Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 151: Capturing the Fox (12)

This bird is so big!

Chen An looked at the giant bird flying towards him at high speed, feeling nervous involuntarily.

This is the innate fear that humans have when facing giants.

Soon, Chen An calmed down.

He gathered his consciousness on the giant bird, trying to perceive its cultivation level.

In the next moment, the words "Gold Core, 90% completion" appeared in his mind.

This is a terrifying monster with strength approaching the Nascent Soul stage!

After a few breaths.

The woman in the purple dress controlled the giant bird to fly above Chen An's head, standing on the bird's head and looking down at Chen An condescendingly.

This time, she didn't waste time with meaningless words like before, but directly gave orders to the giant bird beneath her.

"Take him down!"

The "him" she referred to was Chen An below.

Upon receiving the command, the giant bird immediately flapped its wings that covered the sky, creating a powerful airflow to blow him away.

Feeling the terrifying airflow, Chen An didn't dare to resist head-on. Instead, he moved his mind and used the Shadow Killing Technique to instantly appear behind the woman in the purple dress on the bird's head.

Then, he unleashed a Deliberate Punch, fiercely smashing towards the woman's head.

However!

Just as Chen An threw the punch, countless luminous feathers suddenly rose around the woman in the purple dress, forming a solid shield that protected her from all angles.

"Boom!"

With a sound, Chen An's fist heavily hit the feathers of the giant bird, but it couldn't penetrate them. Instead, his own finger bones were shattered, causing intense pain.

The feathers of this giant bird were too tough.

Using only fists couldn't break through its defense.

Deliberate Punch can ignore defensive measures, but the actual damage it can cause depends on the user's own strength.

And Chen An's current strength was obviously unable to harm this giant bird, whose cultivation level was approaching the Nascent Soul stage.

The physical body of this giant bird was too powerful, something that a cultivator like him, who only had a Gold Core cultivation level, couldn't handle.

"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz!"

Suddenly, countless feathers on the giant bird rose into the sky.

These feathers were like sharp arrows, shooting towards Chen An.

Chen An reacted quickly and started retreating the moment the feathers shot into the sky.

Unfortunately, the feathers were too fast and numerous.

Although he tried his best to dodge, one feather still hit his shoulder.

With a "pu" sound!

His shoulder was instantly pierced.

Blood splattered.

Bones turned into powder.

Chen An gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain in his shoulder. He moved his mind and took out a large Huan Dan, swallowing it.

Then, the injured shoulder instantly healed, returning to its original state without any trace of injury.

"You're finished today!"

"No one can save you!"

"I will repay a hundredfold for the inhuman suffering I endured that day!"

From within the feather wall on the bird's head, the angry and triumphant voice of the woman in the purple dress resounded.

Chen An didn't have time to pay attention to her. He was busy dodging the continuous barrage of feathers.

The giant bird couldn't attack.

The fox demon couldn't harm him.

Escape was impossible.

No, this won't work!

If this continues, I will eventually be shot to death!

I need to seek a change!

Chen An was anxious, but not panicked. His mind was quickly spinning.

At this moment, he noticed a pink heart appearing in the pupils of the giant bird.

This proved that the giant bird was charmed by the fox demon.

The Sage's Art!

I can try using the Sage's Art on the giant bird!

With this thought, Chen An flew to the head of the giant bird and used the Sage's Art on it at close range.

In the next moment, the giant bird, which had been turned into a puppet by the fox demon, instantly lost the heart-shaped pupils.

The charm was broken!

The giant bird gradually regained consciousness, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, its eyes filled with confusion.

Soon, it noticed the woman on its head, smelled the unique aura of a fox demon, and instantly realized that it had just been charmed by the woman in the purple dress who seemed to be a fox demon. It became extremely angry.

It immediately retracted the feathers that were protecting the woman in the purple dress, shaking her off like shaking off ants. Then, it fiercely swiped its claw towards her.

The woman in the purple dress was still puzzled as to why her charm suddenly failed, but in the next moment, she was attacked by a claw and exploded in the air, turning into fur and a lifeless tail that slowly floated down.

At the same time, the barrier created by the Heaven and Earth Imprisonment Talisman in front of her also disappeared without a trace.

Chen An immediately flew away on his sword to escape, so as not to incur the wrath of the giant bird.

Fortunately, the giant bird did not pay him any attention. After killing the woman in the purple dress, it quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

Watching the giant bird's gradually disappearing figure, Chen An felt a wave of fear in his heart.

