【Name: Shen Qingyi】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level 5】

【Attributes: Gallant and righteous, hates evil as one hates an enemy】

【Affection: 3 Stars · 46%】

Chen An first glanced at the four characters "Foundation Establishment Level 5" on the attribute panel, then looked down at Shen Qingyi, whose pretty face was still slightly flushed in his arms, and asked:

"You broke through?"

"Mm, I broke through in the early hours of this morning; it just so happened that you were out at that time."

Shen Qingyi said softly.

Chen An: "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Otherwise, we could have celebrated during dinner."

Shen Qingyi shook her head and said: "There's nothing to celebrate. Husband, you broke through to the Golden Core Stage without a sound; compared to you, my breakthrough after nearly five years of cultivation is simply not worth mentioning."

"What, feeling inferior in front of me?"

Chen An poked Shen Qingyi's cheek and teased her with a smile.

Shen Qingyi was silent for a moment, then sat up from Chen An's arms, looked him in the eye with a serious expression, and said:

"Husband, I have something I would like to ask of you."

"What is it?"

Seeing Shen Qingyi suddenly become so serious, Chen An couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and said: "Husband, I have seen your speed of breakthrough over this past year and more."

"Although I don't know how you managed it, your speed of breakthrough is the fastest I have ever seen, and it is unprecedentedly fast."

"Husband, if you successfully break through to the Spirit Severing Stage in the future and can easily annihilate the Xuanhuang Sect, can you help me take revenge and kill my master?"

As she said this, Shen Qingyi's eyes were filled with pleading.

Chen An didn't even think about it and said: "Alright."

After saying this, he helped Shen Qingyi tidy up her slightly messy hair while saying in a gentle voice: "Tell me, do you have that much confidence in me?"

"The Spirit Severing Stage is a legendary realm; whether in the Great Thousand Domain or the Mountain Sea Domain, there has never been a great cultivator of this realm."

"I believe you can do it, Husband." Shen Qingyi looked into Chen An's eyes and said earnestly: "Because, Husband, even those legendary great cultivators cannot compare to your current speed of breakthrough."

"Qingyi, I am thinking of a question."

"What question?"

"You say, could it be that my ability in that regard is also something those legendary great cultivators cannot compare to?" Chen An suddenly said with an improper look.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi's face turned slightly red.

"Alright, I won't disturb your cultivation; I'm going to Yue's place to give her the Demon Cores from the Storage Bag."

After Chen An finished speaking, he kissed Shen Qingyi on her messy-haired face, quickly put on his clothes, got off the bed, and left, walking toward Gu Xinyue's room across the way.

Shen Qingyi watched his retreating back, unable to help but smile bitterly in her heart.

Is he really just going to deliver Demon Cores to Yue?

I'm afraid he's going to toss Yue around again.

On the other side.

Chen An walked into Gu Xinyue's room and saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating.

"Husband."

Gu Xinyue slowly opened her beautiful eyes, two shallow dimples appearing on her face, her smile looking exceptionally sweet.

It was the first time Chen An had seen his icy little concubine show such a sweet smile, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yue, aren't you a cold and aloof fairy? Why are you smiling so sweetly?"

"Ying taught me this, saying that you like such sweet smiles, Husband."

As Gu Xinyue spoke, she put on her shoes and got off the bed, very virtuously coming to the table to pour tea for Chen An and pulling out a chair for him to sit and drink.

Chen An walked over, sat down, and took a sip of the clear, sweet spirit tea.

Afterward, he put down the teacup, pulled the Gu Xinyue beside him onto his lap, and said with a smile: "Yue, everyone has their own characteristics."

"Ying's characteristic is sweetness, so I like her sweet smile."

"And your characteristic is that cold, aloof, and taciturn nature, and I also like this style of yours very much; you don't need to change yourself to cater to my preferences."

After hearing these words from Chen An, Gu Xinyue nodded and said: "Mm, I understand, Husband."

Chen An finished the spirit tea in his cup, picked up Gu Xinyue, and went to the bedside. With a thought, he took off the pair of light blue embroidered shoes on her feet and gently placed her on the bed.

Gu Xinyue was very sensible; she immediately untied the skirt ribbon at her waist, intending to take off the long dress she was wearing.

Chen An teased her: "Yue, are you so impatient?"

"I..." Gu Xinyue's pretty face turned red instantly after being told this, feeling very embarrassed and also a little aggrieved.

She wasn't impatient at all; she was just trying to please her husband.

Suddenly being told this by her husband, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Chen An hugged her slender waist and smiled: "Silly Yue, I was just joking with you. I know you are only acting so impatient to cater to me."

As he spoke, he took off his own shoes, put his legs on the bed, and took out the earth-attribute Demon Cores he had collected during the day from his Storage Bag, placing them one by one in front of Gu Xinyue.

"Husband, what are these Demon Cores?"

Gu Xinyue looked at them, somewhat confused.

Chen An picked up one of the Demon Cores and placed it in her hand, saying to her: "These are earth-attribute Demon Cores, which can be used to nourish your Earth Spirit Root."

"Are these all for me?"

"Mm, they are all for you."

"That's too many."

Gu Xinyue felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.

In the time that followed, Chen An taught Gu Xinyue how to use these Demon Cores.

The method of use was very simple, and Gu Xinyue learned it in an instant.

Afterward, she began to use them.

The effect of using them was unexpectedly good.

Gu Xinyue could clearly feel that the Earth Spirit Root within her body had become much sturdier.

However, it was not entirely because the nourishing effect of the Demon Cores was too good.

It was also because Gu Xinyue's own Spirit Root aptitude was too poor.

"Husband, this feeling of my Spirit Root aptitude improving is so good; I want to absorb one more."

Gu Xinyue really liked this sense of cultivation progress from attribute improvement, and she picked up a Demon Core from the bed and said to Chen An.

Absorbing one Demon Core took at least a quarter of an hour, but Chen An could not wait any longer; while undressing Gu Xinyue, he said impatiently:

"Demon Cores can be absorbed at any time, but a night with such a good atmosphere as this must be put to good use; not a single moment can be wasted."

"Mm, I will listen to you, Husband."

Watching Chen An's impatient appearance, Gu Xinyue felt both helpless and gratified.

What made her feel helpless was that Chen An was too impatient.

What made her feel gratified was that Chen An was still as infatuated with her body as ever.

In the room next door.

Wen Zhiyun was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, and hearing the commotion coming from Gu Xinyue's room, she could not help but hum, "Spending all day wallowing with your wives and concubines, do you even let people sleep?"

And in the room opposite her, Song Huaying also heard the commotion coming from Gu Xinyue's room, but she did not hum and haw like her; instead, she spoke less and did more, preferring action over words.

The reason this awkward situation occurred was because they had just moved into a new home today, and Chen An had forgotten to set up a Soundproofing Array for each room.

In the blink of an eye.

Time arrived at the next day.

The sky was still somewhat dim.

Chen An sat up from the bed, and with a thought, he opened his long-unused personal panel to check his attributes.

"My Fire Spirit Root and Gold Spirit Root have reached Saint Grade."

"The marital affection level with my little wives is not far from 5 stars."

"Little Yike's father-daughter affection is about to break through to 3 stars; I wonder what kind of system rewards there will be then."

Chen An looked at the data on the panel, his face full of anticipation.

As he looked, he thought of that fox demon in the cave, and he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

He did not know if that cave could truly trap her.

No, he had to go and take a look.

Thinking this, Chen An took out paper and a brush to leave a note for his wives and concubines saying he was going out for a trip, and then he left the underground passage and used Sword Flight to head toward the cave.
