Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 117 The Masked Woman

Chapter 117: Masked Heroine (12)

Shen Qingyi rushed out.

Holding a long sword with a green scabbard, she intended to behead the executive who had slapped the widow in front of her.

Her speed was extremely fast.

In just a moment, she had instantly covered a distance of over a hundred meters, leaving only about ten meters between her and the executive.

However!

Just as she was about to swing her sword to kill the executive!

Chen An reacted in time, directly using his nearly proficient-level Immobilization Technique on her.

Almost at the same time.

Shen Qingyi was instantly frozen in place, unable to move at all.

The executive in front of the fruit stall sensed that someone seemed to be behind him and felt a tightness in his heart, wanting to turn around and take a look.

Fortunately, Chen An acted quickly, once again using the Immobilization Technique and Sleep Aid Technique on him, immobilizing him in place and causing him to fall into a drowsy state, losing consciousness.

Then, before the widow in front of the fruit stall could react, Chen An swiftly stepped forward and reached Shen Qingyi's back, skillfully lifting her up in his arms, then quickly flashing back into the house and closing the courtyard gate.

The whole process was completed in one go.

It was only a blink of an eye.

...

Inside the house.

In the hall.

At this time, Chen An and Shen Qingyi were the only two people in the spacious hall, as the wife and daughters were in their rooms.

Shen Qingyi was still immobilized, feeling incredulous.

I, who have reached the fourth level of Foundation Building, was actually immobilized by Chen An, who is only at the third level of Foundation Building?

Moreover, this Immobilization Technique was taught to him by me not long ago!

He just learned it recently!

Why can he use the Immobilization Technique to immobilize me?

Shen Qingyi questioned her life choices.

Chen An was unaware of what Shen Qingyi was thinking at the moment, and quickly released her from the Immobilization Technique with a thought.

Shen Qingyi could move again, and her gaze towards Chen An changed significantly.

In the past, Chen An was nothing more than a insignificant low-level cultivator in her eyes.

Now, Chen An not only took advantage of his outstanding appearance to have his way with her, but his previously weak strength had also caught up and easily suppressed her.

And all of this happened in just one year.

It was simply unbelievable.

It was simply unimaginable.

Chen An ignored Shen Qingyi's strange gaze and spoke with a slightly reproachful tone, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you were too impulsive just now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi remembered the scene where the executive had assaulted the widow earlier and became filled with anger.

"That executive deserves to die!" she said with a tone full of killing intent.

"Executives should be killed, but have you ever thought about the consequences of killing him?"

Chen An looked into Shen Qingyi's eyes and then spoke with great seriousness, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this is Red Cedar Forest, not the previous Bamboo Leaf Forest. There are people here who are stronger than you everywhere. If you kill the executive, can you handle the consequences with the Red Fire Gang?"

Shen Qingyi didn't care at all and said, "I can't handle it. I can just die."

Upon hearing this, Chen An couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

His tone was no longer calm, but he directly called out Shen Qingyi's name and accused her, "Shen Qingyi, you are too selfish."

"You killed the executive, and you enjoyed it."

"But have you ever thought that you are currently living in my house? Your actions will affect me and my family. Have you considered the feelings of me and my wife and daughter?"

Chen An's words were heart-wrenching, and Shen Qingyi, who had calmed down, felt a wave of shame in her heart.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and apologized with a tone full of remorse, "Master Chen, I didn't consider it. I will move out now and won't affect your family."

After speaking, she turned and walked towards her own room to pack her things and leave.

Chen An followed her, walked up behind her, and lifted her up, throwing her onto the bed, pressing her down. He looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you willing to leave this home?"

"I don't want to, but I have no choice."

Shen Qingyi didn't dare to meet Chen An's gaze and turned her face away.

Chen An didn't say anything and kissed Shen Qingyi while looking at her eyes.

After a long time, he stopped and asked, "Why do you have no choice?"

Shen Qingyi's face was hot, her breathing heavy, and she hadn't fully recovered from the almost suffocating kiss just now.

After catching her breath for a moment, she looked into Chen An's eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "Master Chen, I can't help it. I can't help but intervene when I see injustice and evil. If I continue to live in this home, I will inevitably bring trouble to you and your wife and daughter, just like today."

"Then stay at home less and turn a blind eye to what you don't see."

"But I can't do that."

"It's okay, I will help you do it."

Chen An said as he pulled out a belt from Shen Qingyi's waist. Instead of persuading her with words, he chose to convince her with actions.

Shen Qingyi enjoyed it and did not refuse.

After about an hour.

Chen An looked at Shen Qingyi in his arms, reached out to tidy up her slightly messy hair, and spoke gently, "Fellow Daoist Shen, can you do it now?"

"I... I don't know."

