Chapter 9: Ordinary Days
In the next second, an unfamiliar memory suddenly surged over and stabbed into his brain, quickly twitching inside…
It was the memory of the Emotion Severing Pill's formula.
The alchemy ingredients were very common. They could be bought in the market's pharmacy and were not expensive.
The refinement method was very conventional and did not have any difficulty.
The effect of the pill was to refresh the mind and suppress lust. There were no side effects.
"This system has put in a lot of effort."
Chen An laughed bitterly.
Judging from the effect of the Emotion Severing Pill, he guessed that the system was afraid that he would not be able to hold it in when his wife was pregnant and forcefully make love to her, hurting her pregnancy.
As for preventing him from sneaking out while his wife was pregnant…
Chen An felt that this option could be directly eliminated.
After all, from the past notifications, he could tell that the system could not wait for him to get married and have children.
"Husband, what efforts?"
Song Huaying heard Chen An's murmur and couldn't help but feel curious.
Chen An hugged her delicate body from behind and whispered into her ear:
"Ying'er, I have good news for you?"
"What good news?"
"You're pregnant."
"Huh?"
Song Huaying was slightly stunned at first, then a great joy surged in her heart.
I'm going to give birth to my husband's child!
[Your wife Song Huaying found out that she was pregnant with your child. Her feelings for you +1+3+1+4+5+2+0…]
…
In the days that followed.
Chen An endured it and did not touch his wife. He wanted her to take good care of the baby.
As for himself, he was focused on refining pills to earn money.
He could withstand loneliness and endure it. There was no need for the Emotion Severing Pill at all.
However, he still had to refine the Emotion Severing Pill.
This was because he had tried to refine some for sale a few days ago and realized that the demand for the Emotion Severing Pill was very high.
The largest group of customers were the male Cultivators who had many wives and concubines.
There are two main reasons for this:
Firstly, some had wives at home with greater needs than he does. Having only one man was not enough to withstand it and had to suppress his delicate wife's lust.
Secondly, he sometimes had to go out hunting for a long time to earn spirit stones. He was afraid that his wife would be seduced by the next door neighbor, so he had to suppress his wife's lust.
As for the remaining customers, it was more complicated. There were basically all kinds of people.
However, the reason why they bought the Emotion Severing Pill was basically the same. When they needed to focus on their work, they would use it to refresh their minds and eliminate distracting thoughts.
While Chen An was focused on refining pills, Song Huaying, as his wife, seemed to have nothing to do.
Ever since she got married, having fun with her husband every day has become the most important thing in her day.
Now that he couldn't do it, she had a lot more time.
Other than cleaning, washing, and cooking, she didn't know what else to do.
Sometimes, when she was really bored, she would sit alone in front of the window and look out.
She looked out the window at the grass and trees fluttering in the wind, at the birds that flew past from time to time, and at a beautiful female Cultivator from the opposite family who came out to do chores.
In short, it was very boring.
On this day, Chen An came out after refining pills. He saw his wife sitting motionlessly in front of the window and staring out. He couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Ying'er, what are you looking at?"
"Husband, I'm watching the fairy from the opposite family come out to pee."
"What's there to see?"
"Husband, I always thought that immortals were otherworldly. I didn't expect fairies to need to pee like mortals."
"If one's cultivation level is not high, they can't completely break away from the mortal world. They can eat, drink, poop, and so on."
"Husband, that urinating fairy is so beautiful."
"It's indeed beautiful, but she's still a little inferior to my Ying'er."
Chen An said glibly.
After saying that, he brought a chair over and sat at her side. He chatted with his little wife and said sweet nothings.
They talked about their past, their present, and their future.
Every time he came out of the alchemy room, Chen An would come to chat with his wife as usual.
After all, women needed company.
Especially when there were only two people left at home and they could not go out to relax, they needed each other's company even more.
…
Days passed.
Chen An was busy refining pills almost every day, from morning to night.
Slowly, he became rich again.
The number of low-grade spirit stones returned to three digits.
As much as 108 stones.
And this only took less than a month.
"I just need to maintain this speed of earning money. Moving into the core area of the Bamboo Leaf Forest is right in front of us."
Chen An sat in the alchemy room, sweating profusely. He looked at the Emotion Severing Pill that had just been refined in front of him and silently cheered himself on.
Before he got married, he felt that it didn't matter where he lived. After all, he was alone and he could easily feed himself.
However, ever since he had his little wife, he had the thought of moving to the core area.
Especially now that his wife was pregnant, this thought was weighing heavily on him by the day. It was almost becoming an obsession.
He set himself the lowest goal.
Before the child was born, he had to save up enough spirit stones and move to the core area to live.
"Husband, I've made some dessert. Is it convenient for you to come out and drink it now?"
Song Huaying's voice sounded outside the alchemy room.
Now, when she was communicating with Chen An, she would no longer use the word 'wife' to address herself modestly. This was Chen An's request to her.
"Coming!"
Chen An responded and took off the towel on his shoulder to wipe his sweat. He quickly got up and pushed the door open.
Song Huaying scooped a bowl for her husband. It was mung bean water.
This was something her husband had taught her to make. Not only was it simple and delicious, but it could also relieve the heat in this hot summer. It was very suitable for her husband to drink in the alchemy room every day.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Alchemist Chen, come out and pay the rent!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Steward Zhang had come to collect the rent.
Song Huaying heard the knock on the door and sighed, "Time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. It's time to pay the rent."
"Yeah, that's fast."
Chen An responded to his wife and went out to pay the rent with three low-grade spirit stones.
He handed it over easily and with ease.
When Steward Zhang saw this, he couldn't help but joke that Alchemist Chen had struck it rich.
With that, he went to the next shop to collect the rent and did not stay long.
As for the low-level Cultivators of the other families, they were not as straightforward as Chen An. Many of them could not afford the rent and asked Steward Zhang to give them a few more days.
Unfortunately, Steward Zhang did not sympathize with him. He would not even delay for a day.
No money to pay the rent?
Then move away!
Helpless, a few more low-level Cultivators were forced to leave the Bamboo Leaf Forest.
As for those who stayed behind, although they had successfully paid the rent, most of them relied on their savings from before to support themselves.
Once their savings were used up, they would be kicked out sooner or later.
All of them felt immense pressure.
Many female Cultivators who could not afford the rent began to take the initiative to find a companion to rely on in order to continue living in the Bamboo Leaf Forest.
They specialized in finding the rich, such as Alchemists, Talisman Craftsmen, Weapon Masters, and so on.
During this period, several female Cultivators who lived nearby had their eyes on Chen An, but they were all rejected.
This was because these female Cultivators who took the initiative to come to him were all experienced veterans.
Chen An was worried that if he could not control them, he would fail miserably.
If he really wanted to accept female Cultivators, he would only accept some young and inexperienced girls who looked innocent.
