Chapter 80: Reward for 5 Stars of Relationship Level (1/3)

The next morning, Chen An slowly woke up from Gu Xinyue’s room.
He had worked till very late last night and had only slept for less than two hours when he woke up.
However, he felt surprisingly energetic.
“Is this a Foundation Establishment expert physique?”
Chen An carefully sensed his current mental state. He felt that his body seemed to have evolved to another level and was no longer human.
The Foundation Establishment was already so powerful. He did not know how terrifying the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms above were.
It seemed that after reaching the Golden Core realm, he could completely abstain from eating.
What about sleep then? What cultivation could allow one to never need sleep?
He only needed to close his eyes and rest?
At this moment, Chen An was filled with curiosity about cultivation again. It was as if he had returned to the time when he had just transmigrated.
And this curiosity was brought about by the system.
More specifically, they were all brought here by his wife and daughter.
Without a wife and daughter, he might remain at the third level of Qi Refining for the rest of his life if his cultivation talent was extremely poor.
“I wonder how lucky 1 was in my previous life to marry such a good-looking wife.”
Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue, who was sleeping soundly at the side. He carefully sized up her exquisite and flawless face and then looked down at her exposed shoulders. She looked pure and lustful, a stark contrast to her usual coldness, adding a lot of charm.
He lifted a few strands of her hair and placed them in his hand. They looked like spring snow landing on his palm. They were pure white without a trace of filth.
“It’s beautiful.”
Chen An lowered his head to admire Gu Xinyue’s face and couldn’t help but praise her.
Then, with a thought, he pulled out the notification information from last night and checked the attributes of his divine consciousness.
[Divine Consciousness Strength +3] X77
[Consciousness: Advanced Level 1 (2488/2500)]
“I’m still 12 experience points short.”
Chen An was slightly excited. He wanted to break through his divine consciousness now.
However, when he looked at Gu Xinyue, who was so tired that she was sleeping soundly beside him, he hesitated for a moment and decided not to disturb her. He would talk about it when she woke up.
He covered Gu Xinyue with a blanket.
He put on his clothes and got out of bed, pushed the door open and washed up briefly.
Chen An quickly finished up and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Since Gu Xinyue couldn’t get up, this mission could only fall on him.
“Sha… sha… sha!”
The sound of feet stepping on dead branches and leaves came from outside the kitchen.
When Chen An heard this, he knew that Wen Zhiyun was here.
He was now extremely familiar with the three wives in his family, whether it was their hobbies, habits, weight, or anything else. He could distinguish each of them just by the sound of their footsteps. There was no need to use his divine consciousness at all.
“Yue’er couldn’t get up?”
Wen Zhiyun walked into the kitchen and looked at Chen An, who was busy living inside. She couldn’t help but ask.
She’d heard movement in the next room last night. The sound was clear and it lasted a long time.
Chen An said as he fried the fried dough sticks, “Yes, she slept too late last night. Let her sleep a little longer.”
“You work us so late every night. Don’t you know how to take pity on your wives?”
Wen Zhiyun condemned it with a dissatisfied expression.
Chen An said disapprovingly, “You’re not a fish. How can you know the joy of a fish?”
I’m tired of talking to you.”
Wen Zhiyun habitually rolled her eyes and said angrily.
However, just as she finished speaking, she said, “Didn’t you say yesterday that my physique is special? But I thought about it for a long time last night and realized that before I married into the family, you had already started to advance at lightning speed. You said that my physique is special, but why do I feel that your physique is special?”
“Practice is the only standard to test the truth. Anyway, you’ll be in the second trimester in a month’s time. Why not come to the test and find out then?”
“Why do you have to ask me to look for you? You should be the one looking for me!”
Wen Zhiyun’s eyebrows were filled with arrogance. After saying that, she continued, “Oh, right, you don’t have to make my share of soy milk and fried dough sticks today. I eat them every day. I’m tired of them.”
After breakfast, he accompanied his wife and daughter for a while.
Chen An quickly set off for the Treasure Hall to refine the remaining 50 Spirit Concentration Pills.
In the Marketplace, Treasure Hall.
As soon as Chen An entered, he saw Shen Qingyi and Pan Hui sitting in a corner eating breakfast.
The relationship between the two women seemed to be getting better and better day by day. They were like sisters.
