Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 133: Desperate Situation! (12)

Time flew by.

In the next half month, Chen An and his wives and daughters did not take a single step out of the underground tunnel.

They stayed quietly in the tunnel, seeking refuge.

During this period, his wives and daughters were very sensible and did not voice any objections.

Especially the two young daughters, they never clamored to go out.

They were very well-behaved.

As the head of the family, besides his daily cultivation and alchemy, Chen An spent most of his time being affectionate with his wives and concubines, or playing with his two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, was very playful. She would pester him every day to play various games or listen to stories.

The second daughter followed along with a silly expression, neither crying nor making a fuss, nor laughing.

On this day.

Late at night.

Chen An was in the room, being affectionate with Shen Qingyi. After they finished, he embraced Shen Qingyi's fragrant shoulder and softly asked, "Qingyi, how about we have a child?"

"No, I still don't want to," Shen Qingyi refused without hesitation.

Chen An propped himself up, leaning over Shen Qingyi who was lying flat on the bed, and looked down at her with his eyes fixed on her, saying, "Qingyi, you clearly like children, why don't you have one yourself?"

"My personality is not suitable. I like freedom and don't like being tied down by children. I want to do whatever I like on my own," Shen Qingyi said what she thought in her heart without finding any nonexistent excuses.

Chen An felt a little disappointed, but he didn't insist and tried to respect Shen Qingyi's wishes as much as possible.

Shen Qingyi noticed Chen An's disappointment and took the initiative to raise her hand to embrace his neck, her eyes filled with deep affection and guilt as she said, "I just don't want to now. If I change my mind one day, I will let you know first."

"Alright."

Chen An smiled and then said, "Since we still have time now, let's continue."

"Mm."

Shen Qingyi's voice was gentle.

On this night, in order to take care of Chen An's newly emerged sense of loss, she became more proactive than ever before.

As long as they didn't have children.

For everything else, Chen An could do as he pleased.

Happy times always passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

The next day arrived.

Chen An got up early and found a spot with good air circulation to meditate and cultivate.

As for alchemy, he couldn't do it for now because he didn't have the materials and the alchemy room.

"Husband, we've run out of water at home."

Just as he had just sat down and hadn't been cultivating for long, Gu Xinyue came over with a worried expression and said.

Chen An smiled after hearing this and said, "It's okay, I'll go outside and fetch some water."

"Husband, please be careful."

Gu Xinyue said with concern.

Now there are monsters everywhere outside, and the lowest level ones are Foundation Building Great Demons. It's hard not to worry.

Chen An got up and touched her head, giving her a reassuring look, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. If there's anything, we'll contact each other with the voice transmission talisman."

After saying that, Chen An kissed her on the face and turned around to leave the tunnel and go to the surface.

Shen Qingyi saw this and walked up, saying, "Husband, I'll go with you."

"No need, you stay and take care of the house. After I leave, there will only be you, a Foundation Building cultivator, left at home. You have to protect them."

"Alright then."

"Well, I'm leaving. Contact me with the voice transmission talisman if there's anything."

After leaving these words, Chen An quickly left the tunnel and arrived on the surface that he had been separated from for a long time.

At this moment, the surface was a mess wherever the eyes could see.

Originally, it was just a house with a hole in the roof, but now it has completely collapsed, with debris and broken beams everywhere.

The vegetable garden, chicken coop, and pond in the courtyard have also been destroyed beyond recognition.

At first glance, there are only pockmarked giant beast footprints everywhere.

"It seems that this tunnel was dug correctly."

Chen An felt fortunate that he had made a wise choice half a month ago.

Then, he quickly had the idea to take out the flying boat sword, lightly leaped onto it, and flew up into the sky.

He hadn't lived in Hundred Herbs Lane for long, and he rarely went out, so he wasn't very familiar with the terrain here.

If he wanted to find a water source, he had to rely on himself to overlook it from the sky.

After a careful observation.

Chen An found that there were many more monsters on the ground than he had imagined.

