Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 148: One Punch Man (22)

Red Cedar Forest, Hundred Herbs Lane.

Chen An had just flown on his sword to the entrance of his underground passage when he heard a series of overlapping sounds coming from inside.

It was the sound of Chen Yuejian playing the piano and Chen Yike practicing martial arts.

"My daughters are really diligent..." Listening to the sounds made by his two daughters, Chen An couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The frustration that had just arisen from escaping the fox demon's tail being cut off had instantly disappeared.

He landed on his sword.

Entered the underground passage.

Arrived at the hall.

Chen An saw his four wives sitting around the dining table in the hall, each with a worried expression on their faces.

Obviously, they were worried because their husband had come home late, causing them concern.

"Husband, why are you coming back so late again!"

"And, why don't you ever respond to our messages!"

Seeing that Chen An had finally returned, Wen Zhiyun immediately stood up and coldly questioned.

Chen An listened and apologized, "Not responding to your messages is indeed my fault. I often forget about it when I get busy."

"But, there is a reason for all this. On my way back from the market, I encountered that troublesome fox demon again."

What?!

Encountered the fox demon again?

The wives' faces changed one after another, feeling surprised, as well as a hint of worry and fear.

"Husband, what exactly is going on? How is it that every time you go out, you encounter that fox demon?"

Song Huaying's face was full of confusion, and she continued, "Red Cedar Forest is so big, but you always encounter that fox demon. It's really unreasonable."

Shen Qingyi thought for a moment and offered her own speculation, "Husband, could it be that the fox demon has placed a spiritual mark on you?"

A mark placed on the husband?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyue's whole person immediately became uneasy, worrying for her husband.

But the next moment, Chen An's words relieved her.

Chen An said, "It's unlikely. Although my cultivation level is only at the Gold Core stage, my spiritual power is not weaker than a cultivator at the ninth level of the Gold Core stage."

"And based on my several encounters with that fox demon, her cultivation level is probably only at the mid-stage of the Gold Core stage."

"Other than her spiritual power being stronger than mine, her physical body and spiritual power are weaker than mine. It's impossible for her to place a spiritual mark on me without me noticing."

"Moreover, if she really had placed a spiritual mark on me, she would have probably found her way to our home following the mark, so there would be no need for her to search for me everywhere."

Chen An's words were reasonable and well-founded.

Shen Qingyi nodded after listening, "You're right, husband. I didn't consider it properly."

"Husband, is that fox demon still a threat to you now?" Gu Xinyue asked with a worried expression.

"There should be no threat." To reassure his wives, Chen An said confidently, "Now, that fox demon is like a cockroach that's difficult to kill in front of me. Maybe she can escape from my hands, but she definitely can't harm me in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, the four wives felt much more at ease.

Song Huaying moved closer to him and sat down, intimately holding his arm. Her rosy lips were as sweet as honey as she said, "Husband, you're amazing. I feel like in less than two years, you'll definitely achieve Nascent Soul."

"You're just being smooth-tongued." Chen An pinched his little wife's cherry lips and smiled.

Song Huaying's beautiful eyes curved sweetly as she smiled, "I'm not being smooth-tongued. It's your tongue that's smooth, able to move flexibly like a worm, always wriggling around."

The other three wives blushed upon hearing this.

Among them, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but give Song Huaying a disdainful look and said with a displeased expression, "You really are something. You only learn the bad things and not the good things. You've been influenced by your husband and don't say anything serious."

At this moment, there was a sound of fast footsteps coming from the corridor ahead.

Chen Yike rushed out of her room.

Looking like a reckless mud truck, she directly crashed into her father's thigh with a loud "thud."

Then, she skillfully opened her arms and hugged her father's thigh, raising her little face and shouting loudly:

"Dad, I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

The sound was loud, causing everyone present to have a buzzing sensation in their ears.

Wen Zhiyun pulled Chen Yike over and scolded her, "You silly child, why are you shouting so loudly!"

"Mama, I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

Chen Yike seemed to not understand human language and opened her mouth to shout again.

Wen Zhiyun was annoyed and suddenly felt that it would be better if her silly daughter didn't learn to speak, so she wouldn't have to shout and make a racket all day long.

Soon, Chen Yike got her wish and started playing on the seesaw.

[You played on the seesaw with your daughter Chen Yike, increasing your father-daughter bond by 1.]

On the other side, Shen Qingyi had always been curious about how her husband dealt with the fox demon. She couldn't help but ask, "Husband, I want to know how you dealt with the fox demon's charm technique?"

As soon as she said this, the other three wives' gazes fell on Chen An.

In fact, they were all quite curious about this.

Chen An never treated his wives as outsiders, so since they asked, he told them everything.

However, he held back some details and only gave a general explanation.

He didn't describe in detail the system rewards such as the Sage's Art, Deliberate Punch, Dragon's Roar, and so on.

It wasn't that he was guarding against his wives, but he simply felt that if they knew too much, there would be a risk of his trump cards being exposed.

After all, this was the cultivation world, where various secret techniques existed.

For example, memory search and hypnotic questioning.

He was worried that if his wives knew about these trump cards, they might become his weaknesses or a breakthrough point for others to target.

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

After the family of seven finished dinner and chatted for a while, they all went about their own business.

That night, Chen An didn't rush to find his wives for intimacy as usual.

Instead, he stayed alone in the pill refining room, studying the refining of third-grade pills.

He was preparing for the pill hall test of the Heaven and Earth Sect in half a year.

His wives knew about this and considerately didn't disturb him. If they had needs, they would try to solve them on their own and not be troublesome women.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

While Chen An was refining pills, there was a continuous muffled sound of punches coming from the room next door.

It was the sound of Chen Yike practicing boxing.

Because the pill refining room was next to Wen Zhiyun's room.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang!"

"This little girl is really diligent."

Listening to the continuous sound of punches, Chen An couldn't help but praise his second daughter.

Just then!

There was a sudden "boom" sound from the front!

Then, the wall between Wen Zhiyun's room and the pill refining room collapsed!

Daughter: "!!!"

Father: "???"

The silly second daughter stood in her mother's room, staring wide-eyed at her bewildered father sitting in the pill refining room through the wall she had smashed with her own punch.