In fact, it was understandable. After all, Shen Qingyi had come to such an unfamiliar place alone. If a female Cultivator was suddenly willing to curry favor with her, their relationship would naturally be good.
Chen An exchanged a few words with Shopkeeper Liu and quickly brought a photographic stone to the alchemy room to start refining.
When he passed by Shen Qingyi and Pan Hui, they did not invite him over to sit down and eat as usual. They only greeted him briefly.
Chen An smiled back at them and walked into the alchemy room without saying anything.
This estrangement in their relationship was exactly what he wanted.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed.
Chen An came out of the alchemy room with 50 freshly baked Spirit Concentration Pills. He walked to the counter and handed them to Shopkeeper Liu.
Then, he chatted with Shopkeeper Liu for a while and left the Treasure Shop not long after.
After returning home, he immediately began to work overtime to refine medicinal pills and send them to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.
By the time all the missions today were completed, it was already night.
After dinner, he rested for a while.
Chen An handed his daughter to Wen Zhiyun and happily went to the bathroom with his wife to take a bath.
According to the order they had decided on previously, he was supposed to spend the night at Wen Zhiyun’s place.
However, Wen Zhiyun couldn’t sleep with him now, so he could only skip her and have the other two take turns instead.
In the bathroom, Chen An sat in a wooden bucket filled with hot water and looked at Song Huaying, who was so tired that she was panting non-stop.
He smiled and teased her, “It seems that Ying’er’s three cultivation techniques were cultivated well. She broke the record today.”
“That… Of course. 1 cultivate so hard in my room every day. If I don’t make any progress, I’ll faint from crying on the bed.”
Song Huaying was already trying her best to adjust her breathing, but her words still did not sound smooth. She had really exhausted too much energy just now.
Chen An gently tidied the bangs on Song Huaying’s forehead and separated the strands of hair that were stuck together to the sides to reveal her rosy and alluring little face.
Then, with a thought, he checked the notification that had just popped up.
[Alchemy Experience +3] X37
[Alchemy Technique: Beginner Level 2 (3,229/12,500)]
At this moment, his wife, Song Huaying, suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, husband, 1 can already do the splits like you taught me the last time.”
“Already?”
“Hmph, actually, I’m very talented.”
“Ying’er, quickly make it for me to see.”
“Then husband, you have to watch carefully. I’ll let you see how powerful Ying’er is.”
After saying that, Song Huaying stood up and left the wooden barrel, showing Chen An the results of her hard work over the past few days.
She just wanted to show it, but Chen An wanted to experience it wholeheartedly.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn.
[Alchemy Experience+3]
The two of them soaked in the wooden bucket for a while longer. When they felt that the temperature of the water had almost dropped, they got up to put on their clothes.
“Ying’er, I find that you’ve become even more beautiful and moving. In the past, you only looked youthful. Now, when you combine youthfulness and charm, you look even more attractive.”
Chen An carefully sized up Song Huaying’s small face and figure. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He was almost infatuated.
Song Huaying felt very happy when she heard his words, but this happiness only lasted for a moment. Soon, it became a little sad. “Husband, I only have more than ten years of my youth left to make you infatuated. Can you buy more photographic stones in the future? I want to preserve my youth and beauty.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Ying’er will definitely be able to retain her youth forever.”
Chen An gently pulled Song Huaying into his arms and stroked her head. “If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to join the Treasure Pavilion soon. When the time comes, I will think of a way to get you the Beauty Pill. If there’s only one, I will definitely leave it for you.”
“Husband…”
Song Huaying was touched from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes became misty, looking exceptionally pitiful.
[You promised that if you could only find one Beauty Pill in the future, you would definitely give it to your wife, Song Huaying, to let her feel her absolute status in your heart. Relationship+1+3+1+4+5+2+0…]
[Name: Song Huaying]
[Attribute: Return the favor of a drop of water.]
[Relationship: 4 stars (2,520/12,500)]
[Remarks: After the husband and wife’s Relationship level increases to 5 stars, they can obtain a bond—’Enjoy Blessings Together’. They can also obtain a special system reward.]
Chen An had only glanced at the notifications briefly, but when he saw the note at the bottom, he could not help but be stunned.
‘Linkage—to share blessings with each other? What is all this?’
Did that mean that as long as his Relationship level increased to 5 stars, his wives would be able to benefit from their daily lives like him?
