Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 159 Persuading the Concubines (12)

[Fire Spirit Root Talent +4] x38

"It's all your fault. I just finished taking a bath and got dirty again."

Wen Zhiyun lay on the bed, breathing slightly, and turned her head to look at the culprit beside her. Her charming face, like a ripe peach, was full of complaints.

She was getting more and more angry at Chen An's behavior of constantly messing with her regardless of her wishes. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Unable to control her anger, she lifted her right leg and kicked Chen An hard.

"Do you have to do that?" Chen An rubbed his lower back where he was kicked and said to Wen Zhiyun, "If you break my back, you'll be a widow."

"Then I might as well break it, so that the three of us sisters won't be tortured by you every day." Wen Zhiyun grumbled.

Chen An couldn't be bothered with this spoiled concubine. He took out a cleansing talisman and lightly patted it on her body, then turned over and closed his eyes, facing away from her, to go to sleep.

He hadn't slept for over a month and needed a moment of proper snoring.

Seeing her husband ignoring her, Wen Zhiyun became somewhat unhappy.

She gently kicked his lower back with her beautiful foot and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Chen, why are you sleeping with your back to me? Is it because my face is not pretty enough or because your standards are too high?"

After speaking, she reached out and pulled his arm, sounding spoiled, "If you want to sleep, sleep facing me. Otherwise, don't sleep on my bed."

This Comrade Wen really has a lot of demands...

Chen An muttered to himself and obediently turned back to sleep, facing Wen Zhiyun, satisfying the demands of this spoiled concubine.

Seeing her husband obediently complying, Wen Zhiyun felt content.

She moved closer to Chen An and said in a slightly coquettish tone,

"Lift your hand."

"Why?"

"To sleep, what else?"

Seeing no response from Chen An, Wen Zhiyun took matters into her own hands and lifted Chen An's arm, then moved her body into his embrace, letting Chen An hold her as they slept.

Soon, both of them fell asleep.

However, they didn't sleep for long before Chen An sat up energetically from the bed.

He had slept for a little over an hour.

That was enough.

Leaving aside everything else, he could at least go without sleep for over a month and still maintain full energy every day.

This was the power of cultivating the Gold Core stage.

He got dressed and left the room.

Chen An didn't go to the alchemy room to study the refining of third-grade pills, nor did he go to other rooms to spend time with his other three concubines.

Instead, he returned to his own room.

He came to the bed.

Leaned against the window.

Skillfully sat down and began to cultivate.

Just now, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his body surging, a sign that his cultivation was about to break through.

He was about to break through to the second level of the Gold Core stage.

And with this breakthrough, he had spent nearly half a month cultivating in his room.

During this period, his wives and daughters were very considerate and didn't disturb him.

When the time came to the thirteenth day.

At this moment, Chen An, sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.

After thirteen days, he finally succeeded in breaking through.

Purely relying on his own efforts, he went from the first level of the Gold Core stage to the second level.

Although he used a few Qi Gathering Pills to assist in the breakthrough process, these pills were all refined by himself, so they were considered his own efforts.

That night, the concubines worked together in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate his breakthrough to the second level of the Gold Core stage.

After the meal.

Chen An chatted with his wives and concubines for more than half an hour.

They all seem to have digested it about the same.

So, I took them to find a place to build a study.

Chen An was responsible for digging out a study, and when it was dug out, he would let his wife and daughters come to decorate it.

But it took more than an hour.

The study was successfully built.

There was a bed, a desk, a chair, and a bookshelf.

All the furniture was there.

Then, Chen An took out all the books stored in the storage ring and arranged them on the bookshelf according to a rough classification.

The two young daughters had never been exposed to books before, and now they were full of curiosity about the books on the bookshelf.

Especially the eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian.

After she turned one year old, her young wife, Song Huaying, taught her to read every day.

Now her literacy level has reached the point where she can read any book without any obstacles.

Of course, it is limited to literacy.

As for whether she can understand the content of the book, that's another matter.

Out of curiosity, in the following days, after completing their cultivation tasks for the day, the wife and daughters would come to the study to read.

Chen Yike couldn't read or understand, so she just came over to join in the fun.

At first, she would ask her father, mother, and sisters what the books were about like a curious baby.

But after a few days, she lost interest in asking.

Either she rolled around on the bed or lay flat on the bed in a big character shape to sleep.

Seeing that his wife and daughters liked the study, Chen An was also happy.

