Lu Chen had been thinking that since Yun Xianxian had initiated contact a few months ago, all he needed to do was to hold her and whisper sweet nothings to let her off the hook, but she actually called herself his Furnace Cauldron.
He couldn't tolerate that, and in the following time, Lu Chen let Yun Xianxian realize who was whose Furnace Cauldron.
Ultimately, Yun Xianxian was the one to give in, submitting to the tyrant Lu Chen, pleading for mercy and willing to admit that she was his Furnace Cauldron.
This also made Lu Chen understand one thing: If you don't want others to know what you are doing, don't do it yourself.
Moreover, his wives and concubines were smarter than he had thought; perhaps only Zhou Youyou and Xiao Wenyao were a bit dumber and unaware of this matter, but the rest had probably discovered the secret of the Dragon Phoenix Tree long ago. They had kept it hidden in their hearts, pretending to know nothing.
