Chapter 113: 111. Shen Qingyi Has Figured It Out (2/2)

111. Shen Qingyi Has Figured It Out (2/2)

Chen An thought he had misheard and said somewhat uncertainly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, that... could you say that again? I didn't quite catch it just now."

Shen Qingyi turned over, sat up on the bed facing Chen An, looked into his eyes, and said, "Alchemist Chen, you use the excuse of massage every night to take advantage of me. Are you lusting after my body?"

This question was too blunt.

Chen An did not know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that he did not speak, Shen Qingyi continued on her own, "Back when I was at the Xuanhuang Sect, my master always warned me that if one wants to go far on the path of cultivation, one cannot have romantic feelings."

"But now, I am confused."

"The master I always regarded as my own father is actually the enemy who killed my parents."

"And Alchemist Chen, you clearly think about being intimate with your wives and concubines whenever you have time, yet your cultivation realm, your level in Alchemy Dao, and the speed at which you learn Dharma Spell are all far beyond your peers. This is different from what my master said."

"I feel that in a few years, my cultivation will sooner or later be surpassed by you."

"I am very confused now. Does the path of cultivation really require abstinence and the stifling of romantic feelings?"

"By the way, Alchemist Chen, why are you so keen on taking wives and concubines and having children? Weren't you worried at the beginning that this would delay your cultivation?"

Shen Qingyi said a lot all at once; these were all things she had been suppressing in her heart.

Chen An thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, sometimes when fate arrives, you can't stop it. I am just following my true heart."

"True heart?"

Shen Qingyi lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she looked up at Chen An, her tone calm yet carrying a ripple, and said, "Alchemist Chen, although you are a bit lecherous, you are very honest, and I don't dislike that."

"If you want my body, I am willing to give it to you."

"It's just that I have never had romantic feelings before. Can you give me some time to buffer?"

"One month will do."

Shen Qingyi said with a serious face.

Seeing that she did not seem to be joking, Chen An thought he was dreaming for a moment.

You have kept yourself pure for so many years, and you are just giving yourself to me like this?

Just giving it away like that?

Without any warning?

Is it this casual?

Seeing that Chen An was silent again, Shen Qingyi thought she was being wishful, so she immediately said, "Alchemist Chen, it was my misunderstanding. Just pretend I never said what I just said."

Upon hearing this.

Chen An instantly came back to his senses, reached out to hold Shen Qingyi's Jade Foot, and said excitedly,

"No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, since you have said so, I won't pretend to be a gentleman anymore."

"I want to take you as a concubine. From the first moment I saw you at Zhenbao Hang, I have been thinking about taking you as a concubine."

Chen An also laid his cards on the table and expressed all his true inner thoughts at once.

Such a maiden had disregarded her reputation to throw herself at him.

As a man who already had three wives and concubines, he had no reason to be reserved.

After hearing these words from Chen An.

Shen Qingyi was slightly stunned; she clearly had not expected that Chen An had taken a fancy to her from the very beginning.

She pursed her thin lips and said in a calm voice, "Alchemist Chen, perhaps it is very selfish of me to say this, but my thought right now is that my body can be given to you, and from now on it will only be given to you alone, but I do not want to marry, and I do not want to become your concubine. I like being free and unfettered; I like to travel the world with my sword and punish evil."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I respect your choice."

Chen An held Shen Qingyi's Jade Foot tightly and said without hesitation.

Regardless of what she said, he would agree first.

Shen Qingyi did not expect Chen An to agree so quickly; she had thought her unreasonable request would be met with his disdain.

As expected, Alchemist Chen is a very good man.

He is willing to respect a woman's thoughts.

Entrusting her body to him might be the most correct thing she has ever done in her life.

Shen Qingyi thought this to herself, and her favor for Chen An grew even more.

She retracted her beautiful Jade Foot, looked at Chen An with clear eyes, and said, "Alchemist Chen, let's stop the massage for tonight. For the next month, you don't need to come to my room to massage me anymore. After a month, I will go to your room to find you myself."

"Mm, then I won't disturb your rest. Sleep well, Fellow Daoist Shen."

