"It was the offspring of this lord's incarnation," the Lunar Star Lord corrected coldly.
Lu Chen let out an "Oh" and hurriedly changed his words. "Yes, yes, the incarnation's offspring. Then does that mean... Your Ladyship's incarnation is in Haicheng? Could it be... the Chang family?"
"This matter must not be spread abroad."
Lu Chen's heart immediately tightened. "Yes, this minor god understands."
