Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 175: Patriarch and Holy Maiden (12)

[Life Force +2, Spirit +2, Water Spirit Root Talent +2]

Chen An once again lovingly cherished Jiu Ji in the bushes, experiencing the taste of a 2-star couple's emotional level.

Afterwards, the two of them tidied up their loosely fitting clothes and slowly walked out of the bushes.

When Wen Zhiyun saw the two of them come out, she immediately looked displeased and gave Chen An a disdainful look, scolding him with an annoyed expression, "You're such a scoundrel, always finding ways to fool around with your wives and concubines."

Clearly, she knew what Chen An and Jiu Ji had just done in the bushes.

Her conservative nature, developed since childhood, made it difficult for her to accept such moral corruption.

On the other hand, Shen Qingyi, who was beside her, was much more open-minded. She believed that cultivators like them should be free-spirited, not caring about time or place, and simply following their hearts to do as they pleased. Their main focus was being carefree.

In response to the scolding from her jealous concubine, Chen An, who was always shameless, pretended not to hear it.

He took Jiu Ji to the center of the Cave Mansion and raised his voice a little to shout to the wives and concubines around, "Everyone, come over here. I have good news to announce."

"Husband, what good news?" Song Huaying, who was very curious, immediately used the Wood Escape Technique to come over and ask.

Her little fairy daughter followed closely behind, running over with an expectant face, urging, "Daddy, tell us the good news!"

Both mother and daughter were impatient, but Chen An didn't rush to answer.

He waited until the other wives and concubines had gathered before pulling Jiu Ji in front of him, his face full of smiles as he announced, "The good news is that Jiu Ji is pregnant."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone clearly paused for a moment.

Then, Song Huaying, who was standing in the front, exclaimed with joy, "Jiu Ji, is this true?!"

At this moment, she was extremely excited. If someone didn't know, they would think she was the one who was pregnant.

Jiu Ji blushed slightly and nodded, "Yes, it's true."

After hearing this answer, the other four wives and concubines congratulated one after another:

Gu Xinyue: "Congratulations, Jiu Ji."

Song Huaying: "Jiu Ji will become a mother soon."

Wen Zhiyun: "Jiu Ji, you must take good care of yourself during pregnancy. After ten months, I will help you deliver the baby."

Shen Qingyi: "With Jiu Ji's powerful bloodline, the child born will definitely have extraordinary talent."

Congratulations followed one after another, making Jiu Ji feel a little embarrassed.

Compared to being surrounded and noticed by everyone, she preferred to quietly be a little transparent, feeling more at ease that way.

"Jiu Ji, both I and your sister Wen have daughters. You must give your husband a big, chubby son to change the situation of too many females and too few males in the family."

Song Huaying playfully said with a smile in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chen An's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he said with a raised voice, "Where is there a shortage of males in the family?"

"Since you married into the family, is there any night when you haven't been begging for mercy with your mouth full?"

"Even if there were five more, I could still handle it. With my yang energy alone, I can suppress all of your yin energy!"

Song Huaying, upon hearing this, thought to herself, "Uh oh, I accidentally triggered his male pride. Tonight, I'm afraid he will torment me to death."

Beside her, Shen Qingyi, who was watching the scene unfold with amusement, teasingly said, "Yinger, you better brace yourself tonight."

"Shen sister--!"

Song Huaying stomped her foot in a spoiled manner and said with a slightly coquettish tone, "How can you make fun of me like this! No, you must suffer with me tonight! Otherwise, I will cut off all ties with you!"

"Then cut them. Let's become sisters again tomorrow at this time." Shen Qingyi smiled.

On the other side, Wen Zhiyun, who was not in a good mood, gave Chen An a disdainful look and said, "You really are something. Yinger didn't mean it that way at all. She just simply thinks there are too many females and too few males in the family, and she wants a son to change that. How did you step on your own tail?"

"Are you picking a fight with me?"

Chen An didn't indulge his spoiled concubine and imitated her tone, saying, "Xiao Wen, just you wait. I'll make you cry tonight and beg for mercy."

"I don't feel like talking to you!"

Wen Zhiyun decided not to argue if she couldn't win. After speaking, she turned her curvaceous body away from Chen An, not wanting to talk to her husband, who didn't understand how to treat his wife and concubines with humility and respect.

At this moment, their eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, approached Jiu Ji and said, "Jiu Niang, I want a little brother. Can you give me a little brother?"

"I want a little brother too! I want a little brother!"

Their silly second daughter, Chen Yike, joined in the clamor.

Jiu Ji helplessly said, "Um... I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but the fox demon clan only has females and no males. I can't give birth to a boy."

"Oh, my little brother is gone."

