Chapter 115: Another Bamboo Leaf Gang

Soon, Chen An left the alchemy room and walked towards Shen Qingyi’s room.

He had not seen Shen Qingyi since that night.

Not sure what is wrong with Shen Qingyi, but she locked herself in her room and did not come out.

He brought her food but she refused to eat. He brought her water and she refused to drink.

She was like an otherworldly fairy.

“Fellow Cultivator Shen, can I come in?”

Chen An stood outside Shen Qingyi’s door and asked gently.

After a while, Shen Qingyi replied, “Yes.”

Hmm? Chen An was stunned. She actually agreed?

He thought that Shen Qingyi would most likely refuse, but he did not expect her to enter just by asking.

He stopped thinking about it.

Chen An pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Shen Qingyi sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi was only wearing a thin plain-colored loose brocade robe. Her graceful figure was very obvious, and she was extremely beautiful.

“Alchemist Chen, long time no see.”

Shen Qingyi slowly opened her eyes and looked at Chen An with a faint smile.

Chen An did not pretend to be a gentleman with her. He walked straight to her side and sat down. He naturally reached out to hug her shoulder and said gently, “Yes, we haven’t seen each other for more than a month.”

Shen Qingyi looked at Chen An’s other restless hand and instinctively retracted her fair and beautiful feet. However, when she thought that she was already his woman, she stretched her fair feet back and let him play with them. Her face turned red.

Chen An saw her shy look and was very puzzled.

Isn’t she quite a little woman? Isn’t this quite interesting?

Why was his Relationship level still ‘Unranked’?

Could there be physical and psychological shyness?

Chen An could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.

At this moment, Shen Qingyi spoke up. Her voice carried a hint of shyness as she said, “Alchemist Chen, the reason why I’ve been avoiding you these past few days is not because you’ve been too frequent that night and made me disgusted. It’s just that 1 don’t know how to face you. 1 feel very embarrassed whenever I face you.”

Hearing her say this, Chen An seemed to understand.

Shen Qingyi hadn’t completely figured it out yet and couldn’t completely adapt to this relationship.

If nothing goes wrong, as long as she can adapt to this relationship and surrender her body and mind, she should be able to meet the system’s standards for cultivating Relationships in the future.

Thinking about this, Chen An hugged her tighter and kissed her naturally. He said affectionately, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, it’s okay. You’re just a little reserved. You’ll be able to face it calmly after a long time. Cultivated love is better than love at first sight.”

“Ok.”

Shen Qingyi responded softly and closed her beautiful eyes shyly, allowing Chen An to do whatever he wanted to her.

Time passed quickly, he was slightly distracted.

Another half a month passed.

In the past few days, Chen An would come to look for her almost every night.

Shen Qingyi did not refuse and silently accepted him.

On this day, the sky was just starting to brighten.

Chen An did not sleep. After covering Shen Qingyi, who was slowly falling asleep, with a thought, he pulled up several notifications to check.

[Sword Technique+1, Metal-type Spiritual Root Aptitude+1] X55

[Sword Technique: Proficient (233/500)]

[Metal-type Spiritual Root: Medium (233/500)]

“The improvement is indeed slow.”

Chen An smiled silently. He thought to himself that it was so frequent every day. If it were his three wives, they would probably have broken through to the proficient level of Sword Technique and the high-grade of the Metal-type Spiritual Root.

It seemed that the Relationship level was still important.

The increase in experience brought about by a Relationship level of 0 stars or 1 star was completely incomparable to a Relationship level of 3 stars or 4 stars.

“Fellow Cultivators of Hundred Herbs Alley!”

“The Thousand Devouring Insect outside has been destroyed by our Crimson Fire Gang!”

“Everyone can come out now!”

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside.

His voice was extremely penetrating, a big public announcement in the square entered everyone’s ears in Hundred Herbs Alley.

This was a voice transmission from a major Cultivator.

From the range of this sound transmission, he was at least a Golden Core Cultivator.

“The Thousand Devouring Insect have been destroyed?”

Shen Qingyi sat up from the bed, her face filled with joy.

After being cooped up in Chen An’s house for so long, she could finally go out and take a breather.

Compared to Shen Qingyi, Chen An looked a little happy and worried.

Happiness was because after the disaster ended, life could return to normal.

He was worried because he was worried that Shen Qingyi would move out.

Chen An tried his best to calm down. He looked at Shen Qingyi and asked, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, the Thousand Devourer Insect disaster is over. What are your plans next?”

“I need to find a livelihood. If I want to settle down in the redwoods, income is essential.”

Shen Qingyi replied without thinking. This answer sounded like she wanted to move out.

Chen An’s heart turned cold. He couldn’t help but push her onto the bed. He looked into her eyes and asked, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, stay in my house from now on. That way, you can just settle down.”

“Alchemist Chen, I don’t have the intention to be your wife for the time being…”

When Shen Qingyi said this, she subconsciously turned her head to the side, not daring to meet Chen An’s gaze.

Chen An didn’t say anything. He gently straightened her head and lowered his head to kiss her affectionately. Then, he said, “Fellow Cultivator Shen, you can stay even if you’re not my wife. Ying’er likes you, and so does Little Yuejian. Can you just treat it as you’re staying here for the two of them?”

There was a moment of silence.

In the end, under Chen An’s aggressive gaze, Shen Qingyi had no choice but to “compromise” and make a soft sound.

