After drinking the water, Chen An covered Gu Xinyue on the bed with a blanket and got up to leave the room.
However, just as he stood up from the bed, Gu Xinyue reached out and grabbed his clothes, not letting him leave.
“Husband, can you sleep with me?”
It was rare for Gu Xinyue to make such a willful request. A pitiful expression appeared on her beautiful face.
This icy concubine had also learned to show an aching expression for her husband to dote on her…
Thinking of this, Chen An sat back on the bed, took off his shoes, crawled into the blanket, and hugged Gu Xinyue. He pressed his face against hers and said gently, “Of course. You’re my wife and I’m your husband. Please make such requests in the future.”
“Husband-”
Gu Xinyue’s voice was filled with gentleness. She curled up in Chen An’s arms like a kitten and listened to the heartbeat coming from his chest. She felt very at ease.
Chen An didn’t say anything. He quietly hugged Gu Xinyue and coaxed her to sleep.
Not long after, Gu Xinyue fell asleep.
Seeing that the sky outside was about to turn completely bright, Chen An quietly got out of bed and left. He wanted to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for his wives and daughters.
It was mainly for Song Huaying and his two daughters.
Gu Xinyue had already eaten her fill in the alchemy room and didn’t need to eat anymore.
As for Wen Zhiyun and Shen Qingyi, their cultivation levels were higher and they didn’t need to eat breakfast every day.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
When he passed by Wen Zhiyun’s room, Chen An suddenly heard a crisp slap coming from inside.
Then, Wen Zhiyun’s stern reprimand and her second daughter’s wails sounded.
“Tell me, do you still dare to wet the bed!”
“Mother, 1 won’t dare to anymore. I won’t dare to wet the bed in the future. Ao ao ao ao ao…”
“In the future, if you want to pee at night, get up and go to the toilet yourself, understand?”
“I… I’m sorry, Mother.” Chen Yi Ke apologized in a submissive voice.
Chen An originally wanted to go in and tell Wen Zhiyun not to hit the child often. This kind of education was wrong.
However, after thinking about it, he did not say it in the end.
In any case, it was just a spanking. He would let her discipline the child like this.
At most, she would be a strict mother in the future and he would be a kind father.
Ten days passed.
At this moment, Chen An had already mastered the refinement of the five types of Level 3 medicinal pills to the point of perfection. He felt that it was time to go to the market and buy new pill formulas to learn.
But before that, he still had to refine more of the five types of Level 3 medicinal pills that he had just mastered so that he could sell them in the trading company for money.
After all, the Level 3 formulas were ridiculously expensive.
If he didn’t earn some money, he really couldn’t afford it.
Another ten days later.
In the hall, Chen An brought the Level 3 medicinal pills that he had refined in the past few days and prepared to go to the market.
“Father, I want to eat spirit cake. Can you buy some when you come back?”
Seeing that her father was about to set off, her eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, couldn’t be bothered to practice drawing Qi into her body in the room. She hurriedly ran out and said to her father.
Chen An stroked her head and said, “Alright, Daddy will buy you a few boxes of spirit cakes.”
At this moment, his second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, ran out of the room. She hugged her father’s thigh and said, “Father, I want to eat spirit cake too!”
Before Chen An could respond, Wen Zhiyun, who was at the side, said angrily, “You silly child, your father said that he would buy a few boxes of spirit cakes back. Wouldn’t it be fine if you ate them together?”
“Not enough!!!”
“There are only a few boxes. There’s not enough to eat!!!”
“I want to eat so many boxes!!!”
Chen Yi Ke habitually shouted at the top of her lungs.
Wen Zhiyun felt that it was so noisy and immediately glared at her fiercely.
The second daughter immediately cowered and did not dare to shout again.
The eldest daughter was watching the commotion from the side with a smile.
Wen Zhiyun pulled the silly girl’s daughter over and said to Chen An, “Husband, you don’t have to buy jewelry for us sisters this time. We have enough. You should save more money to buy the pill formula.”
“That’s right, Husband. My three sisters and 1 already have a lot of jewelry,” Song Huaying said.
Chen An smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that it doesn’t cost much to buy some jewelry. Since you have enough jewelry, I’ll go over and see if there are any suitable gifts. I’ll buy them for you then.”
Shen Qingyi said, “Husband, there’s really no need. Let’s listen to the two sisters and save some money.”
Chen An said nonchalantly, “What’s there to save?”
“Pick something cheaper to buy. Something that wouldn’t cost more than a mid-grade spirit stone.”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m leaving. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you through voice transmission. I’ll pay attention this time, but I’ll miss your voice transmission like before.”
After saying this, Chen An left the tunnel without waiting for his wives to reply.
He flew on his sword to the sky above Hundred Herbs Alley and flew towards the Lu Corporation’s trading company that he had visited previously.
On the way, he could not help but think of the woman in the purple dress.
This was a fox demon.
Moreover, it was suspected to be an extremely rare Nine-Tailed Fox.
The last time he pressed her to the ground and punched her hard, her body suddenly exploded and disappeared, leaving only a tail that had lost its vitality.
It was unknown if she had really broken his tail and escaped, or if she was dead.
“It’s best if that fox demon is dead. Otherwise, I’ll be pestered by her every time I go out in the future.”
“Although from the last battle, this fox demon doesn’t seem to be a threat to me anymore.”
“However, it’s better to be safe than sorry. This fox demon has too many top-grade items on it. Who knows what difficult items it will take out to deal with me next time? Once the number of times increases, there’s a risk of failure.”
Chen An thought nonchalantly.
Suddenly, he interrupted these thoughts and frowned slightly.
The divine consciousness he spread out sensed dozens or hundreds of high-level energy bodies in the sky several miles away.
It was not a bird demon, but a large group of human Cultivators!
