Chapter 319: Fox? Father's Concubine?
At the foot of Longshe Shan.
Shang Yingnian took a deep breath, glanced back at Longshe Shan behind him; the turbid qi in his chest could not be expelled, weighing on his heart, making him feel awful—he wanted to spit it out but couldn't.
He then looked at his wife Jiang Luolan and couldn't help saying, "We've been screwed by those two; you gave birth to a fine daughter."
Jiang Luolan gave her husband a white-eyed look and snapped, "You talk as if she weren't your daughter—your most beloved baby daughter is now someone else's woman, she's started helping him screw you over, so you'd better watch your treasure."
It's said that a married daughter is like spilled water.
A daughter who returns home is just a thief to her natal family.
The daughter hasn't even come home yet, but she's already taken away a huge batch of treasures; Jiang Luolan sighed, "Your precious daughter is even more ruthless than I was back then—she grabs everything in one go, emptying our Shang clan's stores; when I cleared out our home's resources, I gave them all to your precious daughter, alas."
Jiang Luolan realized she couldn't compare to this precious daughter; still, setting that aside, the daughter is quite useful—those resources can't match the chance to condense a pill once, so given, given; Jiang Luolan felt no pang.
Her husband was condensing a pill, and she also saw hope in that; when the time comes, letting the son-in-law handle a round, the heavenly tribulation will no longer be a problem.
Jiang Luolan asked about the basics of tribulation crossing; Shang Yingnian told her everything in detail. After hearing, her face grew solemn; she looked again at Longshe Shan, knowing the son-in-law had been watching them, guaranteeing their safety.
"That's about it, madam—Chen Chuyang is very strong, his strength unfathomable; we initially misjudged him."
"It seems the big and small events that happened in Longshe Cheng before are likely connected to him; the Chen clan is truly going to rise this time."
"If our Shang clan could bind him, we might also succeed."
In this tribulation crossing, Shang Yingnian felt it most deeply and was most shaken; he again saw Chen Chuyang's future—the son-in-law's strength far exceeds what he imagined, countless times greater; such a powerhouse is his son-in-law—if he still doesn't know how to cling to a mighty thigh, wouldn't that be?
Jiang Luolan said solemnly, "You must definitely follow this son-in-law well, husband; after returning, immediately send people to bring things up the mountain."
"Not only should you send, but send more; whenever there are good things, prioritize sending them to Longshe Shan."
They also participated in the renovation of Longshe Shan.
This counts as the daughter's dowry, letting her shine a bit more.
At the same time, it's also to curry favor with Chen Chuyang, giving them a little pull; the Shang clan will also take off.
After all, they're one family; although their treatment isn't as good as the Chen clan's, even the scraps Chen Chuyang occasionally reveals are enough for the Shang clan to soar.
The couple exchanged a glance, smiled and nodded, eager to return to the Shang clan and arrange for people to send things up the mountain.
Three days later.
The things were delivered to Longshe Shan, and Chen Chuyang accepted them.
There were many more things; the parents-in-law meant well.
Chen Chuyang was very pleased; indeed, his parents-in-law are smart people, capable of becoming clan heads and surviving in Longshe Cheng—without some ability, that's impossible.
"The parents-in-law meant well."
After Shang Hongxue finished checking, she smiled and said, "Big brother Chuyang, the things my parents sent up the mountain are far more than I listed; they seem to have really come around, wanting to invest in you."
"With so many good things, I don't know where my mother hid them—hmph."
Previously when she went back, she hadn't found so many good things; indeed, the family's good things are all in mother's hands, while father's good things are just scraps—those are what they gave her to take.
Thinking of this, Shang Hongxue couldn't help but puff up in anger.
Chen Chuyang rubbed Shang Hongxue's head and laughed, "Hahaha, don't be angry—your mother didn't just take it out all at once, did she?"
These things are not few; even if the Shang clan wanted to produce them, it wouldn't be easy.
The parents-in-law meant well; Chen Chuyang sensed their change and gave a slight smile.
In his heart, he also acknowledged the parents-in-law.
This time, after spending so many resources, he finally managed to replenish a part.
From now on, the Shang clan will definitely keep sending good things up the mountain; with their help, the renovation of Longshe Shan will be faster and better.
Shang Hongxue checked again, confirmed no error, and shouted joyfully, "Big brother Chuyang, this time we've struck rich—so many good things, they'll last a long time."
"I've taken these spirit medicine seeds out to plant, big brother Chuyang."
Chen Chuyang nodded: "Go ahead."
The efficient Shang Hongxue, when mentioning work, gets a hundredfold excited.
To arrange the spirit medicine planting task, she went together with Zhang Nongqian to complete it; at the same time, she also imparted planting knowledge to Xiao Qian, theory and practice combined, ensuring Zhang Nongqian gets up to speed quickly.
The two little girls put their heads together, had lots to say, and got along very well.
After Zhang Nongqian went up the mountain, that little girl became fairer, gained flesh, and became much more spirited.
The formerly shy, fearful little girl is now full of confidence.
As she gradually entered cultivation, her demeanor changed considerably.
Liu Yuer is the same—becoming ever more lovely, possibly due to the third uncle's nourishment.
Chen Chuyang sees all the big and small situations on Longshe Shan; the little carp is still sleeping.
The black sheep turned over, fixed its gaze on some materials Chen Chuyang had sent, and came to demand them.
After eating an upgraded Dragon Blood Pill, it ate three whole pieces before it was satisfied.
Those spirit medicines it took a liking to; Chen Chuyang waved his hand and let it choose for itself.
The black sheep wasn't polite; it ate some spirit medicines on the spot, didn't finish them all, and left some for Chen Chuyang as backup.
Having eaten its fill and drunk enough, the black sheep returned to its spot, lay down, and began to refine.
Its aura remained the same, not much changed; the black sheep's body is very special, harboring a small world—everything swallowed needs digestion, slow digestion; this black sheep's digestive ability is tremendous, possibly not needing long before it can fully digest everything.
Looking down on Longshe Shan, it teems with life, brimming with endless vitality.
"This is really good."
"Slow development is the true way; controlling everything oneself is the true way."
As for other things, Chen Chuyang doesn't think about them.
Time flew, and half a month passed in a blink.
The Chen clan.
A guest arrived.
To be precise, there are three guests: one woman and two small children.
The woman brought the two little ones to the gate of the Chen Clan in Longshe Cheng, but they were blocked by the formation and also stopped by the guards, unable to enter.
After the woman said just a couple of sentences, the guards' expressions changed drastically; one hurried back to report, while the other remained outside on guard.
Inside the Chen Clan, Long Ming and Chen Yuan, who were discussing important matters, both changed expression; Long Ming's gaze locked onto Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan shivered, then looked toward the guard.
"Are you sure?"
The guard trembled as he nodded: "Family Head, I am certain; the person is outside, specifically asking for you, and also said they are your wife."
"Hum."
The entire hall fell silent.
Several pairs of eyes all fixed on Chen Yuan.
