Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 62: Vow (35)

"Fellow Daoist Mo, it's so late. What brings you here to find me?"

Chen An and Mo Lifang stood facing each other through the door.

Mo Lifang raised the pot in her hand and smiled, "Master Chen, I just made some sweet soup at home. Since you helped me so much that day, I made some extra for you to taste."

"Fellow Daoist Mo, is there someone next to you?"

"Oh, let me introduce you to Master Chen. This is Tang, the steward of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall. I'm sure you know him. He is now my husband."

Mo Lifang introduced with a smile outside the door.

Seeing Chen An's apparent surprise, Tang, who was standing beside him, smiled and explained,

"It's like this, Master Chen. On my way to Green Willow Lane today, I saw Fang'er sitting on the ground in a daze. Out of concern, I went up and asked her what happened. I learned that her previous husband died in battle, and now she is alone and helpless. I can't bear to see a woman in such a pitiful state, so I brought her home to take care of her."

Well, that sounds nice. If it weren't for your already tarnished reputation, and if you didn't have such an innocent look on your face, I might have been fooled by you...

Chen An thought to himself, but on the surface, he pretended to admire and nodded, "So that's how it is. Steward Tang is truly kind-hearted, a role model for us all."

"Not at all."

Tang modestly waved his hand.

Chen An smiled and then creaked open the courtyard gate, allowing Mo Lifang and Tang to come in.

He didn't want to open the door, but he had no choice.

The other party was a steward of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall. If he let them be turned away, he would offend them and likely be targeted in the future.

Moreover, it was just a small wooden door. If the other party insisted on coming in, he wouldn't be able to stop them at all.

"Master Chen, I made mung bean sweet soup. I don't know if it suits your taste."

After Mo Lifang came in, she handed over the pot in her hand with a warm smile on her face.

In the instant he took the pot, Chen An discreetly used the testing needle he carried with him to check and found that the sweet soup was not poisoned. He then smiled and said, "It definitely suits my taste. Fellow Daoist Mo is so thoughtful."

"Master Chen, won't you invite us in to sit?"

Seeing Chen An standing still and seemingly not intending to go inside, Mo Lifang couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Tang also smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Chen, I forgot to drink water on my way here and I'm very thirsty now. Could you please fetch a bowl for me to pour some sweet soup and quench my thirst?"

Drinking sweet soup was just an excuse; he really wanted to enter the house and catch a glimpse of Chen An's wives and concubines.

Chen An understood the character of this Tang steward and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he naturally invited him in, saying, "I haven't been a good host. Please, come in, Fellow Daoist Mo, Steward Tang."

"Not at all, it's us who have disturbed Master Chen."

Tang smiled and said.

Soon, the three of them sat down at the tea table in the hall and drank the sweet soup while chatting.

During the conversation, Tang mentioned how Chen An had helped his daughter Fang'er so much that he, as her husband, had to express his gratitude. He told Chen An that as a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, he was familiar with a steward in charge of logistics and could manipulate the supply of elixirs, allowing Chen An to save at least half of his monthly supply.

To avoid appearing too deliberately kind-hearted, he also mentioned splitting the profits evenly afterward.

After saying this, he smiled and asked, "Master Chen, what do you think?"

"Tang Steward, I am a rather timid person and dare not take such risks. I'm afraid I would waste your kindness."

Chen An smiled and politely declined.

These widowed Mo and Tang, one was a venomous woman, and the other was constantly coveting other people's wives and concubines. Cooperating with these two would be like walking into a tiger's den.

During this special period, if an alchemist dared to tamper with the supply of elixirs and was caught by the Law Enforcement Hall of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, they would be taken away to become a slave alchemist on the front lines and would never be able to return home.

Chen An guessed that this Tang steward probably wanted to appear cooperative on the surface, then quickly distance himself in secret, and finally, as a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, capture him and make him a slave alchemist.

In this way, Tang would have made a contribution to the gang, and he would have obtained the coveted wives and concubines. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

"By the way, Master Chen, why don't you invite your three wives and concubines to come and drink sweet soup?"

Mo Lifang asked with some confusion.

The purpose of her visit was to let Steward Tang see the beauty of Chen An's three wives and concubines and completely arouse his interest.

Chen An: "They're all asleep."

Mo Lifang: "They're already asleep so early?"

