76: Chapter 76 What kind of emperor is he! He still had to lean against the wall to get out!

The gold silk buttonholes were forcibly torn open.

With the sound of tearing silk, the gold-embroidered Phoenix long dress slid down to both sides.

Lu Chen's hands rose suddenly, gripping Wei Hongyu's shoulders tightly.

Great Emperor-level golden Laws circulated in his palms.

Golden runes seeped inward along the Meridians of Wei Hongyu's shoulders, attempting to forcibly block the pink medicinal power within her body outside her Dantian.

"Hongyu, calm down!"

Lu Chen's voice rose.

"Don't tear my clothes!"

Wei Hongyu couldn't hear Lu Chen's words at all.

The medicinal power of the Immortal-grade Yin and Yang Heaven-Mending Pill was eroding her sanity. The Origin essence purified by the Azure Emperor bypassed Lu Chen's golden Laws and rushed straight to her mind, causing her to lose all reason.

Wei Hongyu hooked her hands around Lu Chen's neck, leaning down recklessly and pressing her red lips directly against Lu Chen's mouth, firmly blocking his next words.

Lu Chen's head was slammed heavily against the layer of Void Realm Spiritual Qi beneath him.

Thoughts raced through Lu Chen's mind.

He couldn't use Emperor Fire to forcibly extract the medicinal power; the medicine had entered her marrow. Forcing it out would crush her Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits, and then no one could save her.

As for finding an antidote, that was even more impossible.

Lu Chen's hands hung in mid-air. The burning temperature of Wei Hongyu's skin reached his fingertips, and the heat passed through his black robe, stirring the Pure Yang Qi within him.

He stopped resisting with spiritual power.

"Forget it, forget it."

Lu Chen's hands fell, wrapping around Wei Hongyu's waist.

"I'm not ascending to the Immortal Realm anyway."

Lu Chen turned his head to avoid the direct entanglement.

"My cultivation has reached its limit; if I can't reach the Immortal Realm, I can't have another Breakthrough."

"Staying single forever doesn't fit the prestige of a Great Emperor. I should open a harem to continue the Great Emperor Bloodline."

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding spiritual power transformed into a physical barrier, completely sealing off this space.

"I'll give in to you today!"

Their bodies overlapped in the airflow.

Inside the space, the flow of time was infinitely stretched by the Azure Emperor's Laws.

Only a brief moment passed in the outside world.

In this sealed Void Realm, three full days and nights had passed.

This was a confrontation of Origins between a current Great Emperor and a Saint.

Yin and Yang Qi formed a circulating vortex between them. At the center of the vortex, pink runes and golden Emperor Fire constantly collided and fused.

Lu Chen guided the Emperor Dao Origin, refining the medicinal power in Wei Hongyu's body bit by bit, then converting the refined power into gentle Great Dao essence, feeding it back into her Dantian.

A drastic change was occurring within Wei Hongyu's body.

The blocked cultivation barrier was forcibly broken through by this power, almost reaching the Supreme Realm!

The third day.

A roar echoed within the Chaos space; it was the fluctuation produced by the resonance of the Great Dao Laws.

The cultivation barrier in Wei Hongyu's body shattered with a bang.

The surrounding gray Chaos airflow surged back, turning into a liquid spiritual power vortex that poured into her body.

One hundred and eight silver Rule-Dao Patterns manifested on her skin's surface, connecting end-to-end to form a closed loop before disappearing deep into her flesh.

Early Stage of the Supreme Realm.

The assistance of the Immortal-grade Medicinal Pill and the Great Emperor saved her from years of bitter cultivation.

The medicinal power was finally completely refined.

The red airflow gradually receded, and the space returned to its original gray.

Wei Hongyu leaned lazily in Lu Chen's arms.

Sweat soaked the long hair at her temples, sticking it to her cheeks.

Her breathing gradually stabilized, and her mind regained its clarity.

She opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Lu Chen's chest, then looked down at herself and the scattered fragments of clothing.

Images of the past three days flashed through her mind—the positions and words she wouldn't normally dare to imagine, she had done them all.

Wei Hongyu immediately regained her character as the President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

Her thoughts raced:

[Even though I was the one who lunged at him under the influence of the medicine and I was the one who benefited, the responsibility must be pushed onto him.]

[Only this way can I take the initiative next.]

Wei Hongyu propped up her upper body with one hand and poked Lu Chen's chest unceremoniously with her finger.

She pulled a long face, her voice filled with reproach.

"You, Lu Chen!"

"How dare you take advantage of this President while she was vulnerable!"

"But a Great Emperor is indeed different; it only took three days to exhaust the medicine's effects—I mean the number of times, not the number of days, I'm not belittling you!"

Lu Chen had just closed his eyes to recover his consumed spiritual power when he heard this and immediately opened them.

The double pupils' shadows rotated half a circle in his eyes.

[She refuses to acknowledge it after sleeping together and even tries to shift the blame.]

Lu Chen found it amusing.

