Chapter 722

Master Qingxu was hit in his thoughts, a flash of unnaturalness crossed his face, but he immediately straightened his face and said righteously: "Fellow Daoist Wanfeng, stop talking nonsense! This poor Daoist is doing it for the great cause of Tian Ce and to share the worries for His Majesty. This is a matter of course for people of our Daoist cultivation; how can I allow you to speculate like this!"

Although he spoke in a high-sounding manner, deep down he had to admit that being able to have a "legitimate" reason for a business trip and temporarily stay away from that shrew in the sect was indeed a wonderful thing.

He hurriedly changed the subject and pulled Master Wanfeng to start seriously discussing the details of setting up the formation.

Li Chen and Lady Youlan had indeed not seen each other for a long time.

Lady Youlan was originally a plump and graceful mature beauty. In Li Chen's harem, her exquisite figure, especially the full and proud peaks on her chest, could be considered extremely outstanding, at least ranking in the top three.

Although they were already an old married couple, when she saw Li Chen alone, she still carried a bit of girlish shyness. She lowered her head slightly and asked in a soft, charming voice: "Your Majesty, did you specifically summon this concubine here because there is some important matter to instruct?"

Li Chen looked at her state, his love for her growing even stronger, but he was not in a hurry to get straight to the point. Instead, he took her hand and sat down in the temporarily opened quiet room, telling her about his encounters in the Daluo Dynasty during this period of time.

Because she was a confidant concubine he absolutely trusted, he spoke quite meticulously, from how he used the "Wizard Ancestor" identity to sneak in, to how he dealt with various forces, and even told her about the existence of the "Wizard Ancestor Cave Heaven."

"... That Cave Heaven is a small world left behind by the ancient Wizard Ancestor. Not only is the spiritual energy abundant, but what is even more wonderful is that there are thousands of women of superior beauty and various styles inside, most of whom were collected by past Wizard Ancestors or voluntarily attached themselves to it."

Li Chen said, paying attention to Lady Youlan's reaction.

"Managing so many people is not easy. I have thought about it, and I need someone who has enough strength to hold the scene, is meticulous, and is trustworthy to go and manage it. Your cultivation has reached the Sage Realm, and you are the most suitable candidate."

Lady Youlan was surprised to hear there were thousands of women, thinking to herself that His Majesty is truly amazing; he has only been gone for a short time, and he already has so many women.

Li Chen changed the subject and continued: "Moreover, in that Cave Heaven, the most precious things are not those beauties, but the ancient spiritual medicines and strange flowers and grasses that have been cultivated for I don't know how many years and are perfectly preserved! Many varieties are probably already extinct in the outside world and are only recorded in some isolated books."

Sure enough, upon hearing "ancient spiritual medicines" and "strange flowers and grasses," Lady Youlan's beautiful eyes instantly lit up, as if starlight had fallen into them. She was already obsessed with alchemy and spiritual plants, and had an almost instinctive desire and obsession for these medicinal materials that only existed in legends. "Is what Your Majesty said true? Are there really ancient spiritual plants that are already extinct like the 'Dragon-Pattern Crimson Pearl Grass' and 'Nine-Heart Begonia'?"

Her voice carried a hint of excitement and unbelievable trembling.

Li Chen took in her reaction, chuckled, reached out to embrace her soft waist, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with a hint of playfulness: "Naturally it is true. The medicinal garden in the Cave Heaven is vast and boundless, with countless treasures. However, if you, my love, want to go in and study to your heart's content, or even transplant some out, that will depend on your performance tonight."

Lady Youlan heard this, and two blushes immediately flew onto her cheeks, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

She lowered her head shyly, but her body leaned softly into Li Chen's arms, her voice as thin as a mosquito's, carrying endless charm: "Your Majesty~ My whole person and my whole heart are yours; what else do you want from this slave?"

Hearing the acquiescence and compromise in her words, Li Chen was overjoyed and took out several sets of gorgeous dresses filled with the characteristics of the Daluo Dynasty as if by magic.

These costumes were very different from the Tang style, being bolder and more unrestrained, and the tailoring that outlined the figure was also more direct.

"Come, put these on and let me see your different style, my love."
