Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Life as Cheap as Grass

“Branch Master Shi Lei of the Qing He Branch leads the disciples of the branch to respectfully welcome Retainer Bai!”

Shi Lei cupped his hands in salute, his voice booming like a great bell, full of energy.

Although he was at the fifth level of Body Refinement, only one realm lower than Bai Ru Yun, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, the difference in their status was significant.

Although the Martial Path was not weaker than the Immortal Path, in reality, among those of the same level, cultivators generally held a higher status than martial artists.

At least, this was the case in the early stages of cultivation.

Moreover, in the early stages of cultivation, cultivators were generally stronger than martial artists of the same level. After all, cultivators had numerous techniques and could control flying swords for long-range attacks.

When ordinary martial artists encountered cultivators, they would often be killed by flying swords before they could even get close.

Furthermore, cultivating immortality required a spiritual root, which was extremely rare. Cultivators were often arrogant and looked down upon martial artists who focused on physical cultivation.

“Branch Master Shi, there’s no need for formalities!”

Although Bai Ru Yun’s hair and beard were completely white, his body was still nimble and agile. As he walked, it was as if he was riding the wind, full of grandeur, with the appearance of an immortal.

He glanced at Shi Lei indifferently. Although his words were polite, the arrogance in his eyes was evident.

“Retainer Bai, you must be tired from your journey. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust of your travels!”

Although Shi Lei felt annoyed, he had to rely on Bai Ru Yun. Moreover, the other party was superior to him in both strength and status. He could only force a smile and say:

“Retainer Bai, this way please!”

As he spoke, he personally lifted the curtain of a sedan chair that had been prepared beforehand, his demeanor full of fawning servility.

Bai Ru Yun moved like the wind, lightly floating into the sedan chair.

His two personal maidservants followed closely behind. The sedan chair was quite spacious, so even with three people inside, it did not feel crowded.

The two maidservants massaged Bai Ru Yun’s legs and back, while his hands had already reached inside their skirts.

Shi Lei quickly lowered the curtain, his expression unchanged.

He had long known that Bai Ru Yun was extremely lecherous. For this reason, he had specially prepared ten young virgins to entertain him.

“Let’s go!”

Shi Lei got into another sedan chair, and the Salt Gang procession returned in a grand manner. People retreated wherever they passed, as if avoiding venomous snakes.

“How laughable the mortal world is, infatuation is the most pointless. It’s better to look down upon everything.”

“This life is unfinished, but my heart is already undisturbed. I only want to exchange it for half a lifetime of freedom.”

“Smile at people when awake, forget everything in dreams, sigh that the night comes too early…”

Zhou Chen left Liu Ru Yi’s warm little home, humming a song, his mood cheerful.

Free sex makes me happy!

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but reminisce about Liu Ru Yi’s beautiful and alluring jade-like body.

Her delicate, curved eyebrows, her fragrant mouth, her rosy cheeks, her fair and delicate face, her graceful figure, her slender jade-like hands, her slender waist, her soft belly, her dainty feet, her plump breasts, her white and smooth legs…

“Out of the way!”

“Make way!”

“Are you blind?!”

While Zhou Chen was still reminiscing about those plump breasts, a series of rough shouts came from ahead. Pedestrians on the street quickly moved aside, as if avoiding venomous snakes.

Zhou Chen followed the crowd and moved aside, but he felt very annoyed.

He looked up and saw a group of Salt Gang disciples holding weapons, clearing the way ahead with fierce expressions. Behind them were two luxurious and spacious sedan chairs.

Each sedan chair was carried by four tall, strong, and powerful men.

The eight men’s steps were steady and powerful. At a glance, it was clear that they were martial artists, probably around the late stage of the first level of Body Refinement.

“One should be Shi Lei, the Branch Master of the Salt Gang’s Qing He Branch. Who is the other one?”

Zhou Chen pondered. To be qualified to ride in the same type of sedan chair as Shi Lei, and even walk ahead of him, the other person’s status was obviously extraordinary.

No one in the Salt Gang branch deserved such treatment.

At this moment, the sedan chair passed in front of Zhou Chen. He was sharp-eyed and caught a glimpse of the person inside through a corner of the window.

It was an old man with white hair and beard.

However, this old man was still vigorous and strong, not forgetting to play with the two maidservants attending to him even inside the sedan chair.

“It’s a cultivator!”

As the thought flashed through Zhou Chen’s mind, Ji Feng Xia’s voice sounded in his head:

“Master, that old man should be a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement!”

She was currently at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, not far from the sixth level.

She could vaguely sense Bai Ru Yun’s cultivation level.

“A cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement?”

Zhou Chen’s heart stirred, and he immediately thought of the matter of killing Shi Bao Yu.

“Could it be that Shi Lei has invited reinforcements to find the murderer of Shi Bao Yu?”

Zhou Chen became vigilant and kept an eye out.

He planned to pay close attention. If the other party really had some special technique that could track him down, then he would have no choice but to silence them.

With his current strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

Especially rogue cultivators like Bai Ru Yun, who had clearly exhausted their potential and couldn’t make it in the cultivation world, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill them.

It was getting late. Zhou Chen returned home and decided to visit Zhang Long tomorrow to inquire about the other party’s background and identity.

“Brother Chen, you’re back!”

Seeing Zhou Chen return home, Qin Hong Yu quickly put down her sword, her tired eyes filled with excitement as she welcomed him.

“Good, you didn’t slack off!”

