Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 19: Unfriendly Female Neighbor

[You communicated with your wife, Gu Xinyue, all night, increasing your spiritual awareness by +1.] x18

[Spiritual Awareness: Intermediate Level 1 (100/500)]

"Ah~"

The next morning, just as the sky was getting brighter, Chen An sat on a cotton pad in the woodshed and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

After a night of hard training, he finally broke through his spiritual awareness.

Taking a moment to relax his mind, Chen An closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes brought about by the breakthrough in his spiritual awareness.

His hearing had become stronger.

Even from a distance of over ten meters, separated by two thick wooden doors, he could still hear Song Huaying talking in her sleep. She was murmuring the word "husband" over and over again, her voice sounding drowsy and filled with sleepiness and affection.

His sense of smell had also improved.

With just a gentle breath, he could distinguish dozens of different scents and accurately trace the source of each scent.

Slowly opening his eyes, he realized that his vision had greatly improved as well.

Through the window, he could easily see mosquitoes and insects a hundred meters away, and even the hairs on their legs were clear.

At the same time, his focus, reaction speed, and brain processing power... all his various abilities had become stronger.

Chen An got up and walked to the window, stopping in front of a mosquito several meters away in the air. He projected a golden light at it.

The next second, the golden light hit the mosquito without any deviation, causing it to vanish into thin air.

Hmm, his aim had improved.

Chen An felt a slight excitement in his heart. He didn't expect that breaking through his spiritual awareness would bring about so many enhancements.

"Husband, I want some water~"

Gu Xinyue, who was not good at expressing her emotions, suddenly spoke in a slightly coquettish tone, as soft as a mosquito's voice.

Chen An was somewhat surprised by the sound.

After spending so many days and nights in bed together, it was the first time he had seen his icy-cold concubine act coquettish.

Although it was just a little bit of coquettishness, it was really quite incredible.

"I'll go get you some water right away."

Chen An touched Gu Xinyue's pretty face and said, then got up and walked out of the woodshed to fetch water for her.

He knew that Gu Xinyue wanted to experience the feeling of being loved by her husband, and he was more than happy to fulfill her small request.

[You gave water to your wife, Gu Xinyue, making her feel a strong sense of love. Your marital relationship +1.]

...

After breakfast.

Chen An instructed his wives to stay at home and not go out.

After saying that, he took more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones and went out to find Steward Zhang to look at houses before leaving.

A moment later.

When the two met, Chen An handed five low-grade spirit stones to Steward Zhang as a token of appreciation for taking him to see the houses.

Steward Zhang said there was no need, as it was his duty, and that he was the steward in charge of this.

But after saying that, he still happily accepted the five low-grade spirit stones, thinking that Chen An was really good, understanding the ways of the world, and worth making friends with.

Soon, the two set off.

The cheap district where Chen An was located was a bit far from the core area.

It was about twenty miles away.

Fortunately, both of them were cultivators, so their traveling speed was dozens of times faster than ordinary people.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they successfully arrived at the core area.

"Is this your first time in the core area, Master Chen Dan?"

"Yes, it's my first time."

"Then before we look at the houses, let me take you around the market. It won't take up much time."

"Thank you, Steward Zhang."

"You're too polite, Master Chen Dan."

Steward Zhang smiled and said.

Chen An also smiled, appearing very friendly.

Recalling the scene when the other party came to collect the rent and he was a bit slow to open the door, and the other party didn't give him a good face, and comparing it to now, where the other party accepted the five low-grade spirit stones as a token of appreciation and maintained a smiling attitude throughout the whole process, he could only say that having money was really great.

Soon, the two arrived at the market in the core area and started browsing.

A three-story women's jewelry store.

A four-story pill shop.

A five-story brothel...

Chen An walked all the way and saw many magnificent buildings.

Compared to the market in the cheap district, the market in the core area is prosperous and desirable.

"Master Chen Dan, how is the market here? Is it much more diverse than the one in the cheap district?" Steward Zhang asked with a smile.

