Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 23: New Home

Steward Ouyang was engulfed in the fiery explosion and there was no movement from him, whether he was dead or alive.

Chen An, who was ten meters away from the carriage, was also blasted away by the powerful shockwave generated by the explosion.

He rolled on the ground for more than ten rounds before finally coming to a stop.

His whole body was in excruciating pain, and his head was ringing.

"Husband!"

Gu Xinyue, who was far away, disregarded her own safety and rushed over.

With a worried expression on her face, she came to Chen An's side and carefully helped him up.

With Gu Xinyue's support, Chen An managed to sit up from the ground, his breathing slightly irregular.

He was fine, just a little dizzy and in a lot of pain.

After taking a few breaths to calm himself down, Chen An stood up from the ground and smiled at Gu Xinyue.

"Don't worry, Yue'er, I'm fine."

Just as he finished speaking, an anxious voice came from ahead.

"Husband!"

It was Song Huaying's voice.

At this moment, she was running towards Chen An with a big belly, her delicate face filled with worry.

"I'm fine, both of you go back to where you were before and stay there, don't come any closer."

After saying this, Chen An immediately activated his spiritual power, making his fingers turn golden and shining. At the same time, his senses sharpened, and he carefully made his way towards the carriage, which was still engulfed in thick smoke.

He wanted to see what the situation was with Steward Ouyang.

Whether he was dead or alive.

If he was dead, he would finish him off. If he was alive, he would whip his corpse.

His wives were obedient and seeing that their husband seemed to be fine, they put aside their worries and returned to their original positions, not wanting to distract him.

Soon, Chen An stopped about ten meters away from the carriage, no longer approaching.

He raised his finger and unleashed a barrage of attacks towards the smoke-filled carriage.

The dazzling golden flashes pierced through the thick smoke, accompanied by a dull thud.

"Thud!"

"Thud thud thud!"

"Thud thud!"

"..."

He continued shooting for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until his spiritual power was depleted and he could no longer continue the Golden Light Projection. Only then did Chen An stop his attack.

By this time, the thick smoke on top of the carriage had dissipated quite a bit, revealing a pile of wreckage and a yellow muddy ground full of holes.

On one of the wreckage, Chen An saw Steward Ouyang, completely blackened.

The current Steward Ouyang had lost his limbs, half of his head was gone, and his whole body was riddled with holes left by the golden light.

He lay motionless on the ground, showing no signs of life.

But even so, Chen An didn't dare to approach and check the situation rashly.

He was cautious and chose to take out a low-grade spirit stone from his pocket to restore his spiritual power.

After a moment of recovery, he once again activated his spiritual power and used Goldfinger to mercilessly attack Steward Ouyang's corpse, whipping it like crazy.

But this was not out of anger, but out of fear that the other party might not be completely dead and was just pretending to be dead on the ground.

Out of caution, he whipped the corpse for a full fifteen minutes.

When Steward Ouyang's body had been shot into a hornet's nest and even if a deity came, he wouldn't be able to survive, Chen An dared to approach and check.

"Truly a Qi Refining seventh level expert, his body's strength is exaggerated. After being blasted by the dust bomb and shot so many times by the golden light, he can still barely maintain his human form without turning into a pile of flesh."

Chen An sighed, then quickly squatted down and began to search the corpse for loot.

After searching the bodies of the Black Iron Mountain Villa cultivators around the carriage, he went into the woods to find Steward Zhang's corpse and continued searching.

After the search, his harvest was as follows:

Two medium-grade spirit stones.

Fifty-eight low-grade spirit stones.

Plus several valuable small items.

The harvest was great, but not very profitable.

Because all the belongings in the carriage were blown up, a large sum of money was lost in advance.

After collecting all the spoils.

Chen An waved and called his wives, asking Gu Xinyue and the others to clean up the scene with him, piling up all the bodies together and burning them directly.

Then they dug a deep pit in the woods and buried the remains of the bodies in it.

To be safe, they also dug up a sapling and planted it on top as a cover.

When this sapling grows in a few years, the remains buried underground will never be discovered by anyone.

After Chen An finished dealing with all this, from the initial ambush to the current counterattack and cleaning up the scene, nearly an hour had passed.

Fortunately, this section of the road was remote, and there were usually not many people passing by, so it took such a long time without being discovered.

"By the way, why did the people from Black Iron Mountain Villa know that I would be leaving for the core area today and passing through this road?"

After calming down, Chen An suddenly thought of this question.

He couldn't figure it out.

After thinking about it, he guessed that there were many spies from Black Iron Mountain Villa in the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

When he was traveling, he was seen by those spies and they reported it, leading to the ambush.

"Husband, what exactly happened just now?"

Seeing that things seemed to have been resolved smoothly, Song Huaying couldn't suppress her curiosity and couldn't help but ask her husband.

Gu Xinyue was also curious and silently waited for her husband to explain.

However, Chen An didn't tell them the truth. Instead, he instructed, "Remember not to spread today's events. Pretend that it never happened. We have never seen those masked men and we don't know that Steward Zhang is dead."

"We understand, husband."

"Yes, we understand," the two wives nodded repeatedly, saying that they were very tight-lipped and would never spread the news.

Afterwards, the three of them walked to the core area.

Song Huaying, who was pregnant, was inconvenient, so Chen An carried her all the way.

Gu Xinyue on the side looked envious and also wanted her husband to carry her all the way.

[You carried your wife Song Huaying for more than ten miles on foot, increasing your relationship by +1.]

When they arrived at the core area, Chen An saw a prompt message in front of him.

He glanced at it and ignored it, continuing to carry Song Huaying forward.

It was only when they were about to reach a populated area that he put Song Huaying down from his back, so as not to attract too much attention.

Realizing that they were now only a few hundred meters away from their new home, even a pregnant woman could easily walk the rest of the way.

Soon, the three of them arrived at their new home.

As soon as they saw the luxurious mansion in front of them, both wives became extremely excited.

The number of rooms was three times more than before!

The combined area of the two courtyards was more than twice as large as before!

Most importantly, the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom were all bright and spacious!

They were particularly pleased to see this.

"Husband, is this really our home?"

Thinking about the old shabby room they used to live in, Gu Xinyue felt like she was dreaming, feeling a bit unreal.

Song Huaying next to her felt the same way.

Although she used to be a rich girl from a prestigious family and had always lived in luxurious mansions, those were mansions in the mortal world, completely different from the mansions in the cultivation world.