After Chen An finished speaking, he did not stay any longer and stood up to leave Shen Qingyi's boudoir.

Since it was clearly within his reach, there was no need to rush.

To avoid leaving a bad impression on Shen Qingyi.

In the days that followed.

The Thousand-Eating Insect disaster outside the house did not diminish at all.

Instead, it had a tendency to become even more severe.

Some houses that were not very sturdy were directly knocked down by swarms of Thousand-Eating Insects, and the cultivators inside instantly turned into piles of white bones.

Everyone was afraid to go outside.

They did not even dare to open the slightest crack in the doors or windows.

The same was true for Chen An's family.

However, thanks to the Cloud Veil Array and the Lightning Strike Array, people could still come out of the house into the courtyard.

As long as they did not step one foot outside the courtyard gate, they could ensure their safety.

In the blink of an eye.

More than half a month passed.

During this period.

Song Huaying took advantage of Shen Qingyi's fondness for children, using her own daughter as a tool to build a relationship with Shen Qingyi, eventually becoming like sisters.

Her daughter Chen Yuejian also liked Shen Qingyi very much, asking her every day to take her Sword Flight in the courtyard.

Gu Xinyue didn't change much, just feeling that there was one more person eating in the house.

Wen Zhiyun felt very unaccustomed to it.

Previously in this home, she was a powerhouse at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer and the oldest among the wives and concubines; in front of the two younger sisters, she had always felt like the primary wife.

But now, there was suddenly a Shen Qingyi in the house whose cultivation and age were both higher than hers, which made her feel that her status in the family was gone forever.

As for Chen An.

During this half month.

He was either refining Spirit Stone to cultivate and improve his cultivation, or using the various Dharma Spell he had just learned to amuse his daughter and improve his Dharma Spell proficiency.

This day.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

His daughter Chen Yuejian woke up very early.

As usual, she ran into the Alchemy Room, walked up to Chen An who was sitting cross-legged by the window cultivating, and said in a crisp voice:

"Daddy, Sister Shen hasn't woken up yet, would you take me into the courtyard for Sword Flight?"

Looking at his daughter's bright and cute eyes, Chen An agreed without a second thought:

"Alright, let's go, Daddy will take you out to the courtyard for Sword Flight."

"Daddy, you are the best Daddy!"

Chen Yuejian's face blossomed with a smile as bright as a flower.

Seeing his daughter smile so happily, Chen An also felt genuinely happy.

Soon.

The father and daughter arrived in the courtyard.

With a thought, Chen An took the three-meter-long Flying Boat Sword from his Storage Bag and easily levitated it to a height of over half a meter.

Then he picked up his daughter and jumped on with a light leap.

At the very beginning, Chen An had found it somewhat strenuous to fly while controlling this heavy Flying Boat Sword.

But after the improvements over the past half month, his Sword Flight Technique had successfully broken through to the Proficient realm, and now he felt no pressure at all.

"Xiao Yuejian, hold tight to Daddy's leg, Daddy is going to take you up."

"Holding tight, Daddy fly fast!"

Chen Yuejian opened her arms to hug her father's leg, urging him in a voice that was no longer as babyish as before.

Chen An touched her head with a loving expression, then slowly accelerated while controlling the Flying Boat Sword, circling above the house.

While taking his daughter for a ride, he opened his senses wide, scanning the lanes outside.

The Thousand-Eating Insect were still there.

And their numbers had not decreased.

Everything in sight was pockmarked and uneven.

A dense thicket of bushes that had originally been in the lane had now been dug up by the Thousand-Eating Insect, even the roots hidden deep in the soil, and eaten clean.

"Sigh, I wonder when this demonic insect disaster will end."

"Truly a world where life is as cheap as grass."

"I wonder if those high-level cultivators are living the same kind of life."

Chen An thought pessimistically to himself.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Flying Boat Sword slowly landed.

Chen An held Chen Yuejian and stepped down from the sword.

Chen Yuejian slightly lifted her face, which was already showing the budding beauty of a thin, pointed chin, and asked with her large, watery eyes: "Daddy, I want to fly again after dinner tonight, can you take me then?"

