Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 193: Harassment of Wives and Concubines (22)

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves.

In the blink of an eye.

More than three months have passed.

During this period, Chen An would refine ten Heavenly Countenance Pills for Ning Xian'er every month.

After Ning Xian'er received them, she would consume one pill and store the remaining nine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with Ning Xian'er, Chen An would always use his interesting soul from the 21st century to make her laugh.

Over time, their relationship became much more familiar.

From the beginning of a superior-subordinate relationship, it gradually leaned towards a friendship.

On this day.

Dusk.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Gu Xinyue had finished cooking dinner.

She set the table at the right time.

As long as Shen Qingyi returned, the family could start eating.

Not long after.

Shen Qingyi returned.

There was a hint of trouble on her face, but it quickly disappeared. The moment she entered the Cave Mansion, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Shen Niang! Shen Niang! Did you remember to buy spirit cakes for me?"

Seeing Shen Qingyi, who was dressed in black, walking over, Chen Yike immediately stood up with an expectant look on his face.

With a thought, Shen Qingyi took out more than ten boxes of spirit cakes from her storage bag and placed them on the table. She smiled and said, "Since Shen Niang promised to buy you spirit cakes, I wouldn't forget."

"Shen Niang is the best!"

Chen Yike hugged the spirit cakes on the table and smiled from ear to ear.

Wen Zhiyun hummed, "You silly kid, if you really think Shen Niang is good, you should hug her and say it, not hug the spirit cakes and say such things."

"Shen Niang, did you buy my storybook?" Chen Yuejian asked.

Then, Song Huaying also asked, "Shen Jiejie, what about my golden silkwood pipa?"

Gu Xinyue said, "Shen Jiejie, what about my bone-cleaning knife?"

Jiu Ji said, "Shen Jiejie, what about my silk flower bellyband?"

"Don't worry, I've bought everything."

Shen Qingyi took out the things her sisters and daughters wanted from her storage bag and distributed them one by one. She always had a smile on her face, like a big sister next door.

Since becoming a disciple of the Enforcement Hall, she had to go out on duty every day, so she became the family's personal shopper, often bringing back things for her sisters and daughters from the market.

After everything was distributed.

Chen An pulled out a chair next to him and warmly said to Shen Qingyi, "Qingyi, sit here, I saved this seat for you."

"Thank you, husband."

Shen Qingyi went around and sat down in front of the chair.

Everyone gathered, and the meal began.

Not long after.

Everyone finished their meal.

They chatted and then dispersed.

Shen Qingyi didn't stay for post-meal chat and went back to her room after eating.

Chen An waited for a moment, then got up and walked towards her room.

Arriving at the door, he knocked lightly and asked, "Qingyi, can I come in?"

"You may, husband."

"In that case, I'm coming in."

With that, Chen An used Earth Escape Technique to enter the room and saw Shen Qingyi standing by the window, enjoying the breeze.

He walked to Shen Qingyi's side and stopped, first accompanying her in the breeze, then asked, "Qingyi, do you have something on your mind?"

"Why is husband suddenly asking this?"

"When you came back from the Enforcement Hall, I noticed the hint of trouble on your face before you entered the door."

"Husband's spiritual awareness has improved once again. Even from such a distance, without even looking at me, you can capture the fleeting expression on my face."

Shen Qingyi turned her head to look at Chen An, her face carrying a faint smile.

Chen An also looked at her and asked softly, "So, what happened to you?"

"Mm."

Shen Qingyi responded.

Immediately, she chose not to hide anything and told Chen An everything.

After hearing what Shen Qingyi said, Chen An learned that a male disciple in the Hall of Enforcement had been harassing her recently.

The harassment was excessive.

Even after Shen Qingyi informed him that she was a married woman, that her husband was a disciple in the Hall of Alchemy, and that her husband had a close relationship with the Lady Saint, he continued to pester her relentlessly, as if he enjoyed pursuing a married woman.

She had sought help from Liu Huoyu, but he only advised her to endure for the time being. He said that the male disciple had a powerful background as the legitimate son of the Ninth Elder, and even the Lady Saint had to avoid his influence.

In the current Heaven and Earth Sect, it was not only the power of the Sect Master and the Lady Saint that dominated, but there was also a force known as the Nine Elders.

The Nine Elders, as the name suggests, were a force composed of nine elders.

These nine elders were different from the elders in the various halls. They did not have specific responsibilities and mostly secluded themselves in closed-door cultivation.

However, they were highly respected and had the power to decide who could become the Sect Master.

In simple terms, they had the power to elect the Sect Master.

They were the true pinnacle of power in the Heaven and Earth Sect.

At the same time, they were also the peak of combat strength.

Each of them had cultivation levels that were not weaker than the current Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue.

They chose not to handle affairs in order to break through to higher levels and focused all their energy on cultivation.

Most of the time, these nine elders secluded themselves in their own Cave Mansions and rarely came out.

As a result, many disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect had never seen them and were unaware of their existence.

Not to mention the disciples, even many disciples who had been in the Heaven and Earth Sect for hundreds of years had never seen one of these nine elders.

Chen An learned about all this from his casual conversations with the Lady Saint, Ning Xian'er.

Therefore, when he heard Shen Qingyi say that it was the legitimate son of the Ninth Elder who was harassing her, Chen An's expression immediately became serious.

Seeing his change in expression, Shen Qingyi knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so she said to him, "Husband, it's actually not a big deal. I can endure it. If I really can't take it anymore, I will just leave the Hall of Enforcement and focus on cultivating at home."

Hearing his concubine say this, Chen An felt uncomfortable.

When he first met Shen Qingyi, she was a righteous and fearless female warrior who would not tolerate any evil. She never considered the consequences when punishing wrongdoers.

But now, she had become a weak woman who had to bow down to power.

In the past, Chen An had wanted Shen Qingyi to become like this.

But now that Shen Qingyi had truly become the person he wanted her to be, he suddenly felt sorry for her. He felt that his own incompetence was forcing Shen Qingyi to suppress her true nature.

This was not the Shen Qingyi he wanted.

What should I do to solve the problem of the Ninth Elder's son harassing Qingyi without bringing disaster to our family?

Should I use my connections?

Obviously, that wouldn't work.

That Ninth Elder not only held a high position of power, but also had strength that was not weaker than Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.

With my current relationships in the Heaven and Earth Sect, I have no way to contend with him.

Should I secretly take action and teach that Ninth Elder's son a lesson?

That wouldn't work either.

As long as someone investigates, it will be discovered in no time.

Wait a minute!

I have the Book of Curses!

Last time, when I used the Book of Curses to curse the elders of the Hall of Union and the Hall of Purity, it alarmed the Sect Master. She even sent the Lady Saint with the undercover team to investigate for over a month.

However, they found nothing. They couldn't find any clues.

Later on, even the Sect Master personally led the investigation, but they still found nothing.

What does this mean?

This means that the Book of Curses is of extremely high rank!

So high that even a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert cannot trace its origin!

Therefore, as long as I use the Book of Curses, I can secretly cripple the Ninth Elder's son and prevent him from harassing Qingyi again!

Thinking of this, the seriousness on Chen An's face disappeared in an instant.

He showed a faint smile, reached out and embraced Shen Qingyi's slender waist, and confidently said, "Don't worry, Qingyi. I can handle this matter properly for you. You just stay in the Hall of Enforcement and do what you like."
