Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 182 Scaring Children (22)

"Husband, are you still angry?"

Wen Zhiyun raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing at Chen An.

Chen An, taking advantage of the situation, helped Wen Zhiyun up and said, "I have never been angry with you. Please get up."

Wen Zhiyun pursed her tempting lips and said with a lingering fragrance, "Husband, I will be gentle with Xiaoyi in the future."

"That's good."

After saying that, Chen An continued, "By the way, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."

"What is it, husband?"

Wen Zhiyun's voice was particularly gentle.

Chen An said, "I have been appointed as an official in the Alchemy Hall, and I learned that officials have the obligation to bring in new disciples. So I thought, why not let you join the Alchemy Hall as well, become my apprentice, and learn alchemy with me?"

"Okay, I will follow your arrangements, husband."

Wen Zhiyun was very obedient, without her previous arrogance.

However, Chen An knew that after a while, she would return to her previous arrogant self. She would still pout and complain.

But, how should I put it, a formerly arrogant concubine turning into a gentle one for a while feels fresh and enjoyable.

But if she were to completely become a gentle concubine, it wouldn't be as interesting.

There are many things that only appear beautiful when limited in time.

After sending Wen Zhiyun away.

Chen An went to the sunny skylight and took out the seeds and bird eggs from his storage ring.

As for the seeds, he simply dug a hole under the skylight and planted them.

But after some thought, he felt it wasn't enough, so he used earth escape technique to go outside and dug up a pile of fertile soil.

At the same time, he also cut a few bamboo poles to make a fence and picked up some dry grass to make a bird's nest.

After a while.

The handling of the seeds and bird eggs was successfully completed.

The seeds were planted in fertile soil and surrounded by a fence for protection.

The bird eggs were placed in a woven nest and left to bask in the sunlight.

These were the eggs of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, also known as the God Bird of the Sun. Sunlight is the nourishment they need for development.

"Next, we just have to wait for the seeds to sprout and the bird eggs to hatch."

Chen An murmured to himself.

After that, he used earth escape technique to go outside the Cave Mansion and see if his two daughters were having a good time.

When he arrived outside, he found that there were more children playing than when they had left.

Similarly, there were also many neighboring young women who came to look after them.

The once quiet surroundings of the Cave Mansion had turned into a bustling market, filled with voices, laughter, and the loud roars of his second daughter, who was like a silly dragon.

Chen An followed the loud voice of his second daughter and saw his two daughters playing happily with several children, covered in mud and having a great time.

As for his wives, they were chatting with the young women from the neighboring houses.

Those young women from the neighboring houses knew that they were Chen An's wives.

So, while chatting, they intentionally or unintentionally praised them, saying how beautiful they were and how lucky they were to marry Chen An.

Wen Zhiyun was delighted to hear this.

Shen Qingyi, on the other hand, had a straightforward personality and didn't like to hear flattery.

When Chen An walked out of the Cave Mansion, she walked towards him.

"Husband."

Shen Qingyi came to Chen An's side and called out softly.

Her voice was neither coquettish nor soft, but it made people feel a sense of relief.

Chen An didn't say anything, he just smiled at her and naturally took her delicate jade hand, holding it in his hand and caressing it lovingly.

Shen Qingyi enjoyed the warmth of his hand, feeling that time was peaceful.

"By the way, husband, have you thought about carving words on the gate of the Cave Mansion?"

"When I was in the Mysterious Yellow Sect, I used to carve words on my own Cave Mansion, and most cultivators with Cave Mansions would do the same."

"It feels quite meaningful."

Shen Qingyi looked at Chen An and said in a refreshing voice.

Chen An found it interesting and asked her, "What words did you carve before?"

"The word 'xia' (hero), a hero who upholds justice."

"Well, it suits your personality."

"What about you, husband? Do you want to carve any words on the Cave Mansion?"

Shen Qingyi asked curiously.

Chen An thought for a moment and replied, "If I have to choose, there's nothing special that I want to carve. But if you insist, then it should be the word 'stable,' stable and reliable."

Shen Qingyi nodded and said, "The word 'stable' does indeed suit your temperament."

"Since Qingyi also thinks so, then please help me with something. Carve the word 'stable' above the Cave Mansion."

"Okay."

