Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At night, Chen An personally cooked.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue were helping.

Wen Zhiyun was teasing Chen Yuejian in the courtyard and playing with her happily.

About an hour later.

The food was ready.

Eight dishes and a soup.

There were also a few plates of appetizers.

In the hall.

Song Huaying looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and could not help but ask curiously,

“Husband, what day is it today? Why are you personally cooking so much delicious food?”

“There’s a happy occasion to celebrate.”

“What’s the good news?”

Song Huaying asked like a curious baby.

Chen An looked at Wen Zhiyun and smiled at her.

“Yun’er, you tell them.”

As soon as she said this, Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue looked at Wen Zhiyun.

The only exception was Chen Yuejian, who was sitting in Song Huaying’s arms. She was trying her best to stretch out her short arms to get the big drumstick in front of her.

Unfortunately, her arms were too short and she couldn’t reach it no matter what. She was so anxious that her small willow brows were knitted together.

“Sister Wen, what’s the good news?”

Seeing that Wen Zhiyun was still not saying anything, Song Huaying asked impatiently.

Wen Zhiyun reached out and brushed the black hair behind her ear. She smiled a little embarrassedly.

n

Um… I’m pregnant.”

“Pregnant?”

Song Huaying was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted and widened her big eyes. Her eyes were filled with surprise as she said, “Sister Wen, is this true!”

Wen Zhiyun took a sip of chicken soup and nodded with a hint of red. “Yes, really.”

Upon hearing this, Song Huaying was completely delighted.

She looked at Chen Yuejian in her arms, grabbed her two short hands, and shook them. She smiled and teased,

“Little Yuejian, your Mother Wen is pregnant now. Do you want a younger brother and a younger sister?”

“Chicken! Chicken drumstick! 1 want a drumstick!”

Chen Yuejian looked at her mother anxiously, asking her to help her get the drumstick.

When the people at the dining table heard this, they were instantly amused by her.

“Come, come, come. Mother Wen will give you a chicken drumstick.”

Wen Zhiyun picked up the drumstick and placed it in Chen Yuejian’s bowl with a smile. “When Mother Wen’s child is born in the future, as an elder sister, Little Yuejian, you have to take good care of your younger brother or sister.”

“Alright, take care of… younger siblings.”

Chen Yuejian still couldn’t speak smoothly. After saying that, she reached out to pick up the drumstick and ate it.

Unfortunately, her small mouth was too small and she did not have many teeth. It was very difficult to eat the drumstick, and her face was covered in oil.

Wen Zhiyun smiled and patted her head, her eyes filled with love.

At this moment.

The dining table was filled with joy.

Everyone had smiles on their faces.

However, Gu Xinyue looked like she was forcing a smile.

Under the dining table, she reached out and touched her flat stomach, feeling worried.

Even Wen Zhiyun, who joined the family a year later than her, was pregnant now.

However, her stomach did not move.

She felt very depressed about this.

Chen An acutely sensed her abnormality.

However, he did not say anything else.

They were still chatting and laughing as they ate.

After dinner.

The family of five took a walk in the courtyard.

When she felt that she had digested most of it, she began to busy herself with her own matters.

Wen Zhiyun returned to her room to cultivate.

Song Huaying brought her daughter back to the room to coax her to sleep.

Gu Xinyue entered the alchemy room to sort out the herbs and prepare for her husband’s alchemy work tomorrow.

“Yue’er, don’t sort them first. Come to the bathroom and take a bath with me.”

Chen An walked into the alchemy room and said to Gu Xinyue, who was seriously sorting the herbs inside.

Gu Xinyue was very obedient. She nodded and followed him to the bathroom.

Chen An had already boiled the water in advance.

Now that she was in the bathroom, he quickly took off his and Gu Xinyue’s clothes and sat in the wooden bucket that was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

“Yue’er, are you unhappy tonight?”

Chen An asked gently as he rubbed Gu Xinyue’s back.

In the past, it was always Gu Xinyue who rubbed his back.

However, today was a special situation. He had to comfort this icy concubine.

Gu Xinyue shook her head and said, “Husband, I’m not unhappy.”

“Liar.”

Chen An pulled Gu Xinyue into his arms and pressed his face against her ear. “My senses are comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. When 1 was eating dinner just now, I noticed Yue’er touching her stomach.”

At this point, it was useless for Gu Xinyue to hide it anymore.

She pursed her thin lips and said in a disappointed tone,

“Husband, Sister Wen joined the family a year later than me. She’s already pregnant, but my stomach hasn’t moved. My body doesn’t seem to be fertile…”

“Don’t worry, your turn will come.”

Chen An kissed Gu Xinyue and comforted her.

He suspected that Gu Xinyue might be infertile, but he didn’t say it.

Perhaps there would be a way to treat her in the future. There was no need to tell her now and add to her troubles.

