Chapter 103: 101. Daughter's Attributes (1/3)

101. Daughter's Attributes (1/3)

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

As the sky was just beginning to brighten, Chen An sat up from the bed, looking at the notification information before him.

【Alchemy Experience +4】x18

【Golden Finger Mastery +4】x8

【Divine Sense Strength +3】x35

【Golden Finger Mastery +3】x21

Hmm, quite a harvest.

Making a little progress every day.

It is exhilarating.

Then, with a thought, he opened his long-neglected attribute panel.

【Name: Chen An】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment First Layer】

【Alchemy: Second-tier Beginner (4396/12500)】

【Divine Sense: Second-tier Beginner (3879/12500)】

【Golden Finger: Grandmaster (4211/12500)】

【Sleep Aid Technique: Mastery (555/2500)】

【Fire Spirit Root: Middle-Grade (388/500)】

【Spouses: Song Huaying (4-star), Gu Xinyue (3-star), Wen Zhiyun (3-star)】

【Offspring: Chen Yuejian, Unnamed (5 months)】

He looked it over carefully.

Almost all the attributes on the panel still had a long way to go before breaking through to the next level.

Among them, the only attribute closest to breaking through to the next level was the Fire Spirit Root.

However, Wen Zhiyun was only five months pregnant, so there was still a wait ahead.

"It's been a while since I checked; I wonder how the progress of my wives' affection levels is going..."

Chen An muttered to himself.

Immediately, with a thought, he opened the attribute panels of his three wives to check the data.

【Name: Song Huaying】

【Cultivation: None for now】

【Attribute: Repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring】

【Affection: 4-star (2603/12500)】

【Name: Gu Xinyue】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining First Layer】

【Attribute: Pure and unsullied, loyal and steadfast】

【Affection: 3-star (2499/2500)】

【Name: Wen Zhiyun】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining Eighth Layer】

【Attribute: Stunningly beautiful, excellent natural talent】

Hmm?

A new cultivation attribute column?

Chen An looked at the panel before him and discovered that he could see the cultivation levels of his wives on it.

He smiled inwardly; this is good, very good.

It seems this system is quite intelligent.

I wonder if other attribute columns will be added in the future.

For example, lifespan?

This is very important.

Because if he could see their lifespans, he would be able to clearly know what he could do in the future to help extend the lives of his wives and daughter.

"Husband, good morning."

Gu Xinyue had woken up and looked at Chen An with a faint smile as she spoke.

Chen An also smiled as he looked at her and said, "Good morning, Yue."

"Husband, are you hungry? I'll go make breakfast for you."

"Silly Yue, why bother making breakfast? We're staying at an inn now; someone will bring breakfast over in a while. Just lie back down and sleep a bit more; we were tossing and turning until so late last night."

"Oh, that's right, we're not at home anymore."

Gu Xinyue said a bit naively, looking unexpectedly cute.

Chen An recalled the data he had just seen on Gu Xinyue's panel—she was only 1 point of experience away from breaking her affection level through to 4 stars.

So, he moved to sit beside Gu Xinyue and said with a gentle smile, "Come, Yue, don't rush to sleep yet. You've worked so hard for this family; your husband will give you a massage to help you relax."

"Mm, sorry to trouble you, Husband."

As they were already an old married couple, Gu Xinyue did not stand on ceremony with Chen An. As she spoke, she turned over, lay on the bed in an alluring posture, and waited quietly for Chen An to massage her.

About half an incense stick of time later.

【You massaged your wife Gu Xinyue, letting her feel the love from her husband, Affection +1.】

【Name: Gu Xinyue】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining First Layer】

【Attributes: Pure and unsullied, loyal and steadfast】

【Affection: 4 stars (2500/12500)】

Very good, another 4-star wife.

Chen An looked at the panel information before him, a gratified smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Previously, when Song Huaying broke through to 4 stars, the system had prompted him about this matter.

When the husband-and-wife affection level breaks through to 5 stars, both parties can form a bond called "Shared Fortune" and obtain a mysterious system reward.

Chen An felt very expectant about this.

In the blink of an eye.

Over an hour passed.

The wives and daughter woke up one after another.

The originally quiet room suddenly became lively.

Because they were staying in a guest room, the wives and concubines rarely had to do housework, so they were all accompanying Chen Yuejian in her play, having a wonderful time.

They say men are boys until they die; in fact, women are the same.

"Wen Niang, why has your belly become so big?"

Chen Yuejian looked at Wen Zhiyun's slightly protruding lower abdomen and couldn't help but ask with a face full of curiosity.

Wen Zhiyun scared her, saying: "That's because Wen Niang is too lazy, only knowing how to eat, drink, and play every day without knowing how to cultivate, so my belly swelled up. If you keep being this lazy and don't cultivate diligently, hmph hmph..."

Chen Yuejian was frightened and immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate diligently, fearing she would become like Wen Zhiyun.

Chen An watched, unable to laugh or cry.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A series of knocks sounded outside the door.

Opening the door to look, it was the waiter from the inn.