It is indeed more prosperous, and there is a lot of foot traffic," Chen An calmly nodded and replied.

Seeing that he didn't show any surprise or excitement like a country bumpkin coming to the city, Steward Zhang couldn't help but admire him. He thought to himself that this Master Chen Dan is indeed extraordinary, with a much more stable temperament than ordinary people.

Afterwards, Steward Zhang said to him, "When we move to the core area tomorrow, if Master Chen Dan has time, you can bring your wives to the market over here. The core area has regular patrols by guards, so it is relatively safe and there are generally no disturbances."

Chen An smiled and said, "It's worth it."

Steward Zhang laughed and said, "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to charge you a monthly rent of up to 100 low-grade spirit stones."

At this moment, Chen An finally understood deeply how valuable a safe and secure place to live is in this unsafe cultivation world.

The two continued to stroll along.

Along the way, whenever they encountered a cultivator walking towards them, Chen An would discreetly sense the other person's cultivation level.

Although the majority were still in the Qi Refining stage, the average cultivation level was higher compared to the cheap district.

Firstly, in the cheap district, it was rare to see a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but here it was quite common.

Even cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, they encountered as many as eight along the way.

And that was just the ones he sensed.

The ones he didn't sense were probably not less than eight.

After strolling for a while, Steward Zhang took Chen An to see the houses.

They looked at more than ten houses in a row, and in the end, Chen An chose a house that was relatively remote but had a much larger area.

It had three bedrooms, a living room, two courtyards, and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.

"Master Chen Dan, are you sure you want to choose this house?" Steward Zhang advised, "Although this house is relatively large, it is quite far from the market. I don't recommend choosing it."

It's better to have more space, so I can accommodate more people in the future," Chen An smiled and said, "I personally prefer this house, so let's choose it."

Seeing that he insisted on renting this place, Steward Zhang no longer persuaded him and began to handle the check-in procedures for him.

It took about half an hour to complete all the procedures.

Steward Zhang handed the key to the house to Chen An and suddenly remembered something to remind him, "By the way, Master Chen Dan, there is a female cultivator living next door, and she is not easy to get along with. You don't need to deliberately build a good relationship with her, just treat her as if she doesn't exist."

"I see, thank you for reminding me, Steward Zhang."

After saying that, Chen An added, "Steward Zhang, there is one more thing that I may need to trouble you with."

"Master Chen Dan, please feel free to tell me."

"It's like this, I plan to bring my wives here after lunch tomorrow, and I would like to ask Steward Zhang to come and escort us on the way."

Saying that, Chen An considerately took out 10 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Steward Zhang, smiling, "Just a little compensation, please don't mind."

"It's just a simple escort, a small matter that can be done with a wave of the hand. There's no need to give me so many 10 low-grade spirit stones. Just give me 1," Steward Zhang took one of the low-grade spirit stones and said, clearly intending to make friends with Chen An.

Chen An was also willing to make friends with a Qi Refining cultivator like him, so he didn't need to be polite.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Steward Zhang said that he had some matters to attend to and bid farewell to Chen An.

Chen An had nothing to do here, so he planned to go back to the cheap district and pack up the luggage he would take with him tomorrow with his wives at home.

Just as he turned around to leave, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him.

She appeared to be in her early thirties, with a dignified and noble appearance, and a graceful figure. She was like a mature peach, exuding a charming and mature charm all over her body.

Seeing Chen An staring at her, the beautiful woman immediately glared at him and scolded, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

After scolding, she quickly walked past Chen An and entered the house next door, slamming the door shut.

Is that my neighbor who is not easy to get along with?

Is her figure a bit too tempting?

Is her face too excessively beautiful?

Recalling the charming appearance of the beautiful woman as she walked past him just now, Chen An felt that as a kind-hearted person like himself, he would definitely be able to get along well with all kinds of people.

Even with a difficult female neighbor, he could still get along with her.
