Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, Chen An woke up from Ning Xian’er’s bed.
Beside him, there was a blanket that was curled into a pillar, separating him from Ning Xian’er, who was on the same bed.
Under his strong request, he stayed in Ning Xian’er’s cave abode last night and slept with her.
But after a night, nothing happened.
They were just chatting.
The two of them only closed their eyes to rest when it was almost dawn.
This was the greatest concession Ning Xian’er could make. If it was any further, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“It’s dawn. I should go back.”
“Aren’t you going to have a cup of flower tea before you leave?”
“No, let’s meet another day.”
After saying that, Chen An left Ning Xian’er’s cave abode without any reluctance. Fie planned to give her a cold shoulder regularly in the future and play hard to get with her.
Otherwise, this Holy Maiden always gave people the feeling that she was fearless. She kept using Xiao Qingyue’s instructions to keep herself chaste and refused to even kiss him.
In the ‘Stable’ cave abode.
As soon as Chen An flew above the cave abode, he saw his three young daughters playing outside with the children from the neighboring family.
On the other side of these children, a group of young women gathered and chatted non-stop.
The five wives at home were also present, but only Song Huaying was chatting very happily. Most of the other four wives would only smile politely and chat a little when they were spoken to.
Among them, Gu Xinyue and Shen Qingyi, who were pregnant, were the most talked about. Many young women liked to bring the topic to their wombs.
They said that Chen An was really lucky to have two more children.
They praised the daughters in their wombs, that they would definitely look as charming as their mothers.
Although it was flattery, Gu Xinyue and Shen Qingyi were very happy to hear it.
“Father!!!”
Chen Yike was the first to discover her father in the sky. She immediately raised her head excitedly and opened her mouth to roar.
The children of the same age who were squatting beside her and playing with the mud were frightened by her sudden roar. They all twitched in unison.
A timid little girl was even frightened by her and cried out.
When the little girl’s mother saw this, she immediately went over and picked up the little girl, comforting her not to cry.
Wen Zhiyun was also numb. She went over and slapped Chen Yike’s head. She reprimanded her sternly, “You melon child, how many times have 1 told you not to shout at the top of your lungs? Did you ignore me?!”
“Mother, 1 know my mistake.”
Chen Yike rubbed her little fingers and lowered her head to admit her mistake. She was a coward.
When the little girl’s mother saw this, she hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Sister Wen, a child’s loud voice means that she’s healthy. This is a good thing.”
When Chen Yike heard this, her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at the young woman. She felt that this auntie was a good person.
Wen Zhiyun smiled and agreed, but she didn’t think much of it.
Compared to her silly daughter who shouted at the top of her lungs all day and looked like a womanless girl, she still liked quiet little girls like Chen Yuejian and Chen Jiuli.
Soon, Chen An slowly descended on his sword.
The eldest and third daughters, who were closer, greeted him.
As a daughter-con, Chen An picked them up in each hand and kissed them on the faces, giving them the love and care of an old father.
“Father, did you buy spirit cakes for me to eat?”
Chen Yike quickly rushed to her father. She placed her hands behind her back and raised her small round face high as she asked expectantly.
Chen An smiled and said, “I bought a few hundred boxes. I’ll let you eat your fill inside.”
“Yay!”
Chen Yike jumped up excitedly.
It jumped a full ten meters high.
The surrounding young women and children were stunned.
What the hell?!
How could she jump so high?
Was this a human?
Compared to these outsiders, Chen An and his wives and daughters were used to this.
Chen Yike was born strong, had exuberant Qi and blood, and a strong body. It was normal for her to have a better jumping ability.
“Sister Wen, your Little Yike is really talented. Her body is already so strong at such a young age. Her future is promising.”
The little girl’s mother said enviously.
Wen Zhiyun smiled and said, “It’s nothing.” However, she felt a little helpless.
‘If this melon child’s physical body could be so powerful, it was all exchanged with her intelligence. What was there to be envious of?’
Heaven and Earth Palace, in the Sect Master’s cave abode.
Xiao Qingyue lay on the bed and took a coat that Chen An had left behind yesterday. She gently covered her nose and sniffed.
After smelling the familiar smell, the cold noblewoman could not help but reveal a satisfied expression, her eyes filled with confusion.
“What’s wrong with me?”
“How did 1 become like this?”
“No, I’m the leader of a sect. I can’t continue like this!”
“This is too perverted and shameful!”
“I’m not those coquettish sluts from the Joyous Union Hall!”
As Xiao Qingyue spoke, she flung Chen An’s coat aside and tried her best to become normal.
However, in less than three breaths, she could not help but pick up Chen An’s coat and cover her face again. She greedily sucked the breath inside.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a voice transmission talisman in her storage ring moved.
She took it out and released it. The anxious voice of the elder of the Hundred Herb Hall came from inside.
“Sect Master, something bad has happened. The Ghost Fire Tree you planted in the Hundred Herb Garden has been uprooted by someone. It looks half dead!”
“What?!”
Xiao Qingyue was shocked.
That Ghost Fire Tree was something she had painstakingly transplanted back from Purgatory Mountain. The Devil Fruit it bore every ten years was greatly beneficial to alchemy cultivation, the entire tree’s value immeasurable.
Back then, she was able to become the Holy Maiden and the successor of the Sect Master because of this Ghost Fire Tree.
This Ghost Fire Tree could mass produce outstanding Alchemists. It cannot be dead.
Xiao Qingyue could not be bothered to listen to the explanation of the elder of the Hundred Herb Hall in the voice transmission talisman. She immediately rode her sword and soared into the sky, flying towards the Hundred Herb Garden under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Herb Hall.
However, when she was halfway there, she was suddenly trapped by a mysterious array.
Before she could react to what was going on, a large number of human figures instantly appeared out of thin air in the array. Every human figure had strength not lower than the Nascent Soul realm. All of them charged at her like moths to a flame.
“It’s actually the Purgatory Shadow Killing Formation?!”
“Whose handiwork is this?!”
With a heart full of questions, she was drowned in the shadows in the blink of an eye.
In less than half an hour, she, whose cultivation had reached the perfected eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, was injured by the shadow attack. All the spiritual power in her body had been exhausted and she was already half a step into the gates of hell.
She was in despair. She wanted to ask Chen An for help, but she could not transmit her voice at all in the Purgatory Shadow Killing Formation.
This was because the voice transmission medium had been isolated by the array.
What awaited her was only death..
