Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 56: The Seductive Beauty

"Husband, today I personally cooked your favorite spiritual chicken noodles. I've already served a bowl for you on the dining table. Hurry up and eat, otherwise the noodles will shrink and the texture will become bad if they sit for too long," said Song Huaying, looking virtuous as she walked out of the house.

As she spoke, she walked up to Chen An and stopped in front of him, reaching out her hands towards Chen Yuejian in his arms, saying, "Xiaoyuejian, come to mommy. Daddy is going to have breakfast."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Chen Yuejian shook her head like a tambourine and held onto her father's neck, refusing to leave his embrace.

Seeing this, Song Huaying furrowed her eyebrows and wanted to scold her disobedient daughter.

Chen An, who doted on his daughter, smiled and said, "It's alright, I can hold her and eat at the same time."

"Husband, this will spoil the child!" Song Huaying pouted, feeling that her husband was spoiling their daughter too much.

Chen An looked at his wife's rosy lips and couldn't help but lean forward and kiss her, saying, "It's fine, I'll spoil her this time. If she does this again next time, you can scold her."

"Alright then," Song Huaying pursed her lips.

They entered the hall.

Chen An sat down with his daughter in his arms and they ate the noodles together.

"I want to eat, Daddy!" Chen Yuejian looked at the noodles in the bowl, drooling.

Chen An was amused and pinched her little cheek, correcting her, "Xiaoyuejian, you should say it like this: Daddy, I want to eat!"

"And not say: I want to eat, Daddy!"

"Daddy is not the noodles in the bowl, you can't eat him."

Chen Yuejian didn't understand what her father was saying.

At one year old, she could only express her most basic needs and couldn't understand what adults were saying very well.

Chen An naturally knew this, but he still patiently taught her.

With more teaching, she would eventually understand.

If she wasn't taught and had to understand on her own, she might never grasp the meaning of "early" in the phrase "sooner or later."

"I want to eat, Daddy!"

Seeing that her father didn't feed her the noodles, Chen Yuejian anxiously expressed her desire to eat again.

Song Huaying, who was beside them, immediately looked displeased and scolded her, saying, "You, little girl, you didn't eat when mommy fed you just now, and now you want Daddy to feed you. Why are you so mischievous?!"

"Um--" Chen Yuejian was scolded and felt like crying. Her little mouth pouted, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she let out a long cry.

Song Huaying, not indulging her, stared at her and said, "Chen Yuejian, if you dare to cry, you won't sleep with me tonight!"

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Chen Yuejian immediately stopped crying, afraid to make a sound.

Chen An looked at this situation and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

He didn't expect that his usually gentle and tender wife would be so strict in front of their daughter.

After finishing breakfast,

Take a rest for a while.

Feeling like it's about time,

Chen An walked into the alchemy room and began refining the elixir to be delivered to the Bamboo Leaf Gang's logistics department tomorrow.

Just as he was about to light the furnace,

There suddenly came a series of urgent knocking and shouting from outside the house.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Master Chen, are you there?"

"Help!"

"My son has been poisoned, please come out and save him!"

It was the voice of Mo Lifang.

Chen An recognized it and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

On the way back just now, Mo Lifang's son was clearly lively and energetic, how did he get poisoned in the blink of an eye?

Without thinking too much, he grabbed a bottle of antidote and put it in his pocket, then left the alchemy room, intending to go out and see what was going on first.

When he arrived in the courtyard outside, his three wives were already there.

However, none of them opened the door rashly, they were very cautious.

"Husband, that child looks like he's about to die, his whole face is turning purple."

Song Huaying looked at Mo Lifang outside the door, her face full of worry.

Kind-hearted as she was, she didn't want to see a young life come to an end.

The same was true for Wen Zhiyun and Gu Xinyue.

"Creak—"

Chen An opened the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Mo Lifang immediately walked up with her son in her arms, her face full of anxiety.

"Master Chen, please save my son!"

"I beg you, Master Chen!"

"As long as you can save my son, I will do anything to repay your kindness!"

Mo Lifang's tone was very excited, with the appearance of a desperate mother trying to save her child.

However, Chen An always felt that something was off.

But now was not the time to dwell on these things.

He looked at Mo Lifang and asked, "What kind of poison did your son get and when did it happen?"

Mo Lifang hurriedly replied, "I just took him to the woods to pick snakeberries, and his neck was bitten by something. Suddenly, his face turned purple and he fell to the ground. It hasn't been long, less than fifteen minutes."

