Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

The aftermath of the seven stabs in one day is quite severe.

It has been four days since Zhong Yan returned from the market, and his waist is still in a state of slumber.

Apart from eating and taking care of the children, he hides in the cultivation room to practice and make talismans.

There's no other way.

Each concubine is full of energy and has a high demand.

They often flirt with their eyes, convey messages with their eyebrows, and want to be favored.

After all, those who have been nurtured and trained, like sheep that have eaten grass, are more eager to eat.

After dinner that day, Zhong Yan kissed his eldest son on the face and slipped away to the cultivation room.

The group of wives and concubines exchanged glances, and Xia He smiled and said, "Eldest sister, sisters, I'm going to practice."

Yan Sandao and Qiu Xiang also left with their children.

When Chun Yu was about to leave, Jiang Ping stopped her.

"What's the matter, eldest sister?"

Jiang Ping rubbed her belly and smiled, "Let's have a chat, sisters."

"Okay!"

Chun Yu sat down next to Jiang Ping and also rubbed her pregnant belly. "Sister, do you hope it's a boy or a girl?"

"It's the husband's child, so either is fine."

Jiang Ping glanced at her and asked directly, "Has the husband not visited you for a while?"

Chun Yu paused, pursed her lips, and looked up with a grievance, "It's been almost two months, eldest sister. I've thought about it, but I can't remember when I did something wrong to make the husband so disgusted."

Jiang Ping held her hand and patted it. "Don't think too much, sister. We can all feel how good the husband is to us sisters. Look at the other masters outside. How many of them can be as caring as the husband?"

"The husband is busy with cultivation and has to support our big family. Maybe every time it's your turn, something happens by chance. I'll talk to the husband about it."

"Also..."

Jiang Ping suddenly tightened her grip on Chun Yu's hand and changed the subject, "Sister, you have already married into the Zhong family, and now you have a child. Don't think about unnecessary things anymore!"

A trace of panic flashed in Chun Yu's eyes, and she hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, please don't misunderstand! I have already thrown away the jade pendant! If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Cui. On the day of giving birth, I had her throw it into the waste bucket outside!"

Jiang Ping stared at her.

Chun Yu quickly explained, "The jade pendant was a token of our engagement. That person was my childhood playmate. I only had some thoughts before, but I never thought about what to do. When I saw the husband's joyful expression when he looked at the child, I felt guilty and realized that I shouldn't keep the jade pendant. So I immediately asked Xiao Cui to throw it away. Now I just want to serve the husband wholeheartedly. Please don't tell the husband!"

Jiang Ping's expression softened, but she still had some doubts in her heart, unsure if her husband had seen that jade pendant.

She had only seen Chun Yu holding the jade pendant absentmindedly once.

As a result, she asked about it and found out about this.

"We are sisters, I won't say much. I just want the Zhong family to be harmonious and stable. If I find out that you have other thoughts, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, Jiang Ping smiled again and said, "Take care of yourself, sister. Learn from Xia He and put in more effort to please the husband."

"Yes, thank you, eldest sister. Chun Yu will remember it!"

...

On the other side.

In the backyard of the tenth courtyard.

Xia He, who said she was going to practice, ran to the connecting door between the two courtyards as soon as she left the hall and used her lightness skill to flip over.

Looking left and right, she tiptoed to the door of the cultivation room and listened carefully.

It was her first time disturbing her husband's cultivation, so she was extremely nervous. Swallowing her saliva, she called out softly, "Husband, are you busy?"

Zhong Yan, who had already noticed her, rolled his eyes but had a smile on his face. He waved his hand and opened the stone door.

Xia He immediately jumped in, and when the stone door closed, she bowed with a playful smile, "Xia He greets her husband. I hope her husband won't be angry!"

"Why aren't you taking good care of the child and coming here?"

"Replying to the husband, Ning'er has already fallen asleep, and Xiao Qing is watching over her."

Xia He didn't look around and walked forward, supporting herself on the table, blinking her eyes. "Husband, there's something I want to ask you."

"Speak."

"I'm having trouble practicing the 'Infinite Sacred Heart Technique.' It's very difficult, and I feel that it's not as good as before. Can you give me another cultivation method?"

Zhong Yan was slightly stunned and nodded, "I'll buy one for you next time we go to the market. 'Infinite True Qi' is a fierce and domineering type, which doesn't really match the 'Willow Leaf Force' you cultivated before."

