Chapter 1990 Don't even think about it, why should I help you?
Lu Chen then went through the records of the families that had been wiped out by the wolf demons many times over.
Just as he was about to give up, a sudden thought struck him: Could these families all belong to a certain faction in the imperial court?
Lu Chen himself had been an emperor for countless years, so he was very familiar with court struggles. It's no wonder he would think in this direction, since the struggle for the throne had become increasingly fierce recently, and it was normal for some people to use some despicable means.
Upon realizing this possibility, Lu Chen immediately had Zeng Shuo summoned.
After Zeng Shuo approached Lu Chen, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Lu Chen said, "Go and investigate those families that were wiped out by the wolf demons. Did they belong to the royal faction or the Empress Dowager's faction?"
Zeng Shuo was stunned when he heard Lu Chen's words.
In matters involving the struggle for succession, one could potentially lose their head.
The Zhengui Guards generally didn't want to get involved in such matters, and Zeng Shuo was no exception.
However, since this was Lu Chen's task, he had no choice but to obey.
After regaining his senses, Zeng Shuo cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will go and investigate immediately." Then he turned and left the west wing.
After Zeng Shuo left, Lu Chen said to the maid outside the pavilion, "Put away the dossier."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, picked Zhou Youyou up in his arms, and carried her towards the room.
Zhou Youyou looked at Lu Chen speechlessly; this guy was at it again.
A moment later, some sounds came from Zhou Youyou's room.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked down at Zhou Youyou's cute face, busy with his own things, and asked, "Youyou, can you help me?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Youyou asked weakly, "Help...help you with what?"
Lu Chen raised his hand and stroked her jade-like cheek, saying with a smile, "I want your sister, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, and your sect leader to all become my women."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Youyou was shocked. She had actually expected that Lu Chen was after them, but the fact that he asked her to help him get them made Zhou Youyou a little unhappy.
Perhaps sensing Zhou Youyou's dissatisfaction, Lu Chen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't you want sisters? Are you planning to keep serving me like this?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Youyou fell silent for a moment.
Over this period of time, she gradually developed a possessive desire for Lu Chen, but she was actually suffering terribly.
She would be very happy if Lu Chen came to her yard every few days.
But this guy comes every day, which is really hard for her to bear. Even though she is a supernatural being, she can't withstand Lu Chen's torment.
Zhou Youyou pouted and said reluctantly, "How do you want me to help you? They won't come to the capital unless it's something important."
Lu Chen didn't say it directly, but instead asked, "Didn't you feel it?"
Hearing Lu Chen's sudden question, Zhou Youyou asked in confusion, "What did you feel?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Didn't you sense that your cultivation level is improving?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Youyou suddenly realized that since she entered the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, even though she had not consumed any blood food, her cultivation level had been slowly improving, and the evil aura within her body had become increasingly intense.
However, her attention was focused on that matter, so she didn't notice it immediately. At this moment, Zhou Youyou sensed her cultivation level and discovered that she had reached the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.
When she first came to the capital, her cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Profound Realm. In just a few months, her cultivation level has actually increased to the middle stage of the Profound Realm. This rate of cultivation advancement is even faster than the rate at which she consumes blood food.
After Zhou Youyou came to her senses, she carefully recalled her memories of spending time with Lu Chen during this period.
She discovered that every time she cultivated with Lu Chen, the evil energy within her body would be stirred up and involuntarily flow into Lu Chen's body.
However, those evil spirits would return to her body, becoming even purer upon returning. It was precisely because of this that her cultivation level continued to improve.
Lu Chen not only helped her purify the evil spirits, but also infused her with vitality. Therefore, the reason she felt excited when she was near Lu Chen was not only because she had feelings for him, but also because Lu Chen's vitality was particularly strong.
Thinking of this, Zhou Youyou's gaze toward Lu Chen grew brighter and brighter, as if she had seen some kind of treasure.
However, she was puzzled. After Lu Chen infused her with his life force, wouldn't Lu Chen's life force decrease? In that case, Lu Chen's lifespan would also decrease significantly. Thinking of this possibility, the excitement in Zhou Youyou's eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of worry.
He then asked, "If you infuse your life force into us for cultivation, wouldn't your lifespan be greatly shortened?"
At this point, Zhou Youyou wanted to push Lu Chen away. Although she also wanted Lu Chen to live, she did not want him to die.
Seeing that Zhou Youyou was worried about him, Lu Chen comforted her, saying, "I'm fine. This little bit of hope is nothing."
The evil spirit within Zhou Youyou did indeed devour his life force after entering his body.
But perhaps because of the existence of the Netherworld Body, his vitality will soon be restored to normal.
So even though Lu Chen came to Zhou Youyou's place every day during this period, his health was not affected in the slightest.
On the contrary, his realm and strength are constantly improving because of the Spiritual Fiend Body Refining Technique.
The method of spiritual warriors is actually to draw spiritual energy into the body, allowing the devouring power of the spiritual energy to consume their own life force, damage their own cells, stimulate cell activity, and thus temper their physical body, making their body stronger.
The erosion of the body by the evil spirits is more severe, and it devours more life force. Therefore, the more severe the damage caused by Zhou Youyou's evil spirits when they enter Lu Chen's body, the stronger the activity of Lu Chen's cells becomes. This also makes Lu Chen's strength improve faster. Of course, there is no such thing as cells in this world.
Lu Chen leaned down, their bodies pressed together, and whispered in her ear, "Youyou, please help me."
Hearing Lu Chen's deep, magnetic voice, Zhou Youyou couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Zhou Youyou snorted and said, "Don't even think about it. Why should I help you?"
Although she had already decided to help Lu Chen, seeing Lu Chen's confident and domineering attitude made her feel a little uneasy.
Seeing that Zhou Youyou was still unwilling to help him, Lu Chen stopped talking.
He then used his mouth to capture Zhou Youyou's mouth and began to exert himself on her. Since she was unwilling, he would let her bear it alone.
Seeing Lu Chen suddenly become so fierce, Zhou Youyou quickly raised her delicate hand and pushed against Lu Chen's chest. "Mmm...mmm..."
She was just throwing a little tantrum, why is this guy so petty? He immediately started yelling at her.
*Sobbing* She's going to be toyed with by that bastard again. (End of Chapter)
