As soon as I entered the house, I saw Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue watering the vegetables in the front yard.

The two girls chatted with each other from time to time, and their relationship seemed to be much more familiar.

But this much is relative to before.

Although the two said they were chatting, in reality it was just Song Huaying saying ten sentences, and then Gu Xinyue responding to her coldly with one or two sentences.

But no matter what, it is much better than before.

It's a good sign.

"Husband!"

When Song Huaying saw her husband coming back, she immediately put down the watering can in her hand and went to greet him with joy.

Gu Xinyue stood still, just quietly watching Song Huaying throw herself into his arms. Her face was expressionless and there was no sign of emotion at all.

However, when Chen An looked at her, she immediately lowered her head in panic, her pretty face felt hot, and she silently lowered her head to water the vegetables to cover it up.

Ever since Chen An loved her last night, she has developed a feeling for Chen An in her heart. She cares about Chen An's every move and feels absent-minded.

Chen An saw all of Gu Xinyue's reactions.

Cold temperament?

It doesn't matter, love grows over time.

After all, a drop of water can wear away a stone, so why should you be afraid that it can't wear away a piece of ice like you?

If it doesn't work, use the golden finger.

It always touches her heart.

Soon, the three of them went to the hall to eat together.

The meal was very rich.

Eight dishes and one soup, five meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes.

Song Huaying's beautiful eyes slightly curved, and she said slyly, "My dear, one of the dishes in tonight's meal was made by Sister Gu. Guess which one it is."

"It's this dish of cold cucumber salad."

"Hey, how did you guess that, sir?"

"you guess?"

"My husband, you are annoying~"

Song Huaying pouted her cherry lips and acted coquettishly, flirting with Chen An skillfully.

Chen An was itching to watch this, he wanted to pin this little elf with a teassy voice down on the dining table and execute her there, to see if she dared to act coquettishly in such a coquettish voice again.

But alas, there is now a third person in the family.

When the day comes when we can get along with each other to the point where we can be truly honest with each other, maybe we will have the chance to try out a classic scene from a certain film or TV series: No, you came at the right time.

"Husband, please stop teasing me and try Sister Gu's cooking."

As Song Huaying spoke, she picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in Chen An's bowl, urging him to taste it quickly.

Gu Xinyue still didn't move, but her attention was all on Chen An. She was looking forward to his evaluation.

As the two women looked forward to it, Chen An picked up the cucumber and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The taste is good and quite crispy.

But the taste, to be honest, is just average.

The main reason is that the ingredients are not mixed well.

Although the truth was like this, Chen An's eyes still lit up, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "It's sour and spicy, spicy and sweet, and the taste is crispy and refreshing. I have never eaten such delicious cold cucumber salad. Yue'er, your cooking skills are amazing."

"Husband, this is the first time Sister Gu has made the cucumber salad."

"Yuer is truly a genius!"

"I am not..."

Gu Xinyue felt embarrassed by the compliment and subconsciously lowered her head. A slight blush appeared on her fair face, mixed with a hint of joy that was so subtle that it was hardly noticeable.

[You compliment your wife Gu Xinyue against her will that she is a culinary genius. She is very happy to have your approval. Your relationship with your wife +1.]

[Wife: Gu Xinyue]

[Attributes: Pure as ice and jade, loyal and faithful]

[Emotion: 1 star (1/100)]

[Provided Spiritual Awareness Strength: 15]

Hmm? The affection has increased? Could it be that my cheap concubine has lacked self-confidence since childhood and is eager to be recognized by others?

Chen An suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped Gu Xinyue's strategy.

I thought that when I have a rest tonight, I will praise her during our lovemaking and see if there will be any unexpected surprise.

After dinner.

The three of them walked around in the yard to digest their dinner.

While the moonlight is beautiful.

Chen An took out the two hairpins he bought from the market today, and presented them to his wives and concubines as if by magic, smiling slightly and saying:

"Here, this is the gift your husband carefully selected for you today. The one with pink pearls is for Ying'er, and the one with sapphires is for Yue'er. Do you like it?"

"My dear, these two hairpins are so beautiful. I like them so much!"

Song Huaying jumped up with excitement, staring at the two hairpins with excitement in her eyes.

Gu Xinyue who was standing by was actually a little excited as well, and really wanted that sapphire hairpin, but she didn't show it too much on her face.

"Come, let your husband put them on for you."

"My husband is so nice!"

"Um……"

He has one wife and one concubine. One shows her love without any reservation, while the other is so reserved that she is very frugal with her words.

Song Huaying was his legal wife, and they had a deep relationship, so Chen An first put the step-shaking ornament on her.

This is a very natural move.

