Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 52

Chapter 52: One Man Takes Down an Entire Building, Setting Off

Outside Qing He City.
Zhou Chen shook off the enthusiastic Chen Fan and the others.

That evening, Chen Fan hosted a banquet and invited Zhou Chen, wanting to give him a farewell.

Zhou Chen couldn’t refuse the warm hospitality.

Zhang Long invited Zhou Chen to his home, setting up a banquet to see him off.

Zhou Chen agreed to go tomorrow.

Arriving outside the city, guided by Liu Ru Yi, Zhou Chen easily found the storage pouch of Bai Ru Yun that Liu Ru Yi had hidden.

As a veteran cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, Bai Ru Yun was the most powerful cultivator Zhou Chen had encountered, so the contents of his storage pouch surely wouldn’t disappoint.

After obtaining the storage pouch, Zhou Chen immediately returned home and inventoried the items inside.

Several dozen spirit stones.

Various pills and medicinal herbs.

Dozens of secret manuals.

There were cultivation methods and spells for both immortality cultivation and martial arts, as well as poison manuals, medical texts, basics of alchemy, basics of artifact refinement, basics of array formations, and so on.

Although none of them were particularly profound, they were all common goods, but there was a truly diverse collection of odds and ends.

This old fellow must have killed and looted quite a bit.

Otherwise, his belongings wouldn’t be so varied.

“Supreme Bliss Divine Art?”

Zhou Chen picked up a secret manual and examined it carefully, discovering that although the cultivation method wasn’t low-level, it was incomplete.

“The ten corpses of young girls I saw that day, who had been subjected to dual cultivation practices, must have been victims of this cultivation method…”

Zhou Chen thought to himself, the manual contained the method of gathering Yin to supplement Yang.

Tossing it aside casually, Zhou Chen continued examining the other manuals.

Fireball Technique, Ice Spike Technique, Earth Escape Technique…

“Unfortunately, pleasant surprises don’t come often.”

Zhou Chen shook his head, somewhat disappointed:

“I’m clearly not the kind of protagonist destined to pick up a world-shattering divine art or a fragment of a celestial artifact, or even a piece of a treasure map just by killing someone!”

Although somewhat disappointed, Zhou Chen wasn’t discouraged.

He hadn’t held high expectations in the first place.

Bai Ru Yun had reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement only after living for over a hundred years, couldn’t make it in the cultivation world, and even practiced the evil art of gathering Yin to supplement Yang. What good treasures could he possibly have?

The probability of finding something valuable was too low.

“Brother Chen, what should we bring?”

Qin Hong Yu asked, feeling both excited and apprehensive.

She was just a country girl; she hadn’t expected to enter the city only to be on her way to Azure Cloud Sect, the legendary great sect, so soon.

“No need to bring anything. Azure Cloud Sect has everything, and if we need anything, we can just buy it then!”

Zhou Chen took out a storage pouch and handed it to Qin Hong Yu:
“This is a storage pouch. It has a space inside where you can store things.”

“Put anything you want to bring inside.”

Now Zhou Chen had several storage pouches in his possession, and with the Wind and Moon Mirror space, the storage pouch was just for show.

Truly valuable items were kept in the Wind and Moon Mirror space.

It was a shame that the Wind and Moon Mirror couldn’t hold living people like Qin Hong Yu; he didn’t know if it was because his power wasn’t sufficient or if the space couldn’t accommodate living beings with flesh and blood.

“A storage pouch!?”

Qin Hong Yu played with it curiously; she hadn’t expected such a small pouch to contain a space the size of a room, it was truly magical.

Zhou Chen reached out and embraced Qin Hong Yu, parting her legs as she sat on his lap, whispering in her ear:

“The County Magistrate is hosting a banquet for me tonight; I’ll probably be back very late or not at all. You should rest early!”

“Mmm, I understand!”

Qin Hong Yu nodded.

“It’s still early, let’s review the Wind and Moon Secret Record again!”

Zhou Chen’s An Lushan’s Claw reached into Qin Hong Yu’s skirt, pulling her full and shapely buttocks towards the couch.

“You bad boy!”

Qin Hong Yu gripped the edge of the couch tightly, glancing back at Zhou Chen with a playful glare. She felt that if Zhou Chen wasn’t always out and about, she would probably be ruined.

“The Master said: ‘Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application?'”

Zhou Chen chuckled, embracing Qin Hong Yu’s soft waist from behind.

“Mmm…hmm…”

Qin Hong Yu’s snow-white neck arched, her red lips slightly parted, her three thousand strands of black hair swaying freely with her body’s movements.

Inside the Wind and Moon Mirror.

Zhou Chen’s soul embraced Liu Ru Yi, her long, slender legs wrapped around his waist like pythons as she looked up at him:

“You big liar!”

“What did I lie to you about?”

Zhou Chen was bewildered; he hadn’t lied to Liu Ru Yi recently.

“What did you lie about?”

