【Name: Gu Xinyue】

【Divine Sense intensity provided: 233】

The next day, early morning.

Chen An sat up from the bed, looking at the notification information appearing before his eyes, feeling quite incredulous in his heart.

Ever since he saw Wen Zhiyun yesterday morning, he had been like someone possessed, a difficult-to-suppress heat rising within him, forcing him to seek Gu Xinyue's help to release it.

And this release, by accident, lasted until the next day.

During this time, he hadn't eaten lunch, hadn't eaten dinner, and hadn't slept all night.

So... what exactly was the situation yesterday?

That Wen Zhiyun definitely had a problem!

Chen An's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, urgently wanting to figure out what exactly happened to him yesterday.

"Hus... Husband, are you finished?"

At this moment, a voice full of exhaustion came from the side.

Chen An followed the voice and looked over, seeing Gu Xinyue, whose willow brows were slightly furrowed and whose pretty face was full of discomfort.

She looked very haggard, the picture of someone who had been worn out.

Chen An felt heartbroken looking at her, hurriedly pulling his little concubine, this "ice shard," into his embrace, stroking her head continuously with his hand while whispering all sorts of sweet nothings into her ear.

He tried his best to make up for his mistake.

"Husband, are you hungry?"

"I'll get up and make breakfast."

Gu Xinyue said this and was about to get up from the bed.

Chen An didn't let her get up, continuing to hold her in his arms to soothe her: "You haven't slept all night, rest for a while first."

"Mm."

Gu Xinyue said softly.

Just like that, the two stopped talking, quietly embracing each other.

【You held your wife Gu Xinyue while sleeping, letting her drift off to sleep accompanied by the sound of your heartbeat; marital affection +1.】

Not long after, Gu Xinyue, whose body was exhausted, fell asleep.

Chen An looked at her slightly pale pretty face and couldn't help but gently kiss it.

Afterward, he lightly got dressed, climbed out of bed, and left the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Song Huaying with a large belly making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Husband, you were too much yesterday; Sister Gu will be worn out by you sooner or later."

Seeing her husband walk in, Song Huaying immediately said with a look of reproach.

Chen An hugged her from behind, pressing against her ear to explain: "Yesterday was a special situation; I suddenly couldn't suppress it."

"Husband, what happened?"

"Nothing."

Chen An hadn't even figured out what was going on himself, so he couldn't give his little wife any further explanation.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while.

Chen An intended to go practice alchemy, but was pulled back by his little wife just as he stood up.

"Husband, let me share the burden for Sister Gu."

"Your husband is a bit tired."

"It's fine, Husband, just lie down."

"..."

One incense stick of time later.

【You had an in-depth interaction with your wife Song Huaying, exploring different Great Daos of Immortality; marital affection +1.】

【Name: Song Huaying】

【Attributes: Repaying a Drop of Kindness with a Gushing Spring】

【Affection: 2 Stars (455/500)】

【Alchemy Experience provided: 437】

【Golden Finger Proficient level provided: 77】

"Husband, am I good?"

"Very good, very good."

"Husband's praise isn't sincere at all."

"Ying is truly amazing."

"That goes without saying, I've been reading, studying, and researching every day."

"Alright, the time is about right, your husband must go practice alchemy."

Chen An's waist ached a bit, but he still endured it, got up from the bed, and walked toward the Alchemy Room opposite.

This session of alchemy lasted for the entire morning.

The pill success rate is a bit low.

It is only two-thirds of the usual amount.

This is because the consumption yesterday was too great; my energy could not recover for a while, which affected the alchemy.

Chen An left the Alchemy Room and walked toward the courtyard outside.

He intended to look at the flowers and plants to relax his body and mind.

After eating lunch later, he would return to the Alchemy Room to continue refining pills.

"You bad seed with a head full of women, you finally decided to come out today?!"

As soon as Chen An stepped into the courtyard, a woman's voice full of resentment came from the neighbor's house.

Following the sound, he saw Wen Zhiyun sitting on a tree in her own courtyard, scolding him over the wall.

"Thump—"

Before Chen An could react, Wen Zhiyun leaped down from the tree in her courtyard and landed in Chen An's courtyard.

The moment she landed, her chest heaved violently.

Chen An wanted to look, but before he had the chance, he was interrupted by Wen Zhiyun's reprimand.

"I ask you, do you have any sense of propriety at all?"

"I already told you last time, you can do your business, but can you not do it all night long?"

"Are you not going to let people sleep!"

The more Wen Zhiyun spoke, the more resentful she became, and she even wanted to strike him at one point.

Chen An denied it: "But I did not do it all night long."

"You dare to do it but not admit it? Have some shame!"

"I did it all day long."

"..."

Wen Zhiyun lost her voice for a moment, rendered speechless.

But soon, she glared at Chen An: "Talking to you is truly exhausting; I am going to talk to your wives and concubines!"

After saying this, she did not care whether Chen An agreed or not and walked quickly into the house.

Chen An's cultivation was too low, so he could not stop her at all; he could only follow her inside to see what this menopausal beauty could stir up.

"Sister Wen?"

Seeing Wen Zhiyun enter, Song Huaying could not help but feel a bit surprised.

Wen Zhiyun glanced at her big belly, knowing she was not the culprit, and asked: "Sister Ying, do you know where Sister Yue is? I have something to discuss with her."

"This..."

Song Huaying looked at her husband, not daring to answer this question on her own authority.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue walked out of the room.

"Sister Wen, are you looking for me?"

"Sister Yue, come, come, come, I have something I need to talk to you about."

Wen Zhiyun grabbed Gu Xinyue's soft, warm hand and pulled her to the side to sit down.

Chen An did not make a sound, wanting to see what this beauty was going to say to his icy little concubine.

Soon, Wen Zhiyun began to speak.

She told Gu Xinyue that doing that kind of thing too much was bad for the body.

It was easy to age quickly, lose one's figure, and even shorten one's lifespan and lower one's cultivation.

She rattled on about all sorts of bad things.

She suggested that Gu Xinyue should do it at most once a month.

Not even one more time than that.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue listened with pale faces, truly intimidated by Wen Zhiyun.

Chen An saw this, and his face immediately turned black.

This menopausal beauty was clearly trying to ruin his Dao foundation!

Could this be tolerated?!

Without thinking, he stepped forward and interrupted her:

"Ying, Yue, don't listen to her nonsense; she has lived alone for too long and is just envious and jealous of you two."

Upon hearing this, Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue immediately reacted and regained their composure.

They did not know who was right between Chen An and Wen Zhiyun, but they trusted their husband unconditionally, and were willing to be deceived even if they were.

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun still wanted to spread her fallacies, Chen An took the initiative:

"Fellow Daoist Wen, what kind of twisted logic is this? Who told you that engaging in the joy of fish and water has so many harms? It is simply nonsense."

"Twisted logic? Hah!"

Wen Zhiyun sneered, then used herself as an example: "Back then, among the cultivators of my generation, none of those who found a Dao companion have been able to break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage until now."

"The only one who broke through to the Qi Refining Late Stage is me, who has remained chaste from birth until now."

After finishing, she used Chen An as an example, stabbing at his heart: "And you, why do you think your cultivation is still so low at your age? Isn't it because you are addicted to the land of gentleness every day?"

Wen Zhiyun spoke with reason and evidence, becoming more aggressive as she spoke, feeling that she had won a great victory.

However, at this moment, Chen An no longer cared about what she was saying.

All he could think about was this:

This menopausal beauty is actually not a widow?

But a maiden?

If he doesn't trick her into coming home, he's practically worse than a beast!
