Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 161: Strategy in Progress (12)

In the market, Lu's Trading Company.

Chen An slowly descended with his sword and walked into the trading company at a steady pace.

Originally, he had intended to visit Jiu Ji directly.

But on the way there, he suddenly felt that it would be better to bring a gift.

At least it could improve Jiu Ji's favorability towards him.

"Esteemed guest, truly an esteemed guest. Please, Chen Dan Shi, have a seat here."

As soon as Chen An walked in with large strides, the shopkeeper Lu inside immediately greeted him warmly.

Chen An exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then focused his attention on buying gifts, wasting no time.

After browsing for a while, he carefully selected several books about love and romance, along with six pieces of clothing and forty-one boxes of spirit cakes.

Then, he quickly left Lu's Trading Company and flew towards the cave where Jiu Ji was located.

Just as he was about to take off on his sword, he heard the sound of communication talismans being exchanged inside the trading company.

It was the sound of the shopkeeper Lu conversing with someone else.

From the conversation he overheard, it seemed that the people from the Lu family were planning to take action against the snake demon in the swamp today, in order to obtain its demon core and help the head of the Lu family break through to the later stage of the Gold Core realm.

Chen An wasn't interested in this matter, but he still paid a little attention to it.

Because on his way from Lu's Trading Company to the cave, he would pass by that swamp, and there was a certain probability of encountering the Lu family's people.

...

Thousand Leaf Forest.

Swamp.

As Chen An flew over the swamp, he deliberately spread his divine sense to sense what was happening below.

As a result, he did sense the presence of the Lu family's people.

There were more than fifty of them.

All of them were elites.

The lowest cultivation level among them was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Building realm.

As for the leader, his cultivation level was even more astonishing, reaching the ninth level of the Gold Core realm.

Chen An was puzzled.

Were there really experts at the ninth level of the Gold Core realm here in the Red Cedar Forest?

Wasn't the strongest one supposed to be the leader of the Void Kun Gang, who had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Gold Core realm?

Where did this expert at the ninth level of the Gold Core realm come from?

Chen An couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, there suddenly came the sound of panic and fleeing from below.

"Elder Wu, he... he was swallowed?!"

"Run!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"..."

Accompanied by the panicked voices from below.

Chen An saw that the expert at the ninth level of the Gold Core realm was actually swallowed in one bite by the snake demon.

The remaining Lu family members were immediately frightened and fled in a hurry.

However, it was easy to come, but not so easy to leave.

The snake demon had a huge appetite. After swallowing the expert at the ninth level of the Gold Core realm, it immediately chased after the fleeing Lu family members.

Like a greedy snake, it swallowed them one by one.

Many cultivators were swallowed before they could ascend on their swords, dying on the spot.

Seeing this scene from high above, Chen An felt a wave of shock in his heart.

This was the true world of cultivation.

Cultivators would willingly enter dangerous places and go through countless trials and tribulations in order to obtain cultivation resources.

Then, those who died, died, and those who were injured, were injured. The possibility of truly obtaining resources is almost nonexistent.

Seeing many refugees from the Lu family flying towards him on their swords, Chen An, with the idea of "better safe than sorry," immediately flew away from the swamp.

...

In front of a cave in the desolate mountains.

Chen An landed on his sword and didn't rush into the cave to find Jiu Ji.

Instead, he chopped down a tree near the entrance of the cave and created a delicate homemade wooden box on the spot.

Then, he took out a box of spirit cakes from his storage ring and poured them into the homemade wooden box.

In this way, he had a box of spirit cakes made by his own hands.

Everything was ready!

Enter the cave!

Conquer the fox demon!

Chen An walked into the cave with the box of spirit cakes in his hands and saw Jiu Ji lying on the bed, already asleep.

He sat down by the bed and admired Jiu Ji with his eyes.

Her beautiful hair was smooth and delicate, her face was slender and small, her eyelashes were long and well-groomed, there was a teardrop mole below the corner of her eye, her nose was small and high, her lips were crystal clear and tender, her skin was fair and delicate, her whole face looked pure and alluring, making people's hearts race.

Looking further down, her body was curvaceous, full where it should be, and slender where it should be.

Among them, the most captivating parts of her body were Jiu Ji's slender legs and her delicate and exquisite feet.

The purple long skirt just covered her knees, revealing a pair of straight and slender perfect legs, without a trace of excess flesh, only smooth and fair skin, arousing imagination.

