"Husband, what's wrong?"

Chu Shen suddenly looked outside the window, which greatly surprised Li Lingyu, who was in high spirits.

"Why do I feel like there's someone outside the house?"

Although Shen Yingzi disguised it well, as a systematic man, Chu Shen still noticed something unusual through a fleeting glimpse of the system panel.

However, when he opened the window to look outside, he didn't see anyone.

"That's strange, was it just an illusion?"

On the other side, Shen Yingzi, who was being pulled away by Bai Ying, patted the big bear and said, "I didn't expect it, little brat Lingjue has such keen perception."

Although it wasn't a big deal for her, a fox fairy, to eavesdrop by the wall, it would still be embarrassing if she was discovered.

Bai Ying shook her head and made two whining sounds, expressing some reproach.

Shen Yingzi, who was at least half of the same clan, understood the Fox Language at level ten, so she naturally understood. She smiled awkwardly and said, "You know I don't have any bad intentions, I'm just curious about human relationships and love. Unfortunately, most cultivators are detached and not very interesting. It's rare to have Chu Shidi as an exceptional sample, so I got a little excited."

Bai Ying rolled her eyes, expressing disdain.

But Shen Yingzi giggled and leaned in close to her, saying, "Don't be so rigid. You should think about it. Although I'm a fox fairy, I'm also a fox, so it's not strange for me to have some similar little preferences like those fox spirits. Besides, I'm also a barbarian!"

That shameless appearance, truly fearless like a dead pig in boiling water.

Bai Ying sighed, whimpered twice, and spoke with great seriousness, but faced with a shameless and stubborn fox, there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, she also knew that this fox had no ill intentions, just a wild temperament. She could only whimper twice more and advise her not to do this again, not to always play with those wild fox spirits, so as not to be influenced and so on. She bit onto the other's skirt, not allowing her to disturb Chu Shen's night.

Although the mating behavior of the two-legged creatures was a bit disturbing, Bai Ying, who followed the natural way, had full understanding and respect for it.

Although Shen Yingzi was interesting, she was also predictable. Since she was discovered by Bai Ying, it was fine to take a look out of curiosity, but she had to return obediently and continue sleeping.

Her initial purpose in coming to the Chu family was to find a place where she could sleep comfortably and lazily.

The next day, when Chu Shen woke up, Chen Xiu had already prepared breakfast with Chen Ying. Ning Xiangyue was taking care of the children, and Shangguan Shurong was meditating as usual for Qi Refining.

Zhao Chulu and others were pregnant, and some were even close to giving birth, so it was not good for them to exert themselves.

Fang Wenjuan and the other newcomers were supposed to serve the pregnant women, but since they were new and had just gone through the initiation, this period of time could be considered their honeymoon. Chen Xiu and the others understood and did not force them.

As Chu Shen's cultivation advanced and his realm improved, although Chen Xiu and the other women continued to cultivate, the gap between them widened, making them more aware of the difficulties faced by newcomers like Fang Wenjuan.

In situations where others had no spare energy but she did, she could do more.

This made Chu Shen think, with the family's affairs burdening the three women, would they be too busy? Should he find a few maidservants to help?

The Chongxue Collection also has maidservants, and quite a few of them, mainly divided into two types.

One type is the slaves brought by the scholar families. Besides following the rules of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace and not being allowed to kill at will, they are still dealt with according to the customs and habits of their original places of origin.

The other type is the scholar families' dependents who, for various reasons, mainly to earn spirit stones, serve as contract servants for others. This is equivalent to working for others and they are essentially free individuals.

The former is unnecessary. If he needs them, he can easily transfer them from the Hengyuan side.

However, the consensus in Nanping City is that the closer one is to the Chu family, the closer one is to Xianyuan. As a result, the position of household servants has become highly valued, and people are trying to squeeze in.

Currently, among the Hengyuan servants, there are still some elderly people, but more of them are young ladies from this family, that family, and those like Fang Wenjuan, waiting for Lord Chu to bring them to the Langhuan Heavenly Palace.

This actually makes it difficult for him to bring anyone over.

Whether bringing someone over is to take care of the household or to be taken care of, it is uncertain. Fang Wenjuan, Li Lingyu, and a few others are examples. Mortal women are still too weak.