Shen Qingyi was filled with conflict in her heart. Deep down, she wanted to continue punishing evil, but she didn't want to leave this home and lose Chen An's affection every day.

Chen An fell silent and then said, "The beginning is always the hardest. You should give it a try first. Maybe you can do it."

"Okay."

Shen Qingyi responded softly and chose to comply.

...

Time passed in an instant.

Half a month later.

In Wen Zhiyun's room.

Chen An was using his divine sense to investigate the condition of the child in Wen Zhiyun's abdomen.

"Husband, how is the child?"

"Everything is normal."

"But it's still normal, why is it that after 11 months of pregnancy, there are still no signs of labor for this child?"

Wen Zhiyun was really anxious, so anxious that she hadn't slept well for several days.

But her anxiety was useless.

These days, Chen An checked on the baby in her belly every day.

But every time, it showed that everything was normal, and they couldn't find the reason why labor hadn't started.

"Yuner, don't worry too much. Maybe our child's constitution is special and needs more time to develop in the womb."

Seeing Wen Zhiyun still worried, Chen An had to comfort her like this.

Listening to Chen An's comforting words, Wen Zhiyun's anxiety was not relieved at all.

In these past few days, Chen An had been giving her the same reassurance every day, and she had already become immune to it.

In the current situation, as long as the child in her belly didn't come out, she couldn't be at ease.

"Yuner, you haven't been sleeping well these past few days, rest early."

"I can't sleep."

"It's okay, let me hold you while you sleep."

Chen An helped Wen Zhiyun adjust her lying position and held her in bed.

After a while.

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun still couldn't fall asleep, he used a Sleep Aid Technique to help her fall asleep quickly.

After leaving the room.

Chen An left home.

He was going to the market in Wenli Street to sell the small pills he had been refining during this time, and exchange them for spirit stones that could be used for cultivation.

On the way flying on his sword.

Chen An, who had extremely keen senses, heard many residents discussing the same thing along the way.

They said that there was a masked righteous person who had recently appeared in Hundred Herbs Lane, specifically helping the residents who were oppressed by the Red Fire Gang.

Every time they took action, they made the members of the Red Fire Gang flee in fear, which was very satisfying to watch.

Chen An felt that the actions of this masked righteous person were similar to Shen Qingyi.

For a moment, he had some doubts, could it be Shen Qingyi?

But then he thought that Shen Qingyi had been staying at home peacefully for the past half month, so it probably wasn't her.

Soon.

Chen An arrived at the Qin Trading Company.

As soon as he landed on his sword, the female employee in the shop came out to greet him with a warm smile.

"Fellow Daoist, what a rare guest."

Since the last time he bought the formation array, Chen An hadn't visited again.

This female employee had been looking forward to his return.

After all, he had been quite generous before, often spending more than one high-grade spirit stone.

After entering the shop with Chen An.

The female employee immediately poured him a cup of spirit tea and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, what would you like to buy this time?"

"Fellow Daoist is a valued customer of our Qin Trading Company, so we can offer certain discounts."

"I'm not here to buy things this time."

"Then, Fellow Daoist..."

"I'm here to sell pills."

"Fellow Daoist is an alchemist?"

"Yes, a second-tier alchemist."

"Wow!"

The female employee gasped in surprise, obviously not expecting Chen An to be a second-tier alchemist.

Chen An didn't waste time with her and went straight to the point, "I have a total of 50 bottles of small pills here, with 20 pills in each bottle. How much can I sell them for?"

"I need to appraise them to determine the exact price."

The female employee looked at the medicine bottles that Chen An had placed on the tea table and said in a pleasant voice.

After saying that, she skillfully opened the bottle and appraised the quality of the pills based on their color, taste, and medicinal properties.

During the appraisal, she didn't neglect Chen An as a customer and continued to chat with him with a smile.

After a brief conversation.

Chen An learned that the female cultivator was not an employee of the Qin Trading Company.

She was actually the manager of the branch, a young lady from the Qin Family, a Gold Core family in the Red Cedar Forest.

This young lady was currently in charge of this branch and responsible for making profits for the family.

"Master Chen, after my appraisal, the quality of these 50 bottles of small pills is quite good. I can purchase them for one high-grade spirit stone each."

The manager, who Chen An had mistaken for a female employee, smiled and gave him this purchase price after examining the quality of 30 bottles of small pills.

This purchase price met Chen An's expectations.

So he didn't negotiate and chose to sell them directly.

In no time, Chen An received one high-grade spirit stone from the manager.

He didn't waste any more time and flew back home on his sword.

On the way.

Chen An still heard many residents discussing the masked righteous person below.

This time, he heard more information.

This masked righteous person was a female cultivator.

Wearing a white silk robe.

Her swordsmanship was extremely advanced.

When she intervened in unfair situations, she only fought but didn't kill, aiming to teach a lesson.

"A female cultivator?"
