Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 191: Just Because He's Too Handsome (22)

"Even the Dark Department has been mobilized. What could have happened?"

"They say someone has committed a crime. Could it be that someone has offended the Holy Maiden?"

"No matter what happened, as long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine."

"... "

As the masked male cultivator finished speaking, the cultivators in the Cave Mansion area began to discuss among themselves.

While everyone was gossiping, their main concern was not to be mistakenly harmed.

Chen An, upon hearing the words "Dark Department," felt unfamiliar and turned to look at Lin, the steward who lived next door, and asked,

"Steward Lin, what is the Dark Department?"

"You don't know, Elder Chen?"

Steward Lin was extremely surprised and even thought he had misheard.

Chen An said, "Steward Lin, I moved here from the Great Thousand Domain not long ago, so I don't know much about the Heaven and Earth Sect."

"I see. No wonder there are still people who don't know about the Dark Department of the Heaven and Earth Sect."

Steward Lin nodded in realization and then explained with a smile, "Elder Chen, the Dark Department is the core force of the Heaven and Earth Sect. There are ten members in total, each of them at the Elder level of Nascent Soul cultivation."

"They are the forces cultivated by the Sect Master's lineage and only obey the orders of the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden."

"Therefore, the Dark Department has immense authority within the Heaven and Earth Sect. They can do what the Law Enforcement Hall can do, and even what the Law Enforcement Hall cannot do."

After listening to Steward Lin's explanation, Chen An understood.

This so-called Dark Department is the private army used by the Sect Master to consolidate his rule over the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Soon, the flying boat stopped in the sky above the Cave Mansion area.

It covered the sky and blocked the sun.

As a result, the Cave Mansion area became dim.

Then, the Holy Maiden and the members of the Dark Department flew out together on their flying swords, splitting into five groups and flying in different directions within the Cave Mansion area.

Chen An's senses were heightened, observing everything with his human vision and hearing.

Finally, he discovered that the Holy Maiden and the members of the Dark Department had come to search the houses.

They searched every Cave Mansion.

As for the reason for the search, it was unknown.

The members of the Dark Department remained silent, focusing on searching the Cave Mansions, unaware of what they were searching for.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Chen An saw the Holy Maiden and two members of the Dark Department flying towards him.

Seeing this, Steward Lin next door couldn't help but feel nervous and said, "Elder Chen, it's our turn. I hope nothing happens."

In the blink of an eye, the Holy Maiden and the two members of the Dark Department landed.

"You two will be responsible for searching the four Cave Mansions outside, and I will take care of the one inside."

Ning Xian'er said to the two members of the Dark Department.

Two members of the dark faction, listen up and start searching quickly.

"My husband, the Holy Lady is coming towards our direction," Wen Zhiyun said nervously, holding onto Chen An's arm.

The other two wives, Shen Qingyi with a calm expression and Jiu Ji with curiosity.

Jiu Ji's gaze fell on Ning Xian'er, examining her pure and flawless celestial beauty, her graceful figure in a white dress, constantly comparing herself to her.

"Chen An, it's been a long time," Ning Xian'er looked at Chen An and smiled brightly.

This smile was like a blooming flower, instantly bringing joy to people's hearts.

Jiu Ji, Shen Qingyi, and Wen Zhiyun all felt a sense of crisis.

This Holy Lady is too beautiful, afraid that she will steal my husband's soul.

If this Holy Lady becomes my husband's wife one day, life at home will be uncomfortable.

After all, she is the Holy Lady, with a superior status in the Heaven and Earth Sect. She will most likely not consider herself a sister, but rather become the mistress. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to her identity as the Holy Lady of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Chen An didn't know that the three wives beside him had so many thoughts in their minds. He just smiled appreciatively at Ning Xian'er and respectfully said, "Holy Lady, it's been a while."

The other three wives were well-behaved and followed suit, calling out, "Hello, Holy Lady."

"Just call me Holy Lady, no need to add 'hello'," Ning Xian'er said, looking at Chen An and smiling lightly. "Today, I am here on the orders of the Sect Master to conduct a search in the Cave Mansion area. Please cooperate with me and take me inside your residence for the search."

"Holy Lady, please come in," Chen An said with utmost respect.

Then, accompanied by him and the three wives, Ning Xian'er walked into the Cave Mansion.

Once inside, Ning Xian'er didn't show much intention to search. Instead, she seemed more like she was sightseeing, curiously observing the style of the Cave Mansion's interior.

At this time, Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue, and their two daughters had already woken up.

The two daughters were listening to the old tree's lecture, while Song Huaying was boredly accompanying them, and Gu Xinyue had just finished making breakfast and walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing a stranger coming in, all four of them, including the tree, focused their gaze on Ning Xian'er.

Then, except for the second daughter who only had food in her eyes, the other three were all amazed by Ning Xian'er's beauty.

What a fairy-like girl!

Who is she exactly?

Why is she walking with my husband/father/master?

To prevent the wives and daughters from saying the wrong things to the old tree, Chen An immediately spoke up and introduced, "This is our Holy Lady from the Heaven and Earth Sect. She has come to conduct a search in the Cave Mansion due to certain events. Everyone, please cooperate."

Song Huaying: "Hello, Holy Lady."

Chen Yuejian: "Hello, Holy Lady."

The old tree: "Hello, Holy Lady."

Chen Yike: "..."

The old tree was very alert and didn't praise Ning Xian'er excessively as usual, afraid of saying too much and offending this important person.

Chen Yike, on the other hand, was a bit shy and hid behind Song Huaying, not joining in to greet the Holy Lady.

Ning Xian'er's gaze fell on the Sage Tree and she curiously asked Chen An, "Chen An, why is there a tree spirit growing in your Cave Mansion?"

