“W-What do you mean by that?”
The purple-dressed woman’s words revealed nervousness. She no longer had the high and mighty attitude.
Chen An wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush with her. He chose to go straight to the point.
“1 know you’ll cut off your tail and escape. You can make a comeback every time you’re killed.”
“Therefore, 1 won’t kill you this time. 1 choose to imprison you in this cave to prevent you from harassing me for no reason.”
As he spoke, Chen An took out four artifacts from the purple-dressed woman’s storage ring.
First, the Thunderstruck Wood Shackles. A wooden board with two wrist-sized holes in the middle was equivalent to handcuffs in his previous life. It was used to restrict the prisoners’ hands, but when it was damaged, it would release lightning, electrocuting living beings until they twitched.
Secondly, the Sea Tower Stone Chain. The Sea Tower Stone was an extremely special underwater ore. As long as it came into contact with it, it would absorb the spiritual energy in a living being’s body.
Third, Tightening Collar. The living beings who were trapped by this collar could not use their divine consciousness. Otherwise, the collar would tighten and suffocate the living beings. However, it would only suffocate them, not till death. It would only make them feel worse than death.
Fourthly, the God Avoiding Earring was made of a combination of Hidden Machine Stones and blue crystals. After wearing it, one could hide their aura and block the perception of others.
“This is my artifact!”
“You took my storage ring!”
“Return my storage ring!”
Seeing Chen An suddenly take out four artifacts that she was extremely familiar with, the woman in the purple dress was furious.
Chen An was stunned when he heard her words.
Was there something wrong with this fox demon’s brain?
What kind of situation do you think you are in now? What’s our relationship? You want me to return your storage ring to you?
Heh, she was probably a second-generation demon who had been spoiled since she was young.
Chen An sneered in his heart and walked towards the woman in the purple dress with the four artifacts.
The woman in the purple dress revealed a terrified expression when she saw this. She moved back desperately and shouted in fear, “No, don’t come over!”
Chen An did not say much. He went up and punched her in the face.
He hit her until she was semi-conscious and almost fainted.
Then, he squatted down and put the four restrictive artifacts on her one by one.
Chen An’s punch just now was not heavy.
The woman in the purple dress quickly woke up. Seeing that her limbs and neck were restricted by the items, she immediately threatened,
“You human Cultivator, you’d better let me go. My grandmother is a Nascent Soul Cultivator. If she finds out that you treat me like this, you’ll die an ugly death!”
“Stay here. i’ll come over regularly to feed you in the future, lest you starve to death.”
After saying this, Chen An turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing that Chen An was about to leave, the woman in the purple dress panicked.
She shouted at Chen An, “Despicable person, kill me now if you have the ability.
Otherwise, once I escape in the future, 1’11 definitely kill your wives and daughters!”
Chen An originally wanted to ignore her, but when he heard the last sentence, “Kill your wives and daughters”, he stopped in his tracks.
Then, he turned around and walked back with a dark expression.
The woman in the purple dress could not help but be secretly delighted when she saw this. She had succeeded in provoking him. She could be free!
However, what Chen An did to her next made her regret her provocation just now.
Chen An stopped in front of her and kicked her to the ground with a dark expression. He stepped on her beautiful face and looked down at her.
“Have you ever heard of essence balm?”
“You dog, kill me if you have the guts!”
The woman in the purple dress felt extremely humiliated when her face was stepped on. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
When Chen An heard this, he stomped even harder and said indifferently, “That’s true. You must not have heard of it. After all, this is something from my hometown.”
“When I was still a mortal in the past, in summer, in order to prevent mosquitoes and insects from biting me, 1 specially developed this Essence Balm.”
“Although the mosquito repellent effect is not as good as industrialized production in my previous life, it’s more than ten times more stimulating to the human skin.”
“I made a bottle half a year ago. 1 originally wanted to use it to prevent mosquitoes and insects for my two young daughters. 1 didn’t expect it to be of use to you.”
As he spoke, Chen An took out an exquisite medicine bottle from his storage bag.
There was a pop. The cork was unplugged.
In an instant, an extremely pungent smell instantly filled the cave.
“You, what do you want to do to me?”
“1 was wrong. 1 won’t kill your wives and daughters. That was what I deliberately said to provoke you just now. I’m not a bloodthirsty person!”
“No, don’t!”
The woman in the purple dress was nervous at first, then terrified. In the end, she curled up into a ball. Her delicate body kept trembling, and her exquisite face was filled with pain.
Chen An put the empty medicine bottle into his storage bag and said, “Please understand your current situation.” Then, he turned around and left the cave without looking back.
Before leaving, he did not forget to set up a soundproof array formation for the cave.
After that, he rode his sword and soared into the sky, flying towards the market at high speed.
In just a moment, Chen An arrived at the Lu Corporation’s trading company.
First, he sold some valuable items in his storage bag and sold many high-grade spirit stones.
Then, he used these high-grade spirit stones to buy twenty Level 3 medicinal pill formulas. At the same time, he got his wives and daughters some gifts for free.
Then, he rode his sword and left the Lu Corporation’s trading company.
On the way home, Chen An saw several human Cultivators being chased by a group of demons.
The cultivation levels of both sides were not high. They were only at the Foundation Establishment realm.
“Strange, why aren’t those people flying away on their swords? Don’t they know how to?”
