Chapter 37: Assist
When Chen An returned home, the sky was already completely dark.
At this moment, Gu Xinyue was cooking in the kitchen.
Although her movements still looked a little clumsy, she was much more proficient than when she first arrived.
Basically, she could cook anything.
It was just that the taste might be a little worse. But there was one dish she did well.
It was a cold cucumber dish.
Under Chen An's guidance, the cold cucumbers that Gu Xinyue made now could be said to be at the level of a divine chef. It could make people unable to stop eating.
"Yue'er's culinary skills have improved greatly."
Chen An picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food that she had just prepared. He found that it tasted good and could not help but praise it.
Gu Xinyue was filled with joy when she heard this. Her usually cold and beautiful face revealed a smile.
"Thank you for your praise, Husband. I'll continue to work hard to improve my culinary skills."
[You praised your wife, Gu Xinyue, for her great improvement in culinary skills. She was overjoyed. The relationship between husband and wife +2.]
"Oh right, where's Ying'er?"
Seeing that his wife was not in the kitchen, Chen An could not help but ask.
Gu Xinyue replied, "Sister Ying'er is taking care of Little Yuejian in her room. I don't know if she's asleep."
"I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, Chen An went forward and kissed Gu Xinyue. Then, he turned around and went to his wife's room to see his daughter.
[You kissed your wife, Gu Xinyue. Couple relationship +1.]
He stopped in front of the door. Chen An knocked on the door and said softly:
"Ying'er, are you asleep?"
"No, Husband. I'm feeding."
His wife's tired voice came from the side of the room, as well as his daughter's sucking sound.
Creak—
Chen An pushed the door open and entered. He saw his wife sitting by the bed, feeding her daughter.
The mother and daughter were very quiet, and the scene looked very warm.
"Husband, it's been hard on you."
Song Huaying raised her haggard little face slightly and revealed a virtuous smile.
It was the same for first-time mothers. Because she had to take care of the young children, it was difficult for her to rest well at night.
Chen An's heart ached when he saw this. He hurriedly went forward and sat down beside his little wife. He pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "It's not hard on me at all. It's harder on Ying'er to take care of our daughter."
"It's not hard on Ying'er either."
Song Huaying hugged her daughter and fed her while gently snuggling in her husband's embrace. She felt very sweet in her heart.
She was just an ordinary woman. Now that she could become the wife of an Immortal Master and give birth to a daughter for him, it was already a great blessing for her. No matter how hard she worked in the future, it was worth it.
[You're considerate of your wife Song Huaying's hard work in taking care of her daughter. It makes her feel very warm. The relationship between husband and wife +6.]
Soon, his daughter, Chen Yuejian, was full.
Chen An gently carried her from his little wife's arms and let her lie on the bed to sleep for a while.
His daughter had been very noisy last night, and his wife had not rested much the entire night.
"Ying'er, rest well. I'll take my daughter for a walk in the courtyard. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"Mm, thank you, Husband."
"It's no trouble. Ying'er, rest well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An cast a sleeping spell on his wife.
The effect was very obvious. Before his wife could react, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep. She was sleeping soundly, and her face was filled with sweetness.
Chen An carried his daughter out of the room and took a walk in the courtyard outside.
As he walked, he subconsciously licked his lips and could not help but recall the delicious taste he had just tasted in the room.
Two words: very fresh.
He carried his daughter and walked around. Unknowingly, they arrived at the kitchen.
At this moment, Gu Xinyue was walking out of the kitchen with two plates of food. When she saw Chen Husband walking with his daughter, she called out:
"Husband, dinner is ready."
"Yes, I'll be there soon."
Chen An replied with a smile and continued to carry his daughter for a walk.
After a while.
He carried his daughter, Chen Yuejian, back to his room. He woke up his wife, who had been asleep for almost 15 minutes, and said that it was time to eat.
Then, with a thought, he cast a sleeping spell on his daughter in his arms, making her fall asleep instantly with a sweet expression so that his little wife would have time to eat in the hall.
However, his wife was not in a hurry to leave. She said that she had not interacted with him in depth for a long time and wanted to talk to her husband about becoming an immortal.
Chen An refused without thinking. She had just given birth and her body was still recovering. What was there to talk about becoming an immortal? Hurry up and eat on time.
The little wife did not think much of it. She said that with great persistence, one can become an immortal. She just wanted to chat.
Chen An had no choice but to sit by the bed and chat with her.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
[Alchemy Experience+3.]
He left the room.
The couple came to the living room for dinner.
Halfway through the meal.
Chen An took out the pair of jade bracelets he had bought in the market and handed them to his wife and concubine sitting on both sides.
"Ying'er, Yue'er, this is my gift to you."
"Husband is the best!"
"Thank you, Husband."
Both his wife and concubine were very happy. They looked at the bracelet in their hands and could not bear to part with it.
Song Huaying was more relaxed at home. She stood up and kissed her husband.
Gu Xinyue, on the other hand, was a little more reserved. However, she was thinking that she had to serve her husband well tonight.
Seeing that the two women were so happy, Wen Zhiyun, who was sitting opposite them, was envious.
Although Chen An had also given her a bracelet, it was given in the name of gratitude. It was a little lacking.
"Eh, Sister Wen, the pearl bracelet on your hand is so beautiful. Did you buy it when you went out to buy supplies?"
Song Huaying noticed the pearl bracelet on Wen Zhiyun's hand and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Wen Zhiyun put the hand with the bracelet under the table guiltily and smiled:
"Yes, I bought it when I was shopping in the market."
"Sister Wen, did Husband give you this pearl bracelet?"
Song Huaying suddenly teased.
Wen Zhiyun was stumped by the question and did not know how to answer it.
Seeing this, Chen An took the initiative to resolve the situation.
"Fellow Cultivator Wen has been helping to take care of our daughter these past few days. I'm very grateful for her help, so I gave her a pearl bracelet as a thank-you."
When Song Huaying heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and mercilessly exposed him:
"Husband is lying. Husband clearly wanted to please Sister Wen, so he gave her a pearl bracelet."
His wife started to assist him.
In order to speed up the progress of the four of them becoming a family,
"Um… I'm full. I'll go back to my room to cultivate first. You guys eat slowly."
Wen Zhiyun blushed and felt very embarrassed. After saying this, she immediately stood up and left the dining table, walking quickly to her room.
Looking at her fleeing back, Song Huaying said to her husband, "Husband, look at how shy Sister Wen is. She must be a virgin. Husband, you have to grasp her well."
Chen An smiled and did not say anything, but he silently gave his little wife a thumbs up in his heart. He was very gratified by her ability.
After dinner, Chen An did not knock on Wen Zhiyun's door while the iron was hot.
He felt that for a beautiful woman with a proud personality like Wen Zhiyun, rushing things would easily backfire. It was better to take things one step at a time and slowly pry open her heart.
If he forced his way in, he would most likely be thrown out.
He walked out of the hall and arrived at the backyard.
Chen An threw some snake berries he had picked on the way back into the chicken coop and fed them to the chickens inside.
These spirit chickens loved to eat snake berries.
It was just that it tasted a little stupid. When it pecked at the snake berries on the ground, it basically pecked at them with mud and ate them.
After feeding these chickens, Chen An turned around and walked into the vegetable garden at the side. He planted all the seedlings had bought earlier. Then, he watered the natural fertilizer that he had fermented in advance one ladle after another.
After doing this, he left the vegetable garden and went to Gu Xinyue's room to train his spiritual sense.
