Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Let go of my aunt_i

Translator: 549690339

Watching Wang Qingci’s retreating figure, Chu Yuqin fell into deep thought.

A Ninth Grade Martial Artist? And she claimed to be Chen’er’s Female Slave?

If Lu Chen were now the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, possessing a Ninth Grade Female Slave wouldn’t surprise Chu Yuqin in the slightest, given that the Crown Prince held real power.

However, in the eyes of others, Lu Chen was nothing but an idle, depraved wastrel.

And yet Wang Qingci willingly became his Female Slave?

Could it be that the forces behind Wang Qingci had already discovered Chen’er’s disguise?

Or is it possible that the forces supporting Chen’er were the same as those behind Wang Qingci?

At that moment, Chu Yuqin approached the door of Lu Chen’s room, feeling the need to give him a warning.

Just then, Lu Chen came out from his room. Upon seeing Chu Yuqin’s serious expression, he curiously asked, “Madam Chu, do you need something from me?”

Chu Yuqin inquired, “Chen’er, does Wang Qingci come from the force that’s supporting you from behind?”

Hearing this question, Lu Chen was completely puzzled. What force supporting him?

Could it be that Madam Chu believed there was indeed a force supporting him from behind?

Lu Chen thought for a moment about his recent abnormal behavior, coupled with the fact that he had produced modern firearms like the Desert Eagle and Batrelei, which surely made Chu Yuqin suspect that there was a powerful force supporting him.

Considering this, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Madam Chu, how could you possibly know that?”

He definitely couldn’t reveal the truth about the system, but in order to reassure Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen decided to fabricate a lie.

Chu Yuqin sighed and then said, “Chen’er, that woman is no ordinary person; she’s a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.

“Your aunt actually doesn’t want to interfere too much with your affairs, but when it comes to your personal safety, 1 still want to remind you.”

“That force supporting you must have significant designs, and although I don’t yet know their purpose, you shouldn’t always let them lead you by the nose.”

“If you desire that position in the Capital City, just tell your aunt, and 1 will inform your grandfather. At that time, both your grandfather and the Chu Family will surely stand by your side, and you won’t need to rely on those powers of unknown provenance.”

The Chu Family had not originally planned to give up on Lu Chen, but he was such an embarrassment that they couldn’t prop him up; moreover, he had now been sent to the desolate North City, forcing the Chu Family to consider other candidates.

After all, Lu Chen is the grandson of the Chu Family Master; among all the princes, his blood relation is the closest.

If Lu Chen could brace himself up and boldly declare his intention to join the struggle for inheritance, not just the Chu Family but also most of the Aristocratic Families in the South would support him.

Chu Yuqin believed that Lu Chen had no need to depend on those untraceable forces.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen gave a faint smile, then walked over to her side and naturally took hold of Chu Yuqin’s jade hand.

Feeling Lu Chen’s hold on her hand, Chu Yuqin’s delicate body involuntarily trembled, but she did not pull away, for they had often held hands to discuss matters in the past.

Lu Chen then said, “Madam Chu, I know what you’re worried about, but I assure you, the force behind me follows my commands to the letter.”

“There are some secrets I can’t tell you outright, as once I do, it could throw not just Great Xia, but the whole world into turmoil. However, I can give you a hint.”

Chu Yuqin felt a tremor in her heart. What secret could be so terrifying as to cause such chaos?

At that moment, Lu Chen lifted Chu Yuqin’s jade hand and wrote two characters in her palm: “Immortal.”

Sensing the characters Lu Chen inscribed, Chu Yuqin was shocked, and even her refined and graceful face showed a hint of panic.

It is well-known that this world is a Martial Arts World, one without Immortals.

Even if someone reached the legendary Heavenly Human Realm, it was just a few hundred years added to their lifespan, after all, they would still die.

Countless people tried various methods to become Immortals, and numerous emperors throughout various dynasties sought the traces of Immortals in hopes of achieving immortality, only to lead their dynasties to collapse and be replaced, but Immortals in this world have remained nothing more than an unattainable legend to this day.

And now, Lu Chen had actually told Chu Yuqin that the secret he carried was related to Immortals, how could this not shock Chu Yuqin greatly.

If Lu Chen’s secret truly had something to do with Immortals, then it could indeed lead to great chaos in the world, not just chaos, but it could even cause the downfall of countless nations and dynasties.

In a panic, Chu Yuqin said, “Chen’er, you don’t have to say any more, from today onwards, don’t reveal anything about those two characters to anyone, including me.”

Lu Chen asked, “Madam Chu, do you believe me that quickly?”

Chu Yuqin replied, “I have no choice but to believe, your mysterious weapon and the Inner Strength that suddenly emerged from you have already proven that your words are related to those two characters.”

At this point, Chu Yuqin still asked with some concern, “Does that Wang Qingci and the power behind her have anything to do with those two characters you mentioned?”

Lu Chen shook his head and said, “Not exactly, I just have a way to control them, to ensure they can’t betray me. If they betray me, they will die as well.”

“So far, only I know this secret, because 1 am the only inheritor.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin felt a surge of emotion, and tears unconsciously fell from her eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Chen froze.

“Madam Chu, why are you crying?”

Chu Yuqin quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and said while wiping her eyes, “If your mother were to know that you have such an opportunity, she would be very happy under the netherworld.”

Chu Yuqin had thought that Lu Chen would just drift through this life, but unexpectedly, the day had come when he might obtain the chance to become an Immortal, something so many yearn for in their dreams, and it had fallen upon Lu Chen.

As Chu Yuqin, who had watched Lu Chen growing up since he was little, felt genuinely happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

With the opportunity to become an Immortal, not to mention immortality, at the very least Lu Chen would be capable of doing many things, for example, he could now contend for that position in the Capital city.

Lu Chen embraced Chu Yuqin’s mature and charming body and patted her back, comforting her, “Madam Chu, don’t cry, we should be happy about this.”

At this moment, the scent from Chu Yuqin’s body wafted into Lu Chen’s nose, and with the soft body in his arms, he suddenly felt a restlessness.

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless; the Dragon and Tiger Pill was truly the source of all evil, leaving him with no self-control whatsoever.

Just as Chu Yuqin was about to say something else, having sensed something was off, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly pushed Lu Chen, saying, “Chen’er, let go of me, you’re a married man now, it doesn’t look good for us to be seen hugging each other.”

Lu Chen did not let go, but leaned in her ear and whispered, “Madam Chu, what does it matter, you are my closest person, let’s see who dares to gossip.”

“Besides, you’ve watched me grow up since I was young, and we’ve done far more intimate things than this, what’s the big deal with just a hug?”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin became even more flustered and she pushed at Lu Chen’s body again.

But at that moment, she realized that the skill within her had dissipated and she could not muster any strength at all.

Chu Yuqin hurriedly said, “Chen’er, stop this, you’re grown up now, not a child anymore, you need to understand the need for propriety.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “Madam Chu, no matter how old 1 am, you are my aunt, and I am your Chen’er.”

With that, Lu Chen hugged Chu Yuqin tightly, pressing their bodies completely together.

Feeling the warmth of Lu Chen’s breath, Chu Yuqin was already somewhat dizzy.

Chu Yuqin steeled her heart.

No! This couldn’t go on!
