Chapter 143 - 143: Desperation! (2)
In the next half a month, Chen An and his family did not leave the tunnel at all.
They just took refuge in the tunnel obediently.
During this period, his wives and daughters were very sensible and did not have any objections.
Especially his two young daughters. They had never made a fuss about going out.
They were both very obedient.
As the head of the family, other than daily cultivation and alchemy, Chen An spent most of his time with his wives or playing with his two daughters.
His eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, was very playful. She pestered him every day to play all kinds of games or listen to stories.
The second daughter followed along with a silly expression. She did not cry, make a fuss, or laugh.
On this day.
Late at night.
Chen An was intimate with Shen Qingyi in the room. After they were done, he hugged her shoulder and asked gently,
“Qingyi, why don’t we have a child?”
“I don’t think that’ll work.”
Shen Qingyi refused without thinking.
Chen An propped himself up on top of Shen Qingyi, who was lying flat on the bed. He looked down at her and said, “Qingyi, you clearly like children very much. Why don’t you give birth to one yourself?”
“My personality isn’t suitable. I like freedom and don’t like to be tied down by children. 1 want to do whatever I want alone.”
Shen Qingyi said whatever she thought in her heart and did not specially find an excuse that did not exist.
Chen An was a little disappointed, but he did not force it. He tried his best to respect Shen Qingyi’s wishes.
Shen Qingyi sensed Chen An’s disappointment and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck. There was a hint of affection and guilt in her eyes.
“I just don’t want to now. 1’11 tell you as soon as 1 change my mind one day.”
“Okay.”
Chen An smiled and said, “Let’s continue while we still have time.”
“Ok.”
Shen Qingyi said gently.
That night, in order to take care of Chen An’s disappointment, she became more proactive than ever.
As long as she is not having children.
As for the rest, Chen An could do whatever he wanted.
Happy times always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
It was the next day.
Chen An woke up early and found a hole with better air flow to meditate and cultivate.
As for alchemy, firstly, he did not have the ingredients and secondly, he did not have the alchemy room. He could not refine for the time being.
“Husband, we’ve run out of water at home.”
Not long after he sat down and cultivated, Chen An saw Gu Xinyue walking over with a worried expression.
When Chen An heard this, he smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll go out and get some water now.”
“Husband, you have to be careful.”
Gu Xinyue said worriedly.
Now, there were demonic beasts everywhere outside, and the lowest was a Foundation Establishment realm demon. It was difficult not to worry.
Chen An stood up and patted her head. He gave her a reassuring look and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. If anything happens, we’ll contact each other through voice transmission.”
After saying that, Chen An kissed her on the cheek and turned to leave the tunnel to go to the ground.
When Shen Qingyi saw this, she walked up and said, “Husband, I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need. You stay and guard the house. When I’m out, you’ll be the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator left at home. You have to protect them.”
“All right, then.”
“Alright, I’ll be leaving then. Contact me if there’s anything.”
After saying this, Chen An quickly left the tunnel and came to the ground outside.
At this moment, wherever he looked, the ground was a mess.
The house, which had only a hole in the roof, had completely collapsed to the ground. The rubble and beams were shattered everywhere.
The vegetable garden, chicken coop, and pond in the courtyard had all been destroyed beyond recognition.
At a glance, it was filled with the footprints of huge beasts.
“Looks like digging the tunnel was the right decision.”
Chen An was glad that he had made a wise choice half a month ago.
Then, with a thought, he took out the Flying Ship Sword and gently jumped on it. With a swoosh, he flew into the sky.
He had not lived in Hundred Herbs Alley for long and rarely went out. He was not familiar with the terrain here.
If he wanted to find a water source, he had to rely on himself to look down from the sky.
After looking down,
Chen An realized that there were more demonic beasts on the ground than he had imagined.
However, he did not pay much attention to it.
He continued to search for water seriously.
Not long after, he discovered a quiet stream in a forest a few miles away from the South Alley.
“Found water!”
Chen An was overjoyed. Without another word, he flew over on his sword.
He stopped by the stream.
The water was surprisingly clear.
Chen An did not think too much about it. He directly took out an empty storage bag and put dozens of cubic meters of stream water into it with a thought.
There were a total of seven people at home. As long as they used it sparingly, they could use it for at least two to three days.
“Hmm?”
Chen An was about to leave when he suddenly saw a fat spiritual fish floating out of the river not far away.
It was almost as thick as a bucket.
Its stomach flipped slightly.
Just like that, it floated on the surface of the water with its last breath.
It looked like it was about to die of old age.
Chen An felt that this situation was a little familiar. It was as if he had encountered a water ghost from horror stories in his previous life.
The favorite trick of these Water Ghosts was to become fish floating on the water and lure the people on the shore into the water to catch it.
Then, she would pull them into the water and drown them.
With that thought in mind, Chen An expanded his divine consciousness and saw through the entire stream in front of him.
It was just as he had thought.
What was floating on the river was not a spiritual fish, but a Foundation Establishment Water Demon that looked like a monkey.
“Pfft!”
