Chapter 141: Song Huaying’s Little Trick
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By the time Chen An finished building the tunnel, the sky outside had already darkened.
The walls of the tunnel were embedded with night pearls. Although it was not very bright, it illuminated the space enough for the people living inside to move around in the middle of the night.
“Father, I want to fly on a sword.”
The eldest daughter walked over and said. Her tender little face was filled with anticipation. Her addiction to flying on swords was acting up again.
Chen An was about to explain to her that it was a special period and that they could not fly on swords outside when his wife, Song Huaying, walked over and said,
“Little Yuejian, there are human-eating demonic beasts everywhere outside. Do you want to be eaten?”
“Daddy will protect me!”
Chen Yuejian was very confident in her father. In her heart, her father was the most powerful man in the world, mainly because she had never seen many other men.
Seeing that his daughter was so confident in him, Chen An smiled gently at her and said, “You’re thinking too much. I can’t even protect myself now. How can 1 protect you?”
“Aye?”
Chen Yuejian was a little dumbfounded. Her father was so powerful that he couldn’t even protect her?
Before she could ask any questions, her mother quickly brought her to her room to sleep.
Her sister, Chen Yi Ke, was also with her.
Chen Yi Ke was already weaned and rarely made a fuss when she slept at night. She basically looked as if in a daze all day. Other than occasionally wetting the bed, she was very obedient the rest of the time and could no longer rely on Wen Zhiyun to sleep.
“Is it really okay for you to say that about yourself in front of your daughter?”
Wen Zhiyun looked into Chen An’s eyes and couldn’t understand why he had said in front of his daughter that he couldn’t protect her and destroy his omnipotent image in her daughter’s heart.
Chen An said calmly, “There’s nothing bad about it. In this world where life is fragile, it’s not a bad thing to instill a sense of crisis in her since she was young.”
“True.”
Wen Zhiyun felt that it made sense.
His two daughters were protected by their father, who was at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, from the moment they were born. They had always lived in an extremely safe environment. Indeed, they lacked the awareness of danger and respect for this world where everyone was in danger.
Chen Yuejian’s suggestion of flying was a good example.
“Husband, are you hungry? Why don’t I cook some sweet potato dessert and let’s have supper together?”
Gu Xinyue suggested.
Chen An refused without thinking. “This is a special period. Let’s save as much food as we can. When the situation stabilizes in the future, we can do whatever we want.”
“Ok, 1 understand, Husband.”
Gu Xinyue was a little disappointed. It wasn’t that her lost husband had rejected her suggestion, but that she was too insensible and didn’t consider rationing the food supply.
Right at this moment!
Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground!
“Bang!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Bang! Bang!”
Immediately after, waves of muffled beast roars sounded, spreading throughout the entire Hundred Herbs Alley in the silent night.
Another batch of demonic beasts descended from the sky!
Chen An’s expression turned solemn.
Clearly, a demonic beast descended from the sky during the day. Not a long time passed before another one actually came again at night.
This frequency was too much.
“Husband, it seems that another demonic beast has invaded Hundred Herbs Alley.”
Shen Qingyi’s expression was also solemn. She was worried about what was happening.
Chen An comforted her gently. “It’s not a big problem. As long as we stay in the tunnel obediently and don’t go out, no matter how chaotic the aboveground is, it won’t affect us.”
“Fortunately, Husband had the foresight to dig a tunnel under the house in advance. Otherwise, we would be in danger tonight.”
It was unknown if it was because she had been with Song Huaying for too long and had been influenced by her, but Gu Xinyue, who had always been cold, actually flattered her husband at this moment.
Wen Zhiyun looked at Gu Xinyue in surprise. Clearly, she did not expect her sister to suck up.
It seemed that she had been led astray by Sister Ying’er.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a deafening bang came from above the tunnel.
It shook the entire tunnel.
Then, the roar of a huge beast sounded from the ground.
A demonic beast had smashed into the tunnel!
“Father, I’m afraid. Boohoo!”
“Waaa… waaa… waaa!”
The two young daughters in the room were shocked awake by the sudden loud noise. They opened their mouths and wailed.
When Chen An heard this, he rushed to his room immediately and gently comforted his two daughters for a while. Then, he cast a Sleepy Time Spell on the two of them to let them sleep more peacefully.
Then, he took out a Soundproof Talisman and isolated the room from the outside world.
The effect of the Soundproof Talisman was the opposite of the Soundproof Array.
After using the Soundproof Talisman, one would not be able to hear the voices outside in a specific area, but the voices inside could be heard outside.
“Husband, did another demonic beast smash down from the sky outside?”
Seeing that her daughters were sleeping soundly, Song Huaying could not help but ask with a worried expression.
Chen An comforted her gently. “It’s alright. We’re very safe in the tunnel. Don’t worry.”
