"We'll see about that later!"
After a moment of thought, Lin Chen continued, "Zhuqing, I want to give you a proper title!"
Zhu Zhuqing had been following Lin Chen without a proper title, and while she didn't say anything when Lin Chen married Xue Ke, Lin Chen knew she felt uneasy.
The higher-ups of Tianwen Academy all knew Zhu Zhuqing's true identity; although they wouldn't say anything openly, who knew what they might say behind her back!
Zhu Zhuqing was an extremely strong-willed girl; she had her own pride.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. She slowly rose and looked at Lin Chen. Seeing his serious expression, her heart was deeply moved.
"Can…can I?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes a little red.
"Of course, if you don't mind, as a co-wife!" Lin Chen affirmed.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Won't it make things difficult for you?"
Lin Chen's legal wife was a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire. Zhu Zhuqing had originally thought that even if Lin Chen married her, her status would at most be that of a concubine, but she never expected Lin Chen would be willing to marry her as a co-wife!
Unbeknownst to her, a tear had already traced a path down Zhu Zhuqing's cheek. Lin Chen gently wiped it away and said, "Silly girl, for you, none of this is a big deal!"
Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face. She gently leaned against Lin Chen's chest and softly said, "Let's not, your intention is enough. Once your plan succeeds, then you can marry me. By then, I want to be the Empress!!!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Good, it's a deal!!!"
Zhu Zhuqing's thoughtfulness made Lin Chen see her in a new light. If he truly ascended to the Heaven Dou throne, what would be the harm in having another Empress!
…
Lin Chen's figure reappeared in the secret chamber where Xiao Wu was being held. The vast chamber had undergone a drastic transformation.
Lin Chen had converted it into a cozy living space. After half a month of torment, Xiao Wu had become completely docile. Xiao Wu was utterly obedient to Lin Chen's words, and Lin Chen wasn't worried about Xiao Wu feigning compliance, as Mind Element magic was not to be trifled with. Naturally, Xiao Wu's treatment improved.
Now, Xiao Wu had food, drink, and clean water for bathing. It could be said that the facilities in the secret chamber were fully equipped. When bored, Xiao Wu could even read to pass the time. The Xiao Wu of ten thousand years later was far less lively than when she first entered Shrek. Xiao Wu's personality had also changed slightly. The secret chamber was no longer dim; bright lights could be turned on at any time, and according to Xiao Wu's requests, the chamber's decor was entirely in Xiao Wu's favorite pink hues!
The collar around Xiao Wu's neck remained, but the chain connecting to it had disappeared.
Without the restraint of the chain, Xiao Wu could not only move freely through every corner of the secret chamber but also no longer had to constantly worry about being electrocuted.
The reason Lin Chen didn't remove Xiao Wu's collar was not only because Xiao Wu looked more alluring with it on, but also because this collar was an independent spirit tool. Inside the collar were two miniature spirit tools: one was a spirit tool similar to a locator. Since the Douluo Continent did not have satellites, the positioning spirit tool Lin Chen developed couldn't pinpoint locations as accurately as GPS, but it could still provide a rough direction. Although there were some distance errors, such errors would not exceed one kilometer!
Lin Chen never intended to keep Xiao Wu confined here indefinitely!
However, if Xiao Wu had any improper thoughts or actions after leaving the secret chamber, Lin Chen would not hesitate to detonate the other spirit tool inside the collar, making Xiao Wu understand what it meant to be dismembered!
After the collar and chain were separated, it meant that Xiao Wu's spirit power seal had been lifted. Xiao Wu could not only use her spirit power but also continue to cultivate.
Gradually, Xiao Wu had begun to get used to her current life, and her mindset had gradually improved. Although she still wanted to leave the secret chamber, this desire was no longer as strong as before.
And the only thing she had to do was to please Lin Chen and serve him!
Xiao Wu, who was cultivating on the bed, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. She slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of the door. Upon seeing Lin Chen, her eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face!
"Master, you're here! Xiao Wu missed you so much!!!!"
Xiao Wu lightly jumped off the bed, then, while speaking, she threw herself into Lin Chen's arms!
Lin Chen rubbed Xiao Wu's head and said, "Hmm, were you good today!"
"Mmm mmm mmm… Xiao Wu was very good, Xiao Wu was the best!" Xiao Wu said sweetly.
Xiao Wu's small head kept rubbing against Lin Chen's chest, sniffing hard at the faint, subtle fragrance on Lin Chen's body!
"Hmm, that's good. I'm a bit tired today, help me relax!" Lin Chen said with a slight smile.
Saying that, Lin Chen walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's pretty face immediately turned crimson. She softly "hmm"-ed, and as she walked towards Lin Chen, she shed the few pieces of gauze clothing she had on, revealing her previously veiled, snowy white skin.
Xiao Wu slowly walked up to Lin Chen and said softly, "Master, Xiao Wu will undress you."
"Hmm!"
With Xiao Wu's service, Lin Chen also shed the restraints on his body.
Xiao Wu squatted down and said, "Master, please rest, Xiao Wu will serve you!!!!"
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Wu's eyes had long become hazy.
She slowly climbed onto Lin Chen and, trembling, whispered in his ear, "Master, please take Xiao Wu!!!!"
"You won't regret it?" Lin Chen looked at Xiao Wu and asked.
Xiao Wu shook her head, her face already flushed crimson. "Xiao Wu won't regret it, everything Xiao Wu has belongs to Master!!!!" Xiao Wu said softly.
…
The next morning, Xiao Wu in the secret chamber slowly woke up. "Hiss…" Xiao Wu murmured, recalling the madness of last night, a blush appearing on her fair little face. "He's too strong, what if I can't handle it?"
Seeing that Lin Chen was already gone, Xiao Wu slowly sat up and saw a delicate jade box beside her.
Xiao Wu curiously opened one, and a rich floral scent instantly wafted over.
"This is… Immortal Grass Essence!!!"