Chen An hurriedly explained, "Holy Maiden, this tree is called the Sage Tree. Although it is a tree spirit, it is friendly to people and knowledgeable. It is skilled in teaching. Before I joined the sect, I specifically bought it from a wandering fellow Daoist to be the teacher for my two daughters."

"There are tree spirits like this in the world?" Ning Xian'er felt enlightened and exclaimed, "The world is truly vast and full of wonders."

After speaking, she curiously chatted with the Sage Tree about poetry and historical stories.

Afterward, she was amazed by the cultural knowledge of the Sage Tree.

But the amazement only lasted for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure.

Then, her gaze fell on Chen Yuejian and Chen Yike, and she asked Chen An beside her, "Elder Chen, your two daughters are really beautiful. What are their names?"

"Replying to the Holy Maiden, the eldest daughter is named Chen Yuejian, and the younger daughter is named Chen Yike."

"Such beautiful names," Ning Xian'er said, and her gaze fell on Jiu Ji, who had a big belly beside her. She smiled and said, "Elder Chen is truly fortunate. You will soon have a third child."

Chen An didn't know how to respond to this and thought for a while before saying, "It is a bit of fortune, but it also means hard work for my wives and concubines."

"Elder Chen, your words are not quite right. It is their fortune to marry you and bear your children," Ning Xian'er smiled and said.

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the entrance of the cave. She sighed in her heart: It turns out that he already has five wives and concubines, what a pity.

Chen An saw that she had finished searching and was about to leave, so he quickly followed to see her off.

When they were about to leave the Cave Mansion.

Chen An had a thought and took out a glass bottle containing three Heavenly Countenance Pills from his storage ring. He respectfully handed it to Ning Xian'er and smiled, saying, "Holy Maiden, this is a beauty pill that I learned to refine recently. My wives and daughters have tried it, and the effects are very good. If the Holy Maiden needs it, please feel free to let me know in the future."

Rarely having the opportunity to meet the Holy Maiden, he wouldn't miss this chance to please her and wouldn't hide his alchemy skills.

He wanted to become a follower of the Holy Maiden first, and then make the Holy Maiden his own.

"What is this pill called?" Ning Xian'er took the glass bottle and asked.

Chen An replied, "This pill is called the Heavenly Countenance Pill. Its effect is more than ten times better than a beauty pill, and it can work on the whole body."

"Really?" Ning Xian'er's eyes lit up.

Chen An nodded, "Really."

Ning Xian'er felt her heart beating faster.

For her, a beauty pill was already considered a high-quality beauty product.

But now, Chen An was saying that the pills in this glass bottle had beauty effects more than ten times better than a beauty pill.

This broke her understanding a little.

"Elder Chen, this sound transmission talisman can contact me at any time. After I verify the effect of this Heavenly Countenance Pill in the Heavenly Palace, I will contact you then."

Ning Xian'er took out a sound transmission talisman from her storage ring and handed it to Chen An. She then instructed, "Before I contact you, please do not spread the news about your ability to refine the Heavenly Countenance Pill."

Chen An said, "I understand, Holy Maiden."

After exchanging a few more words, the Holy Maiden quickly left, eager to go back and test the effect of the Heavenly Countenance Pill.

...

Temple of Heaven.

Ning Xian'er entered the door with a joyful mood, humming a pleasant tune she had created along the way.

Seeing her so happy, the sect master Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but ask expectantly, "Xian'er, are you so happy because you have successfully resolved the matter of the remnants of the Yin Sect and obtained the treasure of the Yin Sect?"

"No, Master," Ning Xian'er suppressed her smile and sighed, "Master, you may not believe it when I say this, but I searched the entire Cave Mansion area under the pretext of investigation, and yet I found nothing."

Xiao Qingyue was not surprised by this result.

The people of the Yin Sect are best at hiding.

If they were so easy to catch,

they would have been wiped out long ago, and there would be no remnants left.

However, Xiao Qingyue couldn't understand why her disciple Ning Xian'er was so happy.

She couldn't figure it out and could only ask, "Xian'er, since you couldn't find any clues, why are you still so happy?"

"Master, I went into Elder Chen's Cave Mansion under the pretext of the search and had some contact with him," Ning Xian'er replied.

Xiao Qingyue was even more surprised and asked, "What's there to be happy about?"

"There is," Ning Xian'er said, "I have taken a liking to Elder Chen. Being able to enter his Cave Mansion naturally makes me happy."

In fact, just entering Chen An's Cave Mansion wouldn't make her so happy.

What really made her happy was that Chen An gave her a bottle of Heavenly Countenance Pill, a pill that far surpassed the beauty-enhancing pill in its effect.

But she didn't dare to mention this, afraid that her fellow woman master would snatch it away.

Xiao Qingyue frowned and said, "Xian'er, have you forgotten what I told you last time?"

"Disciple remembers."

"Then why are you still..."

"Master, Elder Chen is too handsome. I like what I see, I can't deceive myself."

Ning Xian'er said.

She said these words in order to lay the groundwork for establishing a relationship with Chen An in the future.

She was very greedy for Chen An's Heavenly Countenance Pill, but she needed a reason to get close to him.

And being greedy for his looks was a pretty good reason, so she wouldn't have to explain later.

Xiao Qingyue didn't understand her disciple's thoughts and looked puzzled, "Just because he's handsome?"

"Master, isn't that enough?"

Ning Xian'er asked with a soul-searching tone.

Xiao Qingyue furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought.

She suddenly realized that her disciple made a lot of sense!

Seeing her master lost in thought, Ning Xian'er returned to her own room.

She sat on the bed, and with a thought, took out the bottle of Heavenly Countenance Pill that Chen An had given her. Thinking of Chen An's extraordinary beauty, a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face.
