Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 394: Hua Xuanyin's Sacrifice (12)

"Chen Elder, practice well. The Holy Lord has high hopes for you."

As soon as the woman in the purple dress spoke, almost everyone present looked at her in disbelief. For a moment, they thought they had misheard.

You see, the Holy Lord in the Sacred Land was known for being lazy and indifferent to anything and anyone in the Sacred Land, leaving everything to the two maids under her command.

But this Holy Lord, now she actually said she has high hopes for a new disciple from the mortal realm?

What does this mean?

This means that this new disciple has boundless potential!

Thinking of this, many people's gazes towards Chen An changed.

They became interested, valued, and eager to please.

Among them, the Hall Master of the Pill Hall reacted the fastest.

Just as the woman in the purple dress left, the white-haired Hall Master of the Pill Hall approached Chen An with a smile on his face and warmly said, "Chen Elder, congratulations on your victory. I am Ren Tiansmile, the Hall Master of the Pill Hall. This is a small token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, the Hall Master of the Pill Hall took out a jade box surrounded by purple aura and handed it to Chen An with a smile.

This is a gift... Chen An felt a bit embarrassed.

He didn't want to accept gifts or get too close to people.

Getting close would mean being bound by so-called human relationships and losing the freedom to do as he pleased without any concerns.

But if he didn't accept it, it would be a public humiliation to the face of the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, and he would inevitably offend him and earn his resentment.

What a dilemma!

"Chen Elder, I am Hai Wuyan, the Hall Master of the Knife Hall. This is a small gift as a token of respect."

"Chen Elder, I am Bai Jie, the Hall Master of the Beast Hall. This is an ancient beast's millennium blood egg."

"Chen Elder, I am Zhu Yange, the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall..."

Before Chen An could decide whether or not to accept the gift from the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, the other Hall Masters came forward one after another to give their gifts, congratulating Chen An on his victory.

Even the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange, came to give a gift, saying that whatever Hua Xuanyin could give, she could give as well, and even more, openly undermining Hua Xuanyin's position.

Seeing this, Hua Xuanyin's face turned black.

However, she didn't attack Zhu Yange. Instead, she went into the crowd and pulled Chen An out, wanting to take him back to her Cave Mansion to have a good talk.

Chen An let her lead him away, conveniently avoiding the dilemma of whether or not to accept the gift from the Hall Master of the Pill Hall.

...

Hundred Flower Hall, Hall Master's Cave Mansion.

Hua Xuanyin pulled Chen An to sit in front of the tea table and enthusiastically brewed a pot of spiritual tea for him. Her delicate young face was full of smiles as she said, "Congratulations to Chen Elder on your victory!"

"Chen Elder has the demeanor of an Immortal King, truly a symbol of our Hundred Flower Hall!"

"Chen Elder being able to serve as an Elder in Hundred Flower Hall is a blessing I, Hua Xuanyin, accumulated in my past life."

"Come, Chen Elder, have some tea."

"This is the finest Chaos Heavenly Fruit Tea, which greatly benefits the divine soul."

Hua Xuanyin brought a teacup and poured a cup of hot tea for Chen An herself.

Chen An was somewhat surprised by the sudden change in attitude from this adorable young Hall Master. She went from being cold and distant to warm and enthusiastic in an instant.

It was difficult to adapt to such a drastic change in a short period of time.

Indeed, it was beneficial to show one's strength appropriately and attract the attention of those in power.

It could only be by demonstrating one's value that the higher-ups would come to court.

Of course, there was also the risk of being stifled in the cradle.

However, this risk could be ignored in the well-ordered Hundred Spirits Sacred Land.

Thinking this, Chen An picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, savoring the rich and fragrant taste that burst in his taste buds. He smiled and said, "Good tea."

"If Chen Elder finds it delicious, take some back to let your wife and daughters at home taste it."

Hua Xuanyin took out a can of tea leaves and placed it on the table, her smile undiminished.

Chen An didn't refuse and openly accepted it, putting it into his storage ring.

