Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 37: Assisting

When Chen An returned home, the sky had already darkened completely.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue was cooking in the kitchen.

Although her movements still seemed a bit clumsy, she had become much more skilled compared to when she first arrived.

She could basically cook any dish.

The only thing is that the taste might be slightly off.

But there was one dish she made very well.

That was the cold cucumber salad.

Under Chen An's guidance, Gu Xinyue's cold cucumber salad could be considered top-notch, making people unable to stop eating.

"Yue'er, your culinary skills have improved a lot."

Chen An picked up his chopsticks and tasted the freshly cooked meal, finding the taste to be good, so he couldn't help but praise.

Gu Xinyue listened with joy in her heart, and a smile appeared on her usually cold and icy face as she said:

"Thank you for your praise, husband. Yue'er will continue to work hard to improve her cooking skills."

[You praised your wife Gu Xinyue's improved culinary skills, making her feel joyful. Marital relationship +2.]

"By the way, where is Ying'er?"

Seeing his young wife not in the kitchen, Chen An couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xinyue replied, "Ying'er is in the room taking care of Xiaoyuejian. I don't know if she's asleep."

"I'll go take a look."

After Chen An finished speaking, he kissed Gu Xinyue on the cheek before turning to go to their daughter's room.

[You kissed your wife Gu Xinyue on the cheek. Marital relationship +1.]

He stopped in front of the door.

Chen An knocked on the door and softly asked, "Ying'er, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, husband. I'm breastfeeding our daughter."

From inside the room came the tired voice of his young wife, as well as the sound of their daughter Chen Yuejian sucking.

"Squeak—"

Chen An pushed open the door and saw his young wife sitting by the bed, breastfeeding their daughter.

Both mother and daughter were very quiet, and the scene was very heartwarming.

"Husband, you've worked hard going out to buy things."

Song Huaying slightly raised her exhausted face, revealing a gentle smile.

This was how all new mothers were.

Because they had to take care of their young children, it was difficult for them to get a good rest at night.

Chen An felt a bit distressed and quickly sat down beside his young wife, pulling her into his embrace to comfort her, "I'm not tired at all, Ying'er, it's you who has to take care of our daughter."

"Ying'er is not tired either."

Song Huaying cradled their daughter while leaning gently against her husband's chest, feeling very sweet in her heart.

As a mere mortal, she had become the wife of an immortal master and had given birth to a daughter for him. This was already a great blessing for her, and any future hardships would be worth it.

[You showed consideration for your wife Song Huaying's hard work in taking care of their daughter, making her feel warm. Marital relationship +6.]

Soon, their daughter Chen Yuejian finished eating.

Chen An gently took her from his young wife's arms and let her lie down on the bed to sleep for a while.

Their daughter had been very restless last night, and his young wife hadn't gotten much rest.

"Ying'er, rest well. I'll take our daughter for a walk in the yard. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

"Mm, you've worked hard, husband."

"I'm not tired, Ying'er, rest well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An used the Sleep Aid Technique on his young wife.

The effect was significant, and before his young wife could react, she quickly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She slept deeply, with a sweet expression on her face.

Chen An carried their daughter and walked out of the room, taking a stroll in the yard.

As he walked, he subconsciously licked his lips, unable to help but savor the delicious taste he had just experienced in the room.

Two words: very fresh.

Walking with his daughter, he unknowingly arrived at the kitchen area.

At this time, Gu Xinyue was walking out of the kitchen with two plates of food, and when she saw her own husband carrying their daughter for a walk, she called out:

"Husband, the food is ready."

"Mm, I'll come over in a bit."

Chen An smiled and continued to take a walk with his daughter.

After a while, he carried his daughter, Chen Yuejian, back to the room and woke up his wife, who had been sleeping for about fifteen minutes, saying it was time to eat.

Then, he used a Sleep Aid Technique on his daughter in his arms, causing her to fall asleep instantly with a sweet expression on her face, giving his wife time to go to the dining hall to eat.

But his wife was not in a hurry to leave. She said that they hadn't had a deep conversation together for a long time and wanted to talk about the topic of becoming immortal with her husband.

Chen An didn't hesitate and directly refused. He had just given birth to a child and his body was still recovering. What was the point of talking about becoming immortal? It was more important to eat on time.

His wife didn't agree and said that there were many paths to becoming immortal and they should discuss it.

Chen An had no choice but to sit down with her and chat by the bedside.

After a stick of incense time.

[Alchemy Experience +3.]

Leaving the room, the couple went to the dining hall to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Chen An took out a pair of jade bracelets he bought in the market and handed them to his wives sitting on both sides.

"Yinger, Yuer, these are gifts from me."

"Husband is the best!"

"Thank you, husband."

Both wives were very happy and couldn't put down the bracelets in their hands.

Song Huaying, who was sitting opposite, was a little envious. Although Chen An had also given her a bracelet, it was given as a token of gratitude, which lacked some meaning.

"Oh, Sister Wen, your pearl bracelet looks so beautiful. Did you buy it when you went out to buy supplies?"

Song Huaying noticed the pearl bracelet on Wen Zhiyun's hand and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Wen Zhiyun felt a little guilty and put the hand with the bracelet under the table, smiling and saying, "Yes, I bought it while shopping."

"Sister Wen, is this pearl bracelet a gift from husband?"

Song Huaying suddenly teased.

Wen Zhiyun was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

Seeing this, Chen An took the initiative to defuse the situation and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen has been helping take care of our daughter these days, and I am very grateful for her help. So, I gave her a pearl bracelet as a token of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Song Huaying's eyes lit up and she bluntly exposed the truth, "Husband is lying. Husband clearly wants to win Sister Wen's favor, so he gave her the pearl necklace."

The little wife started to assist.

In order to speed up the progress of becoming a family.

"Well... I'm full. I'll go back to my room to cultivate. You guys enjoy your meal."

Wen Zhiyun's face turned red, feeling embarrassed. After saying this, she immediately got up from the dining table and walked quickly to her room.

Watching her fleeing figure, Song Huaying said to her husband, "Husband, look at how shy Sister Wen is. She must still be a young lady. Husband, you must seize the opportunity."

Chen An smiled and didn't say anything, but in his heart, he silently gave his little wife a thumbs up for her capable performance and felt very gratified.

After the meal, Chen An did not immediately knock on Wen Zhiyun's door.

He felt that for a proud and shy beauty like Wen Zhiyun, being too hasty might backfire.

It was better to take it step by step and slowly open her heart.

If he forcefully broke down the door, he would probably be kicked out.

Leaving the dining hall, he went to the backyard.

Chen An threw some snakeberries he picked on the way back into the chicken coop and fed them to the little spirit chickens inside.

These little spirit chickens loved to eat snakeberries.

However, they ate a bit clumsily, pecking the snakeberries on the ground along with the mud.

After feeding these chicks, Chen An turned around and walked into the nearby vegetable garden, planting all the spiritual plant seeds he bought and then pouring the pre-fermented natural fertilizer on them, ladle by ladle.

After finishing all this, he left the vegetable garden and went to Gu Xinyue's room to train his spiritual consciousness.
