Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 181 Double Happiness (12)

[Swordsmanship +5, Gold Spirit Root Aptitude +5] x98

[Your deepening relationship with your wife, knowing each other inside out, increases marital affection +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]

Chen An looked at the prompt message in front of him, feeling somewhat confused. Their marital affection had already reached the maximum level of 5 stars, so why was it still showing an increase?

Could it be possible to break through the limit and increase it to 6 stars in the future?

Hmm, it's possible.

Chen An silently thought to himself.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi beside him changed from lying on her side to lying flat, and a hint of pain appeared between her heroic eyebrows.

"Qingyi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chen An looked at the female swordsman and concubine, his voice full of tenderness.

"Mm, a little bit." Shen Qingyi finished speaking and felt quite puzzled. "Husband, how did Yinger, who used to be a mortal, endure your treatment?"

Endure? Actually, even the delicate young wife couldn't endure it...

Chen An thought to himself and said, "As long as there is love between husband and wife, and the affection is deep enough, there is no such thing as enduring or not enduring."

Shen Qingyi believed him, but not completely.

No matter how much love there is between husband and wife, no matter how deep the affection is, it still hurts.

As time passed by.

Gradually, it became dawn.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen An got dressed, got out of bed, and left the room after telling his wife and daughters, heading to the Dan Hall for his duties.

...

Dan Hall.

Elder's room.

As soon as Chen An entered, he saw four new stewards flattering Elder Li.

Elder Li usually appeared dignified, but unexpectedly enjoyed being flattered by others.

Chen An had no intention of flattering, he just wanted to be an invisible person.

"Come, Steward Chen, sit here."

Elder Li pointed to an empty seat in front.

Chen An said, "Thank you, Elder Li," and went over to sit down.

Seeing that everyone was present, Elder Li didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, informing them of the rights and obligations of being stewards of the Dan Hall.

Rights: Free access to all alchemy books in the scripture pavilion, free provision of alchemy materials every year, and a share of the Dan Hall's profits.

Obligations: Complete the annual alchemy tasks, and mentor disciples and apprentices in the Dan Hall, imparting alchemy experience to them.

After spending some time explaining the rights and obligations of the stewards, Elder Li took the five new stewards to visit the public alchemy room.

It was still early in the morning.

But the public alchemy room was already crowded.

All that could be seen were alchemists.

Most of these alchemists gathered together to refine pills, with an older alchemist in the middle instructing them and pointing out various improper operations.

Chen An estimated that these were some of the stewards in the Dan Hall fulfilling their obligation to mentor, teaching disciples and apprentices alchemy.

In addition to this, there were several stewards gathered together to study alchemy.

Chen An was curious about what these stewards were researching, so he used his senses to listen and observe.

As a result, he discovered that these stewards were studying the alchemy of making women more beautiful.

The purpose was quite obvious, they wanted to please the sect master and the saintess.

After about half an hour.

"Today, you have visited here. The next thing you need to do is to fulfill your two duties as stewards."

"One, bring in new disciples. You can actively recruit disciples yourself, or choose to accept the newcomers arranged by the Pill Hall."

"Two, complete the annual pill refining."

"That's all I have to say. I have something to attend to later, so I'll leave first. You are free to do as you please."

Elder Li briefly summarized the tasks for the five new stewards, and then flew away on his sword from the public pill room.

Among the remaining new stewards, Steward Lin looked at Steward Chen An and asked, "Steward Chen, do you have any arrangements regarding taking in disciples?"

"Not at the moment," Chen An replied.

Steward Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Coincidentally, I have a few wives with fire spiritual roots at home. If you don't mind, Steward Chen, I can have them be your apprentices."

"Let me think about it," Chen An replied.

Steward He joked, "Steward Lin, why don't you bring your own wives? Why do you want Steward Chen to do it? It seems like you have ulterior motives and want to use the beauty trap on Steward Chen."

Steward Lin was someone who could take a joke, and he just smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's mainly because I'm tired of my wives at home and want to get to know some new female cultivators."

Steward Zhang beside him laughed and said, "Steward Lin is being honest. To be honest, I have the same idea."

Steward Huang also said, "Since everyone has this idea, why don't we exchange wives and take in disciples? Just make sure not to end up becoming fathers."

"It's hard not to support that," Steward He said.

