Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 36: Easy Control

After returning home, Chen An saw Song Huaying walking in the yard with their daughter.

Gu Xinyue accompanied them.

Wen Zhiyun was not seen, probably meditating in her room.

"Husband!"

Seeing her husband return, Song Huaying greeted him with joy as always.

Gu Xinyue followed behind and silently helped her husband take off the medicine box behind him.

"Husband, our daughter must miss you a lot. You should hold her quickly."

Song Huaying brought Chen Yuejian in her arms and let him hold her.

Chen An held his daughter and playfully touched her little face with his fingers.

Unfortunately, their daughter was still young and couldn't smile yet. Otherwise, he could make her laugh uncontrollably.

After walking around the yard with his wives for a while, Chen An quickly arrived in front of Wen Zhiyun's room and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Fellow Daoist Wen, the situation outside has been getting more chaotic recently. I'm worried that prices will rise a lot in a while. I plan to go out and buy supplies. I would like to invite you to come along. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

"..."

There was silence in the room for a while.

Then, Wen Zhiyun's intelligent voice came from inside, "Wait another moment, wait until I finish my cultivation, and then I'll go out with you."

"Okay, I'll call you then."

Chen An's tone was calm, but he was very surprised. He didn't expect this menopausal beauty to agree so readily. He thought she would nag and complain.

In fact, Wen Zhiyun was someone who could distinguish between important and trivial matters.

When they were together, she might be sarcastic and strange.

But when it came to important matters, she would take them seriously.

Just like now, she considered going out to buy supplies to be very important and agreed without much thought.

Because the situation outside was really chaotic now.

She was worried that Chen An, who only had a cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 5, would be in danger when going out to buy supplies.

He could easily be targeted by some ill-intentioned cultivators.

She felt that if Chen An wanted to go out, she, with a cultivation level as high as Qi Refining Stage 8, should accompany him to feel at ease.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Wen Zhiyun changed into a loose Daoist robe and walked out of the room, covering her well-proportioned figure so that no curves could be seen.

There was no other way. Her figure was too tempting.

If she didn't cover it well, she would definitely be leered at by many people on the street.

This made her feel disgusted.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

After a brief exchange, the two of them took their spirit stones and set off for the market.

Song Huaying wanted to go with them when she saw them.

But she was rejected by Chen An.

As a mother who had just given birth and hadn't fully recovered, it was not acceptable for her to take a newborn baby out for a stroll. No one would agree to it.

Helplessly, Song Huaying stayed behind to rest and recover.

Gu Xinyue stayed behind to take care of her.

...

After arriving at the market, Chen An and Wen Zhiyun didn't waste time wandering around. They had a clear purpose for shopping.

They bought spiritual rice for storage.

They bought young spiritual chickens for breeding.

They bought spiritual plant seeds for cultivation.

They bought talismans for self-defense.

They bought alchemy materials as backups.

They bought daily necessities that needed to be replaced regularly.

After buying everything, Chen An's savings were halved, nearly 300 low-grade spirit stones were gone.

In comparison, Wen Zhiyun spent much less.

From start to finish, she only spent less than 10 low-grade spirit stones.

She only bought a few months' worth of spiritual rice for storage.

Her main purpose for this trip was to protect Chen An.

After all, things are so chaotic now. Chen An is only a Qi Refining fifth-level alchemist. If he were to carry so many supplies back home by himself, he would definitely be robbed on the way.

But now, with her cultivation reaching Qi Refining eighth level, the safety is greatly improved.

Seeing that they had almost finished purchasing the supplies, they didn't stay any longer and immediately set off on their way back home.

When they passed by a jewelry store, Chen An suddenly stopped and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, if you don't mind spending a little more time, I want to go in and buy some jewelry to give to Ying'er and Yue'er."

"Hmph, I knew you would waste money on these useless things."

Seeing the opportunity, Wen Zhiyun immediately took the chance to mock Chen An, criticizing him without any reservation.

Chen An turned a deaf ear to her words and walked into the jewelry store to pick out some accessories.

Afterward, with the introduction of the shopkeeper, he set his eyes on a pair of jade bracelets.

The price was not expensive, only half a spiritual stone for the pair.

It was just enough to buy one for each of his wives as a gift.

Chen An paid half a spiritual stone and had the shopkeeper package the bracelets in a wooden box, trying to make the packaging look as nice as possible.

When it was time to leave, he noticed that Wen Zhiyun was staring at a pearl bracelet in the display case, her face filled with desire.

He glanced at the price of the pearl bracelet.

It wasn't expensive, only ten taels of gold.

That was just one-tenth of a low-grade spiritual stone.

For a cultivator with a cultivation level as high as Qi Refining eighth level, he could easily buy a hundred of them with his eyes closed.

However, Wen Zhiyun hesitated and didn't buy it right away.

Chen An knew that this menopausal woman didn't want to lose face.

After all, when they had just entered the store, she had mocked him, saying that buying these useless things was a waste of money, as if only a fool would buy them.

And now, she wanted to buy one too.

This was like shooting herself in the foot.

"Shopkeeper, please package this pearl bracelet for me as well," Chen An said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this and quickly took out the bracelet, packaging it up and handing it to Chen An with a warm smile, saying, "Boss, you're generous. Welcome back anytime."

"Definitely," Chen An replied with a smile.

Wen Zhiyun, who was watching this scene, guessed to some extent that Chen An might have bought the pearl bracelet to give to her. She suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

However, Chen An surprised her by directly putting the packaged bracelet into his pocket without saying a word, and turned to leave the store.

Wen Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He bought this pearl bracelet, but it wasn't for me?

How could he do this?

Wen Zhiyun was angry, but more than that, she felt disappointed.

She quickly followed him out, walking beside Chen An, and sarcastically said, "Hehe, you bought a pair of bracelets for your wives as gifts, and then you bought a bracelet. Which fox spirit have you set your eyes on? Are you trying to win her favor with gifts?"

As she spoke, she also criticized Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, feeling that they were not worth it, saying, "You always pretend to be affectionate, but in reality, you're so fickle. You're always thinking about seducing female cultivators. You're really two-faced."

"You're saying that I am..."

Before she could finish her last sentence, Chen An suddenly reached into his pocket and took out the pearl bracelet, handing it to her, saying, "Fox spirit, this is for you."

"..."

Looking at the pearl bracelet handed to her by Chen An, Wen Zhiyun was speechless for a moment.

But soon, she reacted and became a bit flustered, saying, "Why... why are you giving me a bracelet? What is our relationship? You're just casually giving me a bracelet like this..."

Chen An couldn't be bothered with her pretentiousness and simply handed her the pearl bracelet, saying, "Take it, midwife. This is your fee for delivering babies, as well as the fee for accompanying me to buy supplies today."

"Hehe, you think you can buy me off with a cheap bracelet worth only ten taels of gold? You really underestimate me."

Although Wen Zhiyun was complaining, she reluctantly reached out and took the pearl bracelet from Chen An, acting all proud.

Watching Wen Zhiyun, who couldn't let go of the pearl bracelet, Chen An just smiled and didn't say anything.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. It's so easy to please an unmarried woman, just give her a small gift and she'll be easily satisfied.
