In the Pope Palace
Lin Chen held a stunningly beautiful woman in each arm. To his right was the peerless empress in a golden dragon robe, and to his left was a gentle and beautiful woman in a blue dress. A sweet fragrance and softness emanated from his embrace, making him slightly intoxicated.
" Dong'er, Rou'er, thank you for your hard work today~"
Bibi Dong gently removed his large hand and placed it on Shui Ningrou's slender waist. "I'm not tired at all, but Ningrou has been waiting for you for a long time~"
Shui Ningrou blushed and whispered, "Sister Dong'er ~"
Bibi Dong chuckled lightly, "You haven't seen her in a long time either. Spend more time with her. The empire is newly established, and I have many things to attend to."
Having said that, he disappeared into the main hall.
Shui Ningrou was slightly taken aback. The clever girl naturally guessed that this was an opportunity Dong'er had given her, but before she could react, those large hands had already begun to move up and down...
"Hmm~"
Lin Chen slowly leaned closer to her, kissed her delicate earlobe, and exhaled a warm breath, saying, " Ningrou, did you miss your husband?"
His touch completely melted Shui Ningrou, leaving her limp in his arms. Her beautiful face flushed, and she shyly responded with a soft "Mmm~".
"Hehe..." Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly. Instead of taking advantage of this lovely woman here, he picked her up and walked towards the back mountain.
He wanted to find Shui Bing'er and her sister so that they could have a deep bond as mother and daughter and treat each other with honesty.
In a castle on the back mountain
Lin Chen had just returned to the Pope Palace with the beauty in his arms when he heard a strange noise coming from the surrounding secondary castles. When he arrived at the top of the main castle, he found that Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were sparring.
"Hehe... these two girls are fighting again~"
Shui Ningrou, nestled in her arms, looked worried. "Husband, Bing'er is causing you trouble here~"
Snap!
Lin Chen slapped her firm backside hard and said seriously, " Bing'er is also my woman. It's only right that I take care of her. You're making it sound like we have a bad relationship. Don't do it again!"
"Mmm~" Shui Ningrou, her alluring eyes growing even more hazy. "I'm sorry, my husband, it was my fault~"
Lin Chen slapped it again, his face turning serious. "Hmm? You dare to say such a thing?"
A hint of panic appeared on Shui Ningrou, mature face. "I'm sorry..."
Before she could finish speaking, she realized she was wrong and quickly stopped herself.
Another one!
"Hehe... it seems ordinary family discipline won't be enough for Rou'er to remember~"
Shui Ningrou's eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes. "My husband clearly knows my feelings~, yet he still bullies me, I hate him so much~"
"Haha..." Lin Chen laughed loudly and quickly coaxed, "Alright, alright, my dear Rou'er, don't cry. It was your husband's fault."
For some reason, holding this gentle and beautiful woman, I felt an urge to tease her. But it had only just begun when she was already on the verge of tears. Indeed, women are made of water...
A moment later, a beautiful red-haired woman entered their field of vision. She was none other than Huo Feng, the dean of the Blazing Fire Academy, and also Huo Wu's mother.
A strange light flashed in Shui Ningrou eyes. It was her. What was she doing here? Was she just here to visit Huo Wu, or was she also...?
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and gently pinched her pert buttocks. " Rou'er, go and rest in the innermost fortress first. Your husband will bring Bing'er and the others to find you later."
"Hmm~"
In a certain secondary fort
Huo Feng and Huo Wu, this stunning mother and daughter pair, finally reunited after more than three years, so naturally they had endless things to talk about. Of course, the former's purpose in coming here was not entirely pure.
Now that the Spirit Hall Empire has just been established, there is a shortage of important positions. If she can secure a good position, she can not only develop the Blazing Fire Academy, but also improve the status of her and her mother in Lin Chen Xin.
This is the main reason why the Huo Feng came!
If Shui Ningrou Shui Ningrou Skywater Academy can get it, why can't she? She definitely wouldn't believe it if it weren't for Lin Chen...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... thud thud!
Just then, Lin Chen leaped forward, smiling at the crowd, "I could hear you all shouting from a mile away, what are you playing at~"
" Brother Chen ~"
" Brother Chen ~"
Huo Wu instantly abandoned her mother and stepped forward to take Lin Chen's arm, while Dugu Yan naturally snatched the other arm away.
Although Shui Yue'er also had the same idea, she couldn't bring herself to do it in front of her sisters, which is why she wasted an opportunity.
"I think I just heard someone looking for me?" Lin Chen gave the Huo Feng a meaningful look.
The beautiful woman trembled slightly upon seeing him, the scene of her previous conquest vividly flashing before her eyes. Her usual wild and fiery nature was replaced by a hint of panic. "Lin... Your Emperor ~"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I've been busy with the establishment of the Spirit Hall Empire, so I neglected to visit Madam Huo. Please forgive me."
Huo Feng's gaze wandered, and she quickly replied, "No... it's nothing~"
Huo Wu beside Lin Chen, couldn't help but show a strange expression. Why did her mother suddenly seem like a different person? Her gaze was as if she had been caught doing something wrong by an elder or someone she respected...
Wait! Could it be...?
A bold guess welled up in Huo Wu's mind: Could it be that her mother and Brother Chen had already...? Recalling the scene of their last meeting at the Blazing Fire Academy, their relationship didn't seem to have reached this point yet. But ever since their visit to the Blazing Fire Academy, her mother seemed to have become a different person.
Seeing the slight panic in her mother's eyes, Huo Wu, who knew her Huo Wu, became even more certain.
Lin Chen suggested, "Since Madam Huo wants to see me, why don't we talk alone?"
"Okay~" Huo Feng's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Let's go," Lin Chen reminded her, "Oh, right Bing'er Yue'er, your mother is here too, she's in the last secondary fortress now."
"Really?" The two girls' beautiful eyes lit up, and they immediately followed. Having not seen their mother for many years, the two girls missed her very much.
Watching everyone leave, Huo Wu crossed her arms and pouted, "There's something wrong. There's definitely something going on between Brother Chen and Mother!"
In the last secondary fortress, the top floor of the second floor...
Lin Chen stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, with a beautiful red-haired woman standing behind him. Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu women were talking on the first floor.
Ding ding ding...
"Go in~"
A moment later, Shui Ningrou came in carrying a pot of hot tea and two cups, and said softly, "Husband, Madam Huo, the tea is ready~"
"Just put it there."
After Shui Ningrou put it down, she was about to leave, but Lin Chen called out to her, "Wait, Rou'er, why don't you stay too?"
"Yes~" Shui Ningrou's heart tightened; she had already anticipated what was about to happen. This dean of the Blazing Fire Academy was clearly also her husband's person...
Lin Chen glanced at the Huo Feng beside him indifferently. "I know why you've come to see me."
Although Huo Feng was a little nervous, her fiery and direct nature prevailed. "Since you know that, why don't you give me a position? Do you just see me as a dispensable plaything?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Feng stared intently at her, while Shui Ningrou, standing to the side, began to tense up. The intelligent Shui Ningrou already understood the other woman's intention: she was jealous, and because of her...
Because of that governorship!