Fortunately, he could release the Sage's Art to the outside world.

Otherwise, even if he didn't die today, he would have at least lost a layer of skin.

At this moment, there was a tremor from the voice transmission talisman in his storage bag.

Someone was sending a voice transmission.

Chen An had a thought and took out a listening device. It was a voice transmission from his wives at home.

"Husband, why haven't you come back so late?" It was the voice of his young wife, Song Huaying, filled with worry.

Chen An replied, "I encountered some trouble on the way back today, which delayed me a bit. But I'm on my way back now, and I'll be home in about fifteen minutes."

"Husband, what happened to you?" This time it was Gu Xinyue's voice, sounding even more worried than Song Huaying. "Did you encounter that fox demon again?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I get back," Chen An said calmly.

Gu Xinyue said, "Okay, husband, be safe on your way back."

Chen An replied, "Okay, I won't say anymore. See you at home later."

...

Hundred Herbs Lane.

Inside the tunnel.

When Chen An walked down, his wives were already sitting in the hall waiting for him.

The wives were waiting for the person they loved to come back, while the two daughters were waiting for the spirit cakes he had bought to come back.

"Husband, have some water." Gu Xinyue, who was more sensible, stood up as soon as Chen An came in and handed him a cup of cool well water that had been poured in advance.

Chen An took the bamboo tube and drank it all in one go, showing a satisfied expression of relief from thirst on his face.

This satisfied expression was deliberately shown to Gu Xinyue, because with his current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to feel thirsty.

"Daddy, did you buy the spirit cakes?"

"Daddy, I want to eat spirit cakes!"

The two daughters approached Chen An, looking up at him with expectant faces.

Among them, the silly second daughter, Chen Yike, was drooling and clearly a little foodie.

Wen Zhiyun couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them aloud:

"You two little brats, your father just came back from outside. As daughters, you should have pulled out chairs for your father to sit and rest, and then poured him some water to drink!"

"Where have you seen anyone like you two, demanding to eat as soon as you come in!"

"You really have no sense of propriety!"

Wen Zhiyun's tone was very stern, and the two young daughters immediately became silent, nodding their heads obediently and not daring to speak.

Song Huaying added, "That's right, you two girls are so thoughtless, your father and I won't dote on you anymore."

"Mother, I'm sorry, please don't stop doting on me!"

Chen Yuejian panicked and quickly ran to Song Huaying, hugging her leg and looking up with a pitiful face.

Chen Yike looked rather foolish, shrinking in place and not daring to speak.

It seemed like she was afraid of saying or doing anything wrong.

Or perhaps she didn't dare to act spoiled towards her stern mother.

As the father, Chen An also felt that his two daughters were not considerate enough, so he didn't rush to give them the sweet cakes to eat.

Instead, he took out colorful clothes from a storage bag and first gave gifts to his wives.

Seeing the bright and beautiful clothes in front of them, the eyes of his wives sparkled with delight.

Clearly, they liked these clothes very much.

However, despite their liking, Wen Zhiyun still said to Chen An, "Husband, we've already said not to waste money on buying gifts for us, so why did you still buy them?"

"I didn't buy them, they were given as a gift when I bought the prescription."

"Given as a gift?"

Wen Zhiyun elegantly flipped through the silver and said with a dissatisfied tone, "You might as well say you found them, that would be more convincing."

Chen An was also speechless and explained, "I bought twenty copies of the third-grade pill prescription at the shop. The shopkeeper gave me two extra prescriptions, over ten pieces of clothing, and nearly a hundred boxes of sweet cakes as a bonus."

Sweet cakes!

When Chen Yike heard these two words, her big, watery eyes instantly lit up.

She wanted to run over and reach out to hug Chen An's thigh, looking up and shouting, "Dad, I want to eat sweet cakes!"

But with her stern mother standing by, she didn't dare to make any move, afraid of being scolded or beaten.

Wen Zhiyun looked skeptical and said, "Husband, are you telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Chen An couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters and placed all the clothes on the table.

Then, he said to his wives and daughters, "There are twelve pieces of clothing in total. Xiaoyuejian and Xiaoyike each have two. You can discuss among yourselves and choose."

"No need to choose, these clothes can be shared among me and the three sisters. This way, each of us will have eight new clothes to wear," Song Huaying said.

Wen Zhiyun smiled and said, "Yinger is indeed clever."

At this moment, Shen Qingyi, who had been silent all along, spoke up and asked, "Husband, you mentioned in the voice transmission talisman earlier that you encountered some incidents on your way back and forth. What exactly happened?"