[This woman's calculations are so loud I can hear them all the way from the Yunxiao Holy Land in the Eastern Wasteland.]

[Trying to control me? The person who can control me hasn't been born yet.]

Lu Chen wrapped his arm around Wei Hongyu's waist and pulled hard.

Wei Hongyu let out a cry of surprise as she fell back into his arms.

Lu Chen rolled over to pin her beneath him and leaned down to kiss her.

Wei Hongyu's hands pressed against Lu Chen's shoulders, pushing twice before she went limp, submissively opening her mouth to respond.

The kiss ended.

Lu Chen looked up and twirled a strand of Wei Hongyu's long hair between his fingers.

"I'll just keep taking advantage of you then."

Lu Chen curled his lips.

"And you're feeling wronged?"

Wei Hongyu stopped pretending.

She stared straight into Lu Chen's eyes, her arms climbing up his neck.

"I don't care."

Wei Hongyu spat out three words.

"Since we've slept together."

Her finger traced circles on the back of Lu Chen's neck.

"Am I your Empress of the Main Palace now?"

She calculated in her mind that as long as she secured the position of the main wife, then heh! Heh! Heh!

By then, even that hot-tempered one from the Jiang Family and that cold woman from Yaochi would have to step aside.

Lu Chen propped himself up on the Void Realm and sat up straight.

"No."

His tone was flat.

"The marriage partner my Revered Master arranged for me isn't you."

The smile on Wei Hongyu's face froze, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.

[I've been chasing you for five hundred years.]

[The Top-Grade Spirit Stones I've spent on you could form a mountain.]

[I even gave you my virginity.]

[And now you're telling me the main wife is someone else?]

[That Senior Ling Yuling is truly a 'good' Revered Master. I hope things go well for you in the future! Heh!]

Wei Hongyu stood up directly, not even bothering to take clothes from her storage ring.

She raised her right leg and stepped unceremoniously on Lu Chen's face.

The Great Emperor's Protective Aura didn't activate, and the sole of her foot pressed firmly against the bridge of Lu Chen's nose.

The System jumped out, its loli voice ringing in the protagonist's ears...

"[I didn't even call you a little fry; it seems the host likes this type! Does having your face stepped on feel good? Hee hee!]"

"You even dare to say it out loud!"

Wei Hongyu pressed her toes hard against Lu Chen's cheek.

"Then why did you provoke me back then!"

Lu Chen grabbed Wei Hongyu's ankles; they felt smooth and slippery to the touch.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Lu Chen spoke up quickly.

"You are, you are, you are."

He decided to save his face first.

"Quickly take your foot away, you're really going to leave a mark!"

Wei Hongyu snorted coldly and withdrew her foot.

With a wave of her hand, she took out a brand-new gold-red long dress from her storage ring, quickly threw it on, and tied the belt.

Lu Chen propped himself up, preparing to stand.

As soon as his legs exerted force, a wave of soreness hit his knees.

His body leaned to the side, and he stumbled, nearly falling back to the ground.

As Wei Hongyu adjusted the frog buttons on her collar, she saw Lu Chen wobbling and let out a light laugh.

"What 'Number One Great Emperor under Heaven'?"

Wei Hongyu crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at Lu Chen.

"He still has to leave while leaning against the wall."

Lu Chen brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes and forcibly steadied himself.

He pointed at Wei Hongyu's nose.

"It's because the medicine's effect was too strong."

"You were too ruthless, you don't know how to be tender to a 'fragrant flower' at all."

"I was in passive defense; I consumed too much of my Origin power to save you."

Wei Hongyu walked up to Lu Chen step by step and poked her finger directly at his heart.

"You don't know."

Wei Hongyu's voice softened.

"A woman in her thirties is like a wolf, and in her forties like a tiger."

Her finger slid all the way down Lu Chen's chest, stopping at his Dantian.

"Let alone a 'fish' like me who is over five hundred years old."

Wei Hongyu stopped her movement.

"I've waited for you for hundreds of years; be careful or I'll put you, the Great Emperor, in the ground."

Lu Chen leaned against the invisible spatial barrier behind him and sighed upon hearing this.

[Indeed, beauty is like wolves and tigers, eroding one's will. Don't even touch it; don't even think about it!]

[However, beauty is also a form of invisible evil thought. As long as it's not in one's heart, one remains unmoved. But it's still very dangerous, so let me, the only Great Emperor of this era, bear this pain!]

In this situation, Lu Chen wanted to recite another poem to express this encounter!

Red candles shine high, veiling the silk curtains; a jade-like body lies exposed, surrounded by spring's beauty.

After several bouts of battle, the man's strength is spent; through many rounds of service, the woman is radiant.

Fragrant sweat drenching the embroidered pillow; delicate cries echoing through the brocade curtains.

As the morning sun rises, the man wishes to leave; leaning against the wall with a sigh, he returns through the broken door.

[Note: 'Weirui' refers to lush vegetation; here it describes being radiant.]