Liu Ru Yi glared at him fiercely, gnashing her teeth:

“Every time after, you would massage my abdomen. Initially, I thought you were being tender and helping me relieve fatigue.”

“But now I realize you were doing it to prevent me from getting pregnant!”

Thinking about how she had been full of anticipation every time before, Liu Ru Yi felt her teeth itch with anger. It was truly infuriating.

“How did you find out? And why are you so fixated on having children?”

Zhou Chen was a little surprised, and at the same time, he couldn’t understand why Liu Ru Yi wanted children so much.

“How did I find out?”

Liu Ru Yi snorted: “I’m cultivating my soul now. You secretly extinguished all the active cells. How could I not notice?”

Zhou Chen suddenly understood. Liu Ru Yi’s soul perception was extremely strong now. When she discovered that the originally living cells had become dead cells after his massage, she naturally understood everything.

“As for children…”

Liu Ru Yi fell into reminiscence. After a long while, she slowly spoke:
“My mother told me, never fall in love with a man easily, but you must have your own child…”

Zhou Chen: “…”

“Do you still want children now?”

Zhou Chen asked.

“Can I still have children in my current state?”

Liu Ru Yi shook her head.

Although her realm had risen, her soul would become no different from a physical body, just like ascending to immortality. It was a Nascent Soul ascension, and she could still conceive and give birth like a normal person.

However, by then, she probably wouldn’t want children as much anymore.

“Don’t worry, although I deceived you about having children before and used a little trickery, I will always treat you well!”

Zhou Chen cupped Liu Ru Yi’s delicate face, leaning down to kiss her as he looked into her beautiful, watery eyes:

“You may not believe my words, but can’t you feel my passion?”

Liu Ru Yi: “…”

She really wanted to strangle this bastard with her legs!

Happy times always pass quickly.

The sun set in the west, the setting sun like blood.

Zhou Chen glanced at the increased 6,000 Romance Points and was very satisfied.

“Hong Yu, rest well, I’m leaving!”

Zhou Chen kissed Qin Hong Yu’s fair and smooth forehead and left.

Adjusting his belt, Zhou Chen headed towards Qing He Restaurant.

Qing He Restaurant was located on the Qing River. It was a large boat, or rather, a pleasure boat, but its class was higher than Snow Moon Workshop.

Tonight, County Magistrate Chen Fan was hosting a banquet here, having booked the entire Qing He Restaurant.

At this moment.

Chen Fan, Chen Dao, Zhang Long, and other high-ranking officials from the County Yamen had been waiting for a long time, with countless spies staring intently at the big boat.

They all wanted to know who Chen Fan was hosting a banquet for, to actually book the entire Qing He Restaurant. When Zhou Chen arrived, none of the spies paid him any attention, assuming he was just a guest accompanying someone else.

However, when Chen Fan and the others greeted Zhou Chen with smiles and immense enthusiasm, leading him into Qing He Restaurant, the surrounding spies were stunned.

County Magistrate Chen Fan booked Qing He Restaurant just to host Zhou Chen?
“Impossible!”

“Isn’t Zhou Chen just a country bumpkin at the second level of Body Refinement with no background?”

“Could Zhou Chen be the long-lost illegitimate son of some big shot?”

The spies couldn’t figure it out, but they immediately relayed the news to their respective masters.

Xiao Family.

“What? The County Magistrate is hosting a banquet for Zhou Chen?”

Xiao Family Head Xiao Dong’s eyes widened. He had considered countless possibilities, but he had never thought of Zhou Chen, who was at the second level of Body Refinement.

“Zhou Chen…”

For the County Magistrate, who was at the fifth level of Body Refinement, to treat him this way, Zhou Chen must be extraordinary, and his extraordinariness had only recently become apparent.

Or perhaps County Magistrate Chen Fan had just learned about Zhou Chen’s extraordinariness.

Thinking of the recent annihilation of the Salt Gang’s Qing He Branch, where the culprit was a divine archer, and Zhou Chen happened to use a bow, Xiao Dong shuddered, a terrifying possibility suddenly occurring to him:

“Could Zhou Chen be the culprit and also know Yi’s Archery!?”

If Zhou Chen was just the culprit, even if he possessed the seventh or eighth level of Body Refinement, Chen Fan would have kept his distance.

Because the seventh or eighth level of Body Refinement was nothing in front of the Salt Gang.

But if Zhou Chen knew Yi’s Archery, that would be a different story.

Yi’s Archery was a secret transmission of Divine Arrow Peak of Azure Cloud Sect.

It was highly likely that Zhou Chen had become a disciple of Peak Master Li Chang Feng of Divine Arrow Peak. That was a true disciple of Azure Cloud Sect!

This identity was enough for Chen Fan to curry favor with him.

“I must find out!”

Xiao Dong thought to himself.

However, it was not appropriate for him to go directly, let alone send someone to inquire. He could only wait until the banquet was over and then visit Chen Fan, Chen Dao, and the others.