"Of course, Xiao Yuejian, whenever you want to fly, Daddy will take you."

"Daddy is so good!"

Chen Yuejian hugged Chen An's leg with a face full of joy.

【You agreed to the request of your daughter Chen Yuejian, making her overjoyed, Father-Daughter Affection +1.】

【Father-Daughter Affection: 2 stars (100/500)】

【Your affection level with your daughter Chen Yuejian has successfully broken through to 2 stars, rewarding fifty years of cultivation.】

【You have gained fifty years of cultivation, and your cultivation has successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Layer】

Suddenly, a screen full of notification messages popped up before his eyes.

Chen An was slightly stunned, but a moment later he realized what happened and felt a surge of excitement.

Good heavens!

There are rewards for breaking through Father-Daughter Affection levels!

The Daughter-Con System is confirmed!

When it comes to the ability to fleece the system, all three wives and concubines combined cannot compare to one daughter.

After steadying his emotions slightly.

Chen An looked at his cultivation attribute panel, which had already broken through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, and then looked at the notification message above indicating that fifty years of cultivation had been added; he felt a sense of dissatisfaction and loss in his heart.

A full fifty years of cultivation, which is to say fifty years of time, just to break through from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the second level.

Just how poor is my cultivation talent?

Sigh, forget it.

If it's poor, then it's poor.

Having my wife and daughter to practice with is enough.

Chen An's mindset shifted quickly, and in an instant, he swept away the frustration in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

The one-month deadline had arrived.

Chen An took a flower bath early and stayed in his room, waiting for Shen Qingyi to come over.

When the time reached the end of the Hour of the Bo.

Shen Qingyi's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Alchemist Chen, may I come in?"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen An's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He steadied his emotions and said calmly, "The door isn't locked, Fellow Daoist Shen, please just come in."

"Creak—"

The wooden door was pushed open.

Immediately, the scene that entered Chen An's eyes was Shen Qingyi, wearing a loose long dress and emitting a faint floral fragrance, walking in slowly.

Shen Qingyi walked straight to the side of Chen An's bed and sat down; looking calm on the surface, she was actually a bit nervous inside as she said:

"Alchemist Chen, what should I do next?"

"You should take off your socks and sit up first; my bed won't think you're dirty."

Chen An made a rather unserious joke, thinking to ease the nervousness in Shen Qingyi's heart.

Shen Qingyi said "Okay" and leaned over to take off her shoes.

Seeing this, Chen An reached out and grabbed her slender jade arm, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, let me help you take them off."

"Mm."

Shen Qingyi responded with a few words, and feeling somewhat shy, she lifted her long jade legs and, just like when Chen An massaged her before, rested her calves on Chen An's thighs.

Chen An didn't say much, silently taking off her cyan cloth shoes and removing her long white socks, revealing a pair of exquisite and alluring Jade Feet.

"Alchemist Chen, don't keep holding them..."

A faint blush appeared on Shen Qingyi's face; from childhood to now, this was the first time she had been touched on the feet by a man, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Looking at Shen Qingyi, who had suddenly become shy before him, Chen An was instantly captivated.

In his impression, Shen Qingyi had always been a cold woman who had no feelings for the romance between men and women.

Yet at this moment, she was revealing such a girlish posture, which truly struck his love for contrast.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are truly beautiful; whether it is your appearance or your figure, you have deeply attracted me. The Black Tight Suit you usually wear simply doesn't match such a beautiful you. Will you wear dresses from now on?"

Chen An looked at Shen Qingyi, who was no longer wrapped in cloth strips and no longer wearing a Black Tight Suit, but instead wearing a cyan silk long dress, his eyes full of eagerness.

Shen Qingyi did not dare to look directly into his eyes; she turned her head slightly to the side, pursed her lips, and refused, "If I don't wear the tight suit, it's inconvenient for me to wield my sword; I must wear it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she added in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "But when I'm at home, I will wear a dress for you to see..."

Hearing this, Chen An could no longer hold back, and he reached out and pulled Shen Qingyi into his arms.

Then, he could clearly feel the beautiful woman in his arms tremble slightly.

"Alchemist Chen, please be gentle..."
