Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 30: Repeating Old Tricks

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the wooden boards creaked.

"Creak—"

Suddenly, the door was opened.

Song Huaying walked in and said, "Husband, just now Wen Jiejie came over and said that she wants to invite me and Gu Jiejie to her house for dinner tonight. I don't know if I should go."

"That's great, go ahead."

"Then what about your dinner, husband?"

"Yinger, have you forgotten who used to cook for you every day when you just got married?"

Chen An chuckled as he put on his clothes.

Song Huaying immediately understood.

Oh right, my cooking skills were all taught by my husband. Why should I worry about his dinner tonight?

Thinking this, she looked at Gu Xinyue, who was tightly holding her hands in front of her chest on the bed, and asked, "Gu Jiejie, are you going?"

"I want to stay at home and accompany my husband."

Gu Xinyue had a reserved personality. She preferred to stay at home and be intimate with her husband rather than going to Wen Zhiyun's house and being like a wooden person, listening to others chat. Although it could be tiring at times, at least she felt fulfilled.

"Yue'er, you should go."

Chen An persuaded.

He hoped that Gu Xinyue could be more cheerful and not stay at home all day like a shut-in, avoiding social interactions.

Gu Xinyue obediently replied, "Okay, I'll go."

After saying that, she got dressed and left with Song Huaying to Wen Zhiyun's house.

On the way there, Song Huaying curiously asked, "Gu Jiejie, why were you holding your arms on the bed just now?"

"I was bitten by a bug there."

Gu Xinyue said softly, her delicate face blushing.

...

On the other side.

After watching his two wives enter Wen Zhiyun's house from the window, Chen An quickly got out of bed and went to the alchemy room to check and repair the underground passage.

During the inspection, he found many problems.

For example, slippery ground, leaks, and some areas being too narrow and steep.

For the slippery ground, he could solve it by finding some sand from outside and spreading it on the ground.

As for the leaks, he could mix some yellow mud with fine grass roots to seal them.

As for the areas being too narrow and steep... he would have to start construction again.

After identifying the problems and devising solutions, Chen An immediately took action.

It took him a little over an hour.

The entire underground passage was repaired and improved.

Satisfied with his work, Chen An left the underground passage and casually went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

By the time he finished eating, it was already getting dark.

There was no moonlight, and he couldn't see his own fingers when he stretched out his hand.

Chen An walked out of the hall and went to the courtyard for a walk to aid digestion.

Suddenly, his powerful spiritual sense detected several cultivators approaching.

There were four of them in total!

All of them were in the late Qi Refining stage!

Chen An's heart sank, and he quickly found a place to hide.

At the same time, his brain kept recalling if he had offended anyone.

He immediately thought of Wen Zhiyun.

He wondered if it was because Wen Zhiyun had been frequently coming in and out of his house recently, unknowingly offending some of her fervent pursuers?

He couldn't rule out this possibility.

After all, the behavior of a "licking dog" cannot be judged by common sense.

Once a "licking dog" has a mental breakdown, Valentine's Day can turn into a lover's robbery in minutes.

Just as Chen An was thinking this, the four cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage landed on the wall of Wen Zhiyun's house.

Huh?

They're not here for me?

Chen An was surprised and immediately peeked out to observe the four cultivators from a distance.

But as soon as he saw them, his heart sank to the bottom.

He saw that all four of the cultivators on the wall were carrying large machetes engraved with the Black Iron Mountain Villa logo!

Are they undercover agents from Black Iron Mountain Villa?

What are they doing infiltrating Wen Zhiyun's house?

My two wives are still inside!

Chen An panicked.

At this moment, a delicate shout came from Wen Zhiyun's house.

"Who goes there!"

"Quick, finish this woman off quickly and tie her up, so as not to alert other cultivators!"

"Do you think you're worthy?"

"Thud—"

Wen Zhiyun leaped down from the roof, wielding a whip and engaging in a fight with the four individuals.

The scene was intense and evenly matched.

Neither side was able to gain a clear advantage.

Chen An saw the situation and quickly ran back into the house.

He kicked open the door to the alchemy room.

He uncovered the cover of the underground passage.

He picked up the surrounding medicinal powder and poured bottle after bottle into the underground passage.

He wanted to use the same trick to create a dust bomb!

Before long, the dust bomb was ready.

A large cloud of dust formed in the underground passage.

In terms of scale, it was several times larger than the previous dust bomb, which was only the size of a carriage.

As long as a spark fell, the entire house would be blown up.

It was enough to turn those four Qi Refining stage cultivators into dust.

Everything was ready.

Chen An returned to the courtyard outside.

Risking his life, he shouted loudly to Wen Zhiyun, who was already at a disadvantage: "Fellow Daoist Wen, quickly, run towards me!"

"..."

Wen Zhiyun ignored him and focused on fighting the four enemies.

However, one of the four enemies paid attention to him.

The leader, Senior Huang, immediately said to one of the people next to him, "Junior Wu, go over and kill that person!"

"Yes!"

Junior Wu responded and immediately rushed towards Chen An with a knife.

Seeing this, Chen An didn't hesitate and turned around to run back into the house.

Since Wen Zhiyun didn't know how to cooperate with him to lure all the enemies into the underground passage to be blown up, he could only blow up one at a time now.

Perhaps if it went from 1 vs. 4 to 1 vs. 3, Wen Zhiyun might be able to counter-kill the opponent.

"You useless waste, did I allow you to leave?!"

Seeing Junior Wu suddenly leave the scene and head towards Chen An, Wen Zhiyun immediately whipped the three people in front of him, then took a big step forward and chased after Junior Wu.

The other three also followed suit.

Time waits for no one, they had to quickly subdue Wen Zhiyun before alerting the surrounding residents.

"Crack!"

Only the sound of a whip cracking was heard.

Junior Wu, who was chasing after Chen An, was struck hard by Wen Zhiyun.

Immediately, his skin split open and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"Wen Zhiyun!!!"

"Can't you keep up with me?!"

"Run with me!"

Chen An shouted loudly this time.

If Wen Zhiyun still didn't understand how to cooperate, she would be blown up along with him later!

Sacrificing her to save his wives and concubines!

Seeing Chen An suddenly roar with a fierce expression, Wen Zhiyun was directly stunned.

She recalled a scene from her childhood when her father was angry.

Her mind went blank in an instant and she instinctively felt fear.

She followed Chen An's instructions like a puppet on a string and ran with him towards the alchemy room in the house.

They rushed into the alchemy room ahead of time, and Chen An hid behind the door with Wen Zhiyun, instructing her to hold her breath and reduce her presence to the lowest level.

Soon, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside.

The four undercover agents from Black Iron Mountain Villa had caught up.

Senior Huang, the leader, glanced at the entrance of the underground passage and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, chase after them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four undercover agents from Black Iron Mountain Villa jumped into the underground passage one after another.

Chen An stood still and waited for a while.

Feeling that the four had gone deep enough into the underground passage, he immediately took out a thin rope, threw one end into the passage, and held the other end in his hand, pulling Wen Zhiyun and running outside.

After running out of the alchemy room, he took out two pieces of flint and struck them together, igniting the rope with sparks.

Without saying a word, he pulled Wen Zhiyun and ran outside again.

Just as they ran out of the front door of the house.

The next second.

There was a sudden loud explosion behind them!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The underground passage exploded several times in a row, shaking the ground beneath their feet. The flames rising from underground instantly illuminated the entire night.