Shen Qingyi agreed with a few precious words.

Afterwards, she flew up with her sword to the top of their Cave Mansion and used her finger enveloped in spiritual energy to carve the word "stable" on the door.

"Husband, the word is carved. How does it look? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Shen Qingyi returned to Chen An's side and asked softly.

Chen An only took a glance and immediately liked her. He didn't hesitate to praise her, saying, "My Qingyi not only has a beautiful appearance and graceful figure, but even her handwriting is so beautiful. I am truly fortunate to be able to marry you after three lifetimes of cultivation."

"You flatter me, husband."

Shen Qingyi modestly smiled.

In fact, she was very happy in her heart and enjoyed hearing her husband say these sweet words. Although there was an element of flattery, her husband's flattery was different from others', and she enjoyed listening to it.

Seeing Shen Qingyi happy, Chen An was also happy.

"By the way, we haven't used the life-saving formation that was rewarded before. We need to set it up now to protect the Cave Mansion."

Chen An suddenly remembered the defensive formation, "Life and Death Formation," that was rewarded by the system and quickly went to set it up.

After a moment, the formation was set up.

Chen An brought Shen Qingyi to test the effectiveness of the formation.

The test results were very good.

When Shen Qingyi, a Foundation Building cultivator, had not been sensed by the formation, she couldn't enter the Cave Mansion and was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Afterwards, Chen An brought Jiu Ji to try breaking the formation.

The result was the same. They couldn't even scratch the barrier.

With this "Life and Death Formation," anyone with a cultivation level lower than the one who set up the formation would be unable to break through and enter the Cave Mansion.

And now, Chen An's cultivation level was at the sixth level of the Gold Core stage, which meant that even a cultivator at the fifth level of the Gold Core stage couldn't forcefully enter the Cave Mansion without his permission.

"With the protection of this formation, the safety of the Cave Mansion has greatly improved."

Chen An thought to himself with satisfaction.

Just then, there was a commotion from his second daughter.

Chen An looked over and saw his second daughter arguing with a little girl from the Lin steward's family.

Meanwhile, the adults were chatting happily and completely unaware of the conflict between the two children.

"Why are you two arguing?"

Chen An used his earth escape technique to approach and asked.

"Uncle, she insulted me!"

The chubby daughter of the Lin steward complained.

Chen Yike, not convinced, retorted, "Dad, she insulted me first!"

The chubby girl became anxious and explained, "It was clearly you who insulted my authentic fat pig!"

Chen Yike said, "It was you who insulted me first!"

The chubby girl said, "It was you who insulted me!"

Chen Yike said, "Ah, ah, ah!!!"

The chubby girl said, "Ah, ah, ah!!!"

With just a few words, the two children started yelling at each other again.

Several nearby children were attracted by their argument and happily watched the scene.

Seeing that the two children wouldn't stop arguing, Chen An pointed to an ant nest not far away and asked, "Do you see the ants on the ground carrying food?"

Both children nodded.

Chen An walked over to the ant nest and pointed to two ants working together to carry a grain of spiritual rice. He asked the two children, "Looking at these two ants, have you realized anything?"

Chen Yike shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The chubby girl furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought.

The other children beside them looked at each other, not understanding what Chen An was trying to express.

At this moment, Chen An's eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, walked over and said crisply, "The spiritual rice is heavy, and a single ant can't carry it, but if two ants work together, they can move it."

"So, Daddy wants to tell us that unity is strength, and the purpose is for us to get along friendly and not argue, but to unite."

"Bang!"

Before Chen Yuejian finished speaking, Chen An suddenly stomped on the two ants on the ground. Then he looked at the two children who had been arguing earlier with a fierce expression and said, "What I want to tell you is that if you dare to argue again, these two ants will be your fate!"

Chen Yike: "!!!"

Chubby girl: "???"

Chen Yuejian: "???"

Others: "???"

Seeing this brutal scene, the children were instantly scared.

Without saying a word, they ran away, afraid of being beaten by Chen An.

"Kids are so easily scared."

Seeing the fleeing children, Chen An couldn't help but laugh.

Then he lifted his foot slightly, revealing the two ants that had been "killed" under his foot.

In fact, these two ants were not harmed at all, and they were even protected by Chen An's spiritual power.
