Chapter 98: There’s Demonic Qi Here

As the distance closed, Shen Qingyi’s condition was visibly worsening.
When s2he was less than ten meters away from the ground, Shen Qingyi separated her sword and smashed it into a bush a few meters in front of Chen An.
Seeing this, Chen An did not hesitate. He instantly took a big step forward and rushed to the bush in front of him. He jumped up high and carried Shen Qingyi, who was still falling in midair.
“Chen, Alchemist Chen… Cough cough!”
Shen Qingyi was seriously injured. Before she could finish speaking, she choked on the blood in her mouth and coughed. Her face was filled with pain.
Seeing this, Chen An had an idea. He took out a small Revitalizing Pill from his storage bag and stuffed it into her mouth.
This small Revitalizing Pill belonged to her dead fiance. It was very reasonable to use it to save her.
He felt inexplicably excited as if he was taking care of her dead fiance’s inheritance.
The Revitalizing Pill melted in her mouth.
It turned into wisps of warm currents that surged in her body.
Soon, Shen Qingyi’s complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her originally pale face gradually turned rosy.
“Husband, what’s wrong with Fellow Cultivator Shen?”
Wen Zhiyun walked over. When she saw the seriously injured Shen Qingyi in
Chen An’s arms, she could not help but ask in confusion.
Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue followed behind with puzzled expressions.
As Chen An examined Shen Qingyi’s injuries, he replied, “I’m not sure either.”
Then, he said to Shen Qingyi, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, the sword in your chest didn’t hurt your vitals. You can pull it out directly. If you don’t mind, I’ll help you pull it out now.”
“I’ll have to trouble Alchemist Chen then…”
“Then 1’11 pull it out.”
Chen An reminded her, giving Shen Qingyi a few seconds to prepare herself mentally. Then, he grabbed the hilt of the long sword on her chest and gently pulled the sword out of her body.
“Mm-”
Shen Qingyi groaned in pain.
Chen An glanced at the blood on the sword and threw it aside. He said to Shen Qingyi, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, there’s still a wound on your chest that needs attention. It’s difficult to heal on its own. If you don’t mind, I’ll unbutton your clothes and help you deal with it.”
“I’ll have to trouble Alchemist Chen then…”
Unless it was someone she hated very much, Shen Qingyi wouldn’t care too much about physical contact with the opposite gender.
Hearing her say this, Chen An did not pretend to be a gentleman.
He unbuttoned her clothes. It revealed the sword wound on her chest.
And her curves.
Then, with a thought, he took out the corresponding medicinal pill from his storage bag and began to carefully treat Shen Qingyi’s wound.
When Wen Zhiyun, who was beside her, saw this scene, she couldn’t help but think of herself a year ago.
At that time, she had suffered a serious injury to her chest. Chen An had also dealt with her like this. She had shown something she should not have, and then she had half-reluctantly given in to Chen An.
Seeing that Shen Qingyi was facing the same situation, she was already mentally prepared that Chen An would take her as a concubine in the future.
This was a woman’s intuition.
Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, who were behind him, thought so too.
After all, if she didn’t like him, which woman would be willing to have her clothes unbuttoned by a man?
There were clearly three women beside him.
Needless to say, Shen Qingyi definitely had designs on Chen An.
However, Shen Qingyi’s true thoughts were different from what the three of them thought.
At this moment, she did not have any designs on Chen An.
She simply admired Chen An. She felt that he was a good person.
It was the kind of feelings where they were good brothers, not romantic feelings.
As for Chen An, his thoughts were simpler.
If he could take a concubine, he would take one.
He could not and did not force it.
After all, the reason why he was so strong today was all because of his wife, concubine, and children.
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, the wound has been treated.”
Chen An considerately closed Shen Qingyi’s clothes.
Shen Qingyi touched her chest and could clearly feel that her injuries were much lighter. She could not help but look at Chen An gratefully and say, “Alchemist Chen, you saved me twice in a row. I don’t know how to repay you.”
Just give yourself to me… Chen An smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Fellow Cultivator Shen, don’t worry.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked, “By the way, Fellow Cultivator Shen, what’s wrong with you? Why are you here with serious injuries?”
“It’s a long story.”
Shen Qingyi’s eyes dimmed. She didn’t want to mention this matter.
However, seeing that Chen An wanted to know, she told him anyway.
This was what had happened.
Ever since she left the Bamboo Leaf Forest that day, Shen Qingyi had returned to the Xuanhuang Sect immediately and secretly investigated if the secret that Sect Master Zhu had said that day was true.
Was her biological parents harmed by her master?
She investigated for half a month. The truth was hard to accept.
It was really as Sect Master Zhu had said. Her master had harmed her parents.
After learning the truth, Shen Qingyi broke down a little and wanted to question her master.
But soon, she calmed down.
She decided to continue to acknowledge the thief as her father and wait for the right time to avenge her parents.
Unfortunately, before the right time came, the matter was exposed.
That was when she was being hunted down by her master.
She was almost stabbed to death.
If not for the help and provocation of an elder in the sect who did not have a good relationship with her master, she would probably have died.
In order to survive, Shen Qingyi, who had already become homeless, could only escape towards the Mountain Sea Region.
Then, it was the scene just now. Because her body was seriously injured and she had overused her spiritual qi, she was separated from her sword and fell from the sky before she could fly over.
After listening to Shen Qingyi’s story, Chen An and his wives felt that she was a little pitiful.
After acknowledging a thief as her father for so many years, she almost died at his hands. This was too aggrieved.
“Fellow Cultivator Shen, since we’re going to escape to the Mountain Sea Region to take refuge, why don’t we go together? That way, we can take care of each other.”
Chen An suggested.
Shen Qingyi nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”
In the following period of time, the six of them headed to the Mountain Sea Region together.
They ate and slept together.
Chen An had frequent needs. Sometimes, he felt that he would pull his wives to a small forest at the side or find a tree to settle them.
He kept a low profile and made as little noise as possible.
However, Shen Qingyi was a mid-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and her senses were exceptionally outstanding.
She had heard everything she should or should not have heard.
However, she did not feel awkward. She understood this kind of human nature.
She was just a little puzzled. Why did Chen An spend more time with his wives than sitting cross-legged and cultivating?
How did he cultivate this cultivation?
In the blink of an eye, two and a half days passed.
The six of them finally arrived at the border of the Mountain Sea Region.
After entering the Mountain Sea Region.
Chen An could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air had increased significantly.
At the same time, there was also a familiar and unfamiliar aura—demonic qi.
He was not surprised.
Because it was different from the Great Thousand Domain where the Bamboo Leaf Forest was previously, there were many demons here, so the air was filled with demonic aura.
The number of demons meant that the Mountain Sea Region was even more dangerous than the Great Thousand Domain.
But on the other hand, there were more opportunities.
There were demon plants and demonic beasts everywhere that could be hunted. The upper limit of a Cultivator’s income was much higher.
They were both first level Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
If he wanted to break through a small realm in the Great Thousand Domain, he would need to cultivate for at least ten years bitterly.
In comparison, he did not even need to spend five years in the Mountain Sea Region.
The prerequisite was that he had a certain level of strength.
Otherwise, it was very likely that others would break through a small realm in the Great Thousand Domain in ten years, while you would grow in just five years in the Mountain Sea Region.
“Be careful!”
“Demons are approaching!”
Suddenly, Shen Qingyi raised her sword and reminded him..
