Chen An thought he had heard wrongly and said uncertainly, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, um… Can you repeat yourself? I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”
Shen Qingyi turned over and sat up on the bed facing Chen An. She looked into his eyes and said, “Alchemist Chen, you take advantage of me every night in the name of massage. Are you craving my body?”
This question was too straightforward. Chen An did not know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Qingyi continued, “In the past, when 1 was in the Xuanhuang Sect, Master had always warned me that if I wanted to go far on the path of cultivation, 1 cannot get involved in relationships.”
“But now, I’m confused.”
“The master I’ve always regarded as my biological father is actually the one who killed my parents.”
“Alchemist Chen, you clearly want to be loving with your wives whenever you have time, but your cultivation realm, alchemy realm, and the speed at which you learn techniques far exceed your peers. This is different from what my master said.”
“I feel that in a few years, you will catch up to my cultivation level sooner or later.”
“I’m really confused now. Does the path of cultivation really have to be abstinent, must it be without the relationship between men and women?”
“By the way, Alchemist Chen, why are you so fond of getting married, taking in concubines, and having children? Aren’t you worried that this will delay your cultivation?
Shen Qingyi said a lot of things that she had been suppressing in her heart.
Chen An thought for a moment and said, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, sometimes when fate comes, it can’t be stopped. I’m just following my heart.”
“Your heart?”
Shen Qingyi lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
After a while, she looked up at Chen An and said calmly, “Alchemist Chen, although you’re a little lecherous, you’re very honest. I don’t hate you.”
“If you want my body, I’m willing to give it to you.”
“It’s just that I’ve never had any romantic feelings before. Can you give me some time to cultivate some?”
“A month will do.” Shen Qingyi said seriously.
Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, Chen An thought that he was dreaming.
You’ve been chaste for so many years, and you’re giving yourself to me just like that?
Giving it just like that? No signs or omens at all? Was she that casual?
Seeing that Chen An was silent again, Shen Qingyi thought that she was thinking too much. She immediately said, “Alchemist Chen, I misunderstood. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything just now.”
When he heard this, Chen An instantly came back to his senses. He stretched out his hands to hold Shen Qingyi’s jade-like hands and said excitedly,
“No, no misunderstanding, no misunderstanding.”
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, since you’ve said so, I won’t pretend to be a gentleman.”
“I want to take you in as my concubine. From the first time I saw you at the Treasure Hall, I’ve always wanted to take you in as my concubine.”
Chen An also laid his cards on the table and revealed all his true thoughts.
Such a chaste girl had thrown herself at him without caring about her dignity.
As a man with three wives, he had no reason to be reserved.
After hearing Chen An’s words, Shen Qingyi was slightly stunned. Clearly, she did not expect Chen An to take a fancy to her from the beginning.
She pursed her thin lips and said calmly, “Alchemist Chen, perhaps it’s very selfish of me to say this, but my current thoughts are that I can give you my body and only give it to you in the future. However, I don’t want to get married or become your concubine. I like to be free and unrestrained. I like to explore the world with my sword and punish evil.”
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, I respect your choice.”
Chen An held Shen Qingyi’s hand tightly and said without hesitation.
He didn’t care what she said. He had to agree first.
Shen Qingyi did not expect Chen An to agree so quickly. She thought that her unreasonable thoughts would cause him to roll his eyes at her.
As expected, Alchemist Chen was a very good man. He was willing to respect a woman’s thoughts.
Perhaps the best thing she had done in her life was to entrust her body to him.
As Shen Qingyi thought about this, she had a better impression of Chen An.
She shrunk her beautiful feet and looked at Chen An with clear eyes. “Alchemist Chen, let’s end tonight’s massage here. In the next month, you don’t have to come to my room to massage me anymore. In a month, I’ll personally go to your room to look for you.”
“Alright, 1 won’t disturb your rest then. Fellow Cultivator Shen, go to bed early.”
After saying that, Chen An did not stay any longer. He stood up and left Shen Qingyi’s room.
Since it is basically served to him on a platter, there was no need to be anxious.
He did not want to leave a bad impression on Shen Qingyi.
In the days that followed, the insect disaster outside the house did not abate at all.
Instead, it had become even more serious.
Some of the not-so-sturdy houses were knocked down by the swarm, and the Cultivators inside instantly turned into bones on the ground.
No one dared to go out. Nobody dared to even open the door or window.
It was the same for Chen An’s family.
However, thanks to “Cloudfall Array” and “Lightning Strike Formation”, people could still come out of the house and into the courtyard.
As long as he did not step out of the courtyard door, he could guarantee his safety.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
During this period, Song Huaying took advantage of Shen Qingyi’s love for children and used her daughter as a tool to build a good relationship with her and become sisters.
Her daughter, Chen Yuejian, also liked Shen Qingyi very much. She wanted her to bring her to the courtyard every day to fly on a sword..
