Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 160: Sisters United (22)

Chen An had already anticipated this situation. Therefore, he remained calm and composed.

After Wen Zhiyun's emotions had calmed down a bit, he explained calmly, "The bold idea of taking the fox demon as a concubine is not because I was swayed by her beauty or charm. It is a carefully considered solution after weighing the pros and cons."

"Now you all know my current situation. I have offended the fox demon and become her enemy."

"If I could kill the fox demon, then the issue of enmity would not be a problem at all."

"But the problem is, I simply cannot kill the fox demon."

"So, I changed my thinking and considered taking her as a concubine. This way, our family would have one less enemy in the Gold Core realm and one more family member in the Gold Core realm. It's killing two birds with one stone."

Chen An briefly explained the reasons behind his actions, proving that he was not swayed by the fox demon.

Wen Zhiyun sneered and asked with a smile, "You have a beautiful imagination. The fox demon is a Gold Core cultivator. Even if she becomes your concubine, why would she be willing to marry you?"

Chen An calmly replied, "Because she is still an ignorant little fox, only eighteen years old this year. Because I am gradually winning her over step by step. Because I possess the ancient forbidden technique, Blood Essence Enslavement."

Shen Qingyi caught onto the key points of these words and furrowed her eyebrows slightly. "Husband, what kind of forbidden technique is Blood Essence Enslavement? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Before Chen An achieved the Gold Core realm, she used to study spells with him every day, teaching him all the spells she knew without reservation.

However, at this moment, she heard about this unfamiliar technique from Chen An's mouth, thinking that he had been holding back from her, which made her feel a little disappointed.

Chen An had a keen ability to observe and understand others' thoughts, so he knew that Shen Qingyi had misunderstood him.

But at the moment, he couldn't explain it to Shen Qingyi.

Because Blood Essence Enslavement originated from a reward from the system, it was difficult to explain.

Restricted by this, he decided not to explain for now.

When he came up with a good reason in the future, he would explain it to Shen Qingyi properly.

He also planned to explain the reasons behind his rapid breakthrough, so that his wives wouldn't think he was holding back and not being open enough.

After briefly considering these thoughts, Chen An gave a simple introduction to his wives about the effects of Blood Essence Enslavement. He said that this forbidden technique could control the fox demon, so they didn't need to worry about her turning against them in the future.

He also added a special note, saying that this forbidden technique was cursed and couldn't be taught to others, otherwise the curse would be triggered.

This was said specifically for Shen Qingyi to hear.

The implicit meaning was that it wasn't that he didn't want to teach her, but that this forbidden technique couldn't be taught to anyone.

After listening to Chen An's explanation, the four wives felt relieved.

Although they still didn't fully support Chen An taking the fox demon as a concubine, at least they now knew that their husband hadn't been swayed by the fox demon and was still as rational as ever.

"Husband, I think it's too risky to take the fox demon as a concubine," Shen Qingyi said after some contemplation. "Although you have Blood Essence Enslavement to restrict her, it is ultimately just a restrictive measure. It doesn't guarantee that she won't harm you, me, our three sisters, or Xiaoyue and Xiaoyi."

"And the most important point is, if we really want to become a family, then everyone's hearts must be together."

"And husband, when you took that fox demon as a concubine, it was mostly through some means that made her have no choice but to submit to you. In other words, you never truly won her heart."

Shen Qingyi's words were not without reason.

Upon hearing this, the other three wives who had already planned to compromise with their husband suddenly had objections and concerns.

Chen An saw this and didn't say much, but confidently said, "Don't worry, I have already considered all of these things you mentioned."

"If one day I really bring that fox demon home, it means that I have completely captured her heart. I can guarantee that she will genuinely want to become a part of our family."

"Alright, everyone should go and do what they need to do. While it's still light out, I'll go check on that fox demon in the cave."

"Also, in the future, when I visit the fox demon, I will try to use a leaving image stone to record the moments we spend together."

"I will bring it back for you all to see, so you can have an early understanding of what kind of person that fox demon is, and we can discuss this matter together."

After saying these words, Chen An bid a simple farewell to his wives and daughters, then flew away on his sword.

Seeing him disappear in an instant and rushing to meet the fox demon, Wen Zhiyun felt very unsettled.

Instinctively, she started to grumble.

Angry, she said, "What nonsense! Humans and demons are on different paths. How can a husband who is a human cultivator marry a fox demon? Isn't he finding life too peaceful?"

In comparison, Song Huaying, as the legal wife, took a more open-minded view.

She understood her husband very well and knew that she couldn't change his mind, so she chose to obediently support him and be a virtuous wife.

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun was really upset, she smiled and comforted her, "Wen sister, you don't need to worry so much about the matter of our husband taking a fox demon as a concubine."

"Since I awakened the bloodline of the Flower God, I have already become a demon. I understand the difference between demons and humans."

"For demons who have already taken human form, they are actually not much different from humans."

"The only difference is that humans have spiritual roots, while demons have demon cores."

"Other than that, there is no difference."

Song Huaying spoke with reason and evidence, and every word was convincing.

Shen Qingyi also said, "Yinger is right. Demons who have taken human form are, strictly speaking, individuals. They can live harmoniously with humans and even have offspring."

Gu Xinyue added, "If our husband can make that fox demon bear his child, then she will definitely be able to integrate into our family. After all, a child is something no mother can let go of."

Wen Zhiyun was initially still angry, but after hearing the words of her three sisters, she suddenly felt that they made sense, and her anger dissipated quite a bit.

After calming her emotions a little, she said to her three sisters, "Shen sister, Yue'er, Ying'er, if that fox demon with a cultivation level of mid-Gold Core stage really enters our family, we sisters must unite and not let her bully us."

"Definitely."

"Yes."

"Don't worry, with our husband here, even if that fox demon's cultivation level is higher, we don't have to be afraid of her."

The other three said successively.
