Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife
Chapter 20 Attacked Halfway
Chapter 20: Ambushed on the Way
Leaving the core area, Chen An returned to the cheap district.
Instead of rushing home, he went to the market and bought a horse and a carriage.
The journey to their new home was over twenty miles long, and his wife, who was seven months pregnant, couldn't walk such a distance. They needed a carriage for transportation.
When Chen An drove the carriage back home, his wife and concubine were sitting in front of the house, chatting just like yesterday.
As soon as they saw their husband return, they immediately got up to greet him.
"Husband, why did you suddenly buy a carriage?" Song Huaying asked, both puzzled and curious.
Chen An tapped her forehead playfully and smiled, "Silly Ying'er, if I didn't buy a carriage, would you be able to walk with your big belly tomorrow?"
"Husband, I'm not silly at all, I'm just a little clumsy," Song Huaying pouted her rosy lips and acted coquettishly.
Chen An smiled and patted her head, saying, "Yes, yes, my Ying'er is not silly, just clumsy."
"Of course, I'm not silly at all. I'm proficient in everything, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. How could I be silly?" Song Huaying enjoyed her husband's touch, feeling warm and comfortable, and loved.
[You gently caress your wife Song Huaying, making her feel sweet in her heart. Marital relationship +1.]
"Husband, have some water." Gu Xinyue appeared in the room with a cup of water, her voice as cold as ever but with a touch of tenderness.
Chen An smiled and took the cup, drinking it all in one go.
Hmm, it was freshly drawn well water, cool and refreshing.
"Yue'er is so considerate." Chen An handed the cup back after finishing it, and gently touched Gu Xinyue's head.
Gu Xinyue looked very content.

...
After a simple dinner.
Led by Chen An, the three of them began to tidy up the house and pack up things for tomorrow's move.
Chen An and Gu Xinyue were the main force.
Pregnant Song Huaying was only responsible for tidying up small items or occasionally pouring tea for the two.
After more than an hour.
The whole house was cleaned up.
"It's getting late, let's take a shower and rest early. We have to get up early tomorrow." Chen An clapped his hands to remove the dust.
Hearing her husband's words, both wives went to the kitchen to boil water very obediently.
After the water was boiled.
Chen An brought a ladle and a cotton cloth, carefully showering Song Huaying.
After all, his little wife was already over seven months pregnant and not suitable for bathing in a wooden tub.
[You gently help your wife Song Huaying clean her body, making her feel full of love. Marital relationship +1.]
After helping his little wife clean up, Chen An sent her to the room to rest.
Then he returned to the bathroom and, in perfect harmony, sat in the wooden tub filled with warm water with Gu Xinyue, enjoying the long-awaited bath together.
After a stick of incense burned.
[You and your wife Gu Xinyue have deep communication, and your mental strength +1.]
"Yue'er, the carriage I bought today is very luxurious and comfortable inside. Do you want to go in and take a look?" Chen An stroked Gu Xinyue's hair and asked.
Gu Xinyue nodded, "I want to see."
As long as it was something her husband wanted to do, she would never refuse.
Not long after, the two of them got dressed and walked into the carriage parked in the yard.
Innocent Gu Xinyue thought they were really going to see the carriage, but only realized after entering that she had been tricked by her husband.

Time passed quickly, and with a blink of an eye, the rooster from some neighbor's house started crowing before dawn, screaming at the top of its lungs.
Chen An was awakened by the noise.
He glanced at the sky outside the carriage, and the sun had just barely risen. It would still be a while before it was fully bright.
With nothing else to do, he shook Gu Xinyue awake, wanting to continue improving his mental strength, Goldfinger proficiency, and the relationship between husband and wife.

As the sky gradually brightened, a drizzle began to fall outside.
The couple got out of the carriage and began moving the luggage they had packed last night onto the carriage.
Not long after, Song Huaying woke up.
Gu Xinyue went to the kitchen with her to make breakfast.
Chen An went to the bathroom and found a cotton cloth to dry the water that had spilled all over the carriage. Then he sat down and opened the data panel with a thought.

...
After the three of them finished breakfast, they each checked to see if there was anything they had forgotten to pack.
After checking, they didn't find anything missing.
So they found a place to sit down casually and started chatting and laughing.
Soon, it was noon.
After finishing lunch and resting for a while, they saw that it was almost time and got on the carriage to go to Steward Zhang's office area.
After successfully meeting up with Steward Zhang, the four of them drove the carriage towards the core area.
Chen An and Steward Zhang sat in front of the carriage, controlling the horses.
The two wives lay in the carriage, sleeping and resting.
The journey was peaceful and calm.
Until the carriage passed through a forest, an accident occurred.
"Shua la... shua la... shua la!"
Only the sound of branches rubbing against each other could be heard. Suddenly, several masked men wielding large machetes appeared in the previously quiet forest.
Chen An immediately recognized the iconic large machetes as belonging to the Black Iron Mountain Villa!
Steward Zhang, who was a member of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, also recognized the large machetes of the Black Iron Mountain Villa.
In the instant they appeared, Steward Zhang immediately drew his sword from his waist and leaped off the carriage.
"Tell me, how did the people from the Black Iron Mountain Villa infiltrate here!"
Steward Zhang's voice thundered, and his cultivation at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer burst out without reservation, trying to intimidate the other party.
However, the other party remained unfazed and even seemed to find it amusing.
The leading male cultivator walked forward with a smile and said, "What's the big deal about Qi Refining Seventh Layer? Do you think I'm not?"
As he spoke, he suddenly released his aura, and his cultivation turned out to be even stronger than Steward Zhang's Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
Steward Zhang's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief. He never expected that the other party would also be a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator, and even slightly stronger than him.
What is going on?
Why would a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator lead a team to attack me?
Did I offend someone important?
Steward Zhang pondered hard, but he couldn't figure it out in a short period of time. He could only soften his attitude and look at the other party, asking, "Fellow Daoist, is there any misunderstanding here?"
The other party ignored him and directly said to the group behind him, "I'll deal with this Qi Refining Seventh Layer sword cultivator. The rest of you, quickly take down the alchemist and bring him back to the Black Iron Mountain Villa to be dealt with by that useless thing."
"Yes!"
The masked men responded and immediately approached Chen An with their large machetes, without saying a word.
At this moment, Steward Zhang finally realized that these people from the Black Iron Mountain Villa were targeting Chen An, and he was just caught in the crossfire. He immediately had the intention to retreat.
He wanted to make friends with Chen An, but he didn't want to sacrifice his life for him.
On the other side, as he watched the group of black-clad men approaching him, Chen An instantly remembered the arrogant male cultivator who had taught him a lesson in the market yesterday.
From what the Qi Refining Seventh Layer masked man had just said, he roughly understood that he was being retaliated against by that arrogant male cultivator. He had underestimated the status of the other party's father in the Black Iron Mountain Villa.
"Husband, what's happening?"
Song Huaying had already fallen asleep in the carriage. She was awakened by the commotion outside and noticed that the carriage had stopped. She couldn't help but open the curtain and ask in confusion.
One of the masked men saw Song Huaying, who had a big belly, and his eyes lit up. A twisted look appeared in his eyes as he said, "Be careful not to cause a miscarriage for the pregnant woman. I want to bring her back to the Black Iron Mountain Villa and enjoy..."
"...Pfft!"
Before the masked man could finish his sentence, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on his forehead.