In the blink of an eye.

The time came to the early morning of the second day.

It was still dark.

Chen An hadn't slept all night.

After lingering with Shen Qingyi last night, he returned to his own room and quietly sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

As for the improvement of his cultivation, he couldn't rely solely on the system rewards he obtained from his two daughters. He had to cultivate more on his own if he had time.

Regardless of whether the efficiency was high or not, at least it could give him more insights into cultivation.

In short, it wouldn't be a loss.

"Husband, are you awake?"

A soft voice from Song Huaying came from outside the door.

Chen An had a thought and opened the door, looking at Song Huaying, who was wearing pajamas, with some confusion, "What's wrong, Ying'er? Why did you get up and come to me before dawn?"

"It's nothing, I just missed my husband."

Song Huaying walked into the room, closed the door, and sat on Chen An's bed.

Seeing her like this, Chen An guessed that she was feeling a little hungry and wanted breakfast, so he jokingly said, "What's wrong, haven't slept with me for three nights, feeling lonely?"

"Husband, you're so annoying. You know I'm thin-skinned, but you still say such things on purpose."

Song Huaying complained, openly admitting that she was indeed feeling lonely.

It was fine when she was still a mortal, but since awakening her Flower Goddess bloodline and reaching the third level of Qi Refining, her need for deep emotional communication with her husband had increased a lot.

And now, her husband had four wives in total, and each person had to wait three days before it was their turn. This was completely unsatisfying for her.

Although she could quench her thirst during the day, she couldn't resist being thirsty at night.

Chen An loved his young wife very much. Seeing that she had a need now, he didn't say much and stopped cultivating, intending to satisfy her.

"Husband, wait."

Song Huaying stopped Chen An from taking off her pajamas.

Chen An was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Song Huaying's eyes were seductive as she said, "Husband, it's still early, and there's no one in the study. Shall we go there to exchange experiences and read together?"

Seeing that his young wife said this without a hint of blush, Chen An suddenly realized that the naive and ignorant young wife from years ago was gone, replaced by an experienced and skilled driver.

And this skilled driver not only knew how to drive on any road, but also had a passion for exploring new paths, wanting to travel to every corner of the world.

"Husband, hurry up and take me to the study, or else Xiaoyue will come to the study to read when she wakes up later."

Song Huaying stretched her leg and hooked Chen An's waist, urging him.

Chen An didn't say much, he kissed his wife's face without any makeup, and then carried her to the study.

As the sun rose, the sky gradually brightened.

Soon, the wives and daughters in the tunnel woke up one after another.

The couple in the study heard the movement and quickly finished dressing before coming out.

Song Huaying went back to her own room to practice, while Chen An went into the alchemy room to study the refining of third-grade pills.

This refining process took the whole morning.

They learned how to refine two new types of third-grade pills together.

"The speed of learning to refine third-grade pills is getting faster."

"Indeed, in the field of alchemy, the beginning is always the hardest. Once you succeed in the beginning, the rest is mostly about mastery."

Chen An thought and extinguished the pill fire.

It was almost time.

It was time to randomly favor a wife or concubine.

The night was for scheduled companionship.

But during the day, they could do as they pleased.

"Hmm?"

Just as Chen An left the alchemy room and was about to go to Gu Xinyue's room, he suddenly sensed an unknown force attracting the spiritual energy in the surrounding air, flowing towards the hall.

This scene seemed familiar.

Could it be that Xiaoyike was about to successfully cultivate her qi?

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but feel excited and immediately changed direction towards the hall.

When he arrived at the hall, he found Shen Qingyi, Wen Zhiyun, and their eldest daughter Chen Yuejian all there.

At this moment, the three of them were watching Chen Yike below the cave entrance from a distance, afraid that getting too close would affect her. They didn't dare to make a sound, silently cheering her on in their hearts.

Seeing Chen An approaching, Wen Zhiyun instinctively took his hand and held it tightly, her whole face filled with nervousness.

When a person gets nervous, their hands naturally want to hold onto something.

Chen An felt Wen Zhiyun's sweaty hand, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. His gaze fell on the face of their second daughter in front of the cave entrance.

Their second daughter, Chen Yike, had her eyes tightly closed, doing horse stances. The features on her chubby round face were wrinkled together, giving her a constipated expression.

"Ya ya ya ya ya—"

Suddenly, Chen Yike, like the protagonist in the anime Dragon Ball about to transform into a Super Saiyan, clenched her fists and shouted loudly, her momentum suddenly soaring.

