Three Wives and Four Concubines

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Shen Jingchuan leaned against the outside, and for no reason, he recalled the scene when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Meng Ke's body at Meng Ke house last time.

His skin was as white as snow, and his figure was curvaceous. Although it was only a fleeting moment, he was a cultivator, and his eyesight and memory were far superior to before. He remembered that scene clearly.

As he pondered, his heart burned with desire. He tried to suppress it, telling himself he couldn't think about it anymore. He tried to change his mindset, but then he became a little troubled.

In the other world, he already had two wives, Lin Qingyao and Bai Ruoli, and his relationships with several young girls, Yue'er, Qingshu, and Qinghua, were also ambiguous.

How can I bring this up with Meng Ke? Meng Ke is a true modern person, with a monogamous mindset. If she finds out, she'll be heartbroken, and might even never speak to me again.

But what could he do? He had no choice in getting to this point.

Bai Ruoli was drunk that time, and he was pushed around by her, so he couldn't just shirk responsibility; as for Lin Qingyao, he was the one who saw her body first, and that's why she was so determined to be with him.

Shen Jingchuan sighed.

Forget it, stop making excuses for yourself.

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, wondering when he had quietly become a playboy.

His biggest worry right now is how to explain this to Meng Ke so that he can continue to live his good life with his three wives and four concubines in peace.

Just as she was worrying, the bathroom door opened. Meng Ke came out wearing a bathrobe, carrying a hairdryer, and was tilting her head to dry her hair.

Shen Jingchuan quickly cleared his mind of all the chaotic thoughts, went over to take the hairdryer, dried her hair little by little, and then pulled her to sit on the bed.

"Did you know that you have already Qi Refining and are now a proper cultivator?"

"I know, I know, I felt it!"

Meng Ke's eyes lit up:

"Then quickly teach me how to fly!"

Her mind was filled with images of herself soaring through the clouds, and even driving felt uninteresting.

Shen Jingchuan chuckled, "You need to train your Divine Sense to control objects first. Right now, your Divine Sense is newly formed and very weak."

He pointed to the glass on the table.

"Come on, try to lift that cup with your Divine Sense. I'll teach you how to use your strength."

Meng Ke focused his mind as instructed, and after a long while, the cup only swayed slightly on the table and didn't leave it at all.

"See? This is your current level."

Shen Jingchuan took a bottle of pills and poured out a High-Grade Spirit Concentrating Pill. This pill was for Divine Sense, but it was too potent for someone who had just begun practicing. He used his Divine Sense to envelop the pill and carefully cut off a quarter of it. "Eat this little bit for now."

Meng Ke took it and swallowed it.

"While the medicine is still effective, quickly circulate it through the Cultivation Method."

The High-Grade Spirit Concentrating Pill is relatively mild, but it is still something that can only be used in the Qi Refining Late Stage. Even though she only used a quarter of it, Meng Ke still felt a slight throbbing and pain in her head, but fortunately, she could still bear it.

She followed her instructions and circulated her energy for one Greater Celestial Circuit, and the swelling and pain subsided.

"Come, release your Divine Sense and explore outwards using the method I teach you."

Meng Ke did as instructed, and suddenly her eyes widened. She felt her ears clear and her eyes brighten; she could even hear the sound of leaves rustling outside the window clearly.

She used to be slightly nearsighted, but now she can see things in the distance clearly, without any blurriness.

"Try that cup again."

This time, Meng Ke focused intently on controlling the glass, and it actually slowly lifted off the table, rising a little bit.

"Okay, put it down slowly."

The cup landed steadily back on the table.

I did it!

Meng Ke jumped up immediately, her face full of surprise:

"I can touch things with my hands now!"

He was so excited, just like a child who had just received a precious toy. He tried it around the table several times, and couldn't get enough of it.

"Alright, that's all the little tricks you've just learned. Look how happy you are." Shen Jingchuan shook his head with a smile.

He then realized that all she knew was how to meditate and circulate her internal energy; she had no skills in attacking, defending herself, or investigating.

So he focused his mind and transmitted several Technique Method from his mind to the other person all at once using his Divine Sense —the "Heavenly Eye Peering into Truth Instruction" could see through the depth of others' cultivation and could also conceal and change one's own aura;

The "Geng Metal Arrow and Shield Instruction" is a method of offense and defense based on the metal element; it can condense arrows for offense and transform into shields for defense.

The "Azure Wood Rejuvenation Instruction" is specifically for healing injuries; along with Fire Element Fireball Technique like Fireball and everyday Cleaning Technique, it covers a wide range of skills.

This time, Meng Ke already had a sea of consciousness and had developed Divine Sense, so receiving these things was painless and went smoothly. She closed her eyes and sorted out and memorized these things one by one in her mind.

"I'll try it in the yard." She jumped out of bed and pulled out her clothes to change.

"It's your own yard, what are you afraid of?"

"That won't do." Meng Ke rolled her eyes at him. "There are drones everywhere in the sky now, who knows what they'll capture? Don't forget about satellites too."

Shen Jingchuan thought about it and agreed. It was said that the satellite was very powerful, able to capture even the beard on a person's face clearly. He didn't want his wife to be exposed.

Meng Ke grabbed a few pieces of her own clothing from the closet and ran towards the bathroom.

"Are you really going to change them there?" Shen Jingchuan chuckled. "We'll just stay in this room. We're an old married couple, what haven't I seen?"

"You—" Meng Ke stomped her foot angrily, but still went into the bathroom. A moment later, she came out after changing her clothes and waved her little fist at him:

"You just wait! Once I master the Fireball Technique, I'll be the first to burn you to death, you big pervert!"

Shen Jingchuan laughed and put his arm around her as they went out the door.

The courtyard was empty. He looked around but there was nothing for her to try out; it would be a waste to burn any of them.

"Okay, try the Fireball Technique first."

He took a few steps back, his Spiritual Power surging around him, creating a faint protective shield:

"Come on, hit me."

"Huh?" Meng Ke was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

Shen Jingchuan glanced at her, his face completely indifferent.

"Your little Law Technique is no match for mine. If it could even hurt me, I might as well give up on cultivation. Do you know how many times stronger my Spiritual Qi is than yours? Come on, hit me hard."

Seeing his confidence, Meng Ke felt relieved and focused her mind and energy according to the Cultivation Method.

A sudden heat flared in her palm, and with a "poof," a flame actually burst forth. But she was so surprised that she didn't even try to move the flame out of her hand. Startled, she fumbled around and almost burned herself.

"What are you standing there for? Push him out!" Shen Jingchuan shouted.

Meng Ke was startled and quickly followed the method to send the fireball forward. The fireball flew towards Shen Jingchuan and was easily blocked by the protective shield. Not a single spark hit him.

Meng Ke remained frozen in his attack stance, completely stunned, before finally muttering to himself.

"That's terrifying... It's true, I... I really can unleash fireballs!"

"You call that a fireball?" Shen Jingchuan scoffed. "It's barely bigger than an egg."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Spiritual Power gathered at his fingertips, forming a fireball larger than a bowl out of thin air, its flames illuminating half of his face. With a flick of his wrist, the fireball shot straight into the sky, trailing a tail of flames.
