Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the next few days, Chen An did not eat or drink. He did not even sleep. He stayed in the alchemy room for 24 hours a day to consolidate his alchemy realm and prepare to apply to join the Treasure Pavilion.

During this period, his wives were very sensible and never disturbed him. When they had needs, they would settle them themselves.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

This morning, with a creak in the room, the tightly shut door of the alchemy room opened.

When his wives in the room heard this, they immediately walked over quickly.

When they saw Chen An’s haggard but smiling face, they all looked happy and congratulated him.

“Congratulations, Husband!”

“Husband, should we celebrate?”

“Husband, you must be hungry. I’ll go cook now. What do you want to eat?”

“Husband, 1’11 help you bathe!”

It had been a few days since they last met, but it felt like three years had passed.

His wives surrounded Chen An. Their rosy and pink lips kept opening and closing, and there was no moment of silence.

Chen An did not feel noisy. He only felt warm.

“Father, hug!”

Chen Yuejian tugged at her father’s pants and opened her short arms to ask for a hug.

Chen An picked her up and habitually rubbed his stubble against her chubby baby face. He asked with a smile, “You haven’t seen Daddy for so many days. Little Yuejian, do you miss Daddy?”

“Yes, I miss Daddy so much!”

Chen Yuejian’s expression was sincere and not fake at all.

In the few days that her father was not around, she was almost tortured to tears by her mother.

Every day, she either studied etiquette or various arts like writing and musical instruments.

She was only a one-year-old child and only wanted to play in the courtyard outside.

“Husband, you must be very tired after staying in the alchemy room for so many days. Ying’er will boil water for you to bathe now.”

Song Huaying’s eyes were filled with anxiety. After saying that, she tapped Chen An’s face lightly and walked quickly to the kitchen.

They were already an old couple. Chen An naturally understood the look in his wife’s eyes. She wanted him.

After the water was boiled, he did not let his wife wait any longer and walked into the bathroom immediately.

He bathed in the wooden barrel and enjoyed the steaming hot air.

As Chen An enjoyed his wife’s back-scrubbing, he asked casually, “Ying’er, how’s your learning of the three cultivation techniques?”

“Husband, Ying’er’s aptitude is slow. Until now, she hasn’t learned a single book…” Song Huaying didn’t hide the disappointment on her face. Her voice was indescribably weak.

Chen An comforted her. “There’s no hurry. It’s only been a few days. There’s still a long way to go. Learn slowly. When I’m free after some time, I’ll also study with Ying’er. At that time, if 1 master it first, I’ll teach Ying’er step by step.”

“Husband, don’t wait for the time to come. Teach Ying’er step by step now. Ying’er can’t wait anymore!”

Song Huaying’s previous disappointment was gone. She looked at Chen An coquettishly, her eyes filled with eagerness and love.

Chen An looked at his wife’s pretty face and realized belatedly that the girl from back then was no longer inexperienced. She had transformed into a pure and lustful wife.

He really hoped that his wife’s appearance would be fixed at this moment and that she would never age.

After joining the Treasure Pavilion, he had to think of a way to get the Beauty Pill and give one to his wives so that they could maintain their youth forever.

“Husband…”

Seeing that Chen An was in a daze, Song Huaying could not help but bite her lips with her pearly white teeth. Her little face gradually became more affectionate as she urged him.

Chen An stopped thinking about it and reached out to pull his wife, who was bathing at the side, into his arms.

He decided to live in the moment, leaving the future for the future him to deal with.

Right now, he only wanted to admire his cute and charming wife who was like a camellia flower. She was like a hardworking bee picking nectar.

No matter how beautiful nature is, its beauty is only fleeting.

When Chen An came out of the bathroom with his wife in his arms, Gu Xinyue had already prepared food and brought it to the dining table.

The family of five sat together in a harmonious manner.

After the meal, Chen An only rested for a while before carrying Gu Xinyue into the room. He had to be fair to all his wives afterall.

On this day, the weather began to warm up.