Chen An: "My wives and concubines were too tired today. After dinner, they rested and fell asleep."

Mo Lifang: "I see..."

When Chen An saw that it was about time, he gave the two of them a dismissal order, smiling apologetically and saying, "I'm sorry, but Bamboo Leaf Gang is demanding a large quantity of elixirs from me. I'll have to work overtime to refine them later. If you two don't have any urgent matters, let's chat another day."

"Since that's the case, we won't disturb Master Chen any longer. We'll talk another day."

After saying that, Mo Lifang and Tang Zhi Shi didn't stay in the hall any longer. They got up and left Chen An's house.

Once the two of them had left the courtyard and their figures gradually disappeared, Chen An finally told his wife and concubines who were hiding in the room that they could come out.

When his wives and concubines came out, Song Huaying, in particular, asked with a worried expression, "Husband, why did Tang Zhi Shi suddenly come to our house?"

Chen An didn't hide anything and directly stated his speculation, saying, "Most likely, Tang Zhi Shi has set his sights on the three of you."

Upon hearing this, his wives and concubines all had a slight change in their expressions.

They all knew that Tang Zhi Shi had a preference for married women.

"Mother, I want to drink sweet soup."

Chen Yuejian, who was in Song Huaying's arms, looked at the pot of mung bean sweet soup on the table and said in a sweet voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen An immediately had Gu Xinyue pour out the mung bean sweet soup and throw away the pot as well. He chose to go to the kitchen himself to cook sweet soup for his daughter.

Soon, the sweet soup was ready.

The family of five sat together and enjoyed it, their faces filled with delight.

Chen An's culinary skills were exceptional, and they couldn't stop drinking.

After a while, they finished drinking.

Song Huaying thought of Tang Zhi Shi who had just come to their house and couldn't help but show her worry again, saying, "Husband, if the three of us are really targeted by Tang Zhi Shi, will there be any trouble?"

He was a member of the Bamboo Leaf Gang's Law Enforcement Hall and had a cultivation level of Qi Refining Ninth Layer. She was afraid that her husband wouldn't be able to handle it.

Chen An reached out and pulled her into his arms, comforting her by stroking her head, saying, "Yinger, don't worry too much. Both me and your sister Wen have a cultivation level of Qi Refining Eighth Layer. There's no need to fear Tang Zhi Shi."

"Okay, Yinger believes in husband."

Song Huaying nestled in Chen An's arms, listening to the continuous sound of his heartbeat from above, feeling very reassured.

Gu Xinyue, who was on the side, also expressed her worry, saying, "Husband, Yue'er is also very worried..."

Chen An understood what his icy concubine meant and reached out to embrace her as well, comforting her, "It's alright, you won't worry if I hold you."

Wen Zhiyun on the side also wanted to be held after seeing this, but her proud personality didn't allow her to ask for it. She just looked at Chen An silently, hinting crazily.

Chen An noticed her hint and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. He could only reach out and pull her into his arms as well.

"Daddy, I want a hug too!"

Chen Yuejian, who was young, saw all three of her mothers cuddling in her father's arms and couldn't help but run over and ask for a hug.

Chen An made some space for his daughter and hugged her as well.

With four of them hugging, the scene was very warm.

[Emotional +2+3+1+5+4+3+3+1+5 from wives, concubines, and daughter...]

...

On the other side.

On a towering tree hundreds of meters away from Chen An's house.

Tang Zhi Shi stood with Mo Lifang on a sturdy branch, holding a telescope and observing everything inside Chen An's house.

"Beautiful, so beautiful. Chen Dan Shi's three wives are truly beautiful!"

"Fang'er, think of another way quickly. I can't help but want to indulge those three beauties!"

"At the latest tomorrow night, I will bring all of them to bed!"

While Tang Zhi Shi was peering into the hall where Chen An was embracing his three wives, he couldn't contain his excitement and impatience, urging Mo Lifang beside him.

Seeing Tang Zhi Shi's eager expression, Mo Lifang felt increasingly disgusted in her heart.

But now that she was dependent on others, she could only silently endure it.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Lifang came up with an idea and immediately whispered it to Tang Zhi Shi's ear.

Tang Zhi Shi's eyes lit up when he heard it. He pulled Mo Lifang into his arms and kissed her beautiful face, saying, "Fang'er, you're so wise. I'm so lucky to have such a wise helper."
