Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Lu Chen arrived at the old city and met the two Grandmasters he had been longing to see.

These two Grandmasters were dressed in white fur coats, their muscles bulging beneath the fabric, giving off a powerful aura.

Upon seeing Lu Chen approaching from a distance, the two quickly advanced towards him and, arriving in front of Lu Chen, immediately knelt down and said, "Subordinate Dongmen Feiyue, subordinate Song Xuelin, pay respect to Your Majesty! Long live the King, long live, long live forever!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then he hurriedly said, "I am currently merely a Seignior within Great Sum, entitled to 'thousand years' only. Do not chant 'long live forever' in front of others, lest it be heard by those with ulterior motives."

Song Xuelin and Dongmen Feiyue instantly realized their mistake, and Song Xuelin immediately said, "Your Majesty, it was our lack of consideration. We are willing to accept punishment."

Lu Chen walked up to the two men and, with one hand on Song Xuelin's shoulder and the other on Dongmen Feiyue's, he quickly said, "Generals, please rise. You have just come from the polar regions and are unfamiliar with the situation in Great Sum; it is understandable. However, do be careful not to speak carelessly next time."

Dongmen Feiyue and Song Xuelin said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the two robust men got up, and at that moment, Lu Chen glanced at the two hundred thousand troops standing behind Song Xuelin and Dongmen Feiyue.

Compared to the soldiers recruited locally in North Country, these troops were more robust, and even more so than those of Great Yu City.

Lu Chen revealed a trace of a smile. With these two hundred thousand troops, North Country's military strength would once again climb a notch.

Of course, compared to these two hundred thousand troops, Lu Chen was actually more concerned about the one million population of the polar regions.

Lu Chen was quite curious about how the polar regions could sustain one million people because it was cold year-round, with only a few months of direct sunlight, and hardly any crops could be grown.

With this in mind, Lu Chen turned his gaze back to Song Xuelin and Dongmen Feiyue. "The climate of the polar regions is cold, and the environment is harsh. I am quite curious as to how the polar regions manage to sustain a population of one million people."

Upon hearing this question, Song Xuelin immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the polar regions are near the sea, and the fishing industry is very developed there, with inexhaustible fishery resources."

Lu Chen said, "I see."

Lu Chen thought to himself, no wonder they are able to sustain one million people; it is by relying on the sea for their livelihood.

Lu Chen continued, "North Country is currently in a period of development and needs a large population. I wonder if the commoners of the polar regions are willing to move south?"

Song Xuelin replied, "Your Majesty, the majority of the commoners in the polar regions are willing to move south. Although in the north they do not need to worry about not having enough to eat, it is exceedingly cold. The people of the polar regions have long wished to relocate southward, but due to many concerns, they have never taken that step."

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt reassured. Once the railway between Great Yu City and the polar regions was completed, it would be much easier for the people of the polar regions to migrate south, and they wouldn't have to worry about losing the land they had lived on for generations.

With this in mind, Lu Chen once again looked over Song Xuelin and Dongmen Feiyue, the two Grandmaster Military Generals, and then said, "Generals, you have undertaken a long and arduous journey to Yan County. I have already arranged for a military camp for you and the two hundred thousand troops behind you. Go and get acquainted with the new environment."

Upon hearing this, both men saluted and said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, led by North Country soldiers, Dongmen Feiyue and Song Xuelin, along with the two hundred thousand troops from the polar regions went to the military camp.

Just at that moment, a guard from the Prince's Mansion arrived on horseback in front of Lu Chen, "Prince, Lady Wang is about to give birth."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately entered the carriage he had arrived in, and then said to the driver of the Prince's Mansion, "Back to the Prince's Mansion."

For Lu Chen, his child was more important. He was very eager to know what kind of surprise this child would bring him.

Before long, Lu Chen returned to the North Prince Mansion. Just as he entered, he saw a maid waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Lu Chen come in, the maid hurriedly said, "Prince, the situation with Lady Wang is not looking good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen didn't say another word and leaped up immediately, using his Qinggong to swiftly jump into Wang Qingci's courtyard, which by then was already crowded with people.

Seeing Lu Chen arrive, the crowd didn't say much but quickly made way for him to enter.

When Lu Chen entered the room, Chu Yuqin was transferring her skill to Wang Qingci to alleviate her pain. Upon seeing Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin quickly said, "Chen'er, come over here and look; I don't know what happened, but her skill flow suddenly met with resistance. If this continues, both the child and the adult will be in danger."

Although Chu Yuqin usually disapproved of Wang Qingci, whom she saw as nothing but a bitch who did nothing but cling to and drain Lu Chen, Wang Qingci was still Lu Chen's wife and concubine, and moreover, she was carrying Lu Chen's child.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin put aside all grievances.

Lu Chen hurried to the bedside, glanced at Wang Qingci, who had her eyes closed, sweat beading and dripping unceasingly from her forehead, her appearance one of extreme pain.

She had her eyes closed, and although she vaguely knew Lu Chen had returned, she still couldn't open her eyes.

Without another word, Lu Chen immediately took Wang Qingci's jade-like hand and infused his spiritual power into her body, using the Rejuvenating Skill to check her condition.

Once the spiritual power entered Wang Qingci's body, she immediately felt much more comfortable, prompting Chu Yuqin to yield her position willingly.

Lu Chen then sat on the stool Chu Yuqin had just vacated, and while treating Wang Qingci, he checked on her condition.

Soon, Lu Chen discovered why Wang Qingci was in such discomfort. It turned out that the skill within her body had been absorbed by the child in her womb. However, the child could not transform those skills; as they accumulated inside her belly and could not circulate, the buildup became more and more severe, affecting both child and mother.

Realizing the state of Wang Qingci, Lu Chen chuckled and then said to her belly, "You little rascal, you're thinking of becoming a peerless warrior even before you come out, huh? Even siphoning your mother's skill."

As he spoke, Lu Chen used the Rejuvenating Skill to unblock Wang Qingci's meridians, and before long, her skill flow was smooth once again.

Seeing Wang Qingci's brow seem to relax, Chu Yuqin asked curiously, "Chen'er, what happened to her just now?"

Lu Chen replied simply, "The child inside was absorbing her skill, causing her to almost lapse into demonic deviation."

Chu Yuqin was somewhat surprised. The child hadn't even been born yet and was already absorbing the mother's skill; could it be that the child would grow up to be a Martial Arts prodigy?

By then, Wang Qingci, who had been in too much pain to open her eyes, finally opened them. Her hair, wet from sweat, clung to her cheeks, and Lu Chen raised his other hand to help her push the strands aside.

Wang Qingci, with a smile, said, "Thank you, Prince. If it were not for your timely arrival, I might have already lost my life."

Although Wang Qingci appeared extremely weakened, her smile still managed to be incredibly enticing.

Lu Chen smiled back and then said, "Alright, don't talk now; prepare yourself, the child is about to be born."

Wang Qingci didn't speak anymore, and not long after, the cry of a child could be heard in the room.

While the midwives were cleaning the child, Lu Chen continued to treat Wang Qingci to help her recuperate.

Chu Yuqin reminded, "Chen'er, have you thought of a name for the child?"

Lu Chen replied, "Mm, I've thought about it for a long time, call him Lu Hongzhi."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Wang Qingci murmured, "Hongzhi...Hongzhi... what a pity... it's a boy..."
