Chapter 1317: Chapter 1007: We’re All Friends Here, No Need for Formalities
Pei Shuhua was very aware of her situation, and she did not possess any princess-like temperants. As one must bow one’s head under another’s roof, and considering they owed Lu Chen a huge favor, she kept a very low profile in front of him.
Lu Chen looked into Pei Shuhua’s beautiful eyes and said, “Well then, but calling Shuhua may be too intimate. It’s not quite appropriate, I shall address you as Miss Pei from now on.”
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Pei Shuhua also realized that being addressed by her first na was indeed too intimate, especially since they had just t.
However, she did not mind much about these formalities.
At that mont, Lu Chen continued: “I have prepared a cultivation chamber for you, inside the Imperial Palace.”
This…
Pei Shuhua said, “Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace is where the Imperial Family resides, it would be inappropriate for to live there.”
Pei Shuhua beca vigilant at that mont; during this period, she and her ancestor had traveled throughout the Daxia Dynasty and had gotten to understand Lu Chen better.
It is said that Lu Chen is a very lascivious man, and all his consorts are beauties without exception, and he is particularly assertive. The won he takes a liking to end up being taken into his Harem.
Even his Honored Master couldn’t escape from Lu Chen’s clutches in the end.
Pei Shuhua vaguely sensed that Lu Chen had ulterior motives towards her.
Lu Chen then said, “The Imperial Palace is where the Spiritual Energy is most dense in the Tianchen World, cultivating inside the palace has better prospects for breakthroughs.”
This…
Pei Shuhua fell silent, giving no reply, while Pei Tianlu also realized Lu Chen’s intention at this mont, but he was unable to say much at this point.
As Pei Shuhua’s elder ancestor, he naturally did not want to see his descendant being coerced, but now he had been marked with a Soul Control Seal by Lu Chen, making it impossible for him to betray Lu Chen.
As Pei Shuhua remained silent, Lu Chen, with a smile, said, “If Miss Pei is unwilling, I can arrange for another suitable place for cultivation.”
Pei Shuhua ca back to her senses and said directly, “No need. I will cultivate in the Imperial Palace.”
Pei Shuhua thought that once she beca Great Emperor, even if Lu Chen wanted to do sothing to her, it wouldn’t be so easy.
Moreover, Lu Chen had just saved her ancestor not long ago, and if she turned against Lu Chen now, it might not be appropriate.
Additionally, since her ancestor was now controlled by Lu Chen, being caught in the middle was tricky for him. She decided to follow Lu Chen’s instructions for now, and after she ascended as the Great Emperor, she would think of ways to remove the Soul Seal from her ancestor.
Lu Chen said, “I will have soone lead Miss Pei to the cultivation chamber now.”
“If Miss Pei has any needs in the future, she can inform the maids of the Imperial Palace, and they will make the necessary arrangents.”
Pei Shuhua bowed and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Lu Chen smiled faintly, “We’re all one family, no need for formalities.”
Hearing this, Pei Shuhua’s expression turned complex. Though she kept a low profile after entering the Daxia Dynasty,
being a Princess of the Chiyue Dynasty before, living under soone else’s roof and having to speak lowly now was quite unbearable for her.
In this world, power is still paramount.
At this mont, Pei Shuhua’s Dao Heart beca even more resolute—she must beco the Great Emperor and grow even stronger.
Just then, Lu Chen transmitted a ssage to the maids. Soon, several maids in long dresses appeared at the door of the Imperial Study Room, their attire making even Lu Chen pause for a mont.
Lu Chen directly asked, “What is the situation with the clothes you are wearing?”
The head maid answered, “Your Majesty, they were chosen by Consort Mu for us to wear.”
Lu Chen instantly realized that a few days ago, he had asked Mu Zixuan to prepare several maids for an arrangent he had in a few days; perhaps Mu Zixuan thought these maids were ant to serve him, so she had them change into maid uniforms.
As the first woman to follow Lu Chen, Mu Zixuan was very aware of what Lu Chen liked. When she was with Lu Chen, he often liked her to wear this type of clothing.
Lu Chen coughed, then said, “From now on, you shall serve the young lady beside , and also, change back into the traditional ancient attire you used to wear.”
After all, Pei Shuhua was new to the Daxia Dynasty, and Lu Chen did not want her to think he was a pervert.
The head maid took the lead in bowing and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
At this mont, the head maid asked, “May we know how should we address this young lady?”
Lu Chen continued, “Just address her as Miss Pei.”
The head maid and several other maids then bowed to Pei Shuhua, saying, “We’ve t Miss Pei.”
Pei Shuhua glanced at the clothes the maids were wearing, finding them quite beautiful. During her ti in the Daxia Dynasty, aside from the peculiar technical gadgets that intrigued her, she was also quite fond of the clothing from Daxia.
She herself had bought quite a few outfits, but because she had her elder ancestor Pei Tianlu with her, she hadn’t worn those outfits.
Lu Chen turned to look at Pei Shuhua and continued, “Miss Pei, why don’t you follow them now to see your Cultivation Chamber? If you don’t like it, I can have soone change it for you.”
With that, Lu Chen instructed the head maid, “Lead Miss Pei to Fenghua Hall.”
Pei Shuhua glanced at Pei Tianlu, then followed the maids and left.
After Pei Shuhua had left, Pei Tianlu finally spoke, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing Shuhua to stay within the Imperial Palace to breakthrough in seclusion.”
Despite knowing the intentions of Lu Chen, being under soone’s roof, one has to bow their head; Pei Tianlu really had no other choice at the mont.
Lu Chen’s unknown origins and complex background, in addition to the Soul Control Seal within Pei Tianlu, ant that even if he knew Lu Chen had indecent designs towards Pei Shuhua, he could only express gratitude to Lu Chen.
However, speaking of which, if Pei Shuhua also took a liking to Lu Chen, it might turn out to be a good thing.
It was rumored that Lu Chen treated his wives and concubines very well, and they could go wherever they wished. During their ti in Great Sum, Pei Tianlu and Pei Shuhua visited many of the worlds managed by Lu Chen’s wives; thus, they also heard so stories about Lu Chen and his wives.
To the common people, even though Emperor Xia was seen as flirtatious, he was a responsible man.
Moreover, he usually supported whatever his wives wanted to do, which is one of the reasons why his wives also owned quite a few properties.
Hearing Pei Tianlu’s words, Lu Chen smiled and then said, “Senior Pei doesn’t really think so inside.”
Caught in his lie by Lu Chen, Pei Tianlu felt sowhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say.
Lu Chen continued, “Rest assured, if Miss Pei breaks through to beco a Great Emperor and wishes to leave the Daxia Dynasty, I won’t stop her.”
Lu Chen thought to himself, If she really becos a Great Emperor, he probably wouldn’t have the power to stop her anyway.
And he didn’t want to completely offend her, considering she was a woman with a score over ninety, and it was highly probable she had so past connection with him.
Ever since Lu Chen suspected that won with scores over ninety might have been related to him in past lives, he no longer planned to use forceful thods.