He belonged to Hundred Flower Hall, and Hua Xuanyin was the Hall Master of Hundred Flower Hall. They were all part of the same group, so there wouldn't be any problems with accepting it.

"Chen, I've been so good to you, you can't run off with another hall master behind my back, especially not with Zhi Yange, the hall master of Qianye Hall. That woman is seductive, she knows how to seduce men, and she likes to take advantage of them. Don't let her innocent appearance deceive you."

Hua Xuanyin kindly reminded him.

This "kind reminder" sounds very subjective, as if intentionally defaming someone.

Chen An was well aware of this and chose to respond vaguely without giving a clear answer:

"I see, I understand."

"..."

Upon hearing Chen An's response, Hua Xuanyin furrowed her eyebrows.

Chen An's answer didn't seem right, and she felt that he might be swayed by other hall masters.

No, this cannot happen!

My hopes of achieving the Immortal King realm all rely on him!

He can't betray me!

The more Hua Xuanyin thought about it, the more uneasy and lacking in confidence she became.

She was well aware that among all the hall masters, she was the weakest in terms of strength and the one who could bring Chen An the least benefits.

If someone was determined to undermine her position, there was a 90% chance they would succeed.

With these thoughts in mind, Hua Xuanyin decided to be straightforward:

"Chen, I hope you will stay in Hundred Flower Hall and help me achieve the Immortal King realm. As long as you stay, I can offer you anything, whether it's a Law Weapon, Immortal Law, the position of hall master, or anything else."

"Anything?" Chen An asked.

"Anything," she replied.

"In that case... I want to become your Dao companion," Chen An boldly said after hesitating for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to say that he wanted to take Hua Xuanyin as a concubine, but he was afraid of being killed by her, so he changed it to becoming Dao companions.

However, even saying that he wanted to become Dao companions with Hua Xuanyin, who was his superior, was already audacious enough. It could be considered as seeking death.

The reason he dared to be so audacious was that he realized his value to Hua Xuanyin and felt confident enough to do so.

"Dao... Dao companion?" Hua Xuanyin widened her eyes in disbelief, her face full of incredulity.

How dare he?! He was just a cultivator from the mortal realm who had recently ascended to the upper realm. He was just a low-ranking steward in Hundred Flower Hall. How dare he covet her body and seriously propose to become her Dao companion?!

Hua Xuanyin wanted to curse out loud: Who do you think you are?

But after calming down, she realized that Chen An was indeed worthy.

He had already reached the level of a Quasi-Immortal King shortly after ascending from the mortal realm.

His future was boundless.

Seeing that Hua Xuanyin wasn't angry but rather shocked, Chen An knew that there was a chance for this to work.

He quickly seized the opportunity and tried to increase Hua Xuanyin's sense of crisis by saying something random:

"Just now, when I was at the teleportation array, the hall master of Qianye Hall contacted me and said that if I join Qianye Hall, she will become my Dao companion."

As he said these words, Chen An's gaze unabashedly fell on Hua Xuanyin's legs, gradually moving downward until it reached her feet, which were partially hidden by the tea table.

Sensing Chen An's lustful gaze, Hua Xuanyin couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows slightly, feeling a fleeting sense of disgust.

She wanted to curse Chen An and kick him out of her Cave Mansion, but when she thought about how her archenemy, Zhi Yange, shamelessly tried to seduce Chen An to undermine her, she suppressed the urge to curse and calmly said:

"I can become your Dao companion, but you'll have to wait until I achieve the Immortal King realm."

She thought to herself that words alone were not enough, and once she achieved the Immortal King realm, she could easily go back on her promise.

Unfortunately, Chen An was much smarter than she had imagined. Seeing that she agreed, he immediately took advantage of the situation and made an unreasonable request:

"Hall master, words alone are not enough. You have to show your determination, for example... let me taste the sweetness now, so I have something to look forward to."

"..." Hua Xuanyin clenched her fist and fell into silence.

After struggling internally for a while, she finally resigned herself to the situation and extended her enticing feet from under the table to Chen An, compromisingly saying:

"Chen, every time you look at me, your gaze always falls on my feet. If you want to touch them, go ahead."
