129. A Sense of Achievement in Construction (2/2)

"Husband, do you not know much about the Fox Demon Clan?"

Seeing Chen An's uncertain expression, Shen Qingyi realized this and couldn't help but ask softly.

Chen An did not feel embarrassed by his lack of knowledge and nodded quite frankly: "Mm, I really don't know much."

Upon hearing this, the wives and concubines were all surprised.

The Fox Demon Clan is very famous and has been the object of many male cultivators' erotic fantasies throughout history.

Yet, their lecherous husband, who is almost overflowing with vigor every single day, actually doesn't know about the Fox Demon Clan?

This is simply unbelievable.

The wives and concubines were puzzled by this, while Chen An only felt it was a matter of course.

He is not a native of this world and cannot quite understand the obsession male cultivators in this world have with fox demons; he would never go out of his way to learn about them for no reason.

He thought that the male cultivators in this world liking to fantasize about having something happen with a fox demon is perhaps the same logic as men in his past life liking 【censored】.

In the time that followed.

Out of concern for her husband's personal safety, Shen Qingyi patiently educated Chen An on the characteristics of fox demons, lest he fall into their trap one day.

First, in this world, fox demons are an extremely unique existence; they are not demon creatures formed from the cultivation of foxes, but are born as demons and born in human form. Apart from having fox ears and fox tails, they are no different from human women in other respects.

Second, fox demons are born with graceful figures and peerless beauty. There are only females, no males, and they can only reproduce with human males; their numbers are extremely small.

Third, before reaching adulthood, fox demons survive on mother's milk, and after adulthood, they can only survive by absorbing the vital essence of human males.

Fourth, fox demons have extremely strong spiritual power and are skilled in using various Illusion Techniques. Their primary hunting method is to use the Charm Technique to bewitch human males until they are head over heels, then use their mouths to absorb the vital essence from the victim's body. Those who are drained will suffer damage to their Dao foundation at best, or drop dead on the spot at worst.

Fifth, the physical bodies of fox demons are extremely weak. As long as one can effectively counter their Illusion Techniques and Charm Technique, one can easily overcome the superior with the inferior and take them down.

After listening to this explanation from Shen Qingyi.

Chen An couldn't help but have his horizons broadened, lamenting that the fox demons in this world are truly too special.

"Husband, remember to carry a Severing Emotion Pill when you go out in the future. This pill might be able to effectively counter the fox demons' Charm Technique."

Gu Xinyue suggested.

After hearing this, Chen An's eyes lit up; only then did he remember that he possessed the Severing Emotion Pill.

The effect of this pill is to make the user lose interest in the opposite sex for a certain period, which is exactly the opposite of the effect of the Charm Technique.

In terms of effect, it should be able to restrain the Charm Technique.

But as for how it works specifically, he would have to try it to know.

"Yue, it's a good thing I have you, otherwise I would have almost forgotten about the Severing Emotion Pill."

As Chen An said this, he pulled Gu Xinyue into his arms and, in front of the other three wives and concubines, lowered his head to kiss her pretty face, expressing his affection for her without any concealment.

Now, he has gradually used the term "husband" less and less, preferring to refer to himself as "I," with language that is more modernized.

"You really are something. Two daughters are still here; can't you show some restraint?"

Wen Zhiyun accused Chen An of kissing Gu Xinyue regardless of the occasion and felt somewhat dissatisfied with this.

Chen An was unconcerned and said: "I'm just kissing her cheek; there's nothing inappropriate for children here. Why are you so sensitive?"

"You just have no sense of propriety."

"You're actually right about that; I really don't have much sense of propriety. Come, Zhiyun, give me a kiss!"

Saying this, Chen An leaned over to Wen Zhiyun's face and kissed her.

It was a quick kiss, so fast that Wen Zhiyun couldn't react at all.

Wen Zhiyun said with a look of shy anger: "You are truly annoying to death; I don't want to see you!"

After saying this, she got up and left the open area in the center of the tunnel—the so-called hall—and walked into a small compartment in the front, which was equivalent to a room in their previous house.

Not even a month old and only a tiny bit in size, Chen Yike saw her mother suddenly get up and walk into the room, so she immediately moved her sturdy little short legs and followed behind, running in with a "momo" sound.

