Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 42 Daily Life: News of Chen Yunyi's Return Home

When I stepped out of the quiet room, the sun was already setting in the west; it was nearing dusk.

A gentle breeze in Fenglin Valley, carrying the moisture from the distant lake, softly caressed the courtyard.

It is late summer and early autumn. The daytime temperature is still very hot, but there is a slight coolness in the morning and evening, though it is not obvious.

This season is quite comfortable all day long, because even when the daytime temperature is the hottest, the valley's great ventilation system helps to regulate the temperature and prevents it from feeling stuffy.

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted across the courtyard, turning the bluestone slabs into a warm orange-red.

Under the eaves, Feng Momo sat barefoot on the railing, holding a blade of grass in her hand, teasing the koi fish in the stone jar.

"MoMo, be careful not to fall in."

Chen Qian approached with a smile.

Feng Momo turned around, her eyes sparkling: "Husband! Look at these fish! I've been feeding them for three days, and they finally recognize me!"

When she jumped down, her skirt fluttered, and her movements were light and agile, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Chen Qian took the opportunity to encircle her slender waist with explosive power and hold her delicate hand—it seemed it wasn't her.

Chen Qian turned his gaze to the main room.

Through the half-open carved window, you can see Chen Yunxi sitting at her desk, holding a pen in her delicate hand, seemingly copying something.

Su Jin knelt to the side, carefully grinding the ink, and occasionally whispered a reminder: "Miss, it's time to rest your eyes."

Chen Qian's heart stirred slightly, and he stepped forward.

When Su Jin saw the young master enter the room, her crescent-shaped eyes revealed a gentle smile: "Young master is here. Please let Miss rest for a while. I told her, but she wouldn't listen."

"Okay. I'll punish her for being disobedient!"

He skillfully pinched the delicate chin of the pretty young maid, the warm and fragrant touch filling his fingertips.

Su Jin's eyebrows drooped immediately, and two red blushes quickly rose.

Chen Qian gently squeezed her again before letting go, then walked behind Chen Yunxi and gently placed his hands on her shoulders: "What are you writing, so seriously?"

Chen Yunxi paused, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I've copied down the records about the various production areas in Li Kingdom from the 'Illustrated Catalogue of Five Elements Spiritual Materials,' thinking it might be useful to you."

Her voice remained gentle, but Chen Qian keenly sensed that when his fingers touched her shoulder, a subtle ripple spread through the Gray Pearl World, like a calm lake suddenly rippling.

Sure enough it was her.

The mother of my first child.

Chen Qian applied slight pressure with his fingertips, massaging her tense shoulders and neck, and casually asked, "How's your appetite lately? You don't seem to eat much for breakfast."

Chen Yunxi gave a soft "hmm": "Perhaps it's the change of seasons, I'm a little tired, but I don't feel hungry."

This is a common sensation during early pregnancy. Although it is not obvious, the sensations from the Gray Pearl World are not wrong.

Chen Qian smiled and turned to Su Jin, saying, "Go tell Zi Yao to make a bowl of yam and red date soup later tonight; it should be something nourishing."

Su Jin quickly agreed and ran off.

Feng Momo leaned on the windowsill and peeked in: "Me too!"

Chen Qian chuckled: "You'll get your share."

Under the eaves, Feng Momo was already skipping and jumping to pick the golden jujubes in the corner of the yard, clamoring that she wanted to eat them with soup.

Qingman followed behind her, holding a bamboo basket in her hands. While catching the dates that Mo threw down, she said helplessly, "Madam Mo, please slow down and be careful not to fall!"

"How could that be? Don't you know I'm a master of the Innate Realm?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Qian, inside the house, couldn't help but smile knowingly. Under his months of meticulous care and attention, Feng Momo had completely regained her lively childhood self; though now a married woman, she still possessed the charm of a young girl. Inside the house, Chen Yunxi put down her pen and gently rubbed her wrist.

Chen Qian took her hand and gently rubbed his fingertips against her palm, saying softly, "Rest if you're tired."

Her ears turned slightly red, but she didn't pull her hand away. She just said softly, "My husband seems to be exceptionally considerate today."

Chen Qian replied with a smile, "Does my wife mean that I haven't been considerate enough in the past?"

Ziyao brought a basket of freshly dried spiritual tea from the backyard, while Qingman took a small stove and tea set and started brewing tea under the eaves.

Su Jin returned from the kitchen and joined in to help. The three women chatted and laughed in hushed tones, occasionally punctuated by the crisp clinking of teaspoons against the rim of cups.

After dinner, Chen Qian neither went into meditation to cultivate, nor did he study magic or practice skills. Instead, he chatted with the two women and enjoyed the sweet time between husband and wife.

Feng Momo was happily discussing with Chen Qian her insights from practicing swordsmanship during this period.

Although Chen Qian is not very skilled in swordsmanship, his understanding of cultivation is far superior to Feng Momo's, and he can still offer many pertinent suggestions.

After their conversation came to an end, Feng Momo changed the subject and suddenly asked, "Brother Qian, didn't you notice anything different about Su Jin today?"

Chen Qian briefly recalled his encounter with Su Jin earlier that day. He had been anxious to find out about the children's situation, and although the two had exchanged words, he hadn't really observed her closely.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with this girl? I didn't look at her closely."

Chen Yunxi smiled and revealed the answer: "Su Jin has already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. She's too embarrassed to tell you herself and wants you to find out."

Chen Qian nodded and said, "It was my oversight. I'll make up for it tomorrow, and we'll have another grand family feast to celebrate."

Feng Momo immediately agreed, "That's great! There are a few girls in the valley who are good friends with her, we can invite them over tomorrow too!"

"These arrangements are up to the two ladies!"

Chen Yunxi nodded and said, "The day before yesterday, we received news from the Foreign Affairs Office that my father and sister would be returning home tomorrow, so we invited my sister over as well."

Chen Qian immediately pictured Chen Yunyi's stunningly beautiful figure, like a fairy from the moon palace, and felt a surge of excitement: "Are Father-in-law and Sister Yunyi going home? It seems the situation has eased up recently."

Chen Yunxi responded with a smile: "This time, the family mobilized a lot of manpower and resources to various markets and towns. The Lu family and their group did not gain much advantage."

"That's good. As long as we can maintain this peaceful period for a while, your husbands will seek justice for our ancestors one by one."

Chen Qian's parents, Feng Momo's father, and Chen Yunxi's mother all died because of the Lu family, and this debt will be settled sooner or later.

Momo gripped Chen Qian's hand tightly, her voice suddenly lowering slightly: "I have no memory of my father, and I don't know where my mother is or if she's still alive."

"Now I only have Brother Qian and Sister Yunxi."

Chen Yunxi also reached out and grabbed the hands of her best friend and her husband.

"When my husband's cultivation level is high, he will have to contribute to the family. I only hope that when my husband makes any decision, he will think of me and Sister Momo."

Chen Qian embraced the two women on either side, making sure they felt the heat and warmth to the fullest extent.

He really wanted to say that as long as your husbands don't want to die and don't deliberately court death, they are still very safe.

But these words will only be known to them when they experience them in the future; saying them now is pointless.

The night grew deeper and deeper. At this time of day, the Xi army and the Mo army would have already set up their battle formations to fight the Qian army. But today, the Qian army seemed to have given up and did not want to start a war easily.

Feng Momo is still young and a master with excellent physical condition. Although she has developed a taste for it, her demand is not high.

Besides, I've been eating too much lately.

Chen Yunxi, on the other hand, was much more perceptive and noticed that Chen Qian seemed somewhat hesitant and unsure of what to say.