Chen An felt that these people's ideas were too indulgent and outrageous, so he decided to distance himself from them. He bid farewell and used the Earth Escape Technique to leave the public pill room. Then, he flew home on his sword.

...

Back at the Cave Mansion, Chen An saw many children playing outside the gate.

They were the offspring of the other four new stewards.

The young housewives from the neighboring houses who were responsible for taking care of these children blushed when they saw Chen An's gaze, feeling embarrassed.

But at the same time, they couldn't help but fantasize about intimate scenes with Chen An, and the more they thought about it, the redder their faces became.

Chen An knew that these young housewives from the neighboring houses were all infatuated with him.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it and quickly entered his own Cave Mansion.

"Mom, can I go out and play?"

"Song, I want to go out too!"

"No, it's not safe outside. Both of you stay at home and cultivate well. Don't make your mom and dad worry."

"But there are many children playing outside. What's unsafe about it?"

"That's right!"

"I said it's unsafe, so it's unsafe. If you two don't listen, I'll ask Sister Wen to teach you a lesson later!"

"..."

Walking into the Cave Mansion, Chen An heard the conversation between his young wife and their two daughters.

The two daughters heard the laughter of the children outside and also wanted to go out and play, so they begged their young mother who was taking care of them at the moment.

Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, their young mother didn't allow them to go out and play.

As a result, the two daughters felt down.

Chen An saw this scene and suddenly felt sorry for his two daughters.

At this age, children should be enjoying their playtime the most, but because of the uncertain circumstances they had been living in, they had been confined to their home, and even the underground tunnel, without experiencing any childhood.

This was not what a responsible father should do.

Thinking of this, Chen An used the Earth Escape Technique to appear next to his two daughters and said to his young wife, "Ying, since they want to go out and play, let them go out for a while."

"In the past, it was dangerous outside, so they weren't allowed to go out. But now that we've moved to the Heaven and Earth Sect, it's very safe outside the Cave Mansion. They should be allowed to go out and play."

"As long as there is an adult to watch over them while they play."

Chen An's words struck a chord with his two daughters, and their father-daughter bond grew stronger.

[You agree to let your daughter Chen Yuejian play outside the Cave Mansion, allowing her to feel the deep love of her father. Father-daughter bond +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]

[You agree to let your daughter Chen Yike play outside the Cave Mansion, allowing her to feel the deep love of her father. Father-daughter bond +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]

[Your father-daughter bond with Chen Yuejian has reached 5 stars, gaining the bond "Sharing Good Fortune." You receive a Sage Tree seed, which has been automatically stored in your storage ring and can be retrieved at any time.]

[Your father-daughter bond with Chen Yike has reached 5 stars, gaining the bond "Sharing Good Fortune." You receive a Three-Legged Golden Crow Blood Egg, which has been automatically stored in your storage ring and can be retrieved at any time.]

Double happiness?

So exciting?

Chen An looked at the sudden stream of prompt messages in front of him, and his whole being was first slightly stunned, then filled with joy.

He didn't care about whether his two daughters could go out to play or not. The first thing he did was to focus his divine sense on the storage ring and check the two system rewards inside.

[Sage Tree seed: A legendary tree spirit that grows in the residence of the Confucian saint. It likes to teach and educate, and has 91 favorite disciples. It is known as Mr. Ninety-One Trees by the Human Venerable.]

[Three-Legged Golden Crow Blood Egg: A legendary divine bird that drives the sun chariot. It is known as an expert driver in the immortal realm. It is said to like the Sun Fairy and the Grass Fairy, but dislikes the Moon Fairy and the Flower Fairy.]

Plant spirits and beast spirits?

Are they meant to be my pets?

But why are they giving me seeds and bird eggs?

Wouldn't it be better to give me the tree and the bird directly?

Chen An was puzzled.

But then he quickly understood.

Those who are not of our kind will have different intentions!

However, if they are raised from a young age, these different intentions should be avoided.

Plus, with Blood Essence Enslavement, double protection, there is nothing to worry about.

"Daddy, take me out to play!"

Seeing that her father suddenly fell silent, Chen Yuejian thought he was going back on his word and hurriedly urged him.

Chen Yike, upon hearing this, also shouted loudly, urging, "Dad! Dad! Dad! Take! Me! Out! To! Play!!!"

The sound was so loud that it was deafening.