But Gu Xinyue, who was standing by, couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw this.

Although it was unreasonable, she really wanted Chen An to put on the hairpin for her first.

"Husband, Ying'er loves you the most!"

After putting on the hairpin, Song Huaying couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss Chen An. After that, she couldn't help but look at Gu Xinyue beside her, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chen An kissed her back politely.

Gu Xinyue, who was standing by, was very envious. She also wanted to be kissed, but was too embarrassed to show it.

Chen An picked up the sapphire hairpin, walked up to Gu Xinyue and said with a smile:

"Sorry to bother you, husband."

Gu Xinyue was no longer frugal with her words, and a faint blush could be clearly seen on her face.

Chen An took the hairpin and put it on her hair.

During this period, it is inevitable that there will be some physical contact with her, such as touching her ears or neck.

At this time, Chen An noticed that her pretty face was becoming more and more flushed, and every time he accidentally touched her, her body would tremble involuntarily.

Is this a cold temperament?

Are you sure it's not sensitive?

Not bad at speaking? Chen An got to know Gu Xinyue better, and his desire to conquer her became stronger.

I wanted her to be more proactive in the future, to become a goddess of contrast, a cold and aloof flower in front of outsiders, but a passionate and unrestrained red rose in front of me.

This kind of contrast between being in front of people and being behind them is very touching just by thinking about it.

"Husband, do I look good in it?"

Gu Xinyue's pretty face flushed, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and she looked particularly charming.

Chen An and Song Huaying were stunned after hearing this.

What was going on? This taciturn ice-cold guy actually took the initiative to ask such an ambiguous question?

…

Time flies.

Before I knew it, it was already the hour of Xu.

As usual, Chen An boiled a large bucket of hot water and took a bath with Song Huaying in the room.

He asked Gu Xinyue if she wanted to take a bath together.

The answer was: "No."

After taking a bath with Song Huaying, he didn't give up and ran to ask Gu Xinyue again: "Yuer, do you want to take a bath together later? Just the two of us."

The answer was: "Yeah."

Chen An was overjoyed.

He knew that his cheap concubine really wanted to integrate into this family.

Moreover, she chose to take the most difficult path for her - starting from pleasing her husband.

This is enough to show her determination.

After two incense sticks of time.

[You and your wife Gu Xinyue have in-depth exchanges and make efforts to expand your family. Your relationship with your wife +1, and your spiritual strength +1.]

[You cast the magic trick Gold Finger, Gold Finger proficiency +1. ]

"Yuer, do you like your husband?"

"like."

Gu Xinyue also let go of her reserve a little, snuggled in Chen An's arms and spoke softly with a blushing face.

Chen An felt extremely satisfied.

Every day thereafter, he treated his wife and concubine equally without any partiality.

It's like this every day, rain and dew are equally distributed.

Half a month later.

On this day, Chen An woke up with his eyes open, sat up from between his wives and concubines, and carefully browsed the prompt information in front of him.

[You and Song Huaying are in love, alchemy experience +2. ]

[You and your wife Gu Xinyue are in love, your spiritual strength +1. ]

[Your... spiritual power +1. ]

[Your... spiritual power +1. ]

【……】

[You praise your wife Gu Xinyue, saying "Yuer, you are really capable" and "Yuer, you are awesome", and your relationship with your wife +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...]

[You cast the magic trick Gold Finger, Gold Finger proficiency +1. ]

[Your...Cheat Finger proficiency +1.]

[Your...Cheat Finger proficiency +1.]

【……】

After browsing, Chen An opened his own panel on impulse.

【Name: Chen An】

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 4]

[Alchemy: First-level intermediate (414/500)]

[Spiritual Consciousness: First Level Elementary (77/100)]

【Gold Finger: Getting Started (99/100)】

[Wealth: 404 low-grade spirit stones]

[Spouse: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue]

[Offspring: gestating (July)]

"The golden finger is only one point away from breaking through to the skilled level. I have saved more than 400 low-grade spirit stones. It won't be long before the Dan Dao level breaks through to the first-level advanced level. It's time to move to the core area."

Chen An made a decision in his heart and decided to move to the core area in a few days.

What forced him to make this decision was that the relationship between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa had become increasingly tense recently, and there had already been several conflicts.

Although these were just minor fights between cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, they did not involve any key figures from either side.

But in Chen An's eyes, the situation is already very bleak.

He knew that this so-called minor conflict was just a test of each other before the war began.

I guess it won’t be long before the big one comes.

We have to move as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue who was still sleeping beside him, and silently gathered the spiritual power in his body into his fingers, which emitted a faint golden light... Well, it's time to break through the golden finger to the proficient level.