Zhou Chen wrapped his arm around Qin Hong Yu’s slender waist, using his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to massage her, relaxing the muscles and bones that were overworked from her training.

“Mmm…”

Qin Hong Yu’s body instantly went limp in Zhou Chen’s embrace, her beautiful eyes like water, her long legs tightly closed, leaving no gap between them.

She opened her red lips slightly, but couldn’t utter a single word. The more pain and exhaustion she had endured during her training, the more comfortable Zhou Chen’s massage felt.

【Romance Point +1】

After helping Qin Hong Yu recover, Zhou Chen let go of her and casually wiped the sweat from his hands.

“Brother Chen, I’m going to wash up!”

Qin Hong Yu blushed and quickly ran into the kitchen.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

A white figure darted out from the side. Zhou Chen reached out and grabbed the little white fox by the scruff of its neck.

Placing the little white fox on his lap, Zhou Chen rubbed its furry little head, noticing that the little creature had become even more spirited under his care. Its fur was glossy and smooth, clearly not ordinary.

【Romance Point +1】

As Zhou Chen stroked the little fox’s back, his thoughts wandered. Would he one day wake up to find a naked fox-eared girl beside him?

The night was like water, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

After dinner and washing up, Zhou Chen embraced Qin Hong Yu and slipped into the warm bed. They kissed, their bodies inseparable.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Hong Yu’s face was flushed red, like a ripe peach, her almond-shaped eyes watery, like a spring river.

She lay in Zhou Chen’s arms, her arms propping herself up on either side of him, her jade-like hand supporting her fragrant cheek, her breath like orchids as she spoke:

“Brother Chen, there are still rooms in the house. Why don’t you buy a couple of beautiful maidservants to serve you together?”

“Why do you suddenly want me to buy maidservants? Do you want to be a young mistress?”

Zhou Chen teased, looking at Qin Hong Yu’s breasts.

“Of course not!”

Glancing at Zhou Chen, Qin Hong Yu snorted:

“It’s not because you’re so strong! Besides, Brother Chen is considered a big shot now. How can you not have a few maidservants to wait on you?”

Qin Hong Yu had also heard about Zhou Chen’s nickname, “Prince of Snow Moon Workshop.” Although she felt a little jealous, she didn’t mind.

This was the custom of this world. Going to the Snow Moon Workshop was considered stylish. Which man didn’t go there?

It was perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

She was able to live in the city, enjoy a prosperous life, have endless meat to eat, beautiful clothes to wear, and even practice martial arts. All of this was given to her by Zhou Chen.

What else could she be dissatisfied with?

She wouldn’t demand that Zhou Chen could only have her as his only woman.

Everything she had was given by Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen didn’t want her, he could find countless beautiful women, but she couldn’t live without him.

Besides, Zhou Chen treated her so well, and she was very satisfied with her current life.

It was just that she alone couldn’t satisfy Zhou Chen.

“I’ll keep an eye out for maidservants. If I see any suitable ones, I’ll buy them!”

Zhou Chen wasn’t being insincere. In fact, it would be easy for him to buy a few beautiful maidservants. The reason he hadn’t bought any yet was because of his considerations.

Firstly, he didn’t trust maidservants.

Secondly, if he were to buy maidservants, they would definitely be concubines. But Zhou Chen couldn’t bring himself to treat maidservants as playthings like Zhang Long, discarding them at will.

If they encountered danger and had to flee, bringing one more person would increase the risk.

Therefore…

Recently, Zhou Chen had been going to the Snow Moon Workshop, focusing on physical pleasure without emotional attachment, a clear exchange of money for goods, without any burden.

As for Romance Points…

Going to the Snow Moon Workshop was much faster than playing with two maidservants at home.

Now he wasn’t short of that little bit of silver.

Moreover, he could play freely at the Snow Moon Workshop.

It wasn’t just two, even four, five, six, seven, or eight wouldn’t be a problem.

And since they weren’t his own, he wouldn’t feel bad if he broke them.

“Alright, let’s sleep!”

Zhou Chen tightened his arm around Qin Hong Yu, who was accepting of him, and kissed her forehead before closing his eyes to rest.

In reality, his soul was having a great time with Ji Feng Xia in the Wind and Moon Mirror space.

This was also a form of cultivation.

His soul, through dual cultivation with Ji Feng Xia in the Wind and Moon Mirror, was constantly growing stronger. The benefits of a strong soul were self-evident.

Qin Hong Yu nuzzled her head against Zhou Chen’s chest and soon fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.

…

Salt Gang’s Qing He Branch headquarters.

“Retainer Bai, I’d like to propose a toast to you!”

Shi Lei and other high-ranking members of the Salt Gang branch were accompanying Bai Ru Yun, welcoming him and washing away the dust of his travels.

After a hearty meal, Shi Lei escorted Bai Ru Yun back to his room to rest.

Ten young virgins were already waiting in the room for Bai Ru Yun’s enjoyment.

Bai Ru Yun entered the room and saw the beautiful women, all dressed up and full of youthful vitality. A smile finally appeared on his face, and he was very satisfied.

“Greetings, Master!”

The women bowed gracefully, their eyes filled with nervousness and apprehension.

They were all good and virtuous women who, due to various circumstances, ended up here. Although they had been trained and were forced to serve Bai Ru Yun…

…they were actually unwilling in their hearts.

It was just that there were too many things in this world that were beyond their control.

Some of them had been sold by their parents, some had been kidnapped, and some were here to pay off debts…
