Chapter 12 Desperate(1/2)
Author: Bamboo City Little Overlord
The next day, early morning.
The female cultivator who lives across the door came early to pay off the low-grade spiritual stone she owed yesterday.
He also gave me an extra piece and bought a bottle of Jie Shu Dan back.
Looking at the haggard look on the female cultivator's face, Chen An estimated that she was trying to find a way to get money last night and was so busy that she didn't sleep all night.
As for where the money came from and how, Chen An didn't care about it, he just knew that he could make money.
"Husband, it's still early now, can we go back to the room and sleep?"
Song Huaying held Chen An's arm, her beautiful eyes filled with water, and she shook her head coquettishly.
When the female nun came to pay back the money just now, she looked at her carefully.
It turned out that the other party was not inferior to me at all in terms of appearance or figure.
She felt a great sense of crisis about this, and worried that if the other party really became her husband's concubine in the future, her current status in the family would not be guaranteed.
In order to avoid this situation, she thought that she would try her best to please her husband and further enhance her status in her husband's mind before he was accepted into the house.
So, in the following days.
Because of Song Huaying's deliberate decision, the couple's life gradually returned to the same as before the pregnancy, where they had to have sex every day.
It’s just that the number of daily correspondences is reduced by half compared to before, and the process will be more careful and gentle, and more attention will be paid to spiritual communication with each other.
During this period, the female cultivator who lived across the street would come over every once in a while to buy the heat-relieving pills.
Each time the interval became shorter and shorter, it seemed that her seriously ill father's condition had worsened and his need for Jie Shu Dan was increasing.
At first, Chen An thought it was because the Jie Shu Dan had side effects that even he didn't know about.
Such as dependence, addiction, etc.
As a result, I later checked some information and found out that the reason why this happened was entirely due to the fire poison patients themselves.
It's just that the fire poisoning is in the advanced stage, and then the physical condition declines sharply, and the condition worsens day by day.
To put it simply, it is almost the same as the late stage cancer in the previous life.
The body becomes worse day by day until death.
And the female nun's current behavior is equivalent to spending all her money on chemotherapy for her seriously ill father, just hoping that he can live longer.
Chen An thought about trying to persuade the female cultivator.
If you do this, you will only ruin your own life and make your father suffer from illness.
It's better to let your father end his pain as soon as possible, and you won't have to be so tired.
But then I thought about it, the father and daughter have been dependent on each other for so long, and the relationship between them is deep. It is not the turn of an outsider like me to analyze the pros and cons and make people make choices.
…
The days passed like this day by day.
[Goldfinger: Getting Started (66/100)]
[Alchemy: Intermediate Level 1 (338/500)]
[Wife: Song Huaying]
[Attribute: The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water]
[Emotion: 2 stars (299/500)]
[Alchemy experience provided: 320]
[Proficiency level of cheat finger provided: 60]
After taking a quick look, I saw that the increase was not big.
Chen An put away the data in front of him and couldn't help but think of the young female cultivator who lived across the door, a first-level Qi Refining female cultivator named Gu Xinyue.
He still remembered the time when the other party cried and said that she was willing to be a concubine as long as she could save her father.
My little wife is now almost five months pregnant.
In another two months, I will have to take care of my baby again and will not be able to have sex.
At that time, whether it is the Alchemy realm or the Golden Finger realm, the speed of improvement will be greatly reduced.
Judging from this trend, it is somewhat unrealistic to save enough money to move to a core area before the child is born.
After all, from getting married to now, I have only saved less than 300 low-grade spiritual stones.
The only solution at present is to upgrade the alchemy realm to the first advanced level as soon as possible.
In this way, the income from alchemy can be greatly increased, which is more than enough to pay the rent in the core area.
For this reason, Chen An must find a partner who can assist him in his cultivation.
As for this candidate, he fell in love with the young female nun who lived across the street - Gu Xinyue.
First, the other person has outstanding appearance and tall figure, which suits his own aesthetics.
The second is that the other party is young and not experienced in the world, so it is easier to train him in the future.
Third, the other party kept his promise. Once he bought the elixir on credit, he would pay it off on the day he was told. He had a strong character, shouldered the responsibility of the entire family alone as a woman, and was full of filial piety. He was so sick that he could not take care of himself.
My father never abandons me.
It would be a pity if we couldn't find a way to lure such a high-quality partner into our home.
"Hey, let's take a step and see."
Chen An lowered his head and glanced at his little wife's round and firm belly, which was beginning to take shape, and felt extremely worried.
The pressure of starting a family is really great and exhausting.
I really miss my previous unfettered single life.
…
In a blink of an eye, several days passed by.
In recent times, the situation in the cheap area has become increasingly chaotic.
Due to rising rents, there are now a lot of repairs.
I often hear of people being robbed of their property and even their clothes were stripped off.
The worse ones may even kill people and silence them after robbing them of money. The methods are extremely cruel.
The atmosphere in the entire cheap district is very depressing now.
Unless their strength is guaranteed, many people will generally stay at home and shut themselves up.
Some people who are not economically viable will either directly transform themselves into tribulation cultivators, or simply move out of the Bamboo Leaf Forest and find another way out.
Chen An, on the other hand, is one of those people who always stays behind closed doors.
He spends most of his time refining elixirs to make money, and a small amount of time having sex with his young wife.
On this day, Chen An had just finished a business and was about to go back to his room to find his sweet wife. There was an inappropriate knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Master Chen, I'm here to buy ice crystal pills!"
Such a familiar voice, I knew without looking that it was Gu Xinyue who lived across the door.
Come to buy her father's heat-relieving pills.
And this Summer-Relieving Pill has now been renamed Ice Crystal Pill.
After all, it is a bottle of elixir that can be sold for a low-grade spiritual stone. If it is called Jie Shu Dan, the price is too low to deserve the price.
But it's different when it's called Ice Crystal Pill.
It sounds very high-end, but you can buy it for just a low-grade spiritual stone, which feels very affordable.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how much do you want to buy this time?"
Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue outside the window and asked with a smile.
Gu Xinyue took out three low-grade spiritual stones, accurately threw them to Chen An, and said calmly: "Bring me three bottles of ice crystal pills."
This move is becoming more and more heroic.
Chen An sighed inwardly, and did not forget to joke: "Gu Daoyou, where have you made a fortune recently? Could it be that you secretly committed a robbery, right?"
Gu Xinyue smiled faintly, said nothing, picked up three bottles of ice crystal pills, turned around and walked towards her home.
Seeing the graceful figure of the other party leaving, Chen An felt a little regretful.
If I had known that day when Gu Xinyue came over crying and said she was willing to be a concubine, I should have taken her down.
It’s very difficult to win now.
After all, people are no longer short of money now. They can afford pills and rent a house, so why should they have to be a concubine?
