Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 253: Xiao Qingyue's Attack (12)

The next morning, Chen An woke up from Ning Xian'er's bed.

Beside him, there was a rolled-up quilt separating him from Ning Xian'er, who was also in the same bed.

At his strong insistence, he stayed overnight in Ning Xian'er's Cave Mansion last night and slept together with Ning Xian'er, but nothing happened throughout the night.

They just chatted.

They chatted until dawn, and then they closed their eyes for a while to nurture their spirits.

This was the biggest concession Ning Xian'er could make. Anything more would be unacceptable.

"It's getting bright, I should go back."

"Don't you want to have a cup of flower tea before you leave?"

"No, let's meet again another day."

After saying that, Chen An left Ning Xian'er's Cave Mansion without any lingering feelings. He planned to occasionally neglect her in the future, playing hard to get. Otherwise, this Holy Maiden always gave people the feeling that she was fearless and kept using Xiao Qingyue as an excuse for her to remain chaste, not even willing to kiss.

...

In the Steward Cave Mansion area, the "Stable" Cave Mansion.

As soon as Chen An flew over the Steward Cave Mansion, he saw his three young daughters playing happily outside with the children from the neighboring families.

On the other side of these children, a group of young women gathered together, chattering non-stop.

His five wives were also there, but only Song Huaying was chatting enthusiastically. The other four wives mostly responded politely when someone talked to them and exchanged a few words.

Among them, Gu Xinyue and Shen Qingyi, who were pregnant, were approached the most. Many young women liked to bring up the topic of their pregnancies.

They praised Chen An for being lucky and having two more children.

They also praised the daughters in their bellies, saying that they would definitely grow up to be as charming as their mothers.

Although it was flattery, Gu Xinyue and Shen Qingyi were happy to hear it.

"Dad!!!"

Chen Yike was the first to notice her father in the sky. She immediately got excited, raised her silly little head, and roared like a dragon towards him.

The other children of the same age who were squatting together playing with mud were startled by her sudden loud roar and all twitched at the same time.

A timid little girl was even scared and burst into tears, "Waah" she cried out.

The little girl's mother quickly went over and picked her up, comforting her not to cry.

Wen Zhiyun was also annoyed and gave Chen Yike's silly head a slap, scolding her sternly, "How many times has your mother told you not to shout loudly all the time? Have you turned a deaf ear to it?!"

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

Chen Yike rubbed her little fingers, lowered her head, and obediently admitted her mistake, looking scared.

The little girl's mother quickly smiled and spoke up to defuse the situation, "Wen sister, a child with a loud voice means they are healthy, it's a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yike's eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at the young woman, thinking that she was a good person.

Wen Zhiyun smiled and agreed, but she didn't think much of it in her heart.

Compared to her silly daughter who shouted loudly all day and didn't look like a girl at all, she preferred quiet little girls like Chen Yuejian and Chen Jiuli.

Soon, Chen An slowly descended on his flying sword.

His eldest daughter and third daughter, who were closer, shouted "Dad" and rushed up to him.

As a father who doted on his daughters, Chen An directly picked up one in each hand and kissed their faces, showing his love as their old father.

"Dad, did you buy spirit cakes for us to eat?"

Chen Yike rushed to her father's side, abruptly stopped, and put her hands behind her back, raising her small round face high with great anticipation.

Chen An smiled and said, "I bought hundreds of boxes. I'll give you enough when we go inside."

"Yay!"

Chen Yike jumped up excitedly in place.

Jumped up to a height of ten meters.

The surrounding young women and children were all stunned.

What the hell?!

How could she jump so high?

Is this a human?

Compared to these outsiders, Chen An and his family were accustomed to this.

Chen Yike was naturally strong, with abundant vitality and a robust physique. It was normal for her to have better jumping ability.

"Wen Jiejie, your little Yike is truly gifted. At such a young age, her physical strength is already so strong. Her future is promising," said the mother of the little girl, her face full of envy.

Wen Zhiyun smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. But deep down, she felt somewhat helpless.

This girl's strong physique was obtained through a trade-off. What is there to envy?

...

In the Heavenly Palace, within the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master.

Xiao Qingyue lay on the bed, holding a piece of clothing that Chen An had left behind yesterday, and gently sniffed it.

After smelling the familiar scent, a satisfied expression appeared on the elegant lady's face, her eyes filled with infatuation.

"What's happening to me?"

"How did I become like this?"

"No, I am the Sect Master. I can't continue like this!"

"This is too abnormal, too shameful!"

"I am not like those lascivious women in the Pleasure Hall!"

Xiao Qingyue threw Chen An's clothes aside and tried to make herself appear normal.

But within just three breaths, she uncontrollably picked up Chen An's clothes again and greedily covered her face with it, sucking in the scent.

Just as she was indulging in it and finding it hard to extricate herself, a communication talisman in her storage ring vibrated.

She took it out and listened to the urgent voice of an elder from the Hundred Herbs Hall.

"Sect Master, something bad has happened. The Ghostfire Tree you planted in the Hundred Herbs Garden, I don't know who uprooted it, and now it looks half-dead!"

"What?!"

Xiao Qingyue was completely shocked.

That Ghostfire Tree was painstakingly transplanted from the Purgatory Mountain. Its demon fruits, which matured every ten years, were extremely beneficial for alchemy cultivation. The entire tree was invaluable.

She became the Holy Maiden and the successor to the Sect Master position thanks to that Ghostfire Tree.

This Ghostfire Tree could produce outstanding alchemists in large quantities. It couldn't die.

Xiao Qingyue didn't have time to listen to the explanation of the elder from the Hundred Herbs Hall through the communication talisman. She immediately soared into the sky on her flying sword, heading towards the Hundred Herbs Garden under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Herbs Hall.

But when she was halfway there, she was suddenly trapped by a mysterious formation.

Before she could react to what was happening, numerous humanoid shadows appeared out of thin air within the formation. Each shadow possessed strength no lower than Nascent Soul stage and attacked her like moths to a flame.

"It's actually the Purgatory Shadow Killing Formation?!"

"Whose doing is this?!"

With a heart full of doubts, she was instantly overwhelmed by these shadows that filled the sky and the ground.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, she, who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, was covered in injuries from the shadow attacks. Her spiritual energy was depleted, and she was already halfway to death's door.

She felt desperate and wanted to seek help from Chen An, but she couldn't transmit any sound within the Purgatory Shadow Killing Formation.

Because the means of communication were cut off by the formation.

All that awaited her was death.
