Chapter 15: 14. The Wedding Night

14. The Wedding Night

Chen An led Gu Xinyue into the house.

Seeing this, Song Huaying inside immediately and sensibly came up to help take the luggage.

Soon, the three of them walked into the only room in the house.

The room was not large, but the bed was huge.

This was a large bed Chen An had specifically gone to the Market to buy a few days ago, large enough to accommodate five adults lying together and rolling around freely without restraint.

Seeing this large bed, Gu Xinyue could not help but feel a little nervous.

Having lived for twenty years, apart from her father who had just passed away, she had never lived under the same roof with another man.

And tonight, she, who had been single since birth, was to share a bed with a man.

It was hard for her not to feel nervous.

"Yue, this is our room from now on. You can use everything inside as you please; there is no need to be reserved."

After putting down Gu Xinyue's luggage, Chen An said to her with a smile.

Song Huaying, standing to the side, chimed in as well, taking her arm with great familiarity and smiling sweetly: "That's right, Sister Gu. From now on, the three of us are a family."

Unknowingly, the way the husband and wife addressed Gu Xinyue had changed, becoming much more intimate than before.

Gu Xinyue felt a bit at a loss for how to handle this, and in the end, could only respond with a flat "Mm."

Seeing that his soon-to-be concubine had such a cold temperament, Chen An could not help but look forward to the bridal chamber night with her tonight.

He wanted to see what kind of reaction such a cold beauty would have when they engaged in the joy of fish and water.

In the time that followed.

Chen An let Gu Xinyue walk around the house on her own to familiarize herself with the environment.

Meanwhile, he and Song Huaying were busy decorating the wedding room.

It took about an hour or so.

The wedding room was decorated.

Looking at this festive wedding room, Song Huaying could not help but feel a bit of heartache.

When she first married into the family, there wasn't even a red bridal veil; she had just gone through the motions symbolically before her husband carried her to the bed and took her body.

Now, comparing the two, she could not help but feel a bit unbalanced.

Chen An keenly sensed this, immediately picked up the red bridal veil from the side, gently placed it on Song Huaying's head, and said with eyes full of tenderness:

"Ying, let us get married once more; the previous one doesn't count."

"Husband..."

Song Huaying's eyes filled with tears.

One stick of incense later.

【You carefully and gently engaged in deep interaction with your wife Song Huaying, making efforts to spread your branches and leaves, Alchemy Experience +2, Affection +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...】

"Husband, let us get married once more."

Chen An was just about to get up when he was pulled back by Song Huaying.

He felt a bit helpless about this, but could only respectfully comply.

Another stick of incense later.

【You carefully and gently engaged in deep interaction with your wife Song Huaying, making efforts to spread your branches and leaves, Alchemy Experience +2, Affection +1+3+1+4+5+2+0...】

After being intimate twice in a row, the two of them left the wedding room feeling satisfied.

Chen An went to prepare lunch.

Song Huaying went to chat with Gu Xinyue.

On a round wooden bench in the backyard.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue sat together.

Gu Xinyue rarely initiated conversation, basically being led by Song Huaying, her nature appearing somewhat withdrawn.

Fortunately, Song Huaying did not mind, nor did she think the other party was looking down on her, a mortal.

She told Gu Xinyue basically everything.

Among these, what she talked about most was Chen An's heroic performance in his daily life.

Hearing this, Gu Xinyue blushed from her cheeks to her earlobes, while simultaneously feeling both shocked and afraid, unable to imagine how she would be treated tonight.

Alchemist Chen... no, her own husband was so vigorous every day; how on earth did Sister Ying, a mere mortal, manage to cope?

Sensing the unease on Gu Xinyue's face, Song Huaying also repeatedly reassured her, saying that her husband was very gentle and that she need not worry.

In the blink of an eye.

The sky gradually began to darken.

"Husband, I am going to the wedding room now to groom and dress Sister Gu, so that you can have a bride as beautiful as a celestial being tonight."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ying."

"It is no hardship, as long as Husband does not forget Ying's goodness."

