Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 156 Begging Humble (22)

Chen An looked at the prompt message that popped up in front of him.

At first, he was slightly stunned.

Then he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

"Any creature that consumes my blood will forever become my servant, unable to rebel against me. Isn't this ancient secret technique meant for me to deal with that fox demon?" Chen An thought to himself, becoming more and more excited.

But soon, he calmed down.

This ancient forbidden technique has triggering conditions and only works on creatures with cultivation levels lower than the user.

And that fox demon's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of Gold Core, just one step away from reaching the fifth layer of Gold Core.

In other words, for Blood Essence Enslavement to take effect on that fox demon, my cultivation level must at least break through to the fifth layer of Gold Core.

But currently, my cultivation level is only at the first layer of Gold Core, still five small realms away from the fifth layer of Gold Core.

To be honest, this is not a goal that can be achieved in the short term.

Unless my second daughter learns how to cultivate Qi.

And if my eldest daughter successfully gathers Qi and becomes a Qi Refining cultivator.

Perhaps, at that time, I can rely on the rewards from the system to directly break through to the fifth layer of Gold Core.

Not long after, everyone finished breakfast.

Everyone quickly went about their own business.

Chen An entered his room and tried to use the ancient forbidden technique, Blood Essence Enslavement.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, instinctively mobilizing the blood in his body, gathering it on the index finger of his right hand, and concentrating his mind to condense a drop of blood.

This drop of blood emerged from his fingertip, quietly suspended like a burning flame, filled with the power of Qi and bloodline, giving off a somewhat sinister feeling.

"I feel a bit dizzy..."

"My limbs are starting to feel weak..."

"My complexion is gradually turning pale..."

Chen An murmured as he looked at himself in the mirror.

Blood Essence Enslavement truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient forbidden technique.

Just condensing a drop of blood almost drained my entire being.

It seems that this forbidden technique is a case of sacrificing oneself to kill a thousand enemies.

Thinking of this, Chen An absorbed the drop of blood back into his body, allowing it to replenish his Qi and blood.

Soon after, his body completely recovered.

"I almost forgot to dig rooms for my daughters."

Chen An suddenly remembered this matter, got off the bed, and left the room to dig new rooms for his two precious daughters.

The rooms must be spacious.

They must be beautiful.

I must not let my daughters feel wronged.

After spending some time digging the rooms, Chen An brought his wife and daughters to participate in the room decoration work.

Before long, a brand new room was created.

The two daughters looked very satisfied.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already evening.

The two daughters were about to go to bed.

Tonight was their first night not sleeping with their mother.

Chen An kept his word and entered the two daughters' room right away to tell them a bedtime story.

Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun were a bit worried, so they came to see if their daughters could sleep comfortably.

On the bed.

A very large bed.

The two pairs of mother and daughter sat together, silently waiting for their husband/father to tell them a bedtime story.

Originally, it was only meant for the two daughters to listen, but Song Huaying and Wen Zhiyun also wanted to listen, so they sat on the bed together.

Although this went against the principle of the two daughters sleeping independently, since it was their first night, Chen An didn't strictly demand too much.

Soon.

Under the expectant gaze of the two pairs of mother and daughter.

Chen An began to tell the story.

"A long, long time ago, in an unknown small town, there was a very famous private school."

"This was a school with top scholars, and many of them became top scholars in the imperial examinations."

"One day, the teacher of the private school called his three smartest students and gave each of them some money, asking them to buy the same thing to fill the entire school."

"The first student, after receiving the money, turned around and left the school. He went to the market outside and bought a large amount of cotton, intending to fill the school with it, but unfortunately, he failed."

"The second student stood still and thought for a while after receiving the money. Then his eyes lit up, and he went outside to buy many candles, thinking that the candlelight would shine brightly and illuminate the entire school. However, he found that there were always shadows in the school."

"The third student, after receiving the money, smirked and said that as long as he had hands, he could do it. He asked the teacher to stay in the school and wait for him to perform his real skills. Then he arrogantly left the school without looking back."

When the story reached this point, Chen An looked at the two pairs of mother and daughter in front of him and smiled, asking, "So here comes the question: if you were the third student in this story, what would you buy to fill the school?"

With the question thrown out, Wen Zhiyun, Song Huaying, and Chen Yuejian all started to think.

As for the remaining silly second daughter, Chen Yike, she was rolling around on the bed, showing no intention of using her brain at all.

Chen An looked at her helplessly and shook his head. It seemed that his second daughter could only be a brute.

It seemed a bit difficult to bring some intelligence into her.

After about half an hour.

Chen An interrupted the thoughts of the three and looked at them, saying, "Time's up, tell me your answers, who wants to go first?"

"..."

After a while, but the room remained quiet, and no one answered.

Obviously, none of them could come up with an answer.

Or rather, none of them could come up with a reasonable answer.

Chen An looked at his clever and smart wife, and with high hopes, he asked, "Yinger, do you have an answer?"

Song Huaying shook her head and said, "Husband, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't think of an answer."

Her delicate face was filled with a look of frustration, and for the first time, she doubted her own intelligence.

