Chapter 132: 130, Song Huaying's Little Tricks (1/2)

130, Song Huaying's Little Tricks (1/2)

By the time Chen An had finished building the tunnel, the sky outside had already turned dim.

Night Pearls were embedded in the walls of the tunnel; although the brightness was not very high, it was enough for those living inside to move about in the middle of the night.

"Daddy, I want to practice Sword Flight."

The eldest daughter walked over and said, her tender little face full of anticipation; her addiction to Sword Flight had flared up again.

Just as Chen An was about to explain to her that it was a special time and she could not go outside to practice Sword Flight, his little beloved wife Song Huaying walked over and spoke first:

"Xiao Yuejian, there are man-eating Demon Beasts everywhere outside right now. Do you want to get eaten?"

"Daddy will protect me!"

Chen Yuejian had great confidence in her father; in her eyes, he was the most powerful man in the whole world, mainly because she hadn't seen many other men.

Seeing his daughter had such confidence in him, Chen An smiled gently at her and said, "You're overthinking it. Your daddy can't even protect himself right now, so how could I protect you?"

"Eh?"

Chen Yuejian was a bit stunned after hearing this; her daddy was so powerful, yet he couldn't even protect himself?

Before she could voice her question, she was quickly taken to the room by her mother to sleep.

Her younger sister Chen Yike accompanied them.

Chen Yike was already weaned and rarely made a fuss when sleeping at night; she was basically a little blockhead all day long, and other than occasionally wetting the bed, she was very well-behaved at other times and could already sleep without relying on Wen Zhiyun.

"Is it really okay for you to say that about yourself in front of your daughters?"

Wen Zhiyun looked into Chen An's eyes, unable to understand why he had just said in front of his daughter that he couldn't protect her, destroying the omnipotent image he held in her heart.

Chen An said calmly, "There is nothing wrong with it. In this world where life is as cheap as grass, instilling a sense of crisis in her from a young age is not a bad thing."

"That's true."

Wen Zhiyun felt it made sense after hearing this.

The two daughters had been under the protection of a father with Foundation Establishment cultivation since birth and had always lived in an extremely safe environment, so they would indeed lack a sense of crisis and lack awe for this world where everyone was in danger.

Chen Yuejian's request to practice Sword Flight just now was a good example.

"Husband, are you hungry? Why don't I go cook some Spirit Potato Sugar Water, and we can all have a late-night snack together?"

Gu Xinyue suggested.

Chen An refused without even thinking: "It is a special time now, so we should save food where we can. Once the situation stabilizes in the future, we can be a bit more self-indulgent then."

"Mm, I understand, Husband."

Gu Xinyue felt a little disappointed inside, not because her husband had rejected her suggestion, but because she felt she was too thoughtless for not having considered the food shortage.

Just at this moment!

A sound of heavy objects hitting the ground suddenly came from above!

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Following that, a series of muffled beast roars erupted, spreading throughout the entire Baicao Lane in the silent, soundless night.

More Demon Beasts had fallen from the sky!

Chen An's expression turned solemn instantly.

It was clear that they had just experienced a Demon Beast falling from the sky during the day, and not much time had passed before another one came at night.

This frequency was too exaggerated.

"Husband, it seems more Demon Beasts have invaded Baicao Lane."

Shen Qingyi also looked solemn, feeling worried about what was happening right now.

Chen An soothed her softly: "It's not a big problem. As long as we stay honestly in the tunnel and don't go out, no matter how chaotic the ground becomes, it won't affect us."

"It's a good thing Husband had the foresight to dig a tunnel under the house in advance, otherwise tonight would have been dangerous."

Perhaps because she had been with Song Huaying for too long and had been influenced by her, the usually cold-natured Gu Xinyue was now flattering her own husband.

Wen Zhiyun looked at Gu Xinyue in surprise, clearly not expecting that this sister of hers would actually flatter someone.

It seemed she had been corrupted by sister Ying.

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening loud noise came from above the tunnel.

It shook the entire tunnel until it trembled.

Immediately after, a roaring sound of a giant beast echoed from the ground.

A Demon Beast had crashed onto the top of the tunnel!

"Daddy, I'm scared, sob, sob, sob!"

"Wah... wah... wah!"

The two young daughters in the room were both frightened awake by this sudden, huge noise and began to wail loudly.

Hearing this, Chen An rushed to the room immediately, gently soothed the two daughters for a while, and then cast a Sleep Aid Technique on each of them to help them sleep soundly.

Next, he took out a Sound-Isolation Talisman to isolate the room from the sounds of the outside world.

The effect of the Sound-Isolation Talisman was the opposite of a Sound Isolation Array.

After using the Sound-Isolation Talisman, one could not hear the sounds from outside in a specific area, but the sounds from inside could be heard from the outside.

"Husband, have more Demon Beasts fallen from the sky outside?"

Seeing that her daughters were sleeping soundly, Song Huaying couldn't help but ask, her face full of worry.

Chen An soothed her softly: "It's fine, we are very safe in the tunnel, no need to worry."

"Mm."

Song Huaying gave an assured response.

