In the yard.

On the trail.

Chen An and Shen Qingyi were walking side by side. Seeing that she was expressionless and silent, he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Shen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No."

Shen Qingyi spoke in a calm voice, but it was a little too calm and it didn't sound normal.

Chen An knew that Shen Qingyi felt depressed because she was unable to punish the evildoers just now.

Unfortunately, it’s useless to know.

There was nothing he could do to resolve this matter.

Shen Qingyi can only rely on herself to get through it.

“Crack—”

Shen Qingyi pushed open the door and walked into her own room.

Chen An followed her in and hugged her from behind, wanting to make love with her to see if he could relieve the depression in her heart.

But just when he was about to untie the belt around Shen Qingyi's waist, Shen Qingyi stopped him and said in a depressed mood: "Master Chen Dan, I want to be alone now, can we do it in a few days?"

"Yeah, okay."

Chen An nodded, let go of Shen Qingyi and stopped holding her.

Shen Qingyi: "Thank you for your understanding."

Chen An said in a gentle voice: "Then Fellow Daoist Shen, you should have a good rest. I will call you again when it's time for dinner."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and turned around and left Shen Qingyi's room.

Afterwards, he walked towards Wen Zhiyun's room to tell her what had happened outside and to check on his beloved second daughter.

“Crack—”

Before he could reach Wen Zhiyun's room, the door of Song Huaying's room diagonally opposite opened.

Then, Song Huaying, wearing a light pink silk dress, walked out of the room.

She walked lightly and walked straight to Chen An and stopped. With a hint of wolf-like affection in her eyes, she said, "Husband, Xiao Yuejian has fallen asleep. I want to go to your room to ask you about various highly skilled alchemy knowledge and gain relevant experience."

"Ying'er, have you recovered?"

"I have fully recovered, my husband. I feel more energetic than ever before."

"Then let's go. I'll let you sweat."

As Chen An spoke, he picked up his increasingly slender wife, walked to his room door with a smile and pushed it open, intending to take a good look at her new body - the body of a flower demon.

About half an hour later.

[Alchemy Experience +4] x3 Chen An hugged Song Huaying from behind, smelling the light floral scent emanating from her body, and asked softly, "Ying'er, did you take a flower bath just now?"

"No, why do you suddenly ask this, my husband?"

"I noticed that your body smells nice, giving off a light floral scent."

"Husband, this is body fragrance. It is the body fragrance that comes with the replacement of blood."

Song Huaying turned over and lay on her side facing Chen An. She smiled sweetly and said, "If you like, my husband, I will come over to sleep with you every night, sleep in your arms and let you smell my body, okay?"

"Okay, but you have to communicate with your three sisters in advance."

Chen An smiled and joked.

Song Huaying pouted her rosy lips slightly, pretending to be unhappy and said, "Husband, you are so annoying. I am just a younger sister. How dare I ask my sisters for such a request? I think you want me to be beaten by my sisters."

"It's okay. Beating hurts, scolding is love."

"Then I want to be beaten by my husband..."

Song Huaying pursed her thin lips to make them moist again, looked at Chen An with a loving face and said in a soft voice.

Chen An felt hot in his heart when he was looked at by her, and he started to get wet as soon as he covered himself with the quilt.

I don’t know how much time passed.

When the two came out, Gu Xinyue had already brought the food to the table.

The eldest daughter Chen Yuejian sat beside her, teasing the little sister Yike in her arms with a look of curiosity on her face.

"Husband, Ying'er, please sit down quickly. I'll go call Sister Shen out."

Gu Xinyue served a bowl of rice to each of them, put the bowl down and turned to walk towards Shen Qingyi's room.

Chen An called her: "Yuer, I'll go and call her. You've been busy in the kitchen for a while. Now sit down and have a good meal."

"Well, I'll listen to my husband."

Gu Xinyue walked back and sat down obediently, listening to Chen An's words.

At this time, Wen Zhiyun asked, "Husband, what did that senior manager do here during the day?"

Chen An replied, "It's quite outrageous. It's said that the leader of the Red Fire Gang wants to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and needs a large amount of spirit stones for refining and cultivation. Then, they raised the monthly shelter fee to 3 middle-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiyun was immediately furious and said, "The Red Fire Gang really doesn't treat us casual cultivators as human beings. They just want to exploit us all day long, regardless of whether we live or die. Such a gang will sooner or later end up like the Bamboo Leaf Gang!"

"That's right, this kind of gang should disappear!" Song Huaying also said angrily.

Gu Xinyue, who was sitting between the two of them, remained silent, somewhat out of place.

Chen An agreed with the two wives' curses, but he did not join them out of reason. Instead, he told them, "You two should just curse at home, don't let anyone outside hear it."

After saying that, he walked towards Shen Qingyi's room to call her out for dinner.

“Crack—”

Chen An pushed the door open and saw Shen Qingyi sitting on the edge of the bed looking up at the sky, with a depressed look on her face.

He walked over, but instead of hugging her from behind like he had done in the past, he stood aside and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything."

"The meal is ready, let's go out and eat."

"I don't have much appetite right now. Master Chen, you go and eat."

"Then I'll bring it in for you to eat."

"I have no appetite."

Shen Qingyi's voice was emotionless, and her eyes were looking out the window from beginning to end, with no light in them.

Seeing this, Chen An stopped trying to persuade him, and just said gently, "Okay, when you are hungry, tell me and I will go to the kitchen to make it for you."

"Um."

Shen Qingyi responded carefully, speaking with great care.

Chen An stood in silence for a while.

Finally, before leaving, he bent down and kissed her on the face, then returned to the hall outside.

Seeing that only her husband came out, Song Huaying couldn't help but wonder, "Husband, where is Sister Shen?"

Gu Xinyue, who was standing by, sensibly pulled out a chair for her husband to sit down.

"Your sister Shen said she's not hungry yet."

Chen An walked to the table and sat down, speaking in a calm tone.

Wen Zhiyun noticed something and asked, "What happened to Fellow Daoist Shen?"

When Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue heard this, they looked at Chen An curiously, wanting to know what had happened.

Seeing that his wives and concubines were curious, Chen An told them, "Maybe he's addicted to punishing traitors and eliminating evil, and now he's feeling uncomfortable, but it's not a big problem, he'll be fine in a day or two at most."

After hearing this, Gu Xinyue said very considerately: "Husband, I will sleep alone tonight, you go and accompany Sister Shen."

Chen An picked up a piece of cold cucumber and put it in her bowl, saying, "Let's eat. I will go to see her after I finish eating. You don't have to worry too much."