After listening, Chen An examined the wound on the child's neck.

After a moment of identification,

He found that it was a bite from a Thousand Poison Spider.

His brow furrowed.

He glanced at Mo Lifang in front of him, wanting to say something to her, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He just took out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into the mouth of the widow's child, first helping the child detoxify before anything else.

The venom of the Thousand Poison Spider was strong, but it happened to be able to be detoxified by the detoxification pill.

However, the child's consciousness was already blurred, and it took a lot of effort to make him swallow the detoxification pill.

As soon as the detoxification pill entered his stomach,

The purple color on the child's face visibly faded away.

Regaining color.

After observing for a while, Chen An saw that there were no abnormal conditions and said to Mo Lifang, "Alright, there's nothing major. Take your son home to rest for a few days and he will recover."

"Thank you, thank you for saving us, Master Chen Dan!" Mo Lifang knelt down and kowtowed to Chen An, expressing her gratitude. "Master Chen Dan, your great kindness, I, a weak woman, have no way to repay. I am willing to become a servant in the Chen Dan family and serve at your command."

"No need, it's a small matter. You can take your son and go home." Chen An waved his hand and issued an order for her to leave.

Mo Lifang was very understanding and quickly expressed her gratitude. "Then I won't disturb Master Chen Dan anymore. I will forever remember Master Chen Dan's lifesaving grace, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay it."

After speaking, she got up with her child and left.

After she had gone far, Chen An's face suddenly turned cold.

He instructed his three wives beside him, "You all should stay away from that Mo widow we just encountered. Don't get close to her. Even if she were to die in front of our house, do not open the door to save her."

Hearing him say this, his wives couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Among them, Song Huaying asked, "Husband, what exactly is going on?"

Chen An explained, "The Thousand Poison Spider, although it carries a highly toxic venom, is naturally timid. It will actively move away if it senses someone approaching within ten meters."

"The only two situations in which someone can be bitten by the Thousand Poison Spider are: one, the person actively tries to catch the spider and accidentally gets bitten, but in this case, it usually only bites the hand; two, someone grabs the spider and forces it to bite the person."

"Moreover, did you notice the anxious expression on that widow's face just now?"

Upon hearing this, his wives all had a serious expression.

They hadn't noticed the unnatural expression on Mo Lifang's face, but they understood what their husband had said about the Thousand Poison Spider.

Song Huaying felt a sense of horror and disbelief. "Husband, are you saying that the reason that child was bitten by the Thousand Poison Spider was intentional on the part of his mother?"

"Most likely," Chen An replied.

"This..."

Song Huaying felt that her worldview had been overturned.

Wen Zhiyun frowned and asked, "Husband, what is the purpose of the widow's actions?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess she wants to get close to me and become one of my wives," Chen An said without any concealment.

Upon hearing this, his wives suddenly realized.

They were well aware of the situation in Green Willow Lane during this period of time.

There were widows everywhere, and orphans were wandering around.

Every widow was trying their best to find a good family for themselves.

With so many people, all sorts of unscrupulous behavior began to emerge.

And that Mo widow just now was a femme fatale who deliberately poisoned her own son in order to establish a connection with Chen An.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

Chen An had finished refining all the pills he needed during the day.

The entire night was spent practicing cultivation with his wives.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen An had them bathe together and exchange insights in the room, progressing together.

After a night passed, Chen An sat up from the bed feeling somewhat tired.

He had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

But he didn't feel particularly sleepy.

Since breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, his need for sleep had decreased significantly.

Even if he stayed up all day, he could maintain his energy even without sleeping the next day.

With a thought, he brought up the information from last night's exchange with his wives to check the content.

[Fire Spirit Root Aptitude +2] x33

[Alchemy Experience +3] x9

[Spiritual Sense Intensity +3] x28

[Goldfinger Proficiency +3+3+2+3+2+2+2+3+2+3...]

"Not bad, a significant improvement," Chen An smiled with satisfaction.

Then he had another thought and brought up the attribute panels of his three wives and himself to check the data.

[Name: Song Huaying]

"Alchemy and Goldfinger are about to break through. I'll strive to break through in alchemy within ten days, and in Goldfinger within two days," Chen An felt slightly excited as he looked at the progress bars for alchemy and Goldfinger on the panel.
