Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 205: Ambushed at Midnight (12)

Cave Mansion in the steward district, "Stable" Cave Mansion.

Chen An slowly descended with his sword and used the Earth Escape Technique to enter Cave Mansion the moment he landed.

At this moment, his wives and daughters were all chatting in the hall. As soon as they saw him return, they immediately stood up to greet him.

Well, except for Chen Yike.

This girl was sitting in a chair, completely oblivious to what was happening outside the window, and focused only on eating the spiritual fruit cake, completely ignoring her returning father.

"You little brat, still eating!"

Wen Zhiyun lightly tapped her silly daughter's head and spoke with a slightly stern tone, "Your father has come back, why don't you get up and greet him?"

"Oh."

Chen Yike was most afraid of her fierce mother, so she swallowed the rice cake in her hand and quickly got off the chair, bouncing towards her father.

"Husband, how did things go?"

Song Huaying was the first to come forward and asked softly.

By "things," she was referring to the matter of finding a cure, whether there were any rewards or not.

Chen An picked up his unsteady third daughter, Chen Jiuli, and casually said to his gentle wife, "There are rewards, but I'm not in a hurry to claim them. I chose to let the Holy Maiden owe me, to strengthen our relationship."

"Strengthen the relationship?"

Wen Zhiyun habitually rolled her eyes and sarcastically said, "I'm afraid you want to strengthen your feelings and bring her back as a concubine, right?"

Chen An didn't deny it, he just smiled.

Because, that's exactly what he was thinking.

It can only be said that no one knows a husband better than his wife.

"Husband, freshly brewed spiritual tea."

Gu Xinyue handed over a cup of hot tea and said very virtuously.

Chen An took the cup and took a sip, instantly enjoying the lingering fragrance of the tea in his mouth.

He looked at Gu Xinyue and praised, "Yue'er has made progress in her tea art again."

Gu Xinyue smiled modestly and said, "It's all thanks to your good teaching, husband."

Next, Chen An sat down at the tea table under the crowd of his wives and daughters. With a thought, he took out a pile of things from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

These were the gifts he bought in the market on his way back, one for each of his wives and daughters.

After receiving their own gifts, his wives and daughters all had smiles on their faces.

Chen Yike hugged several boxes of spiritual cakes and couldn't stop smiling.

Chen Yuejian held a bracelet given by her father and said in a crisp voice that she wanted her daddy to help her put it on.

Chen An doted on his daughter and smiled as he put it on for her.

Song Huaying, who was on the side, felt a little jealous, even if it was her own daughter, she still felt jealous.

"Husband, what kind of pill is this?"

Shen Qingyi looked at the gift in her hand, a small pill stored in a glass bottle, and asked curiously.

Chen An explained, "This is the Gold Core Nurturing Pill. It can nourish the dead spots in your body and lay a good foundation for you to break through to the Gold Core stage in the future. It's best to take it at dawn when the dead spots are easier to nourish."

Shen Qingyi understood and had a faint smile on her lips as she said, "Thank you, husband."

They chatted with their wives and daughters in the living room for a while.

Before long, Chen An carried his sleeping third daughter in his arms and took her to the room.

Jiu Ji silently followed behind.

Just as he entered the room and placed his daughter on the bed, Chen An suddenly received a prompt message.

[Li Qingming holds a grudge against you, current grudge value is 5 stars.]

What the hell?

Chen An was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened.

For no reason at all, how did he become the target of Li Qingming's grudge?

It's really inexplicable!

Curse him!

Relying on his Spiritual Treasure, the Book of Curses, Chen An directly started cursing Li Qingming, seeking revenge with great determination.

"Li Qingming..."

"Li Qingming..."

"Li Qingming..."

He silently chanted Li Qingming's name in his mind, like a vengeful ghost.

After a moment, a prompt message appeared before his eyes.

[You have successfully cursed Li Qingming, causing him mental damage, making him become extreme and easily angered, almost falling into demonic cultivation.]

"Just a casual curse like this, without consuming much spiritual power, can almost make him fall into demonic cultivation. The first level of Nascent Soul is really weak."

Now at the second level of Nascent Soul, Chen An couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful towards Li Qingming, who only had the first level of Nascent Soul. He was truly a bit arrogant.

Jiu Ji, who was beside him, noticed that he was lost in thought and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Husband, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in your thoughts."

"It's nothing."

Chen An smiled and didn't intend to let her know too much.

He gently adjusted the sleeping position of his daughter, Chen Jiuli, and covered her with a thin blanket. After doing all this, he was about to leave.

Jiu Ji grabbed his arm when she saw this and said in a soft and tender voice, "Husband, I want that."

"Do you have such a strong craving?"

Chen An turned around and teased her.

Jiu Ji felt embarrassed by his words and felt quite awkward. She could only defend herself, "Husband, what are you thinking? I mean, I want to chat with you, nothing else."

"Just chatting? Then I'll go."

"No, let's chat first, and then we can do that..."

"Whatever you say."

Chen An smiled and followed Jiu Ji's suggestion, sitting down by the bed.

A smile appeared on Jiu Ji's pretty face.

Then, she skillfully set up a soundproof barrier around the bed, so as not to wake up their daughter when they communicate later.

After dealing with the soundproofing issue, Jiu Ji leaned in front of Chen An and happily said to him, "Husband, do you feel that my lips look more pink than before?"

"And also, my legs have become fairer."

"Especially my feet, they feel so tender when touched."

As she said these words, Jiu Ji almost wanted to press her lips against Chen An's face, so that he could take a good look, and even wanted him to taste them in his mouth.