Then there were her most enticing jade feet, small and delicate, with toes round and plump like grapes, making people want to put them in their mouths and eat them like grapes.

Seemingly aware that someone was sitting beside her, Jiu Ji, who was originally sleeping soundly on the bed, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

When she saw someone sitting by the bed, she couldn't help but be startled.

But soon, she realized that it was Chen An sitting by the bed.

"Young master, how did you sneak in and sit by my bed without me noticing? It scared me."

Jiu Ji covered her slightly accelerated heartbeat and looked at Chen An with a hint of blame.

Her hands and feet were now shackled by seashell cuffs, her spiritual power had been completely drained, and her body was always in a weak state. As a result, her consciousness and sensory perception were affected, making it difficult to perceive someone approaching.

The reason she was able to wake up now was due to the inherent danger perception of living beings.

Facing Jiu Ji's blame, Chen An just smiled lightly and handed her the box of spirit cakes, saying, "These are spirit cakes I made myself. I brought them specifically for you to taste."

"Young master can also make pastries?"

"A little bit. I'm not sure if they suit your taste."

"Then let me taste them."

Jiu Ji took the wooden box handed to her by Chen An, and as her gaze fell on the lid of the box, she had the thought to open it with her mind. But the lid didn't move at all.

She forgot that she had no spiritual power in her body now.

After realizing this, she couldn't wait to open the lid with her hands, looking at the colorful spirit cakes inside, she picked up a purple piece and put it to her mouth, biting into it expectantly.

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

Jiu Ji's eyes lit up as she praised.

Chen An smiled warmly and said, "If you like it, I'll make more for you when I make pastries for my wife and daughter in the future."

"That's great!"

Jiu Ji nodded while eating the spirit cakes.

Afterwards, she said somewhat incredulously, "Young master is really a good husband. He even takes the initiative to make food for his wife and daughter, completely different from other human male cultivators."

"It's not that big of a deal." Chen An smiled and replied.

Jiu Ji didn't respond further and continued to eat the spirit cakes in her hands, not swallowing one before eating another, as if she hadn't eaten for several days, just like the silly second daughter Chen Yike.

When Jiu Ji finished eating the spirit cakes, Chen An's gaze fell on the several storybooks placed on the bedside table, and he asked Jiu Ji, "Have you finished reading those books?"

"Yes, I've finished reading them."

Jiu Ji's face blushed slightly.

She recalled the descriptions of human reproduction in the book and felt very embarrassed.

Chen An didn't mention her embarrassment, but instead had a thought and took out a few books about love and intimacy from his storage ring. He calmly handed them to her and said, "These are new books I bought for you to read. Once you finish them, I'll buy you newer ones."

"Are they the same as the three books last time?"

Jiu Ji reached out and took the books, and a blush appeared on her pure and innocent face.

Chen An nodded and said, "Yes, they are the same as those three books. If you don't like them, I can buy you others."

"No need, I quite enjoy reading them."

Jiu Ji's voice sounded lighter than before, with a hint of shyness.

After saying that, she curiously asked, "Master, are the contents in the books true?"

Chen An was surprised, thinking, "You're a fox spirit, don't you know about love and intimacy?"

After silently complaining in his mind, he answered, "Yes, they are true. You were born in this world because your father and mother did the things mentioned in the book."

In the following time,

The two of them talked more and more, becoming more open in their conversations.

Jiu Ji no longer felt embarrassed like she did at the beginning. Instead, she became curious and asked Chen An about the details of love and intimacy, showing great interest in the matter.

Chen An, who already had four wives, naturally spoke without reservation about such things.

As a young fox spirit, Jiu Ji blushed and felt her body heating up as she listened, unable to look into Chen An's eyes. However, she was also filled with curiosity about love and intimacy.

Time passed quickly.

When they finished discussing this topic, it was already pitch black outside the cave.

Chen An belatedly realized this and immediately checked the voice transmission talisman in his storage ring.

This was quite a sight, as it was filled with voice messages from his wives.

Without minding Jiu Ji's presence, he let the voices play out.

Song Huaying: "Husband, it's late. When will you come back?"

Gu Xinyue: "Husband, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyike are hungry. We won't wait for you to have dinner."

Wen Zhiyun: "Chen, did you die on that fox demon's bed?"

Shen Qingyi: "Husband, when do you plan to come back? We're all worried."

Wen Zhiyun: "Chen, where are you?"

Wen Zhiyun: "Can you hear me?"

