Chapter 9: Ordinary Days

Chen An was stunned. His young wife was pregnant?

Before he could react, the next second, a wave of unfamiliar memories suddenly surged and forcefully inserted itself into his brain, rapidly flickering inside...

It was the memory of the formula for the Heartbreak Pill.

The ingredients for alchemy were common and could be bought at the medicine shops in the market, and they were not expensive.

The process of refining was routine and had no difficulty at all.

The effect of the pill was to refresh the mind and suppress desire, without any side effects.

"This system is also well-intentioned."

Chen An laughed bitterly.

From the effect of the Heartbreak Pill, he estimated that this Marry and Have Children System was afraid that he couldn't hold back during his wife's pregnancy and insisted on having intimate relations, which would harm his wife's health.

As for preventing him from cheating during his wife's pregnancy...

Chen An felt that this option could be directly excluded.

After all, from the scattered information in the past prompts, he could tell that the Marry and Have Children System wanted him to have many companions and a large family.

"Husband, what do you mean by 'well-intentioned'?"

Song Huaying heard Chen An's murmuring just now and couldn't help but feel curious.

Chen An hugged her delicate body from behind and whispered in her ear:

"Yinger, want to hear some good news?"

"What good news?"

"You're pregnant."

"Ah?"

Song Huaying was momentarily stunned, then a great joy surged in her heart.

I'm going to have a child for my husband!

[Your wife, Song Huaying, knowing that she is pregnant with your child, her affection for you +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]

...

In the following days,

Chen An refrained from touching his young wife, allowing her to properly nurture the baby.

Meanwhile, he focused on alchemy to earn money.

He could withstand loneliness and had patience, so he didn't need the Heartbreak Pill at all.

However, he still needed to refine the pill.

Because a few days ago, he tried to make some for sale and found that there was a high demand for the Heartbreak Pill in the market.

The largest group of customers were male cultivators with multiple wives and concubines.

The main reasons were:

First, they had too many wives at home, and only one man couldn't handle it, so they needed to suppress their wives' desires.

Second, sometimes they needed to go out for a long time to hunt for spirit stones, and they were afraid that their wives would be tempted by the neighbor, so they needed to suppress their wives' desires.

As for the remaining customer groups, it was more diverse, basically including all kinds of people.

But their reasons for buying the Heartbreak Pill were basically the same, they needed to stay focused on their tasks and eliminate distractions.

While Chen An focused on alchemy, Song Huaying, as his wife, seemed a bit idle.

After marrying him, her daily activities of being intimate with her husband had become the most important thing in her day.

Now that she couldn't do it, she suddenly had a lot of free time.

Apart from cleaning, doing laundry, and cooking, she didn't know what else to do.

Sometimes, when she was bored, she would sit alone by the window and watch outside.

She would watch the grass and trees swaying in the wind, the birds occasionally flying by, and a pretty female cultivator from the opposite house coming out to relieve herself.

In short, it was very boring.

One day, when Chen An finished refining the pill and came out, he saw his wife sitting by the window, motionless, staring outside. He couldn't help but curiously ask:

"Yinger, what are you looking at?"

"Husband, I'm watching the fairy from the opposite house come out to relieve herself."

"What's so interesting about that?"

"Husband, I always thought that immortals didn't have worldly needs, but I didn't expect that fairies also need to pee like ordinary people."

"If their cultivation level is not high, they can't completely detach from the mortal world. They still have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves."

"Husband, that fairy who's relieving herself is so pretty."

"She is indeed beautiful, but compared to my Yinger, she's still a bit lacking."

Chen An smoothly flattered.

After finishing speaking, he moved a chair and sat down next to his young wife, chatting and saying sweet words.

They talked about their past, their present, and their future.

Every time he came out of the alchemy room, Chen An would always come to chat with his young wife as usual.

After all, women need companionship.

Especially when there are only two people left at home and they can't go out to relax, they need even more companionship.

...

Days passed by.

Chen An was busy with alchemy almost every day, from morning till night.

Gradually, their financial situation became prosperous again.

They had a quantity of low-grade spirit stones that reached three digits.

Up to 108 pieces.

And all this happened in less than a month.

"Maintain this earning speed, and the core area of Bamboo Leaf Forest is within reach."

Chen An sat in the alchemy room, sweating profusely, looking at the Broken Love Pill he had just refined in front of him, silently encouraging himself.

Before getting married, he didn't care where he lived, as long as he had enough to eat.

But since he had his young wife, he had the idea of moving to the core area.

Especially now that his young wife was pregnant, this idea became stronger day by day, almost becoming an obsession.

He set a minimum goal for himself.

Before the child was born, he must save enough spirit stones to move to the core area.

"Husband, I made some sweet soup. Are you available to come out and drink it now?"

Song Huaying's voice came from outside the alchemy room.

Now, when she communicated with Chen An, she no longer used the humble term "妾身" to refer to herself. This was a request made by Chen An.

"Coming!"

Chen An responded, took off the towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat, then quickly got up and pushed open the door.

Song Huaying served a bowl of sweet soup for her husband, which was mung bean sweet soup.

This was taught by her husband. It was not only simple and delicious, but also had a cooling effect in the hot summer, which was very suitable for her husband who stayed in the alchemy room every day.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Chen Dan Master, come out and pay the rent!"

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the house.

It was Steward Zhang coming to collect the rent.

Hearing the knocking sound, Song Huaying sighed and said, "Time flies. Another month has passed, and it's time to pay the rent."

"Yes, time flies."

Chen An responded to his young wife and then took three low-grade spirit stones and went out to pay the rent.

He paid it easily, without any difficulty.

Steward Zhang couldn't help but joke, saying that Chen Dan Master had made a fortune.

After saying that, he went to the next house to collect the rent without staying for long.

As for the other low-level cultivators, they were not as relaxed as Chen An. Many of them couldn't afford the rent and asked Steward Zhang for more time.

Unfortunately, Steward Zhang had no sympathy and one day of delay was not allowed.

No money to pay the rent?

Then move out!

Helpless, several low-level cultivators were forced to leave Bamboo Leaf Forest.

As for those who stayed, although they successfully paid the rent, most of them relied on their previous savings.

Once the savings were exhausted, they would eventually be kicked out.

The pressure was immense.

Many female cultivators who couldn't afford the rent started actively looking for partners to rely on in order to continue surviving in Bamboo Leaf Forest.

They specifically targeted those who were wealthy, such as alchemists, talisman makers, and weapon masters.

During this period, several female cultivators who lived nearby caught Chen An's attention, but they were all rejected.

Because these female cultivators who actively approached him were all experienced and cunning.

Chen An was worried that he couldn't handle them and would end up in a bad situation.

If he really had to accept a female cultivator's reliance, he would only accept those who were young, inexperienced, and still appeared innocent.
