Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 168: It's Time to Take Jiu Ji as a Concubine (22)

As the sky outside grew dark,

In the underground hall,

The dining table was filled with various delicious dishes.

Eighteen dishes and three soups.

Among them, at least ten dishes and two soups were specially made for Chen Yike.

There was no way around it, this glutton's appetite was just too big.

No matter how much she ate, she couldn't get full.

And she only ate, never excreted, absorbing all the food.

It was a bit inhuman.

Such a special constitution, even in this unscientific cultivation world, was extraordinary.

"Husband, do you need me to call Jiu Ji out for dinner?"

Song Huaying asked softly.

Before Chen An could answer, Wen Zhiyun spoke up first:

"Didn't they say that fox demons only feed on spiritual energy and don't need to eat anything else?"

"In that case, in the future, husband can feed her a little bit of spiritual energy regularly to ensure she doesn't starve. There's no need to let her eat at the table."

Wen Zhiyun was full of hostility towards Jiu Ji, showing no kindness at all.

Gu Xinyue felt that this approach seemed a bit inappropriate and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Sister Wen, let Jiu Ji eat at the table. After all, we will all be living under the same roof in the future. It's better not to strain the relationship too much."

"What's the big deal if it strains? It doesn't matter."

Wen Zhiyun shrugged indifferently, never considering getting along with Jiu Ji.

Clearly, she was more emotional than rational.

On the other hand, Shen Qingyi was the opposite in this regard, being more rational than emotional.

Well, except for dealing with evil and punishing the wicked.

As long as it had nothing to do with punishing evil, Shen Qingyi could maintain enough rationality when facing other matters.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi believed that Jiu Ji would most likely become her husband's fifth wife in the future, and she felt that there was no need to have an unpleasant relationship with this future sister.

So she held the same opinion as Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, and gently advised Wen Zhiyun:

"Zhiyun, I know you don't like Jiu Ji, but let her eat at the table. Maybe we will all be sisters in the future, there's no need for this."

"Since Sister Shen said so, then let's do as you all say."

Wen Zhiyun chose to compromise.

In this family, she would argue with Chen An and educate Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue as the eldest sister.

But when facing Shen Qingyi, who was nearly twenty years older, all her sharpness would disappear, as if she were Shen Qingyi's daughter, softening and giving in.

Seeing Wen Zhiyun's agreement, Shen Qingyi looked at Gu Xinyue and said, "Yue'er, please go and call Jiu Ji to the table."

"No problem."

Gu Xinyue got up and left the hall to call Jiu Ji out of her room.

Throughout this whole process, Chen An, as the head of the family, didn't say a word, quietly watching his wives and concubines resolve the situation themselves.

He was preparing for having more wives in the future.

Currently, he didn't have many wives, only four, and if Jiu Ji, the reserve, was included, then there were only five.

Managing five wives was easy, effortless.

But what if he had ten, twenty, thirty, or even hundreds of wives in the future?

It was impossible for him to manage all of them alone.

Without even thinking, it was clear that it was impossible.

To solve this problem, he had to delegate power appropriately now, allowing the wives to produce their own leaders, the equivalent of a queen in a secular dynasty.

In this way, in the future, as the head of the family, he could save himself a lot of trouble and be carefree as a figurehead.

Soon, Gu Xinyue brought Jiu Ji out.

Under everyone's gaze, Jiu Ji, who was now under the same roof, instinctively lowered her head and dared not make eye contact with Chen An's wives and concubines.

"Jiu Ji, come sit here."

Chen An beckoned to Jiu Ji, deliberately leaving a seat next to him, a position between him and Song Huaying.

Jiu Ji nodded and silently sat down beside him.

At this point, all the members of the family were at the table.

The celebratory dinner to commemorate Chen An's successful test officially began.

As soon as the dinner started, the two silly daughters immediately picked up a spoon in each hand and skillfully started the "double spoon flow," stuffing rice into their cherry-like mouths like crazy.