But he didn't pay too much attention to them.

He continued to search for a water source earnestly.

Before long, he found a quiet stream flowing in a forest several miles away from the south alley.

"Found water!"

Chen An was overjoyed and immediately flew over on his sword without hesitation.

He stopped by the stream.

The water was unexpectedly clear.

Chen An didn't think too much and directly took out an empty storage bag, and with a thought, he collected tens of cubic meters of water from the stream.

There were a total of seven people in the family, and as long as they used it sparingly, it could last for at least two to three days.

"Hmm?"

Chen An was about to leave when he suddenly saw a large and fat spirit fish floating by the river not far away.

It was as thick as a water bucket.

Its belly was slightly turning.

It was barely floating on the water's surface, as if it was on the verge of death.

It looked like it was old and about to die.

Chen An felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, as if he had encountered water ghosts from some mythical stories in his previous life.

The favorite trick of these water ghosts was to transform into fish floating on the water's surface, luring people on the shore to go fishing.

Then, they would pull the person underwater and drown them.

Thinking about it, Chen An opened his spiritual awareness and saw through the entire stream in front of him.

Sure enough, it was as he had expected.

What was floating on the river surface was not a spirit fish, but a Foundation Building water demon that looked like a monkey.

"Puff!"

Chen An directly released a Golden Light Projection, killing the water demon with one strike.

Immediately, he activated his spiritual power and sucked the water demon's body from the river surface into his hand.

The water demon was very small, basically skin and bones, with no flesh at all.

Even if there was flesh, it would be poisonous and not suitable for consumption.

But Chen An didn't mind.

If he wanted to eat monster meat, he could hunt other monsters.

What he was interested in now was the water demon's demon core.

Soon, he took out a light blue spherical core the size of a walnut from near the water demon's heart.

It was very round.

Holding it in his hand, he felt a slight coolness.

It could be used as an air conditioner in the summer.

After examining the demon core in his hand, Chen An had the thought to put it into the storage bag.

Without further ado, he took out the flying boat sword and was about to go home.

And just at this moment!

A large group of bird demons suddenly appeared in the sky.

Hovering in the sky.

Their cultivation is not weaker than Foundation Building.

Some even reached Gold Core.

These bird demons hovered for a while before gradually diving down to the ground.

After a moment, they flapped their wings and soared back into the sky.

Unlike before, most of these bird demons now had human cultivators in their claws.

Taking a closer look.

Out of these human cultivators, eight out of ten were brutally killed, with their bodies torn apart.

The few who were still alive were screaming in terror.

However, they didn't live for long and were quickly killed by the bird demons' claws.

"Under the current circumstances, it's impossible to fly with a flying sword."

"We can only walk back home."

"It might take a bit longer, but we have to inform our wives and concubines at home."

Chen An thought about taking out a voice transmission talisman to contact his wife, Shen Qingyi, and let her know that he might be late coming home.

Shen Qingyi asked him what happened, and he didn't hide anything, directly explaining the situation.

He said that the sky was filled with bird demons, making it impossible to fly with a flying sword and that they could only walk back home.

After understanding the situation, Shen Qingyi told him to prioritize his safety and not rush back home.

After a brief exchange, Chen An put away the voice transmission talisman and chose to pass through a dense forest ahead to go home.

The plants in the forest were dense, and walking inside could effectively resist the bird demons' hunting.

But when he entered the forest and saw groups of tree demons, he was completely stunned.

Where did these tree demons come from in Hundred Herbs Lane?

Weren't all the monsters that fell from the sky yesterday demonic beasts?

"Swish!"

"Swish... swish... swish!"

"Swish!"

The tree demons saw Chen An and all of them uprooted themselves, waving their vines like moths to a flame, rushing towards Chen An.

Chen An sensed the cultivation of the group of tree demons.

The lowest was at the Foundation Building level.

But the highest was also at the Foundation Building level.

It turned out to be a group of weaklings.

Why run away then?

Just directly deal with them!

