Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 35

Chapter 35: On the Importance of Savings

“Divine Arrow Peak’s Yi’s Archery!?”

“But the power of this arrow seems… lacking…”

The woman in white frowned in confusion. Forget about the terrifying existence in her memory, even that old geezer’s disciple was more skilled than this.

“Could Divine Arrow Peak have taken on a new disciple?”

The entry requirements for Divine Arrow Peak’s Yi’s Archery were extremely difficult. Currently, there were only two people on the entire Divine Arrow Peak: the current Peak Master Li Chang Feng and his disciple Li Chang Hen.

“Regardless, I need to leave first!”

The woman in white didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly ran away.

Forget about Li Chang Feng, even Li Chang Hen was an opponent she couldn’t match.

She didn’t want to risk her life betting on whether or not her identity would be recognized if she was discovered.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Zhou Chen gasped for breath, his whole body weak, feeling as if he had been emptied. He sat down on the ground with a thud.

Thinking of that terrifying nunnery, Zhou Chen was filled with lingering fear, his back turning cold, as if an icy ghost hand was stroking his spine, sending shivers down his scalp.

He forced himself to look up despite his fear and discovered that the nunnery had disappeared. In front of him was a forest, as if everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

But Zhou Chen knew it wasn’t an illusion.

“Damn it, that was truly terrifying!”

Zhou Chen’s consciousness turned to the Wind and Moon Mirror and saw that Ji Feng Xia had fainted, but she should be fine.

At the same time.

Zhou Chen felt that his control over the Wind and Moon Mirror seemed to have reached a new level.

He seemed to be able to place items into the Wind and Moon Mirror space.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen focused his mind and the storage pouch in his hand appeared in the Wind and Moon Mirror space. But his vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

He had just consumed too much energy and was almost completely drained.

“It seems it’s related to my strength or soul power!”

Confirming that he could place items into the Wind and Moon Mirror space, Zhou Chen felt slightly comforted. Now he had a hidden storage treasure.

After catching his breath a little, Zhou Chen slowly retreated while leaning on his saber. He didn’t dare to move forward anymore.

“It’s getting dark soon. I must return before nightfall, or who knows what I might encounter!”

Zhou Chen was anxious, but he was exhausted and had no Romance Points left.

“No, at this rate, I won’t be able to get out of the forest!”

Zhou Chen found a relatively open space to sit down, his soul entering the Wind and Moon Mirror space. He picked up the unconscious Ji Feng Xia.

He could only make her suffer a little for now.

Ji Feng Xia: This is truly miserable!

Entering Ji Feng Xia’s boudoir, Zhou Chen felt his entire soul become clear, his mental exhaustion quickly disappearing.

Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up. It seemed the Wind and Moon Mirror was very useful for his recovery.

【Romance Point +1】

【Romance Point +1】

…

Zhou Chen directly added them to Yi’s Archery. As several Romance Points were added, Zhou Chen felt his physical strength recover significantly.

Especially since his soul was recovering well within the Wind and Moon Mirror, he immediately split off a strand of consciousness to control his body and quickly descend the mountain.

With his mind multitasking, Romance Points continued to increase, Zhou Chen kept adding points, and his soul continued to recover.

He not only didn’t feel tired but his speed became faster and faster, and his strength continuously recovered.

Half an hour later.

The sky had completely darkened, and Zhou Chen had already returned to the gate of Qing He City.

“Phew!”

Letting out a long sigh of relief, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly. This time was truly too dangerous.

“Fortunately, I spent the entire night at Zhang Long’s house last night and gained two thousand Romance Points that I didn’t use. Otherwise, I would have been in danger today!”

Zhou Chen secretly felt lucky. If he had used those two thousand Romance Points earlier, although his strength would have increased a bit, the slight increase in cultivation would definitely not have allowed him to escape that terrifying existence.

His escape today was entirely due to adding points, coupled with the breakthrough at the brink of death, the sudden enlightenment of a killing move, and comprehending Arrow Intent.

“This time, I must save up more Romance Points for emergencies!”

Zhou Chen reflected on the lessons learned and secretly made a decision:
“First, save two thousand, no, two thousand is too little, not enough to turn the tide of battle. First, save five thousand, and in the future, keep five thousand as emergency funds, only to be used in dangerous situations, to turn the tables against the wind and escape from danger!”

Romance Points were like cash, extremely useful.

Especially the healing and recovery function that came with adding points, which was particularly important for survival.

For example, when escaping, if he was about to reach safety but didn’t have enough stamina, if he had backup Romance Points at that time, even if he couldn’t fully recover, he could at least regain enough strength to escape.

