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

Hearing the name Xuanyuan Chaoge, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then used the system to identify him, and discovered that the City Lord of Great Yu City was indeed called Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Chaoge, this name...

Lu Chen thought to himself that it must be a coincidence, and then he didn't dwell on it any longer.

He glanced at Xuanyuan Yunqi, who was standing next to Xuanyuan Chaoge.

Xuanyuan Yunqi was dressed, just as she had been the last time she went to Yan County, in black and gold armor, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her pale forehead, both beautiful and imparting a sense of heroic spirit.

However, it seemed that her Favorability toward him had risen considerably.

[Name: Xuanyuan Yunqi]

[Identity: Daughter of Xuanyuan Chaoge, the Family Head of the Xuanyuan Family in Great Yu City, 23 years old this year, sister of Xuanyuan Chen, at the Master Realm. She heard you were coming to Great Yu City and went out to welcome you with her father.]

[Rating: 98]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Favorability: 60] Find more at m _v _l _e _mpyr.

The Favorability had increased, but why only by this much?

Lu Chen thought to himself, if his memory served him right, when Xuanyuan Yunqi saw him last time in Yan County, her Favorability was at 50, right? That's only a 10-point increase.

Am I, the North Prince, really doing so poorly that even virtual characters summoned by the system have only this much Favorability toward me?

Without dwelling on it any further, Lu Chen promptly walked up to Xuanyuan Chaoge, then took hold of his arms to help him up, saying, "Lord Xuanyuan, please rise!"

Continuing, Lu Chen also addressed the surrounding commoners, "Everyone, please stand."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Chaoge was the first to say, "Thank the Great King!"

Then the commoners around them also followed, saying, "Thank the Great King!"

Straight after, Xuanyuan Chaoge rose from the ground, and with a touch of excitement, he said, "Great King, you have finally arrived!"

Lu Chen could tell that Xuanyuan Chaoge was truly excited about his arrival; Xuanyuan Chaoge's body trembled with excitement, and even his eyes brimmed with tears, as if he had waited for this day for countless years. Lu Chen saw the signs of age etched onto Xuanyuan Chaoge's face.

Again, almost subconsciously, Lu Chen used the system to check Xuanyuan Chaoge's personal details.

[Name: Xuanyuan Chaoge]

[Identity: City Lord of Great Yu City, 300 years old this year, he is very happy about your arrival.]

[Strength: Grandmaster]

[Loyalty: 100]

Lu Chen was a bit stunned, a whole 300 years old!

Wait a minute, if he's 300 years old, why is his daughter Xuanyuan Yunqi only in her twenties? And his son Xuanyuan Chen is just a few decades old.

Children born in his old age?

Isn't that way too old?

Having children after over two hundred years?

That moment, Lu Chen, with a smile, said, "Lord Xuanyuan, you just let this king stand here; won't you show me around your city?"

Snapping back to reality, Xuanyuan Chaoge hurriedly replied, "Please mount your horse, Great King, your servant will lead it for you."

Lu Chen said, "No need, I'd rather walk; it's good for the health to walk more."

He then handed the horse's reins to a soldier at his side.

"Let's get going," Lu Chen said.

Seeing Lu Chen's insistence on walking, Xuanyuan Chaoge didn't say anything further. He then led Lu Chen into Great Yu City.

Upon entering Great Yu City, Lu Chen could immediately sense the city's opulence and order.

The streets of Great Yu City were very clean, although this didn't discount the possibility that they had been swept again because of his planned visit.

As Lu Chen walked through the city after entering, he noticed that the integrity of the buildings in Great Yu City was far superior to those in Yan County.

Yan County still had earthen houses, with some of the commoners' homes pitted and uneven, but it was different in Great Yu City. The homes there were all built from stone and wood, and the houses along the streets were in neat rows, looking orderly, unlike the chaotic layout of Old Yan County.

Just by the architecture of Great Yu City, one could glean that the lives of the common people there were much better than those in Old Yan County.

Great Yu City was further to the north, with longer winters that were also colder, yet the days of its commoners seemed even better than those in Yan County, enough to show how strong the leadership of City Lord Xuanyuan Chaoge must be.

At this time, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Lord Xuanyuan, may I ask your age this year?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge answered, "In response to the Great King, I am exactly 300 years old this year."

Lu Chen exclaimed, "300 years old! You have worked hard these years."

Xuanyuan Chaoge answered, "For the Great King, it is not hard work."

Afterward, Xuanyuan Chaoge took Lu Chen around Great Yu City for inspections. Come evening, Xuanyuan Chaoge arranged for Lu Chen to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, even giving him the largest hall for his residence.

Looking at the magnificent hall in front of him, Lu Chen thought to himself that the specifications of this hall were rather high.

At that moment, Xiao Wenyao, after having bathed, came to Lu Chen's side wearing a cyan, semi-transparent cicada-wing robe. She sat down next to Lu Chen, leaning into his embrace. Instead of immediately getting handsy with her or being affectionate, he glanced around the hall, then his gaze fell upon the maids of the hall.

He directly asked, "Does anyone usually live in this hall?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, the maid of the City Lord's Mansion immediately replied, "In response to the Great King, this hall has been specially prepared for you. Normally, no one resides here."

Lu Chen was taken aback, prepared for him?

Lu Chen then continued asking, "Your City Lord is already 300 years old, how come his son and daughter are only a few decades old? Do you know the reason?"

The maid answered, "In response to the Great King, the City Lord actually has many children. However, most of them have only average Martial Arts Talent and thus a lifespan of only several decades at best, so the majority have already passed away."

"The City Lord feared that he might not live to see your arrival. Therefore, he continuously tried to have more children and finally, in his two hundreds, Madam Mo bore him a son of an extremely high Martial Arts Talent, the young master Chen. Later, Madam Mo gave birth to Yunqi, and Miss Yunqi also possesses an exceptional Martial Arts Talent."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment. He had not expected that the characters the system arranged for him were already waiting for his emergence long ago.

The Dongfang Family was like this, the Wei Family was like this, the Qian Family was also like this, and the Xuanyuan Family was even more so.

300 years old...

Xuanyuan Chaoge had been waiting since birth, no wonder he was so excited to see him today.
