Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Breakthrough! Unlocking a New Way to Earn Points

“Hee hee…”
“Hee hee hee…”

“Big brother, let’s play ball together…”

“Ah!”

“Hee hee, come play!”

“Don’t come over here!”

“Hee hee, kicking the ball!”

……

The night was deep, like a ferocious beast waiting to devour someone.

Since the man-eating tiger incident, the nights in Da He Village became even quieter. The nights, which already had little activity, were now filled with tightly closed doors and windows.

Even if they heard any movement outside, they would lock their doors and windows tightly, not daring to go out and check, let alone watch the commotion.

Stars shifted, and the long night quietly passed like water, with white frost slowly condensing on the grass and leaves.

Dawn broke.

A fiery red sun slowly rose, dispelling the gloom and coldness of the night, bringing vitality to the earth.

The villagers, who had rested for the night, got up one after another, washed up, ate, and went out to work.

The village became lively again.

Zhou Chen’s house was still very quiet.

He slept very soundly, comfortably, and happily that night, and also slept very late.

The sun was high in the sky.

The warm sunlight finally sneaked into the room and landed on his face because of the angle. Tickled by it, Zhou Chen’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his sleepy eyes.

“Who first wakes from the big dream? I know myself in this life!”

Zhou Chen twisted his neck. His chest felt heavy. Qin Hong Yu, embracing him, was still sound asleep. Her fair cheeks bore some tear stains, but she slept soundly, with a happy spring in her brows.

Zhou Chen’s consciousness turned to his personal panel.

【Romance Points: 1250】

“I actually earned over a thousand Romance Points in one night?”

“Holy crap!”

“Is Feng Xia made of gold?”

Zhou Chen was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Ji Feng Xia to be so powerful.

His consciousness turned to Ji Feng Xia, who was sound asleep in the Wind and Moon Mirror. He suddenly discovered that her soul body had become more condensed and powerful.

“Qi Refinement, Fourth Level?”

“She even broke through?”

They had a lot of fun last night. Both he and Ji Feng Xia could gain some benefits in the Wind and Moon Mirror, so he didn’t pay much attention.

He didn’t expect Ji Feng Xia to break through afterward.

But Ji Feng Xia was already at the peak of the third level of Qi Refinement. Now, with his assistance and the support of a supreme treasure like the Wind and Moon Mirror, her breakthrough was also reasonable.

“Does this mean I have a powerful subordinate now?”

The more Zhou Chen thought about it, the happier he became. Not only did his Romance Points increase significantly, but he also had a powerful helper.

After the excitement subsided.

Zhou Chen summarized his experience. The reason he could gain so many Romance Points last night was not only because it was Ji Feng Xia’s first time and her cultivation was high, but perhaps also because of Qin Hong Yu.

Zhou Chen could be said to have worked his butt off, one person splitting into two.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Props have bonuses, and I gained so many Romance Points last night. Could it be that the more exciting it is, the more points I get?”

Although Zhou Chen had no evidence, he felt that it shouldn’t be wrong.

He could experiment more in the future!

“How should I use so many Romance Points?”

Looking at his personal panel, Zhou Chen thought for a moment and added 240 points to the Breath Concealment Technique. The rest were all added to Yi’s Archery.

In an instant.

The Breath Concealment Technique increased by two levels.

【Breath Concealment Technique: Sixth Level（0/320）】

Countless cultivation experiences surged into his mind. Zhou Chen felt as if he had been diligently practicing for ten years, rain or shine, breaking through two realms consecutively.

His control over his own aura became more effortless. Even those five realms higher than him in cultivation wouldn’t be able to see through him.

With his current cultivation at the second level of Body Refinement, Flesh Tempering Realm, even experts at the seventh level of Body Refinement or Qi Refinement wouldn’t be able to see through his true cultivation.

“With my current level of the Breath Concealment Technique, no one in Qing He County should be able to see through me, right?” Zhou Chen was in a great mood. At least on the surface, he hadn’t heard of any cultivators in Qing He County above the seventh level of Body Refinement.

After all, even Zhang Long, the County Captain, was only at the third level of Body Refinement, and he had just reached it.

“Yi’s Archery, add points!”

