Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 129 Escaping the Clutches (12)

Chen An ran, running very fast.

He didn't dare to fly with his sword because it would be too exposed, making him an easy target, and there would be limited maneuvering space while suspended in the air.

Running on the ground provided many places to hide and terrain that could help him shake off his pursuers.

"This Foundation Building cultivator runs quite fast."

The woman in the purple dress watched Chen An getting farther away without any sense of urgency, only a calm and seductive smile on her face.

Soon, she lightly lifted the slender jade leg under her skirt and took a small step forward.

In the next instant.

The scenery of flowers and plants around her suddenly shifted, like the view outside a high-speed train window, instantly becoming blurry.

And all of this happened in the instant she lifted her leg.

When her delicate foot, adorned with purple embroidered shoes, touched the ground, she, who had been pulled hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away by Chen An, instantly appeared in front of him.

Shrink the Earth to an Inch!

"Young master, where are you going?"

The woman in the purple dress parted her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with a condescending gaze, and her flawless face was full of playfulness.

Looking at the enchanting woman in front of him, Chen An's heart sank instantly.

When did she catch up?

Why didn't my spiritual awareness and senses react?

The difference in strength is too great!

I'm done for today!

Chen An's mind was filled with despair.

Fortunately, these thoughts disappeared in an instant.

In the next moment.

Without hesitation, he turned around and continued to flee.

He thought of his wife and daughter at home. As the head of the family, he had to go back and take care of them. How could he fall here?

Even if the hope is slim, he must escape!

If he can't escape, he will submit and become this woman's lackey.

If that doesn't work, he will fight back with all his might!

"Unfortunately, I'm only a cultivator with dual innate roots of gold and fire. I haven't learned the corresponding escape techniques."

"If I still had the innate roots of earth and wood, I could learn earth escape and wood escape techniques, giving me a definite advantage in escaping in these mountains and forests."

While fleeing, Chen An thought to himself.

Behind him, the woman in the purple dress stood still, watching him run away, a hint of a cat-and-mouse smile on her lips.

When he had run thousands of kilometers away, the woman in the purple dress took another light step forward.

In the next instant, she appeared directly in front of his escape route.

"Young master, do you want to continue running?"

The woman in the purple dress always had a smile in her eyes, not worried at all that Chen An would escape from her grasp.

Chen An stopped running, no longer fleeing.

He knew that he couldn't outrun the woman in the purple dress.

The result of running would only be a waste of his spiritual energy.

"A wise man submits to circumstances."

Seeing that Chen An had stopped running, the woman in the purple dress smiled again, pure and seductive.

She took graceful steps, smiling as she walked towards Chen An, her voice as pleasant as a yellow oriole, "Don't worry, I won't torture you. I'll only absorb your essence energy. Once I'm satisfied, I'll stop. Whether you can withstand it or not depends on how abundant your essence energy is."

Just as the woman in the purple dress was about to reach him.

Chen An saw the shadow under her feet and suddenly remembered that he still had a spell called the Shadow Killing Technique.

Without hesitation, he used the Shadow Killing Technique with a single thought.

At the same time, he also used the Aura Concealing Technique.

Then, he instantly disappeared in place, diving into the shadow under the woman's dress.

"Huh? Where did he go?"

The woman in the purple dress was a bit confused.

Then, quickly, her spiritual awareness expanded, her senses expanded, constantly searching for Chen An's figure.

Little did she know, Chen An was hiding in the shadow under her dress.

Feeling the powerful divine consciousness emanating from the woman in the purple dress, Chen An dared not move at all, constantly restraining his own breath and emptying his mind as much as possible.

Afraid of being sensed by the woman in the purple dress.

"How strange, how did this human male cultivator suddenly disappear?"

"Is it haunted?"

The woman in the purple dress searched for a while, but still couldn't sense Chen An's presence, feeling puzzled.

She refused to believe it and continued searching for a while, but still couldn't find any trace of Chen An.

Helpless, she had no choice but to give up and leave with a sense of frustration.

During this time, Chen An had been hiding in her shadow, restraining his breath. When he noticed a spiritual mouse passing by not far ahead, he had a thought and transferred into the shadow of the mouse.

"Hmm?"

The woman in the purple dress suddenly stopped, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowing.

Just now, she sensed Chen An's presence.

But it was fleeting, quickly disappearing without a trace.

"An illusion?"

The woman in the purple dress was puzzled.

On the other side.

Chen An had already followed the running of the spiritual mouse, gradually distancing himself from the woman in the purple dress.

Until he couldn't see her anymore.

Then, he had a thought and emerged from the shadow of the mouse, heading straight towards home.

"That was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, I know the Shadow Killing Technique and Aura Concealing Technique, otherwise it would have been very dangerous. I would have been drained by that fox demon."

"Thinking about it, I'm really scared."

"By the way, I wonder how revealing the underside of that woman's purple dress would be. If I wasn't afraid of being sensed by her divine consciousness just now, I would definitely have looked up and admired it."

Chen An thought about these random things and quickly returned to the underground passage of his home.

He had originally wanted to explore the abandoned wooden houses and see if he could collect some supplies.

But out of caution, he ultimately dismissed this idea.

He thought about staying in the underground passage for ten days or half a month, observing the situation outside before making a decision.

Anyway, he had enough supplies stored to last for a year or more.

"Husband, why did you take so long to come back?"

As Chen An walked to the central open area of the underground passage, Wen Zhiyun, holding their daughter Chen Yike, walked over and asked.

Song Huaying also followed, her face full of worry. "Husband, I've been using a sound transmission talisman to contact you, but you didn't respond. Did something happen upstairs?"

Shen Qingyi and Gu Xinyue didn't speak, but their gazes fell on Chen An, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Chen An didn't intend to hide anything and truthfully said:

"I just encountered a fox demon upstairs that feeds on the essence of human males. The spiritual pressure emanating from it reached the Gold Core realm, and it had nine tails, suspected to be the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox."

Nine-Tailed Fox?

Upon hearing these four words, his wives all showed surprise.

This was a legendary monster.

Among ten thousand fox demons, not even one would appear.

How could it possibly appear in the Red Cedar Forest?

His wives all thought this way.

Among them, Shen Qingyi asked, "Husband, is it possible that you saw it wrong?"

"If it really is a Nine-Tailed Fox, how did you escape from its hands just now?"

Shen Qingyi had a straightforward personality and always spoke her mind.

She didn't doubt that Chen An was lying, but she had some doubts in her heart.

Chen An thought for a moment and said, "I shouldn't have seen it wrong. It indeed had nine tails, but I'm not too sure if it's specifically a Nine-Tailed Fox."

"It should just be an ordinary fox demon." Shen Qingyi explained, "The Nine-Tailed Fox is the supreme existence among fox demons. Many fox demons aspire to become a Nine-Tailed Fox and often use some tails to decorate themselves, experiencing the appearance of a Nine-Tailed Fox."

Cosplay?

Is it really just decoration?

Chen An recalled the scene of the woman in the purple dress descending from the sky. He remembered that the nine tails behind her were moving. For a moment, he couldn't figure out her identity.