"Oh, here's what happened..." Chen An roughly recounted the events, including encountering members of the Xu Kun Gang on the way there and encountering a fox demon on the way back, explaining everything in detail.

After a moment of listening, Shen Qingyi's delicate and beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, expressing some concern. She said, "Husband, that fox demon was able to escape with its tail cut off and then come back again. Isn't that a bit troublesome?"

"While it's true that the fox demon doesn't pose much of a threat to you now, I'm worried that accidents might happen if it continues to happen frequently," Shen Qingyi reasoned.

Chen An nodded in agreement and said, "That is indeed a hidden danger, but I have full confidence in passing the test of the Dan Hall in the Heaven and Earth Sect."

"When the time comes, our family can move to the Heaven and Earth Sect and settle down, without having to worry about being harassed by that fox demon."

After a few more discussions, the topic of the fox demon was basically skipped.

The gazes of the wives and concubines returned to the beautiful clothes on the table.

When they saw styles that suited them, they directly took off their clothes and changed into them. After all, there was only one man in the family, Chen An, and the rest were sisters and daughters, so they could undress however they pleased. Even if they didn't feel ashamed, it didn't matter if they walked around the tunnel naked all day.

While the wives and concubines were trying on clothes, Chen An was on the side giving his two daughters some spirit cakes. Although the second daughter, Chen Yike, had a much bigger appetite than the eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, Chen An divided the cakes equally. Each daughter received forty boxes, and there was one box left.

It was a box of Tianxue Fruit-flavored spirit cakes. They had a refreshing taste and a sweet flavor. It was the most delicious box among the eighty-one boxes of spirit cakes. At the same time, it was also the most expensive box. Both daughters had eaten it before and liked it very much. There were a total of seven pieces of Tianxue Fruit spirit cakes in the box, just enough for each family member to have one piece, so they divided it equally.

When the second daughter, Chen Yike, got the Tianxue Fruit spirit cake, she didn't hesitate and took two or three bites, finishing it quickly. Her small round face was filled with satisfaction. In contrast, the eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, liked to save the delicious ones for last. She put the Tianxue Fruit spirit cake away and planned to enjoy its deliciousness after finishing the other spirit cakes.

Soon, the day came to an end.

In the following days, Chen An did not leave the tunnel once. Apart from being intimate with his wives and playing with his daughters, he spent most of his time studying the alchemy of third-grade pills in the alchemy room. With the experience of refining third-grade pills before, he became much more efficient in learning to refine them this time. He could basically learn to refine a new kind of third-grade pill every day.

On this day, while Chen An was studying the twelfth new kind of third-grade pill in the alchemy room, a commotion suddenly came from Wen Zhiyun's room next door.

"Tell me, did you steal my Tianxue Fruit spirit cake?"

"N-no, I didn't, please don't accuse me!"

"It must be you who stole it!"

"I didn't steal it!!!"

Listening to the argument between his two daughters, Chen An worried that they would start fighting, so he got up and went to see what was happening.

After a while, when he entered Wen Zhiyun's room, Chen An saw his eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, blocking his second daughter, Chen Yike, in the corner of the wall, accusing her of stealing her Tianxue Fruit spirit cake.

"Daddy, sister is bullying me!"

Seeing Chen An come in, Chen Yike immediately squatted down and slipped under her sister Chen Yuejian's legs, running behind Chen An to seek refuge.

Chen Yuejian followed closely behind and ran over, angrily reporting, "Daddy, Xiaoyike stole my Tianxue Fruit spirit cake!"

"I didn't!" Chen Yike's voice was very loud.

Chen Yuejian pointed to the crumbs of spirit cake on the corner of her mouth and asked loudly, "The spirit cakes that Daddy gave you, you finished them all on the same day. It's been more than ten days since then, so how come there are crumbs on your mouth now?!"

After hearing her sister Chen Yuejian's analysis, Chen Yike's face immediately changed color. Damn, why is her sister so smart?!

Then, she quickly wiped off the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and quickly stuffed them into her mouth, not wasting any, and denied, "There are no crumbs on the corner of my mouth!"

"Don't falsely accuse me!"

Seeing such blatant sophistry, Chen Yuejian couldn't take it anymore and was about to hit Chen Yike. Although she couldn't beat Chen Yike, she had the upper hand now and could ask her father to help.

"Mother!"

"Sister is hitting me!"

"Ah ah ah..."

