Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Tracking Technique Equals Radar, A Nighttime Rendezvous with the Widow

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, the fresh scent of grass and wood mingled with the earthy aroma of the soil, assaulting Zhou Chen’s nostrils as he strode along the mountain path, feeling pleased with himself.
I have to say, having a woman at home is awesome!
And no need to talk about any bullshit love.

I can focus on making money without delaying my progress in becoming stronger.

“I now have twenty-seven Romance Points. Grand Completion in Archery requires eighty points, and Minor Achievement in Tracking requires forty…”

Zhou Chen observed his personal panel with a sliver of his consciousness:

“I wonder if I need to max it out to get the full effect, or if adding a single point will yield some results?”

Zhou Chen decided to give it a try.

“Should I add to Archery or Tracking?”

“I have the Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, which greatly enhances my archery. Even Minor Achievement in Archery is comparable to Grand Completion, allowing me to hit any prey within sight with perfect accuracy…”

“Even if I improve to Grand Completion in Archery, the hunting effect will be the same as Minor Achievement. What I need most now is not archery, but Tracking…”

Zhou Chen quickly made up his mind.

Tracking Technique is like radar. Not only can it allow him to track prey more effectively and gain more, but it can also allow him to discover danger in advance, making him safer and more secure.

If he were to encounter a tiger ambush, there would be no difference between Minor Achievement and Grand Completion in Archery. He would probably only be able to shoot one arrow before the tiger charged at him, or perhaps he wouldn’t even have time to shoot.

But if his Tracking Technique was stronger, it would be different.

He could discover the ambushing tiger or other dangers in advance, allowing him to choose to counter-ambush or avoid them altogether.

In short, Tracking Technique is equivalent to radar and intelligence information.

Without powerful radar and intelligence, he would be a blind man or a headless fly.

If his archery hadn’t reached the point of being able to penetrate everything, then it was definitely not as useful as Tracking Technique.

Besides, Grand Completion in Archery wasn’t very useful to him at the moment.

Was there a difference between hitting a target with 100% accuracy within a hundred paces and hitting a target with 100% accuracy within one hundred and fifty paces?

He didn’t need to hunt prey that was beyond a hundred paces away at all.

“Tracking Technique, add points!”

Zhou Chen added all twenty-seven Romance Points to it, and a profound feeling surged into his heart.

He felt as if he had come to a jungle, living and learning within it, interacting with various plants and animals every day, studying their habits, and sensing their breath and traces.

Day after day.

His eyes became sharper.

His ears became more sensitive.

His nose became keener.

His tongue became more agile and sensitive, able to discern even more subtle differences…

“My Tracking Technique has improved again. It seems like adding a point does indeed make it stronger. It’s a pity that I’m still thirteen points away from Minor Achievement!”

Zhou Chen sighed slightly, using his improved Tracking Technique to search for prey.

He sniffed with his nose and quickly caught the scent of prey.

He stealthily approached and discovered it was wolf droppings.

Based on the freshness of the droppings, Zhou Chen knew that the wolf had left them last night.

“There are no traces of other wolf packs nearby. It should be a lone wolf!”

Zhou Chen quickly followed the traces left by the lone wolf. He encountered some other prey along the way, and he accepted them all.

Although he didn’t have any cultivation techniques, he could rely on food to strengthen his body at this stage.

Especially with his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, he could massage himself to aid digestion, strengthen his body, and increase his strength.

He was only eighteen years old, and his physical functions had not yet reached their peak.

“Another little spicy strip!”

Zhou Chen flicked his finger, and a stone shot out, smashing the head of a small green snake coiled on a branch.

Although his Tracking Technique had not yet reached Minor Achievement, it wasn’t far off.

He had keen eyesight, sharp hearing, and a keen sense of smell, making him aware of any dangers in his surroundings.

“This Tracking Technique is truly amazing. I need to max it out as soon as possible. It’ll be like installing a super radar for myself. I won’t have to worry about being ambushed by fierce beasts or poisonous snakes in the future!”

Zhou Chen decided to go back early and work hard with Qin Hong Yu, striving to reach Minor Achievement in Tracking Technique by tomorrow.

An hour later.

Zhou Chen had already bagged four hares, two pheasants, and several other small prey.

“That lone wolf should be just ahead!”

Zhou Chen nocked an arrow on his bow, cautiously searching as he advanced.

Finally.

He saw the lone wolf resting under a large tree.

At this moment, it also sensed Zhou Chen’s presence and abruptly stood up. However, an arrow shot out, piercing its forehead.

“Howl!”

The lone wolf howled mournfully, struggling to get up but staggering back to the ground. Its limbs thrashed about, its body convulsing. Even though it had been shot in the forehead, it didn’t die instantly.

However, death soon arrived.

Zhou Chen approached with a smile, picking up the lifeless wolf:

“Today’s hunt, successfully concluded!”

Loaded with prey, Zhou Chen walked with a carefree and cheerful expression, his steps light.

He picked some wild vegetables on the way back home.

“Oh, Xiao Chen, you actually hunted a wolf today?”

“Xiao Chen is getting more and more impressive!”

“An arrow right between the eyes. Xiao Chen’s archery is no less than Old Man Cao’s, surpassing his master!”

Seeing that Zhou Chen had hunted a wolf and so much prey, the people around him looked at him differently.

The strong are respected everywhere.

“Look at you, you can’t even catch two rabbits in three days. You’re truly useless!”

A woman complained about her husband.