Chen An understood the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In the next moment, strands of dan fire emerged from his fingertips, directly setting the forest on fire.

After a moment, the originally swarming and ferocious group of tree demons were instantly burned into charcoal by the dan fire, losing all signs of life.

Chen An didn't waste any time and immediately went up to extract the demon cores from the remains of the tree demons.

The tree demon cores contained a large amount of wood essence.

Coincidentally, his wife had the bloodline of a flower goddess, and she also had a wood attribute demon core in her body, equivalent to the wood spiritual root of a human cultivator. She could absorb these tree demon cores to nourish her own demon core.

In just a moment, Chen An extracted all the tree demon cores and stored them in his storage bag.

"This monster disaster is a disaster for the low-level Independent Cultivators in Hundred Herbs Lane."

"But for cultivators like me at the Foundation Building level and above, it is both a risk and an opportunity."

"Because with more monsters, there are more resources."

Chen An thought to himself and quickly left the area.

The place had just been ravaged by the dan fire, and there was still smoke rising, which could easily attract the attention of others or monsters. It was better to leave quickly.

However!

Before Chen An could walk a few meters, a large group of cultivators suddenly rushed out from the nearby forest.

There were both men and women.

All of them had a cultivation level of Foundation Building or above.

The leading old man had a cultivation level that reached the Gold Core realm.

Chen An quickly assessed the group of cultivators.

The clothes they were wearing were embroidered with the words "Black Wind."

These are not people from the Crimson Fire Gang.

They seem to be from the Black Wind Gang.

Chen An was puzzled.

Isn't Hundred Herbs Lane the territory of the Crimson Fire Gang?

Why are there so many people from the Black Wind Gang here?

On the other side, the Gold Core old man glanced at the remains of the tree demon in front of him, then his gaze fell on Chen An.

Seeing that Chen An was alone, the Gold Core old man smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, hand over the tree demon core you just collected, and I can spare you..."

But before he could finish speaking, Chen An turned around and ran without saying a word.

He ran fast, without even looking back.

Hand over the demon core and spare my life?

Who would believe that? Who's the idiot?

In this situation, any Rogue Cultivator would kill to cover up their tracks. How could they leave behind any potential threats?

Behind him, the people from the Black Wind Gang were dumbfounded.

Damn, he ran away?

After a moment of reaction, the leading Gold Core old man's face turned dark.

"Chase!"

The next second, the people from the Black Wind Gang immediately chased after Chen An.

The leader of the Black Wind Gang practiced the Wind Movement Technique, and everyone in the gang had excellent footwork.

But after a moment, they caught up with Chen An, who had been running all the way, and surrounded him.

"I was also attracted by the thick smoke. I didn't kill those tree demons."

Chen An knew he couldn't escape, so he suppressed all his aura while calmly speaking.

The Gold Core old man didn't believe him and looked at a female cultivator beside him.

"Jianjia, I sensed his cultivation level earlier. He's only at the seventh level of Foundation Building, while you're at the sixth level. But you have outstanding talent. Kill him across levels for me."

"Yes, Master!"

The beautiful female cultivator named Jianjia responded crisply and immediately drew her sword, charging towards Chen An.

She was the future successor of the Black Wind Gang's elder position.

However, many people in the gang didn't accept her.

And now, she was going to perform a scene of killing across levels to demonstrate her talent and make those around her acknowledge her.

"Buzz!"

Only a sonic boom was heard.

The female cultivator's figure instantly turned into an afterimage, killing Chen An at a speed invisible to the naked eye, aiming directly for his head.

She wanted to kill Chen An with a single blow!

"Swish!"

In the next instant, only a smooth sound of flesh being cut was heard.

A head rolled down.

It fell heavily to the ground.

Making a dull "thud" sound.

The female cultivator was dead.

In the moment she rushed towards Chen An, she was beheaded by Chen An's light sword.

Her body and head separated, life lost.

At this moment, the entire forest fell into silence.

The members of the Black Wind Gang present were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