The air was exceptionally humid. The room was filled with the smell of blood.

Chen An worked from morning to afternoon and finally comforted his wives at home.

Then, under the gaze of his wives and daughter, he went out to the market to ask about joining the Treasure Pavilion.

On the way, it started to drizzle.

The rain nourished the arid land.

Along the way, Chen An saw many female Cultivators begging for shelter along the street.

They were all widows whose husbands had died on the battlefield.

Now, the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Manor was getting more and more intense. The number of mercenaries who died on the battlefield everyday kept increasing, causing the number of widows in the Bamboo Leaf Forest to increase day by day.

In the past, male Cultivators who could not get a wife now had five to six wives in many families.

They did not need much, just a place to shelter them from the elements and some food.

As long as he could do these two points, he could toy with these widows at will.

Unlike before, he did not have to provide them with cultivation resources.

Before the battle between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Manor, any woman with some level of beauty would basically be picky when choosing a husband.

If he wasn’t handsome, she wouldn’t marry. If he wasn’t a support profession, she wouldn’t marry. They had high standards.

Many male Cultivators were as lowly as dogs, but they might not be able to woo a female Cultivator who was slightly more desirable. They could only retreat and find someone who was far inferior to them.

For example, she was so ugly that no one wanted her.

If he wanted a beautiful wife, he could only find mortal women in the mortal world.

And now, the tables have turned.

Many male Cultivators who used to be bootlickers could now bring home the female Cultivator who they had regarded as a goddess back then and casually make all kinds of excessive requests. They could personally watch the unattainable goddess of the past fall in front of them.

Compared to this, it felt like the difference between heaven and earth.

Chen An sighed at this.

He thought that only he already had three beautiful wives at home. Otherwise, he would definitely be like other male Cultivators who would go out and wander around when they were free to see if there were any high-quality widows on the streets to pick up today.

He was thinking about these things. Unknowingly, he was about to reach the market.

At this moment, Chen An, whose divine consciousness was comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, clearly heard the sound of a woman struggling in a house hundreds of meters ahead.

“You, let go of me!”

“Fellow Cultivator Lin, don’t be so reserved. Your husband has already gone to the battlefield and hasn’t returned for more than a month. You must be very lonely, right? Your husband and 1 are best friends. I should help him take care of his wife.”

“Let go of me quickly, or I’ll call for help!”

“Call for help? Your house is so remote. There are no neighbors within a radius of hundreds of meters. Who are you calling for?”

“Xu Haolong, if you dare to touch me, you’ll definitely have to bear the consequences when my husband comes back!”

“I have to bear the consequences? When your husband comes back and sees that your stomach is big, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the consequences. Besides, do you think your husband will be able to come back? He will die on the battlefield sooner or later.”

“How dare you, Xu!”

Pah!

“I’m giving you face, but you don’t want it. If you struggle any longer, I’ll give you two more slaps. Let’s see if you’ll still go crazy!”

Hearing the sounds of struggle, Chen An frowned slightly. He was a little conflicted.

He wanted to help out when he saw injustice, but reason was telling him that this kind of saintly behavior was not conducive to his survival in this dangerous world.

He wanted to ignore it, but his emotions were telling him that this kind of behavior would torture his conscience.

“Da! Da! Da…”

Just as Chen An was hesitating, hurried footsteps suddenly came from ahead.

He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a valiant figure.

She had a high ponytail and was dressed in black, holding a longsword in a green sheath.

It wasn’t anyone else. It was the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect who was guarding the treasure shop.

The young Foundation Establishment expert!

At this moment, this female Foundation Establishment expert was rushing towards the house where the sound of struggle came from at high speed. Her beautiful eyes were like lightning and were filled with killing intent.

Seeing this, Chen An did not even think about it. He immediately rushed out and followed her to the house at the front.

It was risky to be chivalrous, but now that a Foundation Establishment expert was already leading the charge, what was there to hesitate about?

He decisively saved the damsel in distress, rid the society of this evil!