“Hunting often depends on luck. Xiao Chen must be lucky. I’ve never seen him hunt anything before. I think it’s Lady Zhou who brings him good fortune!”

“What did you say? Are you saying that you’ve been unlucky since marrying me?”

“No! That’s not what I meant!”

“Then what do you mean?”

… Zhou Chen ignored the surrounding discussions and returned home with his prey.

Qin Hong Yu, who had been paying attention to the outside, immediately noticed Zhou Chen and hurried out to greet him. She reached out to help him take down the back basket.

“Wow, Chen Ge’er, you even hunted a wolf, and there are so many hares and pheasants…”

Qin Hong Yu’s beautiful eyes lit up. In these times, it was difficult to even have enough to eat, let alone meat. And these prey were all meat!

“Chen Ge’er, you’re so amazing. It’s truly a blessing that I could marry you!”

Qin Hong Yu clung to Zhou Chen’s arm and shook it constantly. After Zhou Chen’s miraculous rejuvenation, her breasts had become as magnificent as the fourth letter of the alphabet, pressing against him like a mountain.

Zhou Chen put down his bow, arrows, firewood chopper, and other weapons, wrapped his arms around Qin Hong Yu’s slender waist, lifted her up, spun her around twice in the air, and then lowered his head to fiercely capture her rosy lips.

[Romance Points +1]

A long time passed.

Qin Hong Yu was almost out of breath when Zhou Chen finally released her. Her eyes were watery, and her legs felt weak.

“You’re so annoying!”

Qin Hong Yu’s cheeks were flushed. She quickly straightened her clothes and skirt, giving Zhou Chen a playful glare:
“You always start acting up as soon as you get back!”

“Who can resist when Hong Yu is so beautiful? It’s irresistible!”

Zhou Chen chuckled. This line would have been outdated in his previous life, but Qin Hong Yu blushed at his words, her heart pounding like a drum, feeling incredibly sweet.

“Hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat!”

Qin Hong Yu rolled her eyes at him and turned to enter the kitchen, swaying her plump and perfect hips.

Zhou Chen’s Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand naturally played a role in shaping those perfect hips.

“Now that you mention it, I’m really hungry!”

Zhou Chen went to the washstand nearby. There was a basin on it, filled with half a basin of clean water that Qin Hong Yu had prepared for him.

Zhou Chen lifted his hand, flicking some water droplets from his fingers. He casually washed his hands and then splashed his face with cold water using a towel.

“Refreshing!”

After wringing out the towel and hanging it up, Zhou Chen felt refreshed. A faint aroma of meat drifted over, tickling his nostrils.

Qin Hong Yu brought the already prepared dishes to the table and filled a large bowl with rice for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen sat down and began to eat heartily.

He had left to hunt in the mountains around eight or nine in the morning and it was now around five in the afternoon. He was indeed very hungry.

“Chen Ge’er, my dad seems to be secretly involved with Widow Chen. I heard he even went to her house last night!”

Qin Hong Yu shared the news she had received today: “I went back to take a look, and my dad didn’t come home until noon!”

“Your dad is a man too. It’s normal for him to want a woman. Besides, Widow Chen doesn’t have a husband. It’s not a big deal!”

Zhou Chen said casually.

“Actually, if my dad really gets together with Widow Chen, I think it wouldn’t be bad!”

Qin Hong Yu nodded. Her mother had passed away two years ago.

“Hmm.”

As they chatted casually, Zhou Chen finished three bowls of rice, finally feeling full.

Qin Hong Yu began to clear the dishes.

Gazing at the beautiful figure of his beloved, Zhou Chen, who had just finished his meal, felt his heart stir with desire.

A full stomach thinks of English.

He reached out and embraced Qin Hong Yu’s soft waist.

“Don’t be naughty. It won’t be too late after I finish cleaning up!”

Qin Hong Yu glared at Zhou Chen, scolding him playfully.

“What’s there to clean up? We can wash them later!”

Zhou Chen scooped Qin Hong Yu up by her legs, carrying her horizontally as he strode towards the bedroom, ignoring her shy and reproachful gaze.

…

The golden crow sank in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

The night was as tranquil as water, and all was silent.

Old Man Qin, with an excited heart, left his house in the middle of the night and stealthily made his way to Widow Chen’s house.

“Xiao Chen, I’m here. Open the door!”

Old Man Qin whispered towards the house, his face full of anticipation and excitement.

However, there was no response even after a long time.

“What’s going on? Could it be that Xiao Chen isn’t home?”

Old Man Qin wondered:

“Where could Xiao Chen have gone so late at night? Could she be fooling around with another wild man?”

“Old Qin, I’m over here!”

Widow Chen waved to Old Man Qin from under a large tree.

“Xiao Chen, why are you outside?”

Old Man Qin hurried over, excitedly grabbing Widow Chen’s pale hand. It was ice-cold.

“Old Qin, I found a good place. Come with me!”

Widow Chen pulled Old Man Qin and walked towards the back mountain.

“What good place?”

Old Man Qin was puzzled and frowned:

“The back mountain isn’t safe at night. There are often wild beasts around!”

“Don’t worry, it’s not far. There’s a good treasure there!”

Widow Chen shook Old Man Qin’s arm:

“Would I harm you? Do you still want to do ‘that’ with me?”

“Alright, alright, let’s go!”

Although he said that, Old Man Qin had already decided that if it was too far, he wouldn’t go.

A woman might be pleasurable, but his life was more valuable.
