Chapter 133: 131. A Harmonious Underground Life (2/2)

131. A Harmonious Underground Life (2/2)

Chen An swept a glance at the items his wives and concubines had taken out and placed on the table.

Except for those belonging to Shen Qingyi and Wen Zhiyun, he was very familiar with the things belonging to Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue.

Because he had bought most of them.

Half of Wen Zhiyun's things were bought by him, and half were her own old belongings, such as various loose Daoist robes and the like.

As for Shen Qingyi's things, they were almost all her own.

They were very unfamiliar, yet also very fresh.

A glance swept over, and under Shen Qingyi's pile of things, he saw several dudous.

"Tsk tsk, this swordswoman is truly unique; she doesn't stand on ceremony at all, lacking even the slightest bit of the reserve of a woman in a feudal society."

"However, I just happen to like this kind of heroic swordswoman."

Chen An thought to himself.

Afterward, he continued to study the items on the table, occasionally raising his head to size up his wives and concubines, pondering how to dress these fairies who were as beautiful as heaven.

This process took about an hour and a half.

Chen An finally finalized the plan.

Song Huaying: sweet and cute, likes to act spoiled, seems to have a hint of a "green tea" vibe.

Gu Xinyue: cold and indifferent, not good with words.

Wen Zhiyun: intellectual and charming, says one thing while meaning another, has a tsundere personality; she usually dresses very conservatively, but her figure is sexily provocative enough to commit a crime, making her a beautiful, ascetic-looking woman with extreme contrast.

Shen Qingyi: full of righteousness, hates evil with a passion.

"Alright, I have determined the styling direction for each of you. Who wants to experience it first?"

Chen An's voice was gentle, his gaze sweeping slowly over his four wives and concubines.

Song Huaying wanted to go first, but worried that the three older sisters might have opinions, so she smiled sweetly: "Let the three sisters go first, I'll be last."

Wen Zhiyun also smiled: "I am the elder sister, I must certainly yield to the younger ones. Let Ying and Yue go first."

Gu Xinyue also followed suit, yielding: "Let Sister Wen go first."

Shen Qingyi felt that this back-and-forth yielding was a waste of time, so she killed the competition directly: "None of you three younger sisters need to yield. Let's just go in the order of when you married our husband."

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue were the beneficiaries, so it was not easy for them to speak up in support.

Wen Zhiyun was the one who lost out, so she had no such concerns, and smiled lightly: "Then I will listen to Sister Qingyi."

Seeing that his wives and concubines had settled the order, Chen An quickly began to dress them.

For Song Huaying, the outfit was: changing into a pink silk long dress, a pair of pink embroidered shoes, wearing a pair of pink pearl earrings, and applying light pink rouge, dressing her up as a cute and lively pink peach-blossom maiden.

The outfit for Gu Xinyue was relatively simple: changing directly into a deep blue silk long dress, wearing a pair of Blue Gem earrings, and applying no rouge to her face, focusing on a minimalist and cold style.

The outfit for Wen Zhiyun required a bit more extra thought: changing into her favorite loose Daoist robe, then trimming the robe, opening the collar a bit to reveal a glimpse of her proud assets, and cutting two long slits in the hem to make it into a Cheongsam style, revealing a pair of plump and slender beautiful legs; when she walked, her snow-white skin was visible, creating an extreme contrast of purity and desire.

When it was finally Shen Qingyi's turn, Chen An designed a unique outfit for her, processing the swordswoman attire she liked to wear when out and about: keeping the high ponytail, making the Black Tight Suit into a Cheongsam style, writing the character "Righteousness" all over her left leg to represent her upright nature, and writing the words "Evil Fall" all over her right leg to represent her hatred of evil and the eradication of sin, further highlighting her chivalrous spirit.

"My wives, do you all like the outfits I meticulously designed for you?"

Chen An was very satisfied with his masterpiece and asked the wives and concubines before him.

Song Huaying was very satisfied, spinning lightly in front of Chen An, and smiled sweetly: "Husband, so in your eyes, I am a pink maiden?"

Chen An smiled: "Yes, Ying, you are pink everywhere; it suits this style very well."

Gu Xinyue, who was to the side, did not speak, only smiling quietly and lightly.

Wen Zhiyun looked at her own open collar, then looked at her white legs exposed on the lower half, and could not help but knit her willow brows slightly: "Husband, won't wearing it like this be too revealing?"

Chen An smiled dismissively: "Anyway, you only wear it at home for me to see, so of course the more revealing the better. It looks so alluring; it makes me want to stay in your bed every night and never get down."

"Pah, you lecher!"

Wen Zhiyun's face turned bright red, and she chided Chen An, but in her heart, she felt very happy about Chen An's obsession with her body.

Chen An stepped forward and took a few liberties with Wen Zhiyun, then looked at Shen Qingyi: "Qingyi, how do you feel about this outfit I gave you?"

Shen Qingyi smiled: "It has character, though it feels a bit strange to have words written all over my legs, but overall I like it very much. Thank you, Husband."

"As long as Qingyi likes it." After saying this, Chen An continued with a smile: "I spent so much effort dressing you all up; how do you intend to repay me?"

