The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 5: Taking Concubines (Seeking to Continue Reading and Collect)

After finishing their conversation, the two of them were preparing to eat.

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

Chen Ling guessed that it was likely Shen Zhen bringing someone.

The matter was only settled in the afternoon, and he had already brought someone now, indicating that his family status was worrying!

He opened the courtyard door.

The person in front of him was Shen Zhen, with a face full of blessings and a harmless smile on his face.

Beside him stood a woman in a blue dress, slightly lowering her head, her clean and white hands fidgeting uneasily.

"No wonder Madam Shen is suspicious!"

The corner of Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly.

Not only was the girl beautiful in appearance, with a well-proportioned figure, but she also exuded a sense of vitality, appearing extremely tough and capable.

"Uncle Shen, you're here!"

After inviting Shen Zhen and the girl into the house, he glanced around.

Shen Zhen was quite famous in this area. His personal visit was a confirmation for him and could even have a deterrent effect.

After all, Shen Zhen came from a prestigious family in the Foundation Building stage.

This undoubtedly had great benefits for his safety.

Seeing He Yunxiu holding a child, Shen Zhen was first stunned, then awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Chen Ling, this brat, didn't even tell me when he had a son!"

"Greetings, Uncle Shen!" He Yunxiu greeted him gracefully with a bow.

Then she warmly invited them to sit down.

Although the room was small, it was extremely clean.

Chen Ling poured them spiritual tea.

"This is a gift for the little one's introduction!"

Shen Zhen smiled and took out a jade bead from his storage bag, handing it to He Yunxiu.

"This is a Spirit Nurturing Bead, it can nourish the meridians and has a significant effect on children."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen!"

After receiving it, He Yunxiu hurriedly thanked him and said, "Uncle Shen, have you eaten? Let's eat together!"

Shen Zhen looked at the table full of meat dishes and spiritual porridge, as well as two kinds of supplementary dishes, and smiled, "Chen Ling has treated you well. Your father can rest assured!"

Just this meal alone cost more than one spiritual stone.

For a wandering cultivator, this was definitely extremely luxurious!

Even the girl next to him couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes!

Even when she lived with her father, who was in the late Qi Refining stage, in the market, they couldn't eat meat every day, and vegetables with abundant spiritual energy were even rarer and more expensive!

Her watery eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at Chen Ling.

On the way here, Shen Zhen had already explained Chen Ling's situation to her.

She didn't have high expectations for a cultivator in his thirties who had just reached the third level of Qi Refining.

But having grown up following her father's turbulent life, what she desired more was a stable life without constant worries and fears.

And now that Chen Ling had just had a child, he naturally wouldn't be fooling around or taking risks for so-called opportunities.

This actually met her expectations.

The higher Chen Ling's cultivation level, the less at ease she felt. Nowadays, most cultivators in the market were thinking of going to the Yunmeng Swamp to seek opportunities.

Who would think of marrying and taking concubines? After all, although the opportunities were good, the risks were also considerable.

If she got married and then immediately went to the Yunmeng Swamp, who would she cry to?

Moreover, since Lady Qin had expressed dissatisfaction with her, the others in the Qin family had also given her a hard time. She also wanted to leave as soon as possible!

Shen Zhen cleared his throat a few times. "Chu Yu, if you have no objections, you will be Chen Ling's wife from now on and live a good life with him."

Chu Yu weakly nodded and said, "I will follow Uncle Shen's arrangements."

Her voice was soft and sweet, extremely pleasant to the ear!

Shen Zhen nodded, then instructed Chen Ling a few more times before getting up and saying, "This matter is settled. You two should live a good life from now on!"

"Also, those ten magical treasures should be obtained quickly, don't delay!"

"Yes, Uncle Shen!" Chen Ling replied.

A moment.

Chen Ling saw Shen Zhen off at the door.

Before leaving.

Shen Zhen asked again, "Are you planning to have a banquet?"

Chen Ling shook his head, "Given the current situation, let's skip the banquet. I still need to make good use of my time and complete the task Uncle Shen gave me!"

Shen Zhen nodded and patted Chen Ling's shoulder. He had the expression of a teachable child.

Then, he left with light steps.

Watching his relieved figure.

Chen Ling shook his head inwardly. This is the rhythm of not having to kneel and scrub the washboard at home.

But thinking about it, being a son-in-law is not easy!

Closing the door.

Outside was pitch black, in stark contrast to the warm and bright room.

Today, he spent a few pieces of fragmented spirit to specially add bright crystal lights to his home.

Now that he has a child, the light at night is too dim and inconvenient.

In the past, he calculated his days piece by piece of fragmented spirit, but now that he has become a middle-grade alchemist, he won't be so tight on money in the future.

After entering the room, his gaze quietly swept over the panel and found that the incense value was still 0.

"What's going on?" Chen Ling frowned, not understanding the situation.

Didn't Chu Yu already agree to be his wife?

"What's your name?"

"Replying, sister, my name is Chu Yu."

"You haven't eaten yet, hurry up and eat together. The food is cold!"

"We are family now, no need to be polite!"

He Yunxiu was quite generous and took the initiative to invite Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu was still a little uneasy, the situation was not as awkward as Chen Ling had imagined.

"Do we have to gain incense value only after the wedding night?"

Chen Ling pondered in his heart, then smiled and said, "What Yunxiu said is correct, Chu Daoist, you have entered my home, and from now on, we are one family."

"But there is one thing I need to clarify in advance. Yunxiu is my wife, and you are a concubine."

He Yunxiu and him were a couple who had gone through hardships together, so he had to give her this status!

Chu Yu obediently nodded.

He Yunxiu glanced at Chen Ling, her eyes filled with gratitude.

After these years of getting along, she naturally understood that although Chen Ling was a bit timid, he was a person who valued emotions and righteousness.

Chu Yu looked at the affectionate atmosphere between Chen Ling and his wife, which made her feel more at ease. Among cultivators, it was becoming increasingly rare to see those who had both love and righteousness.

"Chu Daoist, husband, let's have dinner first!"

After He Yunxiu added a set of bowls and chopsticks for Chu Yu, she smiled.

Chu Yu looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and her appetite was already aroused.

After finishing the meal.

He Yunxiu asked Chen Ling to help take care of the child, while she tidied up and arranged the room.

The master bedroom belonged to her since she was taking care of the child. There was also a small room in the courtyard for storing miscellaneous items. With a little tidying up, it could be used.

Chu Yu helped clean up the dishes and soon integrated into this family.

After finishing, the two women sat on the edge of the bed, coaxing the child and whispering to each other.

"Husband, tonight is a joyous occasion, so don't draw any more prohibitions!"

"The room is also ready, you two can go now!"

Seeing Chen Ling about to go to the cultivation room, He Yunxiu gave him a white look and said.

Hearing about tonight, Chu Yu blushed and showed a shy expression on her face.

Chen Ling nodded and immediately led Chu Yu into the room.

He was also eager to gain these 20 incense values!
