Chapter 153: 147. One-Punch Man (2/2)

147. One-Punch Man (2/2)

Red Cedar Forest, Baicao Lane.

Just as Chen An finished Sword Flight and arrived above the entrance to his own secret tunnel, he heard a series of overlapping sounds coming from within.

It was the sound of his eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, playing the zither, and his second daughter, Chen Yike, practicing her punches.

"My daughters are truly diligent..."

Listening to the noises made by his two daughters, a gratified smile could not help but appear on Chen An's face.

The frustration he had just felt from the fox demon's Severing Tail to Escape instantly vanished into thin air.

He descended via Sword Flight.

He walked into the tunnel.

He arrived in the main hall.

Chen An saw his four wives and concubines all sitting around the dining table in the hall, each of them wearing a look of worry on her face.

Clearly, they were all worried because their husband had returned so late.

"Husband, why are you back so late again!"

"And why do you never reply to the voice transmissions we send you!"

Seeing that Chen An had finally returned, Wen Zhiyun immediately stood up and coldly questioned him.

After hearing this, Chen An showed an apologetic expression and said, "Not replying to your transmissions is indeed my fault; I often forget about it once I get busy."

"However, there is a reason for this. On my way back from the Market, I ran into that troublesome fox demon again."

What?!

Ran into that fox demon again?

The expressions of the wives and concubines changed one after another; they felt very surprised, along with a trace of worry and lingering fear.

"Husband, what is going on? How is it that you run into that fox demon every time you go out?"

Song Huaying's face was full of confusion, and after finishing, she added, "The Red Cedar Forest is clearly so large, yet you run into that fox demon every time. This is just too unreasonable."

Shen Qingyi, who was to the side, thought for a moment and voiced her own speculation: "Husband, could it be that the fox demon has placed a Divine Sense mark on you?"

Her husband had been marked?

Hearing this, Gu Xinyue immediately felt terrible, deeply worried for her husband.

However, the next moment, Chen An's words made her heave a sigh of relief.

Chen An said, "That is unlikely. Although my current cultivation is only at the Golden Core First Layer, my Divine Sense strength is not the least bit weaker than a cultivator at the Golden Core Ninth Layer."

"And based on my encounters with that fox demon, I estimate her cultivation is only around the Golden Core Seventh Layer."

"Aside from her mental power being stronger than mine, her physical body and Divine Sense are both weaker than mine. It is impossible for her to plant a Divine Sense mark on me without me noticing."

"Besides, if she had really planted a Divine Sense mark on me, she would have likely tracked it to our home long ago. Why would she still need to search for me everywhere?"

Chen An's words were logical and well-founded.

After hearing this, Shen Qingyi nodded: "That is true. Husband is right; I was the one who failed to consider it properly."

"Husband, does that fox demon still pose a threat to you now?" Gu Xinyue asked with a worried face.

"There shouldn't be any threat anymore." To put his wives and concubines at ease, Chen An spoke with deliberate confidence: "Right now, that fox demon is like a cockroach that is hard to kill when she is in front of me. She might be able to escape from my hands, but she absolutely cannot harm me in the slightest."

Hearing him say this, the four wives and concubines felt much more at ease.

Song Huaying moved to his side and sat close to him, intimately hooking her arm around his, her small, rosy mouth as sweet as honey: "Husband is truly amazing. I feel that in less than two years, you will definitely be able to reach the Nascent Soul realm."

"You are just being a smooth talker." Chen An pinched his little wife's cherry lips and smiled.

Song Huaying's beautiful eyes curved into a sweet smile: "My tongue isn't smooth at all; it's Husband's tongue that is smooth. It can wiggle flexibly like an earthworm and likes to drill around."

The other three wives and concubines blushed the moment they heard this.

Among them, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Song Huaying, looking annoyed as she said, "You really are something. You don't learn the good things but learn the bad ones instead. You've been spoiled by Husband; there isn't a single serious word in your mouth."

At this moment, a sound of "da-da-da" running footsteps came from the corridor ahead.

It was Chen Yike rushing out from her room.

Looking like a reckless dump truck, she crashed directly into her father's thigh with a "thud."

Then, she proficiently opened her arms to hug her father's leg, raised her little face, and shouted loudly:

"Daddy, I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

The voice was very loud, making everyone present feel their ears buzzing.

Wen Zhiyun pulled Chen Yike over in one motion, glared at her, and scolded: "You little brat, if you want to say something, just say it! Why are you yelling so loudly!"

"Mommy, I want to play on the seesaw!!!"

As if she couldn't understand human speech, Chen Yike opened her mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs again.

Wen Zhiyun was stunned; she suddenly felt that it would have been better if her silly daughter hadn't learned to speak, so as to avoid her yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs all day long like this, which was deafening.

Soon, Chen Yike got her wish and played on the seesaw.

【You accompanied your daughter Chen Yike to play on the seesaw; father-daughter affection +1.】

On the other side, Shen Qingyi had been very curious about how her husband dealt with the fox demon, and as she thought about it, she asked:

"Husband, I want to know how you dealt with that fox demon's Charm Technique?"

Once these words were spoken, the gazes of the other three wives and concubines all fell upon Chen An.

In truth, they were all quite curious about this matter as well.

Chen An never treated his wives and concubines as outsiders, so since they asked, he told them everything.

However, he held back somewhat, only giving them a general idea.

He did not describe in great detail the Dharma Spells and secret arts rewarded by the system, such as the Sage's Art, Intentional Bombing Fist, Evil Dragon Roar, and so on.

It wasn't that he was guarding against his own wives and concubines, but simply that he felt if they knew too much, there would be a risk of his trump cards being leaked.

After all, this is the world of immortal cultivation, where all sorts of secret arts exist.

For example, searching memories, hypnotic interrogation, and so on.

He worried that if his wives and concubines knew about these trump cards of his, they might eventually become his weaknesses, or rather, breakthroughs for others to target him.

In the blink of an eye.

Time had arrived at night.

After the family of seven finished dinner and sat chatting for a while, they soon went off to attend to their own business.

This night, Chen An did not rush to find his wives and concubines for intimacy as he usually did.

Instead, he holed himself up alone in the Alchemy Room to study the refining of Third-tier Pills.

He was preparing for the Alchemy Hall test of the Heaven and Earth Sect half a year later.

His wives and concubines all knew this, so they very sensibly did not go to disturb him, trying their best to handle their needs themselves and not be troublesome women.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

While Chen An was refining pills, a series of dull punching sounds kept coming from the room next door.

This was the sound of his second daughter, Chen Yike, practicing her punches.

Because next to the Alchemy Room was the room of Wen Zhiyun.

Wen Zhiyun is a cultivator with a Fire Spirit Root and her body is relatively heat-resistant, so the Alchemy Room was built next to her room.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang!"

"This little girl is truly diligent."

Listening to the continuous punching sounds, Chen An couldn't help but praise his second daughter in his heart.

Just at this moment!

A "boom" suddenly came from in front!

Then, the wall separating Wen Zhiyun's room and the Alchemy Room collapsed!

Daughter: "!!!"

Father: "???"

The silly second daughter stood in her mother's room, staring wide-eyed at her bewildered father sitting in the Alchemy Room through the wall she had just punched down.