"Then how does Husband want us to repay you?"

Song Huaying stepped forward and took Chen An's arm, her eyes filled with affection so thick it was almost viscous.

The other three wives and concubines—some expectant, some blushing—the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.

In a blink of an eye.

Time arrived at the next morning.

The sky was still somewhat dim.

At this time, there were no longer the sounds of heavy objects crashing into the ground or the roars of Demon Beasts coming from the surface; there was only the sound of even breathing coming from the wives and concubines beside him.

The wives and concubines were sleeping very soundly, and even Shen Qingyi, whose cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Sicheng, was no exception.

It was truly because they were too exhausted last night.

Chen An tucked the quilt in for them, then quickly got dressed and got out of bed to go to the room next door to check on his two young daughters.

The daughters had not woken up yet.

They were still fast asleep.

The eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, had a very demure sleeping posture, curled up on the bed wrapped in a thin quilt, looking very pleasing to the eye, except for the bit of drool leaking from the corner of her mouth, just like her flirtatious mother.

The second daughter, Chen Yike, had a "big" character sleeping posture, her limbs sprawled out carelessly on the bed, her round little belly rising and falling with her breathing, looking quite cute.

After sitting by the bed and admiring the sleeping postures of his two precious daughters for a while, Chen An quickly left the room and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Because the kitchen was relatively simple and there were no good ingredients, he focused on just being full, casually making some dried meat and Spirit Vegetable Porridge to finish it off.

Afterward, he found a place to sit down, checking the harvest from last night while waiting for his wives and daughters to wake up for breakfast.

【Wen Zhiyun affection +6】

【Shen Qingyi affection +2】

"Only +2 affection?"

"Even less than that ice-cold Yue?"

"Sigh, the affection of a swordswoman is as difficult to cultivate as ever."

"Conventional ways of getting along don't work well; I'll have to put more effort into punishing the wicked and eliminating evil."

"Troublesome."

Chen An shook his head and sighed.

Afterwards, with a thought, he opened Shen Qingyi's attribute panel to check it.

【Name: Shen Qingyi】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment 4th Layer】

【Attributes: Heroic and righteous, hates evil like an enemy】

【Affection: 1 star (28/100)】

"Only 28 points of affection; as expected, it can't be rushed."

Chen An smiled helplessly; although he felt a bit disappointed inside, he was not discouraged.

He believed that constant dripping wears away the stone, and an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

As time passed continuously.

The wives and daughters in the room woke up one after another.

Gu Xinyue got up the earliest; she used to get up early to make breakfast, she was used to it.

Coming to the kitchen now and seeing that Chen An had already made breakfast, she apologized immediately: "Husband, I'm sorry, I got up too late, it won't happen again."

"Sleeping late is just sleeping late, what is there to apologize for? Let alone sleeping until now, even if you slept until the sky turned dark, that would be fine too." Chen An smiled and flicked Gu Xinyue's delicate nose as he spoke.

"But..." Gu Xinyue felt that it was still a bit wrong for her to sleep so late.

Seeing Gu Xinyue put on such a servile, humble maid-like appearance, Chen An felt that perhaps he hadn't given her enough love in his daily life, and hadn't made her realize her own importance.

Thinking this, Chen An walked up to Gu Xinyue, stopped, and said: "Come, open your mouth, Husband will feed you porridge."

After coming out of the kitchen, the two of them served the porridge and placed it on the dining table in the hall.

Before long, the other three wives and concubines and the two daughters had all finished washing up and came over, and the family of seven ate breakfast happily together.

"By the way, Zhiyun, little Chen Yike has started teething, so you can't just rinse her mouth anymore, you have to brush her teeth."

Chen An suddenly remembered and said.

Wen Zhiyun, while lowering her head to feed Chen Yike in her arms, replied indifferently: "Mm, I will brush her teeth every morning and evening from now on."

After finishing, she looked up at Chen An, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Husband, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"It's just that... could you not call me 'Ying' anymore? It sounds a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm already forty years old now. Calling me 'Ying' feels a bit like I'm pretending to be young, and I don't like it."

Wen Zhiyun was a rather practical person, one could even say honest, and she didn't like such pet names that didn't fit her age.

Chen An smiled and said: "What does age have to do with it? My Zhiyun looks as tender as an eighteen-year-old girl, calling you 'Ying' isn't out of place at all."

After finishing, he looked toward Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue and asked: "Ying, Yue, is Husband right?"

"Husband is right." Song Huaying looked at Wen Zhiyun opposite her and said: "Sister Wen, your skin looks even more tender than mine, you aren't old at all."

Gu Xinyue also nodded and said: "What Ying said is true."

Although Wen Zhiyun was very happy to be praised by her husband and the two younger sisters, she still felt that the name "Ying" was not quite right and insisted:

"No, old is old. I'm forty years old, not a young girl like Ying or Yue. Husband, just call me Zhiyun from now on, like you call Sister Shen Qingyi."

"Alright then, I'll listen to Zhiyun."

Chen An didn't care about these things, and seeing Wen Zhiyun so insistent, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