He had come to deliver breakfast.

Chen An took it and looked; it was very standard breakfast fare, just Spirit Rice porridge, Spirit Eggs, Spirit soy milk, and the like.

Soon, the family of five sat down to eat breakfast.

"Husband, this breakfast tastes quite good, but I always feel something is missing; it doesn't have that flavor when eating it."

Song Huaying ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast and gave this evaluation.

Chen An nodded: "Indeed."

Gu Xinyue was a bit confused; she felt it tasted very good when she ate it, so why were her husband and Ying dissatisfied and feeling it lacked that flavor?

Also, what was that flavor?

Gu Xinyue could not figure it out no matter how she thought, so she could only ask aloud: "Husband, Ying, what does that flavor refer to?"

Wen Zhiyun, who was beside her, smiled after hearing this and teased her with the air of a big sister: "Silly Yue, does this even need asking? It must be missing your deep, thick love. Breakfast made outside can't compare to what you make at home, Yue."

"Sister Gu, my stomach has been spoiled by you; you have to take responsibility, okay?"

Song Huaying slightly pouted her little mouth to act spoiled; it was one thing to act spoiled in front of her husband, but now she wouldn't even let her own sister Gu Xinyue off.

Chen Yuejian also learned from her mother and acted spoiled: "Gu Niang, oh Gu Niang, I want to drink the Spirit Chicken Porridge you make!"

Chen An also said with a smile: "Yue's culinary skills are indeed superb, spoiling the stomachs of us few. This home cannot be without you in the future, otherwise we won't be able to go on."

Gu Xinyue was pleasantly surprised, not expecting her family to like the three meals a day she made so much.

At this very moment, facing the reliance of her family, she felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction in her heart, and she couldn't help but change her usual cold and elegant expression, which looked like a lily, revealing a smile full of joy as she said: "As long as you like eating it, I will make it for you every day from now on."

About a quarter of an hour later.

Except for the dawdling Chen Yuejian, everyone else had eaten their fill.

Seeing her eating so slowly, Song Huaying said to her: "Xiao Yuejian, why are you eating so slowly? Everyone else is full, and you're the only one still eating. Look, this porridge is almost cold."

"Mother, it was you who told me to eat slowly. A young girl should be unhurried."

Chen Yuejian was kicking her short little legs leisurely under the table, speaking in a milky voice with sound logic.

Hmm, that made a lot of sense.

But Song Huaying was angered by it.

This little girl was only this big, yet she dared to talk back to her mother like this; what would she be like when she grew up?!

Compared to the little wife's anger, Chen An, who was to the side, was full of gratification.

His daughter not only inherited his little wife's beauty but also inherited his little wife's intelligence; not bad, not bad.

"Chen Yuejian, now, immediately, right away, drink the remaining half bowl of porridge for me, or Mother won't pay any attention to you from now on!"

"Father, Mother is being fierce to me!"

Chen Yuejian was frightened by her mother's aura and looked to her father beside her for help with a fearful expression.

Seeing this, Song Huaying was so angry she trembled.

Then, she also looked at her husband and complained with a wronged expression: "Husband, look, Xiao Yuejian isn't listening at all, she even talked back to her mother!"

Chen An was caught in a dilemma; on one side was his little wife, and on the other was his precious daughter. Helping either one would be thankless.

After some consideration, he chose to look at his daughter in a compromise, saying gently: "Come, Xiao Yuejian, Father will feed you the porridge. You need to eat faster and not make Mother angry."

"Okay!"

Chen Yuejian's voice was crisp.

Chen An picked up the spoon and patiently fed her mouthful by mouthful, preaching as he fed her: "Xiao Yuejian, you must listen to Mother in the future. You are not allowed to talk back to Mother or make Mother angry like you just did, understand?"

"Mm."

Chen Yuejian nodded.

Seeing this, Song Huaying was still somewhat dissatisfied; she felt Chen An was too indulgent toward their daughter, and that he should have scolded her severely instead of lecturing her in such a gentle, soft-spoken manner.

Chen An sensed his young wife's dissatisfaction and promptly placated her: "Ying, I will indulge her just this once; next time, I will listen entirely to you."

Hearing this, Song Huaying felt much more at ease.

In just a moment, their daughter Chen Yuejian finished all the Spirit Rice porridge in her bowl.

She drank it clean, the bottom of the bowl shining, not a single grain of rice left.

"Daddy, I finished it all at once; am I amazing?"

Their daughter Chen Yuejian opened her big, doll-like eyes, her face clearly written with the words "I want to be praised."

Chen An satisfied her small request, smiling as he reached out to pat her head and praise her: "Xiao Yuejian is truly amazing, just as amazing as Daddy was when he was little."

"Yay, I'm just as amazing as Daddy!"

Chen Yuejian was so happy that her little face turned rosy.

【You praised your daughter Chen Yuejian for being amazing, filling her with joy; father-daughter affection +1.】

【Name: Chen Yuejian】

【Cultivation: None】

【Attributes: Clever and bright, exceptional comprehension】

【Affection: 1 Star (23/100)】