Chen An could not understand.
With that thought in mind, he rode his sword and swooped down.
With just a few slashes, in an instant, he killed the group of stone-like demons.
“Thank you for your help, Fellow Cultivator!”
“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator!”
“Thank you, Fellow Cultivator!”
The few people who were saved thanked Chen An one after another. Their faces were filled with relief from surviving a calamity.
As Chen An retrieved the demon cores, he asked curiously, “You’re all
Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Why didn’t you fly away on your swords when you were chased by these demons?”
“Fellow Cultivator, you might not know this, but these demonic beasts will shoot out some soil that has the effect of absorbing spiritual power. It’s easy to be hit when flying in the air. We can only use the ground as cover to escape.”
A rather beautiful female Cultivator answered first, deliberately attracting Chen An’s attention.
Unfortunately, Chen An was not interested in her at all. He only asked, “Do you know what kind of demonic beasts these are?”
Those people shook their heads to indicate that they didn’t know.
Seeing this, Chen An did not ask further.
After putting all the demon cores he had collected into his storage bag,
Soon, he rode his sword and soared into the sky, flying home at high speed.
On the way, Chen An studied the demon cores he had just collected.
It was an Earth-type demon core.
Moreover, it was at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Great, he could bring it back for Shen Qingyi and Gu Xinyue to nurture the Earth-type Spiritual Root.
Hundred Herbs Alley, in the tunnel.
When Chen An walked into the hall, his wives and daughters were sitting around the dining table eating breakfast.
When Song Huaying saw her husband return, she immediately said to her daughter, “Little Yuejian, see you. Daddy is back. Hurry up and scoop a bowl of porridge for Daddy.”
“Ok!”
Chen Yuejian said crisply.
Gu Xinyue pulled out a chair beside her and said to Chen An with a smile, “Husband, sit here.”
“Mm.”
Chen An nodded and walked over to sit down.
After that, he told his wives what had happened in the wee hours of the morning. He said that the fox demon had come home, but he had subdued it and imprisoned it in a cave.
Hearing his words, his wives felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
Fortunately, her husband discovered the fox demon in time and ran to her house.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Husband, why don’t you just kill that fox demon and end it?”
Wen Zhiyun picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her daughter’s mouth. Her mature face, which was getting more and more flirtatious, was filled with confusion.
Without waiting for Chen An to explain, Shen Qingyi, who was sitting opposite Wen Zhiyun, said,
“Zhiyun, you might not know this, but that fox demon has the ability to break its tail and escape. After killing it, it will make a comeback some time later. Only by imprisoning it will resolve the issue.”
“Husband, even a Golden Core Cultivator can’t completely kill that fox demon. Isn’t that fox demon too terrifying?” Song Huaying was very surprised.
After finishing the porridge handed over by his daughter, Chen An took out the gifts he had obtained for free from the Lu Corporation and gave them to his wives and daughters.
This time, he specially brought back dozens of boxes of Heavenly Snow Fruit Spirit Cake. His eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, couldn’t stop smiling. She smiled so much that her second daughter, Chen Yi Ke, couldn’t close her legs. Her short legs under the table were kicking around excitedly.
“For safety reasons, Qingyi and 1 will go out later and find a place to dig a new tunnel. At that time, our family will move over.”
Seeing that his wives and daughters’ excitement from receiving the gift had decreased a little, Chen An said calmly.
Wen Zhiyun was puzzled. “Husband, why are we suddenly moving?”
She liked a monotonous and stable life. She did not like to see her life change.
She had a natural resistance to moving.
Chen An patiently explained to her, “Although that fox demon is imprisoned in the cave now and can’t come out, we cannot stay here like sitting ducks if she escapes one day.”
“Because she knows where we live and can come looking for revenge at any time.”
“So for safety reasons, we have to move and live somewhere else.”
“I understand, Husband.”
Wen Zhiyun nodded in understanding.
He did not waste any time.
After reminding his wives and daughters who had stayed at home, Chen An and Shen Qingyi quickly went out to look for a new location.
It took about an hour. The new place had been chosen.
In less than six hours, the tunnel was already dug.
Then, the couple returned to the tunnel and brought the remaining people over to repair and decorate the new tunnel.
After all of this was done, it was already night time.
That night, it was Chen An’s turn to spend the night at Shen Qingyi’s place.
Seeing that it was about time, he went into the room to look for her.
“Qingyi, when 1 returned from the trading company that day, 1 killed a group of unknown demonic beasts and collected some Earth-type demon cores. This half is for you to nurture your Earth-type Spiritual Root. I’ll give the rest to Yue’er later.”
Chen An sat by the bed and took out dozens of demon cores from his storage bag and placed them on the bed.
Shen Qingyi shook her head and smiled. “I appreciate your kindness. Although I’m a Metal and Earth Cultivator, 1 mainly cultivate the Metal-type Spiritual Root. It’s a waste to use these Earth-type demon cores on me. It’s better to give them all to Yue’er.”
Chen An: “That’s fine too. When I collect Metal-type demon cores in the future, I’ll use them to nurture your spiritual root.”
After saying that, he put away the demon core on the bed and placed his hand on the belt at Shen Qingyi’s waist. His eyes were filled with desire.
“Qingyi, it’s about time. It’s time to rest.”
“Mm.”
Shen Qingyi replied softly..