In just a few breaths, they finished a large bowl of rice.

Then, they asked for more rice and continued eating!

Chen An and his wife and daughters were already accustomed to the scene before them.

However, Jiu Ji, who had just arrived, was different.

She was completely stunned, thinking for a moment that she was hallucinating.

What's the deal with this human girl?

Why can she eat so much?

Could she be a gluttonous monster?

Jiu Ji was shocked.

Shocked beyond words.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

Seeing Jiu Ji's shocked expression, Chen An thought she knew something and looked at her, asking, "Jiu Ji, do you know what special constitution my second daughter has?"

Chen An had always been curious about his silly second daughter's special constitution.

Coincidentally, Jiu Ji was a nine-tailed fox, and her parents were also powerful cultivators at the Soul Formation stage. It was likely that being born into such a family, she had a broader understanding in this area and might have seen this kind of special constitution before.

Unfortunately, Jiu Ji disappointed Chen An.

She had also never seen such a special constitution as Chen Yike's before and didn't know what it was, so she couldn't provide Chen An with an answer.

Chen An was a little disappointed about this.

As time slowly passed by.

This sumptuous dinner was also coming to an end.

Seeing that everyone was full and satisfied, Chen An, as the head of the family, took a sip of soup to moisten his throat and announced in a deep voice:

"I plan to take Jiu Ji as my concubine tomorrow. What do you all think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent, even Jiu Ji, who was the person in question, was stunned.

Jiu Ji knew that she would be giving herself to Chen An tomorrow night, but she had never thought that Chen An would choose to directly take her as a concubine. She had always thought that Chen An would treat her as a servant.

Therefore, for a moment, she felt a mix of emotions and didn't know how to feel.

"Husband, isn't this too fast?"

Song Huaying hesitated for a moment and whispered.

Fast?

Yes, it was quite fast.

But there was no other way. Chen An was eager to obtain the Water Spirit Root and establish a marital relationship with Jiu Ji in order to quickly raise the aptitude of the Water Spirit Root to above the top grade.

This was necessary to gather all five elemental top-grade spiritual roots and prepare for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

Because in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, these two conditions had to be met.

First, all five elemental dominant spiritual roots had to be gathered.

Second, the aptitude of these five elemental dominant spiritual roots had to reach the top grade or above.

In order to meet these two conditions as soon as possible, he had to take Jiu Ji as his concubine as early as possible.

As for cultivation, he was not worried at all.

Because he could obtain rewards from the system through his two daughters, as long as he could gather all five elemental dominant spiritual roots and raise the aptitude of all the spiritual roots to the top grade, it wouldn't take long for him to achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

"Husband, you have no feelings for her at all. What kind of marriage is this?"

Wen Zhiyun immediately opposed after Song Huaying.

Chen An shrugged and said, "When I married Ying'er and Yue'er, we also had no feelings for each other, but now we are happily married, aren't we?"

After speaking, he looked at Jiu Ji and asked, "What do you think about us getting married tomorrow?"

"I'll listen to Master Chen," Jiu Ji responded without hesitation, not daring to go against Chen An's will.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Shen Qingyi, acting as the eldest sister in the family, expressed her opinion:

"Since Husband has already decided, then let's settle it like this. Tomorrow, let's all wake up early and help Jiu Ji get dressed and prepare the bridal chamber."

"Sister Shen is right. Let's all wake up early tomorrow and prepare together."

Gu Xinyue voiced her support.

She was both Shen Qingyi's sister and disciple, so she would support whatever decision Shen Qingyi made.

Of course, the premise was that Shen Qingyi's decision was not detrimental to Chen An.

No matter what, Chen An, as her husband, was always the most important person in Gu Xinyue's eyes.

After the matter of marrying Jiu Ji was settled.

Everyone dispersed.

They all went back to their rooms early to rest or cultivate.

On this night, the family suddenly had a nine-tailed fox. Apart from the two young daughters, everyone else was burdened with their own thoughts.
