Chapter 420: Introductory Training on the Hundred Herbs Pill

Shang Hongxue watched the whole time from the side, staring.

After seeing Xiao Qian'er go down the mountain, she then asked, "Brother Chuyang, when did you compile the Spirit Herbs Hundred Grass Classic?"

Why had she never heard of this classic, and didn't even know such a book existed? Although she knew a thing or two about the treasures in Brother Chuyang's hands, this one she had never heard of.

She had also never heard Chen Chuyang mention it; could it be something he secretly treasured?

"I compiled it."

"When did you compile it? Is it reliable?" Shang Hongxue asked with a doubtful attitude.

After the words fell, her forehead received a tap from Chen Chuyang; her little hand tapped twice there, the little girl stared at Chen Chuyang, feeling wronged, her mouth pouted, utterly aggrieved.

If she weren't no longer the little girl of before, she would have burst into tears right then; seeing her state, Chen Chuyang immediately explained, "Cough cough cough, I just compiled it recently, just finished writing the book; don't look at me with that gaze, this book is reliable—this is the book personally compiled by your Brother Chuyang, indeed the Number One Pill Scripture of the present age."

Giving it the title "Number One" makes the book sound even more domineering.

Shang Hongxue understood; as for the usefulness of the book Brother Chuyang wrote, it definitely exists; whether it's reliable will be seen when Xiao Qian'er can refine pills according to it—if she can, that shows the pill book Brother Chuyang compiled is fine.

It's not that she doesn't believe Chen Chuyang; it's just that the pills he refines have side effects, some of which are deadly—if Xiao Qian'er learned those side-effect-laden pills, wouldn't that be...?

Chen Chuyang pinched her cheek; without looking, he knew what the little girl was thinking.

"Don't doubt your Brother Chuyang—when has Brother Chuyang ever done anything unreliable?"

Shang Hongxue raised her head, corner of her mouth curling: "Really?"

Her little hand covered her belly, her face full of disdain.

Just last night, this Brother Chuyang… had said he wouldn't mess around, nor… get her pregnant; but as soon as he finished speaking, Brother Chuyang let loose, not caring at all about her life or death.

Of course, if they had a child it would naturally be best; Shang Hongxue also wanted to give Chen Chuyang a child.

Since they haven't formally married yet, some things still need to be approached with caution.

Chen Chuyang knows this too, but he…

"Cough cough cough."

Chen Chuyang coughed violently; this little girl dares to say anything—such matters shouldn't be spoken randomly; this is their secret, bedroom pleasure, do you understand?

"Little girl, as your husband… it's… for your own good, you want to break through, as your husband I specially helped you."

"It's not that your husband is unreliable, nor that he's scheming against you."

"Hehe." Shang Hongxue is no longer the girl she once was.

The easily fooled her is long gone.

"Brother Chuyang, you're clearly a troublemaker, doing that on purpose—I'm telling you, next time you'd better watch out, you mustn't mess around; once that kind of thing… happens, you'd better have figured out how to face my parents."

"Tch, just face it—you are my Chen Chuyang's wife."

Holding her tightly, the little girl's expression quickly turned sweet.

They kept that pose for a long time; in the distance, Chen Qinger saw it, turned her head away, not wanting her heart to be stimulated.

"These two are at it again, every time the same."

Her sword practice movements were a bit shaky; she couldn't stand their lovey-dovey displays.

Isn't this obviously meant to make her uncomfortable?

Down the mountain.

Zhang Nongqian told her mother the good news; Liu Yuer was overjoyed, tightly hugging her daughter.

Excited, her eyes filled with hot tears.

"Daughter, you did it; Mother is proud of you."

Holding Xiao Qian'er and spinning around, Liu Yuer felt all her hard work and effort over this period were worth it; from now on, her daughter would no longer be an outsider.

Chen Chuyang agreed to take her as a disciple, so from now on the daughter would be Chen Chuyang's eldest disciple, and currently his only disciple.

This status is enough to keep her from being bullied and to prevent those people from despising her.

She can stay here without being mocked by other members of the Chen Clan.

On the surface there won't be any, but…

The people on Longshe Shan naturally wouldn't be like that; as for the Chen Clan, who can guarantee everyone will accept them?

Her situation is much better, but the daughter, after all, has no relation to the Chen Clan; even if Chen Shen dotes on them mother and daughter, some people's mouths he can't control.

They can't stay on Longshe Shan forever; this place is Chen Chuyang's territory, not Chen Shen's home.

If they want the daughter to stay here, the only way is to make her a disciple of Chen Chuyang; then, when she goes to the Chen Clan and lives with Chen Shen, she won't need to worry herself, with Chen Chuyang helping to look after her, the daughter will do very well.

Liu Yuer doesn't want her daughter to go to the Chen Clan; there are too many kinds of people, she doesn't want her daughter to face those people; staying on Longshe Shan is the best choice, also beneficial for her daughter's cultivation path.

Before, Liu Yuer had worried for a long time, thinking about this every night.

She had consistently refused Chen Shen, also because of her daughter.

She worried her daughter would be bullied, worried her daughter would be discriminated against and mocked.

At this moment, her heart let out a sigh of relief.

Holding her daughter, she burst into tears from excitement.

No one understands her feelings; as a mother, her first priority is to look after her daughter well—this daughter is her treasure, she can't let her daughter be bullied.

"Daughter, you did great; Mother is very happy."

"Mother, you should be happy."

"Yes, yes, Mother is very happy."

Liu Yuer wiped away her tears, hugged her daughter, unwilling to let go.

Her heart belongs entirely to her daughter.

In her heart, she thanks Chen Chuyang; she knows Chen Chuyang took her daughter as a disciple partly out of respect for Chen Shen's face, partly due to her own small contribution, and next, the daughter's talent and potential are what truly matter.

In short, she does what she ought to do, striving to make Chen Chuyang satisfied with her daughter; afterward, the daughter's situation will improve greatly.

"Daughter, from now on you must respect your teacher and value the Way, and must not do anything that would disappoint your master."

「Mother, I understand. 」 Zhang Nongqian had long since regarded Chen Chuyang as family in her heart.

In her heart, she now had a place for Chen Chuyang.

Although Chen Chuyang was very strict with her, she knew it was all for her own good.

Besides, there was also Sister Hongxue, who was also her sister.

You must cultivate well, refine pills well, and repay your master well.

Yes, mother.

Zhang Nongqian's eyes were firm; from now on she had one more thing to do: repay the kindness of Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue.

In the future, she would live not only for her mother, but also for her master.

She would refine pills well, fulfilling her master's high hopes for her.

Daughter, mother is truly happy.

Holding her daughter, Liu Yuer felt only joy in her heart.

Zhang Nongqian nodded, satisfied; as long as mother was happy, that was enough—she had done all this just to keep mother from worrying and from secretly crying for her at night, knowing every night mother shed tears behind her back, yet Zhang Nongqian did not expose it, secretly turning her back to mother, knowing and understanding everything.