Then, the flow of spiritual energy in the air suddenly accelerated, madly rushing into her small body.

At the same time, a prompt message appeared in front of Chen An.

[Your daughter Chen Yike has successfully learned to cultivate her qi, rewarded with thirty years of cultivation.]

[Name: Chen An]

[Cultivation: Gold Core Third Layer]

Another breakthrough!

Chen An felt a slight excitement in his heart.

"Xiaoyike, you're amazing, you're really a good child of your mother!"

Seeing their silly daughter successfully cultivate her qi, Wen Zhiyun let go of Chen An's hand and joyfully rushed towards their daughter below the cave entrance, hugging her and giving her a kiss on her round face.

Chen Yike was kissed with saliva all over her face, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't dare to protest, afraid of making her fierce tiger mother unhappy.

"Husband, did you have a breakthrough?"

Shen Qingyi sensed that her husband's spiritual pressure suddenly surged, and she couldn't help but look at him in surprise and ask.

Chen An calmly replied, "Hmm, after seeing Xiaoyi Ke learn how to cultivate qi, I suddenly had an epiphany and broke through to the third level of the Gold Core stage."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi was shocked beyond belief, her face filled with disbelief.

Chen An's breakthrough speed was too exaggerated, to the point where she began to doubt whether she was dreaming, a dream that started from the moment she first saw Chen An in the Treasure Shop.

But this dream seemed to be dragging on, and she still hadn't woken up.

On the other side,

Wen Zhiyun overheard the conversation between Shen Qingyi and Chen An.

However, she remained unaffected by it, her attention focused entirely on her silly daughter.

Unlike Shen Qingyi, who had been married to Chen An for almost three years, Wen Zhiyun had long been accustomed to Chen An's breakthrough speed.

To put it in an exaggerated way, even if Chen An suddenly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she wouldn't find it strange.

"Xiaoyi Ke, after learning how to cultivate qi, do you feel anything special?"

Wen Zhiyun wiped the drool off her silly daughter's face and asked with a concerned tone.

Chen Yike's round face frowned uncomfortably and said, "Mom, I want to poop."

"Ha!"

Chen An was inexplicably amused by his second daughter Chen Yike's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wen Zhiyun turned around and gave him a white look, saying in a displeased tone, "What's so funny? There's nothing funny about this."

"Hmm, not funny, not funny."

Chen An didn't bother to argue with his spoiled concubine and chose to indulge her.

At night,

Gu Xinyue specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.

To celebrate Xiaoyi Ke finally learning how to cultivate qi and Chen An's breakthrough to the third level of the Gold Core stage.

Double happiness.

During the meal, Chen An told his wives about the current situation of the fox demon.

As he spoke, he felt that the timing was right, so he said something shocking, "There's something I want to tell you all. I'm planning to take that fox demon as a concubine."

Upon hearing this, all four wives were stunned at the same time.

Then, they all regained their senses and looked at their husband with astonishment, thinking they had misheard.

"Husband, what did you just say?"

Shen Qingyi felt incredulous and asked Chen An in a puzzled voice, to confirm if she had misheard.

Chen An calmly said, "I just said that I plan to take that fox demon as a concubine."

Upon hearing this again, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but become emotional and said, "Chen, have you gone mad?"

"That's a fox demon!"

"And it's a fox demon that has attacked you several times!"

"Is it because we sisters are not beautiful enough or not attractive enough that you set your sights on that fox demon?"

"Have you been enchanted by that fox demon and lost your sanity?"

Wen Zhiyun's voice grew louder and louder, and she spoke in a questioning tone from beginning to end.

The two young daughters were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.

"Wen sister, calm down. Perhaps there's a reason behind my husband's decision."

Gu Xinyue spoke up to appease Wen Zhiyun.

Wen Zhiyun was furious and said, "What reason could this perverted guy have? I think he's just attracted to that fox demon's appearance and has a lustful desire!"

She continued, "Chen, if you dare to bring that dangerous fox demon home, I will immediately leave with our daughters!"

"Wen sister, please calm down first."

Song Huaying comforted Wen Zhiyun and then looked at Chen An and asked, "Husband, why do you suddenly want to take that fox demon as a concubine?"

Song Huaying had always been the most supportive of Chen An taking concubines, but now that she heard Chen An say he wanted to take that fox demon as a concubine, she also felt unsettled.
