Free Web NovelChapter 2319: Chapter 2009: I’m Doing This to Show Her My Sincerity
Seeing her sister’s worried expression, Zhou Youyou didn’t know what to say. freēwebnovel.com
She knew in her heart that Zhou Xiaoxiao was still preoccupied with the Heavenly Fate Sect.
However, this made her curious about why her sister wasn’t affected by Lu Chen’s incantation spell.
Logically, her sister should be like her, with no thoughts of the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Now, she had no desire to return to the Heavenly Fate Sect; in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she could feast on blood meals daily and enjoy the pleasures of life.
In such a good place, she was reluctant to leave.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked up and glanced at Zhou Youyou, who was stuffing a piece of pastry into her mouth.
Seeing her carefree demeanor, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh again.
Like Zhou Youyou, she was also curious as to why Lu Chen hadn’t placed a spell on her.
If Lu Chen had charmed her, she wouldn’t still be thinking about the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Could it be that, as Lu Chen said, he hadn’t enchanted Zhou Youyou at all, and his supposed spell was just a deception?
Recently, Lu Chen had explicitly told her that he hadn’t put any spell on them.
But initially, she didn’t believe it, thinking that Lu Chen was lying to her.
However, as time passed, she found herself developing feelings for Lu Chen, but not to the extent of deep, passionate love.
This indicated that Lu Chen truly hadn’t cast a spell on her.
If Lu Chen hadn’t enchanted her, then perhaps her sister wasn’t under his incantation either? Could her sister have willingly stayed at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a mix of emotions within her.
If this was true, then it was truly troubling.
If her sister was controlled by Lu Chen, she could find excuses to console herself and attribute everything to the spell.
But if Zhou Youyou wasn’t controlled and willingly stayed at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, nothing she said would matter, and she wouldn’t be able to persuade her sister to leave in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a headache.
Just then, Lu Chen appeared at the courtyard door.
Seeing Lu Chen come to the West Wing Courtyard in broad daylight, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but curl her lips.
Having been with Lu Chen for so long, she understood his nature; he was a pure lecher, ready to indulge at any hour.
Now that he was here, it was obvious he wanted to satisfy his urges with them.
Seeing her lover arrive, Zhou Youyou hurriedly stuffed the remaining pastry into her mouth, quickly chewed, swallowed, and took a sip of water, then quickly stood up.
She thought things were about to happen.
But Lu Chen walked straight to the round stone table, sat down on the stone stool, and said, "I have something to ask you."
Seeing that Lu Chen didn’t seem inclined to harm, Zhou Youyou sat down again and curiously asked, "What is it?"
By now, they had told Lu Chen almost everything about the Heavenly Fate Sect, so logically, he should have no issues regarding the sect.
Lu Chen said, "A few days ago, evil spirits slaughtered an entire city. Could this be the work of the Heavenly Fate Sect?"
Lu Chen was somewhat worried that Yun Yudie might use such means to compel the Zhen Nan Prince Manor to hand over Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Although he regarded Yun Yudie as his woman, recklessly causing mysterious chaos and massacring natives made Lu Chen uneasy; he didn’t want their personal issues to cost innocent lives.
Upon hearing this, without waiting for Zhou Youyou to speak, Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Impossible! The Sect Hierarch wouldn’t do such a thing."
She knew the Sect Hierarch well; he only devoured high-quality blood meals and had no interest in mortals lacking spiritual evil.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao so agitated, Lu Chen quickly said, "I was just saying."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "You confine us in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, preventing us from leaving; even if the Heavenly Fate Sect did something, we wouldn’t know. How could we know the sect’s affairs when we’re stuck here?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen grinned and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao.
How could he not understand what Zhou Xiaoxiao meant?
She just wanted him to allow them free passage out of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, knowing full well Zhou Xiaoxiao intended to convey information to the Heavenly Fate Sect.
Seeing Lu Chen’s amused gaze on her, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a bit guilty.
She indeed wished for him to let them leave but knew it was almost impossible; she was just testing him, hoping he’d have a lapse in judgment.
But then, Lu Chen thoughtfully rubbed his chin and said, "That seems reasonable. Starting today, you may freely come and go from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor; I won’t stop you from doing anything."
He no longer worried whether Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou would leak information; instead, he hoped Zhou Xiaoxiao would tell Yun Yudie about his ability to enhance their realm.
Once Yun Yudie knew, she’d surely become deeply interested in him, perhaps even come to the Capital city herself.
That way, dual cultivation with Yun Yudie would become much simpler.
Currently, the Heavenly Fate Sect was deep in the mountains, and the Zhen Nan Prince Manor sending a large army wouldn’t be easy; rather than making the first move, he hoped to lure Yun Yudie to him.
Hearing this, the sisters looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked with suspicion, "Are you serious? You’re truly not going to prevent us from leaving the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"
Lu Chen said, "Naturally, I’m serious."
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll inform the Sect Hierarch of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s details?"
Lu Chen smirked mischievously, "Do you think I’m afraid?"
Upon his question, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly realized.
How could this guy fear her leaking information? He likely hopes she’d tell the Sect Hierarch, drawing him to the Capital city.
This rogue surely has designs on the Sect Hierarch’s body.
Pah, truly despicable!
Zhou Xiaoxiao coldly grunted, "You will regret it."
Zhou Youyou also came to her senses, muttering, "Even if we tell the Sect Hierarch about you, she likely won’t believe it."
Before they engaged with Lu Chen, neither sister believed someone could possess such vibrant vitality and withstand the Deceitful Evil’s erosion.
If this message reached the Heavenly Fate Sect, the Sect Hierarch would surely suspect they’d betrayed him by deliberately relaying false information to lure him to the Capital city.
Lu Chen said, "It doesn’t matter if she believes it or not; doing this is a demonstration of my sincerity."
Zhou Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Your sincerity?"
Lu Chen said, "Of course, I want to marry her, so naturally, I must show some goodwill."
Seeing Lu Chen speak so frankly, Zhou Xiaoxiao thought, this rogue indeed harbors ill intentions, aiming to seduce their Sect Hierarch.
Yet, if their Sect Hierarch truly could do such things with this man, then perhaps she could quickly restore her full power and even further breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm.
By then, Dazhou would have no rival against her, and Dazhou’s Qi Fortune would likely be insufficient to suppress her.
And this man would become her exclusive blood meal.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat.
If Lu Chen became their Sect Hierarch’s exclusive blood meal, then she and her sister would no longer be able to enjoy it.
For a moment, she felt a subtle resistance within.
She no longer wanted to inform their Sect Hierarch about Lu Chen.