Gu Xinyue’s disappointment did not diminish. She said in a depressed voice, “Husband, if 1 really can’t get pregnant, will you still want me?”

“Why not?”

“Because I can’t bear my husband’s child…”

“I like Yue’er herself. Whether it’s Yue’er who can give birth or Yue’er who can’t, I’ll always like her.”

“But… but I want children.”

As Gu Xinyue spoke, she couldn’t help but cry. Bean-sized tears slid down her face and dripped onto the water surface, splashing elegantly.

Back then, when Song Huaying gave birth to a daughter, she was happy and looking forward to it.

She was happy for Song Huaying.

She was looking forward to a future child of her own.

And now, even Wen Zhiyun was pregnant, but there was no movement in her stomach.

She wanted to be happy for Wen Zhiyun, but she really couldn’t be happy no matter what. She felt very uncomfortable.

Looking at Gu Xinyue, who was crying in his arms, Chen An did not know how to comfort her. He could only do his best to see if he could get her pregnant.

In the blink of an eye.

Almost half a month had passed.

On this day.

Chen An sat in the alchemy room and cultivated. He skillfully circulated the Qi Refinement Technique and absorbed the spiritual qi contained in the air into his body, refining it into spiritual qi in extreme detail.

More than two hours later.

A heavy breath sounded.

Chen An slowly opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile.

He had finally broken through.

Within half a month, with his own hard work, he broke through from the perfected seventh level of Qi Refining to the eighth level.

He was only one step away from becoming a ninth level Qi Refining expert.

“If 1 already am at the eighth level of Qi Refining, how far can the ninth level of Qi Refining be?”

“My current cultivation speed is at least ten times faster than before.”

“In addition, Yun’er is pregnant. In the future, when the child is born and learns to walk and speak, I can also obtain various system rewards to increase my cultivation.”

“At that time, not to mention the ninth level of Qi Refining, even breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm will probably be an easy matter.”

“I’ll set a new goal. I’ll break through to Foundation Establishment realm in two years.”

Chen An looked at the sunny sky outside the window and felt indescribably satisfied.

Soon, he collected his thoughts and began to refine pills.

This morning, he spent the entire morning in his room with his wife, working hard to increase his alchemy experience.

In the afternoon, he specially spent more than two hours cultivating to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

As a result, he had yet to refine a furnace of medicinal pills.

He had to start working quickly.

Otherwise, he would not be able to hand over the goods to the Bamboo Leaf Gang tomorrow.

In the process of refining pills.

Chen An was pleasantly surprised to discover that refining pills now yielded twice the results with half the effort.

In the same period of time, be it quality or quantity, they had increased by nearly 30%.

He knew.

This was because after his Fire-type Spiritual Root leveled up, his control over the fire became stronger.

In this way, the burden of refining pills every day would be greatly reduced in the future.

The next morning.

Chen An woke up in his wife’s room.

He wiped the saliva from the corners of the mother and daughter’s mouths.

She covered herself with a blanket.

Soon, he left the room.

He went out to deliver medicinal pills to the Bamboo Leaf Gang’s logistics. contemporary romance

Along the way.

Chen An saw many widows begging to be taken in.

In the past half a month, many residents in Green Willow Alley could not hold on anymore.

They reached the end of their savings, and had no money to pay the rent.

And so.

Some people chose to escape in the night, but they were caught by the Bamboo Leaf Gang and executed on the spot.

Some people chose to be mercenaries, but they died tragically under the experts of the Black Iron Manor as soon as they entered the battlefield.

As a result, many widows with low Cultivation were left in Green Willow Alley.

These widows were all low-level female Cultivators who had been kept by male late-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators in Green Willow Alley.

As long as she was in charge of pleasing these male Cultivators every day and carrying on their family line, she would be able to obtain protection and a certain amount of cultivation resources.

As these late-stage Qi Refinement male Cultivators died one after another, the entire Green Willow Alley was filled with widows.

Many single male Cultivators who could not get a wife in the past were taking this opportunity to take in widows everywhere and get a wife for themselves.

Some good-looking widows and even the Cultivators of the Bamboo Leaf Gang were attracted to take them in.

Some good-looking widows specially targeted support professions with cultivation status, such as Alchemists, Armament Masters, Talisman Craftsmen, Array Formation Masters, and so on.

They often created opportunities to hang around in front of them, show off her unique wifely charm, and seduce them to take her in.

As an Alchemist, every time Chen An went out, at least three or four widows would try their luck on him.

Fortunately, his will is firm and he did not fall for it.

Soon.

Chen An came to the logistics office of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

He didn’t stay there to chat.

After handing in the medicinal pills, he left.

On the way home.

Chen An bumped into a young and beautiful widow who lived not far from his house.

The widow was holding the hand of a three-year-old boy. When she saw Chen An return with a first aid kit, she immediately walked up to him and stopped. She asked shyly,

“Alchemist Chen, um… may I ask if you have any thoughts of talcing another concubine?”
