After a series of disturbances, the Chu family finally settled down in the Langhuan Heavenly Palace.

Compared to the Hengyuan Garden, the level of luxury in their residence was definitely greatly reduced. Chu Shen only brought his concubines, children, and the women who were about to become his concubines, and they filled up most of the rented mansion, reminding him of the time when the Chu family first had a residence.

But life in the Chongxue Academy was much more convenient than in Nanping City. They used a lot of spiritual instrument technology here, making the difference between Nanping City and here like the difference between an ancient small town and a modern small town:

In Nanping City, most lighting was done with oil lamps, but here they had spiritual lamps that were comparable to modern lighting fixtures.

In Nanping City, cooking and heating required a stove, but here they had spiritual stoves that could be easily ignited and used.

In Nanping City, bathing was troublesome. Not only did they have to heat water with firewood, but they also had to pour hot and cold water into the bathtub in the right proportions. But here, they had spiritual devices similar to running water and water heaters, bringing them directly into modern life...

Even in the Chongxue Academy, you could encounter delivery drivers riding exotic beasts or using acceleration artifacts. You could buy crystal recordings of various spiritual realm images and play with spiritual chess sets that could follow commands.

Chen Xiu and the other women were truly dazzled. Even Zhao Chulu, who had always held herself in high regard as a noble lady, felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Although Chu Shen had memories of modern life, and these types of devices were not particularly surprising to him, he was even more excited about his student life at the Chongxue Peak when he saw the technology and principles that were different from modern industry.

Perhaps the impact of "modern life" was too great. After moving and unpacking for half a day, and then shopping for half a day, the others became even more gentle and obedient towards Chu Shen. Even Hu Chuanshan, who usually acted like an ordinary girl and liked to get jealous, didn't seem to mind that he had brought back seven or eight women all at once.

The new recruits were also shocked by the extraordinary and beautiful life here. They understood why their relatives had sent them here, and even if they were made to work as maidservants, they were willing to do so wholeheartedly.

This is truly a great opportunity, even winning Chu Shen's favor. They can embark on the path of cultivation and become cultivators, no longer burdened by various troubles as ordinary people.

The originally somewhat resentful young ladies have all restrained their temperaments. They lower their heads and obey, while the bold ones have already started using their immature seductive methods to seize the advantage.

Chu Shen doesn't mind their anxious behavior. On one hand, he has been in Dongxuan Heaven for a long time and has become familiar with the local customs and culture. Although he doesn't treat women like clothes like many men do, he no longer feels like he is being excessive by having more women.

On the other hand, regardless of what these women think, according to the rules of Dongxuan Heaven, once they enter the Chu family, they are already his women. If he doesn't do anything to them, they will consider it a terrible experience, as it is considered "being left to live as a widow."

So Chu Shen calmly enjoys the clumsy, shy, yet expectant service of the newcomers.

After dinner, Chen Xiu, as the first one to enter, naturally assigned tasks to the women. Some clean up the dishes and chopsticks, some make the beds and fold the quilts, some take care of pregnancy and health, and some give Chu Shen a shoulder and back massage.

As for the newcomers, they are shyly sent to experience the novelty of the spiritual power hot water shower.

Although there is no wedding, no festive decorations, and no guests, which is a bit regrettable, they are well aware of what will happen next.

This is something they must go through, as their future has already been decided when they were sent to the Chu family.

On the contrary, Chu Shen sighs and feels unlucky under the shoulder and back massage from Chen Xiu and Chen Ying.

This kind of behavior, taking advantage of the situation and acting innocent, made even someone as gentle as Chen Xiu unable to resist giving him a few hits. She sarcastically said, "Husband, you're going to register for the Chongxue Peak tomorrow to study, and tonight there are so many little ladies serving you. It's a good thing that many people can only dream of. Why are you still sighing?"

Chen Ying nodded repeatedly, her tail wagging openly at home without any need for concealment, expressing her fluctuating emotions. She said, "Sister is right. Husband is truly experiencing both big and small fortunes before the imperial examination."

Chu Shen chuckled and playfully rubbed her furry cat ears, making the little lady blush like blood and her eyes watery, but he still refused to take it further. He said, "Hehe, this is your punishment, letting you know my intentions but still deliberately teasing me."

Chen Ying instinctively let out a "meow" sound, collapsed to the ground, and looked at him resentfully before hurriedly adjusting her skirt and leaving in embarrassment.

Chen Xiu, on the other hand, laughed uncontrollably, patting Chu Shen and said, "Husband, you're so naughty, actually using cultivation techniques to tease your sister."

Chu Shen pulled her into his arms and said, "You're also restless. Where did that delicate and timid little sister go? How come today you've learned to be sarcastic towards your husband?"

Chen Xiu blushed and quickly begged for forgiveness, saying, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

In reality, Chu Shen didn't really want to take in mortal women anymore, except for the system rewards. Mortal women had a big gap compared to female cultivators in terms of physique and other aspects. Not only could they not satisfy him, but taking them in would also require taking care of them. Taking care of them for a long time would lead to emotional attachment. Moreover, not everyone had enough talent for cultivation, even with the system's forced guidance. The difficulties of the cultivation path were not something ordinary people could understand.

For someone like Chen Xiu, who followed him from the beginning, her progress in cultivation was not as good as Chen Ying and others with better aptitude. He had to spend more time with her to earn system rewards, worrying about her future.

But if he took in too many mortal women, how many people would he have to earn system rewards for? How many times would he have to do it to be enough?

Thinking about this, he felt a bit annoyed.

"Knowing that you're wrong is good enough. Just wait, in a couple of days, I, your husband, will definitely satisfy you and make you pregnant again, so you won't be bored every day."

After whispering sweet words into Chen Xiu's ear and seeing her and Chen Ying running away with their skirts held down, he laughed heartily and turned to walk towards the back room.

The daughter of the county magistrate and several other wealthy women had already cleaned up and were waiting for him.

Just like when Zhao Chulu and Hu Chuanshan entered the door, the women were not placed in separate rooms, but were whispering together, feeling a bit uneasy, a bit excited, and imagining the future.

When they saw him come in, their faces turned red one by one.

As usual, Chu Shen first looked at the system panel and sighed secretly.

These women, although their aptitude was not too bad, it was not particularly good either.

The one with the highest spiritual talent was the county magistrate's daughter, called "Fang Wenjuan". She had a flourishing spiritual talent, and the phrase "beautiful on the outside, intelligent on the inside" in her destiny profile indicated that she would be a good wife and mother. In the mortal world, she would definitely be a good daughter-in-law. However, in the cultivation world, she could only be considered to have some cultivation potential, but not of the highest level.

The other women were even worse than her, except for a daughter of a military general from Nanping City named "Li Lingyu", who also had a flourishing spiritual talent. They were all average.

It seems that he could only rely on their beauty.

Chu Shen slowly walked towards the shy women, dimming the bright spiritual power lamp with his hand. This small courtyard became lively throughout the whole night amidst their shy exclamations.
