Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Now, all she could hope for was that during the time her master Lu Chen descended from the mountain, he would focus all his attention on his rightful duties and not spend his days indulging with his wives and concubines.

At that moment, Yun Xianxian said, "Alright, go busy yourself with your affairs."

Following those words, Chen Wanrong rose to her feet, "Yes, Master."

As her voice faded, Chen Wanrong turned around and walked towards the grand hall's entrance. Just when she was about to reach the door, Yun Xianxian continued, "If he is exceptionally talented, just like your senior sister, then I might also consider taking him as my personal disciple."

Hearing this, Chen Wanrong was slightly stunned. If her master truly accepted Lu Chen as a personal disciple, then her relationship with Lu Chen would become legitimate.

Chen Wanrong instantly understood her master's intention. Her master had essentially agreed to their relationship, and now it all depended on whether Lu Chen could pass her master's test.

Chen Wanrong then turned back to Yun Xianxian and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for granting this favor."

Yun Xianxian coldly said, "Quickly get out; your presence is vexing to me."

"Disciple bids farewell." After saying this, Chen Wanrong turned once again and left the grand hall.

Watching Chen Wanrong's departing figure, Yun Xianxian let out a soft sigh and muttered to herself, "The path of cultivation is destined to be lonely. The advancements brought by the Dual Cultivation Skill are ultimately fleeting. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Afterwards, Yun Xianxian closed her eyes, and a chill emanated from her body. The entire grand hall became further encased in ice as she continued to speak to herself, "A Celestial Realm powerhouse has appeared up north. The energy signature this time does not seem to be the same as the one who previously triggered the heavenly phenomenon."

"The North Prince, blessed with fortune in the way of the immortals, is also in the North Country. Could there be some causal connection between these events?"

"It seems I must hasten to recover my strength and find time to visit the North Country."

…

Half a month later.

North Country.

At dawn, Lu Chen was lying in Yelv Nanyan's Gentle Jade Fragrance, appearing utterly relaxed. Xuanyuan Chaoge was already on his way to Yan County and would probably arrive there soon.

Ever since learning that Xuanyuan Chaoge had broken through to the Celestial Realm, Lu Chen felt no pressure at all. With a Celestial Realm powerhouse present, he could boldly do as he wished, as long as he did not provoke any other Celestial Realm strongmen.

It was then that Lu Chen suddenly remembered the Essence Pill and propped himself up, looking into Yelv Nanyan's eyes, he said, "Right, Nanyan, I have a question for you."

Yelv Nanyan asked curiously, "What would you like to ask, Prince?"

Lu Chen then said, "I have two types of pills here. One kind can make you stay forever young, and the other can enhance your strength. If you had to choose one, would you choose eternal youth or enhanced strength?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Yelv Nanyan suddenly thought of something she had observed recently. Mu Zixuan, Xiaozhou, and Dazhou seemed to have become much more beautiful, and their skin appeared to be more tender. In fact, the three of them were now stepping out without any makeup, apart from arranging their hair in the morning, their faces were completely free of rouge.

Yelv Nanyan thought to herself that it seemed the reason the princess and Xiaozhou, Dazhou had become more beautiful was due to taking the pill that granted everlasting youth.

At this time, Yelv Nanyan asked, "Prince, when you say 'eternal youth,' do you mean one will never get old?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes, aside from hair turning white, there will be no other changes; your face will remain wrinkle-free."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Yelv Nanyan didn't hesitate to say, "I choose the pill that grants eternal youth."

Surprised by Yelv Nanyan's choice, Lu Chen said, "I thought you would choose the pill that enhances strength."

Yelv Nanyan smiled faintly and then said, "If I were still in the Sky Wolf King's tribe, I would likely choose the pill that enhances strength."

If it were before, Yelv Nanyan, despite caring about her beauty, would have preferred to enhance her strength in order to protect herself in the harsh environment of the grassland.

But now that she was the North Prince's woman, her living environment had changed; she no longer needed to possess great strength.

She, of course, understood that greater strength meant slower aging, but even with slow aging, one would still get old. She was already in her thirties, and in a few years, she would be forty. With her strength, perhaps she could still maintain her charm at forty, but by fifty, signs of aging would be inevitable on her body.

Moreover, now that her heart harbored affection for someone, women who fall in love tend to become particularly concerned about their appearance.

In Yelv Nanyan's eyes, even if the growth in strength could delay the aging process temporarily, she didn't believe she could improve much more; she lacked confidence in herself.

One option promised certain everlasting youth, while the other required effort and carried great risk, and ultimately, aging was inevitable. Between these, there was no need for much consideration in choosing.

Initially, Lu Chen thought that Yelv Nanyan was quite an independent woman and that she would likely choose the Essence Pill. This was why he presented the choice to her, allowing Yelv Nanyan to decide for herself.