“Ok.”
Song Huaying replied in relief.
In the following period of time, Chen An had to use Soundproof Talismans in each wife’s room.
However, his wives said that there was no need and asked him to save some for his two daughters.
“It’s so noisy up there now. How are you going to sleep later?”
Chen An looked at his four wives and asked. He did not want them to suffer in order to save on these Soundproof Talismans.
Soundproof Talismans were different from food. They were rarely used, and there was no such thing as waste.
The wives were touched by their husband’s concern and could feel how good he was.
“It doesn’t matter if we sleep for a day or two less. Besides, no matter how noisy the demonic beasts outside are, there will be a time when they stop. We can catch up on our sleep when the time comes.”
Wen Zhiyun flicked the hair that fell over her ear and said logically.
Shen Qingyi agreed. “I’m a mid-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It won’t be a problem for me to not sleep for half a month. There’s indeed no need to waste the talismans.”
Chen An nodded. Then, he looked at Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue, who were only at the pitiful Qi Refining Level 1, and asked them, “What about the two of you?”
Gu Xinyue said sensibly, “Husband, I don’t need it for now. I’ll use it when I’m really tired and it’s still very noisy outside.”
Song Huaying’s beautiful eyes were watery as she said with a playful smile, “It’s fine. It’s not like you don’t know, husband. Ying’er can scream louder than those demonic beasts. She’s even noisier than them. When she’s tired, she’ll naturally be able to sleep peacefully.”
“You troublemaker, you’re getting more and more mischievous every day.” Chen An gently flicked his wife’s forehead and smiled gently.
Song Huaying took advantage of the situation and went forward to hold his arm. She tiptoed slightly and leaned into his ear. She gently exhaled and said,
“The reason why Ying’er is so naughty now is all because Husband doesn’t hit her often ~”
As she said this, she did not forget to playfully blow at Chen An’s ears. The hot wind made Chen An’s ears tingle.
How could Chen An tolerate such playfulness? He started flirting in public, and the sound of slapping could be heard non-stop.
The other three wives blushed. They were all adults, but they still had to be spanked. Just looking at it made them feel so embarrassed.
Fifteen minutes later.

“Trickster, do you know your mistake?”
Chen An put down Song Huaying, who had been reprimanded. He looked like a father lecturing his daughter, but there was a smile on his face. It was obvious that they were flirting.
“I was wrong, but I’ll dare to do it again next time.” Song Huaying’s face was flushed red. Her tone was like a mischievous daughter, but from the age difference, the two of them could indeed be father and daughter.
Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at the two of them and said angrily, “The two of you are almost done. I can’t bear to watch anymore.”
In fact, she also wanted to flirt with her husband like this.
It was just that there were too many people now and she could not let go of her pride.
In the following period of time, Chen An sat in the hall with his wives and chatted.
It couldn’t be helped. The ground was too noisy.
Occasionally, there would be loud bangs and vibrations from heavy objects hitting the ground.
“Husband, why don’t we play some games to kill time?”
Seeing that everyone was chatting and there was nothing to talk about, Song Huaying suggested with a sweet smile.
Wen Zhiyun said speechlessly, “Ying’er, are your games decent?”
“It’s decent, of course it’s decent!” Song Huaying pouted slightly and pretended to be angry. “Sister Wen is too much, treating Ying’er like an indecent woman. I’m so sad.”
“Girl, you even played with your tricks on me, right?”
As Wen Zhiyun spoke, she pulled Song Huaying into her arms, pinching her cheeks.
Song Huaying begged for mercy. “Sister, Sister Wen, ah, 1 was wrong. I, I, ah, 1 won’t dare to tease you again.”
Her voice was intermittent, but it did not sound uncomfortable. Instead, there was a hint of joy in it.
The two women played for a while before separating.
Chen An looked at Song Huaying, whose hair was about to become a mess. He smiled and walked up to help her tidy her hair. As he did so, he asked, “Ying’er, what was the game you mentioned just now?”
Song Huaying said in a soft voice, “Actually, it’s nothing much. 1 just want you to help the four of us dress up. However, you have to dress up according to your image of us.”
The other three wives’ eyes lit up at the same time.
This game sounds very interesting. They can understand what kind of person they are in their husband’s eyes through him dressing them.
“Husband, Ying’er’s suggestion is good.”
“I think so too.”
“Yes, it does sound interesting.”
Wen Zhiyun, Gu Xinyue, and Shen Qingyi spoke one after another.
Seeing that his wives all wanted to play, Chen An naturally chose to satisfy them. He smiled and said, “Alright, take out your clothes, jewelry, and rouge. I’ll help you dress up.”
When his wives heard this, they took out their things from their storage bags and placed them on the table for Chen An to choose from later.
