After returning home, Chen An saw Song Huaying walking in the courtyard with her daughter in her arms.

Gu Xinyue accompanied him. He didn’t see Wen Zhiyun. She was probably cultivating in her room.

“Husband!”

Seeing that her husband had returned from his trip, Song Huaying welcomed him with her usual joy.

Gu Xinyue followed behind and silently helped her husband take down the first aid kit behind him.

“Husband, our daughter must miss you very much. Hurry up and hug her.”

Song Huaying brought Chen Yuejian to her husband and let him hug her.

Chen An hugged his daughter and teased her little face with his fingers.

Unfortunately, her daughter was still young and did not know how to smile. Otherwise, she would be smiling from ear to ear.

After strolling around the courtyard with his wife and concubine for a while.

Chen An quickly came to Wen Zhiyun’s door and stopped. He reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Fellow Cultivator Wen, the situation outside is getting more and more chaotic recently. I’m worried that the prices of goods will increase a lot in the near future. I plan to go out to buy supplies later and want to invite you out with me. I wonder if it’s convenient for you.”

“…”

The room was silent for a long time.

Then, Wen Zhiyun’s intellectual voice came from inside. “Wait for another 15 minutes. I’ll go out with you after I’m done cultivating.”

“Okay, I’ll call you then.”

Chen An said calmly, but he was very surprised. He did not expect this beautiful woman to agree so readily. He thought he would be scolded by her.

In fact, Wen Zhiyun was a person who understood her priorities.

Usually, when they interacted, their comments would be snide and sarcastic.

However, when faced with important matters, she would treat them seriously.

For example, when she went out to buy supplies now, she felt that it was very important and agreed to Chen An’s request without thinking too much.

Because it really was too chaotic outside now.

She was worried that Chen An, who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, would be in danger if he went out to buy supplies.

It was easy to be targeted by some Cultivators with ill intentions.

She felt that if Chen An wanted to go out, he would need her, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, to accompany him.

Soon, 15 minutes passed.

Wen Zhiyun changed into a loose Daoist robe and walked out of the room, covering her curvaceous figure tightly.

It couldn’t be helped. Her figure was too alluring.

If she did not cover it properly, many people would definitely steal dirty glances at her when he walked on the street.

This made her feel disgusted.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The two of them conversed briefly before taking their spirit stones and setting off for the market.

When Song Huaying saw this, she also wanted to go along.

But she was rejected by Chen An.

A mother who had just given birth and had yet to recover would not agree to take a child who was less than a month old out shopping.

Helpless, Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue could only stay at home.

Song Huaying stayed behind to recuperate and Gu Xinyue stayed behind to take care of her.

…

After arriving at the market, Chen An and Wen Zhiyun did not walk around and waste time.

They were shopping with a purpose.

He bought spirit rice to store, bought chickens and kept them in captivity.

He bought seedlings of plants, fruits, and vegetables to grow, and bought talismans to protect himself.

Buying alchemy ingredients as backup and purchasing daily necessities requiring periodic replacement.

After all the major purchases, Chen An’s savings were directly halved, losing nearly 300 low-grade spirit stones.

In comparison, Wen Zhiyun, who was at the side, was fine.

From the beginning to the end, she had only spent less than 10 low-grade spirit stones.

She had only bought a few months’ worth of spirit rice and grains.

Her trip this time was mainly to escort Chen An.

After all, it was so chaotic now. Chen An was only an Alchemist with a cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining. If he brought so many resources home alone, he would definitely be robbed on the way.

Now that she had a cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, it was much safer.

Seeing that they were almost done purchasing the supplies,

The two of them did not stay any longer and immediately set off.

When they passed by an accessory shop, Chen An suddenly stopped and said:

“Fellow Cultivator Wen, I’ll take some time. I’ll go in and buy some accessories for Ying’er and Yue’er.”

“Heh, you only know how to waste money on these useless things.”

As soon as she saw an opportunity, Wen Zhiyun immediately opened her mouth and attacked Chen An without holding back.

When Chen An heard this, he ignored him and walked into the jewelry shop to choose his jewelry.

Then, under the shopkeeper’s introduction, he took a fancy to a pair of jade bracelets.

The price was not expensive. A pair of them added up to only half a spirit stone.

It just so happened that he could buy one for each of his wife and concubine as a gift.

Chen An paid half a spirit stone and asked the shopkeeper to pack it into a wooden box, trying his best to make the packaging look better.

When he was about to leave, he found Wen Zhiyun staring at a pearl bracelet on the counter, her face full of desire.

He took another look at the price of the pearl bracelet.

It was not expensive. It only cost ten taels of gold. That was one-tenth of a low-grade spirit stone.

For a Cultivator who had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, she could easily buy 100 of them with her eyes closed.

However, Wen Zhiyun did not make the purchase for a long time.

Chen An knew that this beautiful woman did not want to slap his face.

After all, when he first came in, the beautiful woman had scolded him, saying that buying these useless things was a waste of money.

It sounded like only a fool would buy it. And now, she wanted to buy it too. This time, she had shot herself in the foot.

“Shopkeeper, wrap this pearl bracelet for me too.”

Chen An said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately took out the bracelet and quickly packed it up. He handed it to Chen An warmly and chuckled.

“Boss, you’re so generous. Please come again.”

“Next time, for sure.”

Chen An replied with a smile.

When Wen Zhiyun saw this scene, she more or less guessed that Chen An might have bought this bracelet to give to her. She instantly became a little nervous.

However, to her surprise, Chen An put the wrapped bracelet into his arms and walked out of the shop without saying a word.

Wen Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He didn’t buy this pearl bracelet for me? How could he do this!

Wen Zhiyun was very angry, but she was more disappointed.

She quickly chased after him and walked side by side with Chen An. She snorted and said sarcastically:

“Hehe, you bought a pair of bracelets for your wife and concubine as a gift. Then, you bought a bracelet. Which vixen have you taken a fancy to? Are you going to give her a gift to please her?”

As she spoke, she felt that it was not worth it for Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue.

“You pretend to be affectionate all day long, but you’re actually extremely affectionate behind my back. You think about which female Cultivator you want to seduce every day. You’re really two-faced.”

“Do you think you’re…”

Before she could finish her last sentence, Chen An suddenly reached into his pocket and took out the pearl bracelet. He handed it to her and said:

“Vixen, this is for you.”

“…”

Looking at the pearl bracelet handed over by Chen An, Wen Zhiyun was speechless.

However, she quickly reacted and became a little flustered. “You… Why did you give me a bracelet? What’s our relationship? Why did you give me a bracelet just like that…”

Chen An couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. He stuffed the pearl bracelet into her hand and said, “Take it, midwife. This is your childbirth fee and the hard work fee for accompanying me out to buy supplies today.”

“Hehe, you’re trying to bribe me with a lousy bracelet that’s only worth 10 taels of gold. You’re looking down on me too much.”

Although Wen Zhiyun said that she despised it, her hand reached out uncooperatively to take the bracelet from Chen An. She was extremely arrogant.

Looking at Wen Zhiyun, who couldn’t bear to part with the pearl bracelet, Chen An only smiled and didn’t say anything.

However, he was lamenting in his heart. It was easy to coax an old leftover woman who was single. She could be easily coaxed with just a small gift.