The other two families and the Branch Master of the Fishermen’s Gang had similar thoughts.

Meanwhile.

Upstairs at Qing He Restaurant, Zhou Chen was surrounded by Chen Fan and the others as they took their seats. Beautiful women surrounded him, and more than a dozen beauties sang and danced before him, a scene of extravagant indulgence.

“I can’t believe that our small Qing He County has produced a true dragon. I raise a glass to Young Master, wishing you a bright future and a prosperous martial path!”

Chen Fan raised his glass and said with a hearty laugh.

“Thank you, County Magistrate!”

Zhou Chen lifted his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The beautiful woman sitting on his lap extended her fair hand, picking up the jade pot and refilling Zhou Chen’s glass.

With everyone intentionally trying to please him, the banquet was filled with lively conversation and laughter, a harmonious atmosphere of enjoyment.

After a satisfying meal, it was time for the final entertainment.

After presenting their gifts, Chen Fan and the others left, each with two beautiful women in tow. The rest remained with Zhou Chen, a bevy of beauties, as if he had entered a kingdom of women.

“This humble servant has long heard of Young Master’s unparalleled combat prowess, capable of taking on ten at once. Unfortunately, Young Master has never visited us, so we have not had the privilege of witnessing it!”

Dressed in red, the voluptuous and alluring San Niang embraced Zhou Chen’s arm, her eyes like water, her red lips slightly parted, her charm unmatched.

“Then let San Niang have a good look today!”

Zhou Chen smiled brightly and didn’t waste any time.

Time is money.

Time is life.

Wasting it is shameful.

Zhou Chen always made the most of his time, treating one unit of time as two.

The next day.

Past noon.

Zhou Chen and Chen Fan and the others left Qing He Restaurant. After they left, the restaurant’s madam, Yi Jie, went to Zhou Chen’s room and was stunned.

“Gasp!”

Yi Jie’s body stiffened, shocked to her core.

She had heard of Zhou Chen’s feat of taking on ten at once at Snow Moon Workshop, but she hadn’t witnessed it personally.

However, today she saw it…

Zhou Chen didn’t just take on ten.

He single-handedly took down the entire Qing He Restaurant.

Terrifying!
Zhou Chen looked at the 10,000 Romance Points that had surged and felt proud of himself.

After bidding farewell to Chen Fan, Zhang Long, and the others, Zhou Chen returned home to check on Qin Hong Yu and to compensate her.

“You big bad boy, are you made of iron?”

Qin Hong Yu chided him playfully.

“This is the power of being exceptionally gifted, harder than iron, stronger than steel…”

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but hum, causing Qin Hong Yu to roll her eyes.

It wasn’t until the afternoon.

That Zhou Chen left home and headed to Zhang Long’s residence.

Thinking about the strength of breast milk…

Zhou Chen missed the taste of Hong Xiu a little.

Zhou Chen handed the prepared Yang Ding Tian formula to Zhang Long, entrusting him with managing this business, with the same profit split as before.

Actually, Zhou Chen wasn’t short of money now.

However, Zhang Long had been good to him, and this business served as a bond between them. With his reputation, Zhang Long should be able to do well in the future.

The two of them drank for a while, and Zhou Chen stayed there for another night.

The next day.

The sun was high in the sky.

Zhou Chen drank some milk offered by Hong Xiu before leaving Zhang’s residence.

Zhang Long wanted to gift Hong Xiu and the others to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen declined.

In the end.

Zhang Long gave Zhou Chen one thousand taels of silver as a congratulatory gift.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to accept.

However, as soon as he left Zhang’s residence, Zhou Chen was surrounded by the heads of the three great families and the Branch Master of the Fishermen’s Gang, who invited him to a banquet.

They had already received news that Zhou Chen had become a disciple of Li Chang Feng of Divine Arrow Peak of Azure Cloud Sect.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, but I’m leaving tomorrow and really don’t have the time.”

Zhou Chen declined.

However, they were clearly unwilling to give up. In the end, the four families jointly invited Zhou Chen to Qing He Restaurant for a night of entertainment, presenting him with generous gifts along the way.

The four families combined gave him a total of twenty thousand taels of silver.

Leaving behind the girls of Qing He Restaurant, who had endured another arduous night, Zhou Chen returned home to find Li Chang Feng and Li Chang Hen already waiting for him.

“Master, Senior Sister!”

Zhou Chen touched his nose and called out awkwardly.

“You’ve been having quite a time, haven’t you, kid!”

Li Chang Feng teased him.

He was clearly aware of Zhou Chen’s activities over the past three days.

“I couldn’t refuse their warm hospitality!”

Zhou Chen smiled. Under Li Chang Hen’s disdainful gaze, he gathered his belongings, took Qin Hong Yu with him, and set off with Li Chang Feng and Li Chang Hen towards Azure Cloud Sect.

A new journey had begun!

He wondered what the taste of the courtesans in the prefectural city would be like?