Then, a voice full of anger came from Wen Zhiyun's room, "You little brat, do you want to get beaten?!"

"Bang!"

There was a sound of a door slamming shut.

Wen Zhiyun came out of the room, walking angrily towards Chen Yike.

Seeing her fierce mother coming over, Chen Yike instantly became timid and quickly grabbed onto her father's leg, panicking and climbing up, her face full of fear, "Dad, save me, save me, save me, save me, save me!"

"Don't worry, Dad will keep you safe, your mother won't hit you."

Chen An reassured her.

Chen Yike was unsure if her father could protect her, trembling with fear.

At this moment, Wen Zhiyun walked over, her face tense as she looked at her silly daughter huddled in her husband's arms, and said coldly,

"Chen Yike, when I count to three, you come down immediately!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Zhiyun, can you stop being so harsh on the child?"

Chen An couldn't bear to see it and chose to stand up for his silly daughter, continuing, "Look at how scared Yike is of you. Do you think this mother-daughter relationship is normal?"

"You mind your own business. It's my freedom to teach my daughter however I want," Wen Zhiyun retorted.

Chen An frowned, realizing that he had been too indulgent with this spoiled concubine of his. His voice turned cold as he said, "She is also my daughter, and I have the right to decide how to educate her."

Seeing her husband's sudden change in tone, Wen Zhiyun knew that he was angry, and her attitude immediately softened. She dared not argue any further.

Normally, she could be willful and fierce, but she knew very well that she could only behave this way because her husband, as the head of the family, tolerated it.

But now, it seemed that her husband was no longer tolerant, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Sensing the tension, Song Huaying quickly spoke up to change the subject and ease the atmosphere. She looked at Wen Zhiyun and said, "Sister Wen, Xiaoyue and Xiaoyike want to play outside Cave Mansion. Let's accompany them and take care of them."

Chen An looked at his young wife and said calmly, "Go find your sister Gu and sister Shen, take the two little girls out to play. I have something to discuss with Sister Wen."

Seeing her husband say this, Song Huaying dared not say anything more. She simply said "okay" and went to call Gu Xinyue, Shen Qingyi, and Jiu Ji. They then took the two daughters outside to play.

Shen Qingyi, Gu Xinyue, and Jiu Ji all had strong spiritual awareness and heard the argument between Chen An and Wen Zhiyun earlier. So when they passed by, they wisely chose not to interfere and took the two daughters with them.

It was only Chen Yike, who had always been scolded by her mother, who looked worriedly at her father before leaving. She said, "Dad, don't hit Mom."

"Dad won't hit Mom. Dad just wants to talk to your mom. Go play outside quickly."

"Oh."

Chen Yike left, looking back every three steps.

After they had completely disappeared outside Cave Mansion, Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun and calmly said, "Zhiyun, have you ever felt that you are too harsh on Xiaoyike?"

"Yes," Wen Zhiyun replied weakly.

In this family, she had a tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong. When Chen An had always indulged her, she had become more and more audacious, often arguing with him and playing the role of a strict wife.

Now that Chen An was no longer indulging her, she suddenly lost her confidence.

Seeing his spoiled concubine become so submissive, Chen An no longer had the desire to scold her. He simply said, "Since you feel that you are too harsh on our daughter, be gentler with her in the future. Don't resort to hitting and scolding so easily."

"Yes, I understand."

"That's all I ask. Go outside and play with our daughter, cultivate a mother-daughter bond."

After speaking these words in a gentle tone, Chen An walked towards the skylight in Cave Mansion, intending to study the seeds and bird eggs in his storage ring.

But before he had taken two steps, Wen Zhiyun reached out and grabbed his clothes, speaking in a humble tone, "Husband, I was wrong. Please don't be angry."

"Don't overthink it. I'm not angry. The reason my tone became cold just now was only to have a serious conversation with you, so that you wouldn't dismiss it and keep muttering."

"Are you really not angry?"

"I'm really not."

"But I don't believe you."

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"Husband, Yinger taught me some new tricks the other day. Why don't you try them and see how they feel?"

"Ah!"

"..."

Wen Zhiyun was worried that Chen An would be angry with her, so she tried to please him in the way she thought would work. Chen An wasn't really angry with her, but seeing her worried expression, he could only let her please him and put her mind at ease, so she wouldn't lose sleep tonight.
