Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 115: Wen Zhiyun's Child (12)

The Red Fire Gang appeared.

The previously ownerless Hundred Herbs Lane now had an owner.

All the residents felt uneasy.

They began to discuss among themselves.

Two middle-grade spirit stones per month was too high of a burden for the low-level Independent Cultivators of Hundred Herbs Lane.

Although the cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Domain had higher incomes than those in the Great Thousand Domain.

But to earn two middle-grade spirit stones per month, one would at least have to be in the late Qi Refining stage.

So, for a while, the entire Hundred Herbs Lane was in chaos.

Many low-level cultivators who couldn't afford the protection fee sought roommates.

Female cultivators with some looks even became concubines for others.

Male cultivators who couldn't become concubines sent their wives and daughters to become concubines in order to survive in this difficult world.

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month had passed.

At night.

Chen An was in the room with Wen Zhiyun, skillfully giving her a massage.

Wen Zhiyun liked to have her feet massaged, so she asked Chen An to massage her more. Every time he pressed down, she would let out a muffled groan, her delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed, unable to tell if she was uncomfortable or comfortable.

After enjoying the massage, Wen Zhiyun would also reciprocate and serve Chen An.

After more than an hour.

Wen Zhiyun was a little tired, leaning against Chen An's chest with her big belly.

She gently stroked her nine-month-pregnant and high-raised belly, looking at Chen An with love in her eyes, and asked, "Husband, there is only one more month until the full ten months of pregnancy. Are you looking forward to the birth of the child?"

"I have been dreaming every night of putting the child to sleep. Do you think I'm looking forward to it?" Chen An sat against the headboard, playing with the strands of hair falling on Wen Zhiyun's chest, and smiled as he looked down at her in his arms.

Wen Zhiyun felt happy when she heard this, feeling Chen An's love for the child in her belly.

But soon, she became worried.

Now that the Red Fire Gang suddenly appeared in Hundred Herbs Lane.

They demanded a high protection fee.

This reminded her of the Bamboo Leaf Gang in Bamboo Leaf Forest, and she was worried that her hard-earned peaceful life would be disrupted.

"Husband, there is still half a month left to pay the protection fee to the Red Fire Gang. Do you think Hundred Herbs Lane will become as chaotic as Bamboo Leaf Forest?" Wen Zhiyun raised her face and asked Chen An, feeling very uneasy about it.

If she was still alone, she wouldn't have this feeling. She could just find another place to survive.

But now, thinking about the child in her belly, she really didn't want to wander around for survival anymore.

She just wanted to live peacefully in one place.

"Don't worry, Bamboo Leaf Forest was chaotic because of the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Mountain Villa. The days in Hundred Herbs Lane won't be as chaotic as Bamboo Leaf Forest." Chen An comforted her in a soft voice.

Although he said that, he wasn't optimistic about it.

Back then, Bamboo Leaf Forest only had the Bamboo Leaf Gang, there was only external chaos and no internal chaos.

But now, the sects and families in Red Cedar Forest were complex and intertwined, internal chaos was inevitable.

Today, the Red Fire Gang targeted Hundred Herbs Lane, who knows if other gangs or families will also target it tomorrow, and then there will be a big fight with the Red Fire Gang. It's hard to say.

To survive in such a situation, one must have strong personal strength.

After more than half an hour.

Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun, who was already asleep in his arms, gently kissed her on the face, covered her with the blanket, and quickly got dressed and left the room.

He didn't go back to his own room to sleep, but went straight to Shen Qingyi's room.

After knocking on the door and getting permission to enter, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the room.

Chen An saw Shen Qingyi on the bed.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing as usual. She was wearing a fitted silk robe, perfectly highlighting her curvaceous figure, full and enticing. She looked very tempting.

"You have the scent of other women on you, go wash up, otherwise, I'll resist it in my heart." Shen Qingyi slightly furrowed her eyebrows as she saw Chen An sit down by the bed and prepare to touch her.

She didn't dislike Wen Zhiyun, she just had some cleanliness habits.

Even if it was the scent of Song Huaying or Gu Xinyue, she would feel the same resistance.

However, Chen An ignored her and embraced her with Wen Zhiyun's scent, softly saying to her, "Get used to it, there will be more in the future, it's inevitable and unavoidable."

"I am not your concubine."

Shen Qingyi was a little dissatisfied. She just wanted to have a normal relationship with Chen An and didn't want to play all these strange games.

Chen An smiled and didn't say anything. He had a thought and put away the night pearl used for illumination on the bedside. He started to gently undress Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi didn't want to and asked Chen An to use a cleansing talisman before doing anything.

But after refusing, seeing that Chen An still insisted on embracing her with Wen Zhiyun's scent, she reluctantly gave in to him.

After more than two hours.

The room returned to calm.

There were only two heavy breaths, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.

"There won't be a next time!"

Shen Qingyi said to Chen An with a voice full of resentment, turning her back to him.