Seeing this, Chen An could only turn to Wen Zhiyun beside him and asked, "Zhiyun, what about you?"

Wen Zhiyun didn't even think about it and shook her head, saying, "Husband, if Yinger can't answer this question, then I definitely can't either."

With a final glimmer of hope, Chen An turned his gaze to his eldest daughter and asked, "Xiaoyuejian, what about you?"

"Daddy, this question is so difficult, I can't think of an answer," Chen Yuejian said, furrowing her delicate eyebrows.

Hmm, the whole army is defeated... Chen An expected this result, but he still felt somewhat disappointed.

It seems that my wife and daughters are not good at riddles.

It may be related to the environment of this era.

This is a feudal era, and most people's thinking is limited, making it difficult to break out of fixed thought patterns.

If it were a surfer from the 21st century, they would probably solve the problem instantly.

"Husband, what is the answer? Please reveal it quickly, I'm getting anxious," Song Huaying, who has a curious nature, couldn't wait to know the answer, feeling uneasy.

Wen Zhiyun was also curious and urged, "Husband, please reveal the answer quickly."

Chen Yuejian didn't say anything, but from the way she stared at her father with her eyes, it was likely that she, like her two mothers, was eager to know the answer.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyike hasn't asked yet," Chen An smiled and said.

Following the principle of involving everyone in the room, he looked at his second daughter, who was rolling around on the bed, and asked her, "Xiaoyike, did you hear Daddy's question just now?"

"I heard it," Chen Yike replied while rolling.

Chen An tapped her with his hand, asking her to stop rolling, and then asked, "Xiaoyike, if you were the third student, what would you buy to fill the private school?"

Chen Yike lay on the bed, supporting her small round face with her hands. Her two short legs behind her kept moving restlessly. She answered with a smile, "If I were the third student, I would take the little money and go to the market to buy spirit cakes to eat."

As soon as they heard their second daughter's words, the father, mother, and sisters couldn't help but laugh, saying that she was really a foodie.

But in the next moment, the silly-looking Chen Yike said something astonishing, shocking her father, mother, and sisters.

She smacked her lips and couldn't help but drool, saying, "If I took the little money that the teacher gave me to buy spirit cakes, but the teacher was still waiting for me to come back to the private school, and waited for a whole day without seeing me return, and finally found out that I had used the little money to buy spirit cakes, the teacher's disappointment would fill the entire private school."

Father: "???"

Mother: "???"

Song Niang: "???"

Sister: "???"

After a moment of reaction.

Wen Zhiyun hugged her silly daughter, excitedly saying, "My precious daughter is not silly!"

"She is a genius!"

"She is a great fool-like genius!"

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On this day.

Chen An has successfully learned how to refine all the third-grade pill formulas he bought from the Lu's Trading Company last time.

At the same time, he also refined a lot of pills for sale and to assist his wives and daughters in their cultivation.

With the help of some third-grade pills, except for Shen Qingyi who is still stuck at the same level, the cultivation of the other three wives has improved significantly.

Song Huaying's cultivation has advanced from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level.

Gu Xinyue has also achieved the same level.

As for Wen Zhiyun, after nearly ten days of seclusion and with the help of dozens of Qi Gathering Pills, combined with her years of hard cultivation experience, she successfully broke through to the Foundation Building stage.

On that day, the family of seven celebrated in the underground tunnel.

Little Chen Yike ate so much at the dining table that he almost vomited.

Wen Zhiyun, on the other hand, was kept in bed by Chen An, realizing that she, who had just broken through to the Foundation Building stage, was no match for her husband, who had reached the Gold Core stage in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Chen An remembered Jiu Ji in the cave.

It had been almost a month since he last visited her.

Hmm, it was time to go and see her.

Thinking this, Chen An informed his wives and then flew on his sword to Jiu Ji's location.

In just a moment, he arrived at the deserted mountain and slowly descended in front of the cave entrance.

He walked inside.

In the deepest part of the cave, he saw Jiu Ji.

At this moment, Jiu Ji's mental state was worrying due to being trapped in this dark cave for a long time.

Her face was pale, her eyes lifeless, and she seemed depressed.

Her appearance was quite pitiful.

However, Chen An felt no emotional response to this and did not think she was pitiful.

Compared to those Independent Cultivators who died tragically for survival, this fox demon was much luckier.

He wouldn't automatically put on many filters just because this fox demon was beautiful like a Celestial Immortal.

In these matters, Chen An remained rational and calm.

He was not easily swayed by beauty.

And the reason he had such good resistance to beauty was thanks to the support of the Sage's Art behind him.

"How do you feel?"

Chen An walked to Jiu Ji's side and squatted down, reaching out to poke her once beautiful but now somewhat dirty face.

Jiu Ji seemed unaware that Chen An had come and squatted in front of her.

But as soon as she heard Chen An's voice, she became excited, quickly moved her body to sit up, and looked at Chen An with tears in her eyes, pleading,

"Sir, I beg you, please let me go home?"

"I can swear to the heavens, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will completely settle our grievances, and from then on, we won't cross paths again!"

"And, after I return home, I will bring various treasures from my grandmother to give to you!"