Watching this scene, Gu Xinyue hesitated for a moment before looking at Chen An to persuade him: "Husband, please yield to Sister Wen a bit in the future, okay? Sister Wen has to take care of little Yike every day and it is very hard work. It is normal for her to be a little temperamental occasionally."

Before Chen An could speak, Song Huaying opposite them smiled with her beautiful eyes curved: "Sister Gu, this is where you don't understand. The bickering between Husband and Sister Wen just now is just flirting between a married couple; it's quite fun. If Husband didn't bicker, Sister Wen wouldn't be happy."

"Ah? Is that so..."

Gu Xinyue found this hard to understand.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi spoke up. She skipped the topic of flirting and said rationally: "Husband, barring any accidents, our family will likely have to live in this tunnel for quite a while. We must carefully take stock of our existing living supplies."

"Qingyi is right."

After Chen An finished speaking, he moved his thoughts and took out all the living supplies from his Storage Bag, beginning to take stock.

Seeing this, the three wives and concubines also took out their own Storage Bags and followed suit to take stock.

"Husband, I'll go call Sister Wen out."

Song Huaying let Gu Xinyue help her take stock while she went to call Wen Zhiyun out to join them.

Soon, Wen Zhiyun came out.

She did not give Chen An a good look and glared at him.

Chen An was used to it; he got up, walked over to sit beside Wen Zhiyun, and naturally reached out to hold her while they took stock of the supplies.

Although Wen Zhiyun was angry, she let him hold her and allowed his restless hand to keep taking liberties with her.

About two quarter-hours later.

All the supplies had been counted.

Among them, the most important were food and water.

There was Spirit Rice and dried meat; if they ate sparingly, it would be no problem to last for a year or so.

As for water, it was more troublesome.

Because the Water Gathering Spirit Jar that was originally placed in the backyard to collect spirit water had been smashed not long ago by the corpse of a Demon Beast that fell from the sky.

Now, if they want water, they either have to rely on collecting rainwater from the sky or go to the stream outside to fetch some back.

"It's a pity none of us have a Water Spirit Root, otherwise we could continuously create water and wouldn't have to worry about water usage."

Chen An said with some regret.

Shen Qingyi was organizing the dried meat while saying calmly: "It's fine. As for the water issue, I'll just go out with you periodically to bring some back; it's not a big problem."

Chen An nodded and said: "That's true."

After saying that.

He suddenly remembered there were still many resources in the house above the tunnel that could be utilized, so he said to his wives and concubines:

"I'm going up for a trip to bring in the Spirit Grass from the vegetable garden, the Spirit Chicken from the coop, and the Spirit Fish from the pond, so that if some demon creature falls from the sky again one day, these won't all be wiped out."

"Husband, I'll go with you," Shen Qingyi said, standing up as well.

"No need, it's not very safe up there. It's better if I go alone."

Leaving these words behind, Chen An returned to the surface by himself to collect the resources.

He dug up all the spirit vegetables in the garden and brought them back into the tunnel.

Then, he planted a few seeds under each of the cave openings where light shone in.

He would plant as many as he could.

The rest were all hung to dry under the cave openings to make dried vegetables.

As for the Spirit Chicken in the coop and the Spirit Fish in the pond, since he was not a cultivator with a Water Spirit Root and lacked the means to preserve them by freezing, he slaughtered them all and hung them under the cave openings to make dried chicken and dried fish.

Besides that, he also moved the corpses of the Demon Beasts that had been shot dead in the courtyard by his Golden Finger into the tunnel, likewise processing them into dried meat for storage.

During the drying process, he could use Pill Fire to roast and accelerate it, so there was no need to worry about the meat rotting.

"Right, I also need to set up the Sound Isolation Array."

Chen An remembered this, quickly returned to the surface to retrieve the core of the Soundproofing Array, and then set up the Sound Isolation Array inside the tunnel.

The Sound Isolation Array was one-way, isolating sound from the inside out.

One could hear sounds from the outside while inside the array, but those outside the array could not hear sounds from within.

"Mission accomplished!"

"In the days to come, the whole family can comfortably take refuge in the tunnel."

Chen An looked around at the tunnel he had spent the better part of a day creating, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

This was a man's innate sense of accomplishment from building.