Chen An acted as if he didn't hear and lay on his side, embracing her from behind. He smelled the faint fragrance from her hair and softly said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, with your graceful figure and stunning appearance, it would be a waste not to have a daughter to inherit your beauty."

"Don't even think about it!"

Shen Qingyi's tone was firm. She didn't let her mind get dizzy and comply with Chen An just because it was late at night and they were alone together. Her mind was clear all along.

Chen An didn't say anything, remained silent for a moment, and then said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Shen, let's get married."

Shen Qingyi fell silent.

After a while, she said with a hint of resentment in her voice, "Master Chen, I really misjudged you. I always thought you were a gentleman who respected a woman's wishes. Now it seems that you are just a fake gentleman who knows how to hide."

"I never said I was a gentleman."

Chen An tightened his embrace on Shen Qingyi and shamelessly smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, actually all men are the same. Once they taste the sweetness, they will want to take more. I'm just following my heart."

"It's your business if you follow your heart, but I will never be your concubine, let alone give birth to your child."

"Alright, alright, no need to give birth."

Chen An stroked Shen Qingyi's hair and said, no longer discussing these matters with her.

After all, it was inevitable. He would agree with her for now, and as time went on, she would gradually fall in love with him.

By then, even if he didn't mention it, Shen Qingyi would probably take the initiative to say that she wanted to get married and have children.

Chen An thought confidently.

In the late night that followed, the two of them no longer indulged in intimacy, but instead talked about the situation of the Red Fire Gang.

Analyzing the future situation of Hundred Herbs Lane and whether the Red Fire Gang would become another Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Chen An analyzed everything in a calm tone.

On the contrary, Shen Qingyi seemed a bit angry and openly expressed her desire to kill the members of the Red Fire Gang.

Because in the past half month, she had witnessed the Red Fire Gang oppressing the residents outside.

Eating without paying, taking things without permission.

Frequently extorting money from shop owners, otherwise causing trouble.

When they saw attractive female cultivators, even if they were married, they would harass them.

They would even directly harass them in front of their husbands, seemingly enjoying the inexplicable pleasure of provoking the husband.

If it weren't for her just arriving and needing to restrain herself, Shen Qingyi really wanted to kill all these gangsters from the Red Fire Gang.

Feeling Shen Qingyi's anger in his arms, Chen An quickly tried to calm her down, so she wouldn't go out and cause unnecessary trouble by punishing evil and promoting good.

The current Red Cedar Forest was not the same as the previous Bamboo Leaf Forest. There were powerful Gold Core cultivators present.

With Shen Qingyi's current cultivation at the fourth level of Foundation Building, she couldn't afford to recklessly go and punish evil.

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.

During this period, Chen An diligently cultivated and his cultivation at the third level of Foundation Building became more stable.

At the same time, he persisted in learning spells from Shen Qingyi every day.

The most useful one he learned was a spell called "Heavenly Guardian Body".

This spell could only be learned by cultivators with explicit gold spiritual roots.

Similar to the golden bell shield and iron cloth shirt from his previous life, but a super-enhanced version.

As long as the proficiency was high enough, it could withstand the full force attack of a cultivator one small realm higher.

On this day, Chen An woke up early and asked Shen Qingyi to test the results of his learning of the "Heavenly Guardian Body" in the courtyard.

During these days, he gained a lot of experience from his daughter Chen Yuejian, successfully raising the proficiency of the "Heavenly Guardian Body" to the proficient realm, and he was looking forward to the defensive power of this spell.

"Master Chen, I'm going to attack now."

"Shen Fellow Daoist, come on, don't hold back, attack me with all your strength."

After a brief exchange, the two no longer wasted time and began to test the results of the "Heavenly Guardian Body" technique.

Chen An defended, Shen Qingyi attacked.

The first strike, Shen Qingyi used less than fifty percent of her strength, afraid of hurting Chen An.

Chen An was unharmed and said, "Continue."

Shen Qingyi launched another attack.

The second strike, sixty percent of her strength.

Chen An stood firm.

The third strike...

The fourth strike...

The fifth strike...

The sixth strike, full strength!

Chen An remained unmoved.

Looking at Chen An, who remained unharmed, Shen Qingyi was filled with doubt about life.

She couldn't understand and asked, "You're just an alchemist, why is your physical body so strong?"

"No, my physical body is average, it's the Heavenly Guardian Body technique that is strong."

"But you just learned the Heavenly Guardian Body technique."

"Yes, I just learned it, but I have already cultivated it to the second level of proficiency."

"?"

Shen Qingyi thought she had misheard.

She wondered how Chen An, whom she had only taught the Heavenly Guardian Body technique for less than ten days, could have cultivated it to the second level. After all, it took her more than twenty years of hard practice to reach the second level. It took a whole year just to reach the first level of basic proficiency.

Seeing her shocked expression, Chen An couldn't help but tease her, "Shen Fellow Daoist, with my talent, even if you marry me as a concubine, you won't lose out at all."

"Arrogant!"