In the time that followed, Chen An wanted to use Sound-Isolation Talismans for each of his wives' and concubines' rooms as well.

But the wives and concubines all said it wasn't necessary, telling him to save them for his two daughters instead.

"Then with it being so noisy up there right now, how will you sleep later?"

Chen An looked at his four wives and concubines and asked, not wanting them to wrong themselves just to save a few Sound-Isolation Talismans.

Sound-Isolation Talismans were different from food; there were rarely times they were needed, so the concept of waste simply didn't exist.

Touched by their husband's concern, the wives and concubines could feel their husband's kindness.

"Missing a night or two of sleep is no big deal at all. Besides, no matter how noisy the Demon Beasts outside are, there will be times they stop, and we can just catch up on sleep then."

Wen Zhiyun brushed back a lock of hair hanging by her ear, her voice intellectual and charming.

Shen Qingyi agreed, saying: "I am a great cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage; even if I don't sleep for half a month, it's not much of a problem. There really is no need to waste the Sound-Isolation Talismans."

Chen An nodded, then looked at Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, whose cultivation was only at the pitiful Qi Refining First Layer, and asked them: "What about you two?"

Gu Xinyue said with a sensible look: "Husband, I won't use one for now. I'll use it when I'm truly too tired to help it and it's still very noisy outside."

Song Huaying blinked her watery, beautiful eyes and said with a playful smile: "It's fine! Husband, it's not like you don't know—Ying can call out even louder than those Demon Beasts, and be even noisier than them. Once I'm tired from calling, I'll naturally be able to fall asleep peacefully."

"You little troublemaker, you're getting more mischievous by the day." Chen An gently flicked his little wife's forehead and smiled warmly.

Song Huaying took the opportunity to step forward and hook her arm through his, standing slightly on tiptoe to lean against his ear, breathing softly like an orchid:

"The reason Ying is so mischievous now is all because Husband doesn't spank me enough usually~"

As she said this, she didn't forget to playfully blow a breath, the hot air making Chen An's ear feel tingly and itchy.

Being this mischievous, could Chen An endure it? He started spanking her right there in front of everyone, the sound of the slapping ringing out incessantly.

The other three wives and concubines blushed at the sight; to be this old and still get spanked, it was embarrassing just to watch.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"Little troublemaker, do you know you were wrong?"

Chen An set down Song Huaying, who had been taught a lesson, looking like a father disciplining his daughter, though he was smiling the whole time—clearly, they were flirting.

"I was wrong, but I'll dare to do it again next time." Song Huaying's small face was flushed with a faint crimson, her tone like a mischievous daughter, though given the age gap, the two could indeed pass for father and daughter.

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at the two of them and said with a huff: "You two have had enough, haven't you? I can barely stand to look."

In reality, she also wanted to flirt with her husband like that.

It was just that there were too many people around right now, so she couldn't let go.

In the time that followed, Chen An sat in the main hall chatting with his wives and concubines.

There was no help for it; the ground was too noisy.

Occasionally, there were even loud bangs and vibrations from heavy objects hitting the floor.

"Husband, why don't we play some little games to pass the time?"

Seeing that everyone had run out of topics to chat about, Song Huaying suggested with a sweet smile and curved, beautiful eyes.

Wen Zhiyun said speechlessly: "Ying, is this game of yours proper?"

"It's proper! It's definitely proper!" Song Huaying pouted slightly, feigning anger and acting coy: "Sister Wen is so mean, looking at Ying as if I'm an improper woman; I'm so hurt."

"You girl, you're trying to pull that act on your sister now, aren't you?"

As Wen Zhiyun spoke, she pulled Song Huaying into her arms and gave her a good ruffling, kneading the two little bits of soft flesh on her face into all sorts of shapes.

Song Huaying begged for mercy repeatedly: "Wen, Sister Wen, ah, I was wrong, I, I, ah, I won't dare to tease you ever again."

Her voice was intermittent, but it didn't sound like she was in pain; rather, there was a hint of playful joy in it.

The two women played around for a good while before separating.

Chen An looked at Song Huaying, whose hair was about to become a bird's nest, and walked over with a smile to help her tidy it up, asking as he did so: "Ying, what was the little game you mentioned just now?"

Song Huaying said in a soft, glutinous voice: "Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted Husband to help the four of us sisters dress up, but Husband has to dress us according to the image he has of us in his mind."

When the other three wives and concubines heard this, their eyes all lit up in unison.

This way of playing was very interesting; through how their husband dressed them, they could understand what kind of person they were in his eyes.

"Husband, Ying's suggestion is good."

"I think so too."

"Mm, it does sound interesting."

Wen Zhiyun, Gu Xinyue, and Shen Qingyi said one after another.

Seeing that his wives and concubines all wanted to play, Chen An naturally chose to satisfy them, smiling elegantly: "Alright then, take out your respective clothing, jewelry, and rouge, and I will dress you all up properly."

Upon hearing this, the wives and concubines all moved their thoughts, taking their respective items out of their Storage Bags and placing them separately on the table for Chen An to choose from later.
