Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 396: Wife and Daughter Being Bullied (12)

Hundred Spirits Sacred Land, the market.

Bamboo buildings stood tall, bustling with people. There were high-end shops, cramped and secluded small stores, and simple stalls... Everywhere was filled with the lively atmosphere of secular life.

On the bustling streets.

Gu Xinyue, Wen Zhiyun, and Shen Qingyi, along with their respective daughters, came to the market to buy ingredients.

Gu Xinyue had three daughters.

Wen Zhiyun had two daughters.

Shen Qingyi had three daughters.

Altogether, there were eleven people, attracting attention as they walked on the slightly crowded streets.

Especially the eight daughters full of spiritual energy, wherever they went, they almost attracted the gaze of every passerby.

At the same time, many onlookers cast strange glances at their three mothers.

Because their three mothers disguised their extraordinarily beautiful faces as ordinary, everyone was surprised at how such ordinary women could give birth to such lovely and ethereal daughters.

"Sister Shen, Sister Wen, the market in the Sacred Land has such a secular atmosphere. It's more down-to-earth than most sect markets in the mortal realm. It has a unique flavor," Gu Xinyue said, sincerely impressed as she looked at the bustling streets.

Shen Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "Perhaps this is returning to simplicity. The higher the cultivation level, the more emphasis is placed on experiencing life rather than simply cultivating in seclusion."

Wen Zhiyun also smiled and said, "That's true. I've heard my husband say that once you reach the Immortal Realm, you no longer need to sit and refine spiritual energy every day. Instead, you need to experience the various aspects of life and pursue enlightenment. That's why the Immortal Realms in the mortal realm return to simplicity."

"..."

The three of them chatted as they walked, not in a hurry to buy ingredients, but waiting for Chen An to come and buy together.

The whole process was leisurely and carefree.

"Mom, I want to eat that fruit!" Chen Yike stopped in front of a shop selling spiritual fruits and shouted loudly, pointing to a large red fruit inside.

She saw a large red fruit on the display counter of the shop, and could smell the fragrance emanating from the fruit, making her mouth water.

"Mom, I want to eat that big red fruit too!" Chen Shiying, Wen Zhiyun's youngest daughter, raised her little face and followed her sister's shout.

The other daughters of Gu Xinyue and Shen Qingyi immediately displayed their herd mentality when they saw this, clamoring to eat the red fruit as well.

Seeing that all the daughters wanted to eat, the three mothers naturally took them to buy it.

However, there were eight daughters, but only one of those red fruits on the display counter.

"Shopkeeper, do you only have one of these red fruits for sale? Are there any others? All eight of my daughters want to eat," Wen Zhiyun walked into the shop and said to an old man sitting on a rocking chair with his eyes closed.

The old man didn't even open his eyes and lazily replied, "Madam, this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit is a rare item. It's already rare to have one for sale on this street. I just put it out for display. If you come later, it will definitely be bought by someone else."

"Only one..." Wen Zhiyun was also in a dilemma. The Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit was indeed big, but one fruit divided among eight daughters was simply not enough to eat. At most, they could have a taste.

But there was no other choice. It was better than no one getting to eat it.

"Do you want this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit? If you do, take it with one Low Grade Immortal Crystal," the old man's voice remained lazy.

The Immortal Crystal was the common currency in the upper realm, a higher-level crystal than the spiritual stones.

One Low Grade Immortal Crystal was worth ten thousand Supreme Grade spiritual stones.

"So expensive?" Wen Zhiyun was also shocked by the price of this fruit. It was just an ordinary-looking spiritual fruit, but it cost ten thousand Supreme Grade spiritual stones to buy. As someone from the mortal realm, she felt it was not worth it.

The old man opened one eye and saw the expression on Wen Zhiyun's face. He said indifferently, "This Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit has its price. I'm not trying to cheat you. If you don't believe me, you can inquire. If I cheat you, you can bring people to smash my shop."

"Look at how your daughter is drooling. Just buy it for her to eat," the old man said as he saw the daughters' eager expressions.

"A piece of Low Grade Immortal Crystal, it's not very expensive."

The old man saw Chen Yike's craving and used this gluttonous person to put pressure on Wen Zhiyun.

Wen Zhiyun understood the old man's intention, but with all eight of her daughters wanting to eat, she could only reluctantly take out a piece of Low Grade Immortal Crystal and throw it to the old man, saying, "Shopkeeper, you better not cheat me. My husband is quite capable in the Sacred Land."

"How could that be? I, this old man, do business based on the principle of 'sincerity.'"

The old man took the thrown Immortal Crystal with a smile on his face.

Wen Zhiyun gave him a disdainful look, but she wasn't naive enough to believe what a businessman said.

Based on the principle of 'sincerity'?

Who doesn't know that businessmen are cunning?

It's more like the principle of 'deception'...

Wen Zhiyun sneered in her heart and reached out to pick up the red fruit on the display counter.

But just as her hand was about to touch the fruit, a fair jade hand suddenly reached out and snatched it away before her.

At some point, a woman with a child appeared on the other side of the display counter.

The woman was wearing a colorful robe and a crown adorned with jewels, exuding an extremely luxurious temperament.

The child's clothes, pants, and boots were all high-grade Law Weapons, not cheap.

The woman took Wen Zhiyun's recently purchased Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit without permission and casually took out a piece of Low Grade Immortal Crystal, saying in a somewhat domineering tone, "I'll take this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit, and I'll give you a piece of Low Grade Immortal Crystal in return."

"What do you mean?"

Wen Zhiyun didn't take the thrown Immortal Crystal, letting it fall to the ground with a crisp sound, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowing.

The woman's brows furrowed even deeper than hers, but soon relaxed, and she sneered contemptuously, "What? Not enough? Then how about I give you two more pieces, three pieces enough?"

After saying that, she took out two pieces of Low Grade Immortal Crystal and threw them at Wen Zhiyun's feet, with a strong sense of insult.

Shen Qingyi couldn't bear to watch anymore and said in a cold voice, "Sorry, this is not about money, it's about who came first. We have already paid for this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit, please return it to us."

"Who came first? You bought it first, but I got my hands on this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit first!"

The woman's face was full of provocation, clearly not intending to reason with them, but rather to bully the three of them.

Gu Xinyue, who had been watching the show, looked at the old man in front and said to him, "Shopkeeper, we have already paid for this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit. Please come and mediate."

Before the old man could speak, the woman preemptively said, "Mediate? I am the one who decides here!"

After saying that, she took out three pieces of Low Grade Immortal Crystal and threw them to the old man, saying, "I got my hands on this Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit first, so who does it belong to?"

"It belongs to you, it belongs to you. This Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit definitely belongs to you." The old man happily caught the three pieces of Low Grade Immortal Crystal thrown at him, smiling from ear to ear.

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but curse, "Money-grubbing scum!"

Unfortunately, the old man didn't care at all. As long as the money was in place, he was satisfied.

"Let's go, little treasure, let's go home and eat the Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit," the woman said triumphantly, pulling her son's hand. As she walked away, she couldn't help but taunt Wen Zhiyun with a glance.

Wen Zhiyun was already angry, and now being taunted by the woman, her anger was instantly ignited.

She walked towards the woman with a cold face, reaching out to grab the Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit in the woman's hand, and bluntly said, "Give me the Abyssal Bathing Fire Fruit!"

The woman, seeing her coming to snatch it directly, immediately raised her hand and slapped her.

"Smack!"

With just one crisp slap, the entire shop fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
