: Seeing Xiao Ming, Lin Mo, and Fang Qian.

These three were all excellent in ability and possessed fierce talent and fortune.

Seeing Xiao Ming and Lin Mo both knew Wei Manying's true identity, so they were fighting in secret.

Fang Qian did not know Wei Manying's true identity, so he and Seeing Xiao Ming were fighting openly.

This gave Wei Manying a massive headache; previously, she could play the Prince of Anxi, Li Yang, like a fiddle because Li Yang had poor ability and bad luck.

These three were different; Wei Manying planned to date Fang Qian and Lin Mo secretly, but Seeing Xiao Ming could truly find out, after all, he was from the Ministry of Justice, plus he had his own skills.

What was even more absurd was that Wei Manying didn't even need to explain; Seeing Xiao Ming insisted that Fang Qian must be using his official position to force Wei Manying to submit.

Fang Qian felt that Seeing Xiao Ming was purely looking for trouble because of the previous incident.

The two had a tendency to come to blows whenever they met.

The unluckiest one was Xu Zifeng; with Li Chen not in the Imperial Capital, Xu Zifeng, a military officer, was hinted at by Grand General Guo Guo Po Yun that every time Fang Qian and Seeing Xiao Ming were about to fight, he had to intervene.

There was no help for it; Lin Mo was very busy, and no one else could stop them.

As for why Guo Guo Po Yun hinted for Xu Zifeng to intervene, it was because the problems in the southern countries were becoming increasingly severe.

If Xu Zifeng wanted to go to war, he had to do something that would make Li Chen feel satisfied.

Once he thought about being able to return to the south and see his own father, Xu Zifeng changed his usual playboy persona and started acting as a peacemaker.

And this world is unfair; some people are good people their whole lives, but if they do one bad thing, they are considered bad through and through, and everyone thinks they were hiding it deep down.

When a guy with a track record like Xu Zifeng started doing good deeds, everyone said things like he was a prodigal son returning, and it wasn't too late.