Martial artists also pay attention to physique, and different physiques are suitable for different cultivation methods.

Yan Sandao found it very easy to practice the "Infinite Sacred Heart Technique."

"Thank you, husband!"

Xia He smiled sweetly, her big eyes rolling as she scanned the materials on the table, showing no intention of leaving.

Zhong Yan's mouth twitched. "Is there something else?"

Xia He pouted, her lips curved. "Missed you, that's all~"

As she spoke, she moved her feet and walked around the table to Zhong Yan's side, sitting on his lap. "Just want to spend a little more time with my husband, just a little while."

Zhong Yan: "......"

Fine.

I wonder how long your "little while" is.

Zhong Yan remained indifferent, organizing the materials on the table.

Not long.

Xia He bit her lip, gently twisting, her eyes hazy.

The result was only a sigh.

Zhong Yan: "Ah~"

[Insight into cultivation techniques +1, experience in talisman dao +3, progress in cultivation +1]

...

...

The next day.

Zhong Yan watched Xia He and Zhong Xiaozhong practice in the courtyard.

Xia He had entered the first stage of Body Tempering earlier, but being pregnant delayed her progress for half a year. Zhong Xiaozhong surpassed her later and reached the peak of the third stage of Body Tempering, while Xia He was at the peak of the fourth stage.

Both of them had good aptitude and were willing to work hard. In addition, Zhong Yan bought various precious medicinal materials and monster blood for Body Tempering, so their progress was relatively fast.

In a direct confrontation, Xia He's long sword pushed Zhong Xiaozhong back two steps.

Xia He immediately turned her head and smiled proudly. "Husband, am I amazing?"

Zhong Xiaozhong bowed with his sword. "Lady Four has profound internal strength, I am no match for her."

Zhong Yan glanced at the two of them indifferently. "You're getting too cocky. Xiaozhong, don't worry about hurting her anymore. As long as you don't kill anyone, fight seriously and don't hold back."

"Yes, Master."

"Hmph~" Xia He wrinkled her nose and hummed lightly, then immediately showed a smiling face again, throwing the sword to Zhong Xiaozhong and running towards Jiang Ping who was approaching.

"Elder Sister! Slow down! What about Xiaohuan?"

Jiang Ping smiled. "It's fine, I let Xiaohuan go do something. Don't forget, I have also practiced martial arts. It's not so easy to bump into me. I have met my husband before!"

"Ping'er, no need to be so polite."

Zhong Yan approached and supported her, saying to Zhong Xiaozhong, "Go and inform Lady Two, buy a few more maidservants."

Then he said to Jiang Ping, "You can handle these small matters. When you buy people back, pay attention to teaching them the rules."

"Yes, husband."

Jiang Ping looked at Xia He and smiled. "Among the Zhong family, only Fourth Sister dares to act like this towards her husband. But outside, you can't behave like this."

Xia He carefully held Jiang Ping's arm and playfully said, "I know, I know. I rely on my husband's doting. But even if he dotes on me, it's not as much as Elder Sister!"

She turned her head and winked at Zhong Yan. "Right, husband?"

"Husband?" Jiang Ping was puzzled.

"You mind your own business. I'm going to talk to Ping'er."

"Alright!"

Xia He quickly left, but not far away, she turned her head and smiled. "Elder Sister, that's the endearing term I use for my husband. He likes it, you can try it too!"

"..." Zhong Yan's mouth twitched, he smiled. Although he was married and had a child, in the end, he was still a seventeen-year-old girl. In the previous life, even when she was an adult, she was still in high school.

Jiang Ping blinked. "Endearing term... Husband, can I call you that?"

"You can, did you come to find me for something?"

Jiang Ping then explained the matter.

Zhong Yan pretended to be surprised. "It's been two months? I haven't noticed."

He naturally knew, it was intentional. When it was Jiang Ping's turn, he had already gone to find Yan Sandao, Xia He, and the others.

After entering the Zhong family for such a long time, the other concubines' experience bonus in talisman dao had stabilized at 3, only Chunyu's was fluctuating. It would be a waste of internal resources to go to her.

Neglecting her would naturally cause problems to arise.

Jiang Ping knew her husband very well. With just one expression, she knew something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she truthfully explained Chunyu's situation.

"I see, I'll go see her another day and see how she performs."