After saying this, Song Huaying stood slightly on tiptoe, kissed Chen An on the cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then headed to the wedding room with a sweet smile.

Watching the virtuous figure of his little wife as she walked away, Chen An felt an increasing fondness for her.

Such a good little wife must not be allowed to grow old and turn into a pile of yellow earth after a hundred years.

He must make her immortal, to live as long as heaven and earth.

Hmm, let's set a small goal first: get a Youth Preserving Pill for his little wife within ten years.

Chen An thought to himself secretly.

……

Half an hour later.

Song Huaying came out of the bridal chamber, walked up to Chen An with her large belly, and teased him with a face full of smiles:

"Bridegroom, the bride is already waiting in the bridal chamber for you to favor her; why don't you hurry in and find her?"

"Ying, it will be hard on you to make do in the woodshed tonight; I will certainly compensate you well later."

"How is it hard? That woodshed is kept so clean, and it even has high-quality bedding laid out; it's not even any worse than the bridal chamber."

"Ying, you are truly good."

"Alright, alright, hurry in; don't keep the bride waiting anxiously."

Song Huaying urged him with a huffy expression.

Chen An gently cupped her small face, lowered his head to kiss her lovingly, and only then changed into his bridegroom's attire to walk toward the bridal chamber.

"Creak—"

The door to the bridal chamber was pushed open gently, and a figure with the bearing of an immortal walked in slowly.

Hearing the sound, Gu Xinyue, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't help but tremble; she immediately gripped her hem tightly with both hands, her palms sweating slightly from nervousness.

"Yue, your husband has arrived."

"Mm..."

Gu Xinyue was so nervous that her voice even trembled.

She sat there, restless.

"Yue, let us perform the wedding ceremony together."

"Mm..."

"Save the 'mm' for later; now you must call me Husband."

"Hus... Husband~"

Her voice became increasingly shaky.

Chen An smiled and led her through the wedding process simply.

A moment after drinking the nuptial wine, Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue's flushed, beautiful face, couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, and said in a gentle voice: "Yue, you are truly beautiful."

Gu Xinyue turned her face slightly to the side, pursed her thin lips, and said nothing.

Chen An stroked her snow-white hair, gazed into her crimson pupils, and could no longer resist lowering his head to kiss her.

Two sticks of incense later.

【You have engaged in deep communication with your wife Gu Xinyue, making efforts to spread your branches and scatter your leaves; Divine Sense strength +1.】

Hm?

Not Alchemy Experience?

Chen An was stunned.

Before he could react, the Spirit Power within his body suddenly surged forth like a volcanic eruption, rushing from the soles of his feet to his heart, and heading straight for his crown.

The next second, his personal panel popped out.

【Name: Chen An】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining Fourth Layer】

【Alchemy: First-tier Intermediate (396/500)】

【Divine Sense: First-tier Primary (1/100)】

【Golden Finger: Entry (77/100)】

【Spouse: Song Huaying, Gu Xinyue】

【Offspring: Gestating】

Chen An scanned the panel quickly and was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation had actually broken through.

He had broken through from the Qi Refining Third Layer to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

He had become a Qi Refining Mid-Stage cultivator!

"That's right, I was already at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Third Layer before; it was just that my Divine Sense strength couldn't keep up, which made it difficult to break through the realm."

"But now, as long as I engage in the joy of fish and water with my concubine, I can improve my Divine Sense; future breakthroughs in my realm will surely be twice as effective with half the effort!"

Thinking of this, Chen An could no longer suppress his excitement; he immediately had Gu Xinyue, who was lying on her side with her back to him, turn around so they could face each other and share his joy.

【You have engaged in deep communication with your wife Gu Xinyue, making efforts to spread your branches and scatter your leaves; Divine Sense strength +1.】

【Wife: Gu Xinyue】

【Attributes: Pure and unsullied, loyal and steadfast】

【Affection: 1 Star】

【Divine Sense strength provided: 2】

【Note: The higher the level of marital affection, the higher the benefits that can be obtained.】
