More Children, More Blessings: Starting My Conquest by Marrying Wives - Chapter 5

[Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining another wife and concubine. Reward: Qi Refining Technique.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining another wife and concubine. Reward: Rejuvenating Hands.]

[Ding, the host has connected spiritually with his wife and concubine, earning a Barrett sniper rifle with twenty bullets.]

Lu Chen, who had been immersed in his blissful moment, snapped back to reality upon hearing the system’s notifications.

He hadn’t expected to receive such generous rewards.

And this was just for gaining new wives and concubines. What kind of rewards would he receive when they bore children?

As this thought crossed his mind, the system chimed again.

[Ding, the first spiritual connection between the host and a wife or concubine will yield more generous rewards.]

Lu Chen finally understood. So that’s how it worked—he had assumed every connection would result in such abundant rewards going forward.

He then checked his new rewards.

[Qi Refining Technique: A legendary cultivation method that can lead to immortality. It can be practiced by fostering emotional connections with wives and concubines.]

[Rejuvenating Hands: A technique that uses spiritual energy to heal injuries. When perfected, it has the potential to revive those on the verge of death. It can be practiced by fostering emotional connections with wives and concubines.]

Seeing these rewards, Lu Chen was completely stunned.

Wasn’t this a low-martial world?

How could a world like this have cultivation techniques such as Qi Refining and Rejuvenating Hands, which only existed in immortal cultivation worlds?

But, come to think of it, if he became an immortal one day, wouldn’t the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty be his for the taking?

With that thought, Lu Chen happily embraced the three women, Zhou Youyou, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Mu Zixuan. “You three are my treasures!”

Hearing this, the Zhou sisters were overjoyed. They had finally become the Northern Prince’s women, and once they reached the Northern Territory, they might no longer have to live in fear.

But then Lu Chen suddenly said, “By the way, my dear, I feel like you’ve been hiding something from me.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan froze.

She hadn’t expected Lu Chen’s intuition to be so sharp.

Lu Chen continued, “You’re already my wife. I don’t want my woman keeping secrets from me.”

Just as Mu Zixuan was about to speak, Lu Chen patted the waists of Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, then smiled and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you two are the daughters of Zhou Wangtian, aren’t you?”

Hearing this, the three women were shocked. They hadn’t expected Lu Chen to already know the truth.

Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly crawled out of Lu Chen’s embrace, kneeling on the bed as they kowtowed and pleaded, “Please forgive us, Your Highness! We did not mean to deceive you!”

“This was entirely our fault. Please don’t blame the princess consort!”

Mu Zixuan opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it, knowing full well that she was in the wrong.

Zhou Wangtian and Mu Changtian were known as the two great warlords of the Great Xia Dynasty, and their families had always been close.

Mu Zixuan and the Zhou sisters had grown up as close as real sisters, and she couldn’t bear the thought of them being sold off to brothels as playthings.

Seeing the Zhou sisters so panicked, Lu Chen’s lips curved into a smile, and he said, “You three did indeed act wrongly.”

“This is such an important matter, and yet you kept it from me.”

“But, I’ll give you three a chance to redeem yourselves.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan’s brows instantly relaxed, and she quickly asked, “Your Highness, how can we make amends?”

Lu Chen glanced at Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, “It’s simple. Just give me a few children.”

Realizing what he meant, the three women immediately understood.

Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly thanked him, “Thank you, Your Highness, for taking us in! We will certainly give you many children!”

Lu Chen then said, “Alright, you two should rest for now. Once we reach the Northern Territory, I will officially take you as my concubines.”

The two women responded in unison, “Yes, Your Highness.”

They then limped out of the room and headed toward the side chamber.

After they left, Mu Zixuan cautiously asked, “Your Highness, do you truly intend to take them in?”

Although Lu Chen was three years younger than her, he was still a prince, and Mu Zixuan was unsure of his temperament.

Lu Chen pulled Mu Zixuan into his arms and whispered in her ear, “If I didn’t plan on taking them in, do you think I would have touched them just now?”

Realizing this, Mu Zixuan understood.

Indeed, Lu Chen had clearly known about the Zhou sisters’ identities for some time, yet he hadn’t cared at all.

Lu Chen continued, “My dear, I hope this will be the first and last time you hide something from me. Do you understand?”

Mu Zixuan quickly replied, “Yes, Your Highness, I will never hide anything from you again.”

Lu Chen kissed her and gently stroked her hair. “That’s my good wife.”

“By the way, you don’t need to be so cautious around me. After all, you’re the mistress of this household.”

Although Mu Zixuan was three years older than him, over the past two days, she had behaved like a timid little woman, speaking and acting as if she were a stranger in her own home.

Blushing, Mu Zixuan said, “Your Highness, I will quickly adapt to my new role.”

Lu Chen continued, “And from now on, don’t call me ‘Your Highness.’ Call me ‘husband.’”

Mu Zixuan softly replied, “Yes, husband.”

“Alright, let’s get some rest. We’re leaving for the Northern Territory tomorrow.”

“Mm.”

With that, Lu Chen fell asleep, holding Mu Zixuan’s soft, fragrant body in his arms.

…

The next morning.

The sky was still dim, but the people of the Northern Prince’s residence were already up and preparing for the journey.

Lu Chen wasn’t in the habit of waking up early, but since today marked his departure from the capital, he reluctantly pulled himself out of bed.

Standing at the gate of the Northern Prince’s residence, Lu Chen gazed at the estate, feeling a bit melancholy.

The residence held so many memories from his childhood, and the past flashed before his eyes like scenes from a movie.

After this departure, who knew when he would return? After all, a vassal prince could not return to the capital without an imperial order.

Lu Chen silently vowed to himself that he would grow stronger as quickly as possible.

The day he returned to the capital would be the day he ruled the world!

At that moment…

A group of soldiers in armor rode up to the gate of the Northern Prince’s residence.

The lead officer, Li Feng, dismounted and knelt before Lu Chen, saying, “This subordinate, Li Feng, greets Your Highness. I have been assigned to protect you and your household during your journey to the Northern Territory.”

Just then, Lu Chen’s eyes gleamed with a look that went unnoticed by others. An information panel appeared before him.

[Name: Li Feng]
[Identity: One of the generals of the Great Xia’s Tiger Guards, currently the temporary commander of the Northern Prince’s escort team.]
[Strength: Seventh-tier]
[Loyalty: 50]

Seeing this information, Lu Chen was a bit surprised. It turned out the [Many Children, Many Blessings] system could also display information about men.

This was going to be incredibly useful.