Shen Qingyi rarely cursed at someone, then turned and walked away, returning to her room and not coming out again.

Chen An thought for a moment, then followed her into her room.

In the blink of an eye, time went from the dawn of Breaking Dawn to the afternoon of sunset.

[Swordsmanship +1, Gold Spirit Root Aptitude +1] x69

Chen An had just come out of Shen Qingyi's room and glanced at the pop-up message, feeling no fluctuations in his heart.

He had seen it too many times, it had become commonplace, and it was difficult to stir up any emotions.

Now, the only thing that could stir his emotions was breaking through the 5-star level of marital affection or raising the level of father-daughter affection, and then receiving a reward from the system.

After dinner, Song Huaying pulled Chen An to the bathroom to take a bath together.

After the bath, they went to the room to deepen their affection.

In the room, Song Huaying was too tired to move and asked weakly, "Husband, Wen Sister's child is about to be born, have you thought about what name to give the child?"

"I have entrusted the naming of the child to Wen Sister, you can ask her yourself if you're curious tomorrow."

Chen An said with his eyes closed.

Song Huaying immediately became jealous when she heard this.

She pouted her rosy cherry lips and said unhappily, "Husband, you're biased, you love Wen Sister more than me!"

"I treat you all equally."

"No, you don't!"

"I do."

"Then I want to name my second child myself in the future!"

"No problem."

Chen An agreed without hesitation.

The name of the child didn't matter as long as it had his surname.

As for the rest, as long as his wives and concubines liked it.

Song Huaying was stunned. She didn't expect Chen An to agree so readily. She thought she would have to act spoiled and throw a tantrum before she could have the right to name the child.

After a moment, she eagerly urged Chen An, "Husband, don't just lie there, get up and work, I want to give you another child!"

"Alright, alright, alright, let's have more children."

Chen An stood up with a helpless smile on his face and said.

Although this statement may sound biased, among the four female companions in the house, his favorite is his young wife, Song Huaying.

As long as it's a request from his young wife, he would basically agree without hesitation.

Time passes quickly.

Eyes closed, eyes opened.

The pitch-black sky outside the window has become bright.

Chen An sat up from the bed and his gaze fell on the prompt message in front of him.

[Name: Song Huaying]

[Attributes: Repaying a Favor with a Gushing Spring]

[Emotions: 4 stars (2905/12500)]

"Only 2905 points of emotional value."

"To raise the emotional level to 5 stars, there is still a long way to go."

Chen An thought to himself, then wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and covered his young wife with the blanket. He quietly got dressed and left the room.

They stayed up too late last night, and his young wife is just an ordinary person who needs more sleep. He can't wake her up now.

Leaving the room.

Freshening up.

Chen An walked towards the kitchen to see if his concubine, Gu Xinyue, was making breakfast inside. He planned to prepare something to eat.

Entering the kitchen.

Just as expected.

His concubine, Gu Xinyue, was making breakfast inside, and her back looked very virtuous.

Chen An approached her from behind, embraced her delicate body, rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder, and asked with their faces close together, "Yue'er, what kind of porridge are you cooking?"

"My husband, I'm cooking Lingfish porridge. I added Ling Ginseng, Dragon Bone Grass, and Phoenix Feather Leaves to it. It's very nourishing for the body," Gu Xinyue answered with a faint smile while stirring the porridge in the pot.

Upon hearing this, Chen An raised an eyebrow and teased her, "Lunch is nourishing, dinner is nourishing, and now even breakfast needs to be nourishing. You want every meal to be so nourishing. Do you think your husband's energy is not vigorous enough?"

"No, I just feel that our life is more abundant now, so I want to eat better at every meal."

"I don't believe it."

"Husband, it's true."

Gu Xinyue didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words and felt wronged.

Chen An smiled and lifted her up, saying, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'm already too nourished. I need to expend some energy. I can't just take in without giving out."

...

[Spiritual Perception Intensity +4] x33

Before long, everyone in the house woke up.

Chen An and Gu Xinyue brought the prepared breakfast to the hall.

The six of them sat together and began to enjoy the meal.

"Daddy, can you feed me?" Chen Yuejian slightly turned her body, raised her increasingly beautiful face, and blinked her eyes as she asked.

Chen An wanted to say yes.

But before he could speak, Song Huaying, who was sitting next to their daughter, spoke first, "Chen Yuejian, you're already so old, you should eat by yourself. Don't rely on Daddy. Eat quickly!"

Hearing his young wife say this, Chen An retracted the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He had promised his young wife.

He should consider things more from his young wife's perspective in the future.

He shouldn't spoil their daughter too much.

Chen Yuejian glanced at her father and realized that her father loved her mother more.

Just then!

The deep voice of the leader of the Red Fire Gang, coming from the Samadhi Tower located in the center of Hundred Herbs Lane, spread throughout the entire Hundred Herbs Lane like ripples in water.

"All residents of Hundred Herbs Lane, the one-month period has arrived. Please prepare the protection fee and wait at home. Someone will come soon to collect it!"
