Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 1996 Xiaoxiao, do you think you can escape?

After reviewing Zhou Xiaoxiao's profile, Lu Chen closed the system panel and walked towards the room.

As soon as Lu Chen entered the room, the maid at the door immediately closed the door.

Zhou Xiaoxiao only came to her senses when she heard the door close.

For some reason, she felt that Lu Chen was very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Unlike Zhou Youyou, Zhou Xiaoxiao's affection for Lu Chen was rising rapidly; she simply felt that Lu Chen looked familiar.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou came up to Lu Chen with a smile and said, "Young Master, this is the new courtesan of Baihua Pavilion that I was talking about. What do you think of her?"

Hearing Zhou Youyou's words, Lu Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

He could tell that Zhou Youyou was putting on an act for his sister.

Lu Chen did not answer Zhou Youyou's question immediately. His gaze swept over Zhou Xiaoxiao, scrutinizing her carefully.

Feeling Lu Chen's intense gaze, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Chen's gaze was too aggressive, as if he wanted to devour her completely right away.

This caused Zhou Xiaoxiao to feel a sense of resistance; this lowly human was actually showing her a strange arousal.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a surge of murderous intent, but she also knew that since Lu Chen was here, there must be a powerful expert in the Earth Realm nearby. If she made a move at this time, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Zhou Xiaoxiao then stood up and said, "This concubine greets Prince Lu."

Lu Chen walked over to Zhou Xiaoxiao in a few steps, naturally put his arm around her waist, leaned close to her neck and took a deep breath, revealing a very intoxicated look as he said, "You really are a beauty. You understand me best, Youyou."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling.

She had heard on her way here that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a list with many strange names on it, including Zhou Youyou, her name, the Holy Maiden of the Tianyun Sect, and their leader's name.

Now that Lu Chen has directly called out the name "Youyou," it means that Lu Chen may already know Zhou Youyou's name.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that Zhou Youyou would use her own name to avoid revealing her identity after infiltrating the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

But now Lu Chen is calling Zhou Youyou by her nickname, and Zhou Xiaoxiao is increasingly feeling that this is a setup.

However, she remained calm. Just then, she noticed Lu Chen's hand gently stroking her buttocks, which immediately aroused her stronger resistance.

This human dared to take liberties with her; in an instant, the malevolent energy within her could no longer be contained and wanted to burst forth.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

This was the first time she had ever had such close contact with a human. Even though she treated humans as food, she only absorbed their life force and had never been so close to a human body before.

Zhou Xiaoxiao then wanted to use the Ghostly Fiend technique to examine the life force within Lu Chen's body. She planned to leave the room immediately after examining Lu Chen's body.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao forced a smile and said to Lu Chen, "Your Highness... Your Highness, let me pour you some wine."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why drink when you have a beauty in your arms?"

Zhou Youyou, standing to the side, pursed her lips. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

Sure enough, before Zhou Xiaoxiao could say anything, Lu Chen swept her up in his arms and carried her directly to the bed in the room.

Zhou Xiaoxiao's mind went blank for a moment; she hadn't expected Lu Chen to be in such a hurry.

This guy had only been in there for less than twenty breaths, and he was already... Before Zhou Xiaoxiao could even react, Lu Chen threw her onto the bed.

Zhou Xiaoxiao panicked for a moment and quickly said, "Your Highness, I am menstruating today and I am afraid I will not be able to serve you."

Lu Chen lay on top of Zhou Xiaoxiao, looking down into her panicked eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips. He didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Feeling anxious and uneasy under Lu Chen's intense gaze.

Although she believed herself to be stronger than Lu Chen, Lu Chen had powerful protectors around him, and most importantly, they were currently in the capital city. Lu Chen possessed dragon energy, so she couldn't use Lu Chen to threaten the Earth Realm experts who were secretly protecting him.

If he were to attack Lu Chen, not only would he be unable to harm Lu Chen, but those Earth Realm experts would also suppress and seal him immediately.

In this situation, even if she didn't want to have close contact with Lu Chen, she couldn't directly take action and could only endure it.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side, not daring to look Lu Chen in the eye.

Zhou Youyou, who was inside the room, was a little unhappy after seeing this scene: This bastard actually dared to mess around with his sister in front of her.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen raised his hand and gently stroked Zhou Xiaoxiao's cheek. Then, he moved his hand down her chin, pinched her chin, and made her look at him: "Xiaoxiao, do you think you can escape?"

When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard Lu Chen call her by her nickname, her mind went blank.

She hadn't told Lu Chen her real name earlier. The fact that Lu Chen could call her by her nickname meant either that Zhou Youyou had told him beforehand, or that Lu Chen already knew her.

Thinking back to the list from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, Zhou Xiaoxiao was basically certain that Lu Chen definitely knew them.

In other words, all of this today was a setup by Lu Chen.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Chen with a panicked expression: "You...you..." She didn't know what to say.

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "You mean how I know your name, right?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared straight at Lu Chen without saying a word.

Lu Chen lowered his head slightly, getting even closer, until their heads were less than half a finger's width apart.

Lu Chen then said, "I not only know your name, but I also know that your true identity is mysterious."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao's body immediately stiffened.

As expected, Lu Chen already knew about their strange identities.

Just then, Zhou Xiaoxiao realized what was happening. She struggled to break free from Lu Chen's large hand, turned to look at Zhou Youyou in the room, and said angrily, "Youyou, you actually betrayed the leader!"

Since Lu Chen was able to recognize her identity at a glance, it means that Lu Chen could also recognize Zhou Youyou's identity.

Perhaps Zhou Youyou was exposed the moment Lu Chen saw her, which is why she was taken to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and there has been no news of her for so long.

Now that Zhou Youyou has suddenly returned, it is clearly a conspiracy by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Haven't I just fallen into his trap?

Zhou Youyou pouted and said, "Sister, this has nothing to do with me. I've been cursed by Lu Chen and can only obey him. I can't resist him."

Zhou Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. As a supernatural being, it was unlikely that it would listen to humans under normal circumstances. Moreover, Zhou Youyou was a protector of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, and her loyalty to their leader was beyond doubt.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Youyou must have been controlled by some means. (End of this chapter)