Seeing the situation was not good, it seemed like my father was taking my sister's side. Chen Yike made a decisive choice and used an ancient forbidden technique - the Summoning Technique of the Great Mother.

Soon, Wen Zhiyun heard the noise and walked in with a stern face, saying, "What are you two causing a commotion about again? Can you please be quiet?"

Upon hearing this, both daughters dared not continue their quarrel and quieted down.

"Wen Niang, Xiaoyi Ke stole my Tianxue Fruit Spirit Fruit."

Chen Yuejian couldn't swallow this grievance and complained to Wen Zhiyun with a pitiful face.

Wen Zhiyun immediately looked at the silly daughter hiding behind Chen An and asked sternly, "Chen Yike, did you steal your sister's spiritual cake?"

"Wo, wo..."

Chen Yike wanted to argue, but under the fierce gaze of her mother, she instinctively backed down. She didn't dare to lie in front of her mother, fearing that she would be exposed and beaten.

Seeing the hesitant response from her silly daughter, Wen Zhiyun already knew the result in her heart.

Her face immediately turned cold. She pulled Chen Yike out from behind Chen An and pressed her over her thigh, raising her hand and giving Chen Yike's little bottom a series of hard slaps!

"Smack! Smack! Smack..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

In an instant, the room was filled with crisp slapping sounds and Chen Yike's pitiful cries, sounding as if a pig was being slaughtered.

Chen Yike had suffered a backlash from using the ancient forbidden technique. She was being attacked by the summon she had summoned herself.

Watching this scene in the room, Chen An couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Then, he quickly left the room and returned to the alchemy room to continue studying the refining of third-grade pills.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Chen An successfully learned all twenty-two third-grade pill formulas he had bought, and in the past three days, he had thoroughly understood and mastered them, reaching a high level of proficiency.

"In just about a month, I have learned the refining of twenty-two different types of third-grade pills. This efficiency is really good."

"Yes, it's time to go to the market and buy new third-grade pill formulas to study."

"We also need to buy some medicinal materials. Our previous stock is almost depleted."

"But it's already late now, let's wait until tomorrow to go."

"It seems like it's my turn to accompany Qingyi to sleep today. It's almost time to go."

With that in mind, Chen An got up and went to Shen Qingyi's room to play a role-playing game of a female warrior and a thief, adding some spice to their marriage.

After about three hours...

[Swordsmanship +3, Golden Spirit Root Aptitude +3] x36

"Husband, can you please stop saying such vulgar words in the future? I feel embarrassed listening to them."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

"Well then."

Shen Qingyi was somewhat unwilling in her heart, but in the end, she chose to accommodate Chen An.

Before long, Shen Qingyi fell asleep.

She hadn't slept for almost half a month, and it was time to replenish her sleep.

Meanwhile, Chen An, who was holding her, was full of energy.

He wanted to continue being intimate with his wives in bed, but all four of them were already asleep.

He wanted to refine elixirs, but he had run out of the materials needed for refining.

He wanted to cultivate using spiritual stones, but he only had a few left in his pocket, which he needed to save to buy the formula for third-grade elixirs.

"Forget it, since I'm just idle in the underground passage anyway, I might as well go to the market and sell something for money, and then buy some third-grade elixir formulas to study and refine," Chen An thought.

With that in mind, Chen An brought paper and pen to leave a message for his sleeping wives, saying that he was going to the market.

Then, he quickly left the underground passage.

Just as he was about to fly away on his sword after leaving the underground passage, Chen An's face suddenly changed.

He saw a familiar figure not far ahead.

It was none other than the woman in the purple dress!

Chen An took a closer look and found that the woman in the purple dress was squatting around the underground passage, drawing and pasting talismans on the ground, which were covered in various ancient runes.

It seemed like she was setting up some kind of formation.

Seeing this scene, Chen An instantly felt a chill and fear in his heart.

This fox demon knows that I live in the underground passage!

The formation she is setting up now is targeting me!

I can't stay in this underground passage anymore!

And I must find a way to deal with this fox demon!

She will escape by cutting off her tail, so I can't just kill her like before!

Imprisonment!

I must imprison her!

Restrict her freedom!

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Chen An's mind, and he finally came up with a solution.

After having this idea, he immediately used the Sage's Art on himself, allowing himself to enter the Sage mode, immune to charm spells.

Then, under the faint moonlight, he silently approached the woman in the purple dress from behind, using the Shadow Killing Technique along the shadows of the grass and trees.