Chen An smiled, and his hand on Shen Qingyi’s slender waist pulled up slightly. He skillfully untied and pulled out the belt around her waist.

Shen Qingyi pressed down on his hand and pursed her lips in refusal. “Alchemist Chen, can we wait for tonight?”

n

Okay.”

As Chen An spoke, he tied it back for her, fully respecting her thoughts and wishes.

Shen Qingyi hesitated for a moment before saying, “Alchemist Chen, how much is the monthly rent for living here? I’ll hand it to you on time at the end of the month in the future.”

“Just like before, rent is waived. You can continue to teach me techniques in the future. 1 still have many basic techniques I want to learn.”

“Mm, then we’ll do as Alchemist Chen says.”

Shen Qingyi had no objections. She knew that she had gotten a great deal. She thought that she would let Chen An take advantage of her elsewhere in the future. No one would suffer a loss.

Then, she said to Chen An, “Alchemist Chen, I’m going to change my clothes and go out to see what’s going on. Can you go out and let me change my clothes?”

Her body had already been touched and seen. Why should she take off her clothes to avoid arousing suspicion?

Chen An could not understand Shen Qingyi’s thoughts. He probed, “Why don’t…

1 help you change?”

Shen Qingyi was silent for a moment. She wanted to refuse.

However, she found that she could not find a reason to refuse.

Helpless, she could only compromise and nod in agreement. “Yes, then I’ll have to trouble Alchemist Chen.”

Seeing that she agreed, Chen An did not dawdle. He immediately took out a cloth belt and a set of black clothes from her wardrobe.

Then, under her guidance, he carefully wrapped her in a belt and put on a fitting black suit.

Soon, the two of them left the room.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, Chen An saw his wife and daughter standing at the door, looking at the situation outside.

“Husband, listen to the commotion outside. The Thousand Devouring Insect disaster seems to have ended.”

Wen Zhiyun turned around and looked at Chen An.

Chen An nodded and said, “I’ll go out with Fellow Cultivator Shen to take a look. You guys stay at home and wait for us to come back.”

Wen Zhiyun said, “Yes, I understand. Husband and Fellow Cultivator Shen, you have to be careful.”

Song Huaying was a little worried. She said worriedly, “Husband, come back quickly.”

Gu Xinyue was also worried. “Husband, you must come back…”

Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

Chen An comforted his three wives for a while and quickly walked out of the courtyard with Shen Qingyi.

Outside the house, in the alley.

As soon as Chen An walked out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The entire sky was filled with the smell of burning.

The ground was filled with the corpses of the Thousand Devourer Insects.

Everything he saw was as if he was in a forest that had been ravaged by a fire.

At a glance, there were traces of charred remains of the Thousand Devourer Insect everywhere.

Chen An recalled the announcement. It seemed that a gang called the Crimson Fire Gang had taken action to deal with these insects.

Judging from the name of the Crimson Fire Gang, it was most likely that this gang was filled with Cultivators with Fire-type Spiritual Roots. Then, an expert took action and burned all these Thousand Devouring Insects.

To be able to burn insects on such a large scale, this Crimson Fire Gang expert’s cultivation was at least at the Golden Core realm.

Crack!

Chen An was looking at the remains of the Thousand Devouring Insects on the ground and deep in thought when a crisp sound suddenly came from ahead.

He looked in the direction of the voice and realized that a resident was picking up the burnt insect bits on the ground and putting it into his mouth to wolf it down, as if he had not eaten for ten years.

He was trapped at home and starving. He continued to eat to replenish himself.

Regardless of whether it was a Thousand Devouring Insect or a Centipede, they ate anything as long as they could absorb, giving people a strange feeling that everyone was a Thousand Devouring Insect.

“Alchemist Chen, it seems like this Thousand Devourer Insect disaster is really over.”

A faint smile appeared on Shen Qingyi’s face.

Chen An smiled faintly and said, “Yes, after so many days, we can finally have some peace and quiet for a period of time.”

It was the same scene. It also happened in front of the houses in Hundred Herbs Alley.

Many residents walked out of their houses and looked at the outside world that had returned to its usual calm. All of them revealed a smile after surviving a calamity.

In this cultivation world where everyone was in danger, as low-level Cultivators, it was worth rejoicing when they could avoid any disaster.

At this moment, a deep man’s voice suddenly came from the center of Hundred Herbs Alley.

“Fellow Cultivators of Hundred Herbs Alley!”

“I’m the leader of the Crimson Fire Gang, Zhou Tianyi. I’m a Cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. I’m sure you’ve heard of my name!”

“The Thousand Devouring Insect in Hundred Herb Alley was destroyed by me just now with a group of Crimson Fire Gang members!”

“I saved your lives!

H

“From today onwards, the Crimson Fire Gang will be stationed in the Samadhi Tower in the center of Hundred Herbs Alley. The entire Hundred Herbs Alley will be protected by the Crimson Fire Gang!”

“By the way, Fellow Cultivators who live in Hundred Herbs Alley!”

“Every family has to pay two mid-grade spirit stones to the Crimson Fire Gang as protection fee every month!”

When the last sentence was said, the residents of Hundred Herbs Alley, who were originally praising and thanking the Crimson Fire Gang, instantly fell silent.

When Chen An, who was standing in front of his house, heard that he had to hand over two mid-grade spirit stones every month, a thought immediately arose in his heart.

It was over. It was probably another Bamboo Leaf Gang..