Chen Yuejian felt a little disappointed.

Chen Yike didn't really care and immediately changed her mind, shouting, "Then I want a little sister! I want a little sister!"

After saying that, she seemed to think of something and suddenly swallowed her saliva, with a greedy look on her face, saying, "Dad, Jiu Niang is having a baby. Are we going to have lots and lots of delicious food to celebrate tonight?"

Chen An rubbed his silly daughter's round face and smiled as he said to her, "Alright, tonight I'll have your mother make a lot of delicious food to celebrate."

"Yay!"

Chen Yike happily danced around.

The mothers around them were all amused by her and thought she was a little foodie.

But Gu Xinyue was an exception. She had been forcing a smile all along.

At this moment, she was smiling on the surface, but her expression was gloomy, and there was no trace of joy in her eyes.

Compared to Jiu Ji, who had only been here for a month and was already pregnant, she, who had been married to her husband for over four years, had no signs of pregnancy at all.

This comparison made her feel uncomfortable.

But when she thought about Shen Qingyi being with her, she felt much better.

Otherwise, she would be the only one among her sisters who hadn't given birth, which would probably lead to depression.

Shen Qingyi noticed Gu Xinyue's abnormality and kept reminding herself that even if she wanted to have a child for her husband, she had to wait until after Yue'er.

Unconsciously, it was already the hour of You.

In the evening, when it was the hour of Xu, Chen An had to go to the Dan Hall to attend the welcoming party for the newcomers.

The Sect Master and the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect would also be attending.

For such an important gathering, Chen An couldn't afford any mistakes.

Before the hour of You, he flew out of the Cave Mansion on his flying sword and headed towards the reception hall of the Dan Hall.

Before leaving, he instructed his wives and daughters to stay in the Cave Mansion and not wander around.

His wives assured him that they would stay at home and wait for him to come back, and they would also tidy up the Cave Mansion.

...

Dan Hall.

Reception hall.

Chen An walked in calmly and found that he was the last of the five new stewards to arrive.

"Everyone is here so early."

He greeted the four people with a smile as he approached.

Seeing him coming, Lin, who had a slightly plump figure, smiled and said, "Steward Chen, please sit in front of me. We specially reserved a seat for you in the front."

By "in front," he meant sitting in front of the main seat.

The four new stewards were very disciplined and sat according to their test rankings.

Chen An didn't have much feeling about this hierarchical seating arrangement, but he wouldn't deliberately oppose it.

Soon, under the gaze of the four people, he walked to the designated seat and sat down.

In the reception room at this moment, there were only the five new executives.

All five of them arrived too early.

There was still more than half an hour before the agreed time.

"Everyone arrived so early, it seems like we all want to leave a good impression on the Sect Master, the Holy Maiden, and Elder Chen," said Director Zhang, whose hair and beard were completely white.

Director Huang, whose temples were also white, smiled and said, "After all, we are newcomers, so naturally we want to leave a good impression."

"Director Huang makes a valid point," nodded Director He, who had a thin and emaciated figure.

The conversations among the directors were not very substantial, mostly just exchanging a few words.

But it was understandable.

After all, everyone was not yet familiar with each other, so it was impossible to have a lively conversation right from the start.

Everyone was a third-level alchemist, either the patriarch of a pill family or an elder of a Gold Core sect before joining the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Therefore, their words and actions were relatively stable, not as easily integrated as young people.

At this moment, Chen An was even quieter than them, not speaking a word since he sat down.

He joined the Heaven and Earth Sect just to provide a relatively safe environment for his wife and daughter, without thinking about developing interpersonal relationships.

In fact, he even wanted to avoid developing relationships with others and just quietly be a mediocre person.

The four new executives saw that he didn't speak and didn't have any intention of striking up a conversation with him.

Everyone was a third-level alchemist, all influential figures in their own right, so no one would engage in such cheap behavior as trying to get close to someone who didn't show interest.

"I wonder what the Holy Maiden looks like."

Chen An was thinking about this, full of anticipation for the appearance of the Holy Maiden, who was undoubtedly of extraordinary beauty as a member of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

As time passed by.

Unbeknownst to them, it was already the evening hour.

At this time, the reception room still only had the original five new executives, and no one else had arrived.

But the five of them were very patient and not at all impatient.

Because they all knew that only eight people would attend tonight's welcoming party, which meant that the absentees were only the Sect Master, the Holy Maiden, and Elder Li.

These three were important figures, so it was reasonable for them to arrive late.

As newcomers, they had no reason to complain about this.

Unless they didn't want to stay in the Heaven and Earth Sect in the future.

As for the twenty new disciples and apprentices who had joined, they were not qualified to attend this welcoming party.

The Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect valued the pill hall, but only valued alchemists at the level of executives and above.

"Elder Chen and the others have arrived."

Chen An, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His divine sense had sensed that Elder Chen was controlling the flying boat and heading towards the pill hall.

Upon hearing his words, the other four immediately straightened up, afraid of leaving a bad impression on the three important figures who were about to arrive.

"It's strange, why is Elder Li the only one on the flying boat?"

Chen An wondered.

At this moment, his divine sense only sensed Elder Li on the flying boat, and no one else.

This was unreasonable.

If there was no one on the flying boat, Elder Li would not have been piloting it, but would have chosen to fly on a sword.

Since Elder Li chose to pilot the flying boat, it must be because he went to pick up the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden.

The reason why his divine sense couldn't sense anyone was probably because the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden had Law Weapons that could block divine sense.

And, it is also a Law Weapon of extremely high rank.

At least a fifth-rank Law Weapon.

Otherwise, with my current strength of divine consciousness, it would be impossible not to perceive...

Chen An analyzed this in his heart.

Just as he was analyzing these things, Elder Li happened to land the flying boat outside the reception hall.

Then, the steady footsteps of Elder Chen came from outside, along with two sets of light footsteps.

All five people heard these three sets of footsteps.

Except for Chen An, the other four couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"The Sect Master and the Holy Maiden have arrived!"

Elder Li walked to the entrance of the reception hall, like the chief eunuch of the emperor in the secular world, walking ahead to announce the arrival of the master.

Upon hearing this, the five new stewards immediately stood up from their seats, assuming what they believed to be the most respectful posture, ready to welcome the incoming Sect Master and Holy Maiden.

Chen An's gaze quietly fell on the entrance, anticipating the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Sect's Holy Maiden.

Soon, a graceful figure entered slowly from outside the door, a woman dressed in a white fitted palace gown.

Her hair was like ink, flowing down like a natural waterfall on her shoulders. She had a pair of eyes that resembled stars, as if they could suck people in if stared at for too long. Her lips were red and luscious, crystal clear, tempting people to taste them.

But the most enticing aspect was the woman's graceful and charming figure, with a well-developed front and a curvaceous back. She had a pair of slender, snow-white legs that swayed within the transparent skirt as she walked, with smooth skin that seemed even whiter than the skirt, making it hard to look away.

However, despite being such a tempting beauty, she exuded a powerful aura that made people want to kneel and worship, filled with the presence of a superior.

The pressure emanating from her made Chen An and the others unable to look up, instinctively lowering their heads to look at their own feet.

Fortunately, this pressure quickly disappeared, replaced by the woman's red lips gently opening, her voice dignified and noble:

"Everyone, please raise your heads. You are all stewards of the Heaven and Earth Sect, so stand tall and proud."

As this voice fell, Chen An and the others felt a force lifting their chins, instantly raising their heads, their gaze once again falling on the woman in the palace gown.

Is this the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect?

So beautiful!

Such a commanding presence!

If only I could conquer her by pressing her on the bed, it would be worth dying on the spot.

In this brief moment, a thought involuntarily flashed through Chen An's mind.

This thought did not fit his character, as if he had been enchanted and uncontrollably emerged.

But Chen An knew that he was not actually enchanted, he hadn't been affected by any spell, he was simply captivated by the beauty and aura of the woman in the palace gown, arousing his desire to conquer women in his heart.

Just as he was stunned by the charm of the woman in the palace gown...

In the next moment, a graceful figure entered gently from outside the door, a young girl dressed in a white long dress.

Although the girl was walking slowly, there was a breeze flowing in front of her, gently blowing her soft hair and lifting the snow-white skirt beneath her, revealing a pair of slender and white legs like jade, bringing endless imagination to Chen An and the others.

She walked quickly to catch up with the woman in front of her, and her calm and clear eyes swept over Chen An and the others, briefly pausing on Chen An's face before moving elsewhere, leaving only a faint smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth, like a momentary blooming of flowers, instantly making Chen An's heart pound.

The girl was so beautiful.

Beautiful to the point where Chen An, who thought he had seen all the beauties in the world and wouldn't be easily captivated by women, was now completely infatuated.

Is this the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect?

Then who is the woman in the palace gown?

Could she be the Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect?

As soon as this thought arose, Chen An felt a great shock and surprise in his heart. The Sect Master of the Heaven and Earth Sect was actually a woman!

At this moment, Chen An, who had originally planned to quietly cultivate in the Cave Mansion in the future, suddenly had the idea of showing himself in the Heaven and Earth Sect, wanting to attract the attention of the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden.