Also, some people might say, wouldn’t it be better to directly use them to increase strength?

But many times, the dangers and troubles encountered couldn’t be solved by just a small increase in strength.

For example, being trapped in a formation, what was the difference between Body Refinement Level Three and Body Refinement Level Four? Even Body Refinement Level Five or Six wouldn’t be useful.

But what about having Romance Points?

In the storage pouches of the two cultivators he had killed, there was a book on basic formations. He could add points to formations, and maybe he could break the formation.

Or, for example, if a powerful figure wanted to see him, but his Breath Concealment Technique wasn’t at a high enough level, it would definitely be seen through, and then there would be trouble.

If he had Romance Points, he could immediately add points to Breath Concealment Technique, and thus easily solve the problem.

The biggest advantage of saving Romance Points was that he could add them wherever needed.

It could allow him to face all sorts of sudden dangers more calmly. After all, adding points was just an instant thing.

This was a trump card for survival.

On the contrary, without Romance Point savings, encountering trouble would truly be a case of “a penny can stump a hero,” or even endanger his life.

Just like earlier, if he hadn’t had over two thousand Romance Points saved, he might have perished in the nunnery.

“Lord Zhou, are you alright?”

The constable guarding the gate saw Zhou Chen’s pale face, his tattered and disheveled appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and asked:

“Has the County Captain returned?”

“Not yet.”

“Understood!”

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and decided to return to the county government office first.

A moment later.

Zhou Chen saw Chen Fan with an anxious expression at the county government office.

“Zhou Chen, how did it go? Where’s Zhang Long?”

Chen Fan rushed over, grabbing Zhou Chen’s shoulders, looking at Zhou Chen’s eyes with nervousness and apprehension.

“Sir, Miss Chen is safe…”

Zhou Chen said carefully.

Chen Fan first relaxed, then his brows furrowed. Having been the County Magistrate for many years, how could he not understand the meaning behind Zhou Chen’s words?

Safe, meaning something had still happened.

“The reinforcements arranged by Sir were discovered. We stormed the bandit stronghold and rescued Miss Chen, but she had already been… violated by the bandits.”

“The bandit leader Tie Xiong and Lü Xiao escaped in the chaos. The County Captain and I split up to pursue them. I chased down Lü Xiao and killed him, but then I encountered something strange…”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen was filled with lingering fear, and the look of terror on his face wasn’t feigned.

“I ran for my life all the way and luckily made it back. I don’t know what happened to the County Captain and the others afterward!”

Zhou Chen gave a brief report of the events.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow in his heart, and patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder, comforting him:

“You’ve worked hard. I’ll give you seven days off. Go back and have a good rest!”

“Thank you, Sir!”

Zhou Chen bid farewell and hurriedly left.

He didn’t want to worry about the aftermath, just wanting to go back and have a good sleep.

“Brother Chen!”

When Qin Hong Yu opened the door and saw Zhou Chen’s disheveled appearance, she was startled, tears welling up in her eyes:

“Brother Chen, are you alright? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine!”

Zhou Chen closed the door and entered the house with Qin Hong Yu, smiling: “I’m not injured, just my clothes were torn by branches!”

“I’ll go boil some water for you to bathe!”

Qin Hong Yu quickly boiled a large pot of water. After adjusting the temperature in the wooden tub, Zhou Chen went to the bathroom to wash up.

As the hot water poured over his face, Zhou Chen took a deep breath, the gloom in his heart dissipating quite a bit.

A while later.

The tub of water emptied, and Qin Hong Yu brought in another bucket of hot water.

Looking at Zhou Chen’s strong and masculine body, his jade-like skin without a single scar, she was completely relieved.

Qin Hong Yu’s fair hand picked up a towel and gently wiped Zhou Chen’s back.

A moment later.

Zhou Chen turned to look at Qin Hong Yu. Even though he had seen her countless times, Qin Hong Yu still didn’t dare to look at him directly, her heart pounding.

So scary!

Her face flushed, as if she had a fever, becoming burning hot.

Zhou Chen lifted Qin Hong Yu up in his arms and strode into the room.

Rip.

“Ah, my clothes are ruined…”

“Out with the old, in with the new. I’ll buy you new ones tomorrow!”

“You’re hurting me…”

The night was passionate.

Spring was in full bloom.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its gentle moonlight down, covering the earth with a holy veil.

Holding Qin Hong Yu, who embraced him in her arms, feeling each other’s warmth and closeness, Zhou Chen let out a long breath.

The previous eerie coldness, like an icy ghost hand slowly sliding down his spine, was dispelled.

This world was truly dangerous!
It was much more comfortable in Qin Hong Yu’s warm little nest!
So comforting!