Song Huaying: "Husband?"

Song Huaying: "Husband, don't scare me. Please reply to our voice messages."

"..."

After listening to these messages from his wives, Chen An immediately realized that something was wrong. He had made his wives worry.

Without hesitation, he quickly sent a voice message to his wives, saying, "When I passed by the swamp during the day, I accidentally got entangled by a snake demon there. I just managed to escape. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice transmission talisman trembled continuously.

Song Huaying: "Husband, as long as you're safe."

Gu Xinyue: "Husband, I'll go to the kitchen and heat up your meal."

Wen Zhiyun: "Why do you always encounter trouble when you go out? Try to stay out of trouble in the future."

Shen Qingyi: "Husband, be safe on your way back."

Chen An: "You all worried me. It's already late, so everyone should rest early. I'll be home soon."

Chen An: "By the way, Yue'er, I'm not hungry, so you don't need to heat up the meal. Go to sleep early."

After sending these two messages to his wives, Chen An put the voice transmission talisman back into his storage ring.

Seeing this, Jiu Ji couldn't help but raise her delicate and beautiful eyebrows and said, "Grandma was right, men are all masters of lies and can't be relied upon."

"That's other men. I'm different. Even though I lie, they are all well-intentioned lies, all to prevent my wives from worrying."

After leaving these words behind, Chen An took out his flying sword and flew away from the cave, heading towards home.

Jiu Ji reluctantly watched his gradually fading figure, already looking forward to his next arrival.

...

Qian Hua Lin.

Inside the tunnel.

When Chen An returned home, it was quiet inside, with the sound of a pin dropping.

It was already late, and his wife and daughters were all asleep.

However, there was a figure in the hall.

It was the figure of his young wife.

But at this moment, his young wife was already exhausted and had fallen asleep on the table, completely unaware that he had come back.

Chen An felt a little guilty.

Then, with a thought, he suspended his young wife in the air and sent her back to the room to lie down on the bed.

Afterwards, he took out the clothes he had obtained during the day from the storage ring, picked a peach-colored long skirt, and placed it on her bed.

Then, following the same routine, he entered the rooms of his other three wives and two daughters, took out the gifts he had bought for them during the day, and placed them by their bedside.

Waiting for them to wake up tomorrow and give them a big surprise.

After finishing all this.

Chen An returned to his own room and sat on the bed to cultivate when he had nothing else to do.

"Husband, are you cultivating?"

After who knows how long he had been cultivating, the voice of his young wife, Song Huaying, suddenly came from outside the door.

Chen An replied, "Hmm, I'm cultivating."

"Can I come in?"

"Come in."

With a thought, Chen An opened the door from a distance.

Then, what came into his sight was Song Huaying standing outside the door, wearing the peach-colored long skirt he had bought during the day, looking beautiful and elegant.

"Husband, you're so rude. You came back and didn't even wake me up."

Song Huaying walked lightly to Chen An's side, slightly pouting her rosy lips, sounding a little unhappy.

Chen An gently took her small hand and pulled her to sit on his lap, smiling as he explained,

"I saw you sleeping so soundly on the table, so I couldn't bear to wake you up."

"You still have the nerve to say that. If you didn't come back so late, would I have fallen asleep on the table?"

Song Huaying looked like she was going to scold him, but she didn't actually mean to blame Chen An. Instead, she felt sweet in her heart.

After saying that, she got off Chen An and took two steps back, holding the sides of her skirt with both hands, and gracefully spun in place like a fairy. After spinning, she asked,

"Husband, do I look good in this dress?"

"You look especially beautiful in it!"

Chen An sincerely praised her.

Song Huaying then asked, "Then, husband, who is more beautiful, me or that fox demon?"

"She's not even half as beautiful as you."

Chen An lied to his young wife.

But regardless of whether it was true or not, she felt happy listening to it.

With a face full of sweetness, she walked slowly to Chen An's side, sat on his lap with her body slightly tilted, raised her slender jade hand to hold his neck, and said in a sweet voice,

"Husband, no matter how many concubines you take, I will always support you, as long as you love me the same."

"No matter when, the person I love the most has always been you, Ying'er."

"Husband, you're just good with words."

"Whether I'm good or not, why don't you try and find out?"

After saying that, Chen An took off his young wife's embroidered shoes and white socks, took off her peach-colored long skirt and pink bellyband, and embraced her as they fell onto the bed, deepening their marital bond.