Moreover, if he brings this person but not that person, those ten gentlemen from Nanping City will probably think he is treating them differently.

It's better to maintain the current situation. Cultivation is about abandoning worldly matters.

The latter is possible, but among these scholar families' dependents, many are not easy to deal with. They may not resort to extortion or blackmail, but many of them have arrogant temperaments that are not suitable for serving others.

After all, he is a scholar, and the people in other families are scholars too. Who has a brighter future is still unknown.

After learning about his thoughts, Chen Xiu shook her head and rejected his plan.

"家里不是没人,只是需要时间缓过劲来,所以我们忙碌也就忙碌在早上这些时间,等姐妹们有了力气,自然能分担其他事务不妨事的。

It's not that there's no one at home, it's just that we need time to recover. So we are busy only in the mornings. When the sisters have the energy, they can naturally help with other tasks.

再说了,崇学集什么都比南平城方便,我们看着忙,其实要做的事情并不多,大多是看着各种灵力器械有没有运转,食物有没有烧制到位这样。

Besides, Chongxueji is more convenient than Nanping City in every aspect. We may seem busy, but there aren't actually many things we need to do. Most of it is just making sure that various spiritual tools are functioning properly and that the food is cooked well.

夫君就不要操心这些小事了,快些吃过早饭去崇学峰,修行要紧。

Husband, don't worry about these small matters. Hurry up and have breakfast, then go to Chongxue Peak for cultivation. It's important.

一番话暂时打消了 Chu Shen的想法。

This conversation temporarily dispelled Chu Shen's thoughts.

三下五除二解决早餐后,先是去自己原来的房间看了一下,发现肩狐狸依旧在睡,只得无奈地和陈秀说了一声,让她别打扰到这位狐仙师姐的好眠。

After quickly finishing breakfast, Chu Shen went to his original room and found that the Shoulder Fox was still sleeping. He helplessly told Chen Xiu not to disturb the good sleep of this fox fairy senior sister.

全没看见他离开后,肩狐狸睁开一只眼,吐了吐舌头,一副俏皮模样。

After he left, the Shoulder Fox opened one eye and stuck out its tongue, looking mischievous.

只是肩狐狸还没得意多久,却是感觉到一股神秘力量降临楚家,并将她所在的空间封锁,顿时垮了个批脸,一副沮丧样子。

However, the Shoulder Fox didn't have much time to feel pleased before sensing a mysterious force descending upon the Chu family and sealing the space it was in. It immediately looked dejected.

随之而来的,是一个清脆的声音:“小狐狸,找到你了,你又在和我捉迷藏,不过你输啦!”

Following that, a clear voice came: "Little fox, I found you. You're playing hide-and-seek with me again, but you lost!"

神樱子哭丧着脸道:“我说阿影啊,饶了我吧,让我好好休息两天,天天修炼,你不觉得累的吗?”

Shen Yingzi said with a mournful face, "I'm telling you, Ah Ying, spare me. Let me rest for two days and cultivate every day. Don't you think it's tiring?"

没有显形的阿影拒绝道:“不可以哟,师父说过,仅仅有天赋是不够的,我辈修士,最重的还是勤学苦练的毅力,你这样时不时就想着偷懒,可是不行哒,快点回来修炼了。”

Ah Ying, who was invisible, refused, saying, "No, Master said that talent alone is not enough. We cultivators value diligence and perseverance the most. You often think about slacking off, but that won't do. Come back and cultivate quickly."

说着,空间荡漾起一阵波纹,神樱子虽然竭力躲闪,却还是被一个无形的巨手给抓住,拖入了虚空之中。

As he spoke, ripples appeared in the space, and although Shen Yingzi tried to dodge, she was still caught by an invisible giant hand and dragged into the void.

尽管她大喊着“我不要,我不要”,却还是无法摆脱命运的后颈脖被制所带来的无力感,只能看着楚家大床一脸痛不欲生。

Although she shouted, "I don't want to, I don't want to," she couldn't escape the feeling of powerlessness brought about by the control of fate. She could only look at the Chu family's bed with a pained expression.

我还想再睡五百年!

I still want to sleep for another five hundred years!"