Chen An casually glanced and said somewhat perfunctorily, "Hmm, they have indeed become much pinker than before. It seems that the Heavenly Countenance Pill is quite effective."

Jiu Ji raised her leg with great interest and placed her slender calf on Chen An's thigh. With a charming and affectionate expression on her face, she said, "Husband, quickly take off my shoes and socks and take a look at my small feet. I guarantee you won't be able to let go."

Chen An didn't feel much at first, but now that he heard Jiu Ji's words, he couldn't help but be intrigued.

With a hint of anticipation, he gently helped Jiu Ji take off her shoes and socks, revealing a delicate and flawless pair of jade-like feet, as smooth as a freshly boiled and peeled egg.

"Are they tender?" Jiu Ji asked, seeing Chen An staring at her feet without being able to look away, with a smug smile on her face.

"They are very tender," Chen An nodded in agreement, lovingly playing with Jiu Ji's feet. "Such a tender pair of beautiful feet, it's a waste for them to be used for walking. I must give them a more glorious and noble task."

"I don't want that," Jiu Ji said, shrinking her feet and playing hard to get.

Chen An liked this, and he directly smiled and pushed down the little fox spirit onto the bed, showing even more enthusiasm in loving her than before.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time.

"Husband, quickly give me a cleansing talisman, it's too dirty, I can't stand it," Jiu Ji said, slightly furrowing her eyebrows and pouting.

Chen An looked at the little fox spirit's delicate appearance and couldn't help but feel that she was like a little wife, and he quite liked it when she acted spoiled.

The only difference was that this little fox spirit liked to make her own demands, and she was the kind that kept pushing for more.

At one point, he even felt like this little fox spirit was trying to seduce him.

"Husband, quickly give me a cleansing talisman to clean up," Jiu Ji said, seeing that Chen An was unmoved, she held his arm and shook it, using her soft voice to act spoiled.

Chen An fell for it, and with a few shakes from Jiu Ji, he obediently took out a cleansing talisman and handed it to her.

Jiu Ji happily accepted the cleansing talisman and put it away in her storage bag with a thought.

For her, whether it was clean or not didn't matter, what mattered was whether Chen An would give it to her.

Now that Chen An had given it, she felt very satisfied.

Chen An couldn't understand her actions and asked, "Didn't you think it was dirty? Why did you ask for a cleansing talisman and then not use it?"

"I suddenly don't think it's dirty anymore," Jiu Ji said with a mischievous smile, looking like a sister to a little wife.

Just as Chen An was about to pounce on her and make her body even dirtier, a certain voice transmission talisman in his storage ring trembled, it was the voice transmission talisman from the Saintess.

He took out the voice transmission talisman and, under Jiu Ji's gaze, chose to play it out loud.

After all, there was nothing secretive about it.

Soon, the voice of the Saintess, Ning Xian'er, could be heard from the voice transmission talisman.

"Chen Elder, thanks to you for your timely research on the antidote, Heaven and Earth Sect would have suffered unbearable losses if it weren't for you."

"Saintess, you're too kind. I am just an Elder of the Alchemy Hall of Heaven and Earth Sect, I am only fulfilling my duty," Chen An's tone was filled with a sense of belonging.

On the other side of the voice transmission talisman, Ning Xian'er felt even more favorably towards Chen An after hearing his words. She softly said to him, "Chen Elder, I don't know if you have time tonight, but my master and two other elders would like to thank you in person."

You and the Sect Master and two other elders?

Thank me in person?

Which two elders are they?

Chen An felt curious in his heart, but more than that, he felt puzzled.

Thinking about it, he replied, "I have time."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, confirmed the specific time and location, and then interrupted their communication.

During this time, Jiu Ji, who had been sensible and not making any noise to disturb them, saw her husband put away the voice transmission symbol. Immediately, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his body, exhaling like an orchid, saying,

"Husband, there is still plenty of time until evening. Let's continue."

"Okay."

Chen An agreed and was about to press her down.

But just as he pressed down, he happened to remember something at this moment and asked,

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, what was that technique you used before, where you could cross several or even dozens of miles with just one step?"

"Oh, that one, it's called the Shrink the Earth to an Inch technique."

After saying that, Jiu Ji continued, "Why did husband suddenly ask about this? Do you want to learn it?"

"Can I learn it?"

"Of course you can."

"Then when you have time tomorrow, teach me."

"Sure." Jiu Ji readily agreed, but as soon as she finished speaking, her expression became charming, and her tone became particularly seductive as she said, "But the premise is, it depends on whether husband can satisfy me later."

"You little vixen, asking for trouble!"

Chen An couldn't tolerate this little fox turning the tables and immediately gave her a harsh lesson.

He taught her a lesson for the entire afternoon, and Jiu Ji begged for mercy repeatedly, promising not to push her luck and make demands on her husband.

"Husband, you're so heartless, bullying your own concubines like this."

"It's clearly love, where's the bullying?"

"I'm sure the sisters have also been bullied by husband, right?"

"You'll have to ask them to find out."

Chen An patted Jiu Ji, who had turned into a puddle of water, and asked her to get up and dress him after informing the other wives. Then, he used the Earth Escape technique to leave the Cave Mansion and immediately took out his flying sword to fly towards the Heavenly Palace.

He flew very fast, heading straight for the Master's Cave Mansion in the Heavenly Palace.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

When Chen An flew over an empty forest, barriers with a faint fluorescent light suddenly appeared from all directions, trapping him in the sky above the forest, unable to leave.

He looked at the barrier that suddenly rose before his eyes and immediately recognized it as a formation, an advanced formation that Jiu Ji had used to trap him before:

- Heaven and Earth as a Prison Formation!
