Chapter 432: Chapter 268: Has Lu Chen Fallen From Grace?_1

Upon seeing the Essence Pill on the system interface, Lu Chen was curious about what the pill was for, so he promptly clicked to view its information.

[Essence Pill: Taking it can temper meridians and accelerate the strength enhancement of martial artists.]

Upon reading the description of the Essence Pill, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Was it really that simple?

It only mentioned the acceleration of a martial artist’s strength enhancement, without specifying by how much, providing no reference. How was he to know exactly how precious this pill was?

Forget it, once someone uses it, then he would know how precious the pill was. The effects of the Preserving Beauty Pill they used before were so good, so the effects of this Essence Pill should not be too far off.

At this time, Lu Chen gently stroked Chu Yuqin’s hair, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.

It’s said that martial artists have difficulty becoming pregnant, and his other powerful wives had yet to conceive his child up to now. But Chu Yuqin was completely different from them.

Now a Half-step Grandmaster herself, Chu Yuqin had conceived his child the very first time they were intimate.

It seemed that there really was a great difference in constitution between martial artists, and perhaps some women are simply more prone to pregnancy.

Chu Yuqin, who was sprawled on the bed, felt her hair being disturbed and spoke in a feeble voice, “Chen… Chen’er…, enough… enough already…”

Although Lu Chen had always used the Rejuvenating Skill to treat Chu Yuqin, and she had not felt any pain, the depletion of her physical energy was very real. She was only a Half-step Grandmaster; how could she be a match for a Grandmaster.

At this point, Chu Yuqin felt her mind was entirely muddled, incapable of pondering any questions.

Now she finally understood why, when she used to patrol the inner court of the Prince’s Mansion, she always heard certain noises. So this was the reason.

Chu Yuqin felt that if this continued, she might completely lose consciousness.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen laughed, then whispered into her ear, “Yuqin, what did you just call me?”

“Calling the wrong name deserves a punishment, you know.”

Feeling the voice in her ear, Chu Yuqin’s delicate body involuntarily trembled.

Punishment? What punishment?

Could it be…?

Scared, Chu Yuqin quickly said, “Darling, I was wrong…”

Seeing Chu Yuqin suddenly get flustered, Lu Chen hugged her slender waist tightly and didn’t proceed with his mischief, saying, “If you really can’t change your ways, you can continue to call me Chen’er in the future. I like that name; it has a nice ring to it.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s face immediately flushed with intense heat, realizing Lu Chen’s teasing intent—this little rascal just wished to humiliate her.

If she continued calling Lu Chen ‘Chen’er,’ it meant she was still looking at Lu Chen from the perspective of an elder. For an elder to behave in that manner before Lu Chen, wouldn’t it signify that she lacks propriety?

Chu Yuqin huffed at that moment, then said, “Don’t think that I don’t know what naughty ideas are going through your mind.”

Lu Chen smiled faintly, then responded, “What bad thoughts could I possibly have?”

That’s when Chu Yuqin spoke up, “Come on, get up already. Qing Li is waiting for you next door.”

Lu Chen said, “The night has just fallen; there’s no need to rush.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin immediately felt a bit of annoyance and promptly said, “What do you mean night has just fallen? Do you take me for a fool? It’s already the next evening.”

Although from yesterday afternoon till just before Lu Chen finished his mischief, she had been mostly groggy, she had somewhat regained consciousness a few times and knew it was now the next day.

Chu Yuqin could also guess why she had managed to hold on until now; this bad guy’s Immortal Technique could heal injuries without her feeling the least bit unwell—persisting till now was only too normal.

Seeing Chu Yuqin’s emotional tone, Lu Chen chuckled and whispered in her ear, “I thought my wife had already lost her mind and didn’t realize it was already the next day. I didn’t expect you to find out.”

At that moment, Chu Yuqin said, “Qing Li also married you after all. Letting her wait in her room alone for a day and a night—should word get out, it would affect her reputation. You better go to her room quickly.”

A woman marrying a man, yet the master doesn’t enter the bridal chamber for an entire day and night—if word of this spreads, people might think the woman had something amiss, which kept the master from the bridal chamber all day and night.

Lu Chen remarked, “Alright then, you rest well. I’ll go to her room right now.” Saying this, Lu Chen finally agreed to part with Chu Yuqin.

After he got up from Chu Yuqin, he prepared to get dressed. Just then, Chu Yuqin slowly turned over, attempting to get up and help Lu Chen dress, but as soon as she moved a bit, she realized she had no strength in her body.

Seeing Chu Yuqin prop herself up only to collapse back down, Lu Chen said with a laugh, “My dear wife, you better rest up. Don’t overexert yourself.”

Hearing that, Chu Yuqin snorted coldly, looking at Lu Chen with a face full of reproach, “It’s all your doing; I don’t have any strength left.”

Lu Chen chuckled, not teasing Chu Yuqin further. He quickly dressed and then headed straight to Chu Qingli’s room next door.

When Lu Chen arrived at Chu Qingli’s room, she was already fast asleep on the bed, and Chu Qingli’s maidservants had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.