The remaining 1010 Romance Points were all added to Yi’s Archery. Although the Breath Concealment Technique was important, strength was the foundation.

At this moment.

Zhou Chen felt as if he was holding the Sunset Bow, practicing day and night. His cultivation continuously increased, and his physical strength grew, reaching at least 5000 jin of power!

Zhou Chen came back to his senses, feeling his muscles twitching, full of explosive power, as if he could shatter the sky with a single punch.

His whole body exuded a fierce and terrifying aura of valor.

Zhou Chen circulated the Breath Concealment Technique, and his aura quickly converged, returning to his ordinary appearance, like a young master who didn’t know martial arts!
“Hmm!”

“Good sir, no more, please spare me…”

Qin Hong Yu, in her sleep, seemed to sense something and murmured, twisting her body, but it was as if she was pinned down.

Zhou Chen lowered his head and looked at Qin Hong Yu’s rosy cheeks and lightly trembling eyelashes. He shook his head and smiled.

He had just added 1000 points to Yi’s Archery. He had already completed half of the Flesh Tempering Realm, and his muscles had become tough and powerful, with some parts even undergoing obvious changes.

No wonder even Qin Hong Yu, who was sound asleep, almost woke up!
“If I continue to gain Romance Points at this rate, wouldn’t I be able to complete the Flesh Tempering Realm tomorrow and enter the third level of Body Refinement?”

Full of anticipation, Zhou Chen looked at Qin Hong Yu and then at the sky outside. Should he get up and cook, or continue sleeping?

“Something happened!”

“Something happened at Zhang Lao Er’s house, it’s terrifying!”

“Oh my god, there was a man-eating tiger before, and now this kind of thing happened again, how can we live like this!”

“Quickly go and invite the Village Head!”

“And Brother Chen!”

“Brother Chen is the number one warrior in our village now!”

Noisy voices came from afar. Zhou Chen, with his superior hearing, frowned. It seemed like he couldn’t sleep in anymore!

Zhou Chen immediately got out of bed. Glancing at his protesting little brother, he could only shake his head helplessly and put on his clothes.

“Hmm…”

Qin Hong Yu unconsciously let out a soft moan. Zhou Chen took a pillow and gave it to her to hug, covered her with the quilt, and left the room with his bow and arrows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he stepped out of the room, there came a hurried knocking on the door.

Ye Gou shouted, “Brother Chen, are you up? Something big happened in the village!”

“Coming!”

Zhou Chen opened the door and saw Ye Gou with a frightened face. He frowned and asked,

“What happened?”

“Brother Chen, it’s Zhang Lao Er’s family. All six members of his family are dead, and all of them have been beheaded. It’s terrifying…”

As Ye Gou spoke, he couldn’t help but shudder. He felt chills just thinking about the scene he had witnessed.

“I’ll go and have a look!”

Zhou Chen took Ye Gou with him and strode towards the scene.

Zhang Lao Er was a hunter in the village. He had gone hunting with Zhou Chen before, helping him carry the prey.

Zhang Lao Er’s family had two elderly parents, two children, and the couple themselves, making a total of six people.

Not long after.

Zhou Chen and Ye Gou arrived at Zhang Lao Er’s house.

At this time, the surrounding area was crowded with villagers, who all made way for Zhou Chen when they saw him arrive.

Zhou Chen was a skilled hunter and could carry a wild boar weighing four to five hundred jin down the mountain by himself. He was already recognized as the number one warrior in Da He Village and enjoyed a small reputation.

When Zhou Chen saw the scene, he couldn’t help but gasp, his stomach churning.

Zhang Lao Er’s courtyard was covered in blood.

Six corpses lay scattered on the ground, blood staining the ground red. There were also crisscrossing bloodstains on the ground.

It was as if a soccer ball had rolled on the ground, leaving trails of blood.

But Zhou Chen and everyone else knew that there was no soccer ball. Those were bloodstains left by rolling heads. In other words, after the murderer killed the people, they actually kicked their heads around like balls!
How cruel!

Not human!
“Master, there’s Yin Energy!”

Ji Feng Xia, who had just woken up in the Wind and Moon Mirror, sensed the scene and said in Zhou Chen’s mind,

“The murderer is likely not human!”
